Episode Date: January 31, 2023

Philadelphia Eagles CB Darius Slay recaps the Eagles' win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship. Slay shares how the Eagles felt about George Kittle's "Good on paper" comments and why it made them extra-motivated. Slay discusses what it was like facing the 49ers and their number one ranked defense, plus their injured QBs, and what it was like to walk out with Lil Uzi Vert. Slay tells us about being on the Eagles' sideline when DeVonta Smith made the important 4th down catch and whether Kyle Shanahan should have known to throw the flag so quickly. Finally, Slay looks ahead to his Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs and future Hall of Famer, Patrick Mahomes. #volume #herdSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to the Cliford Show on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast, And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.

The volume. What's up, everybody's your boy. As you know, Super Bowl Brown for the first time. Come on, man. It's been a great-ass year for me. I'm not lying. First time getting past the first round. First time winning the first playoff game.

First time going to, man, look here. I got nothing but love for you, Philly. I love you. I appreciate it. Thank you for the trade. Detroit. Detroit. I love y'all, Detroit, but thank y'all for the trade.

It took me 10 years to get here. 10. You know, hard that shit is? Oh, my goodness. I try to hold my tears back all through the field. I never been an NFC champion. None of this. I was trying to run around the field.

I had the flag going around. So the secret was, for me not to cry, I had to run around because it was so cold to make it look like I was like, cold, you know, state of crying, but I was really low-key crying. Just had a man up a little bit. Just in case they catch me on TV, I got kids at home. I can't never see me crying.

But, oh my goodness. I'm just feeling good right now, man. I'm just feeling good right now, man. I'm just feeling blessed. Feel amazing, man. I'm still going. I don't know when this rush go in, but it probably settled in when I get to practicing. But we've been off for about two days now, for going to be two days.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm up. I'm up all the way up. So, man, let's talk about the week, man. Lean up to the NFC. championship game. You know, as we realize, you know, we realized we played that night, bam, and we got the dub.

So we know we're advancing. So we knew we were playing San France. You know, we do pay attention to the media, man. We do. We all do. It's just a football thing, man. So we always got to look at the media. The media coming out of our locker room.

We just do our thing. We were showing our respect, you know, to San France. You know, we got to show respect because respect this dude. There's a great team, great defense, great offense, great head coach. Got a lot of great things. going over there. But what triggered us as a team and as a defense, you know, I got a lot of respect for George Killer. I got a lot of respect. I think he one of the best tight ends in the league. He does all the dirty word. He does the blocking, man. You can see he having a lot of fun

out there, man. I always like to watch his game, man, because he played his game the right way. but when he said that we look good on paper in the football world, we know how to take that. That basically is saying not too physical. You know, that's tough. We look talented on paper, but are we going to put the paper to the field?

You know, so as a defense, well, it's been one of the best defense in the league as well, we took that as kind of disrespect, you know, because we didn't say they look good on paper. We say they're a great defense. They're a great team. You know, we're trying to show our respect. That's richest respect is due.

But him saying that triggered a lot of guys in the locker room, including myself. You know, even though I stayed a lot of respect for the guy. But it triggered us to go out here and play a lot harder to show who's physical. So as you've seen, the game was going on, you see who's been the most physical team. I keep seeing this stuff across the media saying, oh, this guy that had been playing, that guy has been playing. They was playing. We just took them out. You know, we don't want no injuries.

I don't like injuries in the game, but that shows a lot of physicality. You're smacking two quarterbacks out the game. You know, I'm praying for definitely Johnson because I played with him in Detroit before, man. I saw he had a severe concussion. I ain't know what it was. I just thought he had messed up with somebody. He was in concussion protocol. That is not a good thing to be in.

But, yeah, we come out here and we hit. We play physical, man. We attack. We fast. We do it all on the defense side of the ball. And our offense does the same thing. I think that's what coach was trying to do, send a message. You know, y'all knew we knew.

We knew y'all was a physical team. We're going to show you how physical we was. That's why we ran the ball for tubs, you know, handed it off at any given time. You know, they got one of the best defenses for sure, man. I got a lot of respect for them, but that pushed our button, and you know, and we had to answer that. And, you know, we should have to show who's the best team in the NFC. Now fast forward to game day, you know, a great Sunday.

