Shane Gillis usually goes viral for an inappropriate joke.
So it was unusual to see the die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan attend NFL enemy territory by attending San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey’s swanky New England wedding in late June, when the franchise RB’s (now on the IR) mom crushed the dance floor.

Luckily Brassel was there to console Gillis, as the Eagles blew the game in vintage Philly fashion with a last-second defeat to the Falcons 22-21.
