FanHouse SnakesOnAPlane

This season, FanHouse writers take their cameras to NFL stadiums to document what happens when you stop being polite and start getting real. Or something. We've cleverly titled it "FanHouse in the Stands."

Today I will talk about the random weird stuff you can see while tailgating. For example, before Sunday's Texans-Bengal game, I saw a dude wandering about the tailgates with a live snake and the first fan I've ever seen wearing a legitimate Sage Rosenfels jersey.

I'm not sure which is more strange.

So I made a movie documenting this called "Snake on a Fan." It includes celeb sightings and features a special homage to Mittens. No Rosenchappas were harmed in the making of this film. (Though to be fair, I will state that I like backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels a lot, though just not as a replacement to Matt Schaub).

Snake dude would not agree to a camera interview unless I was in the video with him. I do not like being in videos at all, but I guess it was a sacrifice I had to make for fact-finding. I like snakes significantly less than Samuel L. Jackson, which means not at all. As you can see in my film ....

Proving that no cultural phenomenon is too overdone for the University of Southern California's Trojan Marching Band to exploit, this year's pop-culture song added to the Spirit of Troy repertoire is Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)".

While most USC opponents complain that the USC band only plays one song, they in fact add at least one pop song each year to their playlist--with everything from Ricky Martin to Gwen Stefani.

The move may be a good omen for Cobra Starship, too. USC and Fleetwood Mac made "Tusk" the only college marching band to win a Grammy Award.
