Born in Maryland, New York Knicks guard Josh Hart hasn’t been shy about his Commanders fandom, often posting about it on X. He took it to another level on Sunday as Washington played the favorite team of his Knicks teammates — Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Hart made his feelings known over an hour before kick-off, expressing that he, Brunson and Towns weren’t friends or teammates today. Instead, they were “just coworkers.” Towns responded with a pointed emoji choice.

We aren’t friends nor teammates today. We are just coworkers. I don’t like yall, yall don’t like me @jalenbrunson1 @KarlTowns

As the Eagles built a 21-7 lead in the first half, Hart seemed to excuse himself. He shared a popular meme featuring Winslow, the cartoon mouse from Nickelodeon’s “CatDog,” dramatically opening a door and making an exit.

Less than 20 minutes later, Brunson gave his friend a ring, but Hart didn’t want to talk. He told his Villanova Wildcats teammate to stop calling.

But, the Commanders kept crawling back, taking a one-point lead with 9:06 remaining in the game. That prompted Hart to post the opposite version of the meme — this time opening the door to make an entrance

Of course, it was short lived as Philadelphia nailed two field goals to go back ahead.

With less than two minutes left, quarterback Jayden Daniels led Washington down the field. He capped it off with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder with six seconds remaining, sending Hart on a posting spree.

He returned the mouse meme, tagging Hart and Towns, before spelling out “E-A-G-L-E-S SUCK!” and posting a screenshot of him trying to call his teammates. Hart also made sure to praise his favorite team’s quarterback.
