Takeo Spikes, Probably Not a Member of PETA

By Chris Mottram
Eagles linebacker Takeo Spikes is the proud owner of dozens -- if not hundreds -- of pet Chinchillas. The only problem is that they are all dead and residing atop this fashion icon’s dome:

And just in case not enough animals died in the making of the fur portion of that hat, the bill you see there is made out of leather.
As The 700 Level points out, Spikes also had a matching Chinchilla coat on during his post-game interview (watch video). Of course, there’s “nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of nature.”
