Over the years, Philadelphia fans have booed Santa Claus, their own star players, and most absurdly, the recipient of America's very first hand transplant, whose crime was dribbling in a ceremonial first pitch -- thrown with his freshly transplanted hand. Boooo!

Admittedly, there are some things fans have cheered. Like Michael Irvin's career-ending neck injury and a fan being tased on the outfield grass. Things reached their nadir last season, when Citizens Bank Park played host to arguably the most heinous incident in the history of sports: A drunken fan intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl.

LOLz. Sounds like a POS to me.

I was balls deep into wanting him here. Don't think I do anymore.

Worst fans?

Hardly.

Maybe bandwagon fans.

No, those weren't his fault, but the fact is that he always completely panicked come playoff time and did stupid, unnecessary shit like challenging an obvious fumble, running onto the field to throw a tantrum because he thought the Jets should have been called for roughing the punter, and randomly playing Grbac over Gannon when the Chiefs had been winning with Gannon. Those are on him. He also ALWAYS became overconservative in the playoffs and loved to settle for the most maddening field goal tries ever (e.g. making Kaeding kick a 47-yarder on 4th-and-11 in the first quarter against the Pats).

In fact, his on-field tantrum in '04 was possibly the worst coaching decision I've ever seen in a playoff game. The Chargers could have won that game simply if Marty kept his mouth shut instead of drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that set up a Jets touchdown. Hell, that was a win even WITH Marty's tantrum if he had nutted up down the stretch instead of running LT over and over again for no gain and leaving the game in the hands of a rookie kicker.

I think it's abundantly clear that if you want to win playoff games, Marty is not the coach for you.

When you have to set up a holding cell inside the stadium, you have ****ing problems.

I've been to that stadium several times. I watched tons of obnoxious fans spit on people with the other team's jersey, heckle a 5 year old, and follow women into the restroom to yell at them because they are an opposing team's fan.

Media hype.

Oh, so you're authority then. My bad. I'll defer to you.

It's not like my family has had season tickets for 15 years or anything.

doesn't really change my POV. if he goes 3 years around the same level that Reid was the last 6+, he'll be crucified.

That cell was designed for the drunken assholes in the 700 level. It's been over 10 years. Get over it.

We don't have a holding cell. I've seen worse at sporting events around the country.

You are clearly a trusted authority on the subject, though. I'll bow to you.

And hilariously, after 20+ years of attending sporting events of all kinds in Philly, I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. Nothing even close. That includes having tickets in the 700 level at the Vet.

The truth is this: All told, Philadelphia stadiums house the most monstrous collection of humanity outside of the federal penal system. "Some of these people would boo the crack in the Liberty Bell," baseball legend Pete Rose once said. More likely, these savages would have thrown the battery that cracked it.

let me guess.. media hype...

Yes, I'm an authority on asshole Eagle fans because the 10 times I've been in that stadium there was an overwhelming majority of you.

I guess they put court rooms and holding cells in all stadiums now though, right?

Tired of a coach who kept getting their team close to a championship only to lose late in the season, the Eagles have hired Chip Kelly.

Not true at all. People were at the end with AR I'd say after the 2008 season. We had seen enough. He is 1-5 in games that matter. I want happiness more than 20% of the time.
