Philadelphia Best

The Eagles Crushed Vikings Fans’ Hopes. Now They’re Crashing Their Super Bowl Party.
But I’d think that the people who act like that are probably not going to be the ones are going to be coming to the Super Bowl.”
A Packers fan from Mauston, Wis., Chad Babcock counts himself among the population delighted — or at least not displeased — that Minnesota lost.
Based on conversations with friends, Laura Conley, 31, who is trying to rent out her home for the Super Bowl, said she could envision Minnesotans cheering for the New England Patriots
because of how some Vikings fans were treated in Philadelphia.
Some glares and looks and things like that.”
Referring to Eagles fans, Christopherson added: “But if they come in all cocky
and still going off about stuff related to the game, I can’t say what’s going to happen.
Jim Fehrenkamp, 41, a co-owner of Mac’s Industrial Sports Bar in Minneapolis, said he will root for New England for the same reason but added
that he does not anticipate much friction between the locals and Eagles fans this week.
Hopefully they’ve moved on and are focused more on the Super Bowl rather than the last game.”
That last game, a 38-7 thrashing, does still linger for Vikings fans — though not just because of the margin of victory, or even the result.
“No flipping off neighbors that are walking by, no vulgarities, don’t throw beer cans at anybody, those kinds of things,” said Babcock, laughing, who was considering ordering Eagles decorations
and party supplies for Gottesman and his six friends.
