Being polite southerners we reminded them of the NFC Championship game a few years back and even in nature there is no way a bird can beat a cat!!
I am glad however that the eagles beat the cowboys last weekend.
Note: this was all done in good fun and I for one really appreciate the "Northern" humor!

I hope you said that while close to an exit  . I fondly remember when Michael Irivin (the famous Dallas Wide-Receiver and a fellow U of Miami alumni) broke his leg in Philly and the fans clapped! Oh they are a special bunch

As for NFL teams. I mostly see Panthers stickers and flags, but there are also a lot of Redskins and some Cowboys stuff. I never notice any other teams represented.

I've found the Redskinds fanbase here curious- prior to the Panther's franchise, I would have assumed the ATL Falcons would be a team to cheer for, but no one likes 'em? Possibly going back to the days when the Falcons and Bucs were always 3-12 for the year

Yep, the Philly fans are wild, no doubt about it. Or as I call them 'rabid fans.' DH is a to-the-bone Philly sports fan, but he's not nuts like some of them get. He goes the other way - he does get very serious and scowls.  I'll ask him if he's enjoying the game, and he'll answer "Yes. Everything is fine." Okay, so notify your face!
I thought games were supposed to be fun?  |

Miker2069,
Prior to the Panthers existence, we got the 'Skins game every week on TV here in the Raleigh market. Guess that created the huge fanbase down here.
