Drew Pearson Publicly Trolls Eagles Fans During Draft

Fanning the flames of a sports rivalry is always fun.

Clearly, Drew Pearson understands this concept.

The legendary Dallas wide receiver and apparent football provocateur announced the Cowboys late second-round pick at the 2017 NFL Draft on Fri 28 Apr.

While he did successfully announce the pick, he also managed to viciously troll Eagles fans in the process.

Now, that is good television.

Of course, a room full of Eagles faithful already foaming at the mouth makes for a fairly easy target, but Pearson executes this public burn flawlessly.

He even summoned the name of Jerry Jones, which seemed to provoke the loudest reaction.

Predictably, the Internet hordes were pleased.

Drew Pearson might as well have thrown a cheesesteak down onto the stage and stomped on it a few times. — Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) April 29, 2017 Drew Pearson's police escort has just arrived to help him leave the building. That was amazing!! — Chris Rose (@ChrisRose) April 29, 2017 Drew Pearson just made the greatest pick selection preamble in modern NFL history. — Sam Farmer (@LATimesfarmer) April 29, 2017

Perhaps this was sweet revenge on Carson Wentz and his treatment of a Cowboys fan earlier in the draft.

Whatever the motivation, the Cowboys have clearly won this particular battle in this entertaining rivalry.

But the war rages on.

In the meantime, how 'bout that Drew Pearson?

His hair still barely moved.
