rival jersey game
 

Ok I know this is gonna hurt, but I thought it would be fun too. If you had to wear a jersey of our division rivals in public, which one would you feel ok wearing? Basically, what player do you admire despite them being a hated rival (current or past)?

Here's mine:

Dallas: Aikman - I always respected the guy, great leader and competitor.

Philly: Westbrook - A mini Marshall Faulk, the guy is so deadly in so many ways

NY: Bavaro - One of my all time favorite non-Redskins players. The guy was just a beast, who can forget this play (check out the hit by Lott later on in the clip too, ouch). As a kid in the backyard I always wanted to be Riggins or Bavaro.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Oh boy, what a thread Matty. Guess I'll play along.

NYG: LT. Coked up or not, the guy was a great linebacker.

Philly: Randall Cunningham..he was the greatest in Tecmo Bowl

Dallas: I'd go with Emmit here, even though I hate every single Cowboy on the face of the earth

Re: rival jersey game
 

Couldn't/wouldn't even consider wearing another teams jersey.

:spank:

Re: rival jersey game
 

i would never wear another teams jersey and definetly not a divison rival. there are players that have played on those teams that i respected but would never wear there jersey.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Dallas - Witten. Just because he's a beast TE.

Philly - God. I can't even think of anyone I remotely like on Philly.

Giants - Manning.. Or for shock value... Burress :D

My fav non-Redskins Jersey to wear right now is Ed Reed with the Ravens though. Every night I curse the fates for not letting us have him on the Skins.

Re: rival jersey game
 

I'd choose an Aikman to..............hang myself...........

Re: rival jersey game
 

Interesting topic.
My favorite non-Skin now is Kerry Collins. Would have liked to see him get a ring this time.

All-time Eagle: B. Mitch or Thrash
Cowboy: Brad Johnson or Babe Laufenberg (I really hate the Cowboys)
Giant: Sam Huff

Wow, I would say the exact same.

LT was revolutionary defender, Cunningham I just always loved to watch, and Emmitt, while dumb as a box of rocks, is a proud Florida Gator like myself.

On the flip side - say you lost a bet to a fan of the division rivals, and you were forced to wear your LEAST favorite player from each team (nauseating, I know).

Mine would be:

Dallas - a toss up between Michael Irvin and TO. Two classless, lousy, me-first assholes.

Philly - McNabb. No doubt about it. I absolutely can't stand the dude. 2nd would be a TO Eagles jersey.

Giants - Eli Manning, with Jeremy Shockey as a VERY close second.

Re: rival jersey game
 

ok, if i had to wear one, or who do i respect?

Dallas:
Current: Marion Barber.

Past: Mel Renfro

NY:
Current: toughest one.... Chris Snee. damn i really hate the giants.

Past: LT Probably the best defensive player in nfl history.

Philly:
Current: McNabb.

Past: Jawarski

Re: rival jersey game
 

I'm gonna go old school on all three...

Philly--Harold Carmichael or Mike Quick. Always secretly liked both of them.

Giants--Phil Simms

Cowboys--This is the tough one. But because of the "California Quake"--the greatest touchdown dance ever--I'll say Butch Johnson...

Re: rival jersey game
 

man what a thread....
I can't imagine ever wearing one but if I was forced to:
Giants-Eli or perhaps LT
Philly-Bill Bergy
Dallas-staubach

now that i have even considered this I must go shower

Re: rival jersey game
 

Eagles: Jurgenson or Monk
Cowboys: Eddie Lebaron
Giants: Sam Huff or B.mitchell

Re: rival jersey game
 

Philly: Brian Dawkins.
Dallas: Moose
NYG: Strahan

Re: rival jersey game
 

Eagles: Brian Dawkins. I've never seen a player play with so much passion, and he's a great leader.

Giants: Phil Simms. Nice guy.

Cowboys: Jay Novacek. Always felt he was under-appreciated, and another good guy.

I can't stand Jawarski, i can't even watch MNF because of him unless im at a bar.

Re: rival jersey game
 

I'll have none of it.
It's hard enough for me to buy a Redskins Jersey the way these guys play.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Cowpukes: Moose Johnson
Philly: Cunningham
G-Men: Phil Simms

Re: rival jersey game
 

Eagles - Dawkins
Giants - LT
Dallas - E Smith

I wish they were all Skins. I admire each of these guys

Great minds think alike, Scud

Re: rival jersey game
 

Eagles - Mike Quick - I would have no problem wearing his jersey, he was quality.

