Many Packer fans hate Joe and Troy & I do, too.

This year, I went to the Packer Eagles game. Eagle fans hate Aikman and Buck with even more passion than an Arab hates the Jews. All Eagle fans hate J & T from birth. It is an pure, penetrating hate with no room for any positive emotions whatsoever.

They hated everything about Aikman, especially his Cowboyness. The game got away early, so the Philly fans got to vent their spleens about about their favorite NFL themes.

1. The NFL is rigged and the object of the rigging is the Eagles.
2. Buck and Troy are a significant part of the plot.
3. Aikman and Buck are gay.
4. So are Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez.

Eagles fans also have such a self hating world view, you find yourself agreeing with them as a matter of self preservation. They also felt that Lambeau was beautiful temple to NFL football and Packer fans were the nicest people they had ever met. But because they are from "the Hostile City", they don't view "nice" as something positive to be. One guy guy even asked me, "Why are the people here all so nice"?, but it was asked in a tone that nice was always to be viewed with strong suspicion.

So Buck and Troy hate has legs throughout the NFL.
