bringing reading material to a sporting event

There's a difference between cheering and being obnoxious, though.  Just because you're yelling loud doesn't make you a better fan than someone sitting quietly.

I've sat with people who were loud and drunk and wish they'd sit down and shut up.

I have a hard time thinking that people were pissed off at your for cheering for your team in their own stadium.  Are you being totally fair in that assessment?  Perhaps had you had quite a bit to drink?

If you were simply rotting for the Phins then I agree completely.

I think it's safe to say that plenty of us have been rotting for the Phins for quite a few years now. Maybe we can shake some of the mold off if Parcells turns things around.

Nicely done FYO. I actually saw that before I hit post and thought I corrected it. Could I have unconsciously done that twice?

When I attend as a fan I bring me and my wallet.  When I am on assignment I have all kinds of personal things to keep me busy, including papers, magazines, iPod, etc.

Househead and I attended Saturday Night's Marlins' game.  We show up to the game and he has folded under his arm "The Economist" - a magazine for nerdy businessman types.

I called him a nerd and ridiculed him for the remainder of our time at the stadium, sitting thru 4 hours of rain delay before the game was canceled.

Sounds like Flo made the right choice.  You sat through 4 hours and didn't wish you had something to read or do?

Dude....cut me a break. I thought I could sneak in and read an article or two during downtime...which there is a lot in baseball.....as busy as I usually am, I find it hard to find the time to read the weekly and thought I might have the chance at the game.
