Question about NFC East Rivals...

Clintqb17 : 12/17/2017 9:52 am
I’m a die hard Giants fan but moved from Jersey when I was 5. For the fans living up in NY/NJ, who do you hate more Cowboys or Eagles?
Thanks
Eagles,

and it's not even close.

I started paying attention around '85, so my formative years were when the Eagles were more of a threat and had Buddy.

The Skins.

But that's because I have been here so long. I think Philly would be the worst place to live as a Giants fan. Skins fans are clueless, Eagles fans are offensive. But, let's think happy thoughts. Eagles have never won a Super Bowl (and won't this year) and the Skins have now gone 26 years without even getting to an NFC title game. Skins also have the 28th best record over the past 20 or 25 years. So, if you're a Skins fan in your early 30s, you have basically been rooting for the Browns. With that being said, I hope they both beat the Giants. I want that #2. Valuable asset.

theres no fan more punchable than a NY/NJ Cowboys fan. They are the absolute worst.

In terms of team hate...I really started getting super fanatic into football in the early 2000s, and the Eagles were it. I absolutely loath that team.
Also to add,

I've seen the Giants play the Skins in Landover about 4 times. Every time win or lose it was a great experience, so that rivalry to me is very fun.

This.
Those bastards have ruined NYG seasons for the last decade and a half.
Redskins, easily

Cowboys, Eagles, and Skins in that order

Under further review.
Eagles  
bc4life : 12/17/2017 5:18 pm : link
and it's a distant 2nd to the next team.
Eagles, by far

Going to college in PA will do that to you.
Cowboys

The NJ Cowboy fans were the worst when I was growing up in NJ. In grad school I dated a woman from TX, she came home with me and we went to a sports bar to watch. She saw the Cowboy fans there and said 'if this is what you grew up around, I see why you hate them.

Add the "America's Team" arrogance, and an owner who is as selfish as they come and boom.

The Eagles I hate because even in the Parcells era they had our number. They've tortured us over the years.

The Skins were classier in the Gibbs days, and we had their number. Plus, they have been so busy in the Synder era winning the off season they never worry me that much.
Eagles.

I moved to philly when I graduated college and it was Buddy Ryan’s heyday. I saw them at Vet Stadium for a Monday Night game in 1988. Ryan and the birds did their typical pwnage of the Giants. I was so friggin drunk and pissed-off afterwards I burned a bunch of Giants gear in my backyard. Flames were six feet high. My girlfriend was NOT happy about that.

I hate the Eagles with the heat of a thousand suns.
Philadelphia,

Dallas are neck & neck. Washington is miles back.

for me it's Dallas by a landslide. Say what you want about Philly fans, primates? Yes. Trashy? Yup. Disgusting? Yup. Do Philly fans encompass everything awful about the NFL fan? Yes. But they are loyal. They are real.

Dallas fans are fucking garbage. No fan base sucks more. No fan base deserves less.

Living in north jersey i can count on one hand how many annoying Eagle fans I encounter in this area over the years. Literally, one hand and even that might be an over estimation. Of course when I go to games I run into shitty eagle fans but that's typical of any fan base that travels well.

Dallas fans are a plague. And the Dallas fan that also roots for the Yankees should be sent to prison. Don't care if the Dallas fan in jersey has been a fan for life, garbage. All of them. GARBAGE. You guys just don't know any better. If Dallas were to win big again you'd be eating your words if you ever said they weren't the lowest of the low. They ruin everything. The dallas FRANCHISE ruins everything. If we didn't have Dallas in the NFL the NFL would be better. It would be less about the money and sponsorships. Fuck Dallas. Fuck Jerry Jones and his corrupted and vile soul and his HOF bust that is a sham and while we're at it, FUCK TEXAS.
what has Texas ever done for this country?  
djm : 12/18/2017 11:27 am : link
what has philly ever done for this country? It's the birth place of democracy! And to me location carries weight here. Texas should be its own shitty, hot and fucked up little country. Leave. Bye. No offense to anyone living there. If I lived there i'd take offense but I don't.

I still can't process that someone growing up in jersey would root for that fucking team in that stupid place. The worst is the quintessential north jersey NYC loud mouthed fuck that is so proud of his/her NYC roots but roots for a team/city that hates their very existence. fucking idiots.
Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins  
Section331 : 12/18/2017 11:45 am : link
in that order. I hate the Eagles and Skins but I despise the Cowboys, their fans, everything about them.
Growing up in the 70's, it was the Cowboys, Skins then Eagles.  
Mad Mike : 12/18/2017 12:46 pm : link
In the late 80's the Eagles took the top spot ahead of the Cowboys. That changed back this year when I decided I just dislike Jerry Jones so much (though the Eagles are way ahead of the Skins, natch).
Skins hands down  
bradshaw44 : 12/18/2017 12:51 pm : link
But that’s because I grew up here in DC. The bandwagon fans in the early 80s are what drove me away from them. My parents tried to get me to like them as a kid but the fans are so stupid and insufferable that I refused.

I'm a Yankee fan, but the fans that root for the Cowboys/Yankee/Laker trio are the absolute worst.
I'm a Yankees fan too.

I'd just as soon take the side of a Red Sox fan over a dallas Yankees fan.
