Like the fierce rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, another ferocious age-old rivalry exists in the National Football League. Playing against each other for over half a century, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys are the intense rivals in the entire league. And Trout, being a forever Eagles fans, jumps at the chance of watching their games. 

While in the Angels’ dugout with Trout, Fowler recounted a hilarious experience of watching a game with him between the Cowboys and the Eagles. Naturally, Mike was rooting for the Eagles. But as it happened, at the moment, Dexter was the only one in the box rooting for the Cowboys.

Thus, when the outlier Fowler called Trout and asked how he liked the game, Mike said, “It’s good, man, we kicking the Cowboys’ butt.” As Dexter reminisced about those words, a radiant smile lit up Trout’s face, both of them cherishing the memory of that iconic moment.
