[Chris Long on Birds With Friends podcast] “This is what you’re playing for. You know, you’re playing for the Super Bowl, but you’re Immortal in that city if you win this game. And there’s no better place to be Immortal… than Philly.”

I hate Philly, I hate that they won a SB with a backup, then scrapped the coaching staff, QB, and in 5 years have gone to another SB. I hate how much I respect that, it just doesn’t happen like that in the NFL.

Was all due to the NFL script writing obviously

I respect you and love you giving McCarthy the keys to the offense again.

Long was such a beast for us. Him an Blount were huge pieces to the Eagles success in 2017.

Alshon Jeffery too. That dude was integral to your 2017 team in my opinion. 2 touchdowns against the Vikings in the NFCCG and scored the 1st touchdown in the SB that year.

They had to play a perfect game to win that sb. And they fucking did (offensively). And then they made the crazy momorable plays like you have to. That bg strip sack still gives me chills.

And weren they both forme patriots too?

True, I mean look at Foles.

If Nick Foles ever needed a place to crash, my wife can sleep on the couch

Eegggghhhhhh I don’t know Jim!

I mean, the best job on Earth is a backup QB. Paid millions. Rarely see the field if ever. If you suck no one's really going to hold it against you that much.

Mofo ended up getting paid tho. Happy for him

I love how much he loves Philly despite having only played one year here

didn't he come back in '18 ?

He always talks about it as finding his “football home” after Rams went to LA and he joined the NE well oiled machine.

c'mon man you can't post positive Philly fans stuff. That's against the narrative.

I SEENT IT!

Doing those kids a favor tbh

It's not a birding podcast? Pass.

I tuned in hoping for an update on the superb owl everyone’s talking about but was thoroughly disappointed

Chris Long is one player who I wish had started his career here. He’s absolutely right.

He's near the top of the list of players you'd want to hang with. He seems super cool.

You can be immortal in Philly even if you don't win the Superbowl. Buddy is a perfect example. You can become immortal in Philly with a single hit, ask Sheldon Brown. Hell if you can just be consistent, you can be a legend like Jason Avant. You have to earn the respect, but if you do, you will be beloved and remembered forever.

I feel like new york would be a cooler place to be immortal

Yeah I think currently between all the major sports if I got the choice it would be winning an NBA championship for the Knicks. You’d prolly be treated even better than Jeter or Eli.

Or Vegas

“No better place to be immortal than Philly” …

I mean the liberty bell is fairly iconic as well.

I like how the statue was made for Rocky 3 and they just left it there and somehow that made Philly racist.

Well in their defense, the real life iconic boxer from their city was black, do you expect them to immortalize him?

Technically true. If you get shot, you won't die. That could come in handy, especially if you hang out in Marvin Harrison's neighborhood.

🎵 That’s hometown pandering 🎵

This championship will be like the Lakers mickey mouse Covid one.

I can assure you on behalf of both Eagles and Chiefs fans that we do not give a shit

Lol Couchboys fans are angsty and jelly

The attempt at trolling just comes across as a week long temper tantrum. Hard not to crack a smile when you see it.
