Love you big bro! Keep going! Not many like you! Definitely not playing like you healthy or with a torn groin! Go win a bowl for our division!

Yikes.
WRONG!

KDavies : 1/30/2023 3:21 pm : link
and claim that those other teams are winning it for the division are very odd. WTF? Don't you detest your rivals like a normal human being?

Fuck off, Micah

Been that way for quite some time now. Stuff like this isn't surprising.
What a new world...

Empire State Building management showing Philly love and now Parsons rooting for a bitter division rival to bring home the biggest prize...

Many players  
pjcas18 : 1/30/2023 3:22 pm : link
don't have the same division rivalry hate that fans do. Especially many of the younger players.

Laaaaaamee

Mentality. But i think it’s true a lot of times the fan’s take the rivalry stuff to heart way more than the players.
Well now we know why DG didn’t draft him

with other teams' players and have an intense rivalry.

Best example of this I can think of is Michael Strahan and Jon Runyan.

But it would shock the shit out of me if Strahan ever publicly rooted for Runyan to get a ring. It's still the Eagles, man.

Imagine Brandon Jacobs saying that

To an Eagle or Cowboy player—he hated those teams.
A lot of these players are friends  
Producer : 1/30/2023 3:28 pm : link
You see them hug after the games. They are fellow warriors. And when they stop competing they hang out and support each other.

Ugh  
Chris684 : 1/30/2023 3:32 pm : link
The guy is a beast but I hate this take. While I still wish we had drafted him, this kind of take coming from him eases some of that pain.
I don't think it's a "players" thing..  
moze1021 : 1/30/2023 3:32 pm : link
I think its a "some people" thing..

Julian Love wasn't so happy about the Empire State Building.

People down here in Philly area are shocked I am still rooting against them now that Giants are out.

For some people, I guess rivalries are just fun, not something that is gut-wrenching, anxiety inducing, lost sleep over, etc etc

Just look at players after the game. You're right.

But, I think Parsons is taking a different approach (at least for the time being).

Kill them with kindness.

Shirk130 : 1/30/2023 3:37 pm : link
and she gets a call from Lawrence Taylor because the Jets were going to the AFC Championship game and if they won he wanted to be out of town, somewhere warm, for the Super Bowl. She promised me I could deliver the tickets to him when the time came, but the Jets blew it in Miami. If I remember correctly, I still rooted against the Jets.

Players don’t have the same passions  
Section331 : 1/30/2023 3:48 pm : link
and hatred’s as fans. Micah plays these guys twice a year, he’s probably friendly with a bunch of them, so it makes sense that he would root for them. I’d root for Kim Jung Un before the Eagles.
A lot players don’t respect rivalries like fans…  
BigBluDawg : 1/30/2023 3:55 pm : link
They’ll root for their friends, college teammates, hometown, etc… and it probably happened a lot with past players but social media wasn’t around for us to see players every thought. Same way you see players sign to rival teams because it’s still a business and coworkers to them.

It’s a very “college “ mentality.  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 1/30/2023 4:18 pm : link

Most college people you talk to will root for their specific conference. Sometimes they root for their state.

Pros? Fuck our division and I hope they never achieve any type of success.
Because it makes you feel better that you lost to a winner?

Was @ a bar around mid December & this dude starts chatting me up. We get around to talking college football & he mentions he's an Alabama 'fan'. So I say something to the effect of, 'Well I bet you're hoping OSU beats the Dawgs on NYE.' He responds-and I'm paraphrasing-'No. I hope Georgia wins it all. It'd be nice for the SEC.' I hide my actual reaction, which was like 'WTF?'

Yes, and no. I prefer to play in the most dominant conference in football.
That means super bowl wins. I'm not rooting for Philly, but if they win it's a win for NFC East. Representing.
Fuck That!

Ale no sense to hate other players because they’re playing for a rival. This isn’t the WWE. They assuredly hate the rival teams, though. Even as a fan, I like some players on rival squads. I’ve been a big Brian Robinson fan for a while and Sam Howell is a good kid with a bright future. AJ Brown is a great receiver and I like the kid as a person. Dak has been a pro for his whole career. I find it difficult to “hate” Dak. But I violently hate all their teams!
Oh and I really like Ron Rivera. That’s all
