Rams linebacker Jared Verse grew up in Pennsylvania. It’s safe to say he didn’t grow up as an Eagles fan.
The verse says Los Angeles Times this week, he still looked down on Eagles fans.
“I hate Eagles fans” Verse said. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans. . . . When I see that green and white, I hate it. I’m actually upset. I’m actually really hot .
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who played six seasons with the rival Giants, laughed when asked about Verse’s comment.
“That’s probably not the smartest thing to say when you come to Philadelphia,” Barkley said via video from 94WIP.com’s Eliot Shorr-Parks. “I’ve been on the other side, and even if I felt something, I probably wouldn’t give them any extra fuel. I’m pretty sure Philly fans saw that comment, and it was only going to be loud and rocking and that would only add to it.
Eagles fans are known for their nastiness. They could be even nastier and louder – if that’s possible – on Sunday against the Rams.
