Philadelphia Eagles Fan Bradley Cooper Doubles Down on His Fandom: 'I'm Sick!'
Bradley Cooper is one of the most famous Philadelphia Eagles fans out there, but when he made a recent appearance on the Howard Stern Show, he was forced to make a tough decision regarding his fandom.
"Big question, and I really want you to answer this in a serious manner," Stern said. "Sophie's choice for 2024, you win the Oscar not only for best director, but best actor and Carey Mulligan wins best actress, or the Eagles have a Super Bowl victory?"
Cooper, who hopes to win his first Academy Award for his 2023 film "Maestro," did not hesitate when he answered Stern's question.
"Eagles Super Bowl victory," Cooper said. "Yeah, I know, I'm sick."

He received the first of his nine Academy Award nominations in 2013, when he was nominated for Best Actor for his role in "Silver Linings Playbook." The film saw him star as an Eagles fan and was shot in and around Philadelphia.
The Eagles currently hold the best record in the NFL at 10-1 and have the third-best odds to win Super Bowl LVIII on FanDuel at +460. The two teams ahead of Philadelphia are the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, both tied at +430.
In Week 11, the Eagles rallied from a 10-point deficit at halftime to defeat the Chiefs 21-17.
Philadelphia's next step in the quest for the Super Bowl is a matchup with San Francisco on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. The two teams faced off in last year's NFC Championship Game, with the Eagles taking home a 31-7 victory.
