Jason Kelce brought to tears with story about New Orleans terror attack victims

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce got emotional when talking about two of the victims in the New Orleans terrorist attack.

Kelce is part of ESPN’s Super Bowl pregame coverage, and the network aired a piece about Ryan Quigley, an Eagles fan who survived the attack.

The story brought Kelce to tears.

Quigley was with his friend, Tiger Bech, who was walking on Bourbon Street when a man driving a pickup truck drove into a crowd of people.

Bech was among one of 14 people killed in the attack, and Quigley was injured.

Quigley vowed to never return to the city after the tragedy, but the Eagles offered him tickets to the Super Bowl after his story.

Quigley made the decision to go to the game because of a promise he made to his late best friend, Bech.

Quigley told Bech that if the Eagles made the Super Bowl, he would take them to the big game in New Orleans.

When the cameras cut back to Kelce and the ESPN crew, the former Eagles star was overcome with emotions.

“Listen, there’s some awful people in this world,” Kelce said after taking a moment to gather himself.

“I had the fortune of meeting Ryan,” Kelce said through tears. “And the spirit, right there – you wouldn’t even know something happened if he wasn’t in a wheelchair before the Rams game. On one end, something terrible can happen, and on the other, something so beautiful can happen. And just happy that he’s going to be here on the behalf of Eagles fans everywhere. Hell yeah, Ryan.”

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Eagles in the Super Bowl on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

Eli Manning wins ‘Kick of Destiny’ in rather unconvincing fashion after Peyton’s doink

The third edition of FanDuel’s “Kick of Destiny” was back on Sunday, but it featured new faces in this go-round.

After Rob Gronkowski’s leg determined whether fans would receive a share of millions in bonus bets, this time, it was Peyton and Eli Manning’s turns.

The older brother Peyton was up first for a 25-yard kick, and his first attempt hooked left and never came close.

Eli then just needed to make his kick for the victory, but somehow, he managed to miss worse than his brother, coming up way short.

Peyton had a chance for redemption, this time from just 20 yards out. However, he doinked it off the right upright.

The New York Giants legend lined up for his 20-yarder as chants of “Eli” rang from the crowd, and it was, as Giants announcer Bob Papa would say, true blue.

Eli drilled the kick right down the middle with plenty to spare.

“This feels unbelievable. We earned this moment. I was grinding, been working so hard, and finally, to be a kicker, it just feels right,” Manning said, adding that he pulled a muscle in the competition.

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley celebrating 28th birthday at Super Bowl LIX with a lot on the line

Saquon Barkley is poised for an incredible day.

The Philadelphia Eagles running back turned 28 years old on Sunday ahead of Super Bowl LIX, where he will look to win his first ring as an NFL player against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The birthday could be that must better with a ring, but there are more accolades the star player could achieve should he continue his dominant year. He’s 30 yards shy of breaking the NFL season rushing record with postseason numbers included. Barkley is short of Terrell Davis’ mark of 2,476 yards set in 1998 with the Denver Broncos.

Barkley made clear that everything about getting to the Super Bowl is nice, but the goal was to win the game.

“It’ll be amazing, something I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid,” he said of walking onto the field, during Super Bowl LIX’s Opening Night on Monday. “To actually be here and finally have it come to light will be amazing. But the dream wasn’t just getting there.

“The dream was to win the Super Bowl, and I think we’re capable of doing it.”

Barkley was awarded the 2024 Offensive Player of the Year award because of his incredible first season in Philadelphia. He had 2,005 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns in 16 games.

Trump releases statement ahead of Super Bowl LIX

President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday he will be at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

“I look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams – the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles – as they battle for the National Football League’s Vince Lombardi Trophy,” he said in a statement.

“The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream. Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment. They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.

“Football is America’s most popular sport – for good reason – it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities. This annual tradition transcends our differences and personifies our shared patriotic values of family, faith, and freedom heroically defended by our military service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders. We value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service.”

Trump mentioned the lives that were lost and wounded in the terror attack that took place in the city on New Year’s Day.

