Don’t Mess With Rocky

Every team that has done something to the rocky statue has lost

In 2018 the Minnesota Vikings had just come off of a big win against the Saints (Minnesota miracle) and were to play the Eagles who had just barely beat the falcons in the wild card round next. The Vikings fans were just a bit too cocky and showed that by putting Vikings gear on the Rocky statue. The Eagles man-handled them and won 38-7. The Eagles made it to the super bowl being the underdog in every game in the playoff that year and had to play the Patriots, who had came back from 24 points to beat the Falcons in the super bowl the year before and were looking to go back to back against the Eagles. The Patriots fans thought that the Eagles were no match for them and thought that they could have some fun in Philly by putting a Tom Brady jersey on the Rocky statue. That didn’t end well for the Patriots because they lost 41-33 in the super bowl and the Eagles have not let them forget it. Then in 2023, 5 years to the day of when the Vikings put Vikings stuff on Rocky and lost 38-7, Giants fans who for some reason thought that they could beat the Eagles and put a Giants jersey on the Rocky statue to show how much they hate Philly but then lost 38-7. Is history repeating itself? Just this weekend the 49ers put a 49ers shirt on the Rocky statue. The Eagles put an end to the game pretty early in their 31-7 win. Now the Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the super bowl. Ahead of the game star tight-end for the chiefs Travis Kelce said to Chiefs fans “Chiefs, do not touch the f–king Rocky memorial!” “and definitely don’t put an No. 87 [jersey] on it!” The Rocky curse is real and if you mess with it you’ll get what you deserve.
