T.O. Back in Philly this Sunday / this should be fun!!

[pearsall001]

The fans here in Philly are chomping at the bit waiting for Sunday. The sports radio talk shows here are going crazy, it's hilarious. The way we treated Santa & the Easter Bunny one year won't even come close to what's in store for T.O. Talk about a media frenzy, holy cow!!! But you have to give T.O. credit though, he sure know's how to keep the spotlight on himself. Till Sunday!!!

[Midnite Mick]

Yes he does know how to keep the spotlight on himself, such as a fake suicide scandal. He may need 24 hour security or he may not make the game.

Mike

[ND13]

We'll see

[mantis]

It should be a good one, wish I had tickets for this one.

Go E A G L E S !!!!!!!!!

[hearingimpared]

The funny thing is how much we've always hated the Cowboys . . . MAN OH MAN how much more do we hate them now with T.O. Dall ass sucks!

[swerve]

Michael Irvin round two... anybody?

[Shizelbs]

F drama. I just want to watch good sports.

[ND13]

Michael Irvin round two... anybody?

Hmmm...Michael Irving, 3 SB rings....T.O., 0(hopefully, for the Boys, he will catch up a bit in the ring department while in his short stay in Dallas). Irving was nowhere near the distraction that T.O. is and was a great teammate...just ask Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith. Admittedly, Irving did have his share of OFF FIELD/away from the locker room incidents, but it never seemed to affect the Boys. TO.'s are on-field and in the locker room incidents.

[criverajr]

T.O. was not the one vomiting at the end of the Super Bowl in which he played great for you guys. As long as Donovan McChoke is at the helm no Ring for you guys. I believe the Boys spanked that ass twice last year without T.O.:cool:

"You Guys" which part of Harry Heinz Blvd or Rt 635 in Dallas to you live in??? Oh that's right you live in New Jersey:o . . . what happend the Giants have a bad year somewhere?:eek: . . . go away band wagon jumper. You should listen to WIP and find out what real fans are like.

PS: You said twice: 21-20 does not a spanking make. Both loses were with an injured QB & and effd up TO. But let's see what happens Sunday before we start pounding our chests.

[ND13]

You don't have to live in the city of your favorite team to be a fan, that's just silly.:rolleyes:

[bobman1235]

It does make things easier though.... nothign worse than being a fan of one team amongst a bunch of fans of another.

[hearingimpared]

You don't have to live in the city of your favorite team to be a fan, that's just silly.:rolleyes:

No you don't! but it seems to me that these types of fans are band wagon jumpers. When the 49ers were on top they were with them, the Cowboys, they were with them, etc etc etc, Now I must admit that I have been a suffering Eagles fan since 1960 (the year they beat Vince Lomardi for the World Championship) and was five years olds. But I live here and as much as they have disappointed me I never once jumped ship and went to another team, the term is loyal die hard. I take pride in that. Over the years I have had second favorites but never jumped ship.

[ND13]

I grew up in Memphis, Tn and we didn't have a team in a convenient driving distance. I've been a Dallas fan for as long as I can remember and proudly wore my jersey every Sunday,even the year they went 1-15, so I wouldn't consider myself someone that jumped on any bandwagon. I also root for the Colts in the AFC, seeing that I live in close proximity and have been to over a dozen home games over the last few seasons. But if they were to meet in the SB, there'd be no doubt in who I'd be rooting for. It wouldn't really matter...Manning can't win the big game...never has and until he does, I'll say he probably never will.

Back on subject.....I'm no fan of T.O., but I have to deal with him for at least till the end of this season, most likely. So while he's there, I hope he will contribute and not distract from the team as much as he did in Philly.

[zombie boy 2000]

Until you've been a lifelong fan of any Atlanta team, you can never know:p

I've been thinking of heading up that way to catch a game... since all the Bengals games are sold out.

I wouldn't call you a "band wagon jumper." It seems to me you are a "loyal die hard."

