Giants "Fans" Actively Cheering For the Eagles? NO THANKS

Allen in CNJ : 1/22/2018 7:53 pm
So I'm driving home today, and I'm flipping around the dial and settle in on listening to Kay and LaGreca. Basically they are running a poll asking Giants fans who they prefer to win the Super Bowl. About 68% of the polled individuals said Pats.

Aside from that, on the likes of social media, such as facebook, I saw a few Giants fans saying they want the Eagles to win because of associations with the team or they have friends who are Eagles fans (I live at the shore, ableit the very northern end of Ocean County, so there are SOME Eagles fans around here that I'm friends with)

But, with that said, how in the hell can ANY Giants fan with no association with the Eagles cheer for the Eagles, and want them to win?

IMO, here are some valid reasons to want them to win IF you are a Giants fan:

1) You have $$ on them
2) You personally know an Eagle or a coach
3) You're married to an Eagles fan

...That's all I can come up with. The other excuses are ridiculous, like people saying they hate little Bill, the cheating stuff, or they hate Brady.

I for one, and I've said it here before, am forever indebted to Bill Belichik as he was a huge part of 2 super bowls, both in my youth, and I still to this day, can never say a bad word about the man. Brady? He's the GOAT, and we got him twice :)

The bottom line is IF this team wins, IMAGINE THE HELL WE WILL GO THROUGH FOR YEARS TO COME!!! Eagles fans are the most obnoxious, aggressive, and all-knowing fans on this earth, and if they win, god help us.

Anyone, feel free to chime in, leave a story, or even commiserate with me in this thread.

Someone said on Facebook that Giants fans hate the Pats more  
BestFeature : 1/22/2018 7:59 pm : link
than the Eagles because of the Boston-NY rivalry. Only NY Football fans would base their opinions on a rivalry based on a baseball rivalry. I know I'm repeating what I said in another thread, but that still irked me.

LaGreca made was that many of these people "hating" the Patriots were under 30 years old, and they have no memory of the association with the Giants and Little Bill - and I think he's 100% right, but these younger fans need to do some research!
Well I remember little Bill

and I still hate the Patriots.

That said, I hate the Eagles more.
Aside from younger fans,  
bLiTz 2k : 1/22/2018 8:07 pm : link
there are so many people who aren't really sports fans. They claim to be Giants "fans", who never regularly follow the team (especially when its bad)...and only tuned in because they were in the Super Bowl....

And in their peon brains think the Giants have some sort of rivalry with New England because of that. I'm okay with people who dont really follow sports or the Giants, but dont proclaim yourself to be some sort of real "fan", call into radio stations, and post on social media when your nothing but a jerkoff who probably hasnt watched a full 60 minutes of football in years.

I don't think it matters that much. I dislike both teams as I'm from NE. I can't root for either but I imagine I'd prefer an eagles gut-wrenching loss. They have been impressive though. If they lose they will lament the loss of wentz forever.

I have family who are Eagles fans. That said, I hate the "Iggles" with burning intensity of an exploding sun. I hope the Pats rip their hearts out with a last second, 61-yard field goal. Chuck Bednarik. Buddy Ryan. Michael Vick. Brian Dawkins. Andre "Dirty" Waters. That unctious-voiced Merrill Reese. Is hate too strong a word? Nope. I hate them. I hope they lose in excrutiating, mind-numbing, unprecedentedly soul-crushing a way as possible. Then I hope the drunks and low-life component of their fan base burn down the Rocky statue.

beatrixkiddo : 1/22/2018 9:09 pm : link
your preference for one or the other a false dichotomy?

To put it another way, if I was represented with the choice of eating dog shit, or cat shit, I'd probably chose not to eat. I'm not going to root for either team, this will be a Superbowl where I am completely indifferent, and most likely wont watch.

That's being too nice! If you're taking philly turn in your Giants card and stay a philly fan. The Pats have already beaten the Eagles in a Superbowl, we should already be greatful to them. I'm hating these 2 weeks, Fuck the eagles.

I will be angry if the Eagles win.

But I will be really, really angry if I have to watch smug assholes Brady and Belichick on the podium, yet again.

The only thing I'll be actively rooting for is my pool numbers to come in.
Given this season it would actually be fitting for the Eagles to win

Giants fans rooting for Philly ??

When you think about doing that, think about their fans coming to NY and chanting "Giants suck" at MetLife, then go on and root for them against To Brady (who we own) !

Put it this way - how many REAL Philly, Cowboys or Skins fans do you see rotting for the Giants ? ZERO.
Rooting vs rather see win  
AnnapolisMike : 1/23/2018 12:47 am : link
I'm not going to root for the eagles. But I'd rather see them win than the patriots. I am sure I would feel differently if I lived in Philadelphia. But I think Giants fans can survive the Eagles Winning a Super Bowl. 4 Super Bowl Trophies is better than one if they win.

Eagles

Been really hating them since the Fumble.
Then with Reggie White and that front 4 used to kill us.
Randall Cunningham had freaky plays against
Their a division rival.
Play close to New York.
Add to all of this is that Eagle fans are the most obnoxious,least humble, least knowledgeable, most annoying fans of any fan base.

Go

Chris in Philly : 1/23/2018 7:51 am : link
that roots for the eagles in this game is an asshole.

Any giants fan that hates the Patriots more than the eagles is an asshole.

To sum up: Don’t be an asshole.
Eagle fans were asking me  
St. Jimmy : 1/23/2018 8:42 am : link
if there could be a worse match up for Giants fans than Eagles vs. Patriots. Eagles/Jets or Eagles/Steelers would be a lot worse for me. The Patriots winning the last two Superbowls was about 15 minutes of annoyance for me before I moved on and that was more centered around, the way the other two teams finished the games. Winning this year would have the added benefit of the Patriots tying the Steelers for most Superbowl wins ever which will take away the largest bragging point Steeler fans have.

Jeever : 1/23/2018 10:12 am : link
I absolutely hate New England. Only one penalty!! That PI call at the end of the half was bullshit.

It seems the NFL needed the Pats in the superbowl after all the turmoil during the season with the kneeling controversy. Could you imagine the lack of interest if Jacksonville had won?

NE lives in the weakest division in the NFL. I can't argue against their talent and coaching but it seems they get all the breaks.

So I'm rooting for Philly to win one by getting after Brady and pressuring him all day.
I would love it if  
shoobz23 : 1/23/2018 10:22 am : link

There really is no justification for a Giants fan to root for Philly. None. It should be as cut and dried a topic as one could have. Sort of like - what people think of pedophiles.

Then again, unicorned vans and other things have also had their place on BBI....

I need a blowout. I want their fans to be miserable for 3 hours, and then for the entire off season. 21-0 at the quarter would be acceptable. It's a nightmare that they actually get these two weeks to enjoy.

I don't care where you live. A Giants fan doesn't root for the Eagles.
