Things get really weird when the NFL comes back, and that was proven when a Philadelphia TV host decided to celebrate the start of the Eagles season in a weird and painful way.
Good Day Philadelphia kicked things off this week on Friday morning as 74-year-old Mike Jerrick decided to put his legs straight up into the air live on-air for a Brazilian wax.
This is how excited he was about the Philadelphia Eagles getting set to play football in 2024.

By his side were Jerrick’s co-hosts, Alex Holley and Karen Hepp, who were horrified to see what was happening, but it was a lot like a bad car wreck as they both couldn’t help but watch parts of it as he screamed out in pain.
His unconventional act of team spirit may not sit well with many of the viewers, but it certainly reflected the happiness of Philadelphia’s media landscape and the unwavering support for the Eagles.
The segment could be described as more unsettling than anything, with viewers wanting to know about Jerrick’s potential wardrobe choice behind the screen. He appeared to be naked but likely had on some shorts because Human Resources would’ve had a field day.
Philadelphia Eagles Looking To Rebound From Tough Ending To 2023 Campaign
With one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, the Eagles are looking to return to the top of the NFC, but this time, not fall apart at the end of the season and advance to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years.
The team is entering 2024 with high expectations, looking to avenge one of the worst collapses in NFL history.
The Eagles were the last undefeated team, starting 5-0 before losing to the New York Jets.
They began the year 1-1 before the 49ers destroyed them and turned their season upside down.
The team won just one game the remainder of the way and was eliminated from the playoffs in the Wild Card round.
Philadelphia had an aggressive offseason, signing running back Saquon Barkley to improve one of the NFL’s most talented offenses.
