Bob CollinsJigar Desai isn’t coming to Minneapolis for the Super Bowl. He’s recovering from some injuries sustained while on his way to the Vikings-Eagles game in Philadelphia on Sunday.
He said he wasn’t trying to catch the train when he ran into a concrete pole. He just saw a bunch of Eagles fans and wanted to get them pumped up.
Alcohol was involved.
‘Yeah, I hit the pole, but the passion is there,’’ Desai tells the Boston Globe. ‘‘It reflects the passion of the entire city. We are good fans. Yeah, there are a couple of bad apples in the mix, in any city you’re going to find that, but I think as a whole we have supported this team for years and years and years. I think this city is ready to bring home the hardware.’’
He went to work on Monday at a pharmaceutical company and was a little sore so he was contemplating seeing a doctor today.
A look at the game film shows it could have been a lot worse.
Desai realizes he’s gone viral, but figures it’s not like he punched a horse.
‘It was just running into a pole,’’ he said.
