It's not always funny in Philadelphia

 A.J. Brown just scored his second touchdown of the day. The Eagles were ahead and on their way to an easy win over the Titans. So of course, Eagles fans gave the bird to Tennessee ownership.

Philadelphia should be above this by now. Their team is 11-1. They won their first Super Bowl five years ago and are favored to reach another one this year. You don’t see their star receiver acting foolish after a touchdown.

Did A.J. Brown just spank the goalpost? Is spanking even allowed anymore? That was rude. With 32 career touchdowns, you’d think Brown would act like he’s been there before. You can bet Coach Sirianni had some words for Brown afterward.

Technically that was after the Colts game. But how can we expect the fan base to act respectfully when the head coach has no problems shouting expletives at fans. Surely the team's general manager expects better.

See the pattern yet? How are Eagles supposed to learn responsible behavior when management can’t even manage common courtesy? No wonder Philadelphia fans were just voted the NFL’s rudest

That’s not a compliment, Philly. Some contests you don’t want to win. Take it as a challenge. Are you really going to let people think Cowboys fans are better-behaved than Eagles fans?
