PHOTOS: Philly Is Going Wild for the Eagles (and it’s Wonderful)
Featuring pole greasing, pole climbing, a few fires, dog masks and many, many crowds.

It’s a terrific day to be a Philadelphian.
Our heads, like yours, are still spinning from last night’s win. So let’s keep it short: Philly went absolutely bonkers after our Eagles battered the Minnesota Vikings 38-7. We’re going to the Super Bowl. Repeat: We’re. Going. To. The. Super. Bowl.
Here are some of the best reactions from the game, mostly because they show off how passionate/weird Eagles fans are:

More evidence: pole scaling, despite the efforts of the Crisco Cops:

"Cheers for Foles! Jeers for Poles!" Despite @PhillyPolice's preemptive plan, an application of Crisco was not enough to keep #Eagles fans from climbing light poles https://t.co/oC83iqB9XY pic.twitter.com/J8sKEgIZZU

Plus some winners from the Philadelphia Police Department (which probably had a lot to do last night):

This is Broad & Shunk. I asked one guy what would happen if the Eagles won the Super Bowl. "They might have to call the military," he said. pic.twitter.com/kKh8xx9T1F
