Why I Hate Eagles More Than Cowboys
 

Random thoughts...I just wanted to share my hatred with others.

They booed Santa Claus at a game.

They cheered while Dallas WR Michael Irvin was lying motionless on the field with what turned out to be a career ending injury.

Since many fans are rowdy at games, Veterans Stadium built a holding cell and courtroom beneath the stadium to deal with arrested fans immediately.

Fans often shout insults at the opposing team's bus as it arrives at the stadium.

They booed the draft selection of QB Donovan McNabb. They now think he is one of the best QB's in the league.

They have a fight song called 'Fly Eagles Fly.'

When Washington Redskin unofficial mascot Chief Zee attended an Eagle home game at the Vet, the fans did not appreciate his taunting. They beat him badly enough that he suffered broken legs and they stripped him to his underwear (1983). In an effort to apologize, the Eagles invited him back the following year when he was accosted by an elderly female fan who threw a drink in his face and said 'You've got a lot of nerve coming up here! We mugged the guy who dressed like that last year! (1984).'

Eagles fans beat a guy unconscious in the restroom and then urinated on him just because he was wearing a Dolphins jacket.

Well, you definitly just fueled my hatred for the Eagles fans. I still hate the Cowboys team more than the Eagles, but I definitly hate Eagles fans more. Ive actaully gotten along well with Cowboys fans at Skisn homegames. We would yell and argue but it was in good fun. Even at FedEx Eagles fans would always be the ones that owuld try to take it up a notch and start throwing shit.

Finally someone has said it. I have so much more hatered for the Eagles than I do the Cowboys, that it's sick. I've been a Redskin fan since 1993, and the Skins v Cowboys rivalry has been garbage, and really I have just hated the Cowboys, because I'm supposed too. The Eagles however, I hate. I hate their fans, I hate their team, I hate their city , I hate them.

ANYONE, I dont care what team they are associated with ( even the skins' ), anyone who beats up, mugs, or does anything to anyone other than some harmless taunting to a fan because they cheer the opposing squad, deserves to be tied up at the 50 yard line and just let all the players on the feild run into them as hard as they can.

Plus the Eagles have been the better team latley, and I hate the way some of them play ( Brian Dawkins ) and some of their stupid celebrations ( D.McNabb).

I agree with you Ramseyfan, I hate the Eagles.

Cowboy fans may be equally stupid and ignorant, but at least they dont go down to the physcial level of Eagles fans.

I too hate the Eagles more than the Cowboys. Our rivalry with the Cowboys is much more respectful. I don't know how to explain it really but Eagles' fans are so classless that it's hard to have any respect for a Redskins-Eagles rivalry.

Chief Zee is actually treated very well in Dallas because one of his best friends is the Cowboys mascot. They stay at each other's homes and hang out in the off-season

The only game that Chief Zee does not go to anymore is the Eagles game in Philly. I talked to him once after a game and he was talking about how there are some fans in other cities that are unruly, but that the Eagles fans take the cake. They're just plain crazy, he said.

THANK YOU RAMSEY FAN!!!!!! I couldn't agree with you more. I hate the eagles 10X more than the cowboys, even though my hate for the 'boys runs deep too. At my college about 80% of the people are from the Philly area and they love the Eagles so I had to take there shit all season last year. Both of my roomates were eagles fans so you know how that had to be, yet my picture of me and LaVar still hung proudly in my room!!!! During the NFC championship game i wore a Panthers Kerry Collins jersey that I had from the year he was drafted (only got it because he was a PSU allumni) and it tormented everyone in my dorm. Reguardless, I was a bit intoxicated and began to tell them that that was there last chance cause next year was OUR year. Luckly, Mr. Snyder helped bring in some people to back my mouth up and they all fear us this upcoming season. Also, on a side note, to show my hate for the Eagles, the first season we picked up Trotter I bought his jersey and wore my old school redskins "R" hat with the jersey while I walked down south street and through the King of Prussia Mall just to be a dick.

my hatred for the cowboys, eagles and giants r all close to each other in strength but my hatred for the eagles and their fans has been on the rise the past few years. i detested michael irvin as a player and somewhat as a person but when the eagle fans cheered his injury that was disgusting. And booing santa claus? what's up with that? it's pretty pathetic how they can boo ____(pick a phili team) for nearly an entire game but if they win, they act like they were behind the team the entire time. I've really hated the giants fans since the game against the chargers where some of the fans were throwing snow/ice balls onto the field and the chargers sideline when one hit one of the coaches in the back of the head and knocked him out. the only time cowboy fans have really bothered me is when they open their mouths and start talking. they aren't so bad when they're quiet. some other teams whose fans r so annoying that i hate them r the jets and the duke blue devils.

