And first of all, i tailgated with panther fans who were fantastic guys just like last yr for the phins/panther game. Great food, steak and sausage kabobs, chicken, homemade beer, chips, slaw, beans etc etc
Great hosts, tailgated from 3-8. good times.
Now for the game....i didnt wanna be "that guy" who goes to a game for the panthers/titans and wear a dolphins jersey. I always make fun of "that guy" when i see him on tv.....hell there was "that guy" at the game last night wearing a ed reed ravens jersey.
douche.
Anyways, I wear a plain grey nike football shirt, and my florida marlins hat. I have no dog in the fight, so ill go with the basic football shirt and a different sport team on my hat. Not repping the dolphins, but still repping miami!
305 whattttttt!!!!!!!!!!
moving on.
I am sittin next to my wife, there is a couple next to us, then another couple 3 and 4 seats away from us. The guy in the couple is wearing a plain black shirt with a mets hat on. So i immediatley find that funny (haha just like me hehehehehe)
So the games winding down (boring!) its around the 4th quarter, the panthers got shut out of the end zone for like the 45th time, and settled for yet, another field goal....and this guy is trying to scoot past our row to get to the stairs....he gets passed me and says
"marlins fan? or just wearing the hat?"
I say "no, iam a marlins fan. **** iam a dolphins fan too.....just here cause i got free tickets"
he starts laughing his *** off and says "iam a jets fan, and a mets fan....just here watching the game cause i got free tickets"
WOW
So this guy is me.....the universe exploded millions of years ago and made two similar molecules who would eventually grow in 2 different part of the country, thinking the same, being the same, acting the same, expect liking different sports teams......
So we laugh and both soak in, what truly just happened. Not only was this guy a met fan and me a marlins fan (2 rivals, 2 miami/ny teams) but we both we're wearing plain jane t-shirts, and our baseball teams hats. and we were both not even panther fans, we were dolphin/jet fans (hated rivals, both from miami/ny) but we were there at the game, 3 seats away in the same row, because of free tickets.
The guy was funny, no **** talk between us, it wouldnt have made sense. We were connected. It was somewhat.....of a miracle.
We talked baseball, we talked a bit of football, but not too much...we both got a feel of (we know our ****, this could get ugly) so he tipped his cap, said "lets put our differences aside, for what just happened, is in a word: incredible"
I agreed, we shook hands, he walked up the stairs......and i left the game and puked everywhere in the parking lot from drinking 13 beers, 4 shots of homemade liquor, and some nasty dick tasting wine.
Amazing night. Whata time. Isnt that a cool story?
or................maybe i was just drunk?
