This is cool. Opposing culture in music and sports, with more similarities than you may think:
One time the Grateful Dead were in town, and the Eagles - the football team, not the band - had to walk through a bunch of tailgating Deadheads on the way to practice on the grass fields outside Veterans Stadium.
A few hours later, an offensive lineman named Bob Landsee stood in line at a South Philly sandwich shop behind a few laid-back fellows in tie-dyed T-shirts.
"Those guys need to get a life," Landsee reported later.
True story.
One time the Rolling Stones were in town, and somebody asked Eagles coach Dick Vermeil about the world's greatest rock-and-roll band.
Vermeil said he wasn't too familiar with Mick and Keith and the boys, but that his children "liked their magazine."
True story.
