I've got a few of them..

In 07 wen we hosted the Falcons, me and some friends were watching warmups and we heard the guy behind us looking at the retired banners in the Dome and told his son that Pete Maravich played for the Hockey team in NO.. and told his son "see? there's the hockey stick"... (talking about the Jazz logo)

We're in the Superdome getting ready for the preseason opener against Cincy this year. This guy behind us tells his friend.."Drew Brees has a great chance to win the Heisman this year"

During the Arizona game when Hightower scored on the first play a lady yells... "why wasn't Shockey in? He coulda stopped him!"

Don't you love it? I enjoy the people that wear the wrong jerseys. This isn't freaking England, if a player is not a legend/on a team, give it up. We used to have this moron who would always wear a Reggie Bush Saints jersey sit in front of us in Death Valley. Retarded.

Read "The Education of a Coach" and you'll change your tune on Belichick.

Same thing with the Tiguh fans wearing their gear at Saints games. Hell, there was a thread before the Vikes game where Tiguh fans were adamant about wearing their LSU gear to that game, even though it was the colors of the opponent.

I watched the Superbowl, probably the most anticipated game of my life, by myself.


I usually do that for LSU Championships as well as I did it for the Super Bowl. I want to concentrate on the game not some blabbermouth who isn't even a fan of either team........ price of living in S. Florida I guess.

MMA is unbelievable when it comes to the fans sometimes. I'll be the first to tell you I don't know the intricacies and just enjoy watching as a spectator. But, some of the shite you hear the average Joe say when you go to a random bar can't even be responded to. When everyone thought Kimbo was legit was a great example.

I love asking all these douchebag "diehard" Yankee fans who played SS before Derek Jeter came along...

The blank looks on their faces are priceless.

My brother told me to "shut the frick up" after I screamed my lungs out when Favre threw his first and second interception, and I bet he was downstairs pretty pissed off when I was cheering after the Tracy Porter pick.

Not really bandwagon, but yeah I don't like watching Football with him. He's your average NFL is 100% right, ESPN 100% knows what they're talking about, and the Saints are not going to win teh Superbowl kind of guy.

After this season, he started finding interest in Baseball and Basketball because well, he's probably a bit pissed about saying the Saints won't win the Superbowl, and then... yeah having them win it.

I love those people...

Before the USA England game at the world cup the bartender was striking up a convorsation and he tells me how Spain is his pick. I tell him yeah they are good blah blah and then ask him well why do you think Spain is gonna win?....

"Dude they have Ronaldo man, Spain cant lose with Ronaldo on their team." If youre not a soccer fan and dont get his retardation, its common knowledge Ronaldo is from Portugal not Spain. Obviously the guys pick worked out well, but I think my 3 year nephew could have picked Spain before the WC started.

the real question is what do you guys do?

a. let them keep talking and wait for the glorious awkward silence and blank stares

b. refute every false statement they make

I just smiled and nodded and ceased all soccer convorsation with the Pele of bartenders.

Im a boxing guy, I love watching any fight with someone in the ring whos worth a shite. The entertainment that results from people watching the diehard MMA crowd is fricking glorious. The Affliction wearing bottle service population that engulfs any MMA ppv showing is absolutely priceless.

My favorite is an LSU game tradition it seems.

Example: visiting team faces a 3rd and 12 from their own 15 in the student section in T.S. Quarterback completes a screen, player scampers for 14 yards before getting leveled by a def. back. Result: 1st down for the visitors. But what does our student section do...? They go ape shite because of the hit.

And fwiw - any "pinky" fan base can suck it.

one of my friends was at an Astros game and someone hit a homer in the sixth...

he stands up with his beer and cheers everyone with "Walk off home run!, Hell Yeah!"


My friends that were with him almost left.
