Sometimes our childhood dream jobs are harder to get than we think; for example, when I was a kid I wanted to be a cowboy. Sure, I love wearing the occasional cowboy boot nowadays but looking back that was kind of a silly dream.

Last night, one Jersey Shore native got to live out their dream, and it's a fantasy I'd imagine a lot of us have had throughout our lives.

The Eagles destroyed the Chiefs during the Big Game. Eagles defense had 6 sacks on Mahomes, and 2 huge interceptions, and since my wife is a massive Eagles fan, needless to say, there was a party at our house.

What was really cool though was during the last two and a half minutes of the game, the Eagles put in some backups, and that included one Jersey Shore Native; Kenny Pickett.

If you're not familiar with Pickett's career he was drafted by the Steelers in 2022 and played two seasons with them before being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, He became a household name for Eagles Fans after he won 4 out of the 5 games he started while Jalen Hurts was out with an injury.

And during the Big Game last night, Pickett got to play the final few minutes of the game with 7 snaps, and an attempted pass.

Although the Ocean Township native only played for a few short minutes, it still must be an amazing feeling being able to live out your dream of playing in one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.
