He pounded his chest and raised his right hand to show his appreciation to the crowd as they gave him a standing ovation during the pregame introduction. And after the Redskins held on for the win, [Redskins coach Mike] Shanahan flipped him the game ball in the locker room.
A team that he gave everything to not only shipped him out-of-town but did so to a division rival. That was Reid saying he had no faith in his QB and he was not afraid to face him two times per season. So yes, there were some feelings involved. See, that right there is why those fans who now hate McNabb must take a step back and look at what transpired during his career. Hey MasterTes!! Let me know when u want to hear the truth!!
When Terrell Owens came to Philadelphia, he did so with a cloud of uncertainty. His time with the San Francisco 49ers did not end well as T. He believed in second chances and believed that his roster of veterans could show Owens there was no need for that. In his first season, everything went smoothly.
Then the issue happened that may have sparked the real showdown between McNabb and Owens. Right before the end of the season, Owens went down with an ankle injury. At that point, some fans lost hope. Without the contributions of Owens, there was no way the offense could score points, let alone make a run at a title, right?
You've got to expect it. Just a little palette cleanser after the Irvin incident. Sort of, because violence against animals is the worst. For whatever reason, the new way to celebrate the playoffs in Philadelphia is by punching horses. And not any horses. Police horses. It's like they were looking for the worst idea in the world and went, "How can I make this dumber?
Horses are terrifying. They're huge, insanely strong, and a kick from them is going to ruin your day. Never mind bucking horses. Fans were bloodied and arrested. For the second time in as many weeks, a fan was arrested for punching a horse, this time a year-old. The first time it happened was arguably even worse.
This fan was ejected from the divisional round game against the Falcons , and was venting his frustration by punching the horse. Presumably, the second time it happened, someone saw him get his 15 minutes and decided he wanted his.
Hope it was worth it! Honestly, we kind of brought this one on ourselves by continually disrespecting the first seed in the NFC. This isn't malicious or bad, it's just super creepy.
Yes, the Eagles lost their starting quarterback in a quarterback-centric league, but it was known that the Eagles were well-rounded. They went in as home dogs against the Falcons, they won. They went in against as home dogs to the Vikings , they won. The fan base can be forgiven for feeling disrespected, but it doesn't make these masks normal. The masks look creepy as heck at the best of times, but perhaps never more so than when the wearer nods their head. It isn't a bad Philly fans list without noting the Phillies fan that vomited on an year-old girl.
To make matters worse, the vomit was self-induced, and it was the daughter of a cop. It's utterly disgusting. And then, of course, there was Game 3 between the Capitals and Flyers in the playoffs. The Flyers scored the first goal of the game, and fans threw wristbands, which they had received to honor their former owner Ed Snider, onto the ice. The game was a fiasco, and fans were begged to stop by players. The Flyers went on to lose Who knows, maybe a championship will allow Philly fans to chill out.
It's unlikely, and the city will likely need to be quarantined if the Eagles do win, but you never do know. Hopefully the dog masks mean that the base is trending towards "creepy" instead of "crazy," but punching police horses is not promising. Please feel free to yell at me in the comments below about "not all Eagles fans" and "all fan bases have these types.
