And that may be the shame of it all. The old Veterans Stadium had the cheap seats known as the 700 level. That was where the lowest of the low tended to congregate and probably where Iggles fans got most of their bad reputation. A great majority of the Eagles fans I know are decent people who talk some good natured smack occasionally but would rebel at the thought of any type of behaviour such as in that post. Can you imagine how you would feel if we had that stigma attached to us as Cowboy fans? The horror.

Because we’ve owned you the last ten years. I used to hate Dallas…when you were good.

This is the 8,000,000th waste-of-time, no insight, hack post on how crappy Philadelphia fans are. Keep them coming, fellas!

If you did, you’d realize that we, as Eagles fans, were pretty upset about this as well. We’re pretty sick of the vocal minority earning the reputation for the rest of us.

Oh, and just to show you how evil us Eagles fans really are…a couple guys from BGN contacted that kid and bought him tickets for the Eagles Giants game at the Meadowlands.

We’re not all bad…

There are a**holes everywhere and the majority of Philly fans I have encountered over the last few years have actually improved my opinion overall. Granted, I hate your team and want to talk smack when we beat you but you could go to any stadium in America and find some dregs of humanity if you look for it.

Those aholes are a true representation of your typical Philly fan which is why I hate that city and the vast majority of it’s inhabitants so much, which by the way are lower than cockroaches on the evolutionary chain as far as I’m concerned.

If you go to any Cowboys game you will see how classy and well behaved all the fans are and they represent to the Cowboys and their organization on how spectators should act during a football game.

Philly=vile, classless scum…really no other way to put it.

But, if you read the comments, the bloggers are putting together something for that guy. Of course, SB bloggers are some of the smartest folks in the world when it comes to sports ;)

Still, many cross-bloggers like the Philly ones we get here do so just because they’re sports fans. One of my best friends is a ’Skins fan, a cousin of mine is an Eagles fan, and pretty much the rest of my fam are all Niners fans. We get along.

 It’s all fun and games, and I’d bet we could all watch this game together like a big BTB/BGN family without stepping as low as those jerkwods that poked fun of that kid’s wheelchair.

Just saying…the fact that some Eagles blogger posted that on BGN shows that some in that City of Brotherly love do have a heart, even for a Giants fans. Unfortunately, the bad apples at LFF will draw the ire of the media and the comparisons to the Black Hole at Oakland will remain.

How many sporting events have you been to in Philly?

For the 1-5% of you that actually have (because I know it isn’t more than that), what exactly did you see there that was so troubling?

As mentioned above by a few folks some of the good people over at BGN are in the process of getting the guy at the core of this story some tickets to a Giants game..

  Bravo, certainly commendable that there are people out there who are going above and beyond to show that this type of behavior is not typical nor acceptable. There are some great philly fans out there and its just a shame that a portion of the fanbase that is hellbent on being “the rowdiest fans in the NFL” gives good fans a bad name.

 Tip of the cap to the BGN folks…

Now..is it Sunday yet?

I am married to an Eagles fan. Some of my best friends are Eagles fans. I could care less what team someone roots for. What matters is what lives in the middle of their chest. Heart. Some people are good, some aren’t. The football team they root for doesnt have any effect on their personality.

I respect most Iggles fans because like most Cowboy fans, they actually know whats going on with their team. They know who’s been drafted, cut, starting, benched, what rumors are flying around and the rest of the useless knowledge we all pride oursilves on knowing.

The thing that makes a good person and football fan is the ability to be a homer, but an honest homer. Give credit where credit is due, and take criticism without taking it personally.

I personally HATE the Iggles. Not because of their fans, but because they have broken our hearts so much lately. We may own the overall lead in the series but the have pwned us this decade.

Lets leave the teams out of the d***bag conversation and call an a$$hole an a$$hole.

Lest we forget the Bounty Bowl.

If only our teams have half the passion we fans have on Sunday night, it will be a good one.

Green man is going down like in the Sunny episode a few weeks ago…..

- my best man is from reading and a longtime Eagles fan

- my bro-in-law lived near South street in Philly and is a diehard Eagles fan

- one of my buds (and his two college-aged sons) are hardcore Eagles fans

- two of my friends whose daughters play softball with my daughter are true Eagles fans

- one of my co-workers is a serious Eagles fan

- one of my lady friends grew up with her brothers and father a devoted Eagles fan

I can’t get away from them… but I can say this about each and every one of ’em.

They’re high character, totally classy individuals. For real.

I think that like every race and every political group — and the like… every team’s fans will have a certain sect of bad apples.

It’s not fair — and it’s not right — to stereotype.

The Eagles fans I know are way cool.

GO COWBOYS!

but this much animosity doesn’t seem right to me. I am a huge fan of the Cowboys and am from Texas, but I simply refuse to be so hostile towards a city just because they have some idiots that actually decide the stereotype of being really hostile (aka being a d-bag) towards other teams’ fans is a good thing and something that should be projected outwards. The bottom-line is that generalizing so much is not the way to go because frankly, many on here are basing their opinion on the stupid actions of a select few.

It is sad that so many on here are claiming to be on a moral high ground when compared with Philly fans and their city, but do so through hateful and uncalled for insults and slander. It just brings you down to the level you claim to hate so much.

like saying something online to a fanbase is in anyway comparable to picking on a handicapped guy in a wheelchair… is sheer stupidity.

to act like this is out of the realm of the possible, is sheer stupidity.

as much as I hate the Eagles …. I love this place during Eagles/Cowboys week …. always entertaining!

looked like Michael Irvin had broken his neck and was lying paralyzed on their field. I’ll never be able to let that go.

I’m with Bye Dawk, though. Story seemed too cliche to be sincere. Probably just some lame story somebody made up…or maybe Philly really is pissed because the Yankees won the World Series.

Either way, every teams crowd at the game is roughly 75% douchebags. The way football fans behave at games in general is pretty shameful. Real Sports had a special on just that a couple of years back. Good stuff.

I’m not reading all this crap, but every team has drunken idiot fans that pull this shit. Also, this is a completely unverified story.

I watched the game live on Direct TV, I was so pissed off. The crowd cheered for 10 minutes. MOST of the crowd. That, is dispicable. No if, ands or buts about it. Terrible sportsmanship, bad form and bad people period. I’ll never forget that, ever.
