No, thank you Anton.
I'd be more then happy to let PA keep everything Philly, including Rendell. We got quite enough problems.

And psshhhht the Pats are from Philly/Suburban Philly and Anton is from the Steel City.
I lived in Pennsyltucky and spent great deals of time there (family). I'm the truest Pennsylvanian out of yall. Damn city slickers.

The only thing they want to talk about with regards to Philly is how "badly" we treated McNabb and how disgraceful our fans supposedly are.     Yeah, they were/are overprotective of McNabb and they may take it out on the "fans" (you guys have booed Santa Claus and cheered for career ending injuries over the years, though, so you kinda made your own beds there) but they certainly aren't anti-Philly.  The Eagles, whether they deserve it or not, are always one of ESPN's favorites to cover and as soon as they win a game or two are held up as SUper Bowl favorites by the network. And I don't think you could ever say their baseball coverage is anywhere near anti-Philly, but that's for another thread I suppose.

You can only be so biased. It's impossible to deny the Phillies' talent now, but after the 2008 WS they were regarded as flukes because they only beat the Rays.

We booed Santa Clause because the guy showed up drunk. Fans were pissed off that a drunk was portraying Santa Clause to their kids, not exactly a good roll model, so they booed. That part of the story is never reported.

Same thing with the cheering of season ending injuries. People cheered the hit. Once it was realized that something was seriously wrong, people shut up. That's not a sexy story though. People also forget to mention that Deon Sanders was dancing around like a moron while Irving was being attended to. People booed his disrespect. Go to and Eagles game and watch the reaction an opposing player gets when he is carted away due to injury. The fans show him a great amount of respect.

But Anton I thought Pittsburgh was it's own state as well?
Philly, Pittsburgh and the oh so lovely Pennsyltucky where I spent my 4 wonderful college years.

Cmon I'm from Joisey and I know PA is really 3 states....

Don't even get me started on the Pats.

We do? Marketing data would tend to suggest we do more than that. Keep watching Sportscenter and absorb their anti-Philly bias.

Ha! Well for the Eagles of course not...you savages on the wrong side of the Delaware River....
It's beyond me anyway when we have two "New York" teams playing right here in the state!

Westbrook did have a hard time staying healthy, (and played in that passing team) but he was a damn good back. Remember a few years back I used to really dread playing the Eagles with McNabb, Westbrook, and Jeremiah Trotter in the middle of that D.

I can only speak from my personal experience and general chat.
I am glad to hear that though, he should be the most beloved in your franchises history.
For westbrook, I guess it's different in the city but Eagles fans I've known here would always give him flak for being hurt (I found pretty unfair) or for "being just a receiver" or just giving him sh*t in general. I thought he was a great back myself.
You do live in the city, maybe the Eagles fans here are not quite as true...you know some NY taint on them
