THE YELLOW SEAT CUSHIONS!!!

Atlanta playoffs at RFK – had to be 10 degrees, tops, pouring raining, and Mobil was giving away foamy yellow seat cushions. Glanville flat out called Gibbs a wuss and neon-Deon announced he'd be back to DC, as a Super Bowl champ, to meet the President. MC Hammer was even there, dancing that stupid dance.

Fast-forward to the 4th quarter. Skins score the TD that sends us to the championships. That’s when the cushions flew, all 56,000+ of them to the sidelines, midfield, endzone, one even hit my head (I tossed it on). Refs had to stop the game to clear the field which threw the stadium in damn near unconsciousness from the frenzy. Refs even turned to Gibbs to ask him to get us to chill. It’s a wonder we didn’t sink that stadium into the Potomac.

Yeah, I threw my cushion. Regretted it for years until I snagged one about 5 years ago, mint, at a yard sale for a buck. It’s true what they say – one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I would have paid near anything.

I’m taking my cushion to Canton next week with a Sharpie.
