2008 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

[shorebird]

HA! At the bar last night, there was a guy watching the Skins game, wearing a Taylor jersey. I asked him were he 'dug that shirt up'? He said he had to represent. I asked him if it came with the complementary machete. He just looked at me and said nothing. I told the bar tender to hurry up and get this guys money before he bleeds to death. She laughed. He didn't. I had more but my buddies drug me away.

It was awsome!

I wonder how Skins fans feel about Brennan after last night's stellar 4-8/37 yards passing performance?

[Father Demon]

Insensitive prick.  Colon infections are serious business.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Uf he wouldn't jam foreign objects up his ass, he wouldnt have an infection.

Maybe Art Mills was poking him in the butt...

Nice built in excuses as to why the SKins will lose a PS game because of Brett Favre.

And So It Begins
Aug. 14, 2008

No one has been more pleasantly surprised with the State of the taterskins the past two weeks than I. Be it the consistently dangerous flow of the offense, the smoothness with which Jim Zorn has settled into his first head coaching job, or just the overall sense of camaraderie and potential pervading all things taterskin, everything has pretty much come up aces.

Thing is, we've been playing with house money. And that's about to change.

The Hall of Fame game against Indianapolis was a setup. There wasn't a football team in the universe that would have beaten the taterskins that night—not in that atmosphere, not on that field. Peyton Manning could have played the entire game and it wouldn't have mattered. The universe owed a debt of recognition to the Glory Years taterskins and simply chose, finally, to make good on it, aligning the stars with two moving and magical days of burgundy and gold celebration.

Many have said playing the Colts in Canton felt "like a home game" for the taterskins. It was more than that. It was a Homecoming.

And last week, beating the Buffalo Bills in Zorn's FedExField debut, while perhaps not as cosmically scripted, was still largely a no-brainer. It's a game they should have owned. 90,000 (or reasonable percentage thereof) screaming partisans, aglow and agrog from celebrating the end of another interminable offseason with their first tailgate of the new season ... watching an exciting and surprisingly crisp-looking young team that had yet to do anything bad this year to set the more dour among them to booing ... against an opponent that engenders little awe (no disrespect, Buffalo—just the way the cookie crumbles).

All in all, it's been a lot of fun. It's set the early part of the 2008 season to a stirring backbeat that's got taterskins fan tapping their feet and nodding their heads in rhythm. Me among them; I ain't too old to dance.

I'm just saying, Saturday things start getting real.

This week all the attention, energy, karma, expectation and other intangibles will be lurking on the other sideline. Brett Favre's debut as quarterback of the NY Jets has the News (York and Jersey), league and entire football world in a classic media feeding frenzy. After a week of almost championship-style buildup, be assured that the Meadowlands, and more importantly the New York Jets, will be as fired up for a preseason game as perhaps any time in that team's long, sad history since the day Joe Namath ran off the Orange Bowl field in Miami 39 ago wagging one finger in the air.

(Know what else was happening 39 years ago? Saint Favre was being conceived. Gives you chills man.)

Yeah, that's probably hyperbolic, but you get my drift. The taterskins have stumbled into a situation where they're set up as the proverbial 'opponent.' In the pregame billing, they're the Washington Generals to Brett's Favre's Harlem Globetrotters.

Which, as it happens, makes it equal parts possible reality check and potential springboard ...

Why is it that after our first 2 preseason games, so called "experts" on ESPN, FOX, and other places still won't give our Skins' any credit? After watching the Eagles first team offense produce exactly 0 points in 6 possesions last night, people are still picking them to finish better than the Skins. I know it's just the preseason and you can't take too much from it, but from what I've seen from our first team, who hasn't come close to playing 6 series yet this season, we look much more ahead of schedule than any other team in our division. And people might say we've had 1 more game than everyone else to get on track, but our first team only had 3 plays and scored, and then were done for the night. I know the Cowgirls have talent, but I don't think they are that much better than us, and the Giants won't be as good as they were last year, as for the Eagles it looks like it's going to be the Brian Westbrook show again. Our offense seems very balanced with lots of weapons, so why can't we just get a little credit that we deserve!

Another "is it safe to go to Philly to watch a game" thread

2. I went to the bathroom right before halftime. I waited in line for 10 minutes before I was next to go. I was hearing crap the ENTIRE time I was in there, and nervous about the big dude behind me. Well he was the nicest (at the time) out of all of them...he talked football the entire time and was saying nice things about the skins. The only problem though, once I was next in line...he got me by the back of my jersey, and drug me (I willingly just went with it after he told me I was going to end up in the back of the line somehow), and he put me in the back of a longer line (about 15 minute wait). He was cheered as he walked up front to take my spo

Yup, and while I don't blame the original poster for starting this discussion one bit, a lot of their fans that might see this thread will feel proud

Eagles fans arent even people, they are worthless animals who should in no way EVER be feared. They just talk a lot of **** and thats it. They only have the balls to do that because they have friends with them. Catch an eaglets fan in Fed Ex and they are quiet as a mouse with the Jeers

However, I do know that back in the '80s when Cheif Zee went there and the taterskins won some of the Eagles fans broke both his legs and tossed him in a nearby creek

A buddy of mine is cool with Westbrook so he goes to several Philly games a year. He invited me to go to the game and hang out but I haven't gone yet. Personally, I have a bad temper and a low tollerance for disrespect. I could care less about the name calling but if someone put their hands on me, I'd flip out. I've been known to handle myself fairly well so I wouldn't be concerned about one or two unruly fans...but there's no way I'd be able to take on several punk azz eagles fans by myself. It's not worth going in my opinion. Having my fiance with me would make it 10x worse because of my concern for her safety. I already know that I'd lose it in that environment so to avoid getting jumped or arrested I'll stay here.

Bring a Sean Taylor jersey (you can't dis that)

No poo being smeared on cars stories this time.

Bring a Sean Taylor jersey (you can't dis that)

lol, good advice

[SD_Eagle5]

I love 'Philly fans are mean' threads. The ES ones always remind me of the Jerky Boys when sal says 'he said very hurtful things'. They should bring DTC along for protection. I'd spend a night in jail for one shot at the mayor.

Bring a Sean Taylor jersey (you can't dis that)

It's just a matter of time till one of those idiots wears his jersey to the Linc then gets ridiculed. I'm sure there will be a long thread about it on ES.

[General_Failure]

It's just a matter of time till one of those idiots wears his jersey to the Linc then gets shot in the crotch.

And we'll never hear the end of it, no matter how much he deserved it.

[SD_Eagle5]

I just thought of a great Halloween costume: Sean Taylor jersey, football pants splattered with blood on the groin, machete in hand.

[General_Failure]

Be careful, you might get beat up for wearing a Taylor jersey!
