The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang are here, and although the Opening Ceremony doesn’t air until 8 PM ET on Friday, there have already been some mishaps.

The all-pro center gave the speech of all speeches rocking a sparkling green, purple and white sequins jacket with a matching headdress on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You don’t have to take our word for it. Check out the crazy speech yourself.

First he lead the crowd in a cheer, asking them if they loved their Eagles followed by praise for Eagle’s VP of football operations, Howie Roseman.

“I’m going to take a second to talk to you about underdogs.