I was too ready, too excited. I bet I mean, I got great sleep, but I woke up pretty early, man, even though the game was at 3 o'clock. game is kind of weird over here, you know, so I even know what time to really kind of get up and get active. So I woke around a little earlier. I woke around about 9, 30, and I just got myself going, man, watch a little bit more film to get myself going. So to start the day off, you got to have the fresh fit. You got to come in there fresh. So with me coming in there fresh, I got to feel good, got to play good. So I even had to bring out the old school. One from, we call them donks. You know, they call it a little,

it's a 72 Chevy Caprice. One of my babies, it's one of my favorite cars. You know what I'm saying? So I had to pull up in that thing, smooth. You know what I said? I ain't dropped the top because it's too cold. But it's a drop top. So I had a old smooth in there, man, get my mind right, got my music playing. You know, so I had to be fresh. I felt the, I just felt good. You know what I'm saying?

That's how I get myself going. I got to look good, came in the game good. The entry was good. I was feeling good, man. Then I got to get the warming up, playing around, joking around. Got my stretch going, man. It was amazing feeling, man. I knew what time it was when I walked into that stadium, man.

walked out, getting my warm up on, I knew what time was time to go. It was time to go, man. And just seeing all the stars around, I don't know, I've seen everything going. I've seen the little setup for the Sunday Day football game, all the little Fox TV stuff on the side. I said, man, this is what the NFC championship feel like. I'm talking about I ain't never seen so much media at the game. Like, they had like a media huddle.

Like, they had a whole huddle on the side. I'm like, what's going on? Like, this is wow. So I'm like, this is it. So with me playing the game, I'm always nervous. But nervous is like a good way. Not nervous, like, scared to play the game. I'm just nervous.

Like, I never been here before. So I'm like, heart racing. Mout just getting dry for no point of reason. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. I'm drinking Gatorade and I'm not even tired. I'm just trying to stay hydrated. I'm like, I don't know how I'm not hydrated. But I drank a lot of water and Gatorade.

And I'm just like, dang, mouth dry. So that's already telling me right now. I'm just nervous and excited. I'm ready to go. We had one special. guess coming to the locker room i've been here to eagles three years and it's the first time i saw a guy coming to a locker room man we know i had a lot of stars come to this stadium and he's one of philly's favorite man shout out to little uzi vert man came out there he's really little

he's really little man it's like i'm thought he's looking i'm saying i knew he was little bit short guy but buddy is short man but man he's a chill dude man you can tell him man he's very mellow he He here. He ain't here, he here. He just mellow. And man, he came out to one of them little songs, man. I just want to rock. My son loved doing that dance. I don't learn how to do it, man. I don't know if y'all saw Kelps and Miles do it, but Kelks came behind him and killed him. Kelts got great hips. I'm trying to tell y'all, great heels. I'm talking about you got to got to see it. You got to see it. My boy Kelps was going crazy, man. But shout out to a little Uzi Bert, man, coming out there running out there with us, man. I know that thing was

crazy, man. But I know he been seeing that normally. because when he come out on the stage, he'd see 80,000 fans. But it's probably a different feeling with him, man. You know, with football. You know, football are different. You know what I'm saying? So, but Philly loves you, man. We love you, man.

We appreciate you showing love to us. So going into this game, man, we was very, very, very confident. Like, we, we were very confident. Like, we knew what we could do. We knew we matched up pretty well with them with the physicality and then the skill position and the O line and the D line and their D line and our O line. Like the trenches, all that kind of like matched together. They got great edge rushers.

We got great edge rushes. So it was all together. But what separated us from a lot of stuff, we watched the Cowboys game. The Cowboys game really set the tone to how to play this team. The Cowboys did a great job at stopping the run and making the quarterback be a third and seven, third and six plus round that range and make him be a dropback quarterback. So we understood that. So our game plan was like, hey, let's get them in a third and long run. situation so our pass rush can go eat because

Dallas got, you know, one for sure elite pass rusher. You know, then they got Lawrence to come off the edge too as well. He's a great pass rusher as well. But the Philadelphia Eagles, we got seven elite pass rushers. So we knew we'll get a lot of more one-on-one opportunities than Cowboys got.

