I won't throw batteries at you or anything or even boo you if you don't choose this one, because I suspect you'll get better ones. (Ahem, like Scotty's) Still, I think it's at least a little funny, and shows you should never be surprised where you'll run into Eagles fans.
On December 27, 2006, we went back to the same resort in Jamaica for our 5-year anniversary. Of course, this was 2 days after the Eagles' excellent, playoff-clinching win over Dallas on Christmas, and between the win and the much anticipated vacation, I was in a great mood. This time, the Eagles would follow me to the Caribbean. The movie on the flight down was "Invincible". I was wearing an Eagles hat and t-shirt, of course, and when we took a walk around the resort to see how things had changed since our last visit, I was accosted by a group of guys asking me to sing the fight song. It turned out there were two huge wedding parties from Philly there at the same time, and they told us how they had basically taken over the resort on Christmas and made the Jamaicans re-aim the satellite dish so they could watch the game.
Later in the week, while relaxing after a day on the beach, i was able to watch a little of the Eagles-Falcons game, which the network cut away from when it was rendered meaningless by Dallas' embarrassing loss to the Lions. It would have been a great trip no matter what, but the Eagles' big win over Dallas made it even better.
