Eagles' Sheldon Brown: "You don't fool with him." article 9/18

So what's your point? Eagles never show disrespect to their opponent. They talk up the positives of the other team and the pieces that we need to be concerned about. What the hell do you want them to say?

They're going over the top this time. My only point was that I don't think the volume of "praise" being offered is a sign of respect, I think it's pretension.
