I have a dilemma with an Eagles fan...

[Cowboys22]

Just tell him 5 is greater than 0 and see how longs its takes him to figure that out. When he does simply say "who sucks now" or "so which team actually sucks" or "at least my team hasn't sucked forever". There are 1000 witty lines you could say.

He's just jealous.

When it comes to fans like that i just ignore them and laugh in my head at their stupidity.

My apologies in advanced if I'm posting this in the wrong section as it's my first post since joining this phenomenal site.

I seek the advice of my fellow Cowboy fans as I've tried every known tactic to end this frustrating weekly happening.

I love the Cowboys, I have since I was 10 years old and I used to watch Danny White QB for the Boys'. I also play golf with my crew at least weekly at a local course that is just too good of a price to pass up; $18.00 for 18 holes.

Unfortunately, the clubhouse guy that works there (nephew of the owner) is a big time Eagles fan and every time me and my boys walk in to pay our fees, the first line he drops when he sees me is:

"COWBOYS SUUUUUUUCK!!!"

He guffaws like a baboon after yelling this statement and always says he's just kidding. He knows quite a bit about the game and we've talked in the past like two normal guys would about the NFL games and games we've seen however, he screams this obcsentity (which is how I take it) each and every time he sees me and my crew when we initially show up to play a round.

Now, if it had only been a few times is one thing but, he's been doing it every week for the past THREE years! I kid you not nor do I exaggerate my dilemma.

At first, it was funny especially when I would shoot back something such as, "Come talk to me when your Eagles get a ring." Or, "Really? If the Cowboys suck and they have 5 rings and the Eagles have none, what does that say about the Eagles?"

He's just one of those guys that thinks it's always funny no matter how many times you tell the same joke over and over. It's borderline mental disorder with this guy and I've become accustomed to just ignoring the somewhat offensive battle cry he feels obligated to share with everyone within earshot.

You can imagine the brutal verbal beating I took last year when the Cowboys got their tails handed to them by the Eagles 44-6.

So I come to this forum in hopes of getting some sound advice on how to handle or NOT handle this situation.

I've thought about switching courses and even have played on different ones but the price is just too good to beat considering most courses around my area run in the $50 for 18 range.

This past year when the Cowboys beat the Eagles, I went into the clubhouse with a big smile on my face but my guy was no where to be seen. Almost like he KNEW I was going to say something to him so he decided to call in sick on that day fully knowing me and my crew would be coming in. (They have my tee time at least a week in advanced so he would know when I'm playing.)

So, in conclusion I'd like to thank you for reading my post and especially thank those that respond to my issue.

Go Cowboys! Let's get ring # 6!

Next time you walk in and Mr.Eagles fan screams his normal salute Just hit him with this.
Repeat after me: Broken Wings and No Rings!!! Also, sing a little of their song, mockingly of course, as you walk away. They hate when I sing their song to them after the Cowboys beat them. If you didn't already know, I live in Jersey right across the Delaware river from Philly.

 

[Fmart322]

I've never met an eagles fan that had an ounce of class so this story doesn't really surprise me. Continue to take the high road and take solice in knowing you don't have to wake up with the knowledge that you're an eagles fan

You can't do that with Eagles fans. You have to hit back.

Let me ask you this. What could you possibly say to him that would be worse than what he lives daily?

He follows a team that has never won a championship in an era when they didn't play one-platoon football or wore leather helmets.

They lives in a city that would be ruled a disaster area in most of the other states in the union.

His life is watching a team that cannot win it all and a wife whose posterior is getting bigger than the garbage piled on the street in front of his house because of the sanitation strike.

I made this point in another thread like this on another board.

This is a sailor, floating in the NFL sea, looking for Port Lombardi on a ship with no navigational equipment on a cloudy night with no stars. Lost would at least have a direction compared to where this guy is.

What could you possibly say to this guy to make it worse?

Hey clown, you're wearing white shoes after Labor Day?

 

[vta]

Next time he says that to you, just wink at him and say, "Well, if you think the Cowboys suck...then the Eagles swallow!!

Winner!

 

[dadymat]

next time he says "Cowboys suck"...just hold up all fingers on your hand (assuming u have five fingers) and one by one lower them till only one is still standing......you know which one to leave up......



or simply ask him... "What do you call an Eagle with a Superbowl ring? ....A Thief"

 

[lonpatel]

Given the accomplished history of the Cowboys...(and the pathetic - no superbowl championship history of the Eagles), why do you feel the need to respond? The guy is an idiot and I would ignore him...play your game of golf (at a course you enjoy and a price that you love) and screw the jerk.

