and we are happy to be here at the belmont media center where for nearly twenty five years we have been belmont's first and only live all sports talk show i'm todd lonely hours it is wednesday january thirty first two thousand and eighteen our first show of the new year we're going to be  for the next ninety minutes not sixty but where we're going over time because once again the patriots are in the super bowl for the ninth time in the robert kraft patriots ownership era and also the ninth time in the show because as i mentioned before robert kraft purchased the patriots four days before we recorded our first time out program which actually was a super bowl preview dallas buffalo super bowl twenty eight i was actually the second dallas buffalo to play the year before too  but so here we are we're happy to be with you again and give us a call if you want in the next ninety minutes we do have a couple of guests lined up but time to take your phone calls as well the number six one seven four eight four two four four three if you're watching us live here on january thirty first tries to spit it out oh oh you're right can someone go in and fix that please i thought i did fix that i put it in the other spot but not the first spot my bad it is january thirty first you can see the twitter hash tag at the end that is periodically throughout the ninety minutes we're here we're going to be talking in just a few moments to christopher price who was on our super bowl show last year he is in minneapolis he writes the boston sports journal and will get his take on sunday patriots eagles matchup second time around and second time around will also be the theme with our our guest from philadelphia we'll be talking to joe carpet nella and if you're watching our show thirteen years ago when pat's an eagles played in the super bowl you might wow unbelievable can you believe i mean the tenth all time for the patriots and nine in the craftier in one thousand the all the years we've been doing the show you were you were on the very first one thousand nine hundred ninety seven pats and packers a super bowl thirty one we can't forget what i want to forget that one and we're always happy to have you here fill in in our third chair once again glad to be here how you guys doing awesome excellence favorite show where the year over to you know right before the super bowl you know i mean this little more like christmas least for a sporting events than that actually christmas itself you know with this is it's a true holiday for any for any fan and like i said it i still find it amazing the you know the symmetry how we're all patriots fans we're all connected to these super bowls and the fact that you know the you know i recorded the first show time out the same week that bob kraft bought the patriots i mean it's just it was just meant to be it's kind of a kid's thing that comma there and by the way one of the panelists on that very first show a mutual friend full it was back at the high school studio of course but yeah we've been we it's been an embarrassment of riches regarding the knowing the patriots because as you can see by this i created a whole bunch of different graphics for this program there you can go by the way thank you for fixing it is january thirty first so i said see that i mean these i mean this is the tenth super bowl for the patrons but we only put up the logos for the winning super bowls of which there been five and of course of the patriots are to win a six super bowl against the eagles on sunday they'll love the pittsburgh steelers for most super bowls all time now again when we started you know doing the show two decades ago i just never would have imagined that the patriots ever be in this position you know that we root for we've been very lucky as sports fans i mean in all sports i mean not just football but you know just all the sports that we get to see because we get to see when it is we get the big games you know whether it be super bowls world series stanley cups i mean a lot of places a lucky if they see that once or twice in a lifetime i mean great it back years ago we never thought we would see anything like this because we were always the lovable losers at the end but now it's like that it's almost embarrassing yeah you know and i'm not sure how lovable we were but  super bowls got to be right up there maybe number one i mean you know for the most popular sport in the country most popular spectator sport anyway and i think soul is i don't know maybe the death of her past officially or now i mean i think you know how many how many at the world series per se you don't definitely look at the stanley cup you know you don't get it you know the you know basketball well the whole thing you'll get is the world cup because it has world in it yeah you know the world's invited so the world go but exactly there's mean i can't believe they have enough room for all the different broadcast teams from all the different countries that have to go to do it but you know again you just think about how i conduct the super bowl is as an event itself and you know all the years you know we were all you know growing up i mean the first thirty five years of this sure but in the first the first thirty five super pictures only appeared twice last twice and in the last seventeen super bowls now the patrons have appeared eight times here and that's you know a compass is the entire tom brady bill bell a check era these two are going to go down specially especially with patriots games it seems like every play matters every single play worth a second quarter third quarter fourth quarter last four minutes left two minutes left play every play every play matters you watch basketball i love basketball every play doesn't matter every play you know the lay ups missed and dunks missed an hour well that's things but you know they're running back the other way than they were you know you get you get one hundred eighty shots and then it for you that's great at thirty nine not a would get five or six five or six shots into the red zone even they might just get three yeah because you know scored two tries yes score two touchdowns kick a field goal and then kick two long field goals you might only get three chances inside the red zone whereas you know with the patriots they usually get a lot of chances where they get a touchdown or field goal and they usually get touchdowns which now puts pressure on the other team and that's not then it leads to well connect foles keep up if the patriots score you know if they but they don't have a habit of not score in the first quarter insuperable yeah that's an incredible stat that they have has not scored you know we have no points in the first quarter but they've got a