Who says I don't like Philly? Spent the best 5 years of my life (college) there and the fans do nothing but amuse me. heck, sometimes I even root for the Iggles just for the heck of it. There's just something purely comical about the nastiness they exhibit, and heck, I think they take pride in the fact they are the toughest fans in sports. I think I saw a billboard on I-95 south for the Flyers proclaiming that their fans were voted the most intimidating in the NHL by the players, or all of the players except for Tie Domi, who tunes Flyers fans when they fall into his penalty box. Now THAT'S saying something.

But damn those people for getting that lousy Eagles fight song in my head! LOL

Fixed. Domi might be a jerk, but he's our jerk. :) [/leafsfanboylooser]

These threads only add to the lack of class on this site. I've lived in all those cities. All the girls there like it from behind.

Nice work. Well played. :)
 
I'm from Boston and I voted for Boston just based on the "Yankees Suck" chant being used anytime, any place when the Red Sox are playing anybody (and please spare me the bullshirt about how the smart Sox fan always keeps one eye on the Yankees).
Is it too much to ask for fans to stay sober enough to know which team the Red Sox are playing?
 
Atlanta -- Fans there just don't seem to care about their teams
Boston -- See Smallpotatoes' comment and add arrogance to that.
Indy -- Did you see the turnout for their Super Bowl "parade"? Pathetic.
Philly -- Santa Claus, Michael Irvin, you name it. They deserve the bad rep.
St. Louis -- Taking out billboards to tell everyone what great fans you are? Yeah.
 
Atlanta -- See Oz
Boston -- I'm a Yankee fan
Los Angeles -- Many of them think that going to a game is just "hip" and it's okay to arrive late and leave early.
Philly -- The most intimidating and dangerous in the States; rivals soccer hooligans. And I love them for it.
Tampa Bay -- Eh, thinking about it, I wish I voted for Miami. How can you have a two-time WS champ with one of the most charismatic pitchers (D-Train) and best hitters (Miggy Cabrera) in the game and routinely fail to put in 10,000 fans?
 
Atlanta is the worst and no one else is even close...

Most of the Florida cities are pretty bad, but no city deserves big-time sports less than Atlanta...

Yayyyyyyyyyy!!! Boooooooo!

Damn straight. ;D

Ha ha. Philly fans are unique, that's for sure. :)

Mizzou - Agreed. ATL deserves pro sports less than any city, and that includes LA, IMO
 
But in Atlanta I've always thought Thrashers games were exciting. It was the passion of those fans that turned me on to the NHL.
