The “Unlike Agholor” Guy Says He Caught Two People from Burning Building and “Ran Them in for a Touchdown”
Published:
Of course NBC’s John Clark, aka ‘Johnny Airport,’ was going to land the Hakim Laws interview.
In case you’re living under a rock, Laws is the samaritan who helped pull kids out of a burning West Philadelphia building on Monday morning. His interview with local TV stations went viral due to this line right here:
“My man just started throwing babies out the window. But we was catching ’em, unlike Agholor.”
Here he is with Clark in Fairmount Park on Tuesday during a follow-up interview:
I caught up with the Eagles fan that went viral for calling out Nelson Agholor while he was describing rescuing people from a burning building
He was thinking “No fumble” 😳
“So I caught two. And then ran them in for a touchdown” 😂

“My first thought actually in the back of my head was like yeah, no fumble.”
Laws says he caught two babies then “ran them in for a touchdown.” He was thinking about the Eagles loss all day, and channeled that frustration into a fundamentally sound rescue effort.
As far as I’m concerned, Laws should have the keys to the city. He should be honorary team captain at the next Jets home game. He should be greeted to a thunderous round of applause.
