I’m Lynn Swann’s cousin
“In case you didn’t know I’m Lynn Swann‘s cousin my man!”
I must have heard that 15-20 times yesterday while I was at the Steelers/Browns game with my buddy John. There was a group of 6 behind us who wouldn’t shut up through the entire game. It wasn’t just cheering, it every play “OH NO YOU DI-INT!” “OH SCHNAP!” and my favorite “WHO MAH BOOOYYY!” topped off with constant banter about how sucketh it is to not have Crown Royal available in the 500 level.
Finally at the end of the 1st he added “I called Lynn Swann, my cousin, and told him we were coming to the game and he offered me his box seats but I said we already had tickets.” OK so you’re going to pass up seats in a heated box, which is probably stocked with Crown Royal and other free booze, to sit out in the cold with the rest of us who pay for overpriced beer and food. Yeah, that makes total sense.
Yesterday during the 2nd quarter this happened
For the next 20 minutes while Ben laid knocked the funk out on the field, we listened to “Ben get up! Ben get up!” “Awww Ben just get up and walk around! Come onnnnnnnnnnn Ben”.
Lynn Swann‘s cousin and his group finally left in the 4th quarter leaving myself and John laughing our asses off. I wish I would have gotten his picture to show you but that was a FAIL.
It was my first game in years and I did have a great time at it. It’s one thing to see the games on TV but there is a completely different experience while at the game. It’s the fans who make it a memorable experience. That and my peanut shells that took flight during gusts of wind. Thanks for a great time John!
Oh check out what I won from some txt message conference.
Here are a few more pics from the game
