BLUE BELL, Pa. -- An 11-year-old Eagles fan from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, has become a social media sensation after a video of his passionate reaction to the team's wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers spread widely online with millions of views.
The clip shows Sam Salvo expressing frustration after Sunday night's game.
"I want A.J. Brown packing his bags and going somewhere else that is not here," he says in the video.
He adds, "I want Kevin Patullo flipping burgers at the local McDonald's or something. Whenever he's an offensive coordinator, it's like he's flipping burgers. One side, he's cooking. The other half, he's completely raw."
Salvo said the Eagles' loss was disappointing, but the attention that followed has been exciting.
"This is a dream come true. I never thought this would happen," he said.
Known to his family as "Slammin' Sam," Salvo describes himself as a devoted Eagles fan.
"This is my room, guys. I have my football jerseys over here," he said while showing off his collection. He added that his love for the team goes back years.
"Well, since I was a tiny boy. I was so small when I first started watching the Eagles. I love the Eagles so much," he said.
Despite the defeat, Salvo said he walked away with a memorable message.
"I heard something at the game that really made me think about my life: 'Win or lose, we're the bleeping Birds baby.'"

LOL — a TRUE fan!
Our long Philadelphia nightmare is over! I Patullo gone. Jalen a little bit on the hot seat.
AJ Brown needs to be traded for a keg of beer and a 9th round draft pick.
I admit to being impressed at the kid’s gift of gab for an 11 year old. Heh, he only sounded relatively eloquent because he isn’t old enough yet to legally be trashed enough on beer to slow him down!
Little kid is a fat loud mouth.
No doubt a descendant of an Eagles fan who booed Santa Claus in that game decades ago!
If Patullo’s burgers are raw on one side, I don’t EVEN want him flipping burgers . . . just marginally better than Chuck Schumer.
Santa was drunk
Yep.
Doesn’t that describe most NFL fans?

It’s got its own Wikipedia page!
Hurts sucks, he was along for the ride last year.....top defense and a historic season from Barkley...... OC is just a scapegoat for a pathetic QB.....blow it up
Professional Jocks. Grown men being paid more money in one season to chase a ball around than you’ll probably make in your entire life.
Wise up, kid.
