be cool and you might get harassed, be a dick and get your ass kickedWe're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

Steve Erban , the tour operator says with a dead serious look of concern:
"The first thing you better understand is...you are in foreign territory."
"Do not be 'over inebriated' (sic-this passes for English in Minneapolis) because they will be." (And that means certain death for 'outsiders)
Rob Olson, the newsman in the airport, is also dead serious about his warning.
Clearly , the chances of a visitor returning in one piece from an Eagles' home game, are next to zero.
A couple genuine assholes.
True story. It's just a sample of one but the irony here is entertaining:
In the 16 years we've been spending our Winters in Florida, we've become acquainted with other Snow Birds from all over the northern US and Canada. There's a group of up to 16, give or take, who frequently socialize. Moderate alcohol consumption, cordiality and good humor is the consistent ethos among the group, whether it's during the day on the beach, on a big party boat or at some evening get together. With one notable exception. One guy, after a few drinks, almost invariably starts an argument and grows increasingly hostile. Never any punches thrown...not even close It's not that kind of crowd. He just spoils things for others. His antics usually end in ruining the evening for his wife (who spends much of her life apologizing for him) and sometimes, if it's in a restaurant, for all of us.
The point of all this... again, an unrepresentative sample of one...he's a big Vikings fan from the lake country in Minnesota.

I'd say that he probably shouldn't go to the game then."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
