Saints Fan Freaking Out At TV Over Bad Call During Bears Game



Putting aside the repressed childhood issues this man clearly has, here's a question, how fucking old is that Deuce Mcallister jersey? That thing has seen some frigen battles.

And I wonder this, because its  not like Deuce is some dude from the mid 90's or anything where it would make sense for the shirt to look like an oil rag from this guys surely redneck garage. The guy played from 2001-2009. So the shirt, at it's absolute oldest, is 10 years old, but I'm not buying that. This is a rational guy, I'm going to say he didn't rush out to buy this on draft day, I'm going to say he waited until Deuce's 1600 yard breakout season in 2003, so we're saying its 8 years old.

Now, that's pretty old, but its not faded and tattered old. I have a Tom Brady jersey that I've rocked every Sunday since mid-way through 06. While it doesn't look new, I don't exactly look like a City of Boston garbage man when I wear it either, it's still respectable. And since it's a jersey it only gets worn 16-19x per season.  I think I can safely extrapolate the wear and tear over the next 3 years and definitively say it will not look like this guys shirt in 2014 at which point it will also be 8 years old. 

So what's this guys deal then? Is this shirt more than just a Sunday routine for him? Does he just stake out that rocking chair every day in the Mcallister jersey and just wait for football season to come around? Has to be, right? I'm not one to criticize someone for flipping out as a fan during a football game, I once punched a whole straight through our ramshackle coffee table (allright, it was an orange storage container that we used as a coffee table, semantics), but I can tell this guy takes it to a whole other level. You see his youngest son accidentally stumble into the living room? Deer in the headlights. Made his exit as soon as his dad started to get on a roll.  There's a reason that tv room only has one chair, and that's because no one, NO ONE, bothers dad on game day in that house. GODDAMN BULLSHIT! 20 YEARS OF THIS SHIT!
