Philadelphia sports fans always claim they get a bad rap. Sure, they can be boorish. But so are fans in New York and Boston![img_r]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/packerfancar.jpg[/img_r]

Eagles fans got so upset Sunday about their unfair stereotype that they had to take it out on something, like the car of a Packers fan.

A Wisconsin native that now works in Pennsylvania as a college professor attended the Eagles-Packers game with his father. His Toyota Camry was stomped on, kicked and beaten. Mirrors were broken, wipers torn out, and dents made on the hood, trunk, and roof.

When I left Green Bay everyone said to be careful the Philadelphia fans have a reputation, Peter Coenen (the father) told the Morning Call of Lehigh Valley. My son had a Green Bay Packers shirt on. As we drove in, they gave us the finger.

Oh, we didnt realize the guy had a Packers shirt on. Dude was asking for it.

No surprise there. Ya'll bitch about Viking fans.. Philly takes the cake. I remember dealing with them in the playoffs a few years ago (the game that almost got blacked out). To say they are classless is a broad generalization. And a huge understatement.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I went to the link of the original article and I like how the philly fans in the comments were trying to defend themselves by saying 'other teams do this' or he shouldnt wear packers colors at our home or crap like that ...

When I seen we play Denver, I was hoping it was going to be here (Denver) and you damn well better believe I'd have been wearing Packers gear. I feel its my right as a fan and I'd expect some ribbing and that's fine, but to physically harm someone or something of theirs, that's just cowardly. I also am confident nothing would happen here, everyone is pretty laid back.

Sadly for me, the game is at Lambeau Field.

I was in Philly for the opener and I was wearing my Finley jersey when I checked into the hotel, and the lady asked me at the desk if I planned on wearing that out to the bar and of course I said yes. She then warned me to stay away from certain bars and If I had an emergency contact I wanted to leave. That is no lie I was like wtf, but I was smart I stayed away from those bars lol. On Monday I did go to a bar where they were actually doing a live Eagles radio show and they were all decent to me and even asked if I thought Vick should start for them. Of course I said no because we had a better chance with Kolb playing the full year 🙂 But not all fans are that bad, but then again they do have their own jail and judge at the stadium for a reason.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

There are jerks everywhere. But it seems from all reports that there is a higher percentage in Philly........the city of "brotherly love". LOL!

I almost had to fight my way out of the stadium in Tampa TWICE.

The thing is we lost both times.

I mean I could not believe these people. I guess I can understand tampa fans somewhat because they don't know how to act when the win since it doesn't happen much.

I don't get Philly. They ought to be better than that.

Only problem I ever had was in Chicago.. but that was only beer dumping and some light physical stuff.. no one destroyed any of my belongings.

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
