The Philadelphia Eagles’ fan base is currently celebrating their victory in Super Bowl LII.

Ever since Sunday evening, videos documenting the City of Brotherly Love’s riot environment have been making the rounds. As Minnesota Sports Fan’s montage below shows, that shit was chaotic:

Now, it ‘s been revealed that some supporters of the Super Bowl Champs, who were at the big game, had degenerate mindsets of their own. Rather than eat animal feces like one of their peers back home, they busted up and removed seat(s) from U.S. Bank Stadium:

WTF, TSA? How did you miss this one?

If the man with the purple plastic surrounding his luggage didn’t stand out enough, it was reported that rat-boy was drunk as hell. I know the TSA have bigger fish to fry, but still. This proverbial fish cleaned itself and jumped right into the frying pan. In the event someone attempts to run off with something like this in the future, they need to eat up.

A video of the man, who is wearing Eagles apparel and what appears to be some sort of Super Bowl credentials, was released by Barstool Sports:

Zak Fick, a member of Skol Nation, who resides in South Dakota, was in attendance for Sunday’s contest. During postgame ceremonies, the Carson Wentz fan heard cracking noises and noticed Eagles’ fans, a section over, destroying U.S. Bank Stadium seats. Zak shared documentation of the damage in a Twitter post:

Johnny Investigates:

Below is my quick Q & A with Zak (@ZakFick):

Please Note: As Zak indicates in the interview; whether or not the destruction he witnessed, involved the man who left the stadium with parts of a chair in the above Barstool video, isn’t confirmed. I’ll let you read what Zak said below and let you make your own judgements. I sure as hell did.

Q: Approximately how long after the Hail Mary fell incomplete did you notice the Eagles’ fans destroying the seats?

Q: When you noticed what was occurring, how did you react? Was it evident their end goal was to keep U.S. Bank Stadium’s property?

Q: It’s been reported that you tried catch up with the culprits. Outside of getting to the scene of the crime to find missing chairs, is there anymore to that aspect of this scenario?

Q: Regardless, as a member of Skol Nation and an anti-vandalism advocate, I appreciate the passion. In an attempt to return the favor, if you wish to add anything (plug a business, Carson Wentz shout-out, thank your photography teacher, or anything else) the floor is yours:

Look at Zak with the hat trick: Recognizes the Eagles fans with positive intentions, shows appreciation for the Vikings players and staff, and gives a shout-out to 84. I love it.

If you find yourself wondering how you may be able to help recognize Randy’s HOF induction, even though the weekend is over, feel free to take this approach:

No bar tabs all weekend. In honor of 84, use straight cash, homie

As emotionally painful as this week has been for Skol Nation, it’s almost over. Before we know it, Super Bowl XLII will have crowned a winner and the dust on all this hoopla will have settled. Personally, I can’t wait. Minneapolis and the surrounding areas are places where people live and work. It’s not a damn rumpus room, am I right?

Nonetheless, things could be worse. The potential nightmare scenario where Aaron Rodgers leads Green Bay to a ring in our own backyard didn’t come to fruition. 

In fact, the 2017 season saw trouble in paradise for the Packers. From all accounts, despite a new calendar year, their issues are still going strong. After seeing their GM step down on New Year’s Day, Cheese-head Nation’s superstar quarterback’s comments from Thursday will only add to recent headaches.

Full quote from Aaron Rodgers on losing Van Pelt: “My quarterback coach didn’t get retained. I thought that was an interesting change — really without consulting me. There’s a close connection between quarterback and quarterback coach. And that was an interesting decision.”

Like Eric’s breakdown of yesterday’s hilarious verbal confrontation from Radio Row proved, the news coming out of Mall of America can throw us for a loop. In the aftermath of the near fist to cuffs between two Houston radio personalities, the latest curveball came from ESPN Radio’s Golic and Wingo show. It was on that platform, from the ultra prestigious Hard Rock Cafe, that Aaron Rodgers expressed his opinion on Green Bay’s decision to let their (excuse me) HIS QB Coach go.

Scott Alex Van Pelt had been coaching Rodgers and his backups since 2014. With his contract expiring after this past season, the Packers came to the decision not to renew Van Pelt’s deal. The 34 year-old quarterback expressed frustration that the move was made “without consulting” him.

In my opinion, he’s 100% right. Considering how f*cken important that man is to that franchise, he absolutely should have been able to voice his opinion. I’m not saying you give number 12 the almighty influence of a Lebron James, but if you’re Green Bay, you have to AT-LEAST inquire with him. Even if don’t go with the choice Rodgers wants, he has earned the right to express his desires on this realm.

(Eric’s Editor Take: You consult Rodgers for EVERYTHING. If you want to replace a shitter at Lambeau you f#cking better ask Rodgers first. Why are people in Wisconsin so STUPID? Sorry Johnny. Carry on….)

