@mart. My experience with a Philly fan was during a Redskins game, at DC. They came in droves from Philly and talks trash all game even when their team’s loosing. Cool thing the Redskins held on and won, but they start throwing beer bottles. God thing the bottles were made in plastic.

@Hanoi, I think it’s just called Botak Jones. Try the double Botak!

I’ve watched several games at the former stadium (VETERANS Stadium) of the Philly Eagles. It has the courtroom and jailhouse inside that time already.

Fans are verbally harassing any fan wearing a non-Eagles/non-Philly teams. Kids, ladies – practically no one is excused.

- I even witnessed a drunk cursing Tampa Bay buccaneer lady fans.

Some opponent team fans has the Eagles shirt inside their shirt. Once the game is over they removed their shirt (opposing team’s), and blend in the crowd to avoid harrassment.

I usually root for the opposing team, I was from neighboring state Delaware – and Philly is closer than Baltimore (Ravens) but I don’t like the Eagles.

You know what? Let’s just look forward to the game tomorrow. Both game 2s are certainly a slam bang affair.

Let’s keep this in perspective. This whole thing flared up when one player lost his cool. It died down when that player sat down and shut up. It flared up again when that same player decided to go online with his grievances. The crowd was verbal, but under control. The player lost his cool. That’s it.

As far as fan craziness are concern, a couple of good references are the Cameron Crazies from Duke University in NCAA (college basketball), and Philadelphia sports fans (the city known for booing Santa Claus) in pro-sports. I kinda experienced being right to next one myself. They can get a bit out of control.

As mentioned in a previous post, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field (home of the Philadelphia Eagles in NFL) is the only stadium I know that has a courtroom and a jail cell for rowdy fans.

well said @Deana… all in all everyone has their own views but at the end of the day PLAYERS are supposed to be PRO’S and in which should act like it. Players are human as well but NEED 2 keep their feeling in check.

Oh and by the way @Hanoi-Subsea Pipelines…. BEST believe IF a player comes to PLAY N RUMBLE ur coming at the best..TAKE IT AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GIVE IT….my husband doesnt play dirty BUT he has perfected HOW to protect himself and KEEP players off of him!!!
GOOOO SLINGERS…………..WE’RE THE BEST….OFF N ON THE COURT…..

With your permission above, may i..
First time i was in Singapore i able to watch PBA Team Ginebra VS Slingers, there is 1 filipino player that hit Jeffers, and fans are very upset and mad, PBA player only retaliate, and when he retaliate the slingers fans upset, if you diagnose the games from 1-4o mins,you will see hoe both imports do their tricks.

2. Patriots NEVER intimidate referees, while in fact the last encounter between Patriots and Slingers, it was one of most lousy basketball games i ever watch.

3. I taught guy in photo 10 is a radio DJ
