Opposing Fan Interviews with The Philly Sports Guy – Beating up Bills

Beating Up Bills

This week I was up The Philly Sports Guy was up in Buffalo, New York and talking to Bills fans from both sides of the border. These Bills fans have been beaten up over the years, so some of them were easy pickens. It doesn’t stop me from beating them up some more, but they are used to it by now. There was so much good footage that even after editing it down, there was enough for 4 parts, 1 for each Super Bowl loss. Good people and good stuff from a passionate fan base. Go Birds!

Trends:
Eagles have won 3 of last 4 meetings
12 of 13 games have been decided by 10 or fewer points
8 of 13 games have been decided by 7 or fewer points
Bills have won 3 of 4 vs Eagles in Buffalo
Bills have won 5 of 7 regular season games in Buffalo
Bills have held opponents to 17 points or fewer in 7 of 9 regular season games

Story: I do not have a story about the Bills vs the Eagles, however that will change as I will be in Buffalo supporting our BIRDS and looking for a huge bounce back from the previous 2 road games. I look for our Defense to make a couple of huge plays and we break this 2-game snide.

Current Line: Buffalo -1.5 Over/Under 43

Prediction: An inspired Eagles team starts to put the pieces back together led by the Defense and Special Teams. The Offense will have some trouble with the Bills 3rd ranked defense and ultimately it will be the short field that does in the Bills. Score: Eagles 19 Bills 11

Philly Fan Caves with The Philly Sports Guy – Episode 6

Episode 6 – Eagles All Over The Place

In this episode, we are in Glenolden, PA, and this married couple has not only an incredible fan cave, they have Eagles stuff all over their home. From the moment I walk in the door there is Eagles pictures, place mats, purses, and other paraphernalia throughout. Once I get into the fan cave they have it set up as Eagles party central. From the bar to the shrine, this area is an Eagles Haven. Also a couple of extra clips in the back that I wanted to share. A must see! Go Birds!

Opposing Fan Interviews with The Philly Sports Guy – Minnesota Vikings

This week I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota and talking to the Viking World Order fans and a few fans at my Pep Rally held at Sneaky Pete’s. These guys are Superfans and they did not let my banter deter them, but as always I have to get the last word. I may have let a “Skol” chant in for a couple of the guys but I make them work for it, as nobody gets their chants by The Philly Sports Guy without earning them. All in all a bunch of great interviews and worth watching thru to the end. This one is a long one, but as The Philly Sports Guy says, “I bring it every play, of every game! ALL DAY!” Go Birds!

Story: My story revolves around a playoff game but not the NFC Championship. January 16, 2005, I am out with friends Joe and Karen and Karen’s parents at a place called Champs (now PJ Whelihan’s) getting ready to watch the game. The bar is very quiet (which is not my scene), and Karen turns to me and says, “Jamie, you are being very quiet. Are you ok?” I respond, “It’s quiet in here. I am not sure what to say.” Joe turns to me and says, “What do you mean? Just say whatever!” I respond, “Ok. E A G L E S EAGLES!” as loudly as I can. Next thing I know, the owner of the bar comes over with a round of beers and tells us he was hoping someone would do that! Every time the Eagles scored they would bring the microphone over and I would lead everyone in the fight song, I was interviewed and in the local paper the following day, and of course the Eagles won 27-14 on their way to going to Super Bowl XXXIX. It was a good day that day! I look to have the same thing happen this Sunday!

Current Line: Vikings –3 O/U 44

Prediction: I think this will be a close game. If it comes down to who has the ball last I hope the defense has a huge stop. If we have the ball, I have no doubt Carson will lead his first ever game winning drive. Eagles 28 Vikings 23

Opposing Fan Interviews with The Philly Sports Guy – Week 5 – New York Jets

This week the 0 and 3 New York Jets come to Philadelphia for the first time in 8 years. That may seem to most of their fans like the last time they won a game, but it wasn’t in Philly since they have never beaten the Philadelphia Eagles. This is a fun piece where I go to find out if there really is any true Jets fans left in this world. Thankfully, I did not catch mono during the filming of any of this episode and some of these Jets fans have some “spleen-ing” to do about their undergarments! Go Birds!

Philly Fan Caves with The Philly Sports Guy – Episode 5

Episode 5: Stroll Down Memory Lane

In this episode, we are in Clifton Heights where this basement is full of memorabilia that will bring us back to the early 80’s thru the 90’s. The entire basement is set with Eagles stuff and the entire family gets in on the love. He does have one thing Dallas, but he placed it in an area that is appropriate. Also we get to rub it in to the Cowboys just a bit, just because we can! A fun stop and great Fan Cave. Go Birds!

Jets have lost 3 consecutive years coming off the bye week

Current Line: Eagles -14 Over/Under 43.5

Story: Largest Lead ever held by the Jets (21 points)

Although the Eagles have won all 10 meetings against the Jets, on October 3, 1993, (my 1st game that I was able to watch once out of the Navy) the Jets jumped out to a 21-0 lead by 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter led by Jets QB Boomer Esiason. Although (NFL Offensive Player of the Month in September) Randall Cunningham started the game, he was hurt in the game (fractured leg, lost for the season) and on came back up Bubby Brister. By the beginning of the 4th quarter the Eagles had tied it up at 28. After a 3 and out by the Jets, a good punt had the Eagles pinned on the 1 yard line. The next play from scrimmage, Bubby Brister went back to pass and to avoid the rush threw the ball away from inside the end zone. The call was Intentional Grounding in the End Zone and a Safety awarded to the Jets. The ensuing drive had Boomer bringing the Jets down the field to the Eagle 10. The next pass for Boomer would be picked off by Eric Allen and returned 94 yards for a touchdown. That score would be the game winner keeping the Eagles undefeated at 4-0.
Final Score: Eagles 35 Jets 30

The Philly Sports Guy Prediction: Eagles 31 Jets 9
