It
warms my heart when people from different areas of the country can come
together, share a competitive experience, and part ways with a sense of
brotherhood and love. So I was pleased to read that after their successful trip
into Philadelphia on Sunday, the Redskins had just the nicest things to say
about Eagles fans.
The Washington Post's Dan Steinberg passes along some of the compliments that Redskins players had on Eagles fans and their class, refinement, and ability to pelt a team bus with eggs.
"It was crazy, though, because the egg was actually thrown in front of the bus," [wide receiver Malcom] Kelly said. "It was like a quarterback almost; you throw it to where the receiver's gonna be at. I was very impressed."
"Very impressed," [wide receiver Devin] Thomas agreed. "If they ever had a replacement [team] in Philly, they'd have to get that dude for quarterback, because he hit that thing on point."
And that's not all! Some of the older Philadelphia women were nice enough to show the Redskins their bare old lady tailpipes.
"Grandma's mooning you," Jon Jansen said.
"Oh yeah, definitely," [center Casey] Rabach said.
"I've had some old ladies moon us, oh yeah," Jansen said.
"It's hard to tell from the backside, to tell you the truth," Rabach said.
"Oh, you can tell," Jansen said. "When it's an old lady, you can tell."
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't good at anything, people of Philadelphia. Your egging and old lady can have earned national attention. You're all your own very special versions of Rocky, only you don't knock people out with your fists, you use eggs and wrinkled buttock flesh.

Oh yea, most of the Philly fans are just rednecks.

The Philly "Horrible Fan" thing has turned into a ESPN media kind of thing. Idiots across the country hear about it so they blow things that happen at any NFL stadium out of proportion.
I'll bet that when I where my McNabb jersey at the game in San Fransisco this weekend the same things will happen.

I know you're feeling your oats after winning a few games this year, but settle down and shut up because your team is still weak and your writing is childish. You seem to be more suited to covering dog shows and not football.

Well, atleast the Redskins breaklines were ok.

I love the night life, I love to boogie on the disco floor and I love to dance. When I watch football, I love to glue popcorn kernels to the end of my privates and stick it over the fire. It burns a little bit but it taste great. My man pies get a little warm also, but it sure ain't licking poop. I like to jump in the air real high and kick my left leg up and yell, Whoopie. I think I have to change my underwear now cause I left a hefty donkey poop and it smells like a hefty donley poop. Life is great and it reminds me of the time we spent in Paris. Way back when, when men where men and sheep knew it. Bill Bixby rules!
LMAO...THANKS MR PICKLES FOR THAT GREAT LAUGH YOU GAVE ME...GO SKINS!!
