Why Dave Belknap is the Greatest Guy Who Ever Sat Behind us at a Game

Throughout the history of sporting events there has always been the misfortune of having other spectators sitting in your vicinity.  Whether it was "Too Fat and Sweaty Guy" (who needs two seats between himself and the next patron) or "Show Up in the Wrong Jersey and Cheer Obnoxiously Guy" (always a Cowboys fan)...being the presence of others can ruin an otherwise beautiful Sabbath of drinking and cheering for blood.

This all changed when we met Dave and his great family, Rosemary and Dustin.  Why can one patron make the difference, you ask?  For starters:

1) Dave is not afraid to ROCK a matching orange 80's hairdo with his son on a ninety degree day, even for the preseason.

2) Dave laughs when I joke that the starting quarterback will be bagging groceries next year...even after the prophecy is fulfilled.

3) Dave brings alternative burgers to the tailgate and points out that we're eating a beloved disney character, even though he made it delicious.

4) Dave is willing to move seats with us next year so we can be closer to the aisle seats.  THAT IS LOYALTY PEOPLE.

5) And lastly, if three starting quarterbacks go down and we are forced to bring in our last option (and I mean LAST- the next step is letting the audience participate) he will be integral in starting a section wide chant of "TYLER THIGPEN."

Thank you very much Emily. I can say those same kind words for you and Scott. When you purchase season tickets, who sits around you decides how much fun the season will be sitting there. And when we met you guy's I knew I picked the perfect seat's. When someone befriends my son the way you guy's did, that shows how great your character is and Dustin loves you guy's and loves tailgating with you. I look forward to next season and many seasons to come sitting next to you guy's and tailgating with you at all the games.See you guy's at the Pro Bowl.
