Me first, So im riding passenger side of the car a few days ago..And up ahead I see this big ole purple eater in an adrian peterson jersey walking up the street..So i thought hmmmph... not in Atlanta! So while approaching I let my window down and as soon as we were close enough, i yelled "FALCONS!"... the huge dude turned around and flicked me off ....Best drive by ever.. Good thing we didn't have to stop at a red light :unsure:..

Lets hear yours

In an underwater Cave about a mile or so back into the system breathing 65% Helium and staring down at multiple hours

of decompression on pure O2,,, knowing that if I do not do this correctly I will go into seziure from the O2.

Start convulsing, spit my regulator and drown.

Oh wait there was this time that i was doing a deep ocean dive and had about 20 minutes of deco left when the Bull Sharks showed up.

With 15 minutes of Deco left they went into an arched position and they seemed a bit nervous about something or another.

I guess some bumazz must have rang the dinner bell, and with 5 minutes of deco left I got the F%$#! out of the water, got out of my gear, ate 4 motrin and drank a Gateraide and went on Pure O2 for a few hours.

Could not dive again for 6 months, but Hey, that was better than becoming Shark Dung

:wacko:

Translation please, for us nautically challenged, and if I may ask, what your near

death encounter with Jaws has to do with the topic at hand. Was it wearing

some sore of NFL jersey? I'm confused

Mine isn't so much a story as an occurrence. Every time I don my Turner Jersey I hear it from all the bear fans up here in Chicago. Especially when the Falcons play/beat the bears. Its all in fun though as I look like a football player so nobody gets rowdy... even when they are trashed

[apl2g]

I live up here in MA so every time the Falcons play somewhere near here ( new york giants or jets, buffalo, New england,) i'm there with all my falcons gear!! I've had a thing or 2 thrown at me at the games.

I went up to visit my old college stomping grounds around my birthday in '08, and some friends and I went to a bar on Sunday. I was GLUED to the Falcons vs. Saints game (the one that we had our way with 'em in our house). At one point during the game (I can't even remember which play it was now), I stood up so quickly that my chair toppled backward, and I started jumping up and down screaming "YES! YES! YES!" while our guy took it into the endzone. Of course, our awesome play just happened to coincide precisely with an interception from Brady. I swear I was about to be tarred and feathered by an angry mob of Bostonians before they realized I was watching a completely different game than almost everyone else in the bar. As it was, had some obscenities sent my way and a pint of beer almost thrown at me.

Although at least that one was just a misunderstanding. I've never seen death stares like the ones I received when I was watching the other Falcons/Saints game in an airport that year ... the New Orleans airport. When Ryan scored his first rushing TD all year to give us the lead in the fourth quarter, I jumped up and did a small victory lap around our terminal. (Of course, I got mine on the ensuing kick-off return. -_- ) I ended up near tears on the plane because all the Saints fans were taunting me (not that I didn't deserve it after me running around them in circles in a Falcons jersey), and one fan took pity and bought me a glass of wine to make up for the loss.

It's 2008. Me and two of my good friends are on a party bus with other friends and we are on our way up to the Bears game. Altogether, there are like 12 of us, but only me and my two good friends are Falcons fans and we all three have been for over 20 years. The others were a mix of mostly Bears, 3 Ravens, and 1 Giants fans. One thing they had in common, they all did NOT like the Falcons.

So it's early in the morning and we are on our way up to the Dome to Tailgate in LOT A. After a few Bloody Marys' and couple of sips from a Flask that was being passed around, the whole group started to sing about beating the Falcons in every song that came on the radio.

Sitting in the game, we were surrounded by Bears fans on all three sides. Throughout the game, me and my two buds had been talkin some pretty heavy smack to every Bears fans in our vacinty, and we received in return. We even had some of the Bears fans that we were yaking at leave when the Falcons made the goal-line stop. When the Bears scored the go ahead TD with less than a minute to play, this bears fan came down from like 4 rows back and got in my friend's face and started talking smack about "that's why you don't talk **** till the games over, blah blah blah". I thought my boy Charles was about to swing on this guy because this Bear's fan was in his face finger and all. My friend Shane separated the two and he returned to his seat 4 rows back. So we all know what happens next, Falcons win! Charles turns around and looks back at the guy and shouts "that's why you don't talk **** till the games over."

The whole way out of the dome Charles was yelling at the Bears fans that we passed "the Bears should play on Saturday, the big boys play on Sunday"

Needless to say, we didn't get no slack on the way home like we were given on the way up!.

I have some pretty interesting incidents at games, one that's most memorable happened in 49ers playoff game in '98. Some of the main parts of the story are a lil much for a message board.

don't be surprised if the Police show up at your house. Whoever the guy was, now has grounds to press charges on you for assault.

I'm sure your GF's parents were really impressed by your behavior, and I bet their trust of you with their daughter increased 10 fold

NOTTT!!!

