Did the Eagles Troll the Cowboys By Warming Up to Creed?

If the Eagles blow out the 49ers on Sunday it’s because Scott Stapp fired them up before practice:

But was it actually an elaborate troll from the Eagles? Creed did Higher during their legendary halftime performance at the Cowboys’ 2001 Thanksgiving game:

I mean Nick Sirianni loves a good troll. How else do you explain Boston Scott scoring in every Giants game this year?

Can we talk about something that’s missing from this playoff run for a second? I’m dying for a song the Eagles and their fans can get behind. We had Dreams & Nightmares for the last one. It was perfect. The build up and the beat drop midway through could fire up the most boring person at your tailgate. Then the Phillies playoff run gave us Dancing on My Own, which was just a fun song to belt out drunk in a bar. Could it be Creed’s Higher? Probably not. I thought maybe it’d be Lose Yourself after Nick Sirianni showed the guys the 8 Mile rap battles before the Giants game:

I’m told Nick Sirianni in the team meeting last night showed the Eagles the rap battle from Eminem‘s 8 Mile movie and the players loved it

Maybe there isn’t one. A Super Bowl trophy is enough. Or maybe Scott Stapp performs at the Super Bowl parade:
