Why everyone in Philly might get a free beer
Lane Johnson wanted to send a thank you to the Eagles fans for sticking with the team after his difficult 2016 season.
So, in August, he made a promise - in front of multiple reporters.
"I have a lot to prove to this city," Johnson told reporters following the team's open practice at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday. "I think if we have a few big years and make the playoffs, if we win a Super Bowl, I'm giving out beer to everybody."
That's a lot of beer Lane.
Luckily, an eagle-eyed person at Bud Light saw an opportunity.
And yes, they plan on honoring it.
I mean, good PR is priceless.
"Bud Light has not forgotten about our commitment to Lane Johnson, the Eagles and the city of Philadelphia," the company said in a statement to CBS Philly. "We will be sharing plans soon, but in the interest of not jinxing the team ahead of their upcoming games, we are not going to unveil any plans at this time. We wish the Eagles the best of luck this weekend."
