Philadelphia fans have spent recent days scattering the ashes of loved ones along the Eagles parade route, using the celebration as a drunken backdrop to get down on one knee and propose and expressing their unbridled joy by eating the manure a police horse left behind.
This qualifies as restraint when you consider there were reports of fans punching police horses after wins in the divisional and championship rounds.
What took place in Dallas while this revelry was unfolding on the streets of Philadelphia?
Abject depression with a side of shattered dreams.
OK, that may be a bit strong.