We in Philly are very sensitive due to the incredible and consistant disappointment we've endured for sooooo long, so don't take my "band wagon jumper" label personally that is the way we view people who live here and root for Dallas. They jumped ship to go with a team whose had a great record over the years . . . but not lately.

[Strong Bad]

Being from Baltimore, you Eagles are near the bottom of my list. This Sunday, for one day, you'll be at the top as I hope and pray that someone takes out that jerkoff T.O.!

I wouldn't doubt for one moment that TO and McNab called each other and created some sort of "Bad Blood Feud" to leak to the press so the press coverage and TV ratings would be off the charts.

The press eats it up and falls for it every time.

It's funny you say the Baltimore / Eagles thing. I always loved the Colts with Johnny U. Boy, I never forgave Joe Nameth for that Super Bowl. However when they snuck the Colts out of Baltimore in the middle of the night to Indy. . . I was appalled (sp). If that can happen there it can happen here and as bad as the Eagles have been over the last 46 years (I'm 51) I still wouldn't want to loose them. I can't get the feeling for the Ravens that I had for the B. Colts.

I don't think Donavan would do that with T.O. . . .Andy Reid hates that stuff and he has a pretty tight reign on Donavan.

[George Grand]

The city of Filthadelphia deserves their football team, and their fans. Nothing like having to have a judge and courtroom RIGHT INSIDE THE STADIUM to process the rowdies. Let's throw d-cell batteries at Santa Claus! Nice touch. What a shithole.

[ND13]

Tell it like it is, G.G.

[RuSsMaN]

It is a shithole, and I hope Dallas stomps Philly in short order.

[Libertyc]

I have tickets for Sunday's game:D .
There is no judge and courtroom inside the new stadium. That was in the old Vet stadium which was closed in 2003. The Vet was very rowdy, usually a fight every game in my section with guys rolling down 3 rows of seats.
The New statium is much nicer and way less rowdy than the Vet...you can almost bring your family there.

[Libertyc]

I'm dressing up as a doctor for this Sunday's game.

[bobman1235]

I was at the Linc for their first football game - it was a preseason, so not their "official" first game, but still. Really nice stadium. Can't say much for the fans though .... :)

Spoken like a true NY sorry NJ Giant fan. . . yeah the meadow lands (garbags scowels and seagulls) are a great place to hail from. Get your facts straight the batteries were a diffent city there George.

However Filthadelphia is a fitting description I won't deny that. That's why I'm moving to Delaware. . . I'll still be a die hard Eagles fan.

[Libertyc]

I don't know Joe, but I kinda remember a little bit of the snowball-and-battery launchings, and Santa abuse.
But that was after a long tailgate...:cool:

[Libertyc]

Oh yea...almost forgot.

There is a new T.O. chant.

O.D....O.D..O.D..O.D..O.D...

[George Grand]

I have no favorite team there, so I don't speak like a true sorry any type of fan. I always get my facts straight, and the batteries were Filthadelphia, America's armpit.

I would root for ANY team that was playing against the Eagles, to include one made up of child molesters, third world dictators, and Al-Qaeda guys. There's just something about a bunch of loser Cro-Mags from a losing city.............LOSING.

GARBAGE SCOWS and seagulls. Garbags scowels and seagulls is a Filthadelphiaism I would imagine.

Wow George!! You sure do have an axe to grind there. Whatever happened to you in Philly that can make you turn so rabbid??? Philly's just fine, no better or worse than any other big city. Maybe those toxic waste dump fumes over here in Jersey are getting to you. Bottom line is that Philly fans are just stone cold loyal all the way. Through thick & thin they perservere. Hopefully It'll be a good game & won't be over shadowed by all the T.O. B.S.

Hey Bill, the snowball thing with Santa (he was a very skinny scrawny Santa at that, the guy they hired to play Santa couldn’t make it) occurred in the 60s, I seem to remember the battery thing occurring in Denver or during one of the baseball rivalries. I think because of our rep we get the rap for that one. Boy I didn’t think people felt so harshly towards us like GG does. I love when Giant’s, Met’s, Jet’s, Redskin’s & Ravin’s fans come into town it makes for much more interesting games. The Dallas fan just cause agidda.

