Tom Selleck has Nothing on this Eagles Fan

by Dave Cariello on Oct 10, 2009 7:00 AM CDT

This is my buddy Erich. To be honest with you, I've never actually met Erich in person, but he represents a company I do lots of business with so I talk to him a few times a week.

Erich lives in suburban Philadelphia which means he's a die-hard Eagles fan. So when our two favorite teams faced-off in week two of the NFL season, it was the perfect opportunity to place a friendly wager: Loser must grow a 25-day mustache and wear a humiliating t-shirt of the winner's choosing to work.

You know how the rest of the story goes; the Saints destroyed the Eagles by a score of 48-22. But Erich is a man of his word and willingly offered proof that he kept his end of the bargain, despite his wife's protests. Here he is with his wonderfully mature mustache and the shirt I gladly made for him.

Let's all take this moment to laugh at Erich and remind him that this is 2009. Never bet against the Saints this year.

Thanks for being a good sport, Erich.

What a trooper....

Dave, we gotta get you some better phototshop type software

Bringing families together through incorrect grammar and incoherent thoughts, don't mention it. It's what I do.

I don't know...

I kinda like the chalk-scrawl graffiti. It has an elemental, crude power and strength feel to it…

Ouch! :-D

…and I only bet a 6 pack with my Steelers fan freak buddy…

…before the season, he figured that Carolina (HA!) was going to be the team to beat in the NFC South, and I politely explained to him that the Saints were going to go undefeated in their division.

I get a sixer when they WIN the division, if they sweep, I get two. To lose one 6er they have to not win the division, if they don’t make the playoffs, I lose two 6ers.

I’m expecting to have 12 very good microbrews to watch the playoffs with this season.

Good bet win, Dave! :-)

Love it-the only thing you forgot

are the lycra "stretch " pants (hopefully you remember or knew about TO’s wager a few years ago with Andy Reid)
PS- don’t circulate this photo in Philadelphia- it could prove hazardous to his health!!

Erich, you are a gentleman and a scholar and a good sport

Dave, you didn’t tell us about this bet until now…had we lost (perish the thought!), would you have shared the photo evidence of your holding up your end of the bet?

good - I know you are a righteous man

I just had an image flash in my mind of you with a moustache looking like Borat with an “I Love the Falcons” t-shirt on…

I thought for sure with your name

that you might have some SPAM to post but apparently not. You just love the Saints and your big women.

LOL, reminds me of the yearly bet I have with a friend.

We bet each year on the LSU-Arkansas game. He drives a Jeep that’s decked out in Razorback stuff like the spare tire cover and whatnot. When LSU won that year he had to drive around with and LSU banner, that basically covered the entire back of his Jeep for two weeks. He also had to say Geaux Tigers anytime someone mentioned LSU.

Unfortunately, this year I have to wear Arkansas Razorbacks junk and facepaint to the LSU game. Not gonna be a good day. I better make a sign that says it’s a bet, or I might not make it out alive.

The people who say, "Winning isn't everything," don't win very often.
