Performing in front of thousands at the house of the New York Giants, country singer Zach Bryan made a bold choice during one of his songs.
The famous Philadelphia Eagles fan snuck in a "Go Birds."
Since MetLife Stadium isn't located too far away from most Eagles fans, there's a good chance a notable chunk of fans in attendance appreciated the troll job. Still, for Bryan, it was a risky move.

The ultimate Matthew Stafford backup? Why the Rams love Jimmy Garoppolo
No Matthew Stafford, no problem. At least for now. With the Rams' star quarterback sidelined because of what coach Sean McVay has described as back soreness, 12th-year pro Jimmy Garoppolo is running the offense as the Rams prepare for their Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans. 'I found out pretty suddenly,' Garoppolo said of his elevation to the first-team offense on the eve of training camp. 'But that's the life of a backup quarterback.' Read more: $100-million payday ahead? Puka Nacua knows a strong 2025 for Rams could reap big rewards Stafford, entering his 17th season, is expected to join workouts next week, according to McVay. If Stafford's back problem persists, that could be trouble for a team that is expected to be a Super Bowl contender. In the meantime, they are relying on Garoppolo, who is something of a luxury for McVay and the Rams. Garoppolo, 33, is 43-21 as an NFL starter in stints with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders. He led the 49ers to the Super Bowl in the 2019 season and has played in seven postseason games. 'Jimmy Garoppolo is a starting quarterback,' McVay said. 'Obviously, we feel so fortunate to have somebody like Matthew leading the way, but Jimmy's done a great job.' Garoppolo signed with the Rams before last season after an injury-plagued 2023 season with the Raiders. The belief by many was that it would be a one-year residency with the Rams before Garoppolo sought a starting opportunity elsewhere. During the offseason, the Rams explored possibly trading Stafford before reaching agreement on an adjusted contract. Garoppolo, who had been regarded as a bridge possibility if the Rams moved on from Stafford, signed another one-year deal in March worth just over $3 million, according to 'Sean plays a big role,' Garoppolo said when asked why he decided to remain with the Rams. 'Honestly, it's just the people here. ... Having been around 12 years, you see both sides of it — and the other side can get old real quick. ... You've got to be around good people.' Garoppolo played in only one game last season. He completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns, with an interception, in a 30-25 defeat by the Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale. Now he is preparing for his 12th season.

Ex-Giants lineman Justin Pugh announces NFL retirement after 11-year career
Justin Pugh is ending his NFL career in the same place he started. The former Giants offensive lineman announced his NFL retirement Friday after 11 years, the final of which was in the 2023-24 season when he suited up for Big Blue one last time. 'Not many players get to go out on their terms, and after 11 years playing in the NFL, I am officially retiring from the league,' Pugh told the media at Giants training camp. The 34-year-old said he wanted to play one more season last year, but that he 'just didn't have it in the tank.' 'Started losing weight, started feeling good and didn't want to do a twelfth year,' Pugh said. 'Ended up going to the stands with the fans for my twelfth year.' 4 Justin Pugh announced his NFL retirement in July 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST The Giants selected Pugh 19th overall out of Syracuse in the 2013 NFL Draft. He played his first five NFL seasons for the team before signing a five-year deal with the Cardinals in 2018. 4 Justin Pugh was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. NEW YORK POST He spent the next five years in Arizona before returning to the Giants for his swan song in 2023. Upon re-joining the team in October 2023, Pugh became a viral sensation on 'Sunday Night Football' for his 'straight off the couch' introduction in an eventual loss to the Bills. 4 He re-joined the team during the 2023-24 season. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 4 Justin Pugh announces he is retiring from the NFL. @SNYGiants He appeared in 12 games in his final Giants season. 'Like every little boy, I always dreamed of playing in the NFL or some other sport … and I always mimicked that game-winning shot, or that game-winning catch,' Pugh said. 'I definitely never planned on making a block so Eli (Manning) could throw the ball down the field, or Kyler Murray. 'I don't think any little boys are out there right now being like, 'Oh, let me block in the playoffs and make something happen,' but what I realized was that offensive line was the position that was for me. 'Everyone wants to be that star position, but it's something that really defined me, as a man, as a father and as a teammate.' Pugh was a key pass blocker for Manning early in his career before blocking for the likes of Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito. 'To the fans, it's been an amazing ride,' Pugh said. 'Thank you for supporting me.'