I had season tickets in section 752 in Vet (dead center goal posts) for years and there were some savage beasts up there. There was always fights and stuff flying. I remeber one time a guy threw a San Fran fan down 11 rows of full seats. It could get pretty ugly up there.

[Libertyc]

Joe,

Didn't the fans throw ice at Jimmy Johnson and the Dallas bench? I remember this because it caused the half-time beer sales cut off :( .
I'm not sure if I was at that game...thinking 15 years ago? I'll be in South Philly Sunday around 12 noon - want me to bring the R15s?

Bill

[Demiurge]

I kind of hope Dallas gives the Eagles a pounding they'll never forget. I despise T.O., but Iggles fans deserve T.O's schvank in their mouths.

[Libertyc]

Hey,
Us Iggles fan had enough of T.O. He's Dallas problem now.
I think Sunday is going to be a long and loud night. Fans will be in extra rare form.
Bill

[Demiurge]

A good friend of my brothers since high school, Joe Panos, used to play for the Eagles. The stories I have heard about the effin' fans there, unbelievable. He still talks about it. I know they're loyal to the Eagles as a franchise only and all, but class isn't a valid description of how they display it.

Yeah they walloped Jimmy, it actually messed up his hair. You are correct about the that incident (the straw that broke the camels back) causing the beer sales to stop during the second quarter. The problem there was everyone was three sheets to wind before they walked into the Vet plus all the booze hidden in parkas. I haven't been to the Linc yet is it still easy to get the hootch in?

Sunday at noon would be great Bill. Do you want to meet here? You have a PM.

Thanks a million,
Joe

[Libertyc]

No more sneaking beer in the stadium. Everyone used to hide a beer in each sock. Hell - sneak 2 beers in it saves you about $15! Plus like you said everybody is usually drunk when they walk/stagger in the stadium.

p.s. - i can meet Sunday just make it around 11:00 am because of traffic.

[George Grand]

Yeah, I got a small axe to grind with the worst city in this country. Shittiest airport, no services, dumbest AND ugliest people in the U.S., The "Main Line" which is full of people thinking that Grace Kelly was the greatest thing that ever happened to the world and have been trying to look like her forever, somebody stop me. Other cities DESIGNATE areas to be used as dumps, as opposed to Filthy's totally freestyle concept. Mayor John Street. I can't stop. Sharif Street, the mayors Rastafarian looking rabble rouser son.

The guy they just made the movie about, Vince Papele or whatever the hell his name is, somehow or another got on a refueling mission with me in the early 80's.

Pearsall001, I've been traveling the world for 30 years. Filthy is far from world class, but you'd never know it if you listen to the dunderheads that reside there.

[KrazyMofo24]

I love all three Dallas teams, Rangers, mavs, and cowboys. The Eagles look to be our only competition this year..unless the giants get it turned around. I expect the cowboys to beat the eagles and take control of the East. Cowboys have a great D as always...now with T.O. offense is GREAT.

[RuSsMaN]

IMO, what it comes down to is Dallas offensive lines ability to protect against a 7 man front, and give the passing game time to exploit the Eagles battered secondary.

Sure, the Eagles have a lot of sacks, but they have also given up a lot of passing yards.

I'm just sick of all the hoopla honestly, I wish someone would just say 'play ball'.

My pick, 28-17 Dallas.

[hearingimpared]

The worse part of all the hoopla is that TO's ego absolutelty adores attention and my fellow Eagles fans are going to defeat themselves by booing and heckling him all of which in TO's goofy head will be taken as applause and praise.

31 -24 Eagles

[zombie boy 2000]

I've never met a Philly fan that didn't simultaneously exude unparalleled loyalty toward their team and "goon-like" qualities toward others....

[bobman1235]

Unparallelled loyalty? They boo their own team more than any fan base I've ever seen! Every time the Eagles mess up they're instantly booed by THEIR OWN FANS!

