Jared Verse’s ‘I Hate Eagles Fans’ Comment Sparks Reaction Ahead of Divisional Matchup
Los Angeles Rams rookie linebacker, Jared Verse, has stirred the pot ahead of his team's upcoming clash with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Divisional Round. Known for his talent, Verse is quickly becoming a notable figure, but his recent comment about Eagles fans may have unintentionally added extra fuel to the rivalry fire. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Verse didn’t hold back, saying, “I hate Eagles fans. They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.” The rookie’s words have since gone viral, attracting a variety of reactions, including from players such as Saquon Barkley of the Eagles, who weighed in on the situation with some wise words of advice.
Barkley, who is no stranger to the hostile atmosphere in Philadelphia, expressed that Verse may have made a misstep with his comment. “Probably not the smartest thing to say when you’re coming to Philadelphia,” Barkley said, smiling as he acknowledged how much of a motivating factor this could be for Philly fans. Barkley, who previously played for the New York Giants, knows firsthand what it’s like to face off against the passionate Eagles fanbase. “I’ve been on the other side... even if I felt some type of way, I probably wouldn’t give them any extra fuel,” he explained.

Barkley’s point resonates, especially when considering how opposing fanbases often use such remarks as motivation. The NFL is no stranger to bulletin-board material, and Verse’s comment certainly fits that bill. It wouldn’t be surprising if Eagles fans, already known for their loud and boisterous nature, escalate their heckling of Verse when the Rams take the field on Sunday.
Verse’s history with Eagles fans dates back to his high school years in Pennsylvania, where he attended Central Columbia High School. The linebacker admitted that his strong dislike for the team stems from his exposure to them over the years. "When I see that green and white I hate it," Verse shared, emphasizing how much it truly bothers him. His deep disdain for the Eagles and their fanbase is clear, and he made no effort to hide it.
While the Rams are gearing up for a tough game, Verse will need to channel that anger into performance, especially when going up against the Eagles' explosive offense. The Rams rookie is coming off a solid postseason debut, and with all eyes on him, he’ll have to keep his cool as the intensity in Lincoln Financial Field ramps up. As for the Eagles fans, they’ll no doubt relish the chance to turn Verse’s comments into an unforgettable experience for him. It’s shaping up to be a highly charged and thrilling matchup, with both sides bracing for a battle.
