The Philly Sports Guy is at it again and he is talking to Patriots fans who are tailgating at Lincoln Financial Field. These fans are from all over the place and The Philly Sports Guy gets to the bottom of whether they think the Pats have any chance. Fun is had with all interviewed and ultimately they get a good taste of what Philly is all about. Great stuff!

Story: The last time these 2 teams played there was a parade 2 days later down Broad Street ending with “Hungry Dogs run faster!”. I spent that day going from bar to bar that I frequent, painted as The Philly Sports Guy doing Eagles chants and singing the fight song, ending at my brothers house to watch with my family the Eagles win their first Super Bowl Championship. Amazed at the 4th and Goal “Philly Philly” call that will forever live in bronze at the Linc. My jeans were just about ripped off as I went to celebrate with everyone on Mac Dade Boulevard and makeup was smeared from crying over this Eagles win. The oncoming flu that came prohibited me from attending the parade, however I had a fantastic seat to watch all the festivities and the most epic celebratory speech I have ever heard by Jason Kelce. I will never forget the feeling of jubilation once the Hail Mary fell incomplete, and the eruption of millions of Eagles fans around the world. WORLD CHAMPIONS! I am sure it is something that every living Eagles fan will never forget!
Ridiculous Tom Brady Facts:
(1) Tom has 3 receptions throughout his career. His longest reception was for 36 yards vs the Eagles. He has only been targeted once in all his playoff appearances, again against the Eagles in Super Bowl 52. We all know how that turned out.
(2) Tom has 68 yards rushing against the Eagles in 4 regular season games played. That averages to 17 yards per game. The only double digit yards he has against any team. The next closest team is the Jaguars at 9.3 yards per game.
(3) Tom has lost more games in November (17) than in any other month.
(4) Tom has been sacked more times (41) and has been intercepted more (14) by NFC East teams than any other NFC division.
Current Line: Eagles +3.5 O/U 44.5 ML Eagles +160
Prediction: This is going to be a tough game all the way around. Can it be called a revenge game for the Patriots? I don’t think so. They are the reigning Super Bowl champs in the most boring Super Bowl ever played, so even if they want to use that as fodder to get up for this game I don’t believe it. Belichek is a good enough coach that I don’t think he needs to use such nonsense to motivate his team. This game will be decided by the defenses. Since the return of the Eagles CB’s they have gone from last in the league to 16th. Jalen Mills, Maddox, and even Darby have done a much better job against the most recent opponents. This game is going to be won in the trenches. Our scheme against Brady must have him nervous about getting hit. We will have to play tight coverage and blitz early to get Brady off his game. Consequently, this is another game where we must run between the tackles. The Pats D is good. 1st in total yards, points and 3rd down conversion, and 2nd against the pass, but only 11th against the run and teams get away from that game plan because they are typically behind. This can not be one of those games where we get away from the run. It needs to be a heavy dose of Howard and Sanders running north-south. If the Eagles are able to stick with that game plan and control the ball, we will win this game.
Go BIRDS!!!

The Chicago Bears are playing at the Linc and The Philly Sports Guy is there to remind them that they have some problems with kicking the football. These fans still have the pain of the “Double Doink” stuck in their heads and another huge gaff last week by their new kicker “Eddie Money”, who must have been cashed in already since he lost their game last week. Of course, we ask questions about QB Trubisky and if Mack is anything as advertised. Good stuff from your favorite Philly Fan! Go BIRDS!!!
This episode also has some Eagles fans from France showing that Birds fans are truly international.
With the Bye week upon us, we revisit last week when the Chicago Bears were playing at the Linc. The Philly Sports Guy was there to remind them that they have some problems with kicking the football. These fans still have the pain of the “Double Doink” stuck in their heads and another huge gaff last week by their new kicker “Eddie Money”, who must have been cashed in already since he lost their game last week. Of course, we ask questions about what their fight song is, and what they did with that 3rd round pick for Jordan Howard (spoiler – no one knows in this video). Good stuff from your favorite Philly Fan! Go BIRDS!
This week I was up The Philly Sports Guy was up in Buffalo, New York and talking to Bills fans from both sides of the border. These Bills fans have been beaten up over the years, so some of them were easy pickens. It doesn’t stop me from beating them up some more, but they are used to it by now. There was so much good footage that even after editing it down, there was enough for 4 parts, 1 for each Super Bowl loss. Good people and good stuff from a passionate fan base. Go Birds!

Bills have won 5 of 7 regular season games in Buffalo
Bills have held opponents to 17 points or fewer in 7 of 9 regular season games
Story: I do not have a story about the Bills vs the Eagles, however that will change as I will be in Buffalo supporting our BIRDS and looking for a huge bounce back from the previous 2 road games. I look for our Defense to make a couple of huge plays and we break this 2-game snide.
Current Line: Buffalo -1.5 Over/Under 43
Prediction: An inspired Eagles team starts to put the pieces back together led by the Defense and Special Teams. The Offense will have some trouble with the Bills 3rd ranked defense and ultimately it will be the short field that does in the Bills. Score: Eagles 19 Bills 11

Episode 6 – Eagles All Over The Place
In this episode, we are in Glenolden, PA, and this married couple has not only an incredible fan cave, they have Eagles stuff all over their home. From the moment I walk in the door there is Eagles pictures, place mats, purses, and other paraphernalia throughout. Once I get into the fan cave they have it set up as Eagles party central. From the bar to the shrine, this area is an Eagles Haven. Also a couple of extra clips in the back that I wanted to share. A must see! Go Birds!
This week I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota and talking to the Viking World Order fans and a few fans at my Pep Rally held at Sneaky Pete’s. These guys are Superfans and they did not let my banter deter them, but as always I have to get the last word. I may have let a “Skol” chant in for a couple of the guys but I make them work for it, as nobody gets their chants by The Philly Sports Guy without earning them. All in all a bunch of great interviews and worth watching thru to the end. This one is a long one, but as The Philly Sports Guy says, “I bring it every play, of every game! ALL DAY!” Go Birds!
