No I hear ya... I think, to a certain extent the whole Philly fan thing is a little played up, even on our part. We sort of relish being thought of as assholes, and (well, in the Vet, anyhow) a tough town to play in. I'd trade the rep for a Super Bowl win any day though.
Hey Philly fans, What do you think about Terrell Owens?

[quote name='craab']Anyhow - I do not want to sit and defend the Eagles - people like who they like - but I do hope they make an example out of TO. Otherwise, the NFL will be like the inmates running the asylum...[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Like grave, I don't mean anyone here. Like he said, you could easily be the exception.
But on this note, I'd love to see McNabb lead TO a little too far into the open field so that he gets creamed by someone. I mean, you're paid to play great. If you play great, why should you get paid more, especially going into only your second year of the contract? You did your job, you get paid. It's like me going to my boss right now and, since I do my job so well, demanding a raise. It's ridiculous, and if the Eagles cave, it'll be real disappointing to me.

[quote name='Grave_Addiction']First things first, it's totally different when your rival's quarterback twists an ankle and is out for the game. Most fans wouldn't be too sad if that happened.
But remember when Irvin's head was rammed into the ground, and he was almost paralyzed? Yeah, the Philly fans rose to their feet and were actually cheering Irvin's injury. Irvin is one of the greats, and he didn't deserve that kind of crap. I'm sad that playing and getting hurt in Philly had to be his last game.
A mom and wife of an opposing team's player attended a game in Philly one Sunday. They wore his jersey, and got beer bottles thrown at them and were berated throughout the entire game. They had to get a police escort to take them away.
And no I've never been to an Eagles' game, but everyone I've talked to who have been said if you wear a Cowboys' jersey expect to get harrassed or into a fight. That should not be the norm. And thankfully it's not in the NFL except in Philadelphia.
Paying for a ticket should give you the right to boo or cheer, but you shouldn't harrass another team's fans or cheer a serious injury.
Most fans throughout the NFL will cheer for the opposing player and hope he's okay, but not in Philly.
Pieces of shit.[/QUOTE]
actually we cheer for most players when they are okay but there will always be players that get cheered when they are hurt. I'm sorry but if you were wearing dallas crap when there was a big rivalry you know what you are going to get. You base all your info one time events, most fans are treated fine. We are asses but guess what we dont care. Part of the problem is that our reputation is bigger than the truth but who cares you are watching the most violent of professional sports and you expect people to sit in their seats quietly drinking tea.

Oh just wait till T.O. tries to come over the middle and is greeted by Roy Williams. Owens is going to know where he is at all times, and I don't think he wants any part of Roy.

Owens leaves morning practice with minor injury
By Marc Narducci
Inquirer Staff Writer
BETHLEHEM, PA -- Disgruntled wide receiver Terrell Owens missed the final part of the Eagles' morning practice Thursday with left groin inflammation. The Eagles said it is possible that he could participate in the afternoon workout.
Owens still isn't talking to the media, with the exception of a few less-than-insightful comments on Wednesday to former NFL receiver Irving Fryar on Channel 6.
Prior to the injury, Owens has made several impressive plays in practice, including a 40-yard touchdown reception from Donovan McNabb in a full 11-on-11 workout.
There was no update on the situation of running back Brian Westbrook, who entered his fourth day as a holdout. It's costing Westbrook $6,000 a day.
For the second straight day, the Eagles worked in full pads and worked up a full sweat. Temperatures were again in the mid 90's with high humidity.
"It's tough," cornerback Lito Sheppard said about the heat. "You just have to push through it and work."
Eagles rookie linebacker Matt McCoy and second-year defensive back Matt Ware, neither of whom practiced yesterday, returned to the field on Thursday morning.

Eagles fans better not sleep on Dallas this year. They are going to be good, and don't be surprised for them to make it into the playoffs this year. They've finally taken care of the one thing I've always thought they needed, and that's a QB. Bledsoe will take them far. They'll get a wild card, or dare I say it, steal the East from Philly.

Winning the NFC East is certainly a lofty goal. I will be extremely happy with a 10-6 record and grabbing a wild card. But if we're healthy going into the playoffs, we will be a scary team.

It's a long shot for 3 NFC East teams to make the playoffs and since the Giants are definitely going and the Eagles should be pretty good it leaves Dallas on the outside looking in - suckas!

To prove that T.O. isn't the only stupid receiver in the NFC East, here's a excerpt from a Cowboys' fan at training camp in Oxnard.
"Key made a catch down the sideline and was told by the receivers coach to "tuck the ball away", to which Key replied, 'Shut the f--- up'."

No, it's not a joke. I like Keyshawn sometimes, but he has his moments. He's a lot like my older brother, both are extremely arrogant and don't like to be told what to do. It seems only Parcells can really lay into him without Keyshawn blowing up.
But Keyshawn, like T.O., shows up on Sunday and is an incredibly hard worker. I don't think there's a tougher receiver in the game today. I've seen Key go over the middle and get absolutely creamed, but he held onto the ball and hopped right back up. And he wouldn't be afraid to run the exact same route the next play.
Bottom line is both players need to shut their mouths and play football.
