You are the GOAT. I have been an Eagles season ticketholder for almost 30 years and never heard this story. So glad you are going to continue to provide your unparalleled content for all to enjoy.
Earlier in the season they gave up 62 points in a game to the rival Giants..which still stand as club records for most points allowed by the Eagles and scored by the G-Men in a game,
I don't think I've ever heard of a fan incident such as this one. Zone defense against the fans who stormed the field would've been far more effective than man-to-man defense.
Was any non-reusable nacho cheese harmed in this incident? Because this unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about a Steelers fan in 1987 driving his car through Three Rivers Stadium and destroying nacho cheese in the process.
To a typical Philadelphian like myself, Eagles fans expressing this behavior is no shock. Now if the 2022 Eagles do not win the Super Bowl this year, the fans might express their displeasure as they did in 1972.
I wanted to see a riot when Ben Simmons came back and played but it didn't happen, doubt if it would happen to the eagles losing today. Those were different philly fans in the 70s.
Eagles fan here who loved Bills rant. They've won a superbowl since though so that part of the rant is irrelevant nowadays. He was right though in many ways.
In all fairness though, Big Bad Bobby went on an tear in 1972, in terms of rushing yards. 968 for the season, an record that stood for 34 years, until Michael Vick went over the 1,000 barrier in 2006.
thanks for explaining the santa claus deal. i've heard of it, but didn't really know why beyond "philly booed santa once". i'll them a bit of a pass for that, and considering what oj ended up doing, probably best they avoided getting him.
I remember the '72 Eagles for two things. beating the Oilers by one point in a "battle of the baddies" (the teams were a combined 1-14-1 coming in and would finish the season with 3 wins combined) and another one point win over a team they would not face again for 20 years, the longest gap between meetings in NFL history (Chiefs).
@@Rockhound6165 ikr? Do people have the same opinion about Flyers fans or Philadelphia Union fans? Those sports teams aren't really watched by a large audience in America.
Ah yes, who can forget the'68 season when during Super Bowl III Santa showed up in the stands and was attacked by a bunch of Eagles fans who were there for some odd reason in what's known as the Heidi Game?
In today's NFL television environment, the game would have been televised locally in Philadelphia, and the network postgame shows would have been interrupted, and viewers would have been switched to Philly for elite coverage of the incident.
And then the league would've announced it was "conducting an investigation" which would've taken 2 weeks and not resulted in anything happening to anybody.
10:25 - Was that a botched XP that turned into a one point conversion, or a botched FG that turned into a TD? Either way, Butkus catching that and then clowning the defender was priceless.
No, it came in the 90's I think. It is when complaints of the poorly maintained turf which was three times more harder and dangerous than the 1971, 1977, and 1982 surfaces.
Really Eagles fans throwing snowballs at Santa like he's real? It's like believing the Crinch is real. That moment really isn't worth getting outraged at Eagles fans at. 😅
I know dumb decisions was made to highlight dumb decisions by coaches. However, you gotta do a dumb decisions video about the Jacobi Meyers lateral. All he had to do was fall or get tackled, and the game would gone to overtime. Instead he throws a lateral 30 yards behind him to seemingly no one, and it's caught by the Raiders for a game winning touchdown.
1972 was the nadir for Philadelphia sports teams. The Phillies won less than 60 games; Steve Carlton won 27 of those 59 games; The 76'ers had the worst season in NBA history winning only 9 games and the Eagles won 2 games. In total three professional teams in one city combined to win 70 games! Even the Flyers were bad in the 71-72 season only winning 26 games. So, total it up and the City of Philadelphia got to celebrate a victory only 96 times in 4 professional sports seasons. It's no wonder that fan dumped trash on the field. They used to pile trash bags into a cart at The Vet to take it to the dumpsters so that's probably where he got multiple bags, or it could have been the custodian himself dumping the trash on the field.
Honestly it seems like every time the Philadelphia Eagles get a new stadium we Eagles fans seem to get more well behaved, I mean Eagles fans at Lincoln Financial Field are altar boys and girls compared to fans who went to Veterans Stadium and are saintly compared to fans who went to Franklin Field, and you have to remember, Veterans Stadium had a dedicated jail in it (and it was regularly used throughout the year as both the Eagles and Phillies shared the stadium) Edit: I forgot Temple played at Veterans Stadium, and the thing about Veterans Stadium having a jail is a myth, the City of Philadelphia assigned a judge for Eagles game days... It's actually Lincoln Financial Field that has the jail cell built-in
The Eagles' fans were mad because their team was so terrible, they might have done better if they had just spiked the ball to the ground on every single play.
Lincoln Financial field is known as the worlds largest prison. It holds 60k convicted felons! You have to have a department of correction card just to get in. It’s a beautiful sight watching three generations of Eagles fans throwing D batteries at the Refs!
No, no, no, no. You are 100% wrong. The Eagles did not pick a fan to dress up like Santa on that fateful day in 1968. What happened was they were prepared to have some kind of Christmas show at halftime complete with Santa and his sleigh but there was a blizzard the night before and the guy who was supposed to be Santa was a no show because he thought they were going to cancel the halftime show so the team had to act fast and saw this guy in a ratty Santa suit and decided he'd be an adequate substitute. When the parade started and the fans saw this guy in a cheap, ratty Santa suit walking around the field, they thought it was but another example of the cheapness of the ownership and vented their frustration. Keep in mind that this was a week after the Eagles stupidly won over the Saints to lose themselves the shot at getting OJ Simpson in the following draft. In retrospect you have to agree with the fans here although the target of their frustration was not at fault. Also, this was 54 years ago. I think it's time to let it go.
Another thing, say what you want about Eagle fans but they are nothing if not loyal. What people forget that in the 1968 snowballs at Santa game, it was the last game of the season with the team standing at 2-11 on a cold and dreary day after a blizzard and the game was a sell out. Same with this game. How many teams have 50+ thousand fans out to see a 2 win team? And yes Eagle fans are dicks(I can't stand them) but you never hear of anyone getting stabbed or shot like in other cities.
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Ask Him into your life. Cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord & your Savior. One day, YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

The level of historical context and understanding really is on a completely different level, so happy I found this channel.
Wow this was amazing. I never knew about this . I am so happy that you are now full time . I am sharing each video on my social media pages
10:47 Hehe. Dick Butkus catching an extra point pass, smiling, and handing the ball to an Eagle defender....
Brutal
LOVING the extra content already! Thanks for bypassing your law degree to educate and entertain us. Very much appreciated, and not lost on us!

