Are you ready for some football?

I went to the Monday Night Football game in Landover, MD last night and was among the disappointed fans who saw the Redskins get filleted by the Eagles. The game was so bad that the highlight of the evening happened in our section and was far more entertaining than the game. This is a sad state of affairs, especially when you find out what I am talking about. Read on.

In the 3rd quarter, 4 Redskins fans (I would have preferred that they were Eagles fans in this story, but alas they were not) caused a bit of a stir. Two fans, also Skins fans, departed their seats to go grab some frosty beverages. One of the aforementioned Gang of Four took this opportunity to relieve himself on the vacant seats. Yes, he peed in the stands. He managed to do this without any attention from the surrounding fans who were engaged in the game. Well, almost managed, because a young woman in front of them turned around and witnessed the exposed anatomy and stream of urine.

Soon after, the fans returned to their seats, where they were informed by the young woman of the events that had transpired in their absence. Needless to say, this was "discussed", and at length. I had a Philly fan next to me that was appalled by the events and I never thought I would see a Philly fan upset at anything that happened at a game. If you know Eagles fans, this might make more sense.

Regardless, this whole affair transpired less than 4 feet away, so I had a front row seat. Security was summoned and the 4 a-holes moved to another part of the section. Unfortunately for them, there was no lack of people willing to point them out to Security and all four were removed.

Yes, this was far more engaging than the game, which puts this season in a new light. I took young Trey McCormick to the game with me, but I never mentioned this to him and I don't know if he picked up on the events beyond the fact that 10 people were yelling at each other for an entire quarter of play.

The funniest line of the "discussion" came from one of the 2 victims when asked by his girlfriend why he didn't just kick their asses. He replied that he "wasn't going to get locked up in PG County". A wise man indeed.