So as the games get started, I really wanted to go out there first. My opinion. I want to go out there first, set the tone for the defense, get the crowd going, get them going early because the Philly fans are very, very big deal here, man. They do a lot of damage. But offense went up first and went down there, scored. I'm talking about it. I'm like, yeah, big boy stuff. One of the best defense in league, arguably the best defense league. You know what I'm saying? They was ranked in number one of the things. So they're the best overall defense. Got to give it to them. They played a hell over a year. One of the best defense I've been seen around. They're real great defense. But we watched down there and scored. You know, Hurst is making plays. AJ's making plays a little catch on with the, come on now. That catch was big time. That 38 on all our blitz, Hertz, running back, through it.

AJ, like, finger grabbed it, bam. Got sticky, slow Batman doing what small Batman do. You know what I'm saying, though. But the critical play of this whole game, my opinion, was when we went for it, on fourth thing, I think it was, what, four? with the Smitty catch you know I ain't know it was a catch

not until you know I got to woke up this morning and saw all the media that it was not a catch but that's heads up from Smitty being a smart

and advanced player because we go over that we go over that I'm talking about we do that every day every time we watch like reviews you watch you watch tape

so I head coach do a great job of just film studying and just learning from people other teams mistakes not you know so he did a great job

You see they hurry up to the offense, hurry to the line of scurries, guys sprint down there, get the playoff before they can get the challenge off. That's a big difference in the game right there. Because pitch it up, turning the ball over and having a little momentum at the fifth yard line. And, you know, I'm trying to get it going. But no, it didn't happen that way. If I was in that situation, being that I saw a guy giving signals and hurry up, rushing to the ball, of course my antennas go up.

It goes up as in like, oh, what just happened? Da-da-da-da-da. But that's why I say is the big difference. at being at home because if that would happen at San Frans, they would have put it on the Jumbo Trine

and we would have saw that being a no catch before it even happened but see as in being that as a home game it was not on the Jumbo Trine so he couldn't get the real cure reaction of just like look up and like see the Jumbo Trine

because that's almost like a challenge itself because if you at home you make a big play and it's a suspect name the stadium no not to put it up there but if you had

a way game and you do that, they're going to keep the play rolling just to see, to get a clear view of the head coach saying that if it's a catch or not a catch, and then you get a challenge flag easy. So that's a simple about the little parts of the detail of the game that's so tricky about having a home field advantage.

That's why it was so important for us to have home field advantage all through the playoffs. But me, if that happened and it happened at home for us, I guarantee you that we would have got to be able to see the replay on the Jumbo Trine. that instant, like fast.

And then coach probably been through the flag out before it even happened. But since San Fran was at, you know, away, they didn't get that privilege. So that was a big game changer. And you see it on our coach, when he saw the fumble that we caused, flag came out instant. You know what I'm saying? So coaches got to learn for the mistakes, and that's what they got to do. That's what coming in with a great head coach, man. Maybe about two great head coaches.

One made a mistake right then, another one didn't. Because that could have been, what, third. That's going to be like a third and something for us. They had another trying to get the first, but nope. For a spummer, we got the ball with a clear recovery, because if we did not clear recovery the ball, we would never get the ball back. But Big LJ, Mr. 12 years in,

smart enough to know to go grab the ball, full recovery, let them know we got it, and we get the ball to offense. So that was the big difference in between the game, and that was both first drives. So that was major, man. That was major. That's a big difference in the game, and that's what made the game shift momentum to our,

side and stayed on our side for the whole entire game. So what's going on is everybody keep talking about the third and fourth street quarterback every play. But what I saw from them guys, man, they, they, they wasn't complaining when Purdy was seven and oh. And we're hearing about that. Purdy this, purdy that. He was playing lights out, man, and doing what the team need to be done.

But we saw the game. Y'all saw the game. If Purdy was staying in the game, it's, it probably, I don't know what it was. It's probably, it's probably still be the same result. in my eyes just because the fact that y'all saw the first drop-back situation they had to get in and it was a sack strip sat like that was going to be all night you know that was to be all night and the run game well they run game was still pretty good but you still have to be in some time being a drop-back situation and that's what was going to happen you know what I'm saying no no offense

to them guys but we knew we had guys that could really go out there and hunt and we knew what we was capable of doing. Now you bring in Johnson. Same situation. We got him in a drop-back situation. Y'all could have still ran the ball and made conserved it, but no, we still forced them into a drop-back situation when we did, bam, sack after sack after sack. Like, I'm talking about we just heard Purdy. They come out league arguably the best defensive player in the league unblocked. sat and he actually, I think that was another dang strip sat because he took the ball from the quarterback when he rolled over.

