Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Eagles: Reaping what they sew or did you feel sorry for them?

I am glad the Eagles organization lost badly. I hope the Eagles organization continues to slide as it becomes clearer and clearer to players that it's all business, none of this "we are family" stuff. As FRPLG noted, nobody seems to offer the hometown discount to them and they are pretty merciless with older vets. (yes Trotter and Douglas came back, but they seem to be the exception not the rule). I hope they enjoy their wonderful cap numbers as they slip into mediocrity.

As for the fans - I hate them. Generally, I believe in sportsmanship and "sports karma", and so I don't like to wish ill upon other fans. For Philly, however, that goes out the window. These smug, loudmouthed, thugs deserve any bitter disappointments they receive. Now that they are losing, let's just see what kind of fans they really are. I hope every one of the 42 points caused them pain.

As for the athletes, for the most part they seem like class guys, and I will not wish injury or other ills upon them. I hope they lose but do not wish for the players themselves be embarrassed. It is, however, all part of the game. They play for the wrong team and I will always root against them.

Summary: dislike the smug organization, hate the fans, am ambivalent about the atheletes and, as long as the Eagles keep getting "L" 's, I am happy.