“This year, the Super Bowl returns to the Caesars Superdome for a (record-tying 11th time). While thousands of fans from across our Nation gather in New Orleans to cheer on their favorite team, we remember that 14 families will be missing a loved one who was tragically murdered during a senseless terrorist attack while celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street. Our thoughts are also with the 35 individuals injured during the attack whose lives were changed forever that fateful night, and our prayers will remain with them for continued strength, comfort, and healing.

“Tonight, we look forward to a terrific game and the crowning of the Super Bowl Champions. Melania joins me in sending our best wishes for a great Super Bowl Sunday. May the best team win, and may God bless you, your family, and the United States of America.”

Trump will become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Jets make decision on Aaron Rodgers’ future ahead of free agency

Is Aaron Glenn built to coach the Jets? | Breakfast Ball

Aaron Glenn said in his introductory press conference as the head coach of the New York Jets that the Jets are “built for this”. Craig Carton disagrees, and discusses the tumultuous history of the Jets and why Glenn needs to shake things up.

The New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers appear to be on course for a split.

FOX Sports reported hours before Super Bowl LIX on Sunday that the Jets told the four-time MVP they want to move on from the star quarterback. It’s unclear how that will happen – whether it’s an outright cut or they trade him.

FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer suggested that because Rodgers flew to New Jersey to meet with Jets brass, it may mean that Rodgers will seek to play at least one more season elsewhere.

Rodgers spent two seasons with New York. The first season ended almost as soon as it began as he tore his Achilles in Week 1 in 2023. He played the full 2024 season, bouncing back from the devastating injury. But the team missed the playoffs.

He talked about his future after their Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins.

“We’ll have the conversations in the next few days,” he said, via SNY. “Whatever happens out of there, I don’t know if anything will be definitive coming out of those. But I just need some time away to think about my future in the game, and my future here if they want me to be a part of the next phase or if they’re ready to move on. Either way, I’m thankful for my two years here.”

New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn didn’t exactly give an idea one way or the other about Rodgers when he was introduced last month.

“If you are going to continue to ask me the same question, I’m gonna give you the same answer,” Glenn said. “We’re still in evaluation mode. So if anybody else is going to ask that, I’m going to give you the same answer. So don’t waste your time. We clear?”

He was then asked what he looks for in a quarterback and responded, “A winner.”

Tom Brady reveals he took 15-minute nap before playing in 1st Super Bowl

Tom Brady won seven Super Bowl championships during his career with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During the 2001 season, Brady had to step up as the starting quarterback for an injured Drew Bledsoe and led the Patriots to their first Super Bowl appearance in several years. At that point, Brady was only in his second season in New England, and he appeared to be as cool as the other side of the pillow.

He explained to FOX colleagues Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan on “The Madden Cruiser Tour: A Bayou Adventure with Bill Belichick” that he decided to take a quick snooze before Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis Rams. The game was played in the Superdome in New Orleans.

“We had to warm up on the field and then we have 50 minutes before we went back out. So, I took my pads off and I was like, you know, I’m just gonna lay down and rest and I literally took a 15-minute nap before the game,” he explained.

Strahan was stunned and said he would’ve been jittery the entire day.

“The difference is, when you’re young, you don’t realize the enormity of what you’re going through because I had not really been in the league that long. Eighteen years later, when I was playing in the Super Bowl, I couldn’t sleep the night before the game,” Brady said.

Brady will be coming back to where he won his first Super Bowl.

Secret Service recruitment ad to be played inside Superdome ahead of Super Bowl LIX kickoff

The U.S. Secret Service is expected to play a recruiting video for NFL fans inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans just before Super Bowl LIX kicks off on Sunday night, Fox News Digital has learned.

The minute-long ad, produced by award-winning American director Michael Bay, will only be played by the NFL inside the stadium, which has a capacity of 83,000.

The video obtained by Fox News Digital began with compelling scenes of American history.

“America was founded on an idea of freedom. America has always stepped forward in time of need throughout our short but powerful history,” the narrator says. “We’ve been there for all of it.”