pretty wide margin of think it's like seventy seven points and all their  fourth quarter super bowls didn't break during brady bell a good actor in those appearances you know you guys type of play in the whole sixty minutes to back up just for a second you know to the a f c championship game and if you know jacksonville well what an effort i mean they played you know about as  good a game as you could have asked of them on the road playing inexperienced patriots team and you know having having a lead in the fourth quarter but once again brady with the magic as we see the shot here scored the any image although with the winning touchdown catch in the the final minutes to spark a great comeback in patriots winning the game twenty four twenty and for brady his fifty fourth all time fourth quarter are over fourth quarter comeback and i guess eleven of those have come now in the playoffs and we've lost graunt two so we lost the right of our often and brady you know going into the game those questions with his hand that he banged up at practice but obviously he performed well enough in the game but yeah to play the whole second half with no gronk and yeah i mean that you know the weapons you know the touchdown we've also got the great image stefan gilmore been waiting all year for him to live up to the contract and look at that i mean right there i mean sure good boy that ball if he doesn't get a hand on it looks like it's going to go right into westbrook sands and probably be a  ok all right well then you're ok let's let us indeed do that we're going to go to the phone lines and we are speaking christopher price who covers the patriots for a boston sports journal dot com he is in minneapolis right now outside super bowl america for quite yet but that's the log flume looks really intriguing i may have to try that before the week is done but is this is really something else and i've never been in a place of all this period took a couple walk around the a little bit today and there were there were doesn't look like it's changed you know the you know the traffic pattern or really much at all of course a little bit of trivia here the mall of america in bloomington minnesota is built on the site of the old metropolitan stadium which was the original home of the minnesota vikings who by the way were just one win away from getting a chance to to host or play in a super bowl in their home stadium of course they failed to do that what's been the atmosphere from the minnesota fans here the fact that they were they were so close i mean it would have just been a total see a purple for the super bowl and now they have to watch two other teams play it's interesting because usually when you travel when you cover the patriots there there is no love lost when you talk to people in opposing cities and you know most of the other super bowls i've covered the other cities are probably a little bit more vocal in their dislike of the patriots but here because of what happened between the vikings and the eagles i suspect that there are some you know maybe a whole lot of vikings fans fans like you know they did that they didn't throw snowballs at santa claus back in the day but yeah it's just you know here they are you know with the way they treated those vikings fans kind of kind of low rent there but let's get to the game itself and obviously the probably the most pressing question right pictures with their first full practice today this weekend first of three practices at the vikings facility as the as the patriots of the home team for the super bowl so my question is what was the what i hear about robin koski today i mean because you know he seemed to be progressing along this week but of course he's still in concussion protocol and have to get final sign off from a independent physician and i guess he was limited in practice today yet you was limited in practice today in that same time there's a growing sense of o optimism that he will be able to play look i'm not you know much of a doctor here but i think it's important to note that you know between the fact he was limited to practice today as opposed to the n p c talk last week and then you figure into the fact that he was well enough to go getting over a concussion so again this kind of a growing sense of optimism that he's going to be able to play come sunday but you shall see in the next day or two of them they'll make some sort of final assessment as to where yes but i do know that here's italy's right now still taking submissions because nothing really kind of at least so far nothing is really kind of you know off the tongue you know a little bit alliterative mean or like like drive for five you know i'm just going to just kind of sounded right so we're still tak submissions as we speak well talk about brady to this week and just every you know just the whole legacy now with the patriots brady and bela check appearing together in a super bowl for the eighth time and it just this amazing run that they have had when you when you think about the journey that the two of them are being together because it's not only the fact that brady has been able to play at the trial over such an extended period of time but but he's the only guy the only guy at least as far as i know that has been able to kind of you know turn it around in which fifty two completely different players as opposed to the graffiti had you know the first time around so it's really something else you know when you take the body of his work into consideration what he's been able to accomplish over the years i mean think about  how often do want to back in a coach stay together this long i mean coaches the i mean it's like three four years ago on the you know it's amazing the fact that they can actually work together this long well and how about this in the fifty two year history the super bowl pittsburgh steelers eight super bowl appearances dallas cowboys eight super bowl appearances denver broncos eight super bowl appearances now let's check in brady eight super bowl appearances and obviously the tenth all time for the patriots franchise is just you but when you can just say that you know in second place behind the patriots franchise you've got three teams and bella check in brady yes in it it really is remarkable when i consider when you consider you know where this franchise was fifteen twenty years ago to where they are now you know what's what's happened to them and what's happened you know them as a group it's all going to come together really fortuitously for them and i think one of the secrets is when you think about the fact that they are all consistently on the same run they won three out of four with the third super bowl coming against the eagles again the same opportunity