Eagles QB Nick Foles was named Super Bowl LII's MVP.

BOSTON (The News Journal) — A zoo in Massachusetts made a Super Bowl bet it may now regret.

Boasting that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), and perhaps overconfident about the results of Super Bowl LII, Zoo New England made this challenge to the Philadelphia Zoo: If the Patriots won, the Philadelphia Zoo would have to name the next goat to be born "Brady." If the Eagles won, Zoo New England would name its next goat "Foles," it said in a press release.

Well, the big day has now arrived, and Zoo New England had to tweet out a welcome to little Foles, the Nigerian dwarf goat, born at the Franklin Park Zoo.

We're sure Foles will be a big hit in New England, and congratulate the residents of Massachusetts on their good luck in getting the honor of a goat with such a prestigious name.
