CNN anchor Jake Tapper is a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, and he was at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday to watch the Eagles reach the Super Bowl to take on the Patriots.

While discussing the memorable trip to Philadelphia on Monday, Tapper didn’t hold back on how he feels about the Eagles’ Super Bowl opponent.

Tapper told fellow CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin that the New England Patriots are proven cheaters.

Tapper said:

“The Patriots are cheaters, Brooke. The Patriots cheat. This is just a fact as established by investigations. They’re a cheating team … The facts speak for themselves.”

Obviously, Tapper was referring to both the Spygate and Deflategate scandals (NFL scandals need more creative names). He also wanted to poke fun at colleague John Berman, who is a Patriots fan.

It just wasn’t the first NFL-related shot we’ve seen from a CNN anchor in the past two days.
