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 Sanders was an unbelievably great football player, but right now he's just a major idiot. How many typical Eagles fans does he actually know? Probably none, but he thinks just because he sees the loudest thousandth of a percent on tv every year or two when he covers an Eagles game, he knows what Eagles fans are thinking. If I wanted to make a similarly moronic overgeneralization, I would say that all ex-player commentators are complete idiots. But I don't need to offend the many ex-players who are really talented at their second careers. I can be more specific. Deion Sanders is a complete idiot.
The NFL is a business, so why do these guys take it personal?— pdditty- McNabb wins when he has the talent around him and the proper game plan called... just like any solid quarterback. He is the BEST quarterback in franchise history and will be remembered as such until someone comes along and does it better. If he gets traded, it will be a mistake. Reid is more to blame than McNabb. He admits it and is right. His play calling has been unbalanced and puts the players at a disadvantage.— zampmj
- Yeah Deion that how it is here sadly,eagles fans are super bi-polar.Not all but good percentage of philly fans sway with the wind.Now for the next 10 or so days if you ask anyone,McNabb's great and Reid is a playcalling guru. If #5 ever wins a ring it sure wont be here,and if Kolb is the #1 QB next year we'll be just like Detroit...GUARANTEED.— P.H.I
- Who really cares what Deion thinks. The true philadelphia sports fan loves philadelphia teams, doesn't neccessarily mean the players &/or coaches. We cheered tonight but let stink next week & see what happens. We have never won a super bowl yet the phillies won the world series & the Soul won the arena bowl. So yea Deion we really don't care if you don't like us. Keep talking & you might not get back in to the city to cover a game & if you do you may not get out w/o a problem. We are a no compromise produce or get out city. No exceptions. Love us or hate us that's the passion a true philadelphia sports fan possess.— bjones
- Oh please Neion Deion, we would treat Manning and Peyton the same we do McNabb. Even with their SB rings, which in case you didn't know Deion, McNabb has zero. More on Reid than McNabb but that's neither here or there. You perform to the level your capable of playing, we'll love and cheer you. You underperform and god forbid we boo a player making millions of dollars to play a sport. You want a crying towel Deion? Why are you even on the NFL network? Shouldn't you be babysitting Pacman Jones?— pflynn20
- Ask the Phillies about the Philly fans..Oh yeah,nice hat. Hey Deion its time for you to go, you are depriving your village of an idiot.— dyemondav
Comment removed.- Deion who?— sunshinestateeaglesfan
- Comment removed.
- Yes, Jimmy Rollins was right about Philly fans being frontrunners. But nobody but NO-bod-ee cares what you think, Deion, you egotistical hasbeen. From Philly fans to you... BITE ME!— patp
- That just like Deion - he always did all his talking away from the game. Prime time? Prime rib is better. He avoided sontact like a guy driving a new BMW on the expressway!— jakster
No one has ever done more with less than Donovan McNabb. He gets too much criticism. He was real good last night. But suddenly his receivers are making tough catches and Westbrook looked like Westbrook and a big back came in and converted a 3rd and 1. It's easier to look good when the other team has something to worry about other than you.- Neon Deon does bring about a visceral rage with many Eagles fans and their spouses. My dear, sweet wife will boo him too because of the egocentricity. So, list of opinions I do not care about thus far: Keshawn Johnson and Deon Sanders.— phan in TN
