Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Misanelli chumps Bayless

I have to admit, we (Philly) the fans do get a bad rap for being "rude, crude" and out of control, but to be honest, its toned down ALOT comparably in the last decade and I couldnt agree with Mike more - its decades old stories from cheesy mainstream 'journalists' that keep Philadelphia with a bad rep.

 

The best part is, way for Misanelli to completely rip a national ESPN guy hahaha he's prob going to get suspended

remember when he was suckin Lil Wayne's you-know-what?

He did a good job at being an “analyst” but he wasn’t THAT good nor was he correct about anything. But…Skip bayless thought otherwise I guess.

i have been wanting something like that to happen to skip bayless for a long time the guy talks out of his ass all the time he deserved the royal beatdown he got … DOWN GOES BAYLESS!!

ummmmm 1998

This conversation brought up a good point. A lot of the big reporters come from Dallas, New York, and Washington. So, when something in Philly happens, these guys love jumping on it and going on about how Philly has these crazy fans. I’ve been to Mets and Yankees games where the fans are just out of control, but it would never be popular to write something like that.

The national media is a bunch of tools

I remember a game at the Meadowlands, Giants vs. Chargers where they had to clear the stadium of all fans to play the end of a game because an official was injured from the ice balls being hurled onto the field from New York fans.

What about Cleveland? Their fans are the reason stadiums will not sell you bottled water without removing the cap because their fans pelted the field with full water bottles one game a few seasons ago.

Almost every year Jets fans boo their first round draft choice and the media thinks it’s funny. McNabb was booed by a small number of Eagles fans and we are forever branded as evil incarnates.

Are Philadelphia fans angels? No, but we are no worse than fans in most other cities like New York, Boston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, etc.

on that note

I mean, if they are going to bring up decade(s) old news, I was young, but I do recall a certain Giants (or Ginas if you will) vs. San Diego game in 1995 where they were getting pelted with ice snowballs. As a matter of fact, the kid went to jail and got a ton of fines – Years later he sued.
http://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/20/sports/snowball-thrower-sues.html

That brings up two points:

A) Wonder why you never hear about it? Probably because Philly has become the victim of media bias (Duh)
B) What a pu$$y – at least we dont sue the Eagles every time a fan gets thrown out, nor do the Eagles make public spectacles of our ‘unrulyness’

Skip's a punk

That whole “who are you anyway” BS speaks volumes about his character (or lack thereof). Mike should have asked him why he’s got such a man-crush on “America’s Team” When they’ve been the laughing stock (and second only to the Bengals in drug related arrests) since ‘97. He’s a metro-sexual punk bitch.

Skip Bayless is a total douchebag, that was the greatest piece of radio I have heard in some time!!! Fantastic!!!!

And being in So. Cal, I have seen Dodger fans starting fires in the stands during the freeway series in Anaheim, surprisingly never gets covered.

And if he wants dangerous fans, try going to a Raiders game. I was at the Chargers/Raiders game last year and the police force out because of that crowd was unlike anthing I had ever seen.

So, Bayless can kiss my lily white a$$!!

As long as there is evil in the world, the cowboys will have their fans.

I don't really mind this tough croud mystique

taken from WiP AM

March 20, 2006 – WIP fires Mike Missanelli for on-air and off-air altercations with co-workers.

so Missanelli is not exactly a saint here either guys. I actually love the fact people around the nation think were the craziest fans. I do understand that we don’t want to be looked at as thugs or some stuff like that but I love the reputation we have as fans. I think it scares other teams fans and the other team.

Let's get it.

I like the tough skinned persona, what annoys me is we are painted as low life thugs while other fans are supposed saints. Every team in every sport has jerk off fans but from some reason we are the only fan base that is composed solely of jerk offs.

Im right there with you

I love that crazy reputation we have and take some pride in it. Yes we get wild every once in a while but what city hasn’t. But the fact that when people come to philadelphia for a game, they know its our house, not theres.

That was highly entertaining. I can’t stand Skip Bayless. I swear to god he’s just trolling everyone. I’ve never heard him say anything intelligent.

I am the people's troll :3™

OUTSTANDING...

I’m no Missanelli fan… but that was excellent!!! My favorite highlights…

- Bayless, “If you’re gonna insult me, I’m gonna hang up.” Missanelli, I’m not like these lightweights you spar with on First Take."

- Bayless, “I’m gonna make my statement and then hang up.” Missanelli, “Awwww, don’t cry… Come on, Skip.”

- Bayless “I don’t insult anyone on First and 10.” Missinelli (laughing) “You insult people all the time!”

- Bayless (trying to bigtime Missanelli) “Say your name. I don’t even know who we are.” Missanelli, “It doesn’t matter. Call me Mr. X if you want.”

- Missanelli, “When was the last time you were in Philly and saw (fights)?” Bayless (thinking out loud) “19…98.” Missanelli, “1998? First of all, I think that’s a lie, but I’ll play along and use 1998. That’s over 10 years ago.” Bayless then acts like he’s offended that Missanelli called him a liar. Missanelli, “Produce the incident that occured in 1998.” Bayless “If they found out I was from Dallas, I was taking my life into my own hands.”

