Andy Reid's first year as Eagles coach was not easy.

He got caught in traffic from a just-completed Flyers game as he was engaged in a cross-country cell-phone conversation with Marty Mornhinweg, who is now the Eagles' offensive coordinator.

"Marty and I talked all the time," Reid said. "Marty was at San Francisco, and they were winning at the time and . . . I said, 'Marty, these people, they want to kill me. I mean they really want to kill me. It's crazy.'

"He goes, 'Ah, it can't be that bad.' I said, 'No, it's a wild, wild deal.' I'm pulling out of the parking lot and one of the hockey games is getting over, and I'm right there at the gate at the Vet ready to make a right turn to get on [Interstate] 76, and it's backed up traffic.

"All of a sudden, these two cars of guys are hanging out the window going, 'You fat son of a gun. Go back to Green Bay.' They're just going crazy.

"I said, 'Marty, can you hear that?' He goes, 'What?' I said, 'Here, listen,' and I held the phone outside the car window. And then they really put on a good show. I brought the phone back in and I said, 'Marty, did you hear that? Marty? Marty, are you there?' He goes, 'That was the most unbelievable thing I've ever . . . heard in my life.' "

The majority are great fans. Every team has their ban fans. I've never seen a fan base as passionate as Eagles fans. The vibe at an Eagles game is unreal.
