If the Eagles aren’t willing to trash talk the 49ers ahead of the biggest game of the season, at least one incredibly Philadelphia man is willing to take up the mantle.
Local Philly NBC affiliate station WCAU-TV previewed Sunday’s rematch of last season’s NFC Championship game with a rehash of the many coping mechanisms the 49ers deployed in the weeks after of that 31-7 loss (or, in Deebo Samuel’s case, the months after). The program, which aired Monday, then cut to an interview with a man named Kenny Justice.
Wearing a camo Eagles hat and an Eagles pullover windbreaker with a big logo on the front, Justice ripped the Niners, their complaints, their fans and the wine drinking habits of the West Coast, all in a classic Philly accent.

“You know, a real professional football team, with real professional men, take a loss. Instead, they cried about it. ‘Oh if our quarterback wasn’t hurt.’ If you would have frickin’ blocked for him, he wouldn’t have been hurt!
“You suck, you’re not man enough to admit it. Now you’re going to come back here, and you’re going to get your ass kicked again, and we’re going to show you how men play. Not like those little whiners from the West Coast who drink their little wine with their pinkies up, and act like they’re so superior. Guess what? This is Philly. You’re going to lose. You suck!”
Finally, the spice that a game of this magnitude needs comes out thanks to this rowdy Philadelphia fan. The 8-3 49ers, the No. 2 team in the NFC, take on the 10-1 Eagles, the conference’s top team, on Sunday at 1:25 p.m. Pacific time.
