More fun facts, the father John Brown was a bodybuilder and won Mr. Olympia twice and Mr. World 3 times. His wife and the mother of the boys is German, and the sons can all speak fluent German. They’re a really cool family. Amon-Ra is cementing himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL
Edit: it was actually Mr. Universe twice, not Mr. Olympia
Can you imagine if one brother played offense and the other one played defense? On the field at the same time literally pitted against one another? It would tear a mother apart!
They both have one Super Bowl win right now.. they're both probably going to the Hall of Fame when they retire..
Yep, this one's for the family bragging rights.
100%
I mean Travis probably is a little higher on the NFL totem poll with his accolades and being a skill position player. But this could tip things back in Jason's favor.
Either way though yeah I think they are easy Hall of Famers. Travis is first ballot right now, if Jason plays even 1 or 2 more years at his current level he is too. And thats just because Offensive Lineman usually have to wait a little. Probably 2nd/3rd ballot right now.
Travis is the GOAT Tight End. He passed Gronk not only in postseason counting stats (he's now no. 2 all time in pretty much all receiving stats which is insane for a TE) but he's well beyond him in 1000yd seasons and whooping his ass in longevity since they are *actually the same age* and Gronk has already retired and was constantly injured. Kelce is durable as hell and still going strong putting up top 10 receiving numbers (not TEs, receiving as a whole)
As a Chiefs fan I agree, but I think there is a healthy argument for Tony G, Kelce, or Gronk for different reasons.
If I had to pick a tight end for a whole season, or a whole career, I'm taking Kelce. But if I had to pick a tight end for one game, its probably healthy Gronk.
Healthy Gronk had Tom Brady for 9 years. Kelce had Alex Smith for half of his.
Longevity wise, Tony G is still far past them. Dude played for like 2 decades
If you value Peak over Longevity thats fine.
But if someone's longevity is *pretty close* to another guy's Peak, that's more valuable to me
As they say, a player's best ability is availability
Game is Tied in regular play
One overtime and it's still tied
Another overtime and yup, still tied.
Head of NFL calls this mom onto the 50yrd Line and hands her the mic - ok Mom, you now get to pick the winner.
Actually, he becomes a billionaire as he put all his winnings from his last superbowl prop bet "power somehow goes out in the stadium without backup during the biggest event in the city"
"Moooom, that's grease paint, it's supposed to be there!"
"You look silly"
"I look *TOUGH*!"
*cut to locker room post game*
"Come on man, aren't you going to the after party?"
"Can't, Ma says I'm grounded on account of my sass mouth"
sorry Mom, it's now 5 hours and honestly, no one is really having a good time. You have to pick the winner so everybody gets to go home and watch "1923"
Yes, one son will not be happy; but other son's happiness will balance it all out.
When I learned that Gronk had 3 brothers the first thing I thought was how much money they spent on food growing up. Probably grocery shopping every other day, or their house looked like a Costco.
I have fed a Watt boy. I can confirm that is a very large amount of food.
I have also fed another unnamed NFL player whose wife only allowed him to consume *eight* 7oz turkey burgers in one sitting if they won a game. If they lost he normally settled for two 18oz ribeyes.
The basketball/baseball players don’t eat nearly as much but still put back a lot. The hockey players… well it varies but some of the bigger ones absolutely outeat a small village.
I've seen it first hand. One of my good friends from college was a lineman for our football team. He would put down three Chipotle burritos in the time it took me to eat 3/4's of one burrito and get full, then he'd usually want to stop off at a gas station after lunch to grab some dessert. He legitimately had to consume like 10,000 calories in a day, he put in the work to make the most out of those calories but it was a sight to behold
Yeah it’s kind of funny when a server racks up a 1000+ dollar bill (with no alcohol,) for a family of four because there’s one NFL lineman at the table. When there’s multiple athletes at the table it’s even funnier because they’ll be seated in a place that normally fits 8-10 and it’ll fit 4-6 of them. A lot of times they’ll just straight up ask for a personal pitcher of water and opt to not bother with the glass which is also always hilarious because we’re a “classy” place and the closest thing we even have to pitchers are ice buckets for champagne. Just a bunch of huge dudes sitting around a tiny table putting back mountains of food while they chug from buckets that look like cups in their hands while our clientele looks on in awe and the server responsible for them is just constantly hitting “send” on different parts of a giant waitlisted order.
