The Shadow
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – An employee of the Philadelphia Eagles has apologized for twice spitting on the midfield star at the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium and posting video of it on the team Web site.
Eagles Web site editor Dave Spadaro posted the apology on the Eagles site Wednesday night. The video has been removed from the site.
Spadaro recorded the video before last week’s 24-0 loss to the Cowboys as part of his “Spudcam” feature. Holding a camera at midfield, he pans around the new stadium before spitting on the star.
Spadaro says he was not trying to insult the Cowboys but acted unprofessionally while trying to enjoy the spirit of the rivalry.
The Cowboys host the Eagles on Saturday night in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
