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.

Ed Reed found his phone after a few days off, fired up the Instagram Live and gave us a SPICY few minutes of ripping Bethune-Cookman (and more Shannon Sharpe!) to start our weekends strong.
The NFL Hall of Famer was fired (?) one week ago from a job he never technically had: head football coach at the Daytona Beach HBCU.

Nielsen’s former best player, Cameron Jordan, said it was “inevitable” that Nielsen get his own defense to run, while also lamenting him going to the Saints’ biggest rival.
