“Man, why does every sports fan gotta rap some?” I don’t know, all I know is he’s the best one.

Met this guy while filming at Monday Night Football – Eagles vs Bears. Learned to rap back in the 80′s from inmates at a correctional facility where he was a guard for 25 years until retiring 6 years ago. Says he’d rap on the yard and instead of attacking him the inmates would laugh at him and drop him some beats!

I can’t decide which part of this video is my favorite. The Brent Celek jersey? The f**king Beer Belt? I think it’s #18 back there responding to “like they say liquor first never fear” with a little squeaky “oh” like he’s Mac from ‘It’s Always Sunny’. To this guy’s credit he does a pretty good job freestyling what really goes on in his hood (getting drunk, watching the Eagles, getting drunk), but to his discredit he does it for almost two minutes and by the end of it you’re kinda tired of him rhyming sh*t with ‘quicka’ and even the cameraman is zooming around trying to find something else to do.

He’ll give you all of him until there’s nothing left. He swears this summer will be training camp. Bitch.

Kansas City Wizards coach Peter Vermes, pictured adorably in his mug shot, was arrested back in August on charges of driving while intoxicated, and most of us never heard about it because 1) He’s a soccer coach, B) It’s the MLS, and III) It’s Kansas City. But that didn’t stop fans of the Philadelphia Union from doing their homework and bringing some serious A game to their Saturday match against the Wizards. You could even say they brought their serious AA game. *bowtie spins, falls asleep at red light*

When the Wizards took the field at PPL Park, Union fans serenaded Vermes with their own special rendition of “99 Bottles of Beer.” And they didn’t stop after one verse, nor did they stop after 2, 5 or 10. They sang every verse of the song, with a few breaks here and there to celebrate the action or to acknowledge other events, but nevertheless this is one of the most dedicated attempts at heckling that we’ve ever seen in a sporting event. It’s nice to see that we’ve moved beyond throwing up on people and flinging batteries around. *sniffs* Our angry sports town is all growns up.

Video after the jump.