I agree with what everyone has said about Eagles fans and can completely understand your positions, but I'll never hate another team more than I hate the Cowboys. Ever.

It's the age difference and what you've seen has completely SUCKED, but a lot of you haven't seen the Cowboys rivalry at it's craziest and best, and it's the stuff that'll always make me hate the Cowboys the most...

1. RFK Stadium ROCKING. The entire structure would physically rock. The entire place chanting "We Want Dallas" the week before a home game with them, regular season or playoffs. The phrase "Dallas Week" used to mean EVERYTHING.

2. George Allen never called the them "the Dallas Cowboys". He always called them "the damn Dallas Cowboys".

3. In the late 70's, early 80's new Redskins were told by veteran players that in preparing to play the Cowboys, they were to pretend they were "going against the Iranians".

4. The trading of a black funeral wreath back and forth between Harvey Martin and the Redskins the week before that final regular season game in 1979. We went into the game tied with 10-5 record and the game would decide the NFC East title and playoff birth. We lost in the final seconds 35-34, finished 10-6 and were out of the playoffs. I still hate Tony Hill to this day.

And oh yeah, in the first game earlier that season, Pardee sent Moseley out to try a field goal with nine seconds left in regulation. We were already ahead by eleven at the time. :D

5. The '82 NFC Championship game. This was a bigger win than the Super Bowl that year to me (I was 11). My best friend growing up was a Cowboys fan and that win meant everything at that age! That's probably my all time favorite Redskins game.

Philly fans do suck. But in the end, I honestly don't care if we go 2-14 as long as we beat the Cowboys twice.

[QUOTE=Dave Butz Baby!]Philly fans do suck. But in the end, I honestly don't care if we go 2-14 as long as we beat the Cowboys twice.[/QUOTE]

Been saying that for years. Nothing is worse than losing to the cowboys.

DBB, all the points you mentioned strongly point out why Redskins-Cowboys is a much stronger rivalry than Skins-Eagles. I remember back in the 1980s when the rivalry meant something. It was two teams usually battling for the top spot, setting everything aside and getting down to business on the field. But there was a certain level of respect from both sides. You know what I mean? I have a few friends who are hard core Cowboy fans and they used to get on me after a Cowboys win and I get on them after a Redskins win (few and far between) but with Eagles fans it's different. They have no respect and that's why I hate their team more

By the way, would you really be happier with 2-14 with two wins over the cowboys than 14-2 with two losses to the Cowboys? Remember several years back when the Redskins needed the Cowboys to beat the 49ers in the last game of the season to make the playoffs? I remember it being torturous (is that a word?) having to root for the Cowboys.

[QUOTE=smootsmack]By the way, would you really be happier with 2-14 with two wins over the cowboys than 14-2 with two losses to the Cowboys? [/QUOTE]


:cussing:

:httr:

Smootsmack, I totally agree with your point. But I think you said the key word there... I have no [i]respect[/i] for the Eagles or their fans, but my [i]hatred[/i] for Dallas is unsurpassed.

Since you put me on the spot, I gotta stick to my guns and say "Yes!". I'd rather have two wins over the Cowboys at 2-14 than go 14-2 with two Cowboy losses. ;)

I'll never forget the crap I caught from friends/Dallas fans the year they went 1-15. I had a few of them tell me that they wouldn't trade that win for any other.. even the Super Bowl. I can see their point.

Hehehe.. and yeah, "rooting" for the Cowboys is a painful experience!

I just want to chime in with MY hatred. Anyone who was a fan during the 70's could NEVER hate ANY other team as much as those Cowboy B*stards. Those damned ugly STARS, and the term AMERICA's TEAM make me PUKE. I agree with everything that was said about the classless, slimeball, Philly fans. The fools even boo the hell out of their own team, for God's sake!!! They are losers. But that is the fans. Nothing can ever overtake the the Cowboys at the top of my sh*t list. The following names bring horrific thoughts:
Harvey Martin
Clint Longley
Danny "Crybaby" White
LANDRY!!
Tony Dorsett
Walt Garrison....... Walt Garrison???