- Missanelli, “Can you admit you’re making generalizations that don’t exist anymore?” Bayless, “No, no I’m not.” Missanelli “But you don’t have any evidence to back that up, other than in 1998 when you covered a game and were afraid for yourself?” Bayless, “I know but it was a reputation that Philly well earned.” Missanelli “How do people get rid of reputations when people like you are out there? I guess we don’t, right? Because you’re afraid to do real research.”

- Missanelli, “Invite me on your First Take show.” Bayless, “You would not merit…” Missanelli, “Yeah, I would not merit… That means you’re afraid of me. That’s Skip Bayless.”

Wow, Skip Bayless REALLY hit all the major douchebaggery notes…

- Tried to “bigtime” the local guy. “I don’t know who you are.” I bet you do now, Skip.

- Was clearly overmatched, and rather than just say, “OK, maybe you have a point,” he continued to argue his point, without having any specific examples of recent incidents that have occured in Philly.

- Threatened to run twice when he didn’t like the direction of the conversation.

- “Taking my life into my own hands.” Wow, what a pussy. Seriously?!?!? Taking your life into your own hands? Really?!?!?!? No… REALLY? That’s the most unmanly, pussy statement I’ve ever heard… EV-ER. In the voice of the comic book guy on The Simpsons… “Biggest… pussy… ever.”

I have long despised Skip Bayless, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of that 7-minute radio segment. Thanks for posting, brother. Rec’d.

Not to reply to my own comment...

But I still just can’t over the "taking my life into my own hands" comment by Bayless. In all seriousness (and I’m really not even joking here), but shouldn’t Skip Bayless be forced to immediately forfeit his testicles?

I dont mind being called rude or violent or any of that. Its when they try to bring up things like mcnabb being booed and call us disloyal and the worst fans that offends me. We may be the worst fans to you if you decide to wear your cowboys jersey and get in our face, but were def not the worst fans. I consider us the best and most loyal fans you can get. We may boo when they mess up but its all out of frustration. The game still sells out next game and were back to cheering. Its tough love. And i dont know any other team with more passionate fans that ours. We have one of the loudest stadiums ever. Many players have said they hate playing here. We also have the most fans willing to travel 1000 miles just to see their team one day then fly back the same night. I could go on and on. With all that said, i dare a cowboys, giants, or redskins fan to get in my face and call us the worst fans in the league. I will give them a reason to call me violent.

Philly fans stick together

Leaving the NFC Champ game I was allowing the insta-Cardinal fans to celebrate until one jumped in my face and sceamed “PHILLY SUCKS!!” Without thinking I responded with a loud, “F%$# YOU!”. Before I knew it I was surrounded by Philly fans ready to take up the cause. None of them were itching for a fight following the game but were willing to stand up and support one of their own. To me, that is fan loyalty and support. If we really were as Bayless and others say we would have had fights all over that inflatable seat cushion they call a home because we were pissed to lose that game. However, fans were together and celebrating as one, and I witnessed no one in another ones grill trying to cause a problem.

As long as there is evil in the world, the cowboys will have their fans.

Oh yes...

I live down in maryland so im dealing with redskin fans everyday so whenever i see a philly fan on the road i become his wingman, letting them cut in front or just giving them a lot of space. haha

let me tell you something

I was at that Giants Chargers snowball game…honestly I thought there may be a MAJOR riot when they were going to call the game. guys were hurling iceballs from the upperdeck and letting them land on people on the lower level…kids, women…you name it. I didnt get hit(almost) but I have NEVER seen anythin like that at any public sporting event. Ive been to a few eagles game sand its not even close…Giant fans are the fucking worst and the national media should point it out.

that jerry jones was cut out of this picture. He did just as much sucking and skip and receiver no credit. It’s a shame. And jerseyjay, it can’t be that big of a violation when your signature is about athletes getting their asses hammered by guys haha.

I’m not a big Missanelli fan in general, but I definately agree with the point he was making here.

I’m not going to argue that there’s not violence and bad behavior at Philly sporting events (and a Phils-Mets game these is as rough as an Eagles game now in my opinion), but I’ve gotten pretty tired of journalists acting like it’s the ONLY place that this happens. Dodgers fans at the NLCS? no national stories. NY Giants fans burning cars after the playoff loss? No national stories, and it’s still “Philly-style” violence.

Lazy journalism.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Funny

Obviously Skip does not remember that McNabb’s house was vandalized prior to the NFC Championship game by Cardinals quasi fans. Cardinals! A place where they have more Cowboys fans than the home team. A place that could barely sell out their first playoff game in years. A place with NO fans still lights a fire on the lawn of a player’s home while a wife and child watch from inside. That is beyond classless yet Philly fans are the worst. Most passionate, fo sho. Lazy journalism is right.

But wait, we booed Santa! I guess it all makes sense then.
