Anti-Brady Billboard Going Up In Boston, Thanks To Eagles Fan
The spoils from the Super Bowl victory are not over by a long shot.

The long road to recovery for the New England Patriots — and the spoils at the end of the road to victory for the Eagles — continue to make themselves felt.
Dedicated Eagles fan Gina Lewis, who currently lives and works as a registered nurse in Massachusetts, placed a bet with her Patriot-loving coworker. The bet was if a certain tweet written by her got 4,100 likes and 3,300 retweets (reflecting the final score of the Super Bowl) on Twitter, he would pay to get a billboard mocking Tom Brady put up in New England territory.
That was on June 23. A few short hours later, the deed was done and then some. Everything since then has been planning where the billboard will go. As of Tuesday morning, the tweet more than 8,000 retweets and more than 13,000 likes. Here's Lewis' tweet:

"My coworker (Pats fan) says if I can get 4100 likes and 3300 RTs he’ll pay to put this on a Billboard here in New England!! He says the chances of getting that many are as good as us winning another SB!!! Eagles Nation, let’s hand New England another L and make this happen!! "
The billboard will feature a photo of a decisive play in the final moments of the 2018 Super Bowl, when Brandon Graham sacked Brady, forcing a fumble and ending the Patriots chances.

The effort was helped along with some retweets by Eagles luminaries, like former player and radio host Ike Reese.
On Twitter, Lewis said she's already had a few refusals from businesses in Boston to put up the sign. The aim is to put it on one of "Boston's busiest highways."
Eventually, the billboard will have to come down. It may only be up for a few hours or days. Eagles fans in Boston don't need to worry, though. They can always head over to the Franklin Park Zoo to visit the baby goat named for Nick Foles.
glad WE got it done!!! https://t.co/g3b2gqITJf