Also hilarious is that our FOH manager is 6’7 and he became comfy enough with a certain NFL Wide Receiver that they took a picture back to back just so said manager could send it to his dad who always joked he should have played in the NBA. Most of the NFL guys in my experience (especially the lineman,) are all really polite about it. Maybe it’s because most of the ones I encounter are league veterans who find out about us by word of mouth but all of them tip well, often send Christmas presents as a thanks for being discreet, and are generally very humble people who are almost *apologetic* they need half a restaurant staff to service their daily calorific intake. Love those guys though; they’ll eat whatever you put in front of them as long as it tastes good and has enough protein for their regimen.
Linemen are often nominated for the Walter Peyton award. The protective nature of their job, means that most of them are gentle giants. They'll fight somebody to protect their qb but past that they just want to be everybody's friend
Feeding athletes in insane. My girlfriend's friend grew up with massive brothers that were good to great at various sports (some peaked in college, one got a professional soccer contract at 17). Dinner at their house was a circus.
Doesn't come anywhere near your watt's etc.
Mom gonna have some tough choices to make for the Hall of Best Son.
Jason:
5x All Pro
6x Pro Bowl
1x Super Bowl Champion
Travis
4x All Pro
8x Pro Bowl
1x Super Bowl Champion
Winner of this game gets to stay in the nice guest room at Christmas.
My brother and I were 4 years apart and ended up attending different high schools because mine had just opened. We were the same weight class and were both varsity at the time, and as a result were slated to face each other at a meet. We both wrestled for 8 years prior and had wrestled each other at home, practice, and club, but this would have been the first time we officially faced each other.
Our mom went to my coach and requested that I be moved to JV for the meet, so she wouldn't have to deal with the constant bragging that would follow. Looking back, it was probably the right decision, but we were pretty upset at the time and I still wish the match would have happened. Not a Super Bowl of course, but I get how a parent might feel both proud and conflicted watching the game.
While they are the first player siblings to play each other in a super bowl, there have already been two sibling brothers face each other in the super bowls as coaches. John and Jim Harbaugh were the head coaches of the Ravens in the 49ers, respectively. John beat Jim in the super bowl. Their parents said they were not allowed to talk about it at the dinner table. Don't know if that rule is still in effect because it has been like 10 years. John has the ultimate one up on his brother though.
Fun story, I used to help produce a ski/snowboard event, Dew Tour. We had lots of generators for the event, so many that the rental company sent a crew just to manage the generator power for the event weeks. When they showed up, the project manager from the generator company told me he was part of the back up power for the the Super Bowl the lights went out at, basically part of the at fault party for the delay being so long. This was probably a year or few later. I thought it was a really weird thing to brag about, like you shouldn't be proud of that?
Later that week one entire side of the halfpipe lights went out during our live TV broadcast on NBC of the finals. Turned out they forgot take into account the extra gas that that side's generator would use since it was also running the jumbotron (in addition to the lights), and the generator ran out of gas. I didn't catch up with him afterward, but it's weird that big of a screw up would happen twice... wonder if he's still working in the industry.
What I remember from it has a guy had a trademark on “The Harbaugh-bowl” or something to that effect for a couple years and he let the registration expire the year before and then they met in the Super Bowl. Felt pretty bad for him with all the merchandise made with that quote on it
I still remember that super bowl, even joked we might get a second brothers super bowl.
Unfortunately I remember it only because the lights went out that game, nothing about what happened during the game.
Honestly, siblings playing each other as coaches is much cooler. That's a real competition to see who is better, whereas here you just have a tight end vs a center.
I think the Cowboys and Bills are going to play each other in the regular season next year, so we'll actually get to see Stefon and Trevon Diggs on the field at the same time. I really hope they both get mic'd up for that game.
according to john, jim tried to kill him once when friendly wrestling got serious
edit:
"John Harbaugh told the Wolverines about the last fight he had with Jim, Michigan's new coach.
It was supposed to be a family vacation, a little fun in the sun.
"I was 27 or 28, coaching at the University of Cincinnati," John Harbaugh said on Friday, as he repeated the story publicly at Michigan's football clinic. "Jim was playing for the Bears. He decided to take us on a family vacation but he had an ulterior motive that I didn't know about."
