Dallas, TX — What was meant to be a festive and unifying Thanksgiving celebration hosted by quarterback Joe Milton III quickly spiraled into disaster when four Dallas Cowboys players were rushed to the hospital after suffering from sudden and severe food poisoning.
The private dinner, organized at a luxury estate near Frisco, featured catered dishes from across the country — but one controversial stuffing recipe became the center of a growing scandal.
According to early reports, suspicion has fallen on a chef’s assistant who is allegedly a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan. The assistant, whose identity has not yet been released, had only recently joined the catering team — and sources close to the Cowboys say several players noticed odd behavior during the event prep.
“He kept smirking when serving the dish… and had a green wristband under his uniform,” one player told reporters.
The NFL has confirmed it is opening an internal investigation, citing concerns over possible intentional misconduct given the bitter rivalry between the Cowboys and Eagles.
Social media detectives wasted no time digging up the assistant’s digital footprint — including an old post that read:
“If I ever get near a Cowboys table, you’ll remember me after dessert 💀🦅”
Joe Milton III issued a statement late Thursday night:
“I brought the team together to give thanks. What happened was heartbreaking. I’m just grateful the guys are okay, and I fully support the investigation.”
All four affected players are now in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery, though trust in team security has taken a serious hit.
Cowboys fans are furious. Eagles fans? Predictably, the memes have already begun:
“Fly Eagles Fly — right into your stuffing 💚🍽️”
“Thanksgiving Bowl: Eagles 4 – Cowboys 0 (hospitalized)”
Developing story… and developing tension in the NFC East.
