Home Game - Eagles Bucs playoff 2002 at the vet. Matt, our boys Scott and Jesse, two cases of miller lite and a bottle of jager.

Road Game: Every road game is good times. New Orleans was fairly epic and the fact that I can't talk about a lot of what happened speaks volumes. Met Feva and Moloko and wasn't disappointed. My favorites though, will always be Skins games. I don't have any knuckle-chuckin' stories like IGY, but taking over the stadium of the team I grew up hating more than any other sports franchise is too good.

Road Trip: New Orleans. But Nashville was fun too. Both games ate balls. The Nashville hotel also ate balls, but the food was good and the music was good and meeting hbionic was a long strange trip that will stick with me long after I would like it to. Meeting Demon was far less traumatizing. Sarge picked me up at the airport, that big softie.

Tailgates: The Eagles Bucs game mentioned above. It was only a four man tailgate, but we were a goddamned wrecking crew. Also, that was the same day that Lindros returned as a Ranger and we watched the pre-game fight and Flyers game in the parking lot of the Vet. Good shtein. I'll give a runner up to the tailgate where I met Beermonkey, T, MURP, Rome, PG and lots of others. Crashed on SunMo's couch and terrified his family. I'll also say this, IGY and I have our differences but he is an extremely gracious tailgate host.

TV Moments: Being buried under 34 inches of snow in my house in Boston with the ladyfriend cowering in the kitchen while I screamed and paced and watched the Eagles finally make the Superbowl. Oh right, and the comeback this year. Sick.

Home Game - been to a few, all at The Vet. Reggie Whites return to philly. 1994 NFL 75th Anniversary weekend and those god awful uniforms. Great game. Favre happy feet at their best as birds D held the Pack out of the endzone in final seconds.

Road Game/Road Trip - Seattle, December 1992. Randall, Reggie, Seth, Andre, Herschel, Barnett, Evans. Birds had to win and the Seahawks were horrible. Ruzak won it as time ran out in OT. Almost gave me a heart attack. Seahawks may have sucked but the Kingdome was nuts.

Tailgate - Seattle. Raged at FX McRory's before and after the game. Cool thing was my coworkers were Seahawk fans and we flew up for a long weekend. Another associate of ours in Seattle had a customer who was the largest liquor distributor in Seattle. They had a 40 yard line suite where we watched the game from. Amazing.

TV Moment - Tie, Wilbert and BMitch's opening kickoff return in NFCG. Still can't and never will believe they lost. I never jumped or screamed so loud in my life after that return.

Home Game; 81 championship game. i was young so there is no tailgate to speak of but it was such an experience for me to witness that and be a part of it with my dad.

Awesome! That must have been the best.

Most fun home game was this

I'd rather see the Eagles blow out the cowboys than a nail biter that I'd be pissed through most of the game anyway. Best moment was pacman's fumble at the end of the half (Clemons stiff arm was awesome as well as Hanson's return too. shtein, the whole game was ecstasy).

Worst loss I went to was the worst loss even, NFCCG to Bucs. The opener for the Linc the next seasons also sucked because it was a carbon copy, they learned nothing in an entire off season. The wild card losses to the Rams and taterskins in 89 and 91 also sucked greatly to be at.

Only been to one road game (except SB39, which was a blast up until they lost, NFL tailgate party was off the charts good). It was the loss to TB when the journeyman kicker hit that 6000 yard fg at the end of the game to win. You could feel the 30 mph gusts coming into the stadium shortly before. Got to see McNabb do the technicolor yawn though, got an excellent view as he was right in between me and the sun. Couldn't tell you what he ate.

Otherwise never tailgated because my buddies always go to the Philadium for some unknown reason other than they have been doing it for years.

Favorite moment at a game was me yelling "Tice you meat head, you just lost the game for your team." I was sitting 15 rows back from the Vikings bench when they badly botched a fake FG in the '04 playoffs. I know Tice couldn't hear me because he had his headset on, but I'm sure some of the players did (waited until the crowd noise died down) and knew it was true.

I'm not from Philly, but I considered only Philly games for "home."

Home Game -- Nov. 21 1999...the first Eagles game I ever saw in person. Donovan had his first TD pass as a pro -- to Chad Lewis -- in garbage time after Peyton Manning and Edge shredded the Eagles. I'll never forget seeing the field for the first time, great day.

Road Game -- October 19, 2003. I was living in Brooklyn working in Manhattan, getting free tickets from a marketing guy who had Philly in his region. My boss and his family were at the game as well. That may have been the first NFL game my wife had ever attended. I was hoarse the next day, as was every other Eagles fan in the house..it was ecstasy.

Road Trips -- n/a

Tailgate -- I met a bunch of fools from here a couple times long ago.

TV Moments -- The Wire.

I remember that game. Colts were blowing them out and late in the 4th qtr when the game was already decided, Jim Mora threw the challenge flag on that one.
