How about the Eagles Court they used to have at Veterans Stadium to arraign deviant fans during the game? Not sure if they have it at the new stadium. One of the upper-deck snowball throwers was our ex-governor, Fast Eddie Rendell.

I think it’s pretty easy to see what the political leanings of the respondents are.

Yeah every other friggin’ license plate down here is from one of those NE states or California that hate us so much. I follow the same rule as I do with national image, if it is so bad here why don’t you stay where you came from?...!

Betcha it’d look a lot bigger than that! There sure does seem to be a lot of “Texans at heart” that are caught somewhere else.

Hey wait just a damn minute! I live in Seattle but I was raised in Texas thank you. And I ain’t talkin Austin.

Therefore, I reserve the right to repatriate to the country of my childhood when I so choose.

And y’all can b*tch and holler but them’s the facts!

I remember Eagles Court and Fast Eddie, but I think many other stadiums at least have holding cells.
The thing about Philly fans is that they got tagged with a label, and any story of unruly behavior has to have references to Santa, booing Donovan McNabb, and the drunk court attached to it. There's a template for it, as Rush Limbaugh would say. I'm not saying unruly behavior does not happen in Philly; I am saying that it is not viewed the same when it happens in other cities.

She was originally from Illinois. And Slick Willy, the “smart president” who couldn’t keep is pants down, is from Arkansas...

I was initially shocked to see Pennsylvania ranked as the worst sports fans


Don’t be. Philadelphians are rabid sports fanatics....

They live and die by their teams. They wear their eccentricity as a badge of honor.

Example:

Snowballing Santa Claus

Yes this actually happened at an Eagles football game.

P.S. Born and raised in Philly , so i know of what I quote.

Texas the least favorite?


Lived in Tx for several years. Daughter born there.

Some very fine people who as you state wouldn’t mind being on their own.

Remember the Alamo....... :) :)

A fine example of Philly....

Also, you know “ don’t sit anywhere under the 400 level” as the halftime
break may find you getting a “ yellow rain shower” from those who are too lazy to make it to the restrooms......

It’s only natural for people who think the smartest are in Assachusetts to think the ugliest are in Alabama. Heck, I’ve seen some girls from Alabama who looked pretty enough to be from South Carolina!

My husband and I took my brother and sister-in-law on a tour of Ohio’s Amish country. She was amazed. “I didn’t know Ohio had such scenery!”
Chuckle. Evidently she isn’t alone. For the record, Ohio’s Amish country is an extremely popular autumn foliage tourist destination. If you are coming in October you need to have your hotel room reserved now.

Here’s my advise to Californians thinking about moving to Texas.

Dear Californians,
Don’t believe Texas is where you want to be. It’s hot and humid, we have fire ants and hurricanes. Property taxes will kill you if some six shooter toting drunk don’t first. Yeah there’s that Austin enclave of ex-Californians but we don’t recognize that as Texas anymore, even if they are holding the capital hostage. Course Dallas ain’t much better but least it’s near Ft Worth and Arlington, what they call up there the Metrosexualplex or something. You won’t want to breathe the air around Houston, or up in the Piney Woods if you’ve got allergies like most of you sissy’s do. And you won’t find that California cuisine thing called presentation or plating with the little artichoke in the middle of the plate neither, you’ll be lucky to see the dang plate with a big ole chicken fried steak hanging off the edges. Trust me, everything is bigger in Texas and that little Prius you love is going to be blown off the road by some real woman in an F-250 on our soon to be posted 85mph highways. It might make you feel at home to see so many Mexicans but ours have been here long as the country has and they work, hard like Texans like to do. So please for your own sake stay in California or move to Portland, Seattle, or Denver, you’ve already screwed them up.
Love ya
Bubba

So . . . Mississippi is the dumbest state even though it has the largest population of people-of-color, all of whom are left wing intellectuals of the greatest profundity and who are born clutching a Ph.D. dissertation on the dialectic. Shouldn't that make Mississippi the smartest state?

I guess those white people must be really ignorant to negate all that brilliance.

Full Agreement BUMP. Get the hell out, stay the hell out.

Count me in! I've got a Cruz missile ready for those that want to turn Texas into a blue state.
