The national caricature of Eagles fans as angry, loudmouth curmudgeons is being challenged by a touching video shared on Facebook of one Eagles fan helping another spread his father's ashes at Lincoln Financial Field.
After the Eagles' 18-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, Stephen DePaul waited for the crowd to clear before he pulled out a bag containing the ashes of his father, Louis, who died in February, not long after the team's Super Bowl win. Louis DePaul was a lifelong Eagles fan and had been a season-ticket holder since 1963, and his son thought it would be a fitting tribute to scatter the remains on the seat that brought his father so much joy (and misery).
