Detroit4Lyfe.com - Eric Matecun, a 12-year-old from Wixom, MI, will end a 4-year streak of wearing a Pistons jersey to school every day. He rotated through at least 9 different jerseys, none of which involved Allen Iverson (thankfully). His mom kept the number of consecutive days, 1,460 when the streak ends on Wednesday, on a calendar. Even throughout this year's struggle of a season, Matecun has kept his head up. "Say those things when they're winning the championship again,” he said when asked about what other kids say about the team this year. If this kid isn't the biggest fan you know, then I'd like to meet someone who is.
I was cruising Detroit4lyfe the other day and saw this story about Eric Matecun, a 12 year old kid who wore a Pistons jersey for 4 straight years and all I kept thinking to myself was la-di-frickin-da Eric. Big fuckin deal. This kid wears the same clothes for 4 straight years and all of a sudden he's a god damn hero or something. Makes zero sense. I've been wearing my U of M club hockey sweatpants everyday for 5 plus years and all the Lady Friend ever does is bitch at me about it. They are the first thing I put on every morning, I teach PE in them all week, and on the weekends I usually wear them with a tank top or something. Most comfortable shit ever. But do I ever get a pep-rally in my honor? No. Do I get stories in the local paper or on smutty sports blogs? Sure don't. Total crock of shit if you ask me.
But the biggest sham about this whole thing is the fact that he wore 9 different jerseys during the four years. Give me a fuckin break. That ain't hard. It's basically my life. Was out at the bar the other day and someone I'd only met a few times asked me if jersey was my favorite material to wear. I thought it was kind of a smart ass comment until I realized I was 3 for 3 in jersey appearances with this dude, so I guess it was a legit question. Either way, Eric you suck and are a loser who probably bought a Charlie Villanueva jersey the day Joe D sunk our franchise by signing that asshat. If you wanna be considered a real fan take a note or two about how it's done from my boy David W. here...
Greendaily.com - David Witthoft -- an 11-year-old boy has worn the same Green Bay Packers jersey every day for four straight years. That's almost 1500 consecutive days of the same shirt. Holy crap! Apparently the little superfan was given the gift as Christmas present back in 2003, and loved it so much that he's worn it every single day since then. Finally, last weekend, this obsessive compulsive football fanatic budding environmentalist saw the Packers win 34-13 over the Detroit Lions, and afterward admitting that he may stop wearing the shirt quite as often in 2008.
This Packer fan wore the exact same jersey everyday for 4 years. Non of this pussy switching jerseys shit that Eric was pulling. He wasn't jumping from Mark Chumura to Sterling Sharpe to Edgar Bennett. Nope, just the same old, worn out, smelly, stained Brett Favre jersey day in and day out. That's commitment.
PS - I'm pretty sure a kid I went to Catholic school with has this record demolished. Dude wore a Boomer Esiason jersey absolutely ever day for roughly 8 years. But that was back in the day when they didn't keep official stats for stuff like this.
