Seeing the story of over-exuberant Eagles fans celebrating their advancement to the Super Bowl earlier this week — complete with open bonfires and the cops greasing light poles with Crisco so idiots wouldn’t climb them — reminded me of a story told by Dave “The Predictor” Murray, the sports guy on my morning radio show on WCXR/Washington many years ago.
Dave had gone on a weekend hockey trip to Philly to watch the Capitals play the Flyers. When he got back to work Monday morning, he shared the experience with our audience, complaining about the loud, crude fans he’d encountered, including one in particular who kept shouting obscenities at the visitors while spilling beer down Dave’s back and smoking a disgusting-smelling cigar.
Dave paused, then added, “and her husband was worse!”
