South Jersey iggles fans wish, they did it first

Watch this link from the Arizona NBC 12. Apparently Philly is not the only place with dumb rednecks as fans!

While Mitch Williams got death threats, and half the men in Clayton, NJ who wear Real Tree Camo "Git-r-done!" hats are readying crosses and nooses for McNabb over the playoff loss in Arizona.

These two obvious bar mates hatched a great idea. (If you were a 15 year old High School freshman!)

Take diesel fuel (the hardest to ignite, the worst to put out, and the nastiest of all for fumes)

And left messages for Donavan. None were soup related.

The 28 year old looks unfazed in his mug shot. The old man is embarrassed, not as much as the Cardinals organization by his mug shot!

Kurt Warner said he's just angry they forgot to thank God for fire and diesel fuel.

Former AFL star Kurt Warner , will play in his third superbowl!



Before he was in the NFL Europe, he was a Iowa Barnstormer.

Kurt Warner may very well have sealed the deal this Sunday, for a bust in Canton, Ohio. That would make Warner the first and possibly last Arena Football League alumni to make it to the Pro Football hall of fame.

The AFL had become a cult sport, that was all but invisible from the national TV scene. Kurt Warner leading Iowa to a pair of Arena Bowls, not only put the AFL back on the map. (Landing them on TNN in it's last days before the change to "Spike TV")

He also helped the AFL land its first major Video game.(He was with the St. Louis Rams at the time of the games release) "Kurt Warner's Arena Football unleashed" was on Play Station One. The previous two AFL games was a text game (no graphics) for the Comadore 64. And a proto-type game for the short lived 64 bit Atari Jaguar.

(I bought one during my Senior year of High School for 30 bucks brand new with two games. Fours years after the Jag was realeased. By the way incase your keeping score. Playstation 2 came out in the fall of 2000. It is still for sale for about $130 for a new system today. Even with Playstation 3 out for over two years now. And PS2 still has new games coming out. But that is not the point of this post.)

Below is some screen shots of the PS1 game. I know I hope to someday land a copy. I love the AFL and will always love the AFL even though I doubt the league will ever return!

I do hope Kurt wins this Superbowl. For all of us 50 yard, indoor war fans!