So I don't think of the results would have changed too much. You know what I'm saying? Just because the fact that we get out to the quarterback, we get off to the quarterback. We do that, and we're the number one past defense. Now, if they got good, if they were to drew up a good run game

and kept running it and been going crazy and Chris McHathor and made big plays, then, hey, tip your hat off to it. That's the only thing could be the change in the game. But the passing game situation was going to get out of hand. because them guys were going to hunting. It was clearly shown.

We was going to get back there. And I was surprised to see the defense, like as in the number one defense, play as they play because they were still playing pretty solid to me. I'm not going to sit here and a lot because I'm a big defense guy. I love defense. I show respect to defense with them with the third quarterback and the fourth stream quarterback coming in. They still made a chance to, like, you know, keep them guys' game.

But as a defense, being on the field that long, it's tough. We control the clock. We kept getting fast three and outs to put the defense back on the field so we can, you know, do what we need to do. But I got to get respect when respect is due. They had a lot of backed up situations. It was not a game that they had a long drive. So it was a very good combination game right now.

But they defense is pretty solid. I'm not going to lie and sit here and just say, oh, we just, they defense pretty good. Got to show a lot of respect to them guys. But we got the job done. We're running the ball. You know, we ain't throw the ball enough as we needed to because we probably could have ran the ball pretty well.

We ran it pretty well. Like, I don't think a guy had over 100 yards rushing on him in a minute, but I got to just give respect, man. That's a great defense, man. And watching Bosa, one of the best plays I saw him make man last night was the read option, almost was a safety. Like, he was crazy. Like, he read the action, stopped the run from handing him off.

And then Jalen pulled it, beat the pulling guy, and almost had a safety. Like, I'm like, okay, I can understand why this man is in the defensive category as a man one of the best defensive player in the world right now. Because that was crazy. That's a big time play. To stop the zone read with a running quarterback, that's big time. And Hertz has been running that thing.

So you got to give respect, respect this dude. But we had to get out to another man to be the game. We knew their defense is going to be very tough and very physical. But them guys got it done, man. And we were scoring as we needed to. and the defense on our side we helped them with offense getting in great situations as well but I got handed to our office

man for really let them know that their physical offense man and be able to run the ball throw the ball and attack in all areas so shout out to the offense man really for getting out getting on the boys though but man shout out to them defense too that was a great thing to see from the sideline man two offenses two or one of the best offense one of the best defense go head on hand man that's a good watch

for me for me I love that type of game man I stood up the whole game and watched them boys get that So as y'all see, the score was brought about 21 to 7. So now the game pan is switched for the offense. Because the Cowell Shannahan offense is not made for really, I am not going to say not really made to be coming behind. But they're not really a drop-back team. They really broke on the one game.

So what our offense did was control the clock and manage the clock. Just like the same thing though, commanders did us when we got our first loss. They ran the ball, made sure our offense couldn't get the ball back because it was explosive, you know, because they can score at any given time. So that take a toll on the defense when you'd be able to run the ball because we've been in that situation as well.

So it's tough to, you know, get off the field like that and consistently and then definitely when your office kept having three and outs, it's tough for the defense, man. And that's hard, you know. That's a lot, that's 600 pounds on a guy, and that's a wearing terror. So a big salute to them big guys up front, man. The D-line, both D-lines and the O-Liaming

to be able to just smack each other so much and you're having 600 pounds, you got to put 600 pounds off you. That's a tough job to do. And that's take a toll on your body and get you tired, you wear you down. So now your backups got to come in and all that kind of come in.

So that's the thing about us having a great D-Line. Because once Fletch and Hard Gray get tired, we got Sue coming in. We got George Davis coming in. You know, we got guys coming in. You know what I'm saying? And it keeps your body fresh. And that's one thing we knew our D-line had

over there D-Lines is that we had a lot of guys that fresh. You know, we got Milton coming in to as well. Young guy that's really learning a lot from Sudham. So that's the big difference in the game. The trenches was the big difference. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.

Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

I know what y'all be waiting for to hear how I played. I should have had a pick, but I was driving my man and yeah, it was kind of wow. I do all you all I try to go back there. I try to run backwards, but I'm like, oh, I can't do this. And I ain't want to turn my head because I ain't want to lose the ball. Because honest, I ain't know where the ball was at. I was throwing a straight to him, but I saw that got, like, tipped up in the air. I went crazy like what.

