So for the Cowboys fans…. They always say their rival is Washington. Basically it’s a taunt to Eagles fans. Anyway time to put up or shut up: who are you rooting against this week?

Looking forward to the national media essentially making it seem like the Eagles are underdogs all week.

They won’t do that but there will be questions about Hurts.

They absolutely will because of that.

great question…for years, I DESPISED Washington….george allen, joe theismann, dan snyder, etc….I never had near the animosity toward philly or NY.

somehow, tho, I’m rooting against philly. sorry.

hard to root against jayden daniels and I am beyond sick of jason kelce.

correct me if I’m wrong…

I’ve always felt the cowboys are more in eagles fans heads than vice versa.

it’s like…..and I hate to admit this, but it’s true….the dodgers are more in giants fans heads than vice versa.

lol I very much appreciate the backhanded compliment to yourself in this one, wob.

Anyway, I'd say yes but it has nothing to do with the Cowboys fans at large - it's everything to do with Dallas fans from Philly. I've always considered the Giants the team/fans I find the rivalry with over any other team.

The whole Washington/Dallas rivalry has always been incredibly stupid to me, especially since it's based on how good teams were 35+ years ago (not to mention it's really the idea of 'Cowboys vs. Indians' lol)

At this point it's just fun to dance on Dallas's grave over and over again because of how much of a joke they are, as opposed to what the owner perceives them to be due to what they won 30+ years ago.

when/what did I bluff? I’ve never been “Go Philly” but I have always enjoyed youse guyses ridicule of the current Giants. I don’t hate the eagles but I don’t root for them, unless maybe they were playing the Brady patriots.

ill try to finish the ones you weren't sure of

9 - I believe it's the Italian Market
12 - I think it was Carlton not Ruthven
16 - Ivan Drago
21 - Taylor Swift
24 - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
25 - Ryan Howard
26 - yea no idea - never saw Creed
28 - Cereal but can't remember the brand - Corn Flakes?
30 - Abbott Elementary
33 - no idea as well

Johnny Abruzzo · January 21

Nobody has gotten #9 right yet.

Yes, Carlton won Game 6. The broadcast shows his regular season record of 24-9 and basically just shrugged.

#28 - I'll accept cereal - it was Raisin Bran.

#26 and #33 still out there.

Jearlpam0925 · January 21

They go ice skating. For the longest time I thought it was Rizzo Rink

26 was atvs and dirt bikes

All I know about #33,without looking it up, is thank God it's more popular than Rogan's podcast

The Juggler · January 21

I know it....he took her ice skating!

Jearlpam0925 · January 21

But more importantly, why I'm here right now: apparently teams can wear their alternate units in one playoff game. They would be stupid not to wear them on Sunday.

As opposed to... just keep wearing the regular uniforms the whole postseason? If you won 2 so far...
