If it happened, the fans should have gotten the boot and have their season tickets revoked. With a waiting list of 50,000 or so, we can afford to lose some zeros. It paints a bad picture of the team, and is uncalled for in a blowout when the opposing team didn't appear to be doing squat to the fans deserving that response. The Cardinals appeared to be sitting dejected on their bench for most of the game.

There appeared to be enough fans enjoying heaving the snow up in the air and making a good impression that you do not need that garbage, definitely not when you can be celebrating a great game by the Pats rather than making an idiot of yourself.

In his defense, the author said "a handful of fans," meaning it did not reflect the majority of fans there.

It wasn't that bad yesterday. A random snowball here and there, it wasn't like they were raining down on the Cardinals.

All joking aside. Tunescribe is correct with his observation. I only witnessed one snowball thrown at the field. Most were thrown at other fans especially one guy with a Cardinals hat on.

More "zero tolerance" attitude from our society. Kind of like suspending the kid with the pocket knife at the middle school like he is some sort of terrorist.

In my defense

Why mention it at all if it's a handful of fans. Might as well mention the guy that took a wiz in the parking lot after the game.

Unless is was a significant issue (and judging by most of the responses from people there, it wasn't), there is no call for it in a story about the CARDINALS and and the crap-ass way they have been playing. If this was a story entitled "the 12 douche bags of Gillette" then fine, it has relavance. In a Cardinal story, it doesn't and it only comes across a free swipe at the Patriots.

Like I said............ Business as usual for the Media.

Hey Mikey, I'm glad the fans here in Philly would never, ever do anything like that......While it's not cool, I've seen worse at the Meadowlands or the Vet/Lincoln Financial for Eagles-Giants game where there's more violence in the stands than on the field.......
IIRC he was one of those ragging incessantly on the Pats last year for either a) running the score up and/or b) spygate..
I'm not justifying it but to blame 60,000 for the actions of a few would be like blaming all sportswriters if one or two lied about their resume............

Haha... snowballs are nothing compared to beer cans.

Out here in Saskatchewan (Canada), the fans here starting throwing beer cans at the opposition in one game. I guess the story was that a player on the opposition threw a can back, and what started it was a player throwing a ball at the crowd that hit a fan.

I got blasted in the back of the head from someone in the club seats above me. They ought to give the guy who threw this one (at the guy who tackled Junior) a prize. It looks like it hit him right in the face.

The editor who wrote Freeman's headline "Ripping Arizona" missed the boat. Headline should have been "Razing Arizona."

Must not be a Coen brothers fan.
