Friend Or Foe Yo, State Your Biz

You [want to score]?
Ah , there it is
Me, I run the show,
Oh, and these kids
Don't like nobody coming ‘round here fuckin wit their [team] for shit




You enterprising though,
And [we] liked ‘ya
But fuck with the big dogs though
[We] gotta bite ‘ya,
Look, it’s out of [our] hands
and you getting [catches] ‘round here, its not in the plans
So hop yo ass [back on that van]
Head back to [Dallas]



Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!?! We’re BACK! Yes indeed. We here at the Fell Clutch are preparing for pill poppin’ poppa, T-O[h my life is over!]’s return to the city of brotherly love and Santa-pelting.

You think its a coincidence that he started poppin extra pain pills 2 weeks before Philly? Nope. He knows. We all know. B.Dawk ain’t Ray Lewis. And Philly fans? Well, we’re the craziest!

(This all assumes of course that Bledsoe even passes him the ball, which is unlikely. T-O[verdose] is the Cow[girl]’s number 2 receiver. That makes T-O[verdose] Terry Glenn’s bitch. And that, ladies and gents, is irony.)

Oh, I can’t wait till Sunday!


Can you tell that I am proud to be a "Philadelphia Sports Fan"? It is an honor. One that you earn. It isn't about one team -- the Iggles, Phils, Sixers, or Flyers. No, its about the city. Hell, I went to see Smarty Jones run the triple crown cause he was a hometown horse. We are die hard. Just to let you know what it means to be an Eagles fan, this was taken from wikipedia:

Eagles fans' devotion to their team is reflected by ticket sales: games are invariably sold out, and the waiting list for season tickets numbers 60,000.[1] In June 2006, tickets for home games were sold out in a matter of minutes after opening phone and internet lines.[2] Despite finishing with a 6-10 record in the 2005-2006 season, the Eagles ranked second in the NFL in merchandise sales the following year.[2]
Eagles fans have become notorious in the NFL for their arguably unmatched enthusiasm, knowledge and team loyalty, and sometimes also for their bad behavior. Eagles' fans enthusiastically embrace hard-edged, dedicated play. But they have also turned quickly on teams perceived as lacking a sufficient commitment to winning.
The most infamous example was the "Santa Claus Incident," on December 15, 1968, at Franklin Field, in which angry fans, upset at the conclusion of yet another failed season under head coach Joe Kuharich (including first losing 11 games, then winning 2, which prevented the team from getting first pick in the next draft, O.J. Simpson), booed and threw snowballs at a man dressed as Santa Claus during the halftime show.[3]
Frank Olivo, a 19-year-old fan dressed as Santa Claus who had been drafted from the stands as an ad hoc replacement for the scheduled Christmas pageant, was the target of the crowd's anger.[3] As Olivo recounts, fans threw snowballs at him after he reached the end zone, shouting that he made a poor Santa. According to local news reporter Ray Didinger, Olivo was visibly intoxicated.[3] This led to more snowballs. Subsequently, a legend was born.
Other high-profile examples of fan misbehavior include:
At a December 10, 1989 game dubbed "Bounty Bowl II" against the Dallas Cowboys, the city failed to clear the stadium following a snowstorm. Fans threw snowballs onto the field, pelting Cowboys players and coaching staff, NFL officials, and one another. Future Mayor of Philadelphia and current Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell got caught up in the fallout from that game when he admitted to a reporter that he had bet another fan $20 that he couldn't reach the field with a snowball. (It can be seen from the videotape that Dallas Cowboys' head coach Jimmy Johnson was, in fact, pelted in the head with a snowball. Unsurprisingly, Jimmy's hair withstood the blast, his trademark hairstyle intact.)[4] As a result, the team added security and banned beer sales for their last remaining home game of the regular season.[5]
• During a November 10, 1997 Monday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Eagles fans, in a 24-12 loss, infuriated by a series of calls by the officials and poor play by the Eagles, engaged in a number of highly visible, large-scale brawls on national television. In the last quarter, one fan fired a flare gun across the stadium into empty seats in the 700 level. Other ignominious incidents that evening include a woman flashing from the luxury suites and a man operating a chainsaw in the parking lot. Shortly thereafter, the infamous Veterans Stadium courtroom was established.[6]
• A contingent of Eagles fans traveled to the 1999 NFL Draft in New York for the sole purpose of jeering the Eagles selecting anyone other than Heisman Trophy winning running back Ricky Williams. Local radio hosts had recruited the boorishly behaving crew to protest the selection, which turned out to be future Pro-Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb stayed composed during the incident, and the thirty or so fans who booed him were subsequently derided as the "Dirty Thirty," while the radio hosts in question were widely criticized for their roles as instigators. McNabb has since become one of Philadelphia's most beloved sports icons, and Williams has had numerous off-field problems and is currently out of the league.
• During a October 10, 1999 game against the division rival Dallas Cowboys, Cowboys wide receiver (and bete noire of Eagle fans) Michael Irvin was knocked unconscious when his head hit Philadelphia's hard turf-covered cement field after a catch. As Irvin lay prostrate and immobile on the turf, some Eagles fans cheered the injury. Irvin was ultimately diagnosed with a broken neck, and the injury ended his career. In that game, the Eagles rallied from a 10-0 deficit to earn their first victory of the season, 13-10. (Some fans who were there claim that it was not Irvin's injury but Deion Sanders's showboating during the injury timeout that they were booing.)[7]
Acts of violence by Eagles fans against fans of visiting teams, combined with ongoing difficulties with public drunkenness, prompted Philadelphia municipal judge Seamus McCaffrey and the Philadelphia Police Department to establish a small, in-stadium courtroom at the Vet in 1997. Additionally, plainclothes officers, dressed in the colors of the visiting team, were dispatched to sit in sections known as being dangerous to opposing fans, most such sections being located in the Vet's notorious "700 Level" upperdeck. By 1999, incidents of fan misbehavior had diminished to the point that the courtroom was no longer needed.


Knowing Philly fans like T-O[verdose] must, I think I would’ve taken the red pill too. I love this game.
