The Irvin incident really wans't true but most people are too stupid to check their facts. Irvin was hit going over the middle. The fans cheered. Irvin didn't get up and the place went silent.

You know the reputation? Does that mean you have been to an event in Philly you haven't? I bet you haven't and all you really know is what you heard from the Monday Night Morons. I remember when we had Rich Kotite and the idiots sports writers around the country said Philly was being too tough on Kotite. That moron Dan Dierdorf said, "all Kotite ever does is win."
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.

Back to Philly, we New Yorkers got nothing when it come to hostility toward anybody who isn't party of the Philly sport's world. It's probably being bitter.

What a load of crap. Didn't NY cheer when Chad Pennington was hurt? As NY radio host Joe Boningo WFAN 660 said, at least Philly only cheers when the other teams players get hurt.

Does anyone remember when the Giants played the Chargers after a snow storm? Wasn't someone on the sideline carted off after being hit with and iceball?

Lets not forget the fact that NY Mets fans booed Carlos Delgado. He was a candidate for MVP and they were booing him.

My favorite was the the Knicks fans last season. They were booing Isiah Thomas the entire season. It was hilarious. 20,000 people chanting that Isiah must go.

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.

Pittsburgh fans would never boo Palin right? http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,2805553.story

That's Erie. And she should have known that A. There is more than one baseball team in Pennsylvania, and B. Erie is completely across the state from Philadelphia.

C. Erie is Pittsburgh fans and zero Philly fans.

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.
