10) Because the people that go to the games have much, much more sense than the people who call in to talk radio

9) By buttering him up, they hoped to convince him to take things easy on the old laundry

8) Any man that has to make do with the Redskins line and WRs without going postal deserves applause, really

7) When you've bought the man's jersey and worn it for the better part of a decade, it just seems silly to boo

6) While it's hard to believe given the PR, Philadelphia isn't filled with breathtaking ingrates who can only judge the worth of a man by the color of his laundry

5) No one wanted to give the national media another chance to pule about how awful they are

4) Just because you give him a standing ovation in the pre-game, it doesn't mean that you can't mock, jeer and boo him during the game
