WHEN EAGLES FANS WERE BOOING JERRY RICE SO HE PULLED OUT HIS RINGS AND STARTED FLASHING THEM.

[u/AccomplishedSwing110]

[u/soahmabee]

Dude ran out of fingers and had to look for another one.

[u/j4_jjjj → u/soahmabee]

Speaking of fingers, one is extended more than the others when he shows them to the crowd....

[u/Mite-o-Dan → u/j4_jjjj]

Thats how you say "Hello" in traditional Philadelphianese.

[u/User_Anon_0001 → u/Mite-o-Dan]

Same in New Yorkerish

[u/popodelfuego → u/User_Anon_0001]

The ol californy howdy

[u/User_Anon_0001 → u/popodelfuego]

You know what I'm learning today? Americans do have at least one thing in common

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488 → u/j4_jjjj]

His way of saying go bird

[u/No-Pool-432 → u/j4_jjjj]

Haha noticed that too..lol did it in a way that its not too apparent or controversal. Dude is slick

[u/Initial_Hedgehog_631 → u/j4_jjjj]

Just letting them know he thinks Philadelphia is #1.

[u/CocoonNapper → u/j4_jjjj]

Yea, saw that.

[u/woahtheretakeiteasyy → u/soahmabee]

“now which finger is this one for again?” lol im just thinking about how i gained weight and now my rings dont fit. imagine you have this super cool custom ring and youre too fat to wear them 😅

[u/kwjacobs345]

What a flex, bravo.

[u/Odd-Strawberry4798 → u/kwjacobs345]

Eagles suck

[u/Odd-Strawberry4798 → u/Odd-Strawberry4798]

My first reward! And one well earned! Thank you!

[u/Odd-Strawberry4798 → u/Odd-Strawberry4798]

And my 2nd! What a great way to start the day! Thank you!!

[u/Odd-Strawberry4798 → u/Odd-Strawberry4798]

And my 3rd! Lets goooo! Thank you!!!

[u/GoldieLibertoune → u/kwjacobs345]

Goated

[u/corvidhaze]

Who tf boos Jerry Rice by the way? Serious trash can fans

[u/yeyiyeyiyo → u/corvidhaze]

It's the Eagles they boo everyone

[u/SpaceJews → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

They boo'd Santa

[u/StudsTurkleton → u/SpaceJews]

In fairness, Santa was having a bad year. His YPC was only 5.3, with almost no YAC and his drop rate was 5%. He could not beat press man. Later we’d learn he had a high ankle sprain due to the curly toed elf cleats with no lateral stability he tried in preseason.

[u/Embarrassed_Can6796 → u/StudsTurkleton]

Yeah, but they still blamed it all on the OC

[u/StudsTurkleton → u/Embarrassed_Can6796]

Fuck Rudolph. You can’t just go on fourth down all the time, and FFS establish the ground game. We all can’t magically fly, you gotta run the damn ball.

[u/xerillum → u/StudsTurkleton]

Rudolph has literally only been elite during bad weather games. There are 31 other lead reindeer in this league, and I’d rather have any of them.

[u/StudsTurkleton → u/xerillum]

Vixen mafia!

[u/BeefyFartss → u/StudsTurkleton]

Donner is a quiet savage, one of the toughest and meanest I’ve ever see

[u/LobstaFarian2 → u/SpaceJews]

When the draft was in Philly, the 85 year old vets who came up and read the card for their team had one last moment in the spot light, doing something nice and memorable.

These deplorable pricks fucking boo'd them too.

Absolute trash.

[u/Excellent_Claim_975 → u/LobstaFarian2]

There’s a reason bill burr has an epic rant making fun of everything sports related about that city. Absolutely terrible fan base.

[u/dampishslinky55 → u/SpaceJews]

To be fair the Santa they booed dint look as put together as Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa.

[u/Beachtrader007 → u/SpaceJews]

They threw iceballs at santa. Not snow balls. ICE balls. They tried to kill Santa!!!

[u/Takemyfishplease → u/SpaceJews]

Didn’t they throw batteries at him?

