Treatment of New Orleans Saints fans by Eagles fans this past week made headlines.
First, Eagles fans forced Saints fans to cancel a "Rocky run" up the Art Museum steps.
That led to a column by a Times-Picayune writer who ripped Eagles fans for their abrasive history. That invited return fire from Philadelphia sportswriters.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia police announced officers would attend the NFC Wild Card game dressed as New Orleans Saints fans to keep altercations to a minimum.
Now, it appears the hospitality -- or lack thereof -- carried into the stadium, although after the game, NOLA.com quoted a member of the Philadelphia Police Department as saying to his knowledge "there hasn't been a single incident between Eagles and Saints' fans."
There didn't appear to be many Saints fans (or disguised cops?) at Lincoln Financial Field during the Philadelphia Eagles' 26-24 loss on Saturday, but for the one in the video below, things didn't work out to well after the game -- victory aside, of course.
After the game-winning field goal, many Eagles fans around him seemed to take his gloating in stride, but one fan certainly didn't.
