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.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (17h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
