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.

You make a good point but it does not fully reflect what I have said about normal and abnormal behavior. I will use your point with the help of a Dennis Quaid's The Day After Tomorrow scene:

Let's call Quaid's line a snow line. Let's pretend that good, bad, whatever kind of snowball fights happen all the time above that line every time it snows.

The idea of St. Nicholas came to North America in the 18th century. The idea slowly grew into the warm, fuzzy, wholesome, traditional icon we know as Santa Claus today.

Anyone will be hard-pressed finding stories, out of those thousands upon thousands of times when anyone picked up a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g (must less smashed up balls of fallen precipitation) and threw it at someone dressed as the beloved, kind, child-friendly, joyful holiday symbol known as Santa. On the other hand, there are literally millions of stories involving family and friends throwing frozen stuff either at each other or ganging up on a smaller group of people (or even one person) for fun.

The last example is called normal behavior, even if it is the vicious version. That literally happens all the time. It is a human norm.

The first example is called abnormal behavior because it has not and does not normally happen in human society. Normally, people do not adopt a mob mentality, single out someone, anyone, dressed as Santa Claus, and pelt them with snow, ice, whatever, for any real or imaginary reason. Why? Because normally something does not click inside a person's brain to target... [drumroll] Santa.

Snow falls. A Santa rings a Salvation Army bell outside a store in Boise, Idaho. None of the store's customers, walking into the store after having a bad day, pick up snow or ice and hit Santa. They do not want to.

Snow falls. A Santa rides in a Christmas holiday parade in St. Paul, Minnesota. Any parade watchers, having a bad day, do not pick up snow or ice and hit Santa. They do not want to.

Snow falls. A Santa arrives at a Cleveland, Ohio hospital to give young patients Christmas presents. People, walking to or getting out of their cars, do not stop, pick up snow or ice and hit Santa. They do not want to.

Okay. That's it for me. I dug this rabbit hole for myself. There is no one to blame but myself. :laugh:
 
Nothing breeds dispassion and apathy more than an entity that actually goes out of its way to disappoint players and fans like a narcissistic, megalomaniac insistent on not changing the formula to building a successful team.

Brand building and net worth doesn't apply to player nor fan satisfaction in terms of game success

I don't know what the hell that was about, but I'm all for it!
 
Think about squeezing the juice out of a lemon by hand, then think about using tongs to squeeze more out of it. Then you use a juicer to squeeze every membrane and the only thing left is the rind of the lemon. Over the years past, fans are the lemon and JJ is the hands, tongs and juicer. We are a shell of ourselves.

You are 100% right brother that type of behavior does not happen in other parts of the country where people are normal.

Philadelphia and surrounding area people and kids once upon a Time through snowballs at anything .

A whole group of kids after school would stand up on a hill and pelt cars with snowballs for no reason it was a sport passed down through generations.

I remember watching high school kids when I was in junior high pelt the bus drivers with snowballs.

Snowballs are nothing after playing a game with a certain School we always had to keep our helmets and uniforms on because we would be pelted with rocks our backup quarterback got hit in the head through the bus window with a rock one time.
It's way easier to just hide in the rabbit hole then try and make sense out of the people in the Philadelphia area. Lol

Yes and many of us had passion 10, 15, 20 years ago until Jerry and his micromanagement of all coaches and players stifled our playoff hopes to death. I can't believe any Cowboy fan has any enthusiasm left after the past 29 seasons. Certainly the fan base is the last place to look for a root cause of our 29 year drought. It's the man behind the curtain, the Wizard of AT&T (curtains open).

Ive been a fan, obsessed since the early 70s. Ive never felt so pessimistic about my beloved franchise
 
Geez and Howie was the guy who built their Super bowl team imagine what they would have done to Jerry by now and his horrible son.
