It was powdery snow and a good time was had by all. :D

BTW - why was there no mention of DeSean Jackson getting a beer bottle thrown at him in the Meadowlands the week before? Double standard, as usual when it comes to Philly.

It's not our fault that most other cities are fair-weather fans and suck. ;)

Just thought it was funny that's all. Got to be crazy to go to philly with the opposing teams jersey.................:D Those fans probably got taken to a nice warm indoor area to watch the rest of the game with beer and food.................

In my experience over the last 12 years, there are 2 types who wear their jerseys.

1) A-holes looking for a fight - often wearing Dallas and New York jerseys. They usually get it, or get ejected before it can get going. Wearing division opponent colors WILL get you in some serious trouble.

2) Cool people who know how to behave around the powderkeg that is a Philadelphia sporting contest. They come in, take some razzing, show they have a sense of humor and (as long as the locals are winning) have a good time with it.

Caveat: Now, if the Philly Boys are losing and you're cheering for your team, it can get dicey.

It's not like the old Thunderdome days of The Vet ("2 men enter, 1 man leaves") as a lot of the animals have been priced out and the others are somewhat better behaved because the Eagles WILL life your tickets and license.

But you've gotta be careful. Is it fair to fans of the opponent? No. But it's Philly and there's a reason it's called 'home field advantage'.