presents itself here thirteen years later you know three out of four and an eagles perhaps eagle super bowl victory to cap it  like you know josh mcdaniels and and map interests are both heading out the door as well so are you sensing as you've been around the you know in minneapolis this week any sense of finality with regards to to this patriots dynastic run to in terms of the dynastic run but there is a feeling of this is the last round of this group as currently constituted not just the coaching staff but they have some pretty huge decision that they have to make in a i honestly believe that they're kind of savoring this moment because you know you you don't know how many opportunities you're going to get in these types of situations in the specially with you know their vote the other day that you know patricia graduating from university here it feels like the last few days before graduation and i'm kind of scatters off to their own lives kind of goes on to a new chapter so it is that there is a sense that you know there's going to be a reset some time in the offseason both from a personal perspective because the tree agency in the draft but also when it comes to the coaching staff you know patricia mcdaniel pretty joe judge the special teams coach the moving on he's in the last year of his contract so when the screen gets together again in the from the spring the summer you know they're going to look very very different and i think they understand that i think they're kind of enjoying these last few moments together and speaking of the coaches too with their i've heard some rumors about depending upon you know if they win on sunday that maybe he would also decide to retire again i talked to dante the other night in he said he used taking it right now a year to year so he's he's turning seventy in two weeks and you know he's kind of on a year to year basis with this point which i can completely understand at that age so i have not heard anything definitively on that one way or another but again you know coming from him he sounds like a guy who is kind of taking it as it comes it's funny you want to speak very what would come you know having worked for so many coaches so many different aspects of one man over the years you made it work you're personally regarded as one of the best in the business at his position and speaking of all these guys with experience of course you know you've got sixty five year old year old tom brady and all the experience they bring to this super bowl matchup against a philadelphia team that honestly a lot of their fans maybe i don't think the team thought this but probably i'm sure a lot of their fans thought once carson whence went down late in the season that they had no chance to to make it to this game but here they are again and just talk about you know i guess my question here i mean how just how much does that experience really help the patriots you know going up against you know a kind of a novice coach in doug think you should the fact that you know you get to a moment like this and integrate you've been here before and you know everything that entails you know pretty halftime adjustments post game all of the you know the circus that goes along with it doesn't mean anything that you step on the field and you know you don't play well so i you know it's like a first couple hits i mean you know you're in a football game but it's like all the pomp and circumstance before the press the media just the time they have to spend doing things that they had not used to do and where was the patriots the played this game before so they learn how to budget their time the learn how to do you know the interviews learn how to make use of their time whereas other teams you know they just don't have that not to mention all that experience chris that they've had executing properly i mean they they execute on the feel part of it is they have that experience that it's almost like a muscle memory they just always know they're in this game a lot and they they know how to perform on the biggest stage yet into same time again i  it but you know they've been in these big moments before and this is a team that i think it's held up very well from a mental toughness standpoint over the course of the season again i don't know how much that's all going to come into play on sunday night but you know what it is i think you have the ability of you know outside the box response but based on the eagles ability to successfully executed one pass option over the last few regular season games been in the postseason i think nick foles is one of those guys you know this  s basically fundamental to what they want to get done offensively this ability to execute those types of situations and you know if you can execute it and if you can kind of get some offensive traction i think it's going to be huge for for philadelphia and their ability to move the ball down the field thing i don't know the final score at this point but i just have a feeling it's going to be a five six seven point game it's not going it's going to close but it's not going to be a dramatic it's maybe the last couple that they've had so i think doing is going to win i think it's going to be close but it's not going to come out of the last minute time i know it's a crazy week for you but thank you joy the super bowl and you enjoy the game and you know this you know is is that these guys keep rolling on but thank you for taking time to join us tonight  ok and you know i guess i probably should you know hopefully we get chris in studio sometime because i know he's talked before he wants to write that that that book about the hartford whalers the history and i'll help him out with a go i've got stories for no i'm the only one know it anyway six one seven four eight four two four four three we're going to take your phone calls here the phone lines are open we will be talking to someone in philadelphia in a little bit but we've got a few minutes now so if you want to call in this is a good time to do so again six one seven four eight four two four four three if you're watching us here on january the thirty first and so you guys i mean you know talking about you know we were taught x factor's i think one guy that could be he could play a part of that run pass off fence and it could be malcolm butler but it may even be eric roll the third because a lot of times they line up aguilar in the slot so they may put the third quarter back on him and you know might be a matchup that they can exploit not to mention also they've used aguilar in the backfield to the season so he's kind of a versatile jack of all trades weapon for them exactly there you guys i mean yeah no i mean if he's going to be tough because he's