Now I know you are a better human than I Alex. Absolutely no way I’d have went to a sweet 16 on an Eagles Super Bowl Sunday. Maybe it’s because of all that additional suffering with the Eagles through the 80s. More likely it’s because I’m just a jerk 🤣

This is the first I’m hearing about your book (sorry if I’ve missed previous mentions). Very cool!!

I think the 80’s broke my dad and turned him into the lunatic I saw in the 90’s hahaha

Yeah I feel that. Luckily for me a large chunk of their games were blacked out during that era so I didn’t have to actually watch.

There were games blacked out in the 90's! My young brain could not fathom it. It would ruin my Sundays man. I think I blacked out those memories actually. Thanks for reminding me hahaha

Great opening with the wedding and Sweet 16 on SB Sunday. Grew up in the South and saw my share of grumbling at Saturday weddings in the fall, which always made me laugh.

Also, great call out on SLP. No BS question: are “crabby snacks” real or purely something the author came up with? I’ve heard varying reports, Eagles fans make them now, after the movie came out, and no, they’ve been around for years, everything in between. I can’t tell if Eagles fans are just Fn with me saying they’re not.

There should be a reality show called "My Daughter's Sweet 16" -- focused on dads and all the shit they have to go through on that day. You could exec produce it.
