As the New Orleans Saints boarded their team buses on Jan. 4, 2014, for a road playoff game in Philadelphia, many of them got a good laugh.
Their head coach, Sean Payton, had giant bullseyes attached to the side of each of the five charters, anticipating that Eagles fans would have projectiles at the ready.
He, like the Philadelphia faithful throwing eggs, was right on the money.
“I told them, ‘When we pull off this highway here and you head down past the stadium, on the right side, Bus 1, you’re going to take six eggs,’” Payton told The Herd recently.