Ahhhhhhh - just one thought of that play by Kenny Houston brings me back to beautiful, peaceful thoughts. And DaveButzBaby, thank you SO much for bringing back the memory of "WE WANT DALLAS" in the rocking RFK stands!!!! I sure miss those wonderful times at the stadium.

To me it has always been Dallas. I posted something about the rivalry no longer being the premier one in the NFL, and I don't think it is, but that's due more to the Skins being down than anything else. Most of my favorite games were the ones where we beat the Cowboys. The '93 game when we opened the season beating the defending champs 35-13. The '86 game when we beat them 41-14. And the '82 championship game when we beat the 'Boys to go to the Super Bowl was extra sweet. Even the worst losses, like the winless 'Boys team beating us in '89.

The beer is always better after we beat the Cowboys. And I'm looking for some good cold beer on Sept. 27 on MNF.

Since we are on this subject, I have to relate a story. It was 1992, and Kathi and I were in Atlantic City hosting our first NFSL Convention. My cousin and his wife (Barre and Carol - in their 40's/50's) were there. A few customers had arrived, and we were sitting around a table having a drink. I had warned one of the customers (John Ratti from Detroit) that she was one of the most emotional Redskin fans he would ever meet. Of course, he had just met all of us for the first time. He decided to bait her and made some comment about "America's Team". Well, Carol (who does not usually cuss), bolts to her feet in a rant. She started with something like "Those Sons of B*tches!!! Who decided those B*stards are AMERICA'S TEAM???" I don't remember all of her rant, which went on and on, but will never forget the scene. It was a RIOT, with John sitting there shocked not knowing what to say, and Carol red in the face in her rant. We laughed our asses off at that one. John is a regular at the conventions, but needless to say, he does not use that expression around Carol any more. LOL

I hate the Cowboys with a passion, one that I just don't have for the Eagles. Yes, watching McNabb prance around in the ednzone makes me cough bile, but the Cowboys? I can't root for them under any circumstance.

The Eagles are on the way down. This season should see them under .500.

Coach Gibbs has a dislike of the Cowboys that renews my faith in the team beating them. I vote for running up the score and dancing on the Star at the end of the game. Of course I won't be the player out there risking life and limb to do this.

i have family that went to the vet. They said the fans are horrible. In the higher decks, eagles fans would piss over the edge onto the lower decks on opponents fans. Thats just sickening

I pity any people who act like Neanderthals, but if you let yourself hate them then they win. The worst thing you can do to people like that is to NOT hate them - just smile. They feed off the hate. Then you don't lower yourself, they get confused as hell, and it feels to them, to quote St. Paul, like burning coals have been poured on their heads.

Shane, what??? This is a FOOTBALL rivalry we are talking about, not Love Thy Neighbor. That's like watching Alabama and Auburn fans sitting side-by-side embracing during a game LOL.

theres a point where ppl need to realize its a damn game though, and not piss on opposing fans, and not beat the hell out of them. Thats ridiculous.

Well, now you are back talking about the fans. Pissing on people is not just ridiculous. It is disgusting and subhuman. And being drunk (which they probably were) is no excuse. I hate the Cowboys. But I never pissed on them LOL. (And I don't know anyone who has).

I have to say the Eagle fans are an embarrasment to all of us fans. Fans are to cheer for their team and let the compitition and fighting be on the field of play.

A friend of my wife's was nearly beaten to death and left for dead at the home game where the cops used tear gas. Beaten almost to death? Are you kidding me? At a a GAME?!?!?!?!?!??!

They should be ashamed.

peace

<><

well, there is at least one good thing about the Eagles.... the idiots traded Sonny Jurgensen to the Skins!

Philly definitely has the most classless fans in all of sports, but I still would rather beat the Cowboys over the Eagles anyday.

im with you Mattyk72. A lot of people keep saying how the Skins/Cowboys rivalry isnt there anymore, but I dont agree with that at all. I get more pumped up for Cowboys games then any other, and the fact they hvae gotten the better of us in recent years only fuels it more fo rme. If we had beaten them ten straight I dont think people would be saying its not the same anymore. Yea it used to be we would always split no matter what, but times change and with Gibbs being back its going ot make it even more exciting. Expecially with his most rivaled coach now with dallas.

