    They should have dressed him up as Santa Claus, they would have let it into the stadium just so Philly fans could boo it.

            Yep. You can’t really live down pelting one of your players with batteries because he’s switching teams.

    Remember the emotional support peacock lady they wouldn’t let on a plane? She actually had a great Instagram for him and all the places they went together as a therapeutic animal. He died a few years ago but he was pretty fascinating.
