The Only Thing Worse Than An Iggles Fan Is An Iggles Fan That Used To Be From New York

Eagles fans can be such huge pains in the ass:

The son of the legendary late Giants owner Wellington Mara tackled and choked a fellow broker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday after the man mocked the team, sources said.

Veteran floor trader Bob Tomasulo, a 57-year-old grandfather, was assaulted and barraged with obscenities in front of stunned co-workers after kidding with Stephen Mara about the Giants’ embarrassing 36-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, witnesses and Tomasulo told The Post.

“Mara started screaming, ‘I’m gonna f- – -ing kill you! Don’t f- – – around with my family! Don’t insult my family!’ ” one broker said.

“Bob was like, ‘Hey, what is your problem? It’s just a game!’ And Mara yells, ‘No, it’s not just a game, it’s my f- – -ing family!’ ”

Tomasulo said the bizarre broker brouhaha broke out at around 10:30 a.m., after he walked past Mara and pretended to do a basketball jump shot, mocking the celebratory on-field routine performed by Big Blue players after touchdowns and sacks.

Tomasulo, an Eagle fan, said that he and Mara, 47, had enjoyed a friendly sports rivalry for years and that last week, the son of the former Giants owner kiddingly told him, “We’re gonna kick your guys’ you-know-what.”

“I said, ‘Yeah, probably,’ ” Tomasulo recalled.

“[Yesterday] morning, I just did that stupid little jump shot, and I said, ‘Maybe you have a basketball team instead of a football team.’

“[Mara] just snapped. He charged me like an animal. He charged me like he wanted to sack me.

“At first, he got me in a bear hug and bent me over a trading post. At first, I thought it was a joke. Then he proceeded to choke me. I passed out for a minute.”

. . .

An NYSE official called the trading-floor rumble “nothing major, a slight disagreement between a couple of people.”

But Tomasulo said NYSE lawyers contacted him and “to them, this is a very serious incident.”

“The doctors told me I have a bruised larynx. My blood pressure spiked to 260 over 140,” said Tomasulo, adding that he was treated by NYSE medical staffers.

He said he didn’t take Mara’s apologetic phone call because “I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him.

“I’m 57 years old. I’ve been bullied and pushed around a lot in life. I grew up in Brooklyn. I’m just sick of taking it,” he said.

Tomasulo — who became an Eagles fan when he moved to Bucks County, Pa. — said he’s unsure whether he will hire a lawyer. But “if they told me [Mara] was suspended from work for ‘X’ amount of days, I wouldn’t be upset,” he said.
