As football season starts… beware of Eagles fans!

Bykeatingcwk

I just saw this article from ESPN.com which polled 8 sports bloggers to get their opinion on the NFL’s best fans.   While the Steelers were number 1, the Eagles were top 5.  

They ranked them on the following aspects:

  • Stadium factor (St.): Loud? Great atmosphere?
  • Live and die factor (LDF): Fans take loss hard? (That’s a good thing.)
  • Traveling road show factor (Travel): Big presence in other guys’ stadium?
  • Loyalty when team sucks (Loyal): You score points with us if you stick with a loser.
  • Hate factor (Hate): Other teams’ fans dislike your fans? (Hate is good in our book.)
  • Tailgate factor (TG): Home tailgates sizzling or stale?
  • Home fans’ creativity (CF): Wacky ideas … or not?

I disagree with the rankings, but that is my bias I guess.   There were a few great quotes from the article which described Eagles fans:

"You could drop a Martian into Philly the day after a game, and within three minutes, he’d know if the Eagles had won or lost," said Glen Macnow, a sports radio talk show host for the wildly popular WIP and co-author of "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book." "When they win, you’ll meet the friendliest cab drivers, CPAs and newspaper sellers. Whey they lose, it’s like a five-day hangover."

Unlike places such as Dallas and Miami, Philadelphia isn’t home to a lot of transplants. People aren’t trying to leave, and potential newcomers aren’t arriving any time soon. It sort of creates this bunker mentality that seems to fuel passion for local teams — but mainly the Eagles.”
