Philadelphia Eagles Fandom? Or Fan-dumb??

OK - I'm a far cry from a sports fanatic. I rarely watch any kind of sports and have little tolerance for some of the fanaticism that takes place for any sporting event (soccer, football, baseball, whatever). I can appreciate when the Eagles win, and am happy if they pull off a championship. I even know how the game is played and what different calls mean, but I cannot and will not be found with Eagles paraphernalia anywhere around me. I mean, I didn't even like wearing a high school jacket, for pete's sake - even WITH a sports letter (yes, really) and other award insignia. I can't explain it - it's just not me.
But, these two.....well.....all I can say is they're keeping it in the family. And, they take it a step beyond simple memorabilia - maybe more than a step beyond. You'll see.

So, what do you think? Would you want to date the younger of these two guys? Would you want your daughter dating him?

I don't see anything wrong with having a tattoo on your chest of your favourite sports team. To be honest I had a prejudice agianst tattoo. I have not had one myself but I would not think twice to have a tattoo of my favourite italian footall team Inter.

Wow!!!! I wonder if they will get like free tickets for the rest of their lives and that of their grandkids...Not sure if the Eagles make money playing but if they do are they going to fork over some to Dave and Dave....because they are such dedicated fans?
People do the strangest things...

I don't see anything wrong with what those two did, at least it can be covered up. I would not get a tattoo of anything but some do prefer them. I would rather see that than if it was on half his face or up his neck, some place visible. I do think it would be better though to buy a shirt or cap instead of a tattoo.

Personally I think anyone that gets any kind of tatoo is just plain stupid. I knew guys who were in the service during WWII that had tatoos and they regretted it and didn't have the money to have them removed. It's like... HEY LOOK AT ME!!!
Just plain dumb!
