It's hard for me to describe how much I want the Eagles to beat Sam Bradford tomorrow.

I refuse to believe Sam Bradford is going to go into Philly and pick the Eagles defense apart.

There was trash talk:
@TheJonasKnox @SwollenDome Do I start a Broken down Carson Palmer Sunday night or a soon to be broken by the Eagle Defense Sam Bradford?

Expectations of trash talk:
Hopefully the birds fans are too busy trying to make Sam Bradford cry tomorrow that they don't notice me in my Vikings jersey

Some pleas for respect:
And pure comedy:
I had a dream Carson Wentz and Sam Bradford were on celebrity death match and I just wanna thank my subconscious for that entertainment π

You can’t forget the sleeves:
About to start a petition to make Sam Bradford wear normal sleeves. The fact that the stripes are half way up his sleeves drives me crazy.

If Sam Bradford beats us in our house, I'm cutting all my sleeves off my shirts. #Eagles
