All the bad stuff you’ve heard about Philadelphia, site of the next three World Series games, is absolutely true.Boomer also shared a story from the 2002 NFC Championship game between the Bucs and Eagels that he attended. He was sitting in a luxury box and rooting for Tampa. Apparently that was a no-no because the owner of the box got mad and told him to "get the hell out of his box." During his walk to his car after the Bucs' win he said that " people were throwing bottles, breaking car windows and kicking car doors." It got so bad that Bucs "fans were getting Eagles jerseys and putting them over their Buccaneers jerseys so they wouldn’t get beat up."
The people in that town would give The Finger to their own mom. That’s how bad that town is.
It’s just incredible how ruthless and rude Philadelphia people are. They love their Phillies, but even Jimmy Rollins had a run-in with the fans earlier in the year and they started booing him. It’s crazy.
...
When I was in Philadelphia earlier this postseason with Cal Ripken Jr., Dennis Eckersley and Ernie Johnson for TBS, we got booed. We were just doing our show out in center field and people were walking by saying “You fat piece of [bleep]. . . . Tell Cal he’s gay. . . . Ernie Johnson sucks.”
I’m like, “Who the hell are these people?” We’ve got no part of baseball.
We’re doing the game and TBS stuff and these Phillies fans are just f-bombing us to death.
They are angry people.
He also went on to bash the Citizens Band Park, say that he'd rank Phillies fans as the worst in baseball, ahead of Oakland and Cleveland fans. Oh, and he also said that the Yankees would shut them up and win in five.
