It has also snowed prior to the game, and as we do down here, the fans were mostly out of their mind drunk. Well the hired santa claus never showed up. So the team found a guy in the stand who was dressed up in an old and dingy santa outfit and asked him to fill in. Well when they announced him at halftime the Eagles I believe were loosing, the fans were pissed that the team couldn't even get a good santa claus so they pelted him with snow balls and booed him as he ran for his life across the football field. They story made minor news the next day in the newspaper. It only became a big deal when that no talent ass clown Harold Cosell (hated philadelphia) made a big deal about it on monday night football.

That is hilarious!
