In that pic yes she's a redhead, but it's not natural. She's actually fooled many a haridresser with her haircolor. Her natural hair color is a dark brown. She thanks all for the kind comments.
Thanks. I like "real football" too - I cheered for soccer for 4 years while I was in high school (our h.s. football team was lucky to win 3 games combined in all 4 years ...)

I like most sports - and of course Fieros!
Cute, educated, likes sports and Fiero's...don't tell me you like beer and red meat or you will break my heart!
A (semi-)veggie football fan? I didn't think that was possible.
eh, i'm not really a vegetarian - and sometimes i love a good burger. but i'd rather have seafood. oh, and i love wings - the spicier the better! you don't get more "football-food" than wings ...
this picture is about a year and a half old, but i don't have any recent ones (other than those from the steelers game), so it'll have to do.
Looks good but the resolution appears to be poor. Hard to form solid conclusions on limited information batches.
I definitely enjoy a good steak but wings and Sashimi (or sushi) are definitely good too. Since these guys can't figure out PA, maybe you should move west and GO COLTS!
What are you talking about "wrong side"? I'm not all that far from you ... less than 50 miles actually.
I guess he just assumed that being a Steelers fan you wouldn't be from the eastern half of the state. I assumed you weren't either until you said that. So what are you doing living east of The 'Burg and rooting for the Steelers? You live in Eagle's territory...and you know how Eagle's fans are.

Rofl Derek hit the nail on my coffin, since I didnt reconize your town name I just ASSumed you were in W-Pa, your just west of reading (had to map it this time so I didnt make more of an ass of myself for not doing my homework)
I'm just glad you root for a PA team, I mean you could be a cowboys fan.... and you know how bad the blood is between them and an Eagles fan is....

believe me, i know how Eagles fans are - I work with hundreds of them. I think I'm not an Eagles fan because I'm turned off by how rude and obnoxious they can be (no offense). And I was a big Bus fan and i'm a huge Big Ben fan - so i'll probably root for him wherever he goes. I just love the 'Burg. I'd consider relocating to the "other side"

When it comes down to it, depending on who they're playing - like if its the Browns or Dallas or someone like that - I'll root for the Eagles. But i'm glad that you decided to map where I am I couldn't help it when I saw the comment - because I know where you are and I can get there in like 30-40 minutes.

No offense taken, I know too. That is the fun of it. What other team has newspaper articles written about how others team's fans will not come to games in our stadium because of the fans?
I go to school out near Lancaster and I have found Harrisburg to be the dividing line for PA football allegiance. Of course I know Cowboys fans back my way, but they would never admit to it in a crowd of people much less wear their jersey's to a game at The Linc...
Now with all this football talk, I'm itching for the season to start. Training camp starts pretty soon, I'll have to take a run to Lehigh U.

