CeeDee admits the Eagles have a more passionate fan base

[StylisticS]

Man this is something Ceedee should have kept to himself. Fans could easily turn on him about this. Not to mention, the front office and this team has hardly given us anything to be passionate about.

What is up with Cowboy players talking in the media. Just talk talk talk.

Jerry’s way wouldn’t fly in Philly.

The fanbase would hold him accountable.

I doubt the Eagles have ever had a general manager as football stupid as Jerry Jones, even during their lean years.

I stand corrected. They only threw snowballs at a guy dressed up as Santa Claus.

It's an quirky side line to a really bad Eagles season.

never liked Ceedee. Hes too much of a "me first" guy

I agree but it's about time Lamb and other players start saying what needs to be said. Not that it will change the front office but frustration is at an all-time high.

I thoought they threw batteries (concealed in snowballs) at Jimmy Johnson.

Nah, just ice balls. If you talk to Eagle fans they will tell you that Jerry became an idiot after JJ left. Most Eagle fans thought JJ was a hell of a coach and were jealous we had him. I miss those days.

They're also really passionate about Bon Jovi? As someone who was very passionate about the Cowboys and the NFL when I was younger, the lack of loyalty from the players and the ownership killed it for me. I was aware of the 70s, especially since I grew up watching NFL Films, and I grew up in the Buddy Ryan years. The hatred within the division was palpable as was the hatred for the Steelers and 49rs. Now with all the money involved, the league is a joke. The fact that Philadelphians are too stupid to realize that doesn't really lend any weight to their passion.

We've been holding Jerry accountable for years. The problem is the GM isn't going to fire himself and his son is just as bad.

I was not questioning whether your correction was accurate but did emphasize that human beings threw objects at Santa Claus. I would hope everyone, outside of Philadelphia, PA, recognizes that as abnormal behavior--even for sports fans.

Philly doesn’t let you suck for long.

Players, coaches, FO people, it doesn’t matter. You string together a couple bad seasons and they turn on you and get you gone.

CeeDee Lamb should not have been so cautious. In my opinion, Dallas Cowboys fans used to be very emotional and vocal in general--especially during Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson's heydays.

However, I do not think Cowboys fans were ever rabid. The literal term 'rabid'. Seriously. There have never been reports of Cowboys fans throwing batteries at Santa Claus.

Lamb's description is apt. He sees what everyone else sees. Hopefully, he will not place blame on the team's shortcomings on fans though. That finger should always be pointed at him, his teammates, his coaches and his boss.

For the one millionth time, no one threw batteries at Santa, and even the snowball incident has (and clearly continues to be) been overblown. While it's just so much fun to throw around tired cliches, perhaps an actual history of the incident is worth reviewing.

Right. The people got them gone. Not the owner.

Now we know Santa Claus really doesn't exist. If he did, every one of us would be asking for Jerry to sell the team to a competent owner.

 

[Gameover]

I mean it’s pretty true. Cowboys attract the most casual and delusional folks coupled with the fact that Philadelphia has been competitive virtually this entire century would stoke that flame

Cowboys have been competitive most of this century since 2005

We reserve battery throwing for baseball.

JD Drew was the last guy to really be a target, and Dave Parker’s fat *** got beaned a few times in the late 70’s.

Thanks. I have already stated:

From the article you posted:

At that point Macnow said Santa’s sleigh got stuck in a snow drift, and someone in the crowd chucked a snowball at the stand-in St. Nick.​

​

“Everybody has a laugh, a second person throws a snowball, a third, a fourth, a couple of hundred, a couple thousand, it becomes a barrage, and poor Frank Olivo, Santa, is hiding behind his sled trying to avoid it, and everybody has a laugh,” Didinger said. “It’s a funny thing, nobody gets hurt.”​

​

Is it accurate saying Eagles fans joyfully threw snowballs at someone dressed up as Santa Claus, who was attempting to NOT get hit with happy-go-lucky mashed up mounds of frozen ice crystals?

Santa Claus may not exist but Jerry Jones is certainly the living personification of The Grinch.

Because things have never been thrown by Cowboys fans at players and officials, right? Am I right?

What's that saying again, oh, yeah. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...?

 

[Kevinicus]

It's semantics, but passionate is not the right word.

Passionate and acting like a crazed lunatic are not the same thing.

Someone can be passionate, but still be as quite as a mouse and super calm.

The guy who ACTUALLY was the snowball-pelted Santa thought it was no big deal, went back to his seat to a round of cheers, and was a local celebrity for it, so I guess it wasn't as bad as people claim. Maybe you've never been in a snow ball fight?
