Of coarse, the weather people were RIGHT this time about the snow, sleet and freezing rain last Friday.
Bastards.
What a nightmare I had at BWI Friday morning.
I got up just before 4:00am so I will have extra time to do everything I needed to do to get to BWI on time.
Hit the road at 4:30am after clearing 5" of snow and sleet off my truck. The trip normaly takes 35 to 40 mins to travel from my house to BWI, but this time, it takes 1 hour and 20 mins, and I have 4 wheel drive.
Along the way, the snow and sleet changes to sleet and freezing rain. By the time I get to BWI, it is all rain and I have a ice coating on my truck about an inche thick.
I get inside BWI, get my tickets and go threw security and I am now in the terminal. I get there before the 7:00am flight to Pheonix and ask if I could go on stand by for that flight when it does take off.
The airline people (America West) said that there is a seat open and gave it to me.
That's great because when the flights start to go out, I will get out earlier.
So, I am sitting there waiting for the airport to resume takeoffs and most people in the terminal were Redskin fans going to Pheonix like me, except for one Cowboy fan.
Yes, a Cowboy fan wearing an E. Smith jersey and a Cowboy hat giving shit to all Redskin fans around him. I sat there about 50 feet away listening to him yacking it up saying he was going to make our flight miserable for all Skins fans.
He started pointing people out say he was going to ride you and ride you just being a tipical Cowboys asshole.
Well, I had just enough of his shit, so I stood up and said loudly "Hey, are you going to shut your mouth. You are surrounded be Redskin fans thoughout the terminal. I would not be talking like that and I don't want to hear your crap on the plane either." It got real quiet in the terminal for a minute.
Then some other Redskin fans started saying "You go Riggo." (I was wearing my Riggins jersey) He then said "I can say anything I like because I started this and I will end this."
I said "I don't think so and you better sit down and shut up. You are hurting my ears." Then another Redskin fan said "He is going with us to see our game in Pheonix." I then said "What is up with that!!! Why aint' you going to see your Cowboys?" He said "I am here to see your team LOSE and give y'all crap." I said "You should not be giving anyone crap after we just beat you 14-13 on national TV."
He then said "You got lucky." I said "Like the Boys did last year at the game in Dallas." He looked like he could not find anything to say and I said "Didn't think so" and I sat down.
He got quiet after that and I continued to read my paper. I look around to see that 2 police officers had walked up and started to talk to the America West people. They hung out for a while then walked away.
A few minutes later, I see this man that looks formilur wearing a Chicago Bears hat. He walks by me to go look out side at the weather and it is Michael Wilbon.
Oh, I wanted to go up to him and tell him how I feel about some of the bullshit he says on PTI and about his comment about Joe Gibbs being a "cry baby" about the Refs, but I heald my tongne because I did not want the airline people think I was a troublemaker after what happened earlier with the Cowboys fan.
A few minutes that, we hear that flights are resuming and we should be able to board here soon. Then about 15 minutes later, America West said that their is a communication problem with the plane and we will be delayed for 30 more minutes.
Then they came out and said that the flight is now canceled and we have to go to the ticket counter to rebook a flight.
So, we all walk down to the ticket counters to rebook. I get to the counter and told the agent that I was originally on the 10:00am flight but I wanted to be put on stand by on the 7:00am flight but was given a seat, so could I get my old seat back.
They told me that the flight is all booked up but then saw in the computer that my name WAS NOT taken off of my seat assighment, so I did get my seat back.
Thank God.
I had to go threw security AGAIN but I got on my flight by 1:00pm WITHOUT the Cowboys fan. Him and most everyone else had to find flights with different airlines.
Lucky for him.
