My dear friend Andrea Bonior who writes the Baggage Check column for the Washington Post Express on Wednesdays has been getting a lot of grief from Eagles fans since her column ran yesterday:
"Unless she discovered something over the past month that truly casts a new, negative light on your guy -- he's a cheater, a felon, an Eagles fan, etc...."
She and her husband are (obviously) enormous Redskins fans, which was quite entertaining when Fred met them for the first time on the eve of the Redskins-Eagles game last year, which we were all attending. Heh. Anyway, Andrea's (that's Dr. Bonior to you) comment clearly touched a nerve with all of the Philly people in the area, since she got tons of hate mail. I thought it was great that so many people read her column, but I don't think she saw it the same way. My theory is that if she had made the comment a year ago, Eagles fans wouldn't have been so uptight about it since the team hadn't imploded at the time, but there's something about kicking a guy when he's down. Still, it's not that big of a deal. One thing someone else commented on is that she should have said Cowboys fan instead. At least we can all agree on that.

I for one would still have been upset about it. But it wouldn't have bothered me as much. Yea there are some bad eggs, but every teams fans are a bit loony. Eagles fans can be annoying, but you don't want to mess with them in their house. I wish Caps fans can show up like that. That way we would have to out shout the Pens, Cryers, Rangers, etc.
Amen to the Cowboys fan part, amen.
