The same thing with Ray Rhodes. When Rhodes was fired the Green Bay GM Ron Wolf was quoted in SI it was the fans fault and Rhodes was a great coach. The next season the Packers hired Rhodes. Six games into the season the Packers were ready to fire Rhodes.
PS. The moral of the story, if Philly fans booed Santa then he deserved to be booed. He was probably a drunkin Billy Bob Thorton bad Santa.
The Santa incident happened in the 60's when the team was like 0-12. The Eagles then won the last two games to blow the O.J. Simpson pick.

Woah, you may want to re-read my statement, because I was saying that Philly's reputation isn't deserved. Again, I said that "I don't think the reality is nearly as bad as the reputation." Thus, I said I don't really believe the reputation (which is the perception outside of Philly); I just think their fans are no worse than fans in New York or Boston or other cities that are crazy about sports.
People say the same thing about Boston (Fenway in particular) and NY (Yankee Stadium in particular) without having ever been there or having been to a game. I've seen Yankees fans treated well in Fenway, and Sox fans treated well in Yankee Stadium.
Again, I think you misread my statement. The reputation is what it is - I was saying that it's not correct.

It's correct if you put a Penguins jersey on the statue of Rocky Balboa.
Flyers fans didn't really like that. Penguins fans kinda got their butts kicked.

Wrong. Erie splits down the middle between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, with maybe a little bit of sway to the Bills and other out-of-state teams. That goes for both Football and Baseball (ever see Browns and Steelers fans living next door to each other? Not pretty). They don't fight about hockey because they have their own OHL team (which is pretty good), Cleveland doesn't have an NHL team (so the Pens win by default), and hockey isn't that big a sport in Erie anyway.
With three NFL football teams and two Major League baseball teams within two hours, who gives a crap about Philly, which is seven hours away?

Did anyone see the Steelers/Ravens game? Who was cheering as Willis McGahee was being carted off the field? I guess those people were all from Erie.
