Dave Spadaro: "I am sorry for doing it..."

[theebs]

I wonder how the eagles/dave spadaro and the media would be viewing this had the eagles won?

[SA_Gunslinger]

The team already responded and said nothing would happen to him and his credentials would not be revoked.

An Open Letter Of Apology To The Cowboys


As you may have seen, I went too far with my Spudcam video prior to Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Acting alone, and without permission from the Eagles organization, I walked out to the middle of the field at Cowboys Stadium and spit on the Cowboys star, and for that I deeply apologize to the outstanding Cowboys organization and the fine people there, from Jerry Jones to the rest of the team.

It was not my intention to insult the Cowboys. It was my intention to enjoy the spirit of a great sports rivalry, and I clearly went over the line and acted unprofessionally. The Cowboys have always been gracious hosts and I appreciate the relationship I have with the friends I have there.

Spudcam is a feature that has become very popular here, and the goal of Spudcam is to provide a unique perspective of the game-day experience. We here at PhiladelphiaEagles.com strive to do anything and everything to bring our fans as close as possible to the action, to enjoy the team they love on an every-day basis. I try to have fun with Spudcam and to put the camera in places that cameras normally don't go.

I took it to the extreme here, and admit that I have done so in other situations this year. Again, it is all done in the spirit of pre-game fun, to get excited about the game, to show the fans at Lincoln Financial Field and those on the road what happens behind the scenes on game days.

I admit I get carried away with my love of the Philadelphia Eagles, and if this is a crime, I am clearly guilty. Game days are an incredible experience for me. The will to win is unlike anything I have ever felt. The angst and the tightly-knotted stomach and the ups and downs of 60 minutes of Eagles football leave me thoroughly drained -- win or lose -- and I enjoy having the opportunity to communicate that to the many great Eagles fans who follow this team on a (many-times) daily basis.

I appreciate the support of the Eagles organization as we take this web site to new levels. I have made many mistakes in my excitement over the years communicating my love of the Eagles to you, and the franchise has always backed me. There are times when my enthusiasm has to be reined in by many within the Eagles, who have always made sure to let me know when I've exceeded the boundaries of professionalism.

Again, I apologize to those whom I have offended by my actions with Spudcam. I acted in an unprofessional manner and I am deserving of the punishment coming my way, and of the scorn of Dallas fans and those who did not appreciate my actions. I am responsible for my work and I will stand up to the criticism.

For those Eagles fans who come here so often and who make this web site so successful, I thank you for your love of the Eagles. I appreciate the opportunity to communicate so frequently with Eagles fans, who want the same thing as I: To beat Dallas on Saturday night and to stay alive in this 2009 season.

Any one else have the feeling his boss had some thing to do with this letter?
Kind of a sign this Dave or you're done.

Like I said in my previous post, their maggot infected brains are so diseased they don't even know they are a bunch of disgusting pukes.

Sounds like Spud is very very sorry.



That he was caught.



Hell is coming Spud.

-----------------------------

After seeing this video of Spadaro spitting on the star I got in touch with him. I let him know on a 15 minute phone call that I thought he was completely out of line. I told him that he knew he was taking it too far and of course he now agreed that he did go too far.

"I was asked to do it by the fans, so I did it", said Spadaro. Which begs the question as to what else he would do if the fans asked.

"I am sorry for doing it and I promise I would never spit on the star ever again. I was just trying to have fun, but I understand it went too far."

When I was talking to Dave I asked him if I was the first person to contact him about this incident from the 'enemy side' and he said yes. He informed me the video would be coming down ASAP and even in a roundabout way asked me not to write about the video because he knew it could only mean trouble for him.

I am not the first to write about this video. The link to the original video has been on some message boards for hours now. The Dallas Morning News wrote about this issue on their blog. And I hear it's being discussed on some local radio stations in the Dallas area.

Dave being an internet coordinator he should know that in today's world anything that goes online is spread around within minutes, if not seconds.

The most interesting thing about all of this to me is that I told Dave that he should just own this because it's the Philly way. You know, they're all tough guys in Philly and that includes the Eagles and their fans.

Dave wanted on part of owning any of his actions in the video. He sounded as if he was genuinely sorry for doing it and I do believe he was very sorry it was now going to be a national story. All that bravado Dave had in the video was long gone. Sort of like the confidence the Eagles had when they walked into that stadium four hours after Dave spit on the star.

Now again. Dave was real sorry for doing this and he made that abundantly
clear throughout the conversation.

But just watch the video. You spit on the star Dave. You spit on the star. You didn't stomp on it or run around on it, you spit on it!

I don't think any of the employees of the Dallas Cowboys would head into Financial Field and spit on the Eagles logo as they looked around to make sure and not get caught doing it.

Let me close with this. It's not the end of the world and Dave should not be fired. He screwed up. We all do it. Yeah, maybe his bosses give him hell for it and ask him 10-15 times why he would think that would be ok to place on the teams website. But don't fire the guy.

Maybe, just maybe it's these kinds of things that keep the Eagles from actually winning of importance. The football God are always in play and this will be just another reason for them to help the Cowboys beat down the Eagles on Saturday.

No way DC, he spit twice, he should be fired and banned from pro football completely. !!!!

 

[CATCH17]

Does seeing DC do this make anyone else think of how bad *** it is to be an American?

This guy is begging to be fired. If I employed this guy I would simply tell him to shut up at this point. Now he is saying he is repeatedly stupid and the Eagles organization backs him on it

 

[poke]

i just posted the full video that had been removed from the eagles site today
in the other thread about this
found it on youtube tonight

 

[Hostile]

Why do we always have to be the classy ones? It seems like the jerks always win the Superbowls. Gosh...

The Eagles have won a Super Bowl?

Maybe you should look at this.

[cowboyjoe]

I am still mad about this, its like someone that you dont like and they go into your house and spit. Maybe I could understand it if he has spit just once, but he looked around and said dallas deserves it more, so he spit again. The 2nd time wasnt for fans, it was for him.

It was stupid, dumb and ignorant, but if he is allowed to get away with this, what do you think some other people that come into out stadium will do.

He started this when he did it, I dont think you would ever see JJ Taylor, or Dalen Hansen, or Mickey Spagnola, and other writers etc, spit on some other teams stadium field.

Totally uncalled for and he should answer for it. The Commissioner Goodell says all NFL players, coaches, owners and people that work for the NFL etc are to be held responsible with integrity, honor, trust, etc.

That to me sure wasnt honor, sense of values, integrity by what he did.

He did it, no one twisted his arm. He should have to answer for it now!

If I were Jerry Jones, I would wait until just before the [edit] Eagles [edit] staff arrive at the stadium and immediate call the Eagles owner and Arlington authorities to inform them that this clown's privilages to enter the stadium have been revoked, effective immediately. Then I would wait for him to enter the stadium, at which point I would have him arrested for tresspassing. Then once he is sitting in a jail cell, I would send him a telegram stating that he has been banned for life from Cwobyos Stadium.

It's a proven scientific fact... my personal theory is that those synapses are redirected to other, naughtier regions, which then become hyperstimulated...

is he fired yet??
