Buddy Ryan Remembered

[Burrs5]

No, I've been to enough games to verify. Philly sports has earned it's moniker. As someone who's been subjected to a lot more fanbases/experiences, it doesn't happen everywhere.

I don't what your experiences are. 60%+ of people at Eagles' games aren't white trash. Way too high, but it does fit the narrative rather well.

When I go to games it's usually with a group of 50+. Sure, a couple of goofs might find their way into the group, but nowhere close to 30/35 of the 50 are anything close to a normal white trash definition.

 

[CWertz]

what he did elsewhere is completely irrelevant to what i'm personally arguing, which is that i found the ryan era more entertaining and enjoyable than reid's decade coaching the eagles

ryan inherited a terrible team, made them a good one, but didn't win a playoff game in three tries. i don't see that as prolonged futility

I can agree with this point in that Ryan and his teams were tougher and certainly more entertaining. However, overall as a head coach, he doesn't compare with Reid.

Relax, you throw out generalizations about the Nova community on a daily basis. Give and take.

 

[CWertz]

A lot of white trash has been priced out. Some have persevered the luxury stadium and seat license trend to spend 60% of their income on tickets, shirseys and tailgating.

Sometimes, but not daily. However, you won't go a day on here without some sort of unflattering/exaggerated CoP reference.

I like Burrs. He and I are both CoP lifers with similar backgrounds and tastes. I too detest people who think they are better than others. But we disagree here. Large segment of the fan base is trash, or at least behaves that way at games. I've only been to one pro football game not in Philly (Charlotte), and the crowd there was much more genteel

Yea, super reference. 30 handpicked dopes sent to the draft for the sole purpose of booing the pick. Case closed.,

Happens everywhere???

Yea, I'm sure the crowd in Charlotte is a bit more docile than here in the CoP. How about Eagles games vs games in CoDB?

I've been to a lot of Eagles' games and I never had a problem. Also, I haven't come across to many incidents that I would consider terribly out of hand. Maybe, I've been fortunate.

 

[YourBuddyRayhad]

I haven't been to many games at the new stadium. Mostly at the old Vet

burrs, I'm a Philly guy and fan of all the teams with the exception the Eagles. The Eagles fans are different than the rest of the COP team fans. Their desperation is obvious. They may change once or if the Birds ever win a SB.

I love Eagles fans and related to many. You are what you are. Burrs obviously has a hard time embracing the stereotype because he's lived his entire life and spent most of his entire existence with a very narrow view of the world. The CoP view. I grew up in West Virginia for crying out loud. You go to a game in Morgantown and I'm sure you'll have comments on WVU fans. Incredibly nice people but well, it's West Virginia for sure. And still some of my best friends with whom I see continue to do multiple family vacations a few times each year. Just own it. It's an observation based on experience not a judgement based on thinking you're better than anyone. Burrs, you wear the Dawkins jersey right?

 

[NickleDimer]

I saw a CoPer this morning with a legit Kenny Powers mullet perm. I bet he's been arrested at the sports complex for disorderly conduct at least 3 times.

To be fair, a lot of people have hard time letting go of heroes....

Question: what is Mitch Williams or a Mitch Williams fan?

I won't own that 63% of people at Eagles' games or Eagles' fans in general are white trash. So, if there are 1.5 million Eagles fans in the metropolitan area, then 1 million of them are white trash? Stop. It's an exaggeration. It's silly.

I don't wear jerseys to games either. Cmon bro, pay attention better. We've been over this in the past.

 

[adp98]

Let's call it 57.4%.

Question: what is Mitch Williams or a Mitch Williams fan?

It was a Mitch Williams fan with Rod Beck influences.

Who goes to a game with 50 other people? White trash.

 

[Anarchy99]

Who goes to a game with 50 other people? White trash.

And guys looking to buy cheap generators....

 

[YourBuddyRayhad]

Who goes to a game with 50 other people? White trash.

So true

 

[nardibynature1234]

Definition of white trash?

I guess I might know of some if you put every acquaintance of mine in front of me, but it would be a small %.

If they wear jorts and any type of pro sports jerseys.

 

[NickleDimer]

Burrs and his buddies are the type of CoP sports blowhards who spend every free moment obsessing about CoP pro sports, but think that people who do ridiculous things like wear jerseys or enjoy college basketball more than a 10 win NBA franchise are ridiculous laughable losers.

 

[YourBuddyRayhad]

Burrs, have you ever started and/or participated in an E-A-G-L-E-S chant at a place besides at that stadium or watching at a bar? Say, at a wedding reception perhaps?

 

[Burrs5]

Who goes to a game with 50 other people? White trash.

I don't physically travel with 50 other people, homes. Usually just the wife, maybe another couple. But we'll tailgate in a large group. A couple sets of friends are season ticket holders and they do a nice set-up right next to each other. All are welcomed. Normal people with jobs and families. Hey, any time 60K congregate in one area you're going to have some nitwits. Totally agree. But most are just out having a good time.

 

[Burrs5]

If they wear jorts and any type of pro sports jerseys.

Well, that excludes my crew. Good to know.

Serious question? Do they still make jorts?

Hell ---- No!!!!! Jesus Christ.....

 

[Burrs5]

When I go to Nova games at the WFC I see people wearing Nova jerseys, jackets, sweatshirts, t-shirts, pullovers, hats, etc. A lot of them are drinking, some are even intoxicated, but not really bothering anyone. Just having a good time. Are these people white trash, too?

 

[nardibynature1234]

I see them out, I don't know if they still sell them.

 

[Burrs5]

I see them out, I don't know if they still sell them.

Ha ha ha.....

Not sure anyone still buys them, but they are still being worn for sure.

 

[Burrs5]

Nardi, were you banned? What's with the new screen name?

 

[VURambler]

Ha ha ha.....

Nothing you need to buy. Just cut the legs off an old pair of jeans.

 

[nardibynature1234]

Nardi, were you banned? What's with the new screen name?

Yup, don't even know what I did this time.

Buddy when asked by media after game where DB Izel "Toast" Jenkins was burnt several times. "46? He's All-Pro".

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

I doubt that most of the white trash at NFL games have season tickets....I would imagine they go once or twice a year as a treat. I do think a lot of people treat NFL games as a license to act like a giant cheek. I don't think most season ticket holders would have the stamina to get tanked 8 times a year and pick fights; it takes a lot of energy to be an a-hole.