Sounds like a tall tale to me, imo

What kind of restaurant has a Sunday GAMEDAY atmosphere in the middle of June?? C'mon now, everyone was wearing their black and gold?? In the middle of June.

why would you act like hellion with your girlfriends parents their? maybe even endangering their daughter at the same time.

I'm calling total BS on this. Whole story sounds like complete fabrication. Creative, but doesn't make sense.

im in MMA kelcey's parents know ive had training in martial arts and kelcey told them what happend they actuly thanked me for defending her,

and he threw the first punches and luckly my g/f's parents left just before the fight happend but i already had to talk to the police this morning... i got self defence because he threw the first punches it was caught on the parking lot video and the fact you could smell the beer on his breath from across the lot didnt help his side of the case.. the officer even told me i had nothing to worry about.

If your in MMA you would know that a fighters hands are considered weapons, and their is no self defense when your a trained fighter.

You say your GF's parents left before the fight, but in your first post you said you picked her parents up.

sorry man, nothing personal, but I'm still calling BS

[kibitzer]

My wife said, "It's me or the Falcons."

I miss her...........sometimes.

I feel you on that one, man! (although, I'm remarried now)

I did run into my ex the other day, though. And then I backed up and tried to run over her instead.

I miss her, sometimes.

Not one to quickly call someone a liar, more power to you if it is true. If not, you should try writing fiction books because that's one **** of an imagination.

i know my hands are considerd weapons but after he threw punches i wasnt going to go down and take them thats why i tackled him and then he kept punching and i got a hold on his wrist and i put him in an armbar to get him to submit... im not proud of fighting him or breaking his arm but i did it in self defence, and its fine if you dont believe it i know its kinda hard to believe... and kelcey's parents left to go to the the keg the bar on line street its only 2 blocks away from the resturant we went back to the appartment and just waited it out until her parents had us pick them up

[paulitik]

I've probably had too many to count, not sure if they count as gutsy, but memorable. I've been to as many away games as home, so there is usually a story from each game. A few that stick out in my memory:

Ain'ts at the Georgia Dome in 98'. We were smacktalking with some Ain'ts fans in the upper decks. My best friend's fiancee was really getting into it, even though she really didn't like football, which was really strange to me at the time. Although there were 3 guys, 2 girls we were yelling at, one of the Ain'ts fans got in my buddies face , stepped away from him, THEN TOOK A SWING AT HIS FIANCEE! The his girlfriend tried to jump her. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen, and probably why I loathe them more than any team in the world. 3 grown men and he takes a swing at the 95 lb girl. Luckily, he grazed her, we all jumped him, and security stopped the whole incident before it got too out of hand. He was thrown out, and we got a warning after several minutes of trying to explain the situation. Weirdest thing I've seen at a football game.

Redskins 06'

I was wearing a Vick jersey and got in a shoving match with a Skins fan who kept asking me about the Ron Mexico thing, and asked how I like knowing that my QB had herpes. The 1/8 Cherokee in me responded: "How do you like Smallpox? #### you and your racial slur team name!" After we came back from 2 TDs and kicked their arses, I ran into him again in the metro (somewhere on the Redline, I was hammered), we got into it again. Some girl gave me a flower, and being drunk, not caring, I put it in my hair, making more of a spectacle of myself. The guy started whistling at me, so I started calling him a few choice names and telling asking him if "he thought I was pretty", The train came up, as we were getting on the train arguing, I grabbed his dreadlocks as the door closed on the train, I stuck them in the train door as I jumped off and watched the train roll away. The brief moment when I saw on his face was priceless. I'm lucky I didn't get shot. Jager shots and giant beers not a good idea at another teams house.

Carolina, GA Dome 04'. I was working earlier that day and threw my back out, slipping on some ice. Later that night, I reluctantly went out to meet my buddies to watch the primetime game at the Sportsbar. The bar had really comfy leather couches, so I thought my back would be cool. A few drinks later in the 4th Quarter, Vick made that Superman play to tie it up, forgetting about my back, drink in hand, I leaped up screaming fist in the air, realizing mid-jump, my back was out (slipped disc). Not able to catch myself, I fell on the table front of knocking about 10 drinks off the table, and diverting the attention of the whole bar from Vick's incredible play, to my stupid-arse.

Well this one isn't really guts but it's a true story that could happen on this board on any given day.

It was somewhere back in the early 2000s when this board was loosely moderated. I got into a real psn match with one of the posters here. Think his name was Cannonball or Sam or something like that.

Dude got so psd at me he sent me PMs saying I wanna come up there and beat your as. (He was from Alabama).

I told him sure drive up here take Exit # take a left then a left on Stonewall Tell and meet me at 5600 Sonewall Tell Rd which is a Police station. I believe that clown actually drove up there. I can really get under a poster's skin.
