Eagles WR NELSON AGHOLOR has "invited a man who rescued children from a burning house to be his guest at a game after the former firefighter criticized Agholor's catching skills during a television interview." HAKIM LAWS said that he was "walking in the area of a house fire when he jumped into action." According to Laws, he "waited outside while another man entered the building to help." Laws said, "My man just started throwing babies out. ... And we were catching them, unlike Agholor." The receiver tweeted, "Thank you for being a hero in the community. Would like to invite you and your family to the next home game" (AP, 9/23).
