Philadelphia Eagles roundup: The Vikings send well wishes
Some gift-wrapped confetti headlines one of the more unusual stories that Philadelphia Eagles fans might find interesting.
Who says all Minnesota Vikings fans are still ticked off following the 38-7 rear-end whooping the Philadelphia Eagles gave their team in the NFC Championship Game? It was quite the story for about a week or so as stories ran the gamut of everything you can possibly imagine.
Those stories included Vikings fans accusing Eagles fans of a lack of hospitality during their trip to ‘The City of Brotherly Love’ (they left out the part about them doing the ‘Skol’ chant on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art).
Don’t worry. There’s evidence.

As if that wasn’t enough, once the Eagles landed in Minneapolis, there were tales of them being unable to do simple things like booking reservations at restaurants. Coincidence? Probably not.
There is good news though Eagles fans. It appears that the Vikings organization may not be as bitter as we originally thought. The Vikings Foundation and the Mike Zimmer Foundation both received healthy donations from quite a few Eagles fans. In return, those fans were rewarded with a very nice ‘thank you’ package.
Said package included a small jar filled with confetti from the Eagles’ Super Bowl win in Minneapolis. There was also a note that read something like this:
"Congratulations on your Super Bowl win Eagles Fans! To show our appreciation of your donation to the Minnesota Vikings Foundation we are excited to present you with this jar of authentic Eagle’s confetti from Super Bowl 52. Your positive attitude and great sportsmanship toward the Minnesota Vikings did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you and SKOL!"
All of that kind of makes you wish that you made a donation, doesn’t it? Or is it just us?
