Football season is in full effect, and we all know what that means: Tailgates.
Like no other sport, football manages to attract tailgaters like flies, starting parties on college campuses and stadium parking lots across the country. After all, when a beer costs $8 in the average NFL stadium, what better way is there to get a party started than with a tailgate? There's no better way to get ready for a game than with a six-pack, good food, and good people.
Unfortunately, given the crowd that football can attract, you're more than likely to run into a few annoying characters who completely kill your buzz. Whether they're too drunk, too hype, too bro-ish, or too lame, the douches you'll find at any football tailgate—whether in college or the NFL—run a wide range.
To give you a visual idea of exactly what we're talking about, we've compiled our very own Field Guide to Tailgating Douchebags. Come game day carry this around with you to help navigate the jungle of overbearing tools, and see just how many of these types you can find.