quick and the patriots seem to defend the bigger receiver well where they double over or put a safety over the top and they use you have a little bit tougher time with the the smaller quicker receiver so yeah i think he's he's the three receivers turned over yet and that's going to be big because in going to need a couple of those in this game which they have in the past you know they've always had big plays you know the butler interception the you know the force fumble by i towel yeah right you know and they just haven't been able to do that as of late so i think that's going to be an important part and i think yeah i think for the season patriots finished up a play i was reading there were a plus six internals but philadelphia was a plus a level so they've been the more opportunistic team especially you know during the post season especially but yeah you're right i mean it's weird that the patriots won these two playoff games without you know four signature overs and in fact they lost the turnover battle in the you know in the jaguars game and again they talk about you know they always say the team that wins the turnover  especially you know in the postseason wins like such a large percentage of the time kind of reminds me of the year that the bruins won the stanley cup they couldn't score on the right like it's almost like you didn't want them to be have the main advantage you want them to be five on five you know and it's th shut the pittsburgh fans up you know after they kind of castable off to the side that they haven't come back in and not only win the super bowl a patriot super bowl ring but to do it in style it be so it's so bellatrix anyways to pick up a guy like that are defensive front seven doesn't you know trey flowers and that's about it really gets pressure on the quarterback that there's nobody is double in our front seven other than hours and so it's hard so we don't get a lot of pressure on the quarterback we have to scheme we have to i say we the patriots have to skiing they have to trick they have to do something to get pressure on the quarterback now with foles with with a guy who doesn't have a lot of they don't want to get caught out of position either so it's kind of like a cat and mouse game with this guy and yeah yeah all right and that's where it helps having someone like james harrison who we have a picture of we can go to that james harrison kind of an edge setter what a great late  pick up i mean they picked him up the day after christmas after the steelers won it christmas really hasn't dropped him yeah you know and all in the postseason i mean you know like how you and i been talking about this about is ability so you know you just makes one or two places whole postseason always already got six tackles in the playoffs including no one quarterback yet so you know he's he's more than done his job but you do get the feeling the way he's been setting that edge even in the in the two playoff games and getting involved that he'll be able to kind of the thing the patriots don't get a lot of slack so if they do get one or do get through that's huge look look at the hightower hit on matt ryan last year in the super bowl change things if he were going to go to the phone lines at six one seven four eight four two four four three and i believe we have a former you know team mascots and everything so at glenn hello welcome a time out for sports talk how you doing good and from yeah yeah very good actually i've got the perfect graphic to put up on screen for you here because you're i know you're a big fan of the mascot yourself up patriots are going for their second three little trilogy of three super bowls of four years the first go round they defeated the rams are the panthers and the eagles this time it's the bird trilogy apparently seahawks falcons and well there you go see it but i mean it's you know the third time here and then the patriots all time and super bowls against animal teams are a five in one which is very impressive they're always three against humans so are the two losses to the giants one of the packers but when they face would i think for a patriot especially one who's carrying a musket a b c to take a bird down which they've done you know two or three super bowls and read there you go but no what are you what you've got you've got some thoughts on the game outside of the mascot up and it's just it's unbelievable so i'm sure the past but i'll tell you i'm not i'm not that guy who never gave up i give up all the time by the second quarter and that doesn't make it a horrible human being but they just teach they get into the i'm like ok i'm still on the bus so what were you like when watching last year's super bowl when i was twenty eight three in the third quarter you just like under your like just or did you decide to change the channel at that point i'll tell you exactly what i did was watch me give my nephew and i looked at halftime and said hopefully we're going to blow the opportunity to watch the greatest sports comeback of all time have been and i drove home and i missed one play of the second game and i'm sitting there and there was a part of me that wanted to shut the t v off i just couldn't take it anymore and then there was a part of the signal like you just said if i do and they come back and win this game i'm going to miss the greatest comeback in super bowl history i said i'm just going to have to sit here we need to suffer all hope that's the case and then they came want to did it but i was really close by self to this i just couldn't take it anymore they're just getting beat from pillar to post but there was a pot of me and then to go back to a celtics game many patriots in any of their five super bowls is a game that went to overtime i mean only the patriots could could manage to do that but there's a james white's touchdown in the overtime too so it's a pull that off but yeah all these games of the brady belichick  not the the greatest coach and he's got the you know the greatest a quarterback being these two guys are just very unique individuals that are you know it we're going to look back in twenty thirty years and just go these guys were the best ever at what they did super bowl i mean he's playing at at the highest level when most guys are already long retired or at least if they're not there they're certainly thinking about it as their career is kind of falling off a cliff but you know it's just what you get and what brady is doing right now just defies all logic and you know you watch i don't know i mean guys i know a let's al to blend the tom versus time i was rather hesitant i really didn't have a huge urge to watch this but a couple of friends had texted  me and said i should check it out or whatever so