I am sure these are fun until there are things in the snowballs or no longer snowballs.

I am sure all fans are equally poo poo and eagles fans aren't especially poo poo. gently caress those guys who buying tickets to such a poo poo stadium.

Every team has their share of poo poo-heels and bad guys, but the Cowboys have made it a point to court those types of players over the past few years. Also, lol at trying to equate fans throwing snowballs to beating your girlfriend.

Doug Pederson said that he had batteries thrown at him when he was playing QB for Philly. IDK about snowballs though. That was back in the 90s anyway. You'd probably have to pack the battery into the snow pretty tightly if you wanted it to travel all the way down to the field.


Alternatively, if you wanted to get a bunch of batteries on the field you could just pack them in Cowboys jerseys.

All NFL fans are sociopaths to some degree. We actively cheer as young men destroy their body and minds just so we can talk poo poo on the train or WE.

I would like to run a tournament to determine the worst player in the NFL, starting with determining the worst player on every team. I know there are some Sandy Hook Truthers in the NFL.

Eagles fans threw batteries at Santa or something. Whereas a Dallas Cowboy wouldn't even know the meaning of the word battery*.

*Unless paired with the word "assault."

Seriously though where did all these Eagles fans get the batteries from, was it free battery day?

I was at the snowball game. While I was not in a section with access to snow, I can't even begin to describe how loving hilarious it was at the time. Throwing snowballs is fun! Who doesn't like throwing snowballs?!! Little did we know at the time that they rest of the nation was sitting around like a bunch of prudes saying "throwing snowballs? No, I don't approve of that at all."

edit: for clarity I wasn't at that 49ers games, I was at this one:

While I respect you immensely because of your Buddy Ryan avatar, I disagree with your opinions a lot. I am aware of the popular characterization of Howie Roseman as some kind of Machiavellian manipulator leaving a trail of fired "Football Guys" in his wake as he weasels himself ever closer to Jeffrey Luries' bosom despite his overwhelming incompetence. But I think it's more likely that Howie Roseman has risen up through the organization and all those other guys got fired because he was right more often than they were.

I think you should consider changing your opinion on Roseman. First of all, it's a bad opinion most often expressed by the worst of fans, like the kind that call sports radio. But more importantly I think it creates a psychological barrier that prevents you from giving yourself fully to the Wentz.

The batteries and the snowballs were two separate things.

They threw batteries at a really drunk random from the stands who had to take the original guy they got dress up as Stanta's place. The guy apparently was acting like a total shithead and threw up down the costume.

I thought they threw batteries at JD Drew at a Phillies game for being a traitor

Also the Snowballs at Santa thing happened in the loving 60s and still gets brought up like it happened last week.

The bottom line is the Eagles brought this on themselves by being cagey about the exact nature of the chain of command in the past while at the same time having some huge first round busts. The team hasn't won a playoff game since the 2008 season so it's not like there is some meteoric success to point to as a contrast. The team has yet to return to close to the success of the Reid/McNabb teams, even that last legs 2008 team. If he busts on Wentz, there is nobody left to blame and he I think we all agree he would have to go. Every other head has already rolled and it's 100% his team now. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier this is a ridiculous fantasy scenario because Wentz is in fact the greatest football player who will ever live.

Sproles threw a TD pass off of a toss today, lol.

Also, Big V lined up as a 6th lineman and caught a TD pass in the redzone. Then the offensive line got into the formation of bowling pins, somebody threw the ball at them and they fell over. To practice the loosened TD celebration rules.

A subsection of fans want a scapegoat, one guy they can blame every failed draft pick on. But the reality is draft decisions are made by committee. The Eagles have been pretty up front about that, but people just don't want to believe it.
