Oh, and how does showing that the Packer fans are less educated and make less money prove anything?
Looks like a thinly veiled slam to me.

i think the italics were caused by someone not closing italics in their post, thus when peopel quoted him they all got it too. Anyway, yes, what does education have to do with loyalty?

Based on what fact? Because the Packer fans wear cheese hats? Well the Eagles fans beat the piss outta other team's fans.. that's devotion/tradition, isn't it? :p

Thats insanity.

About as logical as your blanket statement based on no fact. :p

While this is impossible to measure, I would like to throw in a dark horse entry - Buffalo.

To me the word "passionate" is really vague from this article. If by passionate you mean "devotion and mindless, unwavering support for everything your team does," sure, I guess Green Bay has more passionate fans. I'm not impressed though - what the hell else is there to do in Green Bay? They have no other major sports franchises, and Philly has a 4, and the Eagles fans are still up there with the best of them.

Besides, I'd rather have a stadium that teams and their fans FEAR coming to... screw passionate. And don't bring up Jokeland. They are a bunch of sissies.

Don't forget the 20,000 or so Eagles fans that went all the way down to Miami, and the 5-10,000 that went to Carolina.

Yea right. When they started sucking this year, their games started to get blackedout on television because the fans stopped buying tickets. That is not passionate.

who cares about the actual buying tickets raider fans?

They're the passionate ones, genius.

In my experience, the people who are most passionate about teams around here (NY/Philly market) AREN'T the ones who go to the games, they can't afford the tickets anymore. The Yankees are a great example of that. Some of the die-hard fans still go to the games even if they can't afford to, but most of the people you see at games aren't that into the teams.

About as logical as your blanket statement based on no fact. :p

I was commenting on the eagles fans beating up the other fans. Thats insanity, and pure drunken idiocy. You must be a biased fan. I'm offering the unbiased truth.

I'm not a Packer or an Eagles fan, but I know plenty of both.

Packers by far.

Insanity does not equal passion.

As misguided as you may think it is, Green Bay is in a commanding lead in this poll. The only people that have really challenged the fact, is the philly fans themselves.

Kind of obnixious is an understatement. If you had a poll on the most obnoxious fans in the league, Packer fans would take it hands down.

No way. Eagles fans by far (I'm neither btw). They throw stuff at players, beat the crap out of each other... there was a courtroom in vet stadium for god sakes! No comparison IMO, Eagles fans are the worst.

Packer fans = obnoxious. Eagles fans = assholes. Two completely separate things. ;)

And we all know that ATOT polls are definitive on all issues...

Don't confuse opinion with fact...

If you don't trust the results of a poll on ATOT, then why create it?

I wish you luck on Sunday, BTW. You and I went head to head a few times last year about the Bucs and Eagles. I am not a fan of either (Lions/Falcons fan).

I think this year is Philly's year to get to the Super Bowl. I think Green Bay will give the Eagles a close game on Sunday, but I think the Eagles will win it. I also think they will FINALLY win a conference championship.

Good luck to both teams!

Good luck to Philly. My dad really wants a Chiefs-Eagles SB, as he grew up in Philly, but now we live in Kansas.
