Football Fans
For Christmas this year my Aunt Janet treated me to my first NFL game on Christmas eve, which happens to be my favorite team...the Stillers! What a great present, even though they lost to the Ravens. My Aunt and Cousin are die-hard fans, so I had to take my cues from them. We geared up at the Strip, swung terrible towells and cheered for Benny Burger and Palomalu.

Later that week, I attended the second football game of my life. Even though Matt and I are not true Giants fans, we humored Dtox and modeled his closet of Giants jerseys. I didn't realize what a reaction this would create from Redskins fans. It seemed necessary for everyone to comment on our attire. It was also tough to ignore the stake burning of a Shockey jersey at the tailgate when I was in line for the porta-pottey...wearing a Shockey jersey. Overall, the game was rowdy mostly due to Matt's transformation into a Giants fan, which was directly proportional to the number of beers consumed. The evening was topped with a stabbing a few feet away from where we were parked. What a different experience from good old Pittsburgh.