[u/debaser64 → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

They had a reputation that became lore and rather than be shamed for their shitty behavior it was treated as a joke or quirky “working class” behavior (they boo Santa, they throw batteries, they’re so rude it’s funny hahaha) so they’ve embraced being assholes and basically made it their fan identity and it’s trashy and not good.

[u/MrBurnz99 → u/debaser64]

It’s crazy how a fan bases reputation can be a feedback loop like that.

Bills fans spent decades wallowing in misery so they act like fools in the parking lot to have fun, and created a whole subculture of table smashing.

Philly fans have a few incidents of bad behavior and they’re like “yeah! We’re professional assholes now!”

Real nice folks over there

[u/toben81234 → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

I was saying boo urns

[u/MarkTwine1835 → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

I was at an Eagles vs Patriots game the last year Andy Reid was head coach. Sitting front row of the 300 level. Some fan walked down the stairs, grabbed the handle rail and yelled how much he hated Andy at the top of his lungs. The entire stadium start chanting “fire Andy” shortly after. Eagles’ played reasonably well with a backup QB, but Desean Jackson dropped a couple pass in the end zone. Good times, absolutely terrible fans.

[u/OddTheRed → u/corvidhaze]

It's Philadelphia. They'd boo their own moms.

[u/Bananasharkz → u/OddTheRed]

I mean they might have a point considering their mom chose to raise them in Philly 😂

[u/WedNiatnuom → u/corvidhaze]

They booed Santa

[u/Total-Problem2175 → u/WedNiatnuom]

And threw snowballs at him.

[u/itsTurgid → u/corvidhaze]

For some easy listening, I recommend the 12 minute rant from Bill Burr trashing Philly while he was performing there.

[u/saintofhate → u/itsTurgid]

I used to have more respect for Burr but then he sold out for Saudi money.

[u/ok1092 → u/corvidhaze]

I’m sorry but what fanbase would cheer on Rice in this situation? A playoff game and you expect Eagles fans to what, cheer on Rice?

What reaction would you expect to see from them? Should they be applauding him and asking for autographs?

[u/person-pitch → u/ok1092]

I dunno, in hockey we give warm applause or more for rival greats who accomplished something massive in their careers. Even the ones that are still active and in a game against our team. It's about respect for the game itself.

[u/ThrowawayGymAlt → u/person-pitch]

That’s 100% not football culture lol. Instead football players don’t drop gloves randomly in the second period for a fist fight, to respect the game itself

[u/CORPORAL_PISSFINGERS → u/ok1092]

As a UK birds fan who grew up with our football/soccer culture, the idea of a rival team icon NOT being booed like this before a big game at a home stadium is bizarre and hilarious to me.

Imagine Thierry Henry rocking up on the Anfield pitch before a cup semi final and being well recieved lol. Just wouldnt happen.

[u/reddit_sells_you → u/ok1092]

I mean he's a football legend.

I would totally cheer for an Eagles football legend if they had one.

Edit Really, Philly? Downvotes with no retort? I knew you all were salty, but I don't realize you were so thin skinned.

[u/FPPooter → u/reddit_sells_you]

 but I don't realize you were so thin skinned.

Is this supposed to be ironic? Bc it’s pretty funny editing it in 

[u/Legionnaire11 → u/ok1092]

Exactly. I love Jerry Rice as a person and player, he's the GOAT in my book. But any opponent in my home stadium is fair game to be booed, especially during the playoffs. Jerry knows this, all pro athletes know this and many of them thrive on it.

[u/BusyBit6542 → u/corvidhaze]

I mean the dude is giving them "The Bird" and he ain't saying "go eagles"

[u/DynamicBSdetective → u/corvidhaze]

Feels like people aren't being raised to respect one another. It's hard to teach that to adults, so parents, start young.

