What a way to ignite the already heated rivalry between the two fan bases. As you can imagine, the Eagles fan base was not pleased at all with the shade that was being thrown at Wentz. Although this may anger the fan base, it really sets the tone for how things are going to go this season.

The Eagles and the Cowboys rivarly has been nothing less then interesting over the last few seasons. The constant criticism of the young quarterbacks (on both sides) have fans raving about their guy and throwing shade at the enemy. Although, at times, it can be frustrating, that’s what the game is all about. If Dez Bryant wants to throw shade at Carson Wentz, so be it. But he should be more focused on catching it in the playoffs. Roasted.
