If there’s one thing Philadelphia fans are known for, it’s their passion—and maybe, just maybe, their, uh, enthusiastic beer tossing. Unfortunately for Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, he found himself on the receiving end of a flying beverage at the team’s Super Bowl parade, and let’s just say, his hands weren’t quite as reliable as A.J. Brown’s.
A Parade Battle Scar for Roseman
Friday’s celebration in Philly was everything you’d expect: beer, cheers, and a city absolutely losing its mind over the Eagles’ championship win. Fans lined the streets, players soaked up the love, and the drinks? Oh, they were flowing. But for Howie Roseman, the mastermind behind Philly’s Super Bowl roster, the day came with an unexpected souvenir—a forehead gash courtesy of a wayward beer can.
Roseman, decked out in Eagles gear and riding high from building a championship team, was caught off guard when a fan tossed him a can. Unlike his star receivers, he couldn’t quite make the grab, and boom—the can smacked him right in the forehead, leaving a noticeable cut. The good news? He didn’t seem too fazed. Photos from the parade show him with a big grin, a stogie in hand, and the kind of battle wound that only adds to the legend of the celebration.
Beer Cans Were Flying Everywhere
Philly parades are never boring, and Roseman’s mishap wasn’t the only booze-related incident of the day. Reports suggest that he wasn’t the only one who took a hit, as at least one other person aboard the Eagles’ buses got nailed by a flying drink. And while Roseman was left with a new forehead accessory, the players? They were actively engaging in the beer-fueled festivities.
Saquon Barkley, among many others, was spotted chugging beers with fans throughout the day. The Eagles were clearly in celebration mode, toasting their victory with thousands of diehard Birds backers. If there was ever a day to let loose, this was it.
The Philly Party Energy is Unmatched
Philadelphia knows how to throw a championship party, and this parade proved it once again. Whether it’s fans climbing poles (despite the city greasing them) or players crowd-surfing into the sea of green, nothing compares to an Eagles victory parade. And even though Howie Roseman might need to work on his hands if he ever wants to suit up, his beer-to-the-face moment only adds to the lore of the day.
Thankfully, he seems to be taking it all in stride. He wasn’t hiding the cut, and he certainly wasn’t sulking. If anything, he embraced it. After all, when you build a Super Bowl-winning team, a little beer-related injury is a small price to pay.
The Eagles’ Super Bowl parade was a wild, beer-soaked, unforgettable celebration—just as it should be. Howie Roseman may have taken a hit, but that won’t overshadow the fact that he helped deliver another Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia. And hey, next time, maybe he’ll take some catching tips from his wide receivers before heading into the parade zone.
For now, though, he can enjoy the fact that he’s a champion. Beer bruise and all.
