CeeDee admits the Eagles have a more passionate fan base

I know a man who was there. (I dated his daughter…my god it’s over fifty years ago) He was a NY Giants fan, lived in north Jersey, had tickets and was entertaining a client who was an Eagles fan. Windchill below 20 degrees, He said it was crazy and the client was like thanks, but let’s get out of here. This has triggered memories for me. Good ones. He really hated the Eagles. He’d hate them more now, but he passed away 14 years ago. He was a good man. We talked about football, a lot.

What happened with the daughter?
 
The Cowboys, at long last, have finally done it . . . they've outlasted their America's Team label. :omg:
 
...Eagles are hot topic, naturally. What else is he going to say?

Watch when Dallas makes playoffs this year. Ratings over the roof.

Eagles will be another fly in the pan.

Actually got back in contact with her after 47 years. Great lady. Now in constant touch with one of her younger brothers. A cancer survivor and in a battle with it again. Downside of the internet, when you re-establish contact with old friends, along with the great memories come life’s realities.
 
They’re fans and media actually hold the owner and front office accountable. Dallas is soft when it comes to that.

Can you explain what "another fly in the pan" means?

Perhaps, but do you think if Jerry Jones and his family owned the Eagles, and ran the Eagles the same way they ran the Cowboys, that Eagles fans would quietly sit in their seats eating their overpriced food having paid $100 for parking and and just give Jones and his entourage a free pass for 30 seasons? You can be 100% sure that there would be massive and coordinated fan reactions that would make his ability to enjoy/attend games near impossible. Banners, empty seats, vocal complaints, etc.

In contrast, you go to AT&T and, win or lose, people just don't seem to care, or vent any frustrations in a way that would be felt.

You can't have it both ways.

Jerry's vehicle would have been bricked and he would have been hung under i-95 and pelted with rotten fruit.
Philly fans would have ran Jerry out of town they would never have tolerated all his bull spit he wouldn't I've been able to publicly speak anywhere in Philly at this point.
You talk about a place where people aren't afraid to ask tough questions and put him on the spot Philadelphia would be at he would be walking on eggshells every time he came out of his house afraid of what was going to happen next.

These people are a Savage horrible group but serious and passionate about their football team they are.
Snake oil salesman likeJerry would not be tolerated

uh huh. This is continually stretching out further than silly putty. Allow me to approach this from a different angle.

Let's assume there have been, say, 15,000 games that have ever been played in the NFL. Now, whittle that number down to around all games ever played during month of December. That's gotta still be in the hundreds, right?

Let's pause for a second. You responded to me earlier after reading me type this:

"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."​

Normal (for most people that is) means conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

Abnormal means deviating from what is normal or usual.

Remember my pointing out those thousands of NFL games in the month of December? Great.

Can you locate a few thousand articles of NFL fans pelting Santa Claus? I mean, each article describing a singular event occurring in most or all NFL stadiums, illustrating a number of fans pelting Santa Claus with snowballs?

No? I wonder why?

Perhaps... it is because pelting Santa Claus with snowballs has not been a standard, usual, typical or even expected event in NFL stadiums. It is normal for anyone--even little girls named Virginia--to not throw things at Ole' St. Nick.

Throwing stuff at referees? Sure. That has happened many, many times. In all sports. At every level. Heck. People have thrown things at umpires at Little League baseball games. The behavior is completely wrong but can logically be described as normal abhorrent events than a rare abhorrent abnormal event.

Final time. It was and is abnormal behavior for NFL fans to pelt Santa Claus with snowballs. If this does not get us both on the same page, nothing will.

First off you got to have snow Philadelphia gets snow how much snow does Dallas get Jacksonville Tampa Bay Arizona Atlanta. Rams raiders chargers not much chance there.

What's normal in Philadelphia is not necessarily normal in the rest of the country snowballs at Santa that's nothing.
Heck research what their mayor did one time that'll tell you what that place is about.

PLUCK the Sheagals!!

