Culpepper Upset At How Eagles Fans Treated Wife

[WizardOfAz]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper wasn't too happy about the way the Philadelphia Eagles treated him and his teammates in their 27-14 loss in Philadelphia last Sunday.

But he was even more upset about the way Philly fans treated his wife.

He and some other Vikings said some Eagles fans harassed their relatives as they watched their loved ones lose at Lincoln Financial Field.

Culpepper said he doesn't mind fans booing but he draws the line at "throwing stuff and spitting on people."

He said if he had been in the stands to see what happened, "Somebody definitely would've gotten hurt."

Eagles fans are worthless pieces of trash, this isn't news. And no Eagle fans, you aren't tough.

People with no class in Philadelphia? Doesn't surprise me, what a waste of space for those fans to turn on the opposing players' families .

I hope they suffer another embarrassing defeat. Thats completely dispicable.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

that's philly .... they should of gotten a suite or put some security around them ... you know what is going to happen in advance

this stuff happens a lot of places though ... this year in Houston someone dumped a beer on David Carrs wife

a lot of stupid, trashy crap happens at football games ... really should be cleaned up for fans of both teams that are playing

but so much is tolerated that the line keeps getting pushed more and more

a lot of false pride built up in the actions of others and alcohol lead to bad things

I used to live in philly, went to many games as an opposing fan for the other 3 sports and took my fair share of crap ... i expect people to talk ... just don't get violent and have a mob mentality ... eagles games were nuts, w/70k in the Vet and at least 5k of them belligerent drunks, you knew a problem would happen

at least they didn't piss on her

They might get past Atlanta, but nobody and I mean NOBODY is going to beat New England.

This reminds me of '02 when the Titans had to travel to Oakland for the AFC championship, and all of the family and travelling fans were all kept in the same section surrounded by security. Oak and Philly fans have both got to be the worse in the league.

When Philly comes here next year, I hope we SPANK the **** out of 'em

SEZ will be going nuts all over T.O that day

No excuse for mistreating someone's wife. I would just like to know if there was a luxury box available for her to sit in? Wouldn't that solve the problem?

 

[SuperSpck]

I remember the Monday night opener a few years ago where eagle fans (and lord knows there needs to be a word created to reach the lowest levels of humanity that some of these "fans" reach) were razzing Joe Jurevicious about his child's recent death. Just plain awful.

Are you serious?! What a bunch of losers!!!

 

[NickelBack]

Is their a holding cell and court room at the new field in Philly?

 

[jstadvl]

I do believe

there is. But most times, unless someone gets injured, they won't travel back in pursuit of charges so the perp usually gets off with a misdemeanor. It's be nice to see some of the yahoos really take a hit for their drunken stupidity.
And yes, I've even seen Cardinal fans that I would like to have seen locked up on the spot.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Did she wear a sign on her forehead that said "Dante Culpepper's wife" ...??

I'd recognize his momma, but not his wife.



Personally, he should have known what to expect, especially if she's that easy to identify. He should have found her a safer seat or had her cover up a little better.

Agreed.

Philly fans are absolutely the worst. It is like a pack of barbarians. I call Culpepper stupid for putting anyone in a Vikings jersey, and sitting them down in the crowd. Is it right that Philly fans act this way?, NO......but it is fact that they act this way.

Just ask Michael Irvin how bad the Philly fans are.


BTW - I have gone to the vet in full Cards gear, and survived. Show it loud and proud.

I am a survivor, as well.

I find that fans of other Philly sports teams (76ers, Phillies, Flyers) aren't nearly as bad as Eagles fans. I was at the Vet when (I think it was) Walz who broke his leg. Some jackarse sitting next to me kept screaming "Scrape him off the field." He was a total scumbag and, not surprisingly, a drunk.

Eagles fans are the worst and even the Eagles fans I know will tell you so. Many think they know everything and take it extremely personally when the Eagles lose. I don't know what it is.

I know a lot of Eagles fans who aren't scumbags ... my dad, brother, uncle and lots of my cousins and friends. I'm rooting for the Eagles this year for them, but it is very hard to do so because I would really hate for the scumbag fans to have a reason to celebrate.

