Letter from my Father to the owner of the Philly Eagles

[MarylandMark]

My Father sent this to Jeff Lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles who play at Lincoln Financial Field ("The Linc").

OUR LOVELY VENUE...THE LINC STINKS

On behalf of myself and my son...season ticket holders for 49 years now, I want to thank you for a wonderful time at your venue yesterday.

I am in Section 137 and upon arrival, I went to our row and noticed there were...behold...no seats visible to one's eyes for you to see, nothing...nothing had been cleared away. Mind you, I paid 3500 dollars per seat and I own 4 of them plus 95.00 dollars a game and this is what I was greeted with yesterday.

Personally, I wished someone had dripped, thats right dripped, not dropped, a 300 pound snow ball right in the owners box. He sits up there in his warm box looking over us like we are his slaves. The snow had never...never been touched and it was higher than our seats so please, because I know he will not have the guts to call me, please tell him in passing...thank you for nothing yesterday. Thank him for not taking the time or the effort to remove one inch of snow in our entire section.

I am sure, since we boo him at every chance, he could not care less about our comfort since he has our money and just nailed us for the playoffs but I am taking the time to let you know how embarrassing it was to have 49er fans look at us and merely wonder...what the hell kind of owner do you have.

Thanks for a great day yesterday. Too bad nobody came down out of their lofty tower to shovel a spot to sit down in. I think for 95.00 dollars we should be allowed to sit in our seat. Merry Xmas or whatever down there.

I found it hilarious but then again I can see his tone and how he would say it to his face if he could...

Them Philly fans can get rilled up!

Simple solution...don't buy tickets anymore.

The Green Bay Packers always make the extra effort to remove all the snow before a game. They even ask the local media to send out the message to anyone that wants to earn some extra cash, to come to Lambeau Field and start clearing benches.

 

[Wobble]

Sounds like a simple breach of contract.

You're talking about a team that hired Michael Vick. What do you expect?

 

[Expensive Date]

How is his neck? you know the one he hit on the seat when he slipped on the snow.

 

[LaughingCat]

Your father should move to Florida. Our teams don't win, but the temp will be in the 70's this weekend.

Have any photos of this alleged snow? We haven't seen anything like it down here since the great freeze on Christmas Eve 1989. My door lock froze and I climbed in the rear hatch.

Did you know they sell more anti-freeze down here to women slowly killing their husbands than cars? Elin just ordered 4 cases.

Sorry, here's your thread back.

Philly fans are famous for booing Santa Clause and Mike Schmidt.

All you saw on the news was how great the stadium was cleaned of all the snow.

Never could understand a working guy giving money to a millionaire/billionaire team owner so he could redistribute that hard earned money to a thug player to squander for the next few years only to retire from the sport broke and in trouble with the law.....all for something you can watch on tv for free, all the beer you can drink for cost and the comforts your home can offer!

They probably only cleaned the "away" side which appears in the background.

I've always said the best seat is my recliner with the a/c running. I've been to enough football games to get the feel. I sure as hell wouldn't go to one that I had to sit in snow to watch, even if they had free puzzy and beer!

I think that was one of my old mans issues. They moved the game from 1Pm to 4:15PM to clear the snow and not a drop was cleared where he was at.

Even the sorry ass Redskins were able to move 25 million pounds of snow with 1200 workers.

Go to a game, even better go to an Eagles game!

Not a chance. You mentioned something about snow. I'm just some dumb, not plumb dumb.

Free puzzy and beer I'm in:cheers2:

If you had a party with free puzzy and beer, some dumb sonofa***** would ask for ice cream.