Correct,

I'm about tired of seeing anything with the eagles name on it including Kellen Moore somehow it went viral we're gonna rue the day we let Kellen Moore go it's all getting old really really fast!!

and by the way they need to speak for themselves I'm as passionate about the Cowboys as I was in the 80s nineties 2000s and now in the present regardless that is how real fans defend their team we're passionate real friends are some of people in here saying that losing has created this that are we saying that the eagles from 1960 to 2000 were awesome are we trying to say they were better than us because I only see people around here picking 2000 until now as somehow deleted all the Cowboys history and trying to call us like losers like we're the Browns...​

Even the Browns are passionate about their team!! I mean watch them in the snow come out to see a bunch of losers ,how could that be wearing makeup, and gear and getting all crazy on game day outdoors in the cold that is what real fans do that is what fans do and people around here saying the Cowboys fans aren't passionate are not real Cowboys fans there are people who catch a game here and there but if they have something else to do they don't watch they don't follow it they don't look to the new year and look at it as a new year I take each season as a one off and I'm going to be as passionate and excited and ready to go the same as I've always been..

And as such as a real Cowboys fan I am not giving a single rival in the NFC East any flowers !!

I'm not going to be scared of them I'm not going to care I'm like dak Prescott, I'm going to say what's on my mind and I'm not going to care about what people try to downplay what the division is doing because of recency bias,

I will not prop up the Packers or the Steelers or the 49ers So what that's 16 that will never get any flowers for me I will always talk trash to them no matter what and I will use the fact that we've been to more Super Bowls and one more games even if it is in the past..​

So to all the people in here agreeing that somehow you're no longer the same, that you don't have the passion for the team, hey exit left swipe left we don't need you!!! this is a passionate fan base and anybody says they go to games and it's not the same they haven't been sitting in the 3rd and 4th sections you know high up off the ground the blue collar people the people who why did they go to the game so bad they didn't care where the seat was those sections are loud and they're very passionate.

Yes it can get loud and even AT&T so anybody saying otherwise I don't see it I mean yes if the team's losing the game and they're getting blown out it might get more quiet that happens everywhere you get disappointed but for the most part every game it starts the same everybody's loud everybody's ready to go it depends on where you're sitting that maybe the judgments down at field level or in the expensive seats or I don't know up in the bougie sections maybe they just aren't as passionate but that's just the type of people they are...

Great epitaph there brother you sound like a gamer
Would have loved to see you back in the day pull in the parking lot of old vet stadium with your family your Cowboys jerseys on Cowboys bumper sticker maybe a little helmet with the star on it hanging from the rear view mirror.

If you could make it through the parking lot with your family watch the whole game get back and get out unscathed I would say you were one hell of a of a passionate fan.
Being a cowboy fan from the safety of Texas is nothing try being one and living in Philadelphia area your whole life.
You would see in a big hurry how passionate these people are about their team and you want to test yourself and your fanhood they will put it to the test not so much now but in the days of old veterans stadium being a Cowboys fan was a dangerous job
 
Hats off to CD lamb for speaking the truth.
I mean no disrespect to my cowboy Brothers on this forum but until you have attended a quantity of games at Philadelphia you are not really qualified to speak on their fans CD has attended some games there and has a perspective on Cowboys fans versus Philadelphia's fans in their level of passion.
Yes they are demented low life maniacs but their commitment to their team cannot be questioned especially by people living in the safety of the Dallas area and attending games at Jerry world.

The difference is so drastic that even CD just couldn't lie about it it's like if he tried to say the Cowboys fans were more passionate a whole audience would just scream liar he couldn't even do it in good conscience he had to tell the truth.

Maybe if the Cowboys fans in Texas where is passionate and outspoken as the eagles fans are in Philadelphia Jerry would be intimidated and forced into a corner where he would have to put a better product on the field and less money in his pocket.

That said I have attended many games especially at Old veterans stadium every year and it's not a game to these people it's a war and you are the enemy make no mistake. Being a Cowboys fan and attending games here back in the day was not just a commitment it was a mission of surviving the game and making it home with your vehicle and person intact.
Not as much now in a kinder gentler world but the passion is still there. Heck there used to be a jail in the stadium what more needs to be said.
 
Other teams have always had more passionate fans. this has been mentioned by media since the 70's.

We didn't love our team any less, Cowboys fans have just always been more cerebral than animated. We were never so passionate that we tore up our city in celebration.

I can remember game announcers describe the Cowboys fans at a game behave as if they were at a picnic or church social. of course, that was when winning was the expectation and losing was a rare shock at Texas Stadium.

It was one of the reasons other fans hated us so much. we didn't get as excited because there was less mystery in whether or not our team was going to win a home game.

During the 14 combined seasons of 1970-1983, the Cowboys home record was 83-18. They won over 83% of their home games, better than any other team's home record during that period. They averaged slightly more than one home loss per season.

It's okay CeeDee. Dallas fans think Eagles player have more passion than Cowboys players so we're all even.