I enjoy having intelligent discussions with fans of other teams...it provides perspective and animated conversation. Fans that resort to stupid retorts aren't worth your time.

 

[evarc]

When he says cowboys suck you scream AND EAGLES SWALLOW! Works on my dad and brother...

Now that's a good one.

 

[AsthmaField]

You could always just flip him off and flash him a big, malicious grin. That's probably what I'd do.

 

[TheSkaven]

Not sure that I can help, but a few observations:

1) This is the classic description of an Eagles' fan. There is no reasoning or logic with them, so there really isn't much hope of using any sane argument.

2) $18 for 18 holes is fantastic, I wouldn't let the Eagles' fan ruin it. How are you swinging that??

3) Make sure you give it as good as you get it. Especially after we trounce them tomorrow.

Finally, as I live in the Philadelphia suburbs (well - until very recently), I've had years of abuse. It's easier when we're on top - the 1-15 and 5-11 seasons are brutal. There isn't much advice that I can give you except to say that you need that stiff upper lip, and as is said around these parts, "embrace the hatred".

 

[cowboys#1]

thats whats great about the NFL. dont get butt hurt about stuff like that. its all in fun.

 

[Hoofbite]

Is this really ruining your life?

Dudes a ****ing jerk, get over it.

Listen to an ipod until to get to the 1st tee box.

 

[sefswim]

Tell him this story

A little boy Cowboy fan attended grade school in Phila. One day the teacher asked everyone who was Eagle fans to raise their hands. All did but this little boy. The teacher asked who he was a fan of and he replied the Cowboys. Well she was appalled and asked WHY was he a Cowboy fan. He replied that since his mom and dad were Cowboy fans then that makes him a Cowboy fan too. She said that's ridiculous. If your Mom was an idiot, and your Dad was an idiot then what would you be? His reply, well I guess then I'd be an Eagles fan.

 

[Hagman]

There are a few simple rules to follow in life. Among them are:

1. Never get into a peeing contest with a skunk.
2. Never get into a flatulence contest with a lactose intolerant elephant.
3. Never get into a crude shouting match with a cretinous, brat-wurst fed lard bag who is an Eagles fan.

Just smile and say stuff like "Do you have my clubs ready and polished, boy" or "Gee, the hot wife that I was able to attract with my superior education and professional occupation was crawling all over me last Sunday. Guess I missed most of the game."

The latter response is preferred. The typical Eagles fan can't digest that many words in one hearing and will stare at you gape-jawed and dumbfounded trying to process them in his dim-witted melon of a brain. You'll be out on the course before he can come up with a response.

 

[Hostile]

Well, you can start with this. All time, head to head, the Cowboys lead the series 54 to 43. That means they need to win tomorrow and sweep us for 5 years just to pull even. You can add if you want to that we are 2-1 against them in the post season.

Tell him during the 49 years that we have been in the same division as them we won 20 division crowns (21 if we win tomorrow) to their 8 (9 if they win tomorrow).

Tell him that in the 49 years we have been in the same division they have had a better record than us 14 times (15 if they win tomorrow). We have finished with a better record than them 34 times (35 if we win tomorrow).

Tell him that in the years since we have both been in the NFL and in the same division we have finished dead last in the Division 4 times. Two of Dave Campo's years, Landry's last year, and Jimmy's first year. His Eagles have been dead last in the same division 12 times.

Tell him we have 5 Super Bowls to his 0. That we have 8 NFC Championships to his 2. That we have played for the NFC Championship 16 times to his 6.

Tell him the Cowboys have swept the Eagles 16 times and they have swept us 10.

Tell him to stand in our shadow and shiver from the cold.

If we win tomorrow I would show up the next time you go to play golf with a broom and take it each time after that until they win a game. If he opens his mouth take out the broom and pretend to sweep away the trash. You might even hum a little tune about sweeping away the trash.

You may end up with 9 months of that broom talking louder than his lame joke.

Oh, and to The Zone. Believe.

 

[LeonDixson]

Life's too short to worry about crap like that. It's good natured banter and should be treated as such. Just give it right back to him and go out and enjoy your golf.

 

[sonnyboy]

Just tell him that Superbowls aren't won in January.

or by Eagles...........:laugh2:

 

[Future]

You can just shoot him.

I was going to say knock him out but this works too :laugh2:
