Disney World Mike Alstott

My wife and I had a Disney World trip planned. That week, the Rams were playing Detroit at Night. My wife does all the planning (We call her "Julie the Cruise Director"
, quick Love Boat reference. Anyway..I got her to add to the schedule that I got to go to the ESPN Zone, and watch the game, wear my Lawrence Phillips Jersey, and eat dinner, etc..
For those of you that have been, the ESPN Zone has like a Radio/TV Booth inside the bar, where there are hosts that have a talk show during games and stuff. That night, they had 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers , Mike Alstott, and a CB I can't recall. I was the only guy in the bar wearing a Rams Jersey, and during one play, Dre Bly picked it off and made a house call. I yelled "Pick it Dre!, Pick it Dre!!, while the ball was in the air. I was fired up after that. About 5-10 minutes later, the 2 hosts were interviewing Alstott, and they were broadcasting inside the bar, one of the hosts was a Bucs fan, and I guess the Rams came up as a topic, he saw me, and came out with the mic all puffed up talking trash. He asked which teams I had "Beef"with, and I replied any team that is not the Rams, then he asked who we had next week, and I stammered and stuttered, and could not remember. He smirked like I was not a true fan, implied something about fair weather, etc.. Looking back, I wish I could have said something like, "I only look at the current week, we never look ahead." (I think it was the Giants)