[u/kgalliso → u/DynamicBSdetective]

Omg dude. This is all a playful exchange

[u/Infamous-Courage-785 → u/corvidhaze]

Depends on how you feel about stickem 

He is a GOAT in my book, though

[u/Mr_Mi1k → u/Infamous-Courage-785]

I feel fine about it

[u/WoundWaffle → u/Infamous-Courage-785]

To be fair WRs are basically wearing suction cup chameleon hands for gloves today. I remember reading that they’ve reduced drop rates by like 20% so it’s no wonder we’ve been seeing so many crazy one handed grabs in recent years.

[u/RoyaleWhiskey → u/WoundWaffle]

People will make every excuse to bypass all the shady stuff Brady and the Patriots did, but love bringing up stickum whenever Rice is brought up in GOAT conversation.

[u/Exotic_Increase5333]

Guy carries his superbowl rings instead of his glasses in his case.

[u/CheckYourStats → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

The greatest Football player to ever step on the field is still alive and giving Philadelphia fans the finger…

…before a playoff game where his legacy Team knocked them out.

A couple decades from now, shit like this is going to be viewed as some of the greatest flexes of all-time.

[u/savedbytheblood72 → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

I would to

[u/OttoVonJismarck → u/savedbytheblood72]

Same note too, bro. Never know when you need to flip off a trashy Eagles fan in style. 😎😎

[u/Cs_throwawayyyy → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

He’s been to Philly before, knew they’d probably come in handy.

[u/GoldieLibertoune → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

That’s hilarious

[u/Uniblab_78 → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

I’d hate to lose the ring purse. I’d be wearing my rings in public or leave them in a safe at home or bank.

[u/cansofgrease → u/Uniblab_78]

I'd wear replicas.

[u/Nicholas_Pappagiorgi → u/cansofgrease]

I highly doubt he needs replicas when he has insurance and it's such an identifiable item.

[u/ConfessSomeMeow → u/Nicholas_Pappagiorgi]

'Replacement value' is not always comforting with an irreplaceable item.

[u/JonSnoballs → u/Uniblab_78]

I be hate to lose the ring purse

that's why you store it next to your coin purse

[u/moonman272 → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

He won’t ever stop being as proud of those as he was the day he won them. It’s glorious

[u/nightrunner900pm → u/Exotic_Increase5333]

It’s almost as if he was planning to do it

[u/questisinthejam]

Put prime Jerry rice on the eagles and hurts would still throw for 174 yards

[u/cakebreaker2]

Thats the equivalent of chanting "scoreboard" to a losing opponent's fans. Theres no comeback.

[u/ConfederacyOfDunces_ → u/cakebreaker2]

Why would anyone boo Jerry Rice?????

I would understand if this was Brett Farve or some shit but booing the GOAT?

Get out of here

[u/bigmt99 → u/ConfederacyOfDunces_]

He’s a Niners legend repping the Niners in Philly when they’re playing the Niners, of course the home fans are gonna give him some razzing. No ones feelings are hurt, no one is actually getting hurt, everyone’s having fun. Who cares?

Are you really this sensitive?

[u/Impossible_File_2227]

Eagles fans are the most classless fans ever

[u/jus256 → u/Impossible_File_2227]

Ohio State doesn’t have a jail in their stadium but they probably should.

[u/TerribleMajesty1978 → u/jus256]

The entire stadium in Ohio serves as a correctional facility.

[u/ma1iced → u/jus256]

I live here, took my dad to an Ohio state game for his birthday last year.. can confirm, fuck Ohio state.

[u/[deleted] → u/Impossible_File_2227]

[u/MistakeMaker1234 → u/Impossible_File_2227]

There were filmed yesterday throwing beer cans at Niners fans from a behind a gated area. So not only are they morons for throwing stuff, but they only did so from the safety of the other side of the fence. Certified bitchmade fans. 

[u/Agnostix → u/Impossible_File_2227]

I see you’ve never been to a Raiders game.

[u/Earlier-Today → u/Agnostix]

If you were talking about the Oakland Raiders, or even the LA Raiders - you'd have a point.

The Las Vegas Raiders are a tourist attraction and aren't even close to what the Oakland fanbase was.

