Super Bowl Food — Blog - Show Notes

Pulled pork, homemade queso, pull some prop bets and talk about which Tom Brady stat is the most impressive

Synergies here with Brady’s first Super Bowl appearance against the Rams in Super Bowl 36. First the Bucs suffered their 5th loss of the season to the Chiefs and haven’t lost since. The same exact thing happened to Patriots in back in 2001… they lost their 5th game of season to Rams and then didn’t lose a game again.

The Patriots and the Buccaneers would then go on to face the Rams and Chiefs in the Super Bowl — The “Rams were the greatest show on turf” and the Chiefs are essentially the scariest offense we’ve seen in a long time.

Nice. Actually a good place for me to attempt to equate an Andy Reid /Eagles fans take into the mix

DOB. Help me w a half-baked theory here:

Last year when Andy Reid won SB with KC, Eagles fans were generally

1) happy for him

2) not happy for him

3) it’s wasn’t even a big enough deal to have an opinion on?

1) happy for him. Definitely. He was the best coach in our history to that point but ended poorly with a 3 win season and lots of bad signings, and replacing coaches who were hired away (promoting his offensive line coach to defensive coordinator???) his son also died of an OD while they were all in training camp at Lehigh in one of the last years. He was here for something like 14 seasons and had great success overall but it was one of those unique situations where both sides agreed it had run its course.

Nobody is upset with Andy Reid or the decision to fire him 8 years ago. There’s a contingent of zealots who are not able to root for a different team and think eagles fans who do are traitors- but there is no significant group of eagles fans actively rooting against him.

Also if KC wins ... Reid retires and Eric B gets HC job
