Why did the Eagles fan request 8 players be his pallbearer?

Fox– A dying Philadelphia Eagles fan used one of his final wishes to request eight Eagles players serve as pallbearers at his funeral.

Why? So that his favorite NFL team could “let him down one last time.”

Jeffrey Riegel, of Port Republic, New Jersey, passed away last week at the age of 56 after a battle with cancer.

“God gave Jeffrey the miracle of time to prepare which allowed him to verbalize his last wishes,” Riegel’s obituary reads. “He requested to have eight Philadelphia Eagles as pall bearers so the Eagles can let him down one last time.
