Pretty much what we already knew!

I laughed at the first part of the Gonzalez article. I compare my Eagles fandom to an addiction all the time (not meaning to make light of drug/alcohol/gambling addictions) because every year I’m crushed at the end of the season and like “f*** that, I’m done with this s***. Why do I care so much?” And then a week later, when Dallas is also eliminated, I’m like “ooohhh…it’s almost draft/training camp/etc.”

But calling to boycott the Eagles? Sorry John, that’s not what real fans do. I think it’s perfectly ok to be mad at/criticize/second guess the team. But to not support them is the antithesis of being a fan.

Maybe there comes a point where that’s ok. I’ve said on here before I’m a big Orioles fan. A group of fans led by the Baltimore equivalent of WIP led a boycott against them 2 years ago. I didn’t really agree with it, but I see their point. But despite the lack of championships, there is a HUGE difference between a team like the Orioles, or the Lions, or the Browns, and the Eagles.

needs to be referred to that 700 Level article. Then again, it probably won’t make a difference to him anyway…

Wayne Hawkins is no stranger to putting his body on the line for the team. Having missed only four games in his 10-year career with the Oakland Raiders during the 1960s, Hawkins has paid a price for his on-the-field sacrifices, which included returning to play one week after being knocked into a coma for 12 hours. Today, at age 71, he suffers from dementia as well as knee and shoulder problems. Hawkins receives a monthly pension payment from the NFL, says his wife, Sharon, in the amount of $201.36
