5 Things I Despise More Than The Philadelphia Eagles

By Matt Knight

It’s no secret that I’m a die-hard New York Giants fan and my disdain for the Philadelphia Eagles is well documented. They’re an NFC East division rival, so of course the “hatred” (as it may be) runs very deep. Part of it might have to do with the fact that the Eagles have owned the Giants over the last decade or so, so it’s even more annoying to see them not only beat us in the playoffs but to advance to the Super Bowl.

That said, there are other things that make my blood boil even more than the Philadelphia Eagles.

  • #5 - Nickelback

    I don’t want it to seem that I’ve jumped on this bandwagon once it became cool to hate Nickelback. I’ve been there since day one from the very first time I heard their 2001 song “How You Remind Me.” While the band has embraced its stature of being one of the world’s most “hated bands”, they don’t care because they continue to sell out venues across the world…and to give credit where it’s due, they’re incredibly philanthropic when it comes to women’s issues and charity.

    But that music? Peeyew.

  • #4 - Terrible Grammar

    Nothing chaps my ass more than people who are arguing with you and use the wrong grammar.

    “Their/They’re/There”; “Your/You’re”…come on people! And please, stop saying “FIRST ANNUAL” in your event’s posters. THERE’S no such thing as “first annual.” It’s INAUGURAL. It can only be an annual event when it happens the second year.

  • #3 - The Dallas Cowboys

    This goes without saying. If there’s ONE thing that Eagles and Giants fans can agree on, it’s this one.

  • #2 - People Who Stand Up As Soon As The Plane Stops

    Bro, where are you going? You’re just going to be standing for the next 20 minutes until we get to the gate. Trust me, EVERYONE wants to get off the plane and you getting your bag from the overhead compartment just to make everyone even more uncomfortable is straight up stupidity.

    Let me also add in the people BEHIND me to rush the aisle and get off the plane instead of going in row order from front to back are also douches.

  • #1 - Eagles Fans (Well, Not ALL Eagles Fans)

    Let me be clear, I know plenty of Eagles fans that are perfectly normal people. It’s THESE Eagles fans that just make me shake my head. They embrace not being liked by anyone with their motto “No one likes us, we don’t care.” Cool.