When it rains, it pours. While the Vikings are in the midst of an all important decision regarding our own QB situation, keep this in mind: Aaron Rodgers, if he choses, will be eligible to hit the free agent market in 2019. Outside of him, Green Bay’s roster, as a whole, is sub par. With that being said, if you’re Rodgers, why wouldn’t you look at options outside of Wisconsin?

The Packers have done a terrible job supporting him. Down the road, there’s a chance that his frustration with this unappreciative franchise will make him want to stick it Green Bay. If that were to occur next offseason, who’s to say he wouldn’t want to hop on over and join the Purple? I know it sounds wild, but the move wouldn’t be totally unprecedented…

We may be killing Applebee’s while also refusing to work nine-to-five jobs, but nobody’s driving the avocado demand like my fellow Millennials (myself included). How do you like us now? Print that in your newspapers and read it.

In recent developments, like the person in front of you at Chipotle arguing over the price of their burritos, we have ourselves a SERIOUS guacamole-related controversy. Is there any guacoversy that isn’t serious? Surprisingly, in atypical fashion, this guacrage didn’t involve any of my twenty-something counterparts or burritos drenched in the super-food dip/sauce (sidetone: WTF is guac? It’s not a sauce, right. So a dip? Why am I thinking so hard about this? F*ck it. Let me know what you think. I’m moving on.).

The source of the latest avocado-originated headline is Super Bowl XLII… and it’s a doozie…

Ike’s pulls Super Bowl menu after firestorm over $36 guacamole https://t.co/ZzU09Q1Kv7 pic.twitter.com/DLRX6qRUSY

Ike’s Food and Cocktails, in downtown Minneapolis, recently unveiled a new Super Bowl menu. Included in their limited-time options, was a $36.00 order of Guacamole and Chips. That decimal was placed properly… in case you had to read that a couple of times. For offering this high-priced item, Ike’s is getting beat up like their wearing purple in an NFC Championship Game.

With complaints flying in faster than Philadelphia Eagles’ points (and their fans’ hurled, still-full, beer cans), the downtown Minneapolis restaurant called an audible. Enter the Ike’s Food & Cocktails Public Relations Department:

Questionable Business Approaches 101: “Deny, deny, deny.”

As you can see from the above statement, that’s the route Ike’s chose to take. That’s fine. I’m not mad at them. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Unfortunately for the Minneapolis establishment, their “misprint” claims aren’t pulling the wool over our eyes. Things got a little out-of-hand after that and Ike’s was backpedaling uglier than that guy you throw out in right-field because the rest of your softball team couldn’t make it. It was hard to watch. And they kept on deleting these posts… screenshots people. It’s f*cken 2018.

Finally… well apparently… a HIGHly thought-out, 7836 word facebook post was necessary to clear things up….

This has become so strange. Every item on Ike’s menu was marked up 300%. They had $38 sliders, $44 ribs, $54 roasted chicken, $72 beef skewers, etc. Ike’s management repeatedly insisting only the $36 guacamole was an issue makes me doubt their whole story. https://t.co/a0J2RnyF8z

Or not… Ike’s PR people must not be much for math… among other things.

This is simple:

The restaurant got caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar. Although they probably went too far, trying to convert on increased demand is human nature. Attempting to spin-zone this situation like you actually knew what you were doing was the real mistake. They probably should’ve taken a different approach. Like, one that didn’t make them look like idiots.

If I had to put out this so-called firestorm, I own up to it. I don’t know. Blame it all on anger derived from the 38-7 debacle. “You’re right. We f*cked up. The Vikings lost and we went full psycho. Our bad.”

Actually, Ike’s should have stood strong with their limited-time menu, with ONE exception: “Any patrons with a valid State of Minnesota ID get normal menu prices and Eagles’ fans need a $50 to get their f*cken avocado fix. And we throw it at them, on top of everything! SKOL!”

Done and done. Next issue?

(Note: My spin-zone talent isn’t available for hire. We have big plans at Minnesota Sports Fan. My talent for spin will likely be needed here sooner, rather than later.)

And at the end of the day, WHO CARES! I’m only writing about this to distract me. I’m trying to avoid the bottomless pit of heartbreak eventually awaiting me, when the end of the SKOL season finally sinks in. The aftermath of falling just short of competing for a Super Bowl ring in your own backyard is dark. Like a toddler on a long car ride, we need distractions before temper tantrums, replaced by constant dull whining, kick in. If Skol Nation focuses too much on what is happening around us, the resulting stress will be detrimental to our cumulative lifespans.

If you’re in the mood for more diversions, here’s number 84, who can always make us smile:

As we all know, Sunday is the “Super Bowl, Homeboy.”

In an attempt to cheer up Skol Nation, I’ll be offering 7 days of Randy Moss gems.
