Reason #47 To Love Philadelphia: Jeff Garcia And Carmella DeCesare

You might think, now that the season’s over, that, ah, Jeff Garcia mania might be over. But, no, of course not. Not when there are promotions to be done!

On Saturday at the Atlantic City Hilton, fans will get a chance to meet Jeff Garcia and his fiance, Carmella DeCesare. But there’s a catch: You can’t just walk up there, wait in line and then get autographs from the Birds’ QB and the 2004 Playboy Playmate of the Year (who is 24, by the way).

No: Every 30 minutes between 2 and 7 on Saturday, organizers will select one lucky table or slots gambler to attend a reception with Garcia and DeCesare that night. That’s right: You have to gamble for five hours and probably lose a few hundred dollars, and if you do that, you might have a chance to attend a reception where you can get a photo with Garcia and DeCesare.

Who wants to bet they’ll have a packed house?
