Many of the Philly faithful will be heading up I-95 this weekend to experience the third (and decisive) match-up between the Giants and Iggles this weekend. In the interest of being the good neighbors that we are, here are some tips to keep in mind when encountering the opposition's fanbase.
Bring a map with you -- Giants' fans have a very sketchy sense of direction and geography; For example, they seem unaware that their team does not play in the state or city of New York. To make sure you don't get lost, take a map of the entire eastern seaboard with you.
Be kind to young children -- Even the ones wearing Giants' gear who make funny faces at you. You don't want the experience of an Eagles win to be ruined for them. Besides, one of them might be little Eli Manning. He makes some of the weirdest faces.
Don't make any sudden movements -- You could shoot yourself in the leg. It's a problem up there.
Be careful about the food -- Just because they put "New York" in front of its name doesn't mean it's a new or better food. "New York Pizza" and "New York Bagels" and "New York Hot Dogs" taste just like regular ones. Stay away from "New York Cheesteaks."
Feel free to bring up the Patriots and Cowboys -- Just because we hate each other as fans doesn't mean we can't enjoy other people's misery. Feel free to thank them for the playoffs last year, when they dispatched both teams.
Don't sneeze -- Punter Jeff Feagles is 137 years old and the slightest wind could knock him over. On second though, sneeze alot.
After the game, don't bring Greg Lewis home -- Win or lose, he stays up there.