i did and the one thing it confirmed for me is that brady is hard wired like no other you know very few athletes i should say i'm sure there are a few other athletes maybe a michael jordan you want to you know transcend different sports but certainly you know this guy's just there's something very unique about his approach and his laser focus and i mean he was still in that first installment of the tom versus time he's he's still lamenting about that super bowl forty two loss to the giants as of course as we are  fans right but you know but he's so still obsessed with it about that i mean you know he wants to go out there and win all the time and you know i just think there's not a lot of athletes who think that way or have that mentality as much is this guy does especially you know forty year old athlete no less and he's going out there and and beating all the younger competition yeah you know most guys when they're playing at this age are either kick is a punt is not quarterbacks are not running you know you know they're old guys that you know it just you anyone else to say his legacy is already there it's like what is left you know like i said why not you know go off the sunset with the we don't enjoy your family you have kids get another career go on but you know why go around  beat up i mean we keep hearing us we keep hearing that brady is wants to play till he's like forty five which just seems just crazy to think about but after you watch the tom versus time you watch him and you kind of i mean i was watching i'm starting to believe that maybe he can make it great background i'm glad you know it just for some more out of perspective about what you know the philadelphia eagles franchise that still looking for their first championship ever i mean they are making their third super bowl appearance of the fifty two year history of this game course having lost the first two it's but their third all time super bowl appearance and for the patriots it's their third appearance in the last four years just for some perspective but you know the eagles fans there to just talk about that we're going to talk to one in a moment but they're just starving for a championship  well but i got to introduce this is kind of a funny story we've been you know as i said this is our ninth patriots super bowl preview that we've done and you know this is the first time of all those that we've actually had a repeat opponent because the tradition is every year how you you know you've been part of all mine of these that we talked to a fan in the other city because we want to kind of get the opposing point of view here we're on ninety minutes we've got extra time so let's bring on you know someone from the other city to talk about that but this is the first of the nine times where we've actually had to go back to the same city so now interestingly enough i go back and you know thanks to the technology i take all these little rundowns i print out for the show i save them in my body computer and lo and behold i actually had the run down from the february two thousand  show our super bowl preview that year and we were talking to joe carpet nello who at that time was the general manager for chickie's and pete's which is a chain of very successful sports bars down in philadelphia so i see i see on the good good i mean do you remember anything about your appearance with us thirteen years ago i all right the first thing i have to ask you joe now conference championship weekend of course you're the build up all day because the the eagles have the late game with with minnesota all you eagles fans are watching that a f c championship game who you're what house started i mean out of all the teams that that is really a true full of these two football and you know out of all the teams to win a championship it feels like that if the eagles somehow well you know win a championship or championship and you know there was about two million people at the parade there already forecasting if there's any luck that something goes well for the eagles that they're actually looking to see that would be around four million people so i don't even know where they fit four million people because one of our focus is right near somehow some way they still get up and i don't know how they do it but but you know they say joe those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it was released today that the down there like you said there's already plans for the the victory parade and you know when it's what day it's going to be on and everything that same thing happened thirteen years ago when i believe bela check was talking about that to the team in the locker room before the game and obviously that's not the be all end all why the patriots won the game but you know it's just that extra level of motivate homenaje you know on to the extreme every week and next thing you know here it is in february and there again you know this looks like to be a very even match up to your super bowl and when you look at these two teams obviously they both were number one seeds in their respective conference both fifteen and three both had to overcome injuries i mean with the patriots it goes all the way back to the preseason and losing julian edelman for the year and they've had other players go down along the way i mean with the eagles and certainly i mean what were you thinking and you in your eagle fan brother and what were you all thinking down and you say to yourself you know what do you do now where do you turn and you know they brought nick foles in for this reason he was with the team he's familiar with the surroundings from later with the city in playing a front of that crowd and you know listen he had a magical season a couple years ago that actually made the pro bowl right so you know you look at it you say maybe he could set then be serviceable but i mean you saw it from what the odds were in the first playoff game against the lan it is no one thought they were going to win they get through that one on pretty much the final play the game no one thought they were going to be minnesota next you know they come through that one and i think there's not a person in the city of philadelphia maybe lines if they did this if they were complete shocked by the outcome of that game they everyone was very confident when a tight game maybe seventeen or thirteen to play the way that they did intend to many times in many fans voices around here was just the same thing you know it's going to be a very similar oakland raiders scenario to where you know you're just going to have that main quarterback goes down and you know it was a great season and maybe we'll get a next  touchdown a pass to torrey smith for one you know what it's interesting