We literally just posted about some absolute hero down in Tampa saving an injured bald eagle and naming it Saquon Barkley:

Unfortunately there’s a tragic ending to this story. Saquon Barkley the Bald Eagle had to be euthanized, according to the Tampa Bay Raptor Center, due to fatal injuries.

Absolute gut punch:

What an absolute boss Saquon Barkley was in that guy’s car. It had a fractured femur and wing and you wouldn’t even know. Amazing metaphor for America right there. You might think in our current state we’re injured with the way things are. That we’re down and out. Nope. We’re still going to power through, act like nothing is wrong, and continue to be the best damn country in the world. Minus the whole dying thing of course.

Such a badass bird. RIP Saquon Barkley. Enjoy the big oak tree in the sky.

P.S. Looks like Saquon Barkley the Human has to score three touchdowns this weekend against the Bengals to honor Saquon Barkley the Bald Eagle’s legacy.