TAMPA -- Margaret Bowles is a diehard Bucs fan who has missed just one home game in 17 seasons. She makes many of the away games, too, and was at Veterans Stadium two years ago when Tampa Bay and the Philadelphia Eagles met in the playoffs.
It was not, she recalled, the City of Brotherly Love.
Two security guards stationed themselves behind Bowles and her friend, but their presence didn't deter Eagles fans from targeting her black-and-red Buccaneers parka. It was a long afternoon. And the Bucs lost.
"They were just in our face, they would jeer at us, and poke us, and tell us to go home," Bowles said Tuesday after half-heartedly searching the Internet for tickets to Sunday's NFC Championship game in Philadelphia. "I vowed I wasn't going to go again."
As hosts, Philadelphia sports fans have, well, outdone themselves. Years of fisticuffs and upturned beers and taunting -- even Santa Claus was bombed with snowballs during a halftime show -- have given them a well-deserved reputation for inhospitality and even violence toward rival fans.
Although the winner of Sunday's game goes to the Super Bowl, Philadelphia fans' boorish reputation is one reason few Bucs fans will trek there this weekend, tour operators and ticket brokers said.
"BucFanTours WILL NOT be doing a game package to Philadelphia. This is sad, but the potential for problems and client injury has our insurance agent lying awake at night!" reads the Web site for BucFanTours, which organized trips to almost every Buccaneers away game this season and already is taking orders for Super Bowl trips to San Diego.
"As much as we want to support our team, the Philadelphia fans just don't get it. It's just a game!!"
Dennis Pfeiffer, the owner of BucFanTours, said he tried to get a large block of tickets for Sunday's game -- "so maybe we'd be like Custer at Little Big Horn" -- but could only find them in twos and threes. He scrapped the trip.
"I just didn't feel comfortable putting two Bucs fans out in a section of Eagles fans," Pfeiffer said.
Clients who have traveled to the Vet for previous games reported being hassled constantly, he said. Plus, Sunday's game is the last for Veterans Stadium, which will be demolished. Pfeiffer feared the fans would be even rowdier than usual.
"These guys are going to have a screwdriver taped to their leg or a tire-iron, and when the game is over, they're going to want to take their seat with (them), because they've been sitting in it for 20 years," Pfeiffer said.
Pfeiffer's concern doesn't come from soaking up too much sun in Tampa. The fans' lash is legendary. They have thrown snowballs at opposing players, referees -- even their own cheerleaders. They once cheered when Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin suffered a serious neck injury. Fights in the stands are routine.
The Vet even has its own jail and magistrate's court, so arrested fans can be adjudicated without leaving the building. This Sunday, an extra 120 police officers will be posted inside the stadium.
"There's no question, it's 100 percent true," said Ryon Smith, owner of Ticket King of Florida, a Tampa firm that is not sponsoring a trip to Philadelphia, either. "I've been there before, and I wouldn't walk in there with team colors unless I was with half a football team. It's that bad.
"There's nothing wrong with a little good natured ribbing, but it's not even good natured up there. They want to fight and be nasty. Everybody's heard of them booing Santa Claus. Nobody's safe."
American Cruises and Charter of Tampa is offering a one-day, round-trip flight for the game for $389, but as of Tuesday interest was only fair.
"It's a good price, it's just getting our fans to have a little more confidence they'll be safe," said Kim King, who was taking reservations.
"They're not shying away, but they're very jokingly like, 'Do you carry life insurance policies?' "
Ticket brokers also cited other factors contributing to a light Tampa Bay contingent Sunday: Fans didn't know until Sunday afternoon the Bucs were even going, and airfare is expensive on short notice. Tours are tough to organize that quickly, too.
Most fans with the money and the inclination would rather to see if the Bucs make the Super Bowl in sunny San Diego. Then they'll go in droves, brokers said.
And while tickets to Sunday's game are available, they're expensive, typically starting at about $300. Bowles, 50, a Tampa lawyer, found them on eBay, the online auction house, starting at about $400 each, but she decided to keep her vow and avoid Philly.
"That's pretty pricey for a bad experience," she said.
And the next weekend, she's already booked on a flight to California.
-- Times researcher Cathy Wos contributed to this report.
I'm saddened that in recent years since the demise of the Vet (r.i.p.) and the infamous 700 level, the reputation we have had is being compromised.
And I guess I need to stay with this thread. This is Kjersti. She's a local, goes to school in Philly.
In a shocking display of violence not seen within the Raider Nation for maybe a few hours, five men were shot outside of the Oakland Coliseum before and after Sunday’s game against Kansas City. There would’ve been violence during halftime, but the line for nachos was too long.
Witnesses told police that several vehicles drove into the area where the shooting took place and stopped. Several men got out of one of the vehicles, yelled out a “gang name,” and at least one man, and possibly others, began shooting at the tailgaters, Andersen said. The suspects then fled in the vehicles, and witnesses did not get a description of the shooter or shooters or the vehicle.
