Oftentimes when I read the posts on this board I feel extremely disappointed. Gone are the days of rabid unending fandom that ruled the day when I grew up on taterskins Football. When I was 12 my indoctrination began with an eruption of thunderous cheering that ROCKED the house in which I stood as chants of 'Go Riggo!, Go Riggo! GOOOO!!' rang through the halls. And so began what seemed to be an unending 10 years of awesomeness and NFC East dynasties. But it did end. But what DID NOT end was my passion for watching MY team, MY taterskins. When I moved to Georgia in the mid nineties, I was praised for the loyalty I showed to my team by people who saw me day in and day out rooting for them until the last play. And let me tell you from experience, Georgia fans are some of the most spoiled fair weather fans you can meet. Bulldogs 10-2 but don't win the SEC, they suck! Braves win the division 15 years in a row but only 1 World Series? Losers!
Let me assure you, I bleed Burgundy and Gold. More so in years like these but just like in the Cowboys, taterskins 'miracle' of 2005 had I quit, given up and gone to bed as I'm sure SO MANY of YOU here did and MISSED IT. You will never know the glory of being a True Fan until you quit your Bi***in', shut up and know your role!

Lying ass friggen' dickhead taterskin fan. No way in hell  would any peoples in this country away from D.C. praise the pathetic idiocy that is taterskin fanaticism.

They really are hilarious, though.  The guy spent an entire paragraph congratulating himself for being a bigger and better fan than anyone else.

I mean, what's not to love about that?

What idiot would do that?

[Father Demon]

Wait?  We're supposed to stop being a fan if we move away?

[General_Failure]

Damn!

no but if you actually stay with your teams you automatically jump up a notch or two in fandom

How many notches for posting on a message board about crying when your favorite football player eva was shot in the nuts?

[Diomedes]

Oh, several.  The more seriously you take it, the more claim you have to fandom.

Cowboy Chris is scoring very high lately, for example.

I thought the post began well. It was poetic. But then it became less Jim Morrison and more Ardent taterskins fan. Ending with "Peace_" was a nice touch which integrated the seemingly disparate elements of lyrical expression and whiney little racist douchebag POS.

[BigEd76]

welp......the taterskins were eliminated earlier than the Eagles, so there's that 

f'ing swept by the Zorns

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Reid was outcoached by Zorn today.  I'm pointing and laughing.
