I love football.
And so does Benji, the kid who gave his all to win our gadget of the month contest.
Hence, the golden tickets to the game. Nosebleed section or not, we did park ourselves comfortably along the 50 yard line.
I do believe he was excited to see our fine Jaguars put the smackdown on the Carolina Panthers. He even participated in our ritualistic, “Move the chains,” first down fodder…
Despite the fact that a fight broke out in the sausage line and I had to be detained for most of the first quarter to give a statement. Geesh. Why can’t overweight, no-shirt wearing, painted men just get along? Who knows. But free tickets are my lovely parting gift. I suppose my nine dollar Italian sausage will be lost forever.
Beer should be banned. So should overweight, no-shirt wearing, painted men.
I had a great day, all in all.
And I’m so proud that I got to take Benji along.
Those folks who asked if Benji was my son, had no idea how happy I was on the inside. If only I could’ve had a son…he’d be just like Benji.
And that, my friends, makes every Jag game a winning one…

“Tragedy Strikes Snack Bar”.
Tragedy struck yesterday during the 1st quarter of the Jaguars/Panthers game at the “Between the Buns” snack bar located in the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
A melee erupted between two allegedly intoxicated fans while standing in line at the vendor’s counter. A witness identified by the JSO as A. Bourbon, told police that the fight started when the two fans started arguing of the lentgth of their respective weiners.
Caught in the middle of this struggle was innocent bystander Ms.Doe Fostin. During the pushing, shoving and measuring Ms.Fostin was severely elbowed causing her to drop a freshly purchased $9.00 Sausage Dog, with peppers. A. Bourbon disputes this however, stating,”Oh No Babe, it wasn’t a Sausage Dog it was a tamale, or maybe a chimichanga, but definitely not a sausage dog”. To this Ms.Fostin was heard to say,”Whatever”.
Fostin was treated by EMT’s on the scene for severe condiment loss and later released.
No decision was reached on the length of the respective weiners and the two men were arrested and booked into the Duval County Jail, charged with interfering with Ms. Fostin’s meal, possibly a capital offense.
