This is absolutely glorious. On Thursday evening’s episode of Jeopardy!, contestant Adam’s selection of “One-Word Book Titles” for $1,600 triggered a Daily Double. That’s when the magic happened. Adam, never one to shy away from a moment to flaunt his fandom, wagered $4,133. When host Alex Trebek asked if there was any significance to the oddly-specific wager, Adam dropped this nugget LIKE A BOSS:
This man is a Philadelphia treasure. Wagers $4133 in honor of the Eagles SB win over the Pats and makes Trebek chuckle. Well done. pic.twitter.com/tGxZoGGaYU

Adam: I will wager $4133.
Trebek: Is there a significance to that?
Adam: It’s the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory score.
Take that, Tom Brady.
