(Please no stupid, ignorant cracks about throwing snowballs at Santa Claus) Oooh, oooh, what about Michael Irvin, or the jailhouse in the stadium? Or the batteries? Oh, so many batteries...
Hehehe... there's an Eaglet episode even more recent than those...
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper wasn't too happy about the way the Philadelphia Eagles treated him and his teammates in their 27-to-14 loss in Philly on Sunday. But he was even more upset about the way Philly fans treated his wife.
He and some other Vikings say some Eagles fans harassed their relatives as they watched their loved ones lose at Lincoln Financial Field.
Culpepper says he doesn't mind fans booing but says he draws the line at "throwing stuff and spitting on people."

Hell, even their
own heroes hate 'em!

Two of my co-workers have season tickets in the a few rows behind the section where visiting players get their tickets and said that no one threw anything or spat at Culpepper's wife. Did she get heckled for wearing a Culpepper jersey? Yeah. It's a football game, not a play or an opera.
Nobody threw beer or spat on them. You'd loose a $5,000 PSL, or more likely two, four or six of them. Do you really think anyone smart enough to afford, say $20,000 to throw down for a PSL would just throw it away to throw beer on Culpepper's wife???
Think for a minute, does that make any sense at all? Usually when I hear something that doesn't make sense, I don't believe it.
Couple that with the fact that the story is coming from a guy who just this week gave a $70k necklace to a kid during a presentation and then hunted the kid down afterwards to get it back. Yeah, I think I'll go with Culpepper's version of the story.
As per Chuck Bednarik, locally, the press has let him alone the last four or five years. He's suffering from advanced dementia, probably DP, and is just a bitter, angry, hateful old man. Take his ramblings for what they're worth.
