I worked in the NFL for a couple of years and during that time I would always try to sneak into the pressbox or talk with other employees who were Skins fans.
I love the Skins no matter what. Yeah there are times they piss me with some of their bone headed moves off the field off but at the end of the day I could not imagine pulling for any other team.

Shame that you don't see things like this in the schools anymore. Hard to find people that are true to their local teams.
Side note, what'd you do with the NFL if you'd like to share?
