Not killed, but a few limbs broken. Actually if the Eagels win and you come w/ a Pats jersey you should be OK, because people will be so happy. They'll probably buy you a beer or two.
I was watching it live on TV. Perhaps some fans were being gracious, but most weren't. I've never seen or heard anything like it before or since.
Spoilsport. You either have the passion in your blood or you don't. In fact, an Eagles win is probably the only thing that can bring so may different people together to be happy. No divisions of political class, race, age, sex, income. The celebration would be the feel good story of the century in these parts.
I saw the game. The fans cheered the fact that Irvin was hurt
2. 90% of those arrested at the Stadium were visiting fans
Bullcrap, the vast majority of visitors to Judge McShamus' (sp?) under Vet courtroom were Eagles fans. The monday after the worst of the worst were identified by name and town, name and town, name and town.
3. "The Batteries" were thrown at a Broncos Chiefs game and a Red Sox Yankees game.
Dude, regardless of what may have happened elsewhere, it is a fact that JD Drew had batteries thrown at him from the upper deck of the VET.
Go ahead and hate Philadelphia, but don't pretend to know anything about it.
It has nothing to do with hating Philly. But having Philly fans trying to re-write history gets old. Not all the fans are jerks, but you can't cover up what used to go on in the 700 level of the VET.
Gracious in winning, violent in defeat? Not a city I'd like to visit LOL... It's nice living in Seattle, I've noticed, because most people here are fans of teams from other places LOL...
All of you suckers are going to be eating crow when the Eagles trounce their asses! Go Philly!
At first the fans were cheering him staying down(you have to understand how much people hated Irvin, who was a drugged up thug then) because it looked like Michael Zordich drilled him (he didn't). Then people saw how serious it was and got silent. Then Deion started his foolishness and people booed. When Irvin went off on a stetcher there was cheering when people knew how serious it was.
So, has the Roundhouse come up with a plan yet to deal with the celebration if the Eagles win? ;0)
Amen brother. It's hard to hate the Pats. They're everythign that's right about football, but this week they're the hated enemy, and will be treated as such. See ya Tuesday on Broad St.
I was surprised when I looked it up that that was the only definition given.
Hell, the cops will be joining in. You don't understand just how happy people will be. You should have been in the parking lot after the Falcons game. No thuggery, no violence, just a bunch of extemely happy people hugging total strangers.
Well, here's hoping the city doesn't burn like some other big cities that have won championships LOL... I don't recall that ever happening in Philly, and I'd hate to see it happen - no matter how much I may dislike the Eagles, I have been to Philly a few times and liked it...
I want someone to knock Terrell Owens's head off.
But not really.
It's kind of a pretend hatred.
I know that the Philly fans are able to direct their boos with pinpoint accuracy and were so concerned about Michael Irvin that they knew he would want to hear them boo an act he couldn't see.
Yes, I'm sure those boos made Irvin feel really good.
2. 90% of those arrested at the Stadium were visiting fans who bought into the "anything goes in Philly" mentality that you have.
Right...out of towners...furiners...where did they get the idea that "anything goes in Philly". That sort of mentality in Vegas actually has a reason, I wonder what the reason is for Philadelphia having such a reputation.
Once the word got out to people exactly like you, the arrests plummeted, and the court (it was actually a court, but don't let facts get in the way, right?) closed.
Yes, it was a court...with a jail...which is a holding cell. It was not a prison, people were moved elsewhere after the game. But it actually had a lock and they had a judge assigned to the stadium.
3. "The Batteries" were thrown at a Broncos Chiefs game and a Red Sox Yankees game. Eagles fans do travel,
Where? To Reading? I've never seen a more insulated group of people outside of New York.
[yadda yadda yadda]... and the Red Sox and Yankees play BASEBALL, it's not that likely that Eagles fans were to blame.
I admit, the most recent battery incident is baseball (J.D. Drew), but it was Philadelphia.
As has been exposed time and again, you've never been to Philadelphia ("I ate at Ginos"), much less an Eagles game.
Say what you want. Typical crude, classless, humorless, obnoxious Philadelphia fan. I want the Eagles to win this week. I really do. Because if they don't, despite the fact that Belichick (excuse my spelling if it isn't correct) doesn't lose, they will be more insufferable boors (this happens to be spelled correctly) than they are now.
Go ahead and hate Philadelphia, but don't pretend to know anything about it.
Hey, I just cast my vote against the Philadelphia fans. Actually, since it's Philadelphia, I can vote again!
No burning down anything. Just unbridled joy. Hopefully you'll see what I mean.
No it's not: Tuck Rule.
See? It's easy.
I doubt I will get to see what you mean. ;0)
New England beat Pittsburgh.