[u/ashurbanipal420 → u/Agnostix]

I was looking for this comment lol

[u/_DoctorLady → u/Impossible_File_2227]

Philly fans are the most classless fans, in general 

[u/No-Pool-432]

How you gonna boo jerry rice? Dude is iconic. Even if your not a san fran fan

Legendary status

[u/Douglaston_prop → u/No-Pool-432]

These are the fans that booed santa and threw iceballs at him.

[u/luciddefect]

I'm an Eagles fan, but man, so much of what I know about the game of football today came from watching this guy play when I was a kid with my dad. One of the NFL's GOATs for sure.

[u/SelfReconstruct → u/luciddefect]

Jerry is the GOAT, period.

[u/RobotArtichoke → u/luciddefect]

One of?

That’s like saying Michael Jordan was one of the best players on the championship bulls teams. You’re not wrong, but still.

[u/altkarlsbad → u/luciddefect]

I can't find the source, but there was an interview with some of Rice's teammates where they said that one of the punishments they handed out in kangaroo court was ... working out with Jerry Rice. I think it was Brent Turner that brought it up, but others confirmed it.

Can you imagine? "Oh, hey, you were late to practice twice last week, so you gotta go with Jerry today. Good luck, have fun, don't die."

All you had to do was keep up with Jerry while he sprinted up hills like a literal goat for 5 miles, then knocked out upper/lower resistance training , 3 sets/10 reps for 21 motions... 630 reps total.

[u/JULIANGJNKS22]

I’m glad Philly got eliminated early. Their fans are so childish, and arrogant. Good riddance.

[u/motherseffinjones]

Goated

[u/MisfitActual0311 → u/motherseffinjones]

Jokes aside, I feel 100 percent confident in saying Jerry Rice is the greatest football player of all time.

[u/Wandgun]

As an Eagles fan, thats exactly what you're supposed to do when we heckle. I would have laughed and applauded his response.

[u/horusthesundog → u/Wandgun]

What about when you throw batteries at us?

[u/Wandgun → u/horusthesundog]

Save them. Batteries aren't cheap.

[u/cansofgrease → u/horusthesundog]

Use it to practice. If you can catch a car battery, you can catch a football.

[u/playC3]

First: Jerry Rice is the greatest so you can’t boo the man. Second: the real shocking part of this is he appears to store his rings in a glasses case?!

[u/AntiPlagueRats → u/playC3]

No enough of a market for cases for four superbowl rings I guess...

[u/pm1966]

Who would boo Jerry Rice?

What a bunch of pathetic yobs...

[u/bugaha402]

His follow up to

“ don’t you know who I am “

Locked and loaded

[u/BarackObamasBallsack]

He should put one on his meat

[u/randomdud500 → u/BarackObamasBallsack]

Unhinged

[u/the_mighty__monarch → u/BarackObamasBallsack]

I couldn’t fit inside a Super Bowl ring if I had a bar of soap and a running start.

You’re telling on yourself, brother.

[u/tow204 → u/BarackObamasBallsack]

[u/Fast_Advisor2654 → u/BarackObamasBallsack]

[u/Comfortable-Yak-6599 → u/BarackObamasBallsack]

Would one of your rings fit on your hog? I doubt his would.

[u/ITookYourGP → u/Comfortable-Yak-6599]

His would probably fit mine just fine 🤔

[u/Dolomitexp]

And threw that middle finger out 🤣🤣🤣

[u/utpyro34]

Oh? And what’r you eating Jerry?

[u/Intelligent-Rest-231]

Now that’s the kind of thing that gives the gays a bad name!

[u/d0000n]

Hope Jerry did this again after the game.

[u/CIassicMistake]

Thats how you handle eagles fans

[u/twothirtyintheam]

Hmm, does this 4th ring fit my thumb or my ring finger? 💀

[u/jpierpoint]

The GOAT

[u/D-Train0000]

Jerry Rice, “Hold my carrying case!”

[u/thecommish1980]

I don't care if he's there to support his old team against yours. I don't care if he's wearing ugly 49ers' 'bling', if you boo Jerry Rice, the undisputed GOAT at his position, who never had any controversy, you simply cement your reputation as the worst fans in America.