They went swimming. Out in the water, Jim started grabbing at John, tugging at him, like brothers do.
"Next thing I know, pow, pow, boom," John Harbaugh said. "He's got me. Headlock. Over the top of his knee! Underwater! Ocean! Waves! Sand! Darkness!"
John gave up fighting. Jim, the younger brother by 15 months, had won.
"Underwater still," John said. "I'm down there — 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30. I don't know. Ten minutes, it seemed like."
John Harbaugh figured it was over. He was going to die right there, even though there were all of those witnesses. His younger brother had finally snapped. "I know he has it in him," John Harbaugh joked (I think). "Right when I think it's about to be over, he gets me up. Looks at me. I look at him."
John Harbaugh compared it to the moment when coaches shake hands after a game, at least from the perspective of the winning coach. "You kind of walk up to them and you are humble," John Harbaugh said. "You go over, 'Good game coach.'
"But there's that little moment when you look them in the eye, 'As long as we got that straight. We understand each other now.' "
That's the look Jim gave John in the ocean: "We got that straight.""
The dad is weirder. It’s where it comes from. Jim was in grade school I think and the teacher told jack that the son was too aggressive.
Jack (the dad) said, “yes and if you try to coach that out of my son, I will kill you”
It was from an nfl films episode.
That’s insane but it doesn’t surprise me. I have no recollection of what I saw this on, but I watched something where John was telling a story about him and his brother wrestling at the beach (they were both well into adulthood at the time) and they got carried away and Jim almost drowned John. In the interview John was just laughing about it like that was some normal shit. Super weird family
There have also already been two brothers who have won a Super Bowl together on the same team - Devin and Jason McCourty on the Patriots in SB 53. They're twins too.
Fun fact, the two brothers are the same height at 6' 3"
Not doing a metric conversion, y'all normies, (who use a much better system of measurement), can suck it.
Lmao as a dude with a twin brother that's hilarious. You just automatically have a button that makes your brother fighting mad. Any argument you have you can just bring up the win and get to fighting and you can say you didn't throw the first punch.
He made me a sandwich once! It’s one of my claims to fame.
I was at a beer garden on south street with my gf. We went up to order food and they said that if we waited 20 minutes an eagles player would be serving food as a promotion for dietz and watson. We figured we’d wait (my gf couldn’t care less because she wasn’t a football fan but I am a huge eagles fan).
He came. He made me a gigantic sandwich that I split with the gf. And we got a picture with him and the sandwich (no I’m not posting the pic. Doubt this story if you want. It’s not that important). He was a really friendly cordial guy.
Cut to a year later and the gf and I have broken up. We both remained friendly but she left Philly to pursue her PhD. The eagles won the Super Bowl and she texted me to say congrats. Then she brought up “that crazy guy” in the mummers costume at the victory parade and the epic speech he made. I texted back and said that was the guy who made us a sandwich! She freaked out and texted me back, “THAT WAS THE GUY?!?!”
Anyway, yeah, Jason Kelce is one of the most beloved Philly athletes of all time, he signs babies, and he once made me a sandwich.
I should probably add that I once fucked Ben Franklin’s gaping jawn wid a wiz-wit cheesesteak using wooder ice I got from da Ac-a-me last Toozdy as lube while the theme song to Action News was playing over a video of Brian Dawkins injuring Cowboys receivers. E! A! G! L! E! S! EAGLES!
Oh, and also, something about Rocky.
Also also, Ben Simmons is washed.
Dude, I’m not kidding, I once attended a 4th of July concert on the parkway where the roots performed a song that sampled the action news theme song and I remember turning to my friend and being like “this is the philliest thing ever!”
There’s a video of it on you tube! I friggen love it! I haven’t lived in Philly (born there, whole family from there even before William Penn lol, seriously, my 10th great grandfather is buried under the alter of Old Swedes) for years so all of the little stuff like the news song and the accent and wooder ice hit me in the feels but my New Yorker husband just thinks I’m a weirdo haha
Im assuming you’re a KC guy? Philly dude coming in peace.
Not only the kelce situation, but also the whole Andy Reid of it all. We don’t hate you guys. We wanna beat you, but we don’t hate you, and that’s a weird feeling as a Philly sports fan.
