On Tuesday morning, The Athletic dropped the results from its anonymous poll in which 85 NFL players answered various questions about the league, its teams, personalities, and more. A few responses included the Eagles, most notably Philly fans being awarded the title of “most annoying fan base.”

Eagles fans received 25.3% of the votes, just ahead of Dallas Cowboys fans at 24.7%. No other fan base had more than 7.5% of votes.

“Just loud, rude and obnoxious,” one player said of Eagles fans, according to the story.

“They just swear they’re the biggest football gurus on earth,” added another.

Speaking of loud, former Eagles defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson was voted the biggest trash talker, getting 24.6% of votes. Brandon Graham, who is well known in Philly for his yapping during games, finished third with 8.6% of votes.

Other Eagles related results included A.J. Brown receiving one vote for best player in the NFL, Nick Sirianni getting 5.6% of votes for which opposing coach you would want to play for, and Josh Sweat earning one vote for most underrated player. Lincoln Financial Field received 4.8% of votes for best stadium to play in and also received votes for worst stadium to play in.

The stadium voted as the best? That’s Arrowhead, where the Eagles topped the Chiefs on Monday night in a Super Bowl LVII rematch. The win pushed the Eagles to 9-1 and made them co-favorites to win it all this year.
