PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An overzealous Philadelphia Eagles fan whose attempt to rally subway passengers went viral when he ran into a concrete pole says he's doing OK.
Jigar (JIG'-gur) Desai told The Associated Press that his pain eased after the Eagles' 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship game Sunday night.
The mishap occurred while Desai was heading to the game after having a few drinks while watching the New England Patriots defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship game.
He says he got pumped up watching a group of Eagles fans on a train heading in the opposite direction and wanted to get them excited.
