08:11 AM ET 10.26 | Eagles fans aren't exactly known for their hospitality, which makes Asante Samuel's Thursday comments that much more interesting heading into Atlanta-Philadelphia. [Samuel] said that he expects to be greeted warmly when he returns to Lincoln Financial Field as a member of the Falcons on Sunday. "They better cheer for me," Samuel said to reporters in Atlanta. "They're going to cheer for me, or we're going to have a problem right there in Lincoln Financial [Field]. All you all fans, all I did for you all, you all better cheer for me. Deuce here. Got nothing but love for you all." Samuel returns with the undefeated Falcons. ... "It's kind of hard when 22 ain't there," Samuel said, referring to his jersey number.

Asante who ? Put on a santa outfit, see what that does for you

You really expect this from Philly fans.............good luck

Hilarious , Asante must be hanging out with the honey badger these days. My educated guess is the Phily fans will seriously dissappoint u Asante.

Good luck with that, Asante. You'll have better luck showing up in a Santa suit.

He talks like he left some kind of championship legacy behind him there in Philly.

Every year, they ask him for a Superbowl win. And every year their hopes are crushed.

Sort of like Santa when Andy Reid sits on his lap.

When was the last time Philly fans appreciated anything (that isn't food)?
