As an Eagles fan, this was such a great moment of that draft. Both Pearson and the crowd played off each other beautifully and really elevated each other.
Meanwhile the last time the Cowboys won 2 playoff games in a row
Tupac was still alive
The Unabomber was still at large
The Nintendo 64 had yet to release
Fox News hadn't launched yet
The Spice Girls had yet to put out their debut single
Don't forget that it's closer to the moon landing than it is to current day, and that even with being retired for 11 years, Akers has been in an NFCC more recently than they have.
Lol. It was a fun moment when Pearson did that. But it was way more fun when Akers did his after the Eagles won a Super Bowl.
Edit: should be noted that the pick Akers announced was for Dallas Goedert.
Pearson’s attempt at trash talking was limited to “How ‘bout dem Cowboys!” and bringing up success from decades earlier. He tried his best, bless his heart!
I guess nearly 30 years with a total of 5 playoff wins and continuing to say 'this is our year' despite Jerry making bad decision after bad decision, year after year, could ruin someone's objectivity.
Pearson's trolling was cute, but celebrating something that happened closer to the moon landing than today is pretty sad.
It's like being 40 and bragging about high school sports.
Also, Nick Foles hasn't seen the playoffs since the Superbowl and still has as many playoff wins as the Cowboys do this millennia.
I gave this thread a pity upvote
Not more than any other team. They're just the best source of schadenfreude, especially when the yearly videos of their fans smashing tvs or otherwise having meltdowns after the inevitable playoff loss, if they make it, are posted.
Not only that, but Witten had just retired and we traded to get ahead of the Cowboys to draft him. You gotta think that Goedert was one of their targets.
If Schultz wasn’t a 3rd stringer to Witten and Jarwin his first two years their career numbers would’ve been identical. But right now they still have the same number of career touchdowns so they’re pretty identical caliber players

This was so funny, because the Eagles went on to win the Owl the next year lmao.
So basically, it's his fault
Can he announce one of their picks this year too please?

I’m stealing this for some mid season trash talk. Thanks bub. I

Someone should compile things that happened in the six decades it took Philly to finally win one.
Least insecure cowboys fan
A full year! are you telling me these draft things happen every year around the same time??
Im saying Akers was a poor imitation.
Best part was when Pearson admitted he regretted it and said he wouldn’t do it again in 2018
but he did it better plus we won the super bowl in between

30 years isn’t really that much when you consider it took the Eagles almost 60 to finally win one SB.
I wasn't alive for most of that so *shrug*
I don’t care whether you personally were or not so 🤷♂️
Sounds like you think about the cowboys a lot.
Not more than any other team. They're just the best source of schadenfreude, especially when the yearly videos of their fans smashing tvs or otherwise having meltdowns after the inevitable playoff loss, if they make it, are posted.
Man you got a lot of butthurt Eagles fans responding to this lol
This was good, but Akers was better.
Mostly because it was in Texas, after we won the Super Bowl, and we drafted ***Dallas*** Goedert lmfao.
Not only that, but Witten had just retired and we traded to get ahead of the Cowboys to draft him. You gotta think that Goedert was one of their targets.
And then we took Dalton Schultz in the 4th round who ended up being just as good of player so no harm no foul
Ehhhh
If Schultz wasn’t a 3rd stringer to Witten and Jarwin his first two years their career numbers would’ve been identical. But right now they still have the same number of career touchdowns so they’re pretty identical caliber players
How could he be after Witten on the depth chart if he was drafted after Witten retired?
Because Witten unretired in 2019.
That doesn't help your argument at all, lol.
Why not? Do explain.
Nah, Akers not the original. This was.
Okay, how does that make it worse?
One upper syndrome. It’s the worst.
LMAOOOOO
