Bob Cos I think the Eagle/'skins rivalry must go back to something I remember as a kid growing up around D.C.
If I remember right, there were these two quarterbacks named Norm Snead and Sonny Jurgensen. I think they were involved somehow. 
First off, since this is The Pit, I’ll say “we already played the Body Bag game, and won.”
Then, I’ll say that I went to a rival high school of Irvin’s down in Ft. Lauderdale and he’s a cock-sucker who deserves what he gets. And, if he paralyses himself while trying to make an illegal play (spearing), then so be it.
But, since this is the SDMB, I’m going to have to ask you to cite which Eagles player that was that said that. I live down in DC, too, and I pay a lot of attention when my Eagles play the Skins, and I sure don’t remember hearing that quote on the TV, or in the Post.

Screw my “no comment” comment!

Montfort You got it backwards. Irvin wasn’t trying to make an illegal play. Maybe an eagle was and missed. The replay showed that that no one did anything wrong. It was just a freak play.

speakeasy:
Jesus Fucking Christ. Please re-read my statements again, such as these (from this very thread! SHEESH!)
If can’t tell who I am supporting and who I’m not, I don’t even know why I am bothering to respond to you. I’ll spell it out for you, n i c e a n d s l o w :
I’m not defending the asshole fans. I am defending a sport fan’s right to vocalize his displeasure in a poor performance on the field. The OP and lucky’s posts make it sound like all sporting fans should be like golf crowds. I’m saying there is a happy medium that can be found.
Now, for weirddave:
We loved kicking the shit out of Art Modell’s little brown puppies when they were still in Cleveland. Why do you think they got the hell out of Dodge???
Just because you take a crappy b-Team and move them to a new city and slap new uniforms on them, contenders they do not make. You can put lipstick and a dress on a log of shit, but it is still a log of shit.
And before you start spouting off about Shannon Sharpe, let me tell you he doesn’t scare me one bit. Levon Kirkland (at 40 pounds heavier) can stay with him step for step, and I can’t WAIT until Captain Kirk gets an open shot at Sharpe running a little slant route. Mmmmmm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I hated the putz when he was in Denver and I’m actually glad your sorry team signed him, so the black and gold can whip him around like the bitch that he is.
And Rod Woodson?? hee hee. Plaxico Burris will run circles around that old man. You better start a grassroots movement to save his knees, cause they won’t hold up on their own for much longer.
Holy shit, I just realized I shouldn’t be talking shit here…Ray Lewis might be reading! Tell him to keep the goon squad off of me, mmmkay?
I can see we’re gonna get to know each other and be great friends this season! 
And I notice you did such a good job of that last year against an expansion team!
Sure. But that’s fine. While your one quality linbacker is covering Sharpe, Ben Coates will be catching 10-15 yard crossing patterns all day long. Works for me.
I’ll take Rod Woodson in a wheelchair with his knowledge over a rookie any day. Dosen’t matter, 'cuz Chris McAlister will be the person covering Burris like a blanket, if we even bother. Why cover the recievers when y’all have a quarterback who’s made, what is it now, two?? completions in three preseason games? We probobly won’t even bother to send the secondary onto the field.
Absolutely! And I promise not to crow TOO much after our victories.
Excuse me while I pick myself up off of the floor from laughing so hard. Please allow me to introduce you to #92, Jason Gilden. I’m sure you’ll wish you had never been introduced.
Actually, if you give him a wheelchair, he might be a bit faster…
Actually he went 5 for 7 in the opener against Dallas, IIRC. Even so, with a beefed up offensive line and a healthy Fuamatu-Ma’afala, even a mediocre QB is going to put our offense in much better shape than we were last year. And if he completely sucks again this year, We picked up Kent Graham. You might laugh at that, but, what, am I supposed to cringe at the mighty 1-2 punch of Tony Banks and Trent Dilfer? Now THAT is funny.
We well see, my friend, we will see. You know your season opener is in 3RS, don’t you? The talk will soon become meaningless. Keep up your delusional faith in the Ravens, I actually think it’s kind of cute.
And (so I’ve heard), that Crow will taste mighty good sautéed in butter sauce. Just something you might want to keep in mind when you are wallowing in misery at 3:45 p.m. on September 3rd.

It wasn’t a player but a fan. I remember seeing what appeared to be a local Philly news station interviewing a bunch of drunken boors at a local watering hole.
And since this post has now veered off so far away from the OP and is now just a sound off for your local team, all I can say is that while you all are at home watching the Superbowl on TV, I’ll be uhhh… watching the Superbowl from my TV but I’ll be watching my team… the Redskins.
That wasn’t too good but you know what I mean.
The funny thing about the garden-variety drunken asshole baseball expert is that most of them have NO CLUE how to manage a baseball game. Notice I didn’t say “play a position”, because many of them have. But there’s a big difference between playing right field in the beer leagues and managing a professional baseball team. These yahoos are yelling about shit they will never understand, as the strategy of the game is beyond them, at least in their current frame of mind.
Frankly, I don’t feel the need to boo the opposing team. If they hadn’t shown up, I’d be out miniature golfing or something. I want a great game, not a hometown homerun derby. I’d rather see a killer 2-1 pitchers’ duel any day. But that certainly makes me a minority among today’s fans.
It’s not about team spirit, drinking at games, or anything else. It’s about knowing how to behave in a public place. I try to make my behavior appropriate to my surroundings. My occasional vocal outburst will be very different depending on whether I’m at a ball game SURROUNDED by people my own age, or if there are kids close by. I only wish people were that considerate when MY KID is at a game. I took my son to an Angels/Yankees game last week, oh my goodness! What an event!
But no pissing in a paper cup that I noticed…
Ok, I gotta share this story. I know this forum is “The Pit”, so I’ll first say “Poop on all of you!”.
Anyway, my wife and I were at a major league game. A father and son were behind us. Pitch comes in, a 87 mph fast ball.
Father: “Jeez. Rag arm.”
Son: "RAAAAG ARRRMMM.
Next pitch, another fast ball, 90 MPH
Father: “What a rag arm this guy has.”
Son: "RAAAAG ARRRMMM.
Next pitch, change up. 70 mph or so. You know, slow.
Father: “Holy cow, what a rag arm.”
Son: "RAAAAG ARRRMMM.
See – they breed these people.
