Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Remember when Snyder was being blasted for restricting signs at FedEx? Now Philly has its version of SignGate, http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Eagles-players-defend-asking-fans-to-take-down-a?urn=nfl-wp9494 Haha, that franchise is looking worse and worse! http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Eagles-players-defend-asking-fans-to-take-down-a?urn=nfl-wp9494 People are way beyond hot about the 1-4 Eagles in Philadelphia, and it goes past the events on the field. When Eagles offensive linemen Evan Mathis(notes) and Jason Kelce(notes) went to the team's NovaCare Complex on Monday, just one day after the team's loss to the Buffalo Bills, a group of fans had a banner that read, "Andy, the Time's .... to Go," an obvious shot at head coach Andy Reid. The thing is, the fans were holding up the sign across the street from the Eagles' facility, which put them in a public area, and not the team's private property.Unmoved by that fact, Mathis and Kelce approached the fans and asked them to remove the banner. The players have said that they did not threaten the fans; they merely asked them to take the sign down, and the fans complied. From that point on, Mathis and Kelce have been hammered non-stop on Philly talk radio....

dockeryfan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 This guy has been making signs forever. Since I lived there anyway and that was a zillion years ago. I mean he's a dumb **** and used to misspell things, but if it's the same guy, he bleeds green. Kelce is going to tell this guy he's not a real fan? Screw you, douchebag. So sign guy is able to get into your head? Way to be a professional. What a bunch of tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Here's what Mathis and Kelce sound like to me: "I didn't want anything negative out there that could have any kind of potential to create a divide in this team, so we asked them, take it down, WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" "Leave Andy Reid alone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Will be interesting to see if they ban signs at their next home game. Especially if the Skins beat them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My god. A consultant. Now signs being removed? Are we in a time warp or something?! It's sounding like 2009 all over again ... only it's the Eagles! :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My god. A consultant. Now signs being removed? The signs have already been banned. This was across the street, it wasn't on novacare property. Here's an article from years ago when they banned the big signs. http://www.phillymag.com/articles/pulse_sports_sign_man_revisited/ I still can't believe a rookie and a first year guy are making statements about who is an eagle fan and who isn't. Newsflash. This guy will be here after you two no names are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpredskins Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 All this crap is exactly why I think the Eagles are nowhere near rebounding this weekend, if anything their problems have gotten even worse and more ridiculous since last sunday.
