Oh, I know that...I was just busting on ya.

I've always felt the Cowboy fans are a bit too reserved at Texas Stadium.

When we were down for the Redskins game this year we were by a good sized group of Redskins fans. No way did they get harassed beyond the verbal barbs.

If I was roughed up at the stadium by Eagles fans I'd sue the pants off of them. Only takes one time to get enough bad publicity to get those neanderthals under control with some decent security.

Also, good on Roy for mentioning that the bus got egged. I hope we see that clip all week and it's a continual embarassment for Philly.

Pathetic.

I hate Eagle fans alot more then I hate the Eagles team.

You cannot put into words how bad the Eagles fans are. They take it WAY to personal and it goes WAY beyond watching a football game. Sure ill mess with my friends who are Eagles fans but they take it way to far.

Two guys near me wore a Cowboys shirt and a Bill Bates jersey and they didnt last till halftime, they had to leave cuase they couldnt take it, CONSTANT cursing and shoving and they couldnt take it. The person 2 rows in front of him made a remark about Bates being dead for so many years and something about his di** and his mom but i cannot remember clearly. But back to the game.

[View Full Quote]From what I saw we looked horrible and we played like that all game. Six minutes left in the fourth quarter after the EAgles picked up we left. Partially becuase Dallas had no chance and the other part was two guys behind us screaming at the top of their lungs "DALLAS SUCKS, DALLAS SUCKS" for probably all of the fourth quarter NONSTOP.

So we left along with ALOT of people who knew the game was over. By the time we got to the car we turned on the radio and heard, "If dallas can hit the extra point, they will take the lead". I was speechless, I did not know if it was a joke someone was playing but there was no way i believed waht was happening but sure enough they came back.

I still cannot get over how I could have witnessed one of the best comebacks in YEARS for the Cowboys becuase of the Fans around me. Man I wish i could talk to those guys behind me NOW.

But to sum it up, Eagles fans are classeless, and I made a very very stupid mistake.

GO COWBOYS and "EAGLES SUCK, EAGLES SUCK!!!"

I was at the Vet for the 2002 Eagles/Dallas game. I'm a hardy football vet that has been to many a Patriot and Giant game and have seen some fan issues/fighting in the day but nothing compared to what I've seen/heard of at the Vet.

I too chose to go in to watch a football game and felt putting on Dallas garb would lead to nothing but grief. I'm a big guy and stand my own but few can relate to how nuts Philly fans are.

For a Sunday game the fans were in the parking lots drinking at 4 and 5 in the morning as if they hadn't stopped from the night before. For a Monday night game my guess is the average fan started in at noon. What then happens is borderline Riot mentality. It almost becomes a mass attack on opposing teams fans.....

I saw the Pats in the late 80's to early 90's and they had the same issue. They to their credit stopped selling bear to selling LA bear to flat out taking season tickets way from idiots. Then they upped the prices and its now a very enjoyable game. I'd take my 11 year old son to a Pat game, not an Eagle game.

Its up to Eagle management to fix this - its an embarrasment.

I'd pay $10G to have been there as Roy was running down the sidelines......

i still cant get over leaving early.. thats a once in a lifetime thing that will happen

but i was riding with Eagles fans also and they wanted to leave so basically I had no choice but to stay..

I actually respect the Redskins franchise and history somewhat. I wouldn't piss on the eagles to put out a fire. I have met one cool Eagle fan in my life and he was from Texas...poor, misguided soul he is.

I have SB programs of every SB Dallas played in hanging on my walls and I constantly point them out to him. It is all in good fun, but Eagle fans can take it too far.

the best part of winning last night was when they panned the camera around to all those eagle fans with their stupid looks on their faces.......................loved it.

This win was better then the 1st win against Philly. They sooo thought they had the win and the game was over. Then outta nowhere they lost. The best reactions came after that McNabb INT.

Seeing the pain Eagle fans were going through was almost as good as our win.

Best was look on McNabbs moms face - she was horrified!

I feel horrified when I see McNabb's mom's face. I think I should sue for mental anguish. I stopped buying Chunky soup when she and McChunky started appearing in the commercials.

That is so true. The scum fans make it even worse.

I hate the Redskins because of the petty way their franchise approaches things.

I dislike the Giants, but I do respect what they have done as a franchise and save a few snowballs on Junior Seau's back, I respect their fans.

I hate the Eagles because of their fans.

Not me, I hate the Eagles, Redskins, and Giants with a passion. Throw in their fans, logos, uniforms, stadiums, etc.

that's not being polite, that's being a p****

could'nt of said it better myself!!!

I'm wondering when AJM1613's going to chime in and argue his "Cowboy fans wearing Dallas jerseys/shirts are to blame for getting harrassed at the Linc because they should know it was going to happen to them" nonsense.

It was and is a poor defense of his Eagle brethern.

[Kilyin]

I had to do a doubletake during one of Parcells Press Conferences last week. He actually talked up the Philthy fans and went on about how passionate and devoted to their team they are. He called them a flagship franchise. He said sometimes they take it out on you being rivals, but that's okay. If he knows about the mob violence going on, I hope he doesn't condone that sort of thing.
