The fan (not sure if it's a he or a she) is willing to become a fan of any team in the NFL "except the Dallas Cowboys."
He goes on to write, "If anybody bids on me as a fan, I will take the amount of money that is bid and donate it to the Pennsylvania SPCA - after it is paid. The winning bidder should notify me of the team that they wish me to root for this season. I will buy a hat from that team, and wear it every Sunday of the 2009 season. I will even root for your team to beat the Eagles should both teams be in the Super Bowl.
"Thank you for your time and consideration.
"Your newest fan."
As of last night, there were 35 bids and the top one totaled $162.50.
And speaking of eBay, two T-shirts are available for bid - one for both sides of the issue. One reads, "Lock Up Your Dogs Philly," the other says, "Forgive Vick, Go Eagles."
Give the Eagles this: The Phillies are enormously popular these days and the Birds sure managed to hijack some of the attention they've received this summer.
No wonder
Remember all that talk about Brett Favre possibly going to the Vikings? It's not so ridiculous if you consider this:
Coach Brad Childress says he is in no rush to name his starting quarterback. That's because his two choices haven't exactly distinguished themselves so far in preseason. And really, why would they be expected to? His choices are Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels. Not exactly Joe Montana and Steve Young.