Absolutely, Canes. And we are not the only ones aware of that. Otherwise, the Cowgirls would not still be in the NFL "EAST" after the recent reorg.

Don't forget the game where the Eagles knocked out the Washington QB's, forcing Brian Mitchell to take over.

I hate the Eagles with a passion. Not only are they rude to other team fans but they're also rude to their players and coaches. After the first three games of last season Eagle fans were saying that McNabb was washed up and Andy Reid should quit football. McNabb is over-rated but I don't think he deserved the comments he got from his own "fans." And Andy is one hell of a coach... My dream would be for Thrash to run back a punt or a pass for the winning touchdown at the Linc. That would be choice!

I am aware of the history between the Boys and Skins, but that "rivalry" has been so weak lately (as has been pointed out), that I care far less about that one than the one between the Eagles and Skins. The Eagles have had our number lately, their fans suck, T.O. sucks, I hate their dances, I hate their stupid city, and so I hate the Eagles a lot more than the Boys.

At a certain point, tradition falls by the wayside as new traditions are created. The Eagles are the team to be in the NFC East and until someone knocks them off their perch, I hate them more than the Giants or the Boys.

I actuallly feel bad for Reid. Can you imagine trying to work in that crappy environment? I guess I feel really bad, because he missed his chance. Andy is good, but he is not Gibbs. Sorry Andy. You do get a consultation prize. Learning from the master.

I must say while I think that the Eagles fans are scum I still hate the cowboys more.I was at the eagles skins MNF tear gas game sitting behind one of the end zones.Whenever one of the eagles fans would start flapping his gums I would just remind him that the eagles needed to win a ring before he could talk trash.However, like I said, the cowboys are still at the top of my list.Especially since we lost to them last year on my birthday(Nov.4).That one really hurt.

What is comes down to is we need to win in the NFC east for the first time in years. 1-5 just doesnt cut it. If we win four games in the east this year ill be soooo happy, if we win five or six then we'll be in the superbowl in my opinion. Sweeping in this division is never easy.

No kidding. When was the last time we did sweep the division? I don't remember it ever happening in my lifetime. But I agree. Whoever wins the NFC East should go to the SB. Except the Eagles. They'll choke again.

The Eagles have had an impressive run or attempts to make it to the superbowl. Im hoping that it was three stikes and theyre out. I hope they dont even make the playoffs this year. They always made it there by getting rid of big players and by not signing big playesr, well now that they signed two of the biggest names in free agency I hope it messes up their whole system and Reid loses control over the players.

I hate the Eagles ( and man, do I hate the Giants!), but in the end, the cowboys are by far the worst.

Look, as y'all have pointed out, the Eagle fans are a bunch of raving neanderthals. Plus, they've never won the SB, and have choked in the last three NFC championships. They are there own worst enemies, and they expect to lose. That's why they are always ready to boo the home team. It's pathetic, really. One of my all time favorite Gibbs wins is the playoff game where he beat Buddy Ryan's Eagles like 19-7, and just dominated the game. That was pretty much the end of Buddy in Philly, and that avenged the so-called body-bag game. We've got 3 SB trophys, and they have a jail IN THEIR STADIUM. How sad is that? They just don't worry me that much, even now.

But the Cowboys, I can't even think of them without getting worked up. They (the team, the fans, the city, the whole state, much of the country) think they are America's team, destined to win. They are smug and arrogant and over confident and, well, you get the idea. Look, they are the cowboys, we are the indians, as per the classic Western movies. They are our enemies!It's time for the Little Big Horn, or something! (Not to be politically incorrect, but that's what a 5 year old boy will think, and that's about when I got into this thing...)

Like Joe Gibbs, the sight of that blue star makes me sick. :rant:

[QUOTE=manicd]No kidding. When was the last time we did sweep the division? I don't remember it ever happening in my lifetime. But I agree. Whoever wins the NFC East should go to the SB. Except the Eagles. They'll choke again.[/QUOTE]

I think the only team to sweep the division was the '94 Cowboys, they went 8-0 and I remember a lot of noise about them being the first team to sweep the NFC East. Just glancing at some of our past SB teams we've always dropped a game or two here or there.

We should definitely be competitive and while beating Philly would be cool, but beating Dallas is a heckuva lot more gratifying.
