Fellow Skin fans...I have met the lowest form of Eagles fan possible.

[kiingspadee]

So I work at a grocery store and there is a new guy who is an Eagle fan. He talks quite a bit and talks about how bad McNabb is. I ask him if he would've won all those games and been to all those playoffs without McNabb and he said yes because McNabb is garbage.

He proceeded to ask me where are we at in January while they are in the playoffs every year - I said we are at home yes, but in February we both are at home but biggest difference is we are shining up our three Lombardi's. He was like it don't matter Kolb is going to win us the Super Bowl this year since he is light years ahead of McNabb (which I proceeded to put a 50 dollar bet down saying that Kolb must WIN THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR) anyways it does get a lot worse.

I told him how Eagles fans have no class and no respect and well the fact that someone who has won and brought some sort of glory to your franchise and you just throw him out like he is nothing. He said we are some of the classiest fans around. I ask him if he knows who Chief Zee is. He asks "that's the guy who is in the HOF for you guys?" I said yes a Super Fan. He said what about him. I proceeded to tell him the story of him getting beat up and he laughed and said well he should not had been in Philly. I said wow that is pretty low. So the fact that some punks beat up a man because he loves and lives for the Redskins you laugh and condone it?

He says yes I mean he should not be in Philly. You in Philly repping the Skins well you deserve to get what comes to you. I flipped the script on him and said what if say your grandfather is a die hard Philly fan and is in DC and gets killed for being an Eagle fan would that be OK? He said no that'd be wrong. I ask what's the difference he just said because it is.

He said all I gotta say is don't go to Philly. I just looked at him and said look all bs aside I really have no respect for you. He was like why Zee got what was coming to him coming to Philly and is lucky it was not worse. I said and this is why you guys will never and should never win a Super Bowl. You guys are undeserving and are the biggest scum on the planet and would rather talk to a Dallas fan over an Eagle fan any day of the week because hell at least Dallas can say they have won something.

I think it took a lot out of me not to deck this kid

[Taiwan32]

Well pass along his information and I'll do it for you...

[Ryman of the North]

I will be sure to wear my Charles Mann jersey later this year when I go to Philly.

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

When I finally get a chance to go to a game in philly, you know I'll be wearing my Skins gear!!

[ConnSKINS26]

What a douche. But are you surprised?

[kiingspadee]

What a douche. But are you surprised?

Not that I am surprised but to just basically have no compassion towards other human beings is just shocking

[Boxer9]

This is something I read from a low life giant fan.

This was from a Giant fan talking about the death of Chris Henry.

I wouldn't even waste my breath on the guy any longer... tell him he's not worth it, so you won't talk football with him any longer. Then tell him IF he does, you'll report him to the boss for harassment ;)

[superozman]

being from Philly, he definitely got under your skin, and those were his intentions. Thats all it is, talk. Just to piss you off.

Thats how iggle fans are. Just gotta either put up with it or walk away.

[HailGreen28]

Thats how iggle fans are. Just gotta either put up with it or walk away.OK, the right thing for him to do would be try to get along with him. Ignore him acting out, And try to lead by example as a mature adult.

But just for fun, what if he started always bringing up "three Superbowls to none" anytime football comes up? And always trying to work the number "3" or trio or trifecta in any conversation involving him? :evilg::evilg::evilg: Example: "Oh look, it's THREE minutes past 1!"

(yes I'm being very childish)

[MarkB452]

I work with an Eagles fan and he recdently said he hopes McNabb wins a SuperBowl before he retires. I said even with Washington or even with Dallas? ..and he said yes to both.

Anyways, not all Iggles fans are d'bags, just most of them. :)

BTW, he wants to go to Redskins training camp and see if he can get McNabb to sign a vintage Eagles helmet for him.

[HailRiggoRanger]

Dude, you're making the mistake of believing that this guy has the same values as you, same compassion, same ability to value other human beings. That's your mistake; he simply has different values and a different take on the world.

What you have with the Philly fan base is a mob mentality, where behavior turns extreme as each one tries to outdo the other one. They see the team as extension of themselves, and a team loss or a Redskin fan in their midst is a direct threat to them. Ton of research on it (social capital theory).

With this guy, you should ignore him and carry on with your life. Nothing good can come out of it.

Am friends with several good and decent Iggles fans. They acknowledge the scumbag reputation of their fan base and are embarrassed by it (i.e., they hold the same values as you and me). They cheer for the team in spite of their fellow fans, nothing wrong with that.

[fullnelson9999]

The Cowboys used to be the team I hated the most. Then I started to go to school in Pennsylvania.

They really are complete garbage. Theres not a person I hate more than an Eagle fan.

