With the help of actor and native son Bradley Cooper, the Philadelphia Eagles have responded to the jab by a pair of New York Giants cornerbacks in a photo poking fun at the Eagles' lack of Super Bowl titles.

In case you missed it, earlier this week Big Blue's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (a former Eagles CB) and Prince Amukamara posed with "0" hand symbols behind a super fan wearing a "0" Eagles jersey with "Super Bowls" on the nameplate. It was pretty tame and the players backpedaled from it, with DRC pointing to the fact that he hadn't won one either, saying they were just trying to make a fan happy.

Anyhow, the Eagles (4-1) fired back at the Giants (3-2) as their big Sunday night showdown nears. The one-minute video is narrated by Cooper, who played an  Eagles fanatic in the movie "Sliver Linings Playbook."

The back-and-forth has since escalated. Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said of the Eagles, "They could have easily been 0-4." Pierre-Paul added. "Their games were that close. You know it, too! I watch TV. You watch TV, too. The games were close. I feel like we shouldn't go out there and make it a close game.''
