NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – If you were near Saints quarterback Tyler Shough at Saturday\u2019s Krewe of Pygmalion parade, you may be entitled to compensation.<\/p>\n
Serving as grand marshal at the Krewe of Pygmalion parade, the first-time Carnival celebrity raised eyebrows — and some defensive hands — with the intensity of some of his throws of soft foam souvenir footballs into the adoring crowds.<\/p>\n
Simply put, Shough showed laughably little chill during a widely shared portion of his first Mardi Gras ride.<\/p>\n
The manner in which New Orleans\u2019 QB1 was slingin\u2019 it elicited dozens of amused responses on social media. A sampling:<\/p>\n
Some six year old out there is getting SMOKED.<\/p>\n