actually you know you you would probably never say that tom brady and nick foles kind of share a common bond but there's one thing that the two of them have done that no other quarterback i think you'd least any time recently has done that is that they've gone through an entire season throwing over twenty touchdown passes and only two interceptions you talked to joe earlier about that magic year of nick foles i believe was twenty seven touchdowns two interceptions and now brady couple seasons ago had a two interception season a play in the whole year so yeah that's i mean you know so they've got that going you know that that one commonality between the two of them absolutely and you know the going into this game is that the fans see what he did last game and how i mean again a perfect performance you couldn't ask for anything more out of out of a guy step in that grand stage in a situation in and perform in the way that he did and it brings a level of confidence in the city up to you know way surpass what it was thirteen years ago they really feel like this could be a game that they can win and i think you know you could say this almost any game but they're really boiling it down to in the trenches you know what about our defensive line against the offensive line the patriots and vice versa and you know if that's where they believe the game will be  last you know if you look at it as a situation where if they get into brady's face before he gets a lot of his hands very quickly they've got a shot but if you know he's going up on his hands in six seven or pass on the field you know it's going to be a scary situation for there for the eagles yeah what speaking of the super bowl connection to with yeah between the patriots and eagle you've got you know maybe an eagles team that lacks you know as a lot of players on the team the course of not played in the super bowl but then you know you've got a couple of guys like europe  you know chris long who just won a super bowl last year and then talk about how those guys have come over and maybe help you know make make a positive impact on that philadelphia team they definitely did it it's a big impact those guys made and some of those leaders to come over from a championship team about their dirtiest really one tight group i've never seen this before and in all my years over it and shakey's pizza where these guys come back and they are just they're like brothers they truly are a in the best sense of the word they are a team and i think that's one of the big reasons where they got to where they are this year i've never seen a few like it and then you know from that the distant part of it that we are it's really kind of it's nice to see and you know their experience like long and the garb one is is just really helping the team out there are survivors veteran presences on the team there just spoke to them in the locker room and really kind of you know explain to them listen you know some of you guys are young and this my don't be your first second third season in the league and you know you don't take it for granted you got to go out there and you got to give it everything you've gotten you know the journey didn't encourage made it to minneapolis you have to go you have to follow through and you have to make sure that you put everything out there that you've got first for sixty more minutes and see what happens it's troy i always think about him arenal people talk about things like that times and you never know what happened following your injuries free agents how other teams come about the drafting and you're never can predict even as well as you think your team sets what's going to happen next couple years here's a nice you know talking about your coach doug peterson and the great job he's done with the eagles this year here's a fun piece of trivia for you doug peterson of course used to be an n f l quarterback he won a total of three games in his n f l career two of those actually playing with the eagles the third one came during the two thousand season as a member of the cleveland browns you know who the cleveland browns beat in two thousand peterson be were bill belichick bill belichick who was it his rookie season coaching the patriots nineteen eleven was the final score we were at that game  thirteen years later we're glad to see your banana not with the company just talk about chickens and peace kind of is a little bit definition because a lot of boston sports fans love to go on you know sports road trips and and what not first of all one thing i will say about philadelphia has almost the ideal  setup of any like be jersey city as far as like all the sports stadiums are just one giant complex and in south philadelphia it's great that there's all that space there and they were able to build all the stadiums right next to each other shared parking lots and what not i know tonight i think when you're at the you're at your location right near all those stadiums am i right you bet yeah i mean it is very odd not because just my my hometown but it is truly one of the best set up around i've been to many cities can check out their sports complexes and it's great to have you know all the buildings right there and you know you get the fan just crossing over and all different color whether it's the eagles drea the black and orange or the flyers or you know whatever it is with the phils and sixers you know which is often they have all those fans right down there when there's winners games going on so where we're lucky enough to have a location right down there it's been a great ride for us you know we're really looking forward to to you know expanding and keep on going we've got a lot of fans so we come and visit us you know especially the best in areas you know with the red sox are in town you know when we get those guys  visitors bank park and play the fills we get a lot of fans come down it's always great to see them you know we see some familiar faces every once in a while always nice to hide and i got to tell you red sox fans are very respectful but also we always like when they when they come down and say yes but you know as time goes on you never know you might see our name a little bit farther north over the boston area you know we're always looking for good locations and you know our famous product crab fries are actually going to we're lucky enough to actually have them being served at super bowl this year so it's kind of an awesome future for the phillies fans are going to be out there we're going to be right behind the end zone in section one eighteen so our signature product which is helped spread our growth over those past thirteen fourteen years looking forward to seeing its photo shoot out at the super bowl you know we got