Dallas played in the NFC Championship on Jan. 21, 1996. Jalen Hurts was born on Aug. 7, 1998. Baby Hurts grew up, learned how to play football, went to college, squatted 600 lbs, graduated, got drafted by the Eagles, and made it to the NFC Championship before Dallas went back.

Brief delay this inning because the bat boy forgot Trea Turner’s oven mitts. As part of MLB’s new rules to speed up the game, the bat boy was executed.

And it’s complete. Visiting fan checklist:. - Disrespect the Rocky statue ✅.- Brag about “taking over Philly” ✅.- Watch team get its ass beat ✅.- Complain about mean Eagles fans ✅.
Lincoln financial field lives up to its fan experience for opposing team fans. I was verbally & physically harassed, taunted, threatened. I had stuff thrown at me. All in the name of football. I truly wish the @NFL would address the conduct of code there. #RaiseHail.
