I spent many years following the Eagles closely when McNabb was there. I have a lot of respect for the Eagles organization and for a small segment of their fan base. Unfortunately, the vast majority of posters on syracuse.com seem to lack any real depth, dignity and respect much like the majority of Eagles fans. I can understand that some people are turned off by Gross's salesman persona and can understand some issue with recent decisions of by the football program (as misguided as it would be to point the finger at Gross for this). But if not for my Philly experience, it would be beyond my comprehension as to how people here cannot at least show respect for the unbelievable strides programs such as women's lacrosse, softball, tennis, in addition to modernizing basketball facilities, making strides in terms of revenue and bringing our football program back to respectability after making IMO his lone glaring mistake.