a photo of your crab fries up on the screen places do i guess you you guys invented or created the play to interactive sports bar you want to talk briefly about that yes sure it's a great spot basically you know you can you can rent out areas that whatever you want to do in there whether it's you wan play certain video games or have interactive sports experience with some of those virtual games that go on really cool spot as you can imagine for this upcoming sunday we're going to operate a little bit differently so they're going to be private v i p viewing areas for the big game of course right so you can bring six or ten or twelve of your friends and kind of have your own spot you have your own server and bartender there to take carry and really just show you a good time and you know what better way to wash it game than over a chick is peaches a few blocks away from the for the sports complex and  for the big game and we were sold out within just a few hours of putting them on sale went really really quick and it got to you know the cool thing is if they're not all the local fans we've got fans coming from so many different states across the country they just want to be in philadelphia they want to be with us you know the teams l  is represented here sell those underdog t shirts so they're they're flying off the shelves right now there's a line out the door for those for those fans to buy those they're really bite into that whole philosophy and supporting him he's a great guy you know and all the proceeds from that are going joe tell us about a player that we look at the golf player to watch on sunday maybe a name we don't necessarily know about who you think could potentially have a big game and then after that we want to give us a final score for the game because a longstanding tradition that we do anyone who actually predicts the correct final score to the point will get to host a future show very go all right why i think you know one of the players to keep a real eye out for is probably one that you have to keep a very face and he's not going be very comfortable so big the can can had again these had the past couple of weeks and really step up to his performance i think that that of the a real game changer for for the you want to say the name one more time for me joe sure how to score correct the only time in twenty five years we've done this you know a person is correctly picked the final score was someone out in green bay during super bowl thirty one there you go right very nice you got that plane in your favor as you can imagine i do think the eagles are actually going to finally break through i think it's gonna be a really tough game i do think it's going down the final position i think the final score is going to be twenty four utils twenty patriots ok i thought for a minute you were going to say twenty four twenty one which is the score super bowl thirty  nine you know i thought about that but i think that they're actually going to play strong enough defense hold these guys to a pair field goals to kind of you know get that leila the higher until the eagles come back on that last possession and kind of break through and watch it so if you crowd jump through windows in excitement country all the eagles fans that are coming and i'd say there's there's really no more exciting place to be you know the link is i was he was very loud the past two games but with a run for our building it's actually really really mad there it's almost deafening so it's kind of fun to be down there it's really energetic there's no one place i'd rather be and watch fair enough joe will have much money as you possibly can given that your team's going to come up a little short some day but i don't sorry i have to say that but i'll thank you very much for joining us here  i don't know i don't think it fits twelve hundred i've been there i don't think it's yeah that's i mean that place looks pretty big it is yeah you know definitely had i'd say the c b s scene probably doesn't fit a thousand yes it is a big place but but not that  anyway we still have time to take your phone calls on this expanded show because guess what time out for sports talk is in overtime right now just like last year's super bowl for the patriots so the number six one seven four eight four two four four three yes it's january thirty first want to thank our our excellent crew in the control room for fixing that earlier because i did not let's get to one of my favorite stats that i always like to talk about here when it comes to the sisters of the super bowl and in fact let's just throw up a picture from super bowl thirty nine the white it's the thing that's now the this is actually the game that started a very hot trend among super bowl winners the last thirteen super bowls the team wearing the white jerseys as one twelve of the thirteen times starting with th to wear their white jerseys because their last three super bowl win starting with that one you saw their super bowl thirty nine they were wearing their road whites but this is the for you but in the other three i should point out they were the road team and only wore white because the other team chose to wear their dark colored jersey he's got it so this is the first time in only the sixth time in super bowl history that the designated home team for the game is chosen to wear white two of those instances it was the dallas cowboys who as we know there was always wear white  natural so that almost doesn't count so then the interesting thing is that the teams that have chosen to wear white in the previous five times four and one and in fact dallas the first time they did they lost in super bowl thirteen which is bowls i remember watching on t v and then in the subsequent in the last four times the team that has chosen were white as one of the most recent being two years ago denver broncos decided to shake up their tradition because when they play their orange jerseys they don't really have a whole lot of luck they remembered losing a lot of games were in the orange so they decided to wear white and then they beat carolina and super bowl fifty so there is that what is your thought about this about the patriots decide to choose to wear white because i got a couple different takes on this one is you're the new england patriots this is your tenth super bowl you've won five times you know this is like a superstitious thing why would it seem like the patriots be worried about superstition why why are they choosing to do this because if anything you know as i pointed out super bowl thirty nine they started the trend they wore white they wanted started the streak of teams wearing white winning but you know if they decided to start a new trend and say well we're the home