[superozman]

Me too. I even take the redskins seat covers and rearview mirror logo hangy thing down when i park in the parking lots for phils and flyers games!

[CowboysSaintsFan]

When McNabb was an Eagle, I'm sure this guy said how he was the greatest QB ever in the franchise on and on.

It's amazing how people can change their minds in a span of a few miliseconds.

IMHO, I think McNabb should do well in DC - everyone keeps overlooking that the Eagles backup C Nick Cole was the goat of those 2 losses to us at the end of the year. Jamaal Jackson got hurt, and it was as if Cole was put in a crash course out of the blue. He was badsnapping the ball all over the place, I guess he had so many other things to concentrate on that he wasn't familiar with. At least Cole now has had an entire offseason to work with Kevin Kolb.

[superozman]

When McNabb was an Eagle, I'm sure this guy said how he was the greatest QB ever in the franchise on and on.


Highly doubt it. Just from the description, he most likely was the "GET RID OF MCNABB AND REID" group. 10s of thousands in that group.

They grew tired of McNabb.

[skinsfan1523]

sounds like a normal eagle fan to me....

[cocojoey]

what do you expect a guy from philly philly fans are garbage

[cocojoey]

Highly doubt it. Just from the description, he most likely was the "GET RID OF MCNABB AND REID" group. 10s of thousands in that group.

i 2nd that theses philly fans are ******* they havent won nothing they dont have any SB trophies oh and when mcnabb kicks there asses too

[honejc]

philly fans suck and the cowboys swallow

but keep in mind you must separate the person from the fan.

[ConnSKINS26]

but keep in mind you must separate the person from the fan.

With Eagles fans you generally don't need to.

[Zazzaro703]

METHINKS you might have to grow thicker skin. My friends dad got pissed on in the upper decks of the VET about 20 years ago. We laugh at that story to this day. Am I saying what happened to Chief Zee is in any way sane... No. I'm just saying the guy is probably just mouthing off trying to get a rise outta you and it worked.

[Devastate]

Get buddy buddy with him, and invite him to a eagles at skins game.. Give me the row and seat he's in.. I'll make sure he gets what he deserves.. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen the inside of the cells

[RM52]

i love it when eagles fans say "your not a real fan, you hated mcnabb for all those years, and now you root for him." c'mon man...of course im not gonna root for the qb of a division rival, but when we get a probowl qb on our roster, you think im not gonna root for him? im rooting for him now as a skin, not what for he did as an eagle. im used to it by now though, theres nothing but eagles fans around here!

[dockeryfan]

being from Philly, he definitely got under your skin, and those were his intentions. Thats all it is, talk. Just to piss you off.

Thats how iggle fans are. Just gotta either put up with it or walk away.

Agree. Did you never learn to talk smack? You're gonna let this guy get under your skin?

[dockeryfan]

I mean think about it. This guy is making fun of the Redskins because of McNabb. A perennial pro bowler who is the best QB in the entire team's history.

That's a new kind of retarded. But here's the kicker. It worked on you. I think my brain is going to explode.

[SWFLSkins]

I agree you need to step up your game with this guy. I think the 3 idea one poster had would work great, easy and cheap to work. I would post pictures in obvious places where this guy would find them. And yeah the little verbage shot would kill him eventually. That is if your cool about it and laugh at him and walk away when he wants to banter.

---Oh sorry gotta run I've got three things to do.

---Look there is three trucks scheduled to deliver today at three.

---Yeah Philly fans aren't bad only three guys were booing McNabb when he was drafted and the media blew it up.

---Did you hear the news? McNabb is changing his number to 3.

You get the idea?

[Highway66]

I will be sure to wear my Charles Mann jersey later this year when I go to Philly.


Bad idea!!!

I go to philly every year for the skins game... All I can say is dont do it!! This is not a game or a joke it is a matter of personal safety.. You can be sitting there in the stadium and suddenly a half full bottle of beer bounces off your noggin...

I wont say dont go to philly because I do...just wear nuetral clothing... you will have fun and wont get caught up in some dumb $hit with idiotic philly fans..

[RWJ]

Ah yes, Philadelphia the city of brotherly love. Not!

[Forever21]

Wow. I've known some Philly fans in my time. But they're Canadian Philly fans so they don't act like that. Philly fans deserve nothing but humiliation and lets hope this Kolb change brings them plenty of it.

[superozman]

Sorry if something happened to you. I do it every year and it's not bad, if you can ignore smack talk.

If you want, do what i do. Plan to get there when the gates open. If you are early, no biggie, most people that you need to worry about will be tailgating. So go into the area aroudn the stadium. They have food and beer vendors there, just hang there.

When they open, walk around check otu the stadium, there will be very few people here. Then go to your seat - watch warm ups, get something to eat.

