First, the Santa was drunk. He deserved it.

Second, that was at Veterans Stadium where we had the holding cell. The Vet was demolished.

Third, we also had a municipal judge there during football AND baseball games, so at least there was some chain of command.

Fourth, we beat Brady in one of the greatest SB ever. I can die a happy fan.

Fifth, pinnacle of Philadelphia classlessness was cheering Michael Irvin's injury. People always get bent out of shape over Santa but fail to red-card us over the truly reprehensible scenario.

Sixth, we know other cities' hate is really fear and envy, and we wear that as a badge of honor.

Seventh, and most important, Dallas still sucks.

You forgot the Flare Gun incident during a game against San Fran

Idiot fired off a Flare gun - fortunately hit empty seat because the team at that time sucked so bad .....

Oh he was reloading it when cops gave him a beat down ......

I recall one Santa came out early - before xmas, and that was part of the issue.
Also didn’t one Santa wear dark eye glasses?
Moved to FL and not looking back

Having suffered with the Giants since the mid 1950s, I can say the same...TWICE!

The whole story on the Eagles Santa was that the Santa hired to come out at halftime was drunk (or stuck somewhere in traffic, depending on whose version of the story you believe) so the PR braintrust found a 150lb guy in the stands (Frank Olivio) who was wearing an ill-fitting Santa outfit and paraded him out.

The rest was history for the long-suffering fans at Franklin Field in a 2-12 season under Joe Kuharich, the only coach at Notre Dame to have a losing record...

As the saying goes from SB LII season...”No one likes us. We don’t care”
