Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman had a memorable experience during the team’s victory parade when a flying beer can struck him in the head, drawing blood. However, Roseman took it in stride, garnering laughs from both himself and other parade-goers. As the mastermind behind the Eagles’ success, having led the team to three Super Bowl appearances and two victories in just eight years, Roseman remained undeterred. Addressing the fans in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, he proudly declared, “I bleed for this city! Go Eagles!” with a visible wound still on his head. Despite the unexpected mishap, Roseman emphasized the exceptional teamwork displayed by the players and staff, expressing confidence in the team’s future success. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro playfully scolded Eagles fans for the beer toss incident, humorously noting the need for a gentler touch next time. Despite the light-hearted moment, Shapiro commended law enforcement, first responders, and Mayor of Philadelphia for their efforts in ensuring a smooth and incident-free parade. Roseman’s reputation as a decorated executive in professional football was further solidified by his strategic decision-making, including building a championship-winning defense through the draft and acquiring standout running back Saquon Barkley from the rival New York Giants. Barkley’s exceptional performance, leading the league in rushing yards, underscored Roseman’s keen eye for talent and commitment to sustaining the Eagles’ success.
