Trotter and the story of the Traitor

The second game of the 2002 season was a MNF down at FedEx Field in Washignton, DC. It was Trotter's first game against the Eagles. In addition to my nephew being born that night, and my brother vacillating between going to the game and being present at the birth of his first child, one of the more memorable sights that night (in addition to the whupping the Eagles laid on the Skins) was the Eagles fan walking into the stadium with his old #54 jersey. In masking tape he had taped over the "O" in Trotter and penciled in "AI." Sure it was spelled wrong, but we all got the unmistakable message. Trotter had become a "Traitter."
 
Welcome back, Jeremiah, to the town and the team you should have never left.
