On another thread you insulted me personally, now you're making rude comments about "finding a free bowl of soup." You seem to me to be the epitome of an arrogant and classless fan, yet you bemoan Eagles fans for being classless.
"I brag because I have been to city-wide championship parades, and seen trophies carried past me by championship teams, four times since 2001."
And this is a new year and hun, your Pats haven't been playing all that well. Let me remind you that the Eagles and the Pats have the same record - 3 and 2. On top of that, your two losses were BY MORE POINTS than our two losses were. Your 2 losses to Carolina and San Diego were worse than our 2 losses to Dallas and Atlanta. The Patriots have lost two games by a total of 34 points and won 3 games by a total of 16 points. The Eagles on the other hand have lost their two games by 27 points but won their three games by nearly 50 points.
"Philly fans, on the other hand, brag despite failing to accomplish this over and over and over and over again. Philly fans have won nothing - nada, zip, dot, scoreboard, zilch - and yet they brag anyway."
Excuse me? We've won "nothing"? We are the NFC Champions and we've won our division the last 4 years (I think, it may even be more). How can you say that we've "won nothing?" How absolutely rude and factually incorrect. Do you think the Patriots are the only team to have ever won anything? My God, there are at least 5 other teams in the NFL who could beat the Patriots (and many have beaten the Patriots). I am not negating the fact the Pats won the SB but by talking to you one would think the Pats were 5 and 0 and the only team that matters in the entire league. I am just floored by your arrogance here. I can't believe that given the horrific losses the Pats have had this season you're still putting everyone else down like this.
"I can understand your intense frustration complicating your thinking processes. It happens."
Yet another not-so-thinly veiled insult. I just do not understand why you're being so nasty. Am I disappointed with our loss? Absolutely! But surely you remember your loss to San Diego which was a loss of this calibre...so why not have a little dignity and understanding instead of hurling more insults (many of which are completely untrue)?
"But when the above poster refers to the Eagles as "the champs," a correction must be made."
I believe he/she was referring to the Eagles being the NFC CHamps. With you incessantly bragging anad reminding us, it is impossible for any of us to forget the Patriots are the Super Bowl champs.
"It simply isn't true, and all the bragging and wishing and online sniping won't make it true. You have to win something before you can brag."
Again, we have won out division the last several years and won the NFC Championships last year. THAT is winning a little more than "just something" and you need to stop insisting that the Eagles win "nothing." It just isn't right that you must keep putting other teams and other teams' fans down. We have every right to love our team the same as you.
"Right now, however, your team is simply a collection of frustrated also-rans who got beat when the chips were down (thank Andy Reid for that excellent clock management). That's the way it is, and all the big talk won't change that."
I don't recall you tolerating ANY of that talk after the Pats got spanked by San Diego. YOU were in our position just a week ago, so one would think you'd calm yourself down a bit and have some understanding for fans who just had a difficult loss. I should have known better. Were you "big talking" when you said it was just a bad game for the Pats and they'd bounce back? No, you said it because every team has a bad loss every year. This was ours. We'll regroup, reevaluate and be back.
No offense, but if your tone and attitude is what it means to be a champion, then I sincerely hope my Eagles are never champions. You seem to be the epitome of what a fan shouldn't be, and you're certainly the least graceful winner I've ever seen. For a team that got smacked down at least as bad in two games just as we did, you sure talk a big game...especially when your team has the same record the Eagles do.
Just keep telling yourself you're the best and no one can touch you. Keep saying no team will ever beat the Patriots because the way you guys have been playing lately - trust me doll...someday, probably sooner rather than later, someone will. There are SEVERAL excellent teams in the NFL (including the Eagles) and they at least deserve your respect, but that's just how I feel. When someone else wins that trophy (whether it is us or not) you'd better be prepared to have this same classless, tacky bragging thrown in your face every day of the season, too. (funny, you couldn't even handle mild criticms too well when the Pats lost to SD...) The Eagles lost an awful game this week...but what were you saying to yourself when the Pats lost so badly to San Diego?
Winning gracefully is something you don't seem to be capable of doing, and for that I really feel sorry for you. For someone whose writing I have always really admired, your arrogance and lack of class in this area is a huge disappointment for me.
