Deion Sanders rips Eagles fans
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice things to say about Eagles fans tonight after the team's 48-20 win over the Cardinals.Donovan McNabb arrived at the NFL Network's set at the Linc for a post-game interview. Many fans stayed in the stands to applaud McNabb, who threw four touchdowns in the victory.
As fans chanted McNabb's name, Sanders interrupted.
"Can I tell them something for you?" he said. "First of all, I would like to tell all these idiotic fans to shut-up. Don't get on his bandwagon now. You're the same guys who booed him on his first incompletion."
Host Rich Eisen then asked Sanders what he thought of the Philly fans.
"I can't stand them. I really can't. It's not because I was a former Cowboy because I didn't give a darn about any fans. They all hated me because I performed well," Sanders said. "But they way they treated this man from Day One, it's not justifiable. They will not treat any other quarterback in the NFL, like we said, Peyton Manning don't get treated like that. Tom Brady. And I know you [McNabb] can't say it, but I would really like on your behalf, you can take this...God bless you guys. ... "

Deion is an idiot to be sure. But he's absolutely right on this one. Philly fans suck. Just watch them boo the Phillies if they lose the first couple of games next year— joeibt- He's right. I hate him, but he's right... Although its not fair to suggest that his comments represent every Eagles fan, in the aggregate, his point is valid.— NickEeee
- Deon really disrespected the fans that stayed behind to cheer Donovan. If Donovan won a Superbowl like Manning and Brady the town would make him immortal in the memory of Philadelphia fans.It almost as if he was trying to provoke someThing at the interview from the fans. Deon give some credit to the fans who actually have "real jobs" and pay for those tickets and make the NFL what it is today. That includes Philly fans who are more known for their passion and desire for a winner then you are for your play that has now been forgotten.— TONYC
- Hey phillyjhawk like him or not he's right, Phiily fans are passionate not knowledgeable, they had a fit on draft day when we got McNabb, instead Eagles fans wanted Ricky Williams WHEN IT WAS CLEAR THE TEAM NEEDED A QB. We already had a 1000 yard back on our roster at the time. They boo McNabb who is caught up in a system that is designed to beat a team that is no longer an elite presence. (The 2000 Rams). The system Reid runs is out of balance, look what happen when he does actually call run plays, all of a sudden Mcnabb looks great because teams have to repect the run. So just because he played for the Cowboys and you don't like his style, the bottom line is he is correct, Philly fans are like children learning the game, or like the pretty girl who keeps winning the office pool because she picks teams based in the color of their uniforms. Oh and by the way, you don't have to tackle when your opponents don't throw the ball to your side because you shut down their wideout. That's why he didn't tackle !!— MoBayYankee
- Dione might have been a great cover man and punt returner, but a football player he was not. He ran for his life out of fear. He didn't like to tackle or get hit and his touchdown dances were the lamest of all time. His dancing matched his singing and that is like listening to his ears flapping in a wind storm. Deion has no business speaking for anybody. He hasn't a clue about Philly fans and should just stick to promoting himself and his crack head cowgirls.— TKB
maybe deion and dykstra can open a car wash together and bash people long after their prime....— jamarder- It's to bad that the loud mouth negatives get all the publicity. Boos or cheers though, the Eagles allways sell out, the Phils set records for attendance this year, the Flyers and Sixers sell plenty of tickets. I wonder if these guys could make millions if the boobirds weren't in the stands. For all of you morons that "hate" Sanders, off the field when he played, he always had time for kids and autographs and a minute of time. Any body who would not have wanted Sanders on your team in his prime is an idiot-there has never been a better corner-ever. McNabb is a capable QB when the game plan and personnel are there to play with him. One last comment-pay me tem mil per yr and I'll let people BOOO me for a long time-noproblem!— Bignas
- Deion Sanders was also the MORON dancing around the field like he was having a celebration when Michael Irvin went down in Philly. That charade drew more boos than anything Irvin ever did. I dislike Michael Irvin but at least I could respect his ability. Sanders always was and always will be the poorest choice for a commentator EVER. YOU KNOW DAT'S RIGHT!!— flyerrod
- Passionate with knowledge of a 4 year old. That's 95% of Eagles fans. Just because Deion Sanders said doesn't make it untrue. Any time you paint your face and travel to NYC to boo a draft pick, you deserve the loser title.— G
- Who cares what Deion says on the NFL network. No one is watching. If it wasn't reported here I would have never heard about it. Go back to hosting beauty pageants so we get some more clips for Howard Stern.— bababooey2yall

- Who really cares what Deion thinks of some Philly fans - it's not like he knows, or cares, about my opinion as a Philly Phan...He's only refering to the one guy he saw boo, then cheer...Can he name him or point at him in a police line-up? LOL Deion, you'll always be Pilar's wife to me...Your family is a joke - I saw it! PK— PhillyTheKid
