Fã do Angry Eagles que se tornou viral se torna o reitor de admissões de Penn – The Philadelphia Inquirer

After boos rained down on the Eagles during the fourth quarter ofSunday’s loss against the Lions, Fox TV showed an angry Birds fan shouting at the top of his lungs as the broadcast cut to a commercial.

The clip of an angry Furda, a Penn graduate, booing the Birds quickly went viral, with frustrated Eagles fans sharing it widely to sum up their own disappointment abouthow the game turned out. Others just used the viral video to crack jokes about Philadelphia in general.

Furda, who played lightweight football at Penn for four years and was once described by The Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn’s student newspaper, as“a legend” in the sport, didn’t respond to a request for comment. But in a tweet Monday morning, he said, “After further review of the play I will take the 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. But I will not lose my passion for Philadelphia and Penn sports.”

Sunday afternoon, Furda had re-tweeted a comment pointing out there was a young fan standing next to him as he yelled and described the Penn dean as a “psycho fan.”

One pleasant surprise was that Fox broadcasters Thom Brennaman and Chris Spielman actually defended angry Eagles fans like Furda, something you rarely see from national broadcasters, who all-too-often turn to negative stereotypes about Philadelphia fans.

“They have a high standard and an expectation,” Spielman said of Eagles fans during the game. “If you’re not meeting that expectation, boos are warranted.”

Even on his best day, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick comes off as unlikable, especially when dealing with reporters. But he was downright miserable during a tense pre-game interview Sunday, ahead of his team’s match-up with the Jets.

“I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask what was the final straw with Antonio Brown?” Jacobson asked.

“We’re focused on the Jets today,” Belichick said dryly before giving Jacobson an angry stare, lingering for a few seconds before CBS cut back toThe Other Pregame Show(according to The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch,The NFL Todaygave it a quicker cut).

The animosity over what seemed like a fair question Belichick had to know was coming drew critical responses from across the sports media world. ESPN senior writer Don Van Natta Jr. called it a “parody of his media tough-guy act,” while CBS Sports Radio host Damon Amendolara called Belichick “a petulant child.”

Jacobson appeared to take the moment in stride, writing on Twitter Monday morning, “I did my job yesterday. Coach did his.”

The Eagles media will get a crack at Belichick in Week 11, when the Birds face off against the Patriots on Nov. 17 at Lincoln Financial Field.

• “For the first time from either team today, we will see a punt,” Brennaman said during Fox’s broadcast of the second quarter of Sunday’s Eagles loss, before realizing the Birds had already punted. After an awkwardly long pause, the veteran broadcaster saved himself.

• Laughed out loud at this clip featuring Philly Voice’s Jimmy Kempski (my former colleague) pretending to be senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron explaining why an obvious facemask during Sunday’s Eagles game wasn’t called.

• While CBS aired Steelers-49ers in Philadelphia following the Eagles game, the majority of the country got the chance to hear Tony Romo just being Tony Romo calling Saints-Seahawks.
