'The player's' jersey in philly

[SA_Gunslinger]

i can't even bear to write the letters of you know who anymore, but i thought you guys would get a kick out of this tidbit.

so, i was at the mall tonight and to my surprise, i step into a modell's (think of it as philly's Academy Sports) and see a huge stack of cowboy jerseys of....the player.

uopn conversation with the clerk at my surprise that they had them at all, let alone lots of them...she told me it was their number one selling jersey BY FAR. can't keep them on the shelves. and you could tell she was irritated by admitting this fact, which made me smile, i'll admit.

now, for those of you who haven't been, let me paint the picture. this place must have no less than a dozen different eagles players jerseys on one HUGE wall, so that is pretty shocking to me that those are being outsold here where the player is totally reviled.

i was totally surprised. anyways...that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it!

Number one seller BY FAR! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm not surprised that many TO/Dallas fans live in Philly, but I am impressed by their bravery. That's something I love about Cowboys fans, we show our colors no matter what.

Maybe they are making a lot of dummies to hang in effigy

Wouldn't be surprised with those Philly fans.

One of my best friends is an Iggles fan, and while he hates the Cowboys, he continues to appreciate TO and think he got a raw deal from his team.

Don't get me wrong, he'd never buy a Cowboys TO jersey (unless as a gag gift for me) but he still considers himself a TO fan. TO was beloved in Philly... much moreso than Donovan.

You went to the mall....

You mean your wife told you that right?

If it goes down this season, and TO lights it up, leads our offense to big things, while McNabb continues to mire in his choking vomit, there will be revolt in Philly. They can't take much more.

PhillyCowboysLover: Do you have a TO jersey?

PhillyCowboysLover: Do you have a TO jersey?

i do not.

i have 2 major rules before i buy a jersey.

1) you must be a cowboy your entire career (preferably) or be known BEST for your time in dallas. (e. smith, dorsett come to mind) occasional leaps of faith are taken on rookies.

2) you must do SOMETHING good on the field in a game that matters before i buy the hype.


needless to say, T.O. will not qualify...at least, not yet. i was TEMPTED though!!! but i'm worried i'll be burning it in 2 years, anyways.

however....i did but the $20 T.O. "jersey t-shirt." i can live with that investment.

I've never purchased a jersey of a player that wasn't homegrown, although I was awfully tempted on a Charles Haley jersey once.

Sounds good! I will not buy a TO jersey, cuz' I highly doubt he will ever be rememberd as a Cowboy'. Not saying he'll mess up, but he'll probably be rememberd for other things. (hehe) I do have a Williams and planning on a Newman one.

Demarcus Ware is my next one.

I usually wait about 3 seasons to make sure I don't get stuck with a lost cause but I'm that sure Ware is going to be a monster in this league.

That wouldn't happen to be the King of Prussia mall, would it? Anyway, my friends go back and forth between ripping the Eagles' management & team (QB, anyway) for losing TO and telling me the 'Boys will win the SuperBowl because of him, so it doesn't surprise me that it's selling so well up here!
