Jared Verse hates Eagles fans, but calls them the best opposing fan base
Before the Rams and Eagles met in the playoffs, Rams linebacker Jared Verse said he hates Eagles fans. Verse hasn't backed off from that, but he also respects the passion of the fans who he says scream obscenities at him from the stands.
In an interview with the YouTube channel Whistle, Verse was asked to name the best opposing fan base.
'Probably the Eagles,' Verse answered. 'I've got to give them that. I like when you kind of get into it, you're aggressive, you're loud, and they stand by that with no doubt.'
Verse also said the Eagles are the toughest crowd to play in front of in the NFL.
'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say, and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff,' Verse said. 'They're going to bring something up. Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed a line,' but they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?''
Verse will hear it from Eagles fans again in Week Three, when the Rams visit Philadelphia.

The Eagles' ‘One of These Nights' Turns 50
Linda Ronstadt had an ear for talent. Set to tour in 1971, she and her manager recruited guitarist-vocalist Glenn Frey and drummer-vocalist Don Henley for her backup group. On the road, the pair mentioned they wanted to form a band, so Ms. Ronstadt suggested they add guitarist-vocalist Bernie Leadon while her manager recommended bassist Randy Meisner. All four performed behind her at Disneyland in July before leaving to form the Eagles. Don Felder, an edgier rock guitarist and childhood friend of Mr. Leadon, was added in 1974. 'One of These Nights'—the Eagles' fourth studio album, and the last featuring the original four members before Joe Walsh replaced Mr. Leadon—came out 50 years ago this month. The LP was the band's big breakthrough, remaining at No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart for five straight weeks. The record sold a half-million copies within a month of its release, and all three of its singles charted in Billboard's top 5: the title track (No. 1), 'Take It to the Limit' (No. 4) and 'Lyin' Eyes' (No. 2), which also won a Grammy.
