Hundreds of fans flocked to a Forman Mills store in Northeast Philadelphia on Tuesday night, where Eagles' quarterback Jeff Garcia held an autograph-signing session.
Garcia is a huge draw to Eagles fans, including one who said:
"There's a huge line and everything! I've never seen so many people."
But the line was so long it had to be cut off, leaving some fans disappointed:
"Because he left!"
(Kuznits:) "And you didn't get an autograph."
"No."
(Kuznits:) "You still like him even though you didn't get to see him?"
"Yeah."
You had to get there early if you wanted to see Jeff Garcia:
(Kuznits:) "How long did you wait in line to see him?"
"Four and a half hours."
(Kuznits:) "Was it worth it?"
"Yeah."
So why do they like him?
"You know, he's a true Philly kind of guy."
(Kuznits:) "Tell us why you really like him."
"Now, you know, my husband's out there waiting."
"He's a very handsome fellow, I must say."
"I think he can really run fast."
(Kuznits:) "Who do you like better, Garcia or McNabb?"
"I'm not going to pick and choose. They're both great players. It's a team. I love the team!"
