Drunk Eli

I grew up the fifth of eight kids in Los Angeles. As a kid, I had absolutely no interest in sports. When I was 14 years old, my brother gave me a purple football jersey for Christmas. He had the number 88 hot stamped on it. That's before you could get NFL jerseys, it was just a ten dollar item from J.J. Newberry's. Any way, this kid I used to fight with all the time told me that I looked stupid in my Vikings jersey. We fought, and at that moment I became a Vikings fan and never looked back. The only thing I've been longer than a Minnesota Vikings fan...is alive !!!!!!! In 1980 my dad said to me: "that kid, Magic Johnson of the Lakers is a really good player!" I never even knew my dad liked sports. So, I watched basketball (for the first time ever) with my dad. Just so happens, they won it all that year. How could I not get hooked? This is why...I bleed purple!