Scenes of American service men and women flash alongside scenes of infamous assassination attempts, including the 1981 attack on former President Ronald Reagan and President Donald Trump, who survived a July 13 assassination attempt after being shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“Our heroes are humble. They have an inner pride to keep this idea alive. Protectors are born, they’re not made,” the narrator continues.

“America’s Secret Service protecting this Super Bowl is asking a few more to step forward.”

The recruiting ad comes weeks after Trump nominated Sean Curran, the head of his personal Secret Service security detail, to serve as director of the U.S. Secret Service.

Curran was one of several agents that rushed the stage in Butler to protect the president.

“Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” Trump said of his pick in a Truth Social post last month.

Ex-NFL star wears ‘Make America Great Again’ hat before Super Bowl party, ‘all for’ Trump visit to game

Former NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones appeared at a Super Bowl LIX party wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in apparent support of President Donald Trump.

Jones spoke to Fox News Digital on the carpet ahead of “SI The Party” in New Orleans on Saturday night. He said he was “all for” Trump’s potential visit to Caesars Superdome to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Love it. Love it. I’m all for it,” Jones said, adding he believed Trump has “got the best thing for us.”

Trump’s expected appearance at the Super Bowl has been the talk of the city since the first inkling that he may attend the event trickled out.

Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both seemingly appreciated the idea of a sitting president taking the time to attend the game.

“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” Mahomes said. “Someone that is at the top position in our country.”

“I think it’s a great honor no matter who the president is,” Kelce added, via the New York Post. “I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.”

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts also weighed in.

“He’s welcome to do what he wants,” Hurts said.

Chiefs’ Chris Jones explains emotional burst of tears during national anthem

If there’s one safe bet anyone can make before Super Bowl LIX, it’s that the players and coaches’ emotions will be running high from the time they get up in the morning through the game.

Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones is not one to hide his tears as “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played before the game. He’s been seen letting his tears stream down his face before the game starts – whether it’s in the playoffs or during the regular season.

He explained to reporters during the week why he cries.

“Quick story. I was watching the movie ‘300.’ One of my favorite movies, you know? Right before they go into battle, you have some like, crying, because they’re so mad. They’re going to war,” he said. “In a sense of playing football, I actually go into that mindframe, like, I might not make it home tonight – knowing I’m going to make it home, but knowing I’m going to war. It’s going to get bloody. It’s going to get physical. I might not make it out. I might make it out.

“So in the midst of the national anthem, I have to put myself in that mindframe.”

Jones’ emotions were first put in the national spotlight before the Chiefs played the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship during the 2018-19 season. The Patriots won that game.

Since then, the broadcast cameras have found Jones letting it loose in the sidelines.

“I’m also retracing and going over all the obstacles it took me to get here, in a sense. Thinking about that, all that manifesting,” Jones added. “Tears start rolling because I’m so angry. I’m going through so many emotions. Anything (negative) somebody said like, three weeks ago, I’m remembering. I’m just full of emotions.”

Jones is one of the fiercest defenders Kansas City has on its defensive front.

The six-time Pro Bowler had five sacks and 37 tackles in 15 games this season. He has a sack and five tackles in the playoffs this year. He has 3.5 sacks in 21 playoff games in his career.

Jones will look to give Eagles fans something to cry about on Sunday.

Philly mayor warns Eagles fans over post-Super Bowl LIX antics: ‘Do not climb light poles or anything else’

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker warned Eagles fans about their post-Super Bowl LIX celebrations after their last one left at least one person dead and several injured in separate incidents.

The Eagles are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Philadelphia officials have made clear they were ready for revelers to take to the streets after the game. Parker warned fans not to climb on the city’s light poles.

“Don’t climb light poles or anything else,” she said Friday, via FOX 29 Philadelphia. “Please, Philadelphia, I implore you as your mayor, do not climb light poles or anything else.”

She added the climbing on any type of structure or fixture could “lead to tragedy.”

Tyler Sabapathy, an 18-year-old Temple University student-athlete, died after falling from the pole and landing on his head while celebrating the Eagles’ NFC Championship win, Philadelphia police told FOX 29 Philadelphia. The teen was taken to the hospital and was in very critical condition before he eventually died.