BTW, I agree with BIM. Culpepper should have known better. C'mon, man. How long have you been in the NFL? You didn't know about this situation? Yeah, the behavior was completely wrong and outta line, but the best offense is a good defense.

LOL that doesnt mean anything. I have been there in full cards gear over a half a dozen times. The philly fans leave the cardinals fans alone out of pity. I get more "Aw shucks man, I hope you guys do well thsi year. I always root a little for the cards. Its just such a sad story man you've gotta pull for the" then any negative response. lol


Now where cowboys gear and try to survive!

 

[jstadvl]

Let me get this straight

because it's"normal" for Philly fans to act like animals towards other teams fans, they enabled the Philly fans by going there unprotected or not paying for a suite? They should know better?
I'm sorry but that type of logic just exaccerbates the situation. Be loud, be proud, don't take any smack form people in your house, but keep the drunken assault and battery teams out of it.
It shouldn't be tolerated anywhere.

Hey, I was at that game too! I was up in section 700 something, having obscenities and all shouted at me. I'm sure if we were winning, there would have been beer thrown too. At least my section was pretty cool when Walz went down...didn't seem to want to cheer an injury.

Now, when Jake brought us back to win in the opening game of 99, I was in the lower section, so when I celebrated on the way out, I heard groans of pain instead of insults. When I got to the parking lot, some guy shouted 'Plummer's a wife beater!' I told him Plummer wasn't even married. He was so frustrated with himself and his team he almost cried

 

[Syracusecards]

You know what would have solved this?

Taser. Taser everyone! NON-STOP TASER!!!!

 

[azdad1978]

Culpepper should have put his wife in a suite, but Philly fans are nothing but a drunk morons anyway.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

i was at a jet/eagles preseaons game up near the 700 club and some jackass shows up in a cowboys shirt

got flat out abused .... not sure what he was thinking

once again, i think it's disgusting that this type of crap happens, but it's the current situation and one that is well known ... at times you have to take precaution

I think it's ridiculous that people steal, break into houses, etc ... but I know it happens so I lock my doors and watch my possessions

I think it sucks that there are so many high crime places, but I know where they are and don't make it a point to go shopping there

I think it's horrible w/what is going on in the middle east, but you wont see my walking down the streets of iraq anytime

all these things are social ills that I would love to see fixed, but the bottom line is you know the score beforehand ... you can only complain so much when things go bad

Simple solution: eliminate alcohol!

However, won't happen due to $$$

HEY! I was at THAT game, too ... by myself in the lower level! Kick arse!

I'm not condoning the behavior and I think everyone ... opposing fan or not ... should expect a certain amount of tolerance and respect from people. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen in Philly ... or other stadiums.

One of my most friendly visits to a home team's stadium was the *gasp* Cowboys. They were super nice to me. (Well, I did get booed and heard some not-so-nice words as I walked down to the lower level at the game, but hey, I expected that.)

BTW, I've heard about a lot of fights with opposing fans at SDS, fellas.

They cut it off after the third quarter.

Plus, it won't help anyway. Those freaks start tailgating at 8 a.m. I'm driving to church and they're driving to the game. I pass them every Sunday morning there's a home game.

Will be interesting to see how the snow situation works out. I predict a storm and not of the weather kind.

I can relate. While I have never been to the Vet. I did go to the Oakland game in 2001 when the Cards won in OT. I wasn't even completly decked out and I was sitting in the family section, so I didn't get beer thrown on me. But in the parking lot two guys threatened to kill me and if it wasn't for security I would have gotten into a fight with at least one of them.

[Cardinal Bob]

From what I gathered from some Eagles folks, The Linc doesn't hold suites for players' wifes, familes, etc. They only hold one for the vistiting owner, if requested.

I was also told that the visiting team's families usually get pretty sweet tickets in the lower level (near the corners, I'm told) which is where more older, long-time season ticket holders are, rather than the miscreants that inhabited the 700 level. It's not like they put 'em in the upper deck, for chrissakes!

So I, for one, am not buying the "Culpepper should have known better" argument. Eagles fans are idiots, plain and simple. The blame goes there.
