    My father would take me to training camp at Albright. His first training cam and the first autograph I ever got.

    FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW....

    SO LIL BIRDER HANGING AT THE GAYTE, I THINK IT WAS AFTER THE VIQUEENS BEAT DOWN THE NFC TITLE GAME, AND THIS GUY TAPS HIM ON HIS SHOULDER WHILE HE'S MAKING YET ANOTHER BIG LEBOWSKI, AND SAYS EXCUSE ME, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SIGN YOUR JERSEY?

    SO HE TURNS AROUND, LOOKS UP AND SMILES SAYS HELL YA!

    YUP IT WAS THE FUTURE HALL OF FAMER.

    BEAUTIFUL GAYTE MOMENT.

    Never forget that Harold’s receiving streak was ended by a cheap shot from the filthy Puke Dennis Thurman.

I can recall that happening at least 2x back in the day.

    i remember one Christmas it happened and my mom decided to get me Houston Oiler mittens and cap because I told her Earl Campbell was a beast. Seriously, what the fuck, Mom?

    EDIT: here's a perfect example. Very limited options. I had that entire bedroom set on right hand side of page 52. Also, the corkboard on page 51 as well but not the eagles. My aunt would just get me whatever b/c it was all the same to her.

    Had that eagles shirt on page 58. That was sweet.

    my first Carmichael was that bad bitch on page 59!

    Only too well!! Somehow I got an Eagles clock radio for Christmas one year!! You’re right though Birds stuff few and far between, I did snag an electric football game that had all the teams, and set my play up just right only to have the players do the dizzy drills they used to do at Camp Buddy!!

    wanted one of those jackets on page 60 so bad but nooooooo. Couldn't afford that! I got one a year or 2 later though. The sleeves would always 'crack' and the white polyester shit inside would always fall out.
