Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 6/30/25
Jared Verse and Philadelphia Eagles fans seem to have a mutual respect for each other, and it’s somewhat cool to watch as a follower of the NFL. Eagles’ fans can be ruthless when you don’t play well, but when you do play well, you’ll likely to get their attention in a different way.
Rams’ Jared Verse changes tune, says Eagles have best opposing fan base: ‘I’ve got to give them that’ (nfl.com)
“Probably the Eagles,” Verse told Whistle Sports in an interview when asked to name the NFL’s best opposing fan base. “I’ve got to give them that. I like when you kind of like get into it, you’re aggressive, you’re loud and all that stuff. They stand by that with no doubt.”
Verse wasn’t so complimentary in January, when the rookie pass rusher bluntly expressed his distaste for the Philly faithful.
“I hate Eagles fans,” he said at the time. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.”
The Rams and the Eagles should play each other then, so maybe Verse will have more to say around that time, or maybe he’ll let his play do the talking.
Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great Monday!
