There’s no doubt that our fearless leader El Presidente is going to spend some time this weekend gloating about how the Patriots are the last-standing Barstool team in the NFL playoffs and how Tom Brady is a demigod who cums liquid silver, but little does he know how far behind the Pats really are. Super Bowls? Please. Silver Linings Playbook (herein referred to as “The Eagles”) got 8 Oscar nominations from the Academy. EIGHT. Sorry Pres but I don’t see Kraft/Belichick/Brady landing any of that gold come awards night.

The Eagles are gonna come away with Best Picture, Best Actress, and Bradley Cooper is going to accept his Best Actor Oscar in a kelly green Reggie White jersey covered in trash bags. It’s gonna be glorious. Even movie stars from other cities are trying to be down now:

Get off our dick, Marky Mark.

And we haven’t even talked about the Flyers’ appearance in This is 40. It’s wall-to-wall Philly sports movie dominance this year. Have fun watching your team on that little small-screen ESPN station or whatever.

PS – Have I actually seen the movie yet? …No.
