NFL Trash Talk

10/12/2008: Update
Like clockwork - the anti-Eagles reader submits more pictures that you’d only see in Philly - and says “Starbucks would never stoop so low”…
C’mon - I’m a little miffed about that, as I prefer Dunkin’ Donuts over Starbucks any day.

See previous burns after the jump…
10/5/2008 Update:
Just in time for football Sunday, the “Eagles Fan hater in Philly” returns with another burn for the city of brotherly love.
Economy not bad in Philadelphia.. at least not at Costco
They say Dawkins’ nickname is “weapon X”, here is “weapon XXXL.”

9/30/2008 Update:
(Just returned from that parallel dimension)
Well that Philly resident keeps sending in pictures to Hoboken411 in order to keep this trash-talk thread going… this time without a message - just the title of the email “FW: Losers!”

Rest of the trash-talk after the jump. I’m still waiting for someone send me an email about a team they despise…
9/22/2008 Update:
I know we have a horde of Eagles fans in Hoboken - but get this: an anti-Philly fan - who actually lives in Philadelphia sent this picture to Hoboken411 along with a brief note about TastyKake Butterscotch Krimpets:
“Do Eagles fans really need to be any fatter?”

PS, if anyone wants to talk trash about any other team - just send it in, and I’ll post!
9/19/2008:
Sports rivalries can stir up emotions more than practically anything else (around here at least). Couple that with pride and alcohol, and the result can often end up being a senseless fight. Boston & New York, Philly & New York, Mets & Yankees all have crazy history behind them.
Personally, I find it a bit ridiculous, as most folks have never even played on those teams. It’s like punching each other over your favorite color.

I don’t want to start any fights, but one Hoboken411 reader, who’s a lifelong NY Giants fan INSISTED that I publish this list about “annoying Philadelphia Eagle fans,” from www.amiannoying.com. He also invited Philly fans to “show him what they got” and “dare to even try and talk smack about the Super Bowl champs!”
Meh.
Why Eagles fans are annoying
- They booed Santa Claus at a game.
- They cheered while Dallas WR Michael Irvin was lying motionless on the field with what turned out to be a career ending injury.
- Since many fans are rowdy at games, Veterans Stadium built a holding cell and courtroom beneath the stadium to deal with arrested fans immediately.
- Fans often shout insults at the opposing team’s bus as it arrives at the stadium.
- They booed the draft selection of QB Donovan McNabb. They now think he is one of the best QB’s in the league.
- They have a fight song called ‘Fly Eagles Fly.’
- When Washington Redskin unofficial mascot Chief Zee attended an Eagle home game at the Vet, the fans did not appreciate his taunting. They beat him badly enough that he suffered broken legs and they stripped him to his underwear (1983).
- In an effort to apologize, the Eagles invited him back the following year when he was accosted by an elderly female fan who threw a drink in his face and said “You’ve got a lot of nerve coming up here! We mugged the guy who dressed like that last year! (1984).”

It was fun to sing our fight song twice at the Stadium - just kind of stunk that it was twice in 10 minutes and no more. Sigh. I really don’t know what to say about the Eagles. They stunk it up on offense and defense today. Sigh.
At least my first love, the Phillies, have advanced. Unbelievable.

LOL @ ban wagon! The whole NFC East is upside down. I never saw Washington going into Dallas AND Philly and coming out with wins.

Before yesterday, in the past 8 years, Redskins went 14 and 2 (I think) against the Eagles. WOW.
I didn’t even get heckled in my Eagles gear walking home from parking the car. We suck so bad I didn’t get heckled. WOW!

maybe people are just used to seeing eagle fans walking around with their heads down.

Then you must be pretty young. They used to do it on a regular basis when the “younger” Gibbs was coaching. Though I am not sure they ever did it in back to back games.

Well it’s hard to be too depressed, I AM a Phillies fan. And I watched all of the Eagles’ disappointing games last year.
The problem with being a Philadelphia sports team fan is that when we suck, we suck for decades. It’s spirit crushing.

Poor wording on my part. I’ve seen Washington dominate in years past. I meant saw as in expected — I never expected this year’s Redskins team to win in Dallas and in Philly.

I never expected this year’s team to win more than 4 games all season. But sure is nice to see!

Picking on the Eagles this season is like picking on the fat kid- it’s just way too easy and sad. LOL
Go Birds!

The Eagles are far from done. I hate them with a passion, but they’re far from done.
