Yes, I gotta admit that if this had happened in Philly, it’s all we’d be reading about today. As it is, Giants fans throwing loaded beer bottles at the Eagles’ DeSean Jackson only warrants a lowly spot on this guy’s Twitter page, and a couple of Philadelphia blogs. It happened in the third quarter of the Eagles’ 45-38 win last night, with Jackson scoring on a 60-yard pass from Donovan McNabb, and traveling the final few yards backwards into the end zone. A couple of Giants fans, unamused by the antics, launched two full beer bottles at Jackson.
Eagles fans have the bad rep, but their Giants counterparts can be just as loutish. As any fan of The Life and Times of Tim can tell you.
Monday, you mark that frame an eight, and you’re entering a world of pain.
ABOUT LAST NIGHT …
What you missed while assaulting your husband with uncooked meat …
* Prep football: Serra of Gardena upsets Oaks Christian 42-41 in CIF state playoffs in Nick Montana’s final high school game. Joe Montana unamused with his son’s 3 interceptions.
* NFL: No Jay Cutler, playoffs not yours.
* Bowling: A year ago, Tom Smallwood got laid off from his job as a GM assembly line worker. Today, he is the winner of the PBA World Championship. I like your style, Dude.

TODAY IN MARK TRAIL …

Couldn’t agree more. If this happened at The Linc it would be national news. Just like when Shane Victorino had beer dumped on him in Chicago. If either of these instances happened in Philly the national media would be having a field day.

Steve V—That’s because Philadelphia has a reputation for being beligerent a-holes to any visiting team. City of Brotherly Love??? Are you kidding me? More like City of Angry east coast Americans. Although NY has to be considered a close second…9/11 aside, new yorkers wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire.