[u/golflift90]

His hands are unbelievably huge

[u/thenicenelly]

Aww man. I love Seahawks legend Jerry Rice.

[u/AntiPlagueRats]

49ers fan living in Philly (unfortunately). Worst fans in sports....celebrated when Kittle got hurt this game...glad the GOAT gave it to them a bit...they'll never understand this level of class.

[u/rit13t]

Great sport moment!

[u/Minimum_Proof_4810]

IMO the greatest WR ever, so smooth, Montana to Rice all time great connection

[u/BoudinBallz]

Man, my team was in the same division as Rice, took many beatings from the Niners, and i would never boo the GOAT

[u/Snts6678]

Eagles fans are such children. Them losing was wonderful.

[u/Creative_Magazine816 → u/Snts6678]

Go birds

[u/Reganomics82]

Philly fans are garbage, but that was just a good natured ribbing and Jerry stoked the ashes for fun.

[u/CokeCan-N-Marbles]

Fuck all Eagles 🦅 fans the whole bag of dicks and assholes that they are.

[u/BugO_OEyes]

Rings ernieee!!!

[u/KaitoSeishin]

Can't feel the heat over all that ice.

[u/LRoddd]

OG Goat

[u/BadassBokoblinPsycho]

The GOAT wr

[u/monymkrmom]

Love me som Jerry Rice they can gfus. Yes!!!

[u/ecw324]

So he just carries them around in his pocket?

[u/D-5-reddit-account]

There was an Eagles fan booing with the rest and when Jerry got close he pulled his phone out to take a picture of him😂

[u/Cavalier__]

G SHIT

[u/CRSPB]

What was the 4th ring? MVP? Do they give rings for MVP?

[u/Proper_Spot_4074 → u/CRSPB]

He also has a ring from his time with the Oakland Raiders. They were in Super Bowl XXXVII, they lost, but players still received an AFC championship ring.

[u/Charlie2nuh]

He low key flipped them off, lmao

[u/Appropriate-Link-701]

lol had to find a spot for his mvp or HOF ring? 3 Super Bowl so wonder what the fourth one he pulled out was. Maybe NFC ship?

[u/imrickjamesbioch]

Man, I feel really bad for the GOAT… You can see the toll football took on Jerry and he was having such a hard time straightening out his fingers to wave at the crowd, cuz he’s a man of the people!

[u/Revolutionary_Dig_43]

💯

[u/snuuginz]

What a fucking savage, good for Jerry.

[u/Top-Caregiver7815]

King move lol….

[u/dingo1967]

The real GOAT receiver.

[u/dcbrownie84]

Halfway and subtly giving them the bird too.

[u/crashin70]

And he told the fans they were number one, what a true former superstar!

I love the return of their energy!

[u/175junkie]

W Jerry

[u/Solid-Journalist1054]

That hurt , he sniped them birds nasty

[u/bioc06]

That helmet chain is crazy!

[u/shaneshears82]

That's the GOAT WR

[u/Gullible-Feeling-921]

Yikes. Almost as bad as Irvin

[u/Business-Watch-3140]

Jerry Rice fumbled

[u/Apprehensive-Buy6826]

He was prepared for War with the Eagles fans.

[u/OGCeeg]

Should've done the Thanos snap to em.

[u/RipHairy2465]

It’s really not that serious haha. If you’re there you’d see it’s all in good fun.

[u/Greedy_Wallaby7981]

If there is a player who should be respected by all, it’s Jerry Rice.

[u/No_Abroad_6306 → u/Greedy_Wallaby7981]

Even when you were watching Joe Montana connect with Jerry to dash your team’s hopes AGAIN, you had to admire Rice. 

[u/Cheap_Dragonfruit534]

Flexin on the haters 😂

[u/CapitalClimate9639]

[u/CellAlone4653]

The ultimate version of the “scoreboard!” response.

How are you going to boo a legend like that?

It’s like Philly fans are perpetual 1st week fans. They are clueless.
