The City Of Philadelphia Is Flat Out Dominating Super Bowl Week In New Orleans

As much as it pains be to say this, I'm pulling for the Eagles this weekend. It's one of those "the enemy, or my bigger enemy is my friend" situations. 

I know close to 90% of the country can relate. 

But Philly has made things a lot easier this week for us all by putting on an absolute clinic on how to plant your flag in a foreign territory and declare it your own. 

It started with Fox Good Morning Philadelphia host Mike Jerrick coming in hot on Monday morning (clip above). 

That's how you set the tone.

He is fucking hilarious. You can tell he's just being himself and it's not an act. I would love to party with this guy.

And he wasn't done there. Later in the week Jerrick hijacked a Fox Kansas City reporter's live segment. 

And if that wasn't enough, one of the biggest movie star's in the world, Philly native Bradley Cooper brought his food truck down to New Orleans and is slingin cheese steaks on the streets. 

(Sidebar- Philly is one of my sneaky favorite food cities in the country. See my blog on their roast pork sandwiches here. And the fact that Bradley Cooper teamed up with one of the best pizza places in the country, Danny DiGiampietro of Angelo's in South Philly, to partner on his cheesesteak company, is major. As if Angelo's wasn't great enough with their pizza, they also make one of the best italian grinders AND cheesesteaks on the planet. My mouth is watering just thinking about one right now)

This isn't some gimmick or charade by Cooper either. Guy is on the fucking line, sweating over the grill chopping up shaved sirloin. And has been for weeks. 

As if that wasn't enough, the Philadelphia Inquirer this week just casually dropped that a teenage fan just so happens to be in possession of the team's 1960 NFL Championship trophy. This story is wild.

Philly Inquirer - We move one day closer to Super Bowl LIX and the storylines continue to flow out of New Orleans, especially with Monday’s media night behind us. There will be plenty on the Eagles-Chiefs matchup as the week goes on. For now, let’s look at an offbeat story out of West Chester.

What if I told you there was a 15-year-old boy who owns a trophy from the Eagles' championship run in 1960? The same Eagles — Chuck Bednarik, Norm Van Brocklin and Co. — who beat Vince Lombardi’s Packers at Franklin Field.

Not only does Unionville High sophomore Liam Edelstein own the trophy, he sits on the couch with it as he watches Eagles games and rubs it for good luck. It’s hard to believe that the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which is worth $50,000, will ever end up that way, but who knows? Matt Breen tells the story of how the teen inherited the trophy.

On top of all that, Rone dropped another banger team hype anthem. 

Dan and PFT are performing great-karma deeds of service for diehard Eagles fans in the company who make the magic happen. 

and Kate and Max have been crushing it. 

That's how you create great vibes heading into a Super Bowl against an evil opponent with the deck stacked against you. Go birds.
