I won't say it didn't cross my mind, but no, I shattered her hopes of meeting a Superbowl Packer. She boots me to the front because the Pack is "her team" as she puts it.
Hell, I'm 38; the best I could do is an ex-DB at best anyway! :wink:
And really, you never see any players sporting much team apparel, much less an entirely decked out vehicle.
With my conquest to be the most annoying Packers fan here in Indy, it's been common, typically from women, to be mistaken for a player when you have on more than the common garb. To be honest, I think my wife enjoys it.....go figure. 8) God, to be 24 again.... :roll:
You would figure that I get a lot of sh#*t from the Cults fans, but to be honest, there are a lot of GB fans here in Indiana and I get more cheers than jeers. I've had a couple of fans scream and curse across intersections and the truck does get vandalized from time to time with kicks and thrown beer bottles. Fortunately nothing too costly as of yet.
I drive right by the RCA dome on my way home from work each day. During SB week, I took a longer route around so as not to offend anyone celebrating as there was a lot of activities going on downtown after the game.
The important thing is that I'm not disrespectful to the local fans. I don't taunt back. I believe that the team is best represented by the fans; and I'm not an Oakland fan. I would never boo my own team regardless of how badly they played or how many picks Favre threw (poke, poke, at you Bears fans), and watch the game to the last second regardless of the score. Not only are the fans visible to the other teams fans, but to the team as well. And it's just as important that they see your support and loaylty.
Here's a neat story....
When we were going up for the spring scrimmage this year we were going through downtown Chicago. As we drove down the street, a black Mercedes pulled up next to us with a large black man, well dressed in a white jacket and shirt. He turned around and waved at me and pointed at my flags ( I had the Packs Supoerbowl flag, team flag, and Miller flag all flying), then he turned his hand around and flashed his enourmous ring at me and shot me a thumbs up. To be honest, I couldn't quit tell who the hell he was, but I was thrilled with the experience and that he was got a kick out of the truck.
It's funny that if you merely have a "G" on your bumper, people barely pay mind to you. You go a bit overboard, and people feel the need to show either their support or disgust. Must be some pyschological thing.
