Twisting a Philadelphia sports slogan, about 30 protesters stood at the gate of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's Wynnewood mansion yesterday and shouted, "Pay, Eagles, pay!"
Under the watch of about a half-dozen Lower Merion Township police officers, members of the activist group ACORN held a half-hour "tailgating" protest, complete with grilled hot dogs, at dusk.

Yep. And his wife's a big Soros contributor. And they've been using the team to push global warming hysteria for years.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer family. I hope this goes on for months.