But let me tell you all one thing. That boy Debo Sanders, that's a big dude. You know, I don't see him in person before. We don't hung out before. You know, he's a cool friend of mine. You know, I know him personally. But to actually, like, trying to tackle him, that man is a monster. You know what I'm saying?

He ran a slant on me. I thought I'd tackle him, right? I barely had half of his leg. He's like, he got one leg, like two of my legs. You know what I'm saying? Big dude. Big dude. So I'm like, dang.

So I had to make sure I got to get my mind right. Got to take the proper angles on him because guy is elusive and he can really break through tackles, man. Real good, real good. But I got to give the biggest shout out to Kristen McAfron, man. I'm not going to lie, man. I know Detroit is going to be mad at me. It's okay, Detroit.

I still love y'all. But he is the closest thing I don't seem to Barry Sanders. I'm not lying. The dude got balanced. Got vision, and if he wasn't hurt as much as he was in his career, he'll be light years away from guys at the running back position. I'm being honest. I'm just being serious. Out the back field, catching, he's the best third down back in the league.

His running after contact is crazy. His moves. Like, his touchdown. Okay, Marcus Epps going there. Try to cut him. He jumps over him. So with me coming up, I'll be. I thought he didn't see me.

So I was just trying to go tackle his legs. Man, he saw me. He saw me clean and gave me that, wha-ha. I'm talking about I shook the mess out of me. I'm like, what? And then bounced off two tackles, tug.

I got to get my hats off to him, man. I had one of the best plays I've seen happen. And definitely with me involved in it. Because he shook me. I'm like, my goodness. I had to give him his props. I had to turn him out the game. I like, look here, you're one of the best backs in the league.

you're magnificent. Like, you're really magnificent. That man is really a dog, and he can really do it all, man. I got to tap my, I got to tap my hollow to him. Like, big time dude, man. He arguably the best running back in the league right now.

And if he stayed healthy along his career, he'll be a Hall of Famer, no doubt, man. Because he, in definitely that offense, he's going to be very, very special. Like, very, very special, man. So shout out to Kristen McCatherer, man. You're a dog. You're a dog.

man. You know, you're the new Barry for us right now in this generation because that what Barry used to do. Shake everybody, go crazy. Yeah, and do it all. But you, you that guy. So the game is over, man. And your boy is heading to the Super Bowl, man. I was running around the stadium going crazy, man.

Got my family that came on, man, my wife, my mom, my cousins, all my friends that came down. Man, we had so much fun on the field, man. And watching the confetti fall for a minute, man, on the field, man. Y'all fans are wild, man. Y'all stayed the whole time. Y'all ain't leave, man.

Still had over at least 60,000 people in there feel like, oh my goodness. I'm talking about y'all stayed the whole time for the ceremony, you know, to hear Hertz talk, man, because he said a big thing in the message, man. By all y'all being a great fan base, man. Really, y'all be helping us out, man. Y'all make home games crazy.

And y'all travel well, man. So I know we go see y'all in AZ deep up. I know it. Because y'all was there when we play AZ. this year and we outweighed their band so I know what's going on so it's gonna be fun man but I had experience of a great time

man I was running around with the flag all around the field I got tired because I understand what y'all people that we're running with that flag on the field and that's heavy duty man that's why I think my goddamn shoulder a little sore right goddamn now

because running with that thing like that's pretty heavy and the wind was blowing like crazy so I understand what y'all going through right now boy that thing that heavy but I had a great time man just, man, experiencing something I never experienced before, man. My 10 years are playing ball, man. Some guys don't make it to the playoffs, man.

I'm going to the Super Bowl. And Jesus, boy, that day didn't feel good, man. I won't shed tears all across the field all day. Like, I was just, I was supposed to go on the stage with the guys, but I don't even want to get on the stage, man. I just want to enjoy that with the fans. I was running around slapping all the fan hands because it's y'all too, man. We all just sitting together, man, and y'all did a great thing for us, man.

We, to have a home playoff game through the whole playoffs, it was amazing, man. It was a good thing for us, man. And we appreciate y'all much, much love, man. Y'all are the best fans in the world. Shout out to y'all, man. As we get ready to head into the locker room where the real party began, I still had all my paths on. Some people was already in there before I even got in there. They all's already a shower that got dressed and whatnot, smoking cigars and all type of stuff.

