Love how this got into All The Right Moves and my boyhood hockey team rooting interest from Gilroy34's loathing of music. And that the thread has generally been music nerds just shooting the breeze about music and other things. We should call this Gilroy34's music thread about nothing/everything else to do with ancillary interests to music.

We didn’t quit, Gilroy34 quit.

Back to music

Why on earth you'd root for Philadelphia football if you're not from the area has always been beyond me. My sister-in-law is an Eagles fan from a visit to Philly. I still can't wrap my head around it. "The passion of the fans," she says. You mean that require judges in the stands? Ay de mi.

Hey now!

I grew up a Colts fan till they split when I was a wee lad.  Didn't have a team till I moved to Philly post college.  Bought season tickets in the Rodney Peete/Ty Detmer years and the rest is history.  

Sure there are more than a few [bleep] Eagles fans, but on a whole, the fanbase is the freaking best.  All these soft Raven fans down here drive me nuts.

I grew up a Baltimore Colts fan and dropped them when that drunken ******* Irsay moved them to Indy. If they had moved today from Baltimore to Indy (like the Raiders to LV), I'd probably still follow them as being local isn't as much of a thing anymore with the internet.

Should have waited to respond until I saw this.   :hifive:

I was just razzing Pip about his hometown team because I regularly create scenes in the Shark Pool Philly thread. I don't think, however, I've ever been as mad at a football game as when DeSean Jackson returned that punt against the Giants in the last second. My internal temperature? Boiling.

I was so conflicted when the Browns moved to Baltimore for these reasons and more. I had a really hard time rooting for them the first few years, then just said "#### it" and caved.

A friend of mine married a girl whose last name was Raven.  He would always introduce her [first name] Raven, formerly [first name] Brown.

I know and all good. It's not Philly's fault that our fanbase includes a few of the most insufferable posters on the planet.  Or ist it?

Perhaps my last comment was a little curt. 

Maybe we can all be welcome...pull up a seat...shoot the breeze...

maybe we can talk about other things than music. I'm here for the defunct franchise/anti-Philadelphia Eagles chat for sure. 

But what would talking about the Eagles be without Fly, Eagles, Fly?

I know you knew, scorchy. Your fanbase on the board is, um, interesting. I've come to sort of like them all, despite my indications to the contrary. I wouldn't be in the thread if I didn't find it in some way...edifying. The Noid has great titles, but I guess it's mainly the in-the-know posting of DJax, the sort of stalkerish ability Deamon shows in quoting old quotes from years ago, mixed with the stylings of Long Ball Larry and Pip's Invitation that I've come to love so much. I can't get enough of that Eagles thread.

I feel like central PA is getting ignored here.  Does anyone have opinions on the Amish?

Did you miss the Scrantonicity reference? 

I think if it's Central PA, all that's going to happen is about Penn State, and that leads nowhere good on this board or in this format (especially with defensive alumni lurking, ready to pounce). 

 
By the way, I wasn't being sarcastic about LBL and Pip's. I heart their postings most of the time. Deamon and DJax fighting brings an extra dimension into the thread, too. It's a ####show, and damn if I can't pull up a seat.

I was almost 22 years old when the Colts left. It sounds so stupid now, but I was devastated.

A family friend was the team photographer and got my brother & I autographed pics of each of the '68 Colts - addressed directly to us. John Unitas, Bubba Smith, Lenny Moore, etc.... I still have them.

I'll tell an Amish story then.

When I got out of grad school in '96, I couldn't find a job. I moved back home with my parents, worked at the same beach-side restaurant, and went to Kinkos once a week to fax out resumes for positions I found in the classifieda of big-city papers.  Then the restaurant closed for the season and I still didn't have a real job...

My father had a side hustle in the winter making fishing lures.  He used actual deer hair and cast his own lead.  We would drive up to the Lancaster, PA area every couple of weeks to buy leftover tails from this Amish family that processed deer meat for the local hunters.  But the tails still were connected to deer ###, and Pop would pay me 10 cents per tail to sit outside and use a hatchet to chop off any remaining flesh.  After one particularly bad batch that actually had maggots on it, I saw fit to complain a little.  Pop said, "Boy, that's why you need to buckle down and find a real job unless you wanted to be chopping deer ### for the rest of your life."

Now we are getting somewhere!  This is way more interesting then listing favorite music.  Well done!

I'm sort of amazed that as goth as you were, you complained about maggot-rotted flesh. That would seem like a cause for celebratory song.

You've never been on a field trip to the PA Farm Show in Harrisburg, have you?

That was one of the two best games I ever saw until Super Bowl 52. The other was Miracle at the Meadowlands I -- yes, I am old enough to remember that.

I have to give a shoutout to LBL here. I used to pop into the FFA way back in the day, but was SP-only for a long time because the FFA had devolved into fights about politics. When the pandemic started, I had more time on my hands (and had stopped going to a couple of boards that I used to frequent but had gone downhill) and poked my head in here to see that the politics had mostly gone away due to the creation of the PSF, and there were a ton of music threads. I started posting in those, and some folks asked if I was an alias because they didn't know me from the SP. LBL vouched for me and after that I was treated like I'd been in the music threads all along.