Giants - Sam Huff - Bit of a cop-out this one.

Cowboys - Emmitt Smith - I would have to wear a paper bag over my head with it though.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Interesting thread Matty.. I would require multiple showers afterwards and at least 3 undershirts.. Here goes:
Dallas-Deion. Sorry, but I just loved watching him play and he's always been hilarious to me. Humor trumps all in my world.
NYG-LT probably. I've always hated the Giants more than any other team (yes, even the Cowboys) so it's hard for me to give any of them credit.
Philly-McNabb or I'd go old school to Harold Charmichael. My dad is an Eagles fan and those are his two favorite players so I'll defer to the old man on that one.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Interesting thread... the only way I can do this would be cheating:
Giant: Lavar Arrington
Eagles: James Trash
Dallas: Brad Johnson

interesting you hate the Giants more than Dallas. So do I. Most Skins don't get it.

Re: rival jersey game
 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Reggie White yet, his would be a jersey I would happily wear.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Love this thread

Cowboys: Current-DeMarcus Ware; Past-Ron Springs

Giants: Current-Kevin Boss (c'mon, his last name is Boss!); Past-Lionel Manuel

Eagles: Current-Westbrook (local kid does good); Past-Wilbert Montgomery (I can just say I'm repping Montgomery County, MD)

Re: rival jersey game
 

Living in PA i hate the Eagles more then any other team.

Re: rival jersey game
 

New to the warpath...but I would never consider wearing a rival jersey!! Sorry to be a downer to the thread.

Re: rival jersey game
 

There are some players from our division foes I like...past players not current players because hating the team means hating every player on it's roster... I would never be able to look myself in the mirror after wearing a Giant/Eagle/Cowboy jersey. Just thinking about the idea of putting on something other than Burgundy, White and Gold makes me sick! Disgusting!

[quote=44ever;519511]interesting you hate the Giants more than Dallas. So do I. Most Skins don't get it.[/quote]

I grew up in NY and their fans are OBNOXIOUS! Cowboy fans are amusing because they're just frontrunners and then when they suck their feelings are hurt.

Re: rival jersey game
 

If a GUN were pointed to my head....Giants-LT...Eagles-Seth Joyner...Cowgirls-([I]extreme anxiety[/I]) -Randy White :vomit: I feel dirty... and used.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Cowboys- Neon Deion or Ware
Giants- Brandon Jacobs, this guy is a mean MOFO
Eagles- Brian Westbrook, but it would have to be the old blue and yellow jersey, because if im gonna look like shit it mise well be dog shit.

Re: rival jersey game
 

What a fun we're-not-in-the-playoffs thread. Keep em coming. My picks

Dallas - Aikman. Always respected him.

Philly - Art Monk. I'm still cheering from Canton.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORshuy-MdTk&feature=related]YouTube - 4 Minutes[/url]

G-men - LT. One of the best, no hard feelings, it was twilight of Theismann's career anyway.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ1iVRRu6w0]YouTube - Footballs Greates Injuries- Joe Theismann[/url]

Re: rival jersey game
 

Well if I had too:

NYG - LT, no doubt. That guy is one of my favorite NFL players ever.

Dallas- Aikman.

Philly - I really hate the Eagles, so I'll go Chris Clemons, just because I really liked him when he was with us, and plays for Philly now.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Dallas-Charles Haley
Giants-LT
Eagles-Eric Allen
Honorary mention- Tom Landry-as much as hated that man, I was sad when died.

Nice call on Monk with Philly. Totally forgot about that

Re: rival jersey game
 

Dallas: I'd go with Aikmam for past, and Ware for present because he dominates.
NYG: Past I would go with LT, and present I would go with Tuck because I cant spell Osi's last name.
PHI: Past would be Koy Detmer, present would be Westbrook.

Re: rival jersey game
 

COULDN'T ...WOULDN'T DO IT..... I could only wear Redskins, I'd feel like I was betraying and disrespecting the Skins...

Re: rival jersey game
 

never.

Re: rival jersey game
 

Philly would be Westbrook, just an amazing talent, and seems to be a good guy too.

I am going to cheat on the Giants- my 11 yo son loves Eli :( so he wears that one;

for Dallas, it would be hard to ever really wear one, but for the sake of the game probably Staubach. Hate him as a rival, but was a class act for the game.

Re: rival jersey game
 

While I would never consider it...

Dallas: Randy White (UMD Alum)
NY Giants: Sam Huff or Harry Carson
Philly: Chuck Bednarik
