2008 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

[Feva]

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

[SunMo]

yeah, i laughed at that too

the creeks by the Vet were awesome

[General_Failure]

Remember when we all used'a go swimmin' in the Linc crick after games? And MDS would always try to jump in with his shirt on?

The word of the day is 'pimpin,' and let me tell you; pimpin' ain't easy.

Murf and I arrived at the Newark Liberty International Airport ready to grab a rental car, hop in, and roll. As we walked in the Hertz we noticed the line stretching towards the back of the place. "You made a reservation," asked Murf. "Yea no," said I.

Murf stays in line as I run over to Avis; same line. I run to National, no cars available. I run back and get in the Hertz line. I'm nervous that they will run out of cars. I'm chatting with a guy in line and he is saying much it sucks to have to wait in line to get a reserved car. "I don't have a reservation," I say. "Really," he says. "Well, good luck." He looks like he is embarrassed for me.

15 minutes later I reach the counter and the lady asks if she can help. "I'd like to rent a car," I say. "Do you have a reservation," she asks. "No."

She begins to laugh, deep and long. The laugh was like that of a mother whose child has requested a live pony for Christmas, or like a state trooper who just pulled you over for doing 120 in a 55 and you ask him to cut you a break. "Sir, we are only serving customers with reservations," she says. "All I can suggest is that you go outside, call and make a reservation and come back in and maybe we will have a car." I explain that I have to get to the stadium to cover the game and don't have another 20 minutes to wait in line. She again explains that the computer is open only for folks with reservations and she points to demonstrate her point. "You see right there it says re...wait, it shows I have one car left," she says.

10 mintues later Murf and I are getting into our brand new Pontiac GT replete with chrome wheels and sunroof. The color? Burgundy, of course.

Pimpin' ain't easy.

So here we are at Giants Stadium for the game between the taterskins and Jets. I hear they have a new quarterback for the Jets but between you and me, I don't give a rat's ass. I'm here to watch the 'Skins and don't care about a 38-year old quarterback who throws as many picks as TDs.

He is good and all, but I don't care.

Good God in Heaven don't these people have any shame?

Bitching about not being named of of the top 10 fan bases...funny shtein...

I have to wonder what inspired them to leave us out of this. I personally think we are the best fans in the NFL. Some of these I understand, others, wtf!? Chiefs, Broncos, and Bills all made the top 10? Not to mention those filthy Philly fans coming in at #1, and the stupid Cowgirl bandwagoneers made it too. Why don't we get any mention? Especially after the outpouring of support after the Sean Taylor tragedy last year and the AWESOME fans who came out to Canton a few weeks ago. Again, a big WTF to this article thing.

taterskins fans are top 5. win or lose, with the highest ticket prices in the league and outrageous parking, food and beverage costs - we still come out and support the team in good weather and bad.

O'RLY?

Eagles fans take over your stadium every single year as 1000s of your tickets wind up on stubhub, ebay, and the like.

How can you deny the obvious?

Careful Westbrook. Little slack over in the ATNFL. You're in the main house now. We expect a little more courtesy and respect here from our guests. Put the rod and reel away now and behave.

Look how the mod jumps the Eagle fan for stating the obvious.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Are you kidding? I'm dealing with facts right now. Your stadium becomes a sea of midnight green every year. I've seen multitudes of threads in my time here with more devoted Skins fans begging others to not let this happen anymore. Its just the way it is

No. I'm not kidding. And you're dealing in opinions, not facts. Yes, there are threads every year dealing with the Eagles fans at Fed Ex, one over the past 24 hours as a matter of fact, but that doesn't mean they take over. Far from it considering the seating capacity alone. Considering your history here, where you chose to express your opinion, and your team affiliation, you're bordering on trolling. Now put away the bait and try not to chum the waters here.

You are exaggerating greatly. In my 9 years as a season ticket holder, I have NEVER witnessed a "sea of green". Yes, there are more Philly fans than I, or others here, would like to see in our home field. But then we have 90,000 plus seats. At most, we have had a few thousand Eagle fans at the games...and many have been rude and insulting people (note I will not call these idiots "fans") The worst appearance of green has been at the end of a couple games where Philly fans congregated in mass behind the visitor's bench

Now in your defense....I think the mod is being a little hard on you. I read nothing in your posts that remotely comes across as trolling. You are entitled to you opinion. It just happens to be very wrong.

Lot of Skins fans posts that are far worse than your two. On the other hand, you haven't been on your best behavior in the past........


And besides.....how many Lombardi's does Philly have??

Lincoln Financial Field becomes a sea of burgundy every time the Skins play in Philly. There I've said it. It is now fact.

Here are some actual facts.

Philadelphia - 1.517 million
Philadelphia metropolitan area population - 6.38 million

Washington - 588K
Washington metropolitan area population - 5.3 million

Lincoln Financial Field (Brand Spankin' New) - 67,594 capacity
FedEx Field - 91,704 capacity

Philadelphia consecutive sellouts - 71 (Wow, that's nearly 9 seasons!)
Washington consecutive sellouts - 323 (every game since opening day 1965)

Just wondering.....if the Philly fans are so friggin great why did they build a brand new teeny-tiny stadium?

Another retarded Eagle fan. Everytime I see an Eagle's jersey, I say to myself. "There goes a guy a with a G.E.D."

The word of the day is 'pimpin,'

What amazes me about ES is not all the mind-numbingly dumb posts, but the fact that they can usually be identified as mind-numbingly dumb within the first seven words.

[ice grillin you]

the shtein that yous copy and paste off ES is what i have to put up with  every day in person and on local media...i wish so much that anyone who has never experienced what i go thru could do live it for just one weekend so that they could know that exactly what goes on on ES is what goes on in the entire dc area and you could finally realize why i hate the racists so much..in other words ES is not just a website its real life in the dc area

[phattymatty]