Dont' know what kind of loyalty that is.

McNabb's ego isn't too far off T.O.'s.

But with that said, if you're a professional athlete, you need to have a strong ego. And there is a major difference in exuding confidence and being concieted.

[zombie boy 2000]

touche....:D

I figured I might as well try to say something nice.....

[pearsall001]

I'm dressing up as a doctor for this Sunday's game.
Make like a proctologist,:eek: because that's where T.O.'s gonna be hurting!!!
Philly's got the best sports fan's period!! It you don't perform up to your ability you get booed big time & we don't care who you are. Other folks just can't fathom the passion we have here for our teams. I'm just hoping for a great game & that the T.O. saga ends as soon as he catches his first pass & either Trotter or Dawkins smach him senseless. Oh boy it's gonna be nasty alright!!! Hey Libertyc, where in Levittown do you live, I lived in the Stonybrook section for over 20 yrs. Some of my family still lives in Dogwood. It's a small world isn't it.

[George Grand]

From the editorial page of today's Filthadelphia Inquirer, the most widely circulated paper in the city. It addresses the fans, and their behavior. I will post VERBATIM, the good parts:

"Have fun. Cheer yourself hoarse to lift the boys in green. Boo yourself hoarse to make it clear to one T.O. that you resent how his unending selfishness blew up your Eagles previous season.
BUT keep this in mind: The nation's media will be watching this one, just dying for Filthadelphia fans to live down to their cliched rep.
Yep, that tired (but true) rap about snowballs at Santa, batteries at J.D.Drew, and cheering Michael Irvin's injury. Let's kill the cliche. Let's not give it new reason to arise.
There's a line between raucous fun and nasty boorishness; chugging brewskis all day seems to muddy some fans' grasp of where it sits.
SO, a few sober reminders: Boos are on the right side of the line; throwing hard objects on the field is on the wrong side. Funny signs are okay; lewd and crude messages aren't. Hooting at well-paid athletes who wear the Cowboys star is fine; MOCKING, HARASSING, AND JOSTLING 10-YEAR-OLD KIDS WHO DARE TO WEAR A DALLAS JERSEY IS NOT."


They don't even address the iceballs at the Dallas bench that you mentioned.

Case rested, go Dallas.

[Libertyc]

Stonybrook?? I grew up in the Kenwood section and now live in Farmbrook. I went to HST HS class of '84. You lived 1/2 mile from me if that. Yes, it's a very small world .

[Libertyc]

Make like a proctologist, because that's where T.O.'s gonna be hurting!!!

Hell yea...T.O. is going to get his ass kicked. I hope they put him in a freaking body bag. He will need a doc if he overdoses again. He's a crack-pot... give him a fucking straight jacket. Fuck T.O. and Fuck Dallas :rolleyes: .

[RuSsMaN]

Put him in a body bag, and let Terry Glenn put a few sixes on the board.

You need a secondary broham, plain and simple.

Fuck Dallas? I'll take my town, my eateries, my women over yours anyday of the week.

Horrible finish to the game...if only Bledsoe threw it away...and gone to 3rd down.

[pearsall001]

That was one hell of a game!!!! Even Dallas fans can hold their heads up after that one. Even a non Eagle/Cowboy fan had to enjoy that one. It kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Let me tell you I was about to call 911 at the end there until we made that interseption. All in all Philly really showed what a class town it really is. Everyone was waiting for a disaster to happen but it just never did. Not much for the media to talk about tomorrow except what a great game it was. Outsiders will never, never understand the passion Philly has for their teams. By far the best in the U.S. PERIOD!!!!!

Yo Krazy, it was a horrible finish only if you are a Dallas fan.

Bledsoe shot his mouth off too much about "if you're going to blitz, bring it on."

I don't rub salt in wounds, I learned that long long ago as the Cowboys through the 60s to the 80s used to eat the Eagles for Sunday breakfast and spit them out after lunch and I had local Dallas fans rubbing salt harshly.
