Kleckineau Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 As gaffes go, Mark Sanchez has a high bar to clear to get past the Butt Fumble. But the former Jet and new Eagle gave it the ol' college try on Monday, offering up a quote that we're sure will follow him around. In discussing his new digs with Philadelphia, Sanchez offered up a direct assessment: "The fans are a lot nicer here." In addition to being the first time that the Philadelphia fans have been classified as nicer than anyone, this also seems a bit of misplaced frustration on Sanchez's part. Sure, he lost his job to injury and Geno Smith. And sure, he was unfairly reduced to a bit player in the let-Tim-Tebow-play debacle. But to rip the people who actually choose to root for the Jets? That's like kicking a puppy. Sanchez will be backing up Nick Foles, who's only coming off a career season, so it's possible Sanchez won't ever have to hear the gentle caresses of a Philly crowd. But Jets fans are a whole different story. When they're angry, you can hear them from orbit. The Eagles play the Jets at home the fourth game of preseason, and travel to New York to play the Giants in Week 17. We're certain Jets fans will be ready to show him just how nice they can be. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/mark-sanchez-says-philly-fans-are--nicer--than-new-york-fans-002700302.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaJetsFan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just wait till the first time Sanchez puts on a Santa suit and gets pelted by batteries. We'll see how "nice" Philly fans are then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Update: Sanchez clarified his comments on Twitter, saying he wasn't talking about Jets fans at all: I don't know. Could be, since the line before and after that aren't shown, nor was the question he responded to. But if he was comparing Philly fans past vs present then it seems he would have said, "The fans are a lot nicer now," rather than "The fans are a lot nicer here."

kelticwizard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Philly fans being the worst is a sports tradition. Nobody doubts it. WhenI was a kid I was reading Joe Garagiola's book Baseball Is A Funny Game and he recounted about how Philly fans were the worst. As his career started in 1946 this constitutes proof that Philly fans were the dregs going back to at least WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Tough to imagine why fans who have dealt with 5 practices of his incompetence wouldn't yet be nearly as fed up with him as those who dealt with 5 years of his incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he was asked the difference between NY and Philly ... In any event, I don't know why anyone would give a sh*t what this moron thinks. Do people really get upset by something like this? That fan treatment appears to have stuck with Sanchez, who on Monday offered up an interesting opinion on a difference between New York and Philadelphia. "The fans," Sanchez said, "are a lot nicer here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he was simply referring to the different part of Philly that he was in at that time. Don't be a dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 philly loves a winner. it will hate mark sanchez. but because of the Rocky ethos in the city, they always root for the underdog until the underdog sh*ts the bed and then its a lynching on Broad Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaJetsFan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Mark Sanchez: "The fans are a lot nicer here." DeSean Jackson: "In Philly sometimes, things could have gotten a little negative. They booed their own players, but here you don’t really get that." Me thinks Marky's in for a rude awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Mark will be a good backup. If he has to come in for short periods of time to just cover for the injurer starter he will be very adequate. If he plays long enough for a DC to get film and game plan for him he will be rendered useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I wish nothing but the best for Sanchize. It is amazing how far he has fallen from his 2009-2010 seasons. Those were fun years and it sucks in the end it didnt work here in NY. But he did get some real quality poohah and was on top of the NY world for a while.
