64-year-old New York native sports analyst Chris "Mad Dog" Russo went after Philly fans on Monday.
“The idea that Philadelphia, PA is some sports haven is a bunch of a nonsense," Russo said on ESPN's First Take. "They will jump off the Phillies’ bandwagon—they were booing them the other night! The Phillies, who have done nothing but win the last three years. They lost to the Marlins and they booed them in the first inning.
"And did you know the year the Eagles won the Super Bowl and [Carson] Wentz got hurt, did you know at halftime of a Sunday night game with Nick Foles late in the year when they were 11-2, when they got off the field at the half when they were losing 10-0 they booed the Eagles! That was the year they won the Super Bowl. The sports fan in that town thinks they are better than everyone else."
"You should be drug tested," Russo's co-host Stephen A. Smith replied. "Philadelphia is one of the greatest sports towns in America."
Smith was also born in New York, but worked for The Philadelphia Inquirer from 1994-2010.
