Jimmy Garoppolo ain’t ruling out a Super Bowl return should the San Francisco 49ers get by the Eagles Sunday. Head on a swivel, Brock Purdy!
Garoppolo, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last month against the Dolphins, told The Athletic Friday his status for a potential Super Bowl was still “up in the air” and that he could he “do everything on his still-mending foot but sprint.”

Philadelphia Eagles fans are livid after a San Francisco 49ers fan dressed the famed ‘Rocky’ statue in a Niners shirt.
If anyone knows anything about Philly, that’s a big no-no. Those fans are psychotic over their love and appreciation of Rocky. Seriously. I believe Eagles fans care more about the Rocky statue than the Liberty Bell. And to have someone tarnish the iconic Philly image? Whew, not great.
Of course that’s if I actually was a fan of Philadelphia. Of which I am not.