team we're going to wear home jerseys we were blue at home that's all we're going to wear so that was my first thought but then you know i kind of remembered something that patriots tried to start a trend another super bowl super bowl forty two eighteen uno and running out of the field were a red hoodie for the first time and only time in history bill belichick no we don't have a picture that because i don't want to see that picture that red hoodie you get because he tried to do something different and it didn't work so that made me think ok maybe i get the and this might just be one of them so i get it that was me i go read those dark eyes going around i don't think that's an option it has to be if you're going to wear an alternate jersey because i believe philly could have worn they have like a black alternate jersey they could have chosen that instead of their green which they're going to wear but it has to be something you've worn during the year they didn't pay for it's never worked there reg things where i don't know how many years it's been since they won their throwbacks well they usually wear it they try they have worn it on on a thursday night this year i'll check ok power of white thirty three and eighteen is the all time record for teams wearing the other white years and by the way speaking of bill belichick we have a picture of him here and some traditions people asked him when he stepped off the plane in minneapolis  you know i'll throw you know there's all sorts of different numbers you can throw at this game we mentioned brady being the oldest quarterback brady by the way for the record he has won ten straight games playing indoors with a quarterback rating well north of  hundred the last time brady lost in a dome or in a indoor stadium was super bowl forty six the second giants loss and it was six years ago so he's ten in zero indoors in the last six years and his throne great i mean obviously i know he says his hand still doesn't feel one hundred percent based on the temperatures the expected high temperatures for for minneapolis on sunday it's a good thing they're playing this game indoors because i think you might be lucky if they they they hit zero you know to be bitter we think it's like thirty below with the wind teams it's for all those fans and not even like the regular fans like you and i because when the tickets are going for thousands of dollars at a whack that a price to suss out so yeah there you go exactly as they get to make sure they're nice and toasty and warm you know right which they will be u s way that the you've got all the snow and ice if it builds up as remember they had that collapse of the yeah yeah you know where the snow fell and well this is shape in such a way that everything kind of just falls off to the side i got one more bella check picture here to throw at you like i found the slide i said we have to use this so we'll take this this is a quote from bill bell a check as this is this was right after they beat the atlanta falcons last year his greatest today is and honestly we're five weeks behind thirty teams in the league and preparing for the twenty seventh season yeah bill that really hurt up so brady's got the positive going for him these played so well indoors but brady's going to have to overcome one stat that works against him brady led the league in passing this year and has a good chance of being the m v p in the past there have been there have been and you know did not did not win among others so brady's going to overcome that but then we've got the d on lewis factor former eagle by the way he was originally an eagle and then he left there rather a disgruntled you know they kind of cut him loose and give him a second thought and patrons pick them up louis is played thirty five games as patron the pats are thirty two and three when he plays all three of us last actually coming this year but yeah i mean you know he i think the thing that works and loses favorite is that no one expected did he play all the games this year because the first two seasons with the patriots you've had various injuries and you know wasn't able to play all the time and i think the you know bell a check on the rest the coaching staff done a great job you know making sure he's been healthy and it really has been their most consistent running back all year he said e's had a tremendous season and you know i would think you're going to be looking for him to have a big game on super bowl sunday yeah i think because the patriots brady seems a uses running backs more lewis is and he's great in the passing game so you know when brady's out there you think in past when lewis or james white's out there you think can pass and with lewis he can run the ball between the tackles occasionally james white not so much so he he's kind of a little bit of what seems way can be in the receiving game and he can run between the tackles as well so that's why he has he's actually great he's actually the game it's a pretty good chance you know both coordinators leave after this game and of course as far as you know me and maybe it's dante scarnecchia maybe joe judge is gone as well you look at what the future replacements there i guess i would say maybe chad o'shea is favored on the off chance of coordinator side he's been a wide receivers coach and been with the coaching staff for the last nine years brian florrie's who was highly regarded actually had an interview in arizona as a linebackers coach but he's again he's been in the belly check system now for ten years  with kid and everything and yet he's still been able to stay focused and had a solid year at left tackle he's only missed one game they've had a revolving door at right tackle since marcus cannon went down but it looks like you know it's going to be cameron fleming maybe a little leaguer and waddle to i know his health status is up in the air for the game but you know these guys of done a good job i think they're going to play a big key because obviously the best chance billy has to win this game is to get pressure on brady so you know the focus is going to be on that old line to make sure that doesn't happen if it doesn't have any what they are able to you took twenty four twenty three patriots i'm going to say i was kind of with you but i use for a score kind of right in that range but i also think the patriots then will you know get a late touchdown and i've got them winning thirty one twenty one which would be their largest margin of any of their super bowl wins if they do it you know i was going to get into a segment where we were going to like rank all the super bowl wins but we guess what we're out of time we're out of time folks ninety minutes flies by just like that again i want to thank