Don't go to the bathroom during halftime

When the game is over, let it clear out a bit, then walk to your car. Expect a lot of mouthing off. IGNORE it. Don't be an idiot and talk back. If the Redskins win, it's ALWAYS a lot quieter. If the Eagles win. Be prepared to hear it.

[RiggosMohawk]

I will be sure to wear my Charles Mann jersey later this year when I go to Philly.

This is a bad idea if your seats are in the upper deck of the Linc. You'll be ok in the lower level, but def get in the stadium early and let the crowd thin out before you leave.

[aamiha73]

My brother in law is an eagles fan along with most folks in my family. But he's a good guy and he and I get along well even during the football season. He's one of the exceptions to the Eagle-fans-are-all-d-bags rule. Anyhow, he has season tickets. He told me he was once following some cowboy fans into the stadium through the parking lot in Philly. The guy was wearing a leather cowboys jacket with the blue star on the back and everything. A few eagles fans came up behind the cowboy fans, squirted lighter fluid on this guys back and lit his leather dallas jacket on fire. Of course the cowboy fan threw off his jacket but seriously. That's acceptable? Lighting your opponent's fans on fire? Maybe I'm old fashioned but that' just not how I was raised. F the eagles AND their fans. They are too brash for never having won anything. Too much swagger for having no trophies.

[mossomo]

He said all I gotta say is don't go to Philly... He was like why Zee got what was coming to him coming

The Vet had a magistrate staffed for games and a cell block for a reason.

The 215 - having lived there for 5 years, I can say philly kids are a bunch of miseable ****s.

[illone]

Don't even let him get to you.

Best thing to do is never let this guy see you sweat. He can say whatever he wants, but do NOT let it get to you. It's just words, stop taking it so personal.

Eagles fans are trash, you know it, even he knows it. Leave it at that.

If anything make fun of the Skins on your own terms, that way he KNOWS his words mean nothing. The best defense is a good offense in this case so just let him ramble, and maybe wear a shirt one day that has a BIG picture of a Lombardi trophy. When you walk by him show him the pic so he can see what it looks like.

Or better yet get a shirt printed that has a picture of an empty trophy case.

[jflow78]

kiing, I totally agree. Eagles fans are the worst people to talk to, it seems most of them forgot how suckish they were and how their franchise was kind of lost until McNabb and Reid got there.

I really hope they tank it, even more than Dallas this year, or maybe they could tie for the worst record in the league this season, tie both games they play each other.

You're definitely getting $50 bucks, and is this idiot taking more bets? If so I've come into some money. Too bad I'd trust a Dallas fan before I'd trust an Eagles fan anyday.....something about a hive of scum and villany....or something.

EDIT:
Of course, after we beat them twice this year you COULD come in and then say everything he said, "Man, that McNabb, THAT guys is AWFUL! What a loser! But no worries for you man, YOU have Kolb! Phew, thank goodness for that! Long live Kolb, hope he signs for life cause HE'S the real deal!"

I was a huge Jordan fan as a kid and these Jazz fans were harassing me during Game 5 of the Finals the first time they met. Every time Pippen missed a layup they'd say, "Scottie Pippen misses LAYUPS!?!" So, I was quiet for the entire game just smiling and ignoring it. At the end John Stockton had to make his first FT, and miss the second for the Jazz to have a chance, he missed the first and I said, "John Stockton misses FTs!?! That's the easiest shot in the game! Well, at least he's going to the HoF, at least he's got THAT on Jordon."

They were livid, I walked out smiling. The funny part is, I was INVITED for dinner and the game. I know I won the trash talking because I was NEVER invited over again. :rotflmao

[addicted]

Tell him to eat a big fat bag of d***s for me. My boss is an Eagles fan and we get along great, living in Dallas rooting for other teams might do that to you I guess. But still he's awesome, not all Eagles fans are bad people. It's just the bad fans for the Eagles are the absolute worse fans in the entire NFL and knocking one out would be a pleasure. Good job holding your temper

[Jeff in D.C.]

Typical Iggles fans, no different than delusional classless Cowturd fans. Most of the Giants fans I've met are fairly nice but Iggle & Cowturd fans are the worst.

[RichmondRedskin88]

Don't worry when Skins kick the Eagles ass twice this year you can rub it in the douchebags face.

[JOETHEFAN]

Your first problem was that you engaged him. I don't have any conversations with Philly fans because they haven't won anything. And I make sure they are aware of why I don't talk football with them.

[SonOfWashington]

This is something I read from a low life giant fan.

...all of my rage........

[fuse]

funny. all of my friends who are eagles fans are very down on philly because of their loyalty towards mcnabb. some of them even said they would sort of pull for the skins this year.

