Badmouthing your team is like badmouthing your sibling. You may be pissed at them for some slight, real or imagined, but you still love them and would go to the mat for them.
Yeah, all you Internet tough guys are sure making this Eagles fan nervous, that’s for sure. I hope to God I never hear you talk smack. I’d probably piss myself.
Dio is a Redskins fan?
Tough guys? I wear my Steelers stuff all the time, even the rare occasions that I go to Philadelphia, and I hear nary a peep. But hey, they sure are brave pouring beer on people and beating them up at the stadiums, aren’t they? It sure is hard to be a tough guy when you’re outnumbering people 50-1, isn’t it? Who’s tough now?
Why would Eagles fans care about the Steelers? Giants, yes. Cowboys, yes. Redskins, not in the last decade. Steelers, whatevs.
Now if you go to Philadelphia wearing Penguins gear, then it’s a different story.
Steelers enemy territory: Cleveland, Baltimore. Maybe Cinncinati.
So, pretty much all the time? 
Yes, your terrifying awesomeness is just too much for the meek Eagles faithful. In fact, you may well be the most frightening anonymous Internet poster I’ve yet run across. If you say so, that’s good enough for me.
Baltimore’s the same way.
Ultimately it all comes down to this: for all the legendary hate that cities are alleged to have for people wearing the wrong colors, it’s all a myth. Nobody accosts you on the street except maybe to say something snide or give you a sneer. It’s at the game that you need worry about that, and there is where Philadelphia has a well-documented history of hooliganism.
I’ve been to several Steelers games and there has been nothing but a little smack talking and boos when the Bengals/Ravens fans get up to leave.
You’re a child looking for a fight. I’m not giving it to you. Enjoy your team’s 51st consecutive year of futility.
Right, you’ll just casually toss off snide, insulting comments, then when called on it, step away as if you’re above such things.
We’ll see at the end of the year, brother, won’t we?
Above such things? Not hardly. But I am above your “ooh, you’re such an Internet tough guy” crap. If that’s the way you want to go, we have nothing to talk about. Refute what I said, if you can. And good luck to you in doing so.
Seriously, you want me to refute that there’s not a single Eagles fan who isn’t meek and cowardly and unaggressive when not liquored up and in a crowd? Okay, I hereby refute it. I’ve given you as much evidence as you’ve provided to the contrary, so I’m sure that will satisfy you.
I concur with the letter writer who suggested changing the Redskins’ name to “The Washington Grinches”, in commemoration of the three words that best describe them.
Anyone reading the back and forth between Airman and Stratocaster and thinking of the sports radio conversation that runs throughout the Dave Barry book “Big Trouble?”
No?
I’m the only one that read it? Carry on then.
Oh you and Tucker Carlson can both go stick it up your ass. If Steve Jobs knew a guy who had a child sex conviction but he could help them roll out the new ipad faster and make it a better model that dude would be signed the fuck up and assigned an office hidden off in a corner… And asked to take off “take your kid to work day”…
Self righteous asshats…
You can repeat this OP at any sport bar which is showing a UFC event… Thank you for your assessment of so and so’s ground skills… can you now shut the fuck up so i can hear Joe Rogan??
I’m a Bears fan and it embarrasses me when one of my own rallies around the 85 Bears when they are told we are a mediocre to shitty team. It’s VERY common and annoying.
Yeah - God forbid a man who served his time is permitted to make a living afterwards. When you look at all the wife beating, raping, drunk driving & killing shits in the NFL who nobody raises an eyebrow about when they sign multimillion dollar contracts after joke/no time sentences, the reaction to Vick seems more than a little odd. Yes what he did was terrible, but he did his time, and while I wouldn’t hire him as a dog sitter, that isn’t his job. Much as I hate him, and the Eagles, he seems to be turning into a pretty impressive redemption story, obviously athletically but apparently also personally.
To be fair, aren’t you both wrong here - the decision to move the game was made, I think, by the NFL.
Isn’t there an NFL rule, though, that Eagles fans aren’t allowed to complain about the behavior of any other team’s fans at any time? Thank God my son has grown out of his short fixation with the team so I no longer have to subject him/myself to the traveling Eagles supporters at FedEx once a year. Now if only he can come to the one true faith in the sanctity of Lambeau.
My proposal for sports championship smack talk: The Relevant Championship rule.
Instead of talking about the number of championships your team has, for smack talk you may only refer to the number of Relevant Championship. An RC is one that was won by your team which included at least two members of your current roster.
So rather than pulling out the stupidest-sounding word in sports history, “Sixburgh”, Steelers fans get to brag about their two RC’s. But they’re still behind the Patriots with their three RC’s. The Giants have the only RC in the NFC East. Unless someone can point out a Buccaneer other than Ronde Barber who was there in 2002, then Tampa Bay fans can forget about bragging about RCs.
Bragging on what your team did 20-odd years ago is just sad…following the RC rule eliminates this.
It won’t help the Eagles not suck, though.
Being a New Englander … meaning a Patriots and Red Sox fan … I’m on board with the Relevant Championship rule.
