Re: NFL's Best Fans Article by ESPN

I have been to games in Philly, Cleveland, and Washington. Sorry guys, but I put both those places ahead of DC. Despite how rough things have been for the skins, you do have 3 Super Bowls and 2 more NFC titles.

Let's think about what Eagles fans have had to deal with:

3 straight conference championship losses, 2 at home as heavy favorites. When they finally win, they have to see their QB puking on the field in the 4th quarter. Go further back, 1991 their D was #1 against the run AND the pass. Cunningham gets hurt on opening day. You could make an argument that Cunningham doesn't get hurt and they win the Super Bowl that year. Not saying they WOULD have beaten the skins in an NFC Champ game, but they could have. Late 80's early 90's, had to see 3 of your division rivals win Super Bowls, Giants x2, Skins x2, b!tches x3. Not sure, but it wouldn't shock me if you added up everyone's record from 88-96 if the Eagles were on top. Probably have the most play-off appearance of the four teams over that span too. Again, just going off the top of my head, so I could be wrong. They made it in 88, 89, 90, 92, 94, 95, 96 (I think), and could never win the ring.

As for the Browns, they $uck and those people are still passionate as hell. $h!t, they used to go to the old Municipal Stadium and tailgate on Sundays even when they didn't have a f'n team!!!

Agree with everyone that said the Pats are too high. To me, Bahsten is a very fair-weather town. This year it was all celtics celtics celtics. When I went there last year for Rangers-Bruins, the Celtics played the night before. If I brought high-tops with me, they may have let me play. The Red Sawx have not always sold out and the interest in the Bruins comes and goes.

FWIW, I also think the Giants are too hight based on their criteria. That stadium is not loud at all. I sit upstairs for 1/2 the season, when someone stands up and tries to get people going, he gets yelled at to sit down so others can see.
