  • Chiefs’ Andy Reid admits feeling ‘old’ as Super Bowl matchup against son of former Eagles star looms

    Chiefs’ Andy Reid admits feeling ‘old’ as Super Bowl matchup against son of former Eagles star looms

    Andy Reid spent nearly a decade and a half coaching the Philadelphia Eagles, leading the franchise to a Super Bowl appearance along the way. 

    Reid departed the City of Brotherly Love after the 2012 season and became head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. 

    Reid has hoisted the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy three times as Chiefs coach, and this Sunday he will again face his former team.

    While there are countless story lines leading up to the Super Bowl, Reid was asked to share his thoughts about preparing his team to compete against the son of a former Eagles star linebacker Reid spent several years coaching during his tenure in Philadelphia.

    Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the son of Eagles Hall of Famer Jeremiah Trotter Sr., was a fifth-round draft selection last year. The younger Trotter recorded 25 tackles during his rookie season with the Eagles.

    Reid, 66, concluded that matchup meant he was “old.”

    The elder Trotter spent eight seasons with the Eagles in three separate stints. Reid was on the Philadelphia sideline for seven of those years.

    “Jeremiah, his father, was one of my favorite players,” Reid said. “This kid, his son, has done a tremendous job. Did it at Clemson and now transferred it to the Eagles. I think it’s a neat deal. He’s wearing the same number, all that. That’s a great deal. Great deal for the family.”

    Another intriguing matchup that has received considerable attention leading up to Sunday’s big game is the two opposing star quarterbacks. Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes is already a three-time Super Bowl winner, while the younger Jalen Hurts is making his second career appearance in the league’s championship game.

    The Eagles selected Hurts in the second round in 2020. He helped the Eagles advance to the 2023 Super Bowl but lost 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in that game. This year’s game in New Orleans will be a rematch of that Super Bowl from two years ago. 

    A victory over the Eagles would secure an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title for the Chiefs. If Philly is victorious, it would be the franchise’s second Super Bowl title.

    The Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET Feb. 9 from the Caesars Superdome on FOX.

  • Chiefs’ Travis Kelce sends three-word message of support to Eagles fans as Super Bowl matchup looms

    Chiefs’ Travis Kelce sends three-word message of support to Eagles fans as Super Bowl matchup looms

    Jason Kelce stepped away from football after the 2023 season. The former offensive lineman spent his entire standout career with the Philadelphia Eagles — the reigning NFC champions.

    The Eagles will soon travel to New Orleans to continue preparations for Super Bowl LIX. The Kansas City Chiefs will meet the Eagles at the Caesars Superdome for the big game, creating a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Jason and his younger brother Travis Kelce competed against each other in that game, with the Chiefs ultimately defeating the Eagles.

    Travis was recently named to his tenth consecutive Pro Bowl, while Jason has settled into broadcasting during his first year of NFL retirement. The former Eagles center Kelce signed with ESPN last year and made routine appearances on “Monday Night Countdown” throughout the 2024 football season.

    In November, Jason announced he would host “They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce” starting in early Jan. 2025 and continuing through the NFL postseason. Travis made an appearance on the latest edition of the show and was asked to share a message for Philadelphia fans. 

    The Chiefs tight end appeared to shrug his shoulders before responding with “Go Birds, baby!” as the live studio audience inside Philadelphia’s concert hall Union Transfer applauded.

    Jason quickly pointed to what he perceived as a disingenuous show of support from his brother. “You don’t mean that,” he said while laughing.

    Travis then spoke about his appreciation for his brother before doubling down on his Eagles support. 

    “What do you mean? I’m a Jason Kelce fanatic, dude,” Travis continued. “I love that guy. I still got all the gang green from you guys’ Super Bowl and your run in Philly. I still got some Philly pride man. I’m wishing the best for those guys, but, you know, uhhh, go birds.”

    “There’s absolutely no chance you mean that,” Jason concluded.

    After starting the 2023 campaign with a 10-1 record, the Eagles went on to win just one of their final six games. Philadelphia subsequently suffered a 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round. 

    Kelce announced his retirement shortly after the Eagles’ playoff exit. He ended his career with seven Pro Bowls and six First-team All-Pro selections.

    The end of the 2024 regular season and the ongoing postseason have been more enjoyable for Philly. The Eagles were presented with the George Halas Trophy last Sunday after the team won the conference title and clinched a spot in the Super Bowl.

    Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 9 from the Caesars Superdome.

    Before the game on Feb. 9, read below for a little history of the Super Bowl.

    Super Bowl winners

    The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for the most Super Bowl wins with six titles each. Following close behind are the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys with five titles each.

    There are a dozen teams that are still seeking their first Super Bowl win. Those teams are the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans.

    Of those teams, the Browns, Lions, Texans and Jaguars have never appeared in the championship game.

    Multiple Super Bowl MVPs

    There are six players who have earned multiple Super Bowl MVPs. Of those six players, Patrick Mahomes is the only one to still be an active player in the league as quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs.

    Super Bowl MVPs

    The person named Super Bowl MVP is chosen by a combination of fan vote and a panel of 16 football writers and broadcasters. 

    The panel of 16 holds the majority of weight in the decision, with their ballots counting for 80% of the vote and the fan vote accounting for the remaining 20%. Electronic votes from fans have been part of the decision since 2001. 

    The MVP often goes to a quarterback, but the award has been given to those in other positions.

    College basketball fans brawl as Saint Louis tops VCU in pivotal conference matchup

    A fight broke out in the stands of the Saint Louis Billikens men’s basketball team’s 78-69 win over the VCU Rams on Tuesday night.

    The incident occurred near the VCU bench with about 1:10 left in the game. Two men were seen on the CBS Sports broadcast of the game grabbing at each other and falling down a few rows as bystanders tried to break up the fracas.

    Security officers came up to try to break it up. The game, which took place in the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, was delayed about seven minutes before the action resumed. It is unclear if any arrests were made over the incident.

    When play did get back underway, Saint Louis closed out the game. 

    Gibson Jimerson led the Billikens with 26 points, and Kobe Johnson added 19 as the team picked up a huge win in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

    Robbie Avila added 14 points.

    VCU’s Zeb Jackson led the team with 15 points and two steals. Phillip Russell also had 15 points while Max Shulga had 14. VCU fell to 16-5 on the season and 6-2 in conference play. The loss ended the team’s six-game winning streak.

    Saint Louis trailed by three points at the half before Jimerson broke out for 16 in the second half to lift the squad.
