Former Eagles coach Chip Kelly once quipped, "We're from Philadelphia and we fight."
Just don't tell Giants left guard Justin Pugh that.
Pugh, who is from Holland, Pennsylvania, a township in Bucks County, doesn't like Philadelphia. He doesn't like the Eagles, nor their fans because he claims to be mistreated when he comes back home.
Let him explain, per NJ.com:
"I just don't like Philly, to be honest. I'm from there, and every time I go back there I don't get treated right, from my hometown. So it'd be nice to go get this one, and be able to show my face in my hometown when I go back to my (youth) camp this year.
“I think Philly fans try to live up to that whole, ‘Oh, we threw snowballs at Santa Claus’. I think they try to live up to that. Kids, like when I was 18-years-old, you to be like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re Philly fans. We’re ruthless.’ But they’re harmless. I was that kid.
"I can say that, because I was that 18-year-old kid that thought he was the big, bad tough, ‘I’ll come wherever and wear my Philly jersey.’ Now, I don’t like that kid that I was. Now, that kid’s booing me when I come home.”
The 26-year-old also claimed that when he's out to dinner with family, fans will direct "Eagles" chants at him, or when he goes to the bathroom, fans tell him, "Go Eagles." When he goes down the shore in South Jersey, Pugh said, he can't escape it there, either.
Philly fans get a bad reputation for a snowball incident in 1968, or from throwing bracelets onto the Wells Fargo Center ice as recently as last April.

But chanting "Go Eagles" at a New York Giant in public? Now that's crossing the line.
Behave, Philly fans. You've crossed the line.
