Keith Van Horn and Chris Webber, Philadelphia 76ers: All Eric Bruntlett has to do during the World Series to become the best #4 in recent Philly history is not wet his pants during an at-bat. We believe in you, Eric! (Found by Jay in Philly and Bobbyoz in Staten Island.)
Sal Fasano, Philadelphia Phillies: As a Phillies fan, I’m pretty worried about who the team will DH against lefties in the World Series. I’m also downright terrified that we no longer have the clear series edge in Fu Manchus. (Found by Adi at Citizens Bank Park.)
Bradlee Van Pelt, Denver Broncos: “Do you have any Styx LPs? Jake Plummer said if I didn’t bring him a copy of Kilroy Was Here I’d never get to start a game.” (Found by Mike in Boulder, CO.)
Jeff Lageman, Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jags may have a bye on the NFL’s schedule this week, but this guy’s wardrobe never gives them a day off. Get back in there, Beuerlein jersey! (Found by Rob in Jacksonville.)
Pete LaForest, Philadelphia Phillies: The Phightin’ Phils may be bound for the World Series, but take a minute to think of all the Phillies who never made it. David Bell. Eric Milton. Pete LaForest. The guy toiled in Philly for 14 whole games, and he never made it to the Series. It’s like he put up that .091 slugging percentage for nothing. (Found by Evan in Philly.)
Akili Smith, Cincinnati Bengals: As if owning these jerseys wasn’t bad enough, Carson Palmer’s injury has these guys staring out the window and wondering if a jump would end it all. (Found by Chris in Cincinnati.)
Brian Brennan, Cleveland Browns: The Giants’ secondary was so porous last night that Brennan actually had 30 yards receiving despite retiring in 1992. (Found by Willie in Cleveland.)
Adrian Murrell, New York Jets: Thes two were teammates on Jets squads that went 3-13 and 1-15. They’re wandering around this parking lot looking for Bill Parcells to rescue them. (Found by Paul at Giants Stadium.)
Jeff Pilon, New York/New Jersey Hitmen of the XFL: “You call this NFL crap football? Give the me the Million Dollar Game any day.” (Found by Mike V. at Giants Stadium.)
Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala and Lee Flowers, Pittsburgh Steelers: Would you believe this couple has sons named Kordell Stewart and Yancey Thigpen? (Found by Dave in Pittsburgh.)
