While the sports world shifted their focus to the NBA trade deadline on Thursday, fans of the Eagles descended upon Philadelphia to celebrate their first-ever Super Bowl championship.
You would think that Eagles fans wouldn't really need a parade considering what happened in the streets of Philadelphia on Sunday, but they were revved and ready to go on parade day, led by the ever-so charismatic Jason Kelce.
(Warning: NSFW Language)
At some point Kelce ended up on a bike, and honestly, we don't even care how he got it, we're just oh so glad he did. That and he also gave a police officer an autograph.
Safe to say Kelce has become royalty in Philly. But while the players certainly provide the parade with energy, it's the fans who ultimately steal the show. Eagles fans have had to wait a long time for this parade, so when it came time to show up, they showed up in NUMBERS.
And of course it wouldn't be a parade in Philadelphia without fans doing some truly outlandish things, including climbing statues, partying on top of a garbage truck and sprinting across portable washrooms.
Fans in Philly really like climbing stuff. Like a lot. But that's because they love the Eagles THAT much. How passionate are Eagles fans. Well, this one fan flew all the way from Tampa to spread their grandfather's ashes at the Super Bowl parade.
During Super Bowl 52 Nick Foles made one of the biggest catches in the game, but on Thursday he wasn't as lucky, as he managed to catch a branch to the face. His coach on the other hand, Doug Pederson managed to capture something a little bit more enjoyable.
A celebration that was decades in the making...and it did not disappoint.
