Sam Bradford has had some ACL issues. Surgeons have fixed it a couple of times, but that doesn’t mean he can’t use all the help he can get. With that in mind, a Change.org petition – with nearly 3,000 signatures – is asking that the Pope bless Sam Bradford’s knees when he’s in town. The Eagles will be playing the Jets when the Pope is in Philly, but there’s gotta be a decent radius on the Pope Blessing Zone, right? For the record, Bradford’s into it:

“I haven’t seen that. I was told about it before I talked to you guys. If I got to meet the Pope, I think that would be pretty cool. If he wanted to bless my knee, then I’m all for it.”

If the Pope is into it, why not? He’s already got an Eagles jersey. He probably put Tebow on the back of that one, though.