Always good to see a video involving the Bears

They won't. If they win though
@@platinumdiamond7 They BETTER win! Philly fans don't expect anything less.
@@platinumdiamond7 People only protest these days when the government gives them permission and pays them for it.

Bill Burrs Philly rant is all you need to hear to know about Philadelphians.
Eagles fan here who loved Bills rant. They've won a superbowl since though so that part of the rant is irrelevant nowadays. He was right though in many ways.
Funny part was when he got the most boos when he said he hoped somebody snapped McNabbs legs, not when he insulted them personally
Here's the Philly Rant to those who never seen it.
ruclips.net/video/3jMhoGUiIkk/видео.html
What really needs to be known is, that rant won them over.
@@john_wesley_walsh and now Nia pushed many away.
AGAIN! I have said this before and , BY GOD, I will say it again, THIS CHANNEL RUUUUUUULES!!!! It doesn't get any better than this!!!!
This would be the last game involving a Chicago team that would feature thousands of fans rushing the field.
Me waiting for JG 09 doing a video on Colts vs Vikings
In all fairness though, Big Bad Bobby went on an tear in 1972, in terms of rushing yards. 968 for the season, an record that stood for 34 years, until Michael Vick went over the 1,000 barrier in 2006.
That Dick Butkus interception was epic
thanks for explaining the santa claus deal.

i'll them a bit of a pass for that, and considering what oj ended up doing, probably best they avoided getting him.
I wish there was footage of the full game, it's to bad that was the era where tapes were erased and reused.
Lol can’t wait for you to do the Matt Ryan collapse from yesterday
Lions fans suddenly seem like amateurs compared to these Philly fans…😂
Any insights or potential videos from the Colts-Vikings game yesterday?
I’ll say the Patriots decision-making against the Raiders made me say, “I’m sorry, WHAT?!”
I remember the '72 Eagles for two things. beating the Oilers by one point in a "battle of the baddies" (the teams were a combined 1-14-1 coming in and would finish the season with 3 wins combined) and another one point win over a team they would not face again for 20 years, the longest gap between meetings in NFL history (Chiefs).
1-14-1? How did they lose 14 games and win 1 and tie 1 in a 14-game season?
This was the 9th game of the season and it was the combined records for both teams going in.
Sorry glanced over that part. Re-reading it I see my mistake. Apologies.
@@richardgazinia5482 No need, I probably could've explained it better.
Thanks JG9 for reminding me on how Eagles fans react to LOSING. 😅
This would be a peak Justin Fields Bears victory once the D improves.
What do you expect from eagles fans? They're the cleveland of the East Coast.
Who else is here waiting for JG to decide if this week's Dumb Decisions is gonna be the Jets or the Cowboys?
There was a similar iccident in Australia on Saturday!
They still putting people in prison camps for getting the virus over there? Or is the "new government" pretending that never happened?
Eagles fans being unruly vandals? Shocking!
Hey we're not all vandals!
Not just Eagles fan. Basically all Philly sports teams have fans like this
@@cancerstinks1 U ain't wrong there sadly
@@cancerstinks1 spoken like someone without a clue.

From back when being a pre-2017 Philadelphia Eagles fan was self-imposed hard labor.
7:29-7:45 Is this what y'all came for?
In today's NFL television environment, the game would have been televised locally in Philadelphia, and the network postgame shows would have been interrupted, and viewers would have been switched to Philly for elite coverage of the incident.
Tyoo!
I meant "live coverage".
And then the league would've announced it was "conducting an investigation" which would've taken 2 weeks and not resulted in anything happening to anybody.
Ed khayat was the first Arab head coach in nfl history
10:25 - Was that a botched XP that turned into a one point conversion, or a botched FG that turned into a TD? Either way, Butkus catching that and then clowning the defender was priceless.
Extra point
Eagles have all the biggest rowdy fans ever
Is this where Eagles Court came from?
No, it came in the 90's I think. It is when complaints of the poorly maintained turf which was three times more harder and dangerous than the 1971, 1977, and 1982 surfaces.

😂I was thinking the same thing
What if Santa was a Cowboys fan?
This is a highlight for Eagles fans considering there were some Eagles fans eating horse crap of the street following their Super Bowl win
It's known as the city of brotherly love you know

Do a video on the Fog Bowl in the 1988 playoffs

Dick but butkus catches a touchdown pass and it's not even mentioned.
Go to 7:40 for the famous and my favourite qb line by our host 👍😁

Jeez the Bills are already in the playoffs. What's taking all these other teams so long? Slackers. :)

I think Liske was best Qb out of the three
Santa deserved it, just sayin'.
Of course eagles fans would to this not surprising all they had a jail underneath the stadium with a judge on call that apparently it is
That didn't come until much later during the Buddy Ryan era.
Something similar just happened in Australian soccer.
That was part of the inspiration for this video once I found the topic. Crazy scenes in Melbourne
