Jared Verse hates Eagles fans, but calls them the best opposing fan base
Before the Rams and Eagles met in the playoffs, Rams linebacker Jared Verse said he hates Eagles fans. Verse hasn't backed off from that, but he also respects the passion of the fans who he says scream obscenities at him from the stands. In an interview with the YouTube channel Whistle, Verse was asked to name the best opposing fan base. 'Probably the Eagles,' Verse answered. 'I've got to give them that. I like when you kind of get into it, you're aggressive, you're loud, and they stand by that with no doubt.' Verse also said the Eagles are the toughest crowd to play in front of in the NFL. 'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say, and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff,' Verse said. 'They're going to bring something up. Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed a line,' but they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?'' Verse will hear it from Eagles fans again in Week Three, when the Rams visit Philadelphia.

Former NFL Star Has Disgraceful Message For Jason Kelce
Former NFL Star Has Disgraceful Message For Jason Kelce originally appeared on The Spun. Earlier this week, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce ditched his pants for a really good cause. The Eagles Autism Foundation held two events in New Jersey on Wednesday. There was a 21+ event Team 62 at Ocean Drive that featured Kelce and a few of his "celebrity friends," per the website. When the former All-Pro offensive lineman showed up to this event, he immediately established himself as the life of the party. Advertisement Kelce, 37, ripped off his American flag shorts to show off his patriotic underwear. It was a wild scene that generated plenty of awareness for the Eagles Autism Foundation. "Doing this puts eyes on the cause/foundation. He's good at marketing," one person wrote on X. "That's pure Jason Kelce right there. Most players retire and disappear. Kelce climbs on a lifeguard chair in a flag Speedo because he genuinely loves his people," another person saids.

His initial remarks were truly disgraceful. Advertisement "Jason Kelce getting naked for [expletive] kids but I'm the crazy one," Brown wrote on social media. This post from Brown immediately went viral on social media. Countless fans lectured him for using insensitive language. Brown is no stranger to making headlines for the wrong reasons. It was reported two weeks ago that he's facing a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown wrote on X. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me."

Judging by his latest social media post, he hasn't changed one bit.

An Eagles adversary walks back his harsh take on the Philadelphia faithful
You aren't going to believe this Jared Verse turns 25 years old in November but has already lived a life that would inspire envy among men ten years his senior. His NFL resume already consists of a Defensive Rookie of the Year nod and a spot on the 2024 Pro Bowl roster. He was named to the Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie Team, but as famous as he is everywhere else, he is infamous in the City of Brotherly Love. If Verse looks familiar to you, it's because he should. A little over five months ago, he shared some disparaging remarks about the Philadelphia Eagles fan base. 'I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying." Those were the then-rookie's words when speaking during an interview with the Los Angeles Times. That caught the NFL's most loyal fan base off guard. Sure, they've heard those types of comments before, but this time, the verbal assault felt unwarranted and a little more personal. Maybe that's true because they came ahead of a Divisional Round clash during the postseason. Perhaps everyone was thrown off because Verse grew up in Berwick, Pennsylvania, approximately 2.5 hours away from Philadelphia. Whatever the case, cooler heads prevailed, and a football game, as expected, went on as planned. Verse backed up his talk by playing one heck of a game. The Birds beat L.A. for the second time last season. Respect was earned on both sides, and recently, one of the NFL's young stars walked back his comments about those passionate fans in green who show up season after season to root for Philadelphia to victory. Jared Verse compliments Philadelphia fans (And he does so more than once). Only Whistle can invite an NFL star to a spa and make engaging content. That's a compliment, by the way. Recently, Casey Rieger hung out with Jared Verse, and the now-second-year sensation discussed everything from receiving a call on draft day to, you guessed it, his opinion on Eagles fans. The discussion about that latter topic might surprise you. Which opposing team did Verse say had the best fans? Trust us. You aren't going to believe this: 'Probably the Eagles. I've got to give them that. It's just because I like when you kind of get into it. You're aggressive. You're loud. And they stand by that with no doubt.' Which fan base did Verse say is the toughest to play in front of? Again, he named those 'annoying' fans in Philly. 'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say. And they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff. Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed the line.' But they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?'' It's always cool when animosity ends peacefully, when cooler heads prevail. Ultimately, some trash talk between a player and a city led to emotionally charged football and mutual shows of respect. Most importantly, it led to an Eagles win. Who are we to complain? Verse is from PA. He knows the vibes, and guess what? Philadelphia and Los Angeles renew acquaintances in Week 3 of the regular season. A budding rivalry will be reignited. Let's see if Nick Sirianni can hang another loss on Sean McVay.
