Free agency has been good for the players but bad for fans of old rivalries like me.

Great point irish,
also I wanted to add I don't hate Eagles or their fans cause they are beneath contempt.
I have been to Philadelphia. I stayed in the only nice area in the city. It is only a matter of time before Philly completes its transformation into Camden NJ.
I liked the energy on South street, as it got darker, it got way thuggier.
I went for a hockey playoff game and couldn't believe the behavior of their fans. I was with three other large guys who were ready to fight if necessary, but I saw some really sad behavior from their fans.
