FULL TITLE: Morning after the night before: Eagles fans leave Philly littered with glass, beer cans and downed traffic lights after night of exuberant Super Bowl celebrations

They call Philadelphia the City of Brotherly Love, but Eagles fans weren't looking out for each other on Sunday night, when they trashed the city celebrating their Super Bowl win.

On Monday, Philadelphians heading into work took to social media, sharing hundreds of pictures of the aftermath of Sunday night's Super Bowl celebrations.

From a collapsed awning outside the Ritz-Carlton hotel, which smashed under the weight of nearly a dozen people, to the countless traffic lights ripped to the ground, the damage showed what a mess 'Birds' fans can make.

While many of the overzealous fans were sleeping off hangovers, the city's workers got down to business cleaning up after their mess - boarding up shattered shop windows and sweeping up glass.

Cops who would usually be patrolling the streets were mitigated to directing traffic as municipal workers righted and repaired traffic lights.

Workers now have just three days to clean the city up before it hosts its Super Bowl celebration parade on Thursday. The Eagles returned victorious Monday as well, bringing the Vince Lombardi back to their hometown for the first time

Fans too much like the players?

Fans started drinking at 10am.

Rioting after a ballgame seems to be a very northern thing. Why is that, I wonder? Is it cultural, did it come over with southern European and slavic peasants in the 19th and early 20th centuries, or was it the Marxism that the later ones brought with them?

How could they tell?

If Philadelphia has to be part of Pennsylvania, I’m glad it’s as far away from Pittsburgh as it is.

[Paulie]

And I bet nary a one of them has any remorse for what they did.

City of Brotherly Love my...foot.

[RegulatorCountry]

There are Irish down here and we don’t riot after a ballgame win or lose.

And half eaten horse dookie.

That Philly crowd rages hard.

I know 52 years is a long time to wait for an NFL championship, but this is just pathetic. One guy apparently decided the best way to celebrate would be to eat some horse droppings off the street. Other people turned over cars, set fires and in general behaved like deranged criminals. It's just football, folks - even if your life hasn't been great, it hasn't been bad enough to go insane just because your team won the Super Bowl. Act like you've been there.

My sis calls it “City Of Brotherly Shove”. She lives in the burbs there.

I apologize...I forget to look sometimes.
I’ll do better next time..

The players celebrated the game they won and went home to live the lives that young millionaires get to live. The fans ate horse crap, wrecked cars and set fires. Those who weren't arrested got up today, realized that nothing that happened in the game had the slightest thing to do with them and tried to get through the hangover.

Human debris acting like human debris. There should have been mass arrests and they should have been thrown in a stockade, identified, photographed, and booked.

Don't feel bad, Philly. It's no worse than the DC crowd when the Skins won the Super Bowl. Thankfully that hasn't been in a long time.

"Morning after the night before" So Sunday morning?
