So Pats fans

[Sea Dangles]

David Wells was a nobody in this town.He should not be mentioned in the same breath as the other three.Larry can hate on Moss as is typical of home grown fans but nobody would be in love with Welker without Moss making him famous,not to mention,open.What we saw three seasons ago was historic and record breaking and at the time we were all in awe.

What did I miss three years ago?
So because they double cover moss it let the middle, short receiver become famous? woodward, welker and hernandaz would beg to differ, or are you know going to say because they double cover welker?

I don't miss Moss either and it was time to go but SD has a legitimate point. Everyone gets Felger brainwashed and forgets that Randy contributed to one of the greatest seasons in NFL history. We were on top and he was one of the biggest reasons. If they could have brought Manning all the way down and avoided that catastrophy you would have all be be lining up to blow him (Ronnie excluded).

Can't wait for Monday Night.

Chris I do not think I even broached stating that I hated Moss?? Pretty sure my only comment was that I did not miss him and that we never won a Superbowl with him so not that big a deal? I loved having him here, he was awesome and if you go back on my past posts about him....I was a fan. When his attitude soured.....so did I. That tirade he had in Minnesota after the Pats game.....pretty classless.

BTW.....Moss is not here to help Welker now and he is doing the same things he was before Moss left? As I said...Brady and Welker stir the drink now just as they did before!

deon branch is doing well on the long bombs (again)

hernandez keeps : saving the day

woodhead has been impressive

green ellis phenomenal power

but what was even sweeter than "no randy"

was: vinaterri not being able to kick the last
feild goal and win the game for the ponies

The Roger Pedro comparison is notable,but if you take their three best years in a Sox uniform,history dictates Pedro was superior.Bob Gibson was the only pitcher mentioned in the same breath.
To mention the Boston fans in the same breath as Philly and New York is akin to making my point for me.Definitely not the category I want to be involved with,but the crown will always rest on the head of the town that booed Santa.

Once again no one knows what they're talking about...

Just to set the facts straight:

That incident happened in a game where the Eagles were being whooped by the Vikings... The 60's, I think. Horrible weather, wind chill, ice, slush, etc... Yet still >50,000 people showed up to watch a 2-11 team (what was the attendance at Pats games before they hit the great era they're in now? ). Eagles started strong, but by the half they were getting thoroughly outplayed by the Vikes. The halftime show was supposed to be a big deal with a sleigh riding Santa, cheerleader elves, etc etc... But the 'official' Santa never showed up. Plus, the weather & field made it so that none of the scheduled floats & fanfare could enter, they got stuck. So, instead, the entertainment director asked a drunk, 170 lb fan in a ragged Santa costume to parade around the field, which really teed the fans off. So they serenaded him with snowballs.

So to set it, once and for all: Philly fans didn't boo Santa, they threw snowballs at him.

We booed the Easter bunny

You might want to check your facts. Sea Dangles is actually right. While the fans did throw snowballs, they were booing, too. And if you look it up, you'll see that the guy playing Santa (Frank Olivo) wasn't drunk. It's one of those urban myths probably started by some drunk Eagle fan who wasn't even at the game. Check out "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book" if you want some good stories about Philly fans.

Sorry, poor choice of words, "didn't boo"... Just irks me that people always say 'they booed santa', when the snowball throwing is clearly the important (and hilarious) facet of the story.

Olivo says he wasn't drunk, but Cataldi interviewed a bunch of people who were at the game, and they said that he was staggering around (even before the barrage started). The Eagles PR director even said he thought he was drunk (gotta love Snopes).

Plus, who shows up to a 20-30 degree game in a one-layer santa suit at a football game and isn't drunk?
