That, or they had nothing else to write about today…
The Eagles nailed it once again with their splash cartoon. This week, they poked fun at the Chicago-based Blues Brothers.
Maggie Hendricks of NBCChicago.com calls it "blasphemy": [via NBCPhiladelphia.com]
They use our beloved movie, "Blues Brothers," as inspiration for a short cartoon that depicts the Eagles offensive stars getting tons of touchdowns, then shows our beloved quarterback Jay Cutler as a turkey.
Really, Philly? That's the route you want to go? We, of course, are far too classy to ever toy with their movie about that boxer, but class is not something Philadelphians are known for.
Yep, that's a link to a Santa booing story from 2005 about the incident that happened in 1968. Way to be creative, Maggie. But you're right, the Eagles are just so classless with their cartoons about touchdowns… and turkeys.
Touchdowns. Turkeys.
The horror.
Of course, Chicagoans would never be classless when talking about an upcoming opponent.
And then there was that time Shane Victorino had a beer dumped on his head at Wrigley Field, but we're not going to start this pissing match. Or are we…
Cartoon after the jump. Auto-play alert!
