PS: rjs did the right thing clamming up, though.

I didn't clam up. I mocked them and taunted them and then moved to a section where I could act however I wanted without risking SunMo's season tickets.

Your point is well taken, though. And it's a goddamned shame.

i stood almost the entire game 10 rows from the field and no one said anything, but i also got in trouble for flipping the bird.

If you're the only person standing in the section and you're doing so at the wrong time just to be a fleshpop then I can see people getting upset. Drunks do that all the time and they inevitably get the "icehole!" treatment until they sit the farg down. That's fine. I don't have a problem with that.

However, from my perspective, everyone should be standing & screaming their throats raw when the other team is on offense. There's no legitimate excuse for apathy in the stands. Also - taunting the other team is a rich Philadelphia tradition. Part of taunting them and getting into their heads is using raw language. Saying "you suck" and being repremanded by some $8/hr. pipsqueak is bullshtein and Lurie and his gang of politically correct weasels need to be made to understand that.

Football isn't a pretty sport. It's dirty, violent, and nasty. Expecting the fans in the stands to act like it's a goddamn tennis match is ludicrous.

Sometimes it is.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the "fumble" to Buck was changed to a TD pass. Elias determined that it would have been an incomplete pass if Buck hadn't caught it...

QuoteThe Elias Sports Bureau officially changed the touchdown play by Eagles running back Correll Buckhalter in Sunday's win over the taterskins. They ruled that Reggie Brown did not have possession of the ball and, therefore, did not fumble.

Here's a breakdown of the official scoring of the play and subsequent statistical changes from the game:

Official scoring: A 55-yard TD pass from Donovan McNabb to Buckhalter.

Passing: McNabb should have 257 yards passing and two touchdowns. With that extra touchdown pass, McNabb is now tied for the league lead in touchdown passes with the Colts' Peyton Manning. Both quarterbacks have thrown 18 TD passes. It also marked the 152nd TD pass of his career, ranking him second in Eagles history.

Receiving: Brown should be 1-for-18 with a long of 18, while Buckhalter should be 1-for-55 with a touchdown.

Total Yards: Total yards for the Eagles: 400; Net passing yards: 255

Well, I still don't have a clear picture of rjs to prove he's real, but I do have a picture of his middle finger.

I love this. I have DMac in my money league, which is a points-for-scoring-only league, where the number of points granted is determined by how long the TD pass was.

The guy in the office next to me was playing the Eagles team (which picks up all misc. scores) and has been giving me shtein about "stealing" my TD all week. Now he's farged.

I won my week by one point..... if they change this......

I have Dmac in a money league also. I was wondering were that TD went. Someone had to get credit for it. It was no were to be found on the cbs sportsline stat sheet. I had already won my game, but the pts. help in the power standings.
