Sam Bradford “all for” Pope Francis blessing his knee

Pope Francis will be visiting Philadelphia in late September as part of his visit to the United States and Eagles fans have made a request of the pontiff ahead of his visit.

Bradford has suffered torn ACLs in each of the last two years while playing for the Rams and the fans are looking for a little intervention to help make sure that it doesn’t happen again. A petition on Change.org asks for signers to join in the effort to get the Pope “to bless Bradford’s knees during his visit to Philly.”

More than 2,500 people have signed on and Bradford sounds like he’s willing to put his name on it as well.