I don't smoke cigars and that kind of stuff. So I came in there. Of course, I got to go live. with my fans you know what I'm saying and this time last last week when my first pro went I think I had like 6k in there this time I almost had like 10k first time ever I'm like boy they must love some slay today oh my goodness I had like 10,000 viewers and that thing I was going crazy I walked around to everybody my bad again y'all if I caught y'all in your towels but hey gotta get dressed faster but we're going there

turn it up going crazy I'm walk around there listen to all the music I'm catching everybody with their cigars and man, come on, man. It's a dream come true. How you can not be excited? And, you know, man, we just having a moment, man, then we gave a little speech, you know, Hertz came in. I gave a little great speech, man, as in just like, hey, man, the job not finished, which is not.

And he also reminded us, hey, man, let's enjoy this, though. Let's enjoy this, man, because this is hard to come by. When you're putting in so much work during the week, doing the, the month. The months, the all season, training camps, all the beans, all everything going to, man. And you go down to this one game right now that's coming up in two weeks, man. And it means a lot to you. Definitely what you do with guys that's in the room that you love, your brotherhood,

because we preach family a lot. And so as a team, man, we all just sit there and said, let's just enjoy this moment because we quit to go to the next game because, you know, you got to go to the next one. But this is major, you know what I'm saying? With the job not finish, of course, but we go for sure. enjoy this man as a group and we're looking forward to hearing to zay z so after our game ended of course i had to go watch to see who we'd be playing in the soup bowl very very tight game man joe borough patrick mahones this leads in a good hand with these two quarterbacks for sure man

they didn't want the best they're two of the best in the business i'm just in here just like admiring the game myring the talent they can have watching mahons go out there and with one ankle like dude's amazing man you got to get a command of the business you got to get a command of I got to give a shout out to this man. This shout out. This man has been amazing, man. And I ain't a lot to y'all. He probably the most disrespected team over there.

Y'all disrespect that man so much because I ain't never seen a guy who's been to maybe, what, three AFC championships out of the last five years or four. Maybe I don't know. And don't want him. You know, he lost the first one, I think, to Joe, you know, last year. But, and don't want him. And I don't understand how he gets disrespectful. much as in like him being an underdog

at home, Super Bowl champ, MVP of this league. So he got to be the most disrespectful dude I know right now because that's wild to me. I don't know how they do that. But hey, that's the media world. But he ain't disrespecting in the NFL world

because we got a highly respect for him because the man is a magician, you know. He for sure, him and Hurts are for sure the favor of the win the MVP. But you got to give your hat off to him, man. Doing that on one leg, making it happen, man. Him and kill.

else, one of the best combinations of do with your mind you of Tom Brady and Grump, but with more athletic ability and more swagger a little bit because them were those guys were just old-fashioned, but these guys are just a new fashion right now. So yeah, man, top of that, man, great game, man. We're looking forward to playing them, man. High-powered offense, man, arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the league. And I don't play my homes twice. I lost both.

We're playing in Detroit. He throws the ball to Kels. They Keltz thoughts that bang back to Shady McCoy. Shady McCoy get free with the one hand, with the sticky one glove. Like, that's what the type of plays they made. As you saw in the game this past week, first quarter,

Keltz catch the ball, lateral pitch to McGinnett. It wasn't successful, but to have that in their arsenal, have that to be able to do that, coach got to trust them a lot, and they're just both playmakers, man. And the last time I played them was at an ego game, and, you know, shoot,

we've sent an all-out blitz to him, and he backed up probably 10 yards and still threw it like 40 yards in the air to the back of the end zone to doggone the fastest guy in the league cheetah and you know he caught that thing like crazy like so you know he's just amazing man he's just a magician out there man and like i said man he's one of the best in the business he's going to be a best in the world he's for sure it's a hall of fame already got a great resume you know so it's going to be fun man i'm looking forward to it i know everybody go be excited to watch us compete sunday I am too. I'm not going to lie. But I also excited to see Rihanna at halftime. I don't know if it's possible for us to come out at halftime to check Rihanna out and do her performance because I know that's going to be crazy.

But I know I got to get, I know fans, Eagle fans, please don't be mad at me. I know I got going to get game plans and understanding and, you know, get the game right, get the flow right, the halftime adjustments. But if you want to see Rihri, Rihanna, perform, I got free access to that. Now I got to pay for her

Why not? You know, but you know what I'm saying? I'm playing for Eagles fan. I'm playing. I'm lying. I'm going to be locked in. I'm locked in. But, man,
