There is nothing like gloat to summon the right creative muse. Deflategate has certainly inspired some fans to write some of the funniest signs to grace the bleachers. This orange-haired fan and his sign are just one example of that.
Whether the deflated balls were intentional or not, one thing is for sure — the fans will keep making the most of it for years to come.
Mamma's Boy
The top items on our bucket list are a never-ending supply of snacks, taking a selfie with Oprah, and attending an Oscar party. But, to each his own, and this fan's mother's bucket list is just as valid.
Items one and two on this list seem pretty legit. Who doesn't want to raise good children and explore the world? The third item is not as common but we do commend the mom on having interests that most women her age aren't that passionate about. We hope she got what she wanted.
Feeling It
The Philadelphia Phillies have been at the top of their field for many years. They took home one championship after the other and had their many fans roaring with pride. When the team that had been so far ahead got a new coach who wasn't able to deliver right away, the fans made sure to be loud about it.
The new coach, Gabe Kapler, said in an interview that he is the man to take the team to the playoffs. One of the fans obviously didn't approve of the new coach's message and made a sign to say as much. We were just wondering about the paper bag. Was looking like a serial killer really necessary?
Tell Jimmy I Said Hi
Let's take a second to talk about something very important — Jimmy Garoppolo's smile. That heaven-sent gift to mankind did not go unnoticed by the two girls holding up this sign. Hoping to get a glance or even a flash of a smile from their idol, they put together a sign that is sure to catch his eye.
And while we're at it, we would also like to note that Jimmy is 6' 2", has the physique of a Greek god, and eyes that would look great by a candlelit dinner. If he ever gets tired of playing football, he would do well to start a modeling career.
Eating Them up
Picking a mascot is a tricky thing to do. You want the animal you chose to symbolize something powerful, something your fans can get behind. You want it to exude strength and pride. Animals from the top of the food chain are usually a popular choice of mascot. Take the Jaguars for example.
While we acknowledge the importance of every animal to the Earth and its ecosystem, we wouldn't recommend opting for a tiny little bird to serve as a mascot. Let alone when you play against a team whose mascot could literally eat yours.
