Never a dull moment in Philadelphia. There is a guy who claims he was the fan that Nick Sirianni yelled at at the end of the Browns game. This popped up on r/Eagles Monday:

I was hoping to get around to this sooner, but it just did not happen. I am the fan who Sirianni’s “yelling” at the end of the game was directed to. I am hoping to provide some context, because it was actually awesome!

There I was in section 138, row 2, seat 4. 1st play of the game was a 5-yard run by Barkley. 2nd and 5, incomplete pass. 3rd and 5, incomplete pass. 4th and 5, punt. During the Brown’s next drive, there was a TV timeout due to injury. It was during this time that I voiced my concerns to Kellen and Nick.

I began to yell, “If your star running back gets 5 yards on first down, you give it to him again! RUN. THE. BALL. RUN. THE. BALL.” I had some more to say, but you get the point.

Nick turned around, gestured for me to calm down, and said something to the effect of “We will, don’t worry. I’m on it!”

Fast forward to the end of the game. Nick came over to this area and began saying “I told you we would run! I told you!” Admittedly, this is paraphrasing because I had indulged quite a bit at this point. The point being that it was not an unwarranted, nor did I see it as aggressive. Rather, I saw it as him making a point to let me know that he followed through.

I wish I could provide this context elsewhere too, but I felt this was at least a good place to start.

If this is what happened it’s pretty anticlimactic, no? Can we get any corroborating from anyone that might’ve been in section 138 and saw this all go down?

The poster also put out ticket proof and a picture of him at the railing behind the Eagles bench:

For the sake of the exercise we’ll pretend this is true. What is Sirianni doing talking to fans during games like they’re his coaches doing the game planning? I couldn’t imagine turning around and telling a frustrated Eagles fan to have some patience and the gameplan will come together. Could you imagine a doctor doing that during surgery? I’m gonna need 100% of your attention on my opened chest cavity not the med student chirping you from behind the glass. Not to mention, according to the Redditor, this was in the first series of the game. So Nick Sirianni allegedly had this fan in the back of his mind the entire time and couldn’t wait to go over and tell him, “I told you so.” Sweet.

The Redditor also called into WIP as “Kevin from Warminster” (of course he’s probably an Archbishop Wood guy) and claimed he didn’t know what Nick Sirianni said and that it felt more jovial than what the cameras caught.

He also mentioned Sirianni was laughing when he walked away:

If that’s the case this entire story is overblown and his answers after the game and the “apology” look even dumber now (Kinkead: this is the biggest takeaway, apologizing for a nothing burger).

Jason Kelce defended Sirianni on Monday Night Countdown last night fwiw:
