Confirmed, Parker.  Sam and Chris stood right in front of my girlfriend and I night 2.  Thought it was ironic that one of the only other guys out there taller than me decided to stand directly in front of me.  Then realized it was Sam Bradford and Chris Long.  I like where your head is at LBSUNFLWR, it gave me a little incentive to draft Sam on my ff team this year after watching him jam out at OBH in January.

Just another reason to like this guy. I'm hoping he and his wife make OBH4, would be a good place to continue the party of winning the Super Bowl or forget about losing the Super Bowl, which ever happens.

Gotta love everything about Chris but as a Giant fan and Eagle hater, I sure hope the rest of his team is thinking about a White House visit too.  :wink:

You know Brady and Belichick aren't, and are just thinking about how to beat the Birds.  :thumbsup:

Worth noting the guy donated his entire salary for this season to charity, total class act.

NFL films just released a documentary called "On the way up" about Chris Long's waterboy's charity which builds wells and brings clean water to isolated communities in Africa.  I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but figured it would be of some interes to people here. And he's rocking the MMJ T-shirt from the op in the opening

Somewhat related because of the NFL, but the end of the Eagles - Bears game yesterday was nuts!! That timeout was timed perfectly.  He kicks a good one, then flubs the retake. And I read somewhere he recently signed a 4 year, $15 million deal. Good money for a double doinker!

The kick was tipped at the line, still a terrible disappointment for Bears fans but I hope that kicker at least slept a little bit knowing that

Yes it was tipped, but his 4 year 15 million dollar contract will make him sleep just fine.

If he's watching the Phi/WFT game tonight on Fox, I'm sure he just got a kick out of hearing OBH playing in the background during a commercial for a John Madden special they're going to be airing soon.

I know I did.  :thumbsup:

There's definitely a Jacket fan working for FOX sports someplace in their production. Heard some more MMJ yesterday during a game heading to commercial. This time it was Black Metal.

Heard that too.  It was during the Cowboys/Cards game! 

Pretty sure it's the guy featured in this article:

Phish and Football Thursdays?  Credit (or Blame) This Guy (https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/12/17/fox-producer-who-got-the-nfl-to-jam)

I googled it last season when I kept hearing Dead and Phish songs being played in certain games and came across that article.  Pretty cool shit there!  :beer:
