The Eagles fan who had the spectacular run-in with a pole and became a viral star (and thankfully confirmed to the Associated Press on Monday that yes, he was just fine) had a perfectly reasonable explanation as to how he came to meet a harsh stop at a train station when the pole refused to get out of the way.
I was pregaming at my brother's place. He lives in South Philly. We watched the Pats-Jaguars game, then headed down to the Linc. And a train was leaving the Linc and going into Center City; we were waiting for a train coming on the platform across from it. And I just saw Eagles fans, and it got me all excited.
At the end of it, when I was running toward the train I just wanted to give a final "Go Birds!" to the folks that were there. And that's when the pole made a great tackle."
For the upcoming Super Bowl, we beg of Eagles fans: Please be careful about the placement of objects and people around you when showing team spirit.
