Eagles fan reads 'Inner Excellence' while climbing pole for championship celebration
PHILADELPHIA - Climbing poles has become a tradition in Philadelphia, but one Eagles fan took it to an academic level on Sunday night!
What we know:
A fan sporting a Kelly green Saquon Barkley jersey was seen climbing a pole near City Hall after the Eagles claimed their spot in the Super Bowl with a win against the Commanders.
Moments later, another fan tosses him some literature - a copy of "Inner Excellence!"
Another iconic Philly moment in the books.
The backstory:
Eagles receiver A.J. Brown was spotted reading "Inner Excellence" by Jim Murphy on the sideline during the team's Wildcard victory over the Green Bay Packers earlier this month.
Just hours later, the book topped Amazon's bestseller list thanks to die-hard Philly fans.
"If it’s good enough for A.J. Brown, it’s a good read for anyone. Go Birds!" another Amazon reviewer wrote.