[Symbol]

You've made a bet with an Eagles fan, who's not only a moron but an admitted Eagles fan, and you trust that he'll pay up when the Eagles' choke?

[brdawk20]

I work with an Eagles fan and he recdently said he hopes McNabb wins a SuperBowl before he retires. I said even with Washington or even with Dallas? ..and he said yes to both.



It wouldn't bother me if McNabb won one with you guys. He is the best QB in our history, and deserves the recognition. Dallas? No way, geez, it's Dallas. I hope they never win another SB.

[aussieskin]

Sometimes you just have to walk away from some people, and this person is one of them.

[lzeis24]

Going to a Skins-Eagles game in Philly is not THAT bad. I haven't been to games at the Link, but the Vet still wasn't all that it is cracked up to be. I was wearing my LaVar jersey at the time and got some crap...but not too bad. Redskin fans need to stop believing all we hear and still make it up to Philly-Skins games.

[RichmondRedskin88]

It wouldn't bother me if McNabb won one with you guys. He is the best QB in our history, and deserves the recognition. Dallas? No way, geez, it's Dallas. I hope they never win another SB.

or another game.

oh two words. 700 level

[Section123OnSundays]

please deck the kid

[Riggins77]

I know a few Eagles fans here in Charlotte and all of them are good people. Only one of them is actually from Philly and his father still lives there. The only thing he ever said that fits the "Iggle Fan Image" was after the Panthers/Eagles NFC Championship game. A female Panthers fan was on the news talking about what happened to her after the game. She got on a bus to get to her car and get the hell out of Philly and a man punched her in the face for having a Panthers jersey on.

His reply to this was, "She probably ran her mouth and said something to deserve it." I was like dude, a man punched a woman in the face and he just smirked.

I'm pretty sure most of them just want to get a rise out of people and don't really mean what they say. They like to rile people up. I know there are some real *******s there though.

[HailGreen28]

His reply to this was, "She probably ran her mouth and said something to deserve it." I was like dude, a man punched a woman in the face and he just smirked.:wtf:

I wouldn't want to be friends with someone like that.

[Riggins77]

:wtf:

I wouldn't want to be friends with someone like that. I've known the guy for about 8 years and never heard him say anything bad except for this. I would use the term friend loosely, we don't hang out or anything, just talk football on occasion. Just a work friend. His wife, is sweet as she can be, used to work with me. He's really not a bad guy, which is why I think most Philly fans say **** like this to get a rise out of people.

Same situation I have with a co-worker really nice guy except when he says something racist. At least he's usually an equal opportunity joker, but sometimes I have to just look at him and say "Not cool." I don't hang out with him outside work either.

[paloosa]

What do you expect from fans that threw snowballs at Santa Claus? They will never win a Super Bowl because they have Andy Reid as a Head Coach. Reid passes too much and has no running game. Plus the fans can't get out of their own way.

[SkinsFan2000]

Not all eagle fans are like that. I made "jersey bets" with a die hard eagle fan at work. I lost the first one and wore a black McNabb jersey all day. We won the next one and he had to wear a Skins one.

He has a couple of Mcfarlane's (action figures) of McNabb and offered to paint half of one with Skins colors and leave the other half in Eagle colors. It's almost complete now except for the logo on the helmet and looks fantastic! He said he'll give it to me before the first game of the season. I'll post pictures of it.

HTTR!

[COOLeyCatchTds]

This is what I was thinking as I read the OP.




OK, the right thing for him to do would be try to get along with him. Ignore him acting out, And try to lead by example as a mature adult.

But just for fun, what if he started always bringing up "three Superbowls to none" anytime football comes up? And always trying to work the number "3" or trio or trifecta in any conversation involving him? :evilg::evilg::evilg: Example: "Oh look, it's THREE minutes past 1!"

(yes I'm being very childish)


Childish? Maybe, but damn-it, it's always fun. One of my best friends is a philly fan and we **** with each other all the time. If he ever gets the upper hand, I bust out the "3". God it pisses him off. :beavisnbutthead:

[Boss_Hogg]

Philly fans are pansies. They attack in groups never one on one.

[DieHard86]

Philly fans embrace their ignorance and lack of success

[Morningside Skins]

That's nothing. One of the favorite jokes of an Eagles fan I know is "Dawkins would have survived" in reference to Sean Taylor's murder. He thinks its absolutely hilarious. Just another example of the cretins that are spawned in that dump.

[B&G808]

Just finished my first trip to the East Coast! We drove from Mexico to Massachusetts where my girlfriend is from. I fell asleep in VA and awoke in South Philly. What a **** hole! It's no wonder their fans are such D-bags. Being from that toilet would turn anyone into a piece of ****!
