Here’s a story that has a happy ending.
Remember the guy who ran into the pole in the infamous viral video from before the NFC Championship Game? Of course you do. Well, things have turned out alright for Jigar Desai because he’s going to see his favorite football team play in London ... for free.
“From ‘mind the pillars’ to ‘Mind the Gap’… London, here we come!” Desai told the Associated Press.
Because of the wildly popular viral nature of the video, the NFL reached out to Desai and got him involved with a short film in which he returns to the scene of the crime, talks about his love for the Eagles, makes peace with the pillar he is famous for colliding with and is awarded free tickets to see the Eagles play in London from Swoop and the cheerleaders.
So, there you have it. We hope Jigar and his family have a great time in London and cheer the Eagles to victory. He posted a little more insight on social media in response to NBCSPhilly's tweet.
Have a safe trip.