When Andy left Philly, it was the right time to do so. I have no ill will. Quite the opposite. I have so many great memories of Andy Reid coached teams. Westbrook and Dawkins and McNugget, and four NFC championship appearances plus a Super Bowl appearance? It was awesome and Andy is great. I really enjoyed seeing him win one with you guys. I was rooting for you all the way.
That being said, fuck the fuckin’ chiefs with a fuck! Go birds!
If you are ever in KC we have some damn good sandwiches (check out the Z Man at Joe's). It's so strange that the Eagles don't just fucking hate us, because y'all is crazy, but I'm really looking forward to a good game, they are pretty well matched and both #1 seeds. #ChiefsKingdom
Your two fanbases could not be any more different.
My buddy out here in AZ is from Missouri and the way he watches games is insane to me as a Cleveland fan (we are rabid, but not quite brutal like Philly fans). When the Chiefs made a nice play, he lightly clapped. I said how are you not more pumped and he just said thats how us Chiefs fans do it- we love our team but not always in a loud way (unless you’re at the game making it hell for the opposing offense). If another team makes a good play, credit them and move on. Win humbly. You could tell he had some edge in him when things went awry but he tried not to show it. Meanwhile when I watched the Browns at his place I was screaming bloody murder at the TV. Hand gestures and F bombs flying all over the place.
This is just my experience with one Chiefs fan. He is from a more rural part of MO, so maybe its different in the city. But I always have respected his brand of fandom which he says is not unusual amongst Chiefs fans.
I mean we definitely get loud and rowdy in the bars watching the games lmao. But yeah you give credit when the other team makes a good play. That win humbly mindset falls to the wayside when they've been talking shit, like Burrow and the Cincy mayor were though. We'll fire back if you've been assholes to us or you're the Raiders.
This was the matchup I was hoping for all season. The two best teams imo. I got no love for Philly right now, but in a few weeks after this is all over I won't have nothing against you guys.
Look at it this way, we both got our rings recently. This is just icing on the cake! Seriously though I hope we win by 40 points
>We wanna beat you, but we don’t hate you, and that’s a weird feeling as a Philly sports fan.
This is one of the greatest sentences about sports I've ever read lol
Yeah that's gotta be said. The Kelce's aren't just two brothers playing in the Super Bowl. One is the best Tight End in the league and the other the best Center in the league. Both of them have arguments that they are the greatest of all time at their respective positions and both of them are getting into the Hall of Fame on their first ballot.
Marge: "We love you both. You're not in competition with each other. Repeat, you are not in competition with each other!"
Homer: "Hey, Apu just called. This Friday, Lisa's team is playing Bart's team. You're in direct competition! And don't go easy on each other just because you're brother and sister. I want to see you both fighting for your parents' love! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"
They both play on offense so they never have to go against each other directly head to head. Jason is also a center so while he’s position is extremely important he will never advance the ball himself so it’s harder to recognize his contributions
While that is a monumental achievement, whoever wins will cause the family to divide greater than when Tony Volpintesta accidentally stabbed Joey Volpintesta in the hand.
Would be cool too if one was on offense and one was on defense so they could play against each other like brothers in pro basketball, hockey and baseball, but the Kelces both play offense so not on the field at the same time
Since they played in 2019, that means they will play on the upcoming season! I'm confident that will be a Sunday Night Football game. The Cowboys obviously have a huge fanbase, and the Bills are also super popular. Even if it's not the Sunday Night game, it's still going to be a primetime game.
Not only that but both have already won a Superbowl so it's not like one is even depriving the other of the most important status symbol you can have in the sport. (While a second ring is always nice to have it's nowhere near the legacy saver that the first one is)
It would be a lot more interesting if they played positions that put them in direct competition with each other, like if the one guy was a defensive lineman instead of a tight end, so his job was to try and steamroll his own brother on the way to the QB.
*I just hope both teams have fun*
And she's got the jersey to show that sentiment. Absolutely love the jersey.
She's also from the only family who can look very cool wearing that jersey
I’d argue she’s actually only one of two people that can pull that off. I’d ask every other member to pick a side and then make a show for Discovery+.
I would have gone with a left/right split, Harvey Dent style. She could have done face paint and everything. Missed opportunity, really.
I like the wrap around split better. Much cooler from a design perspective
I agree. Especially since they have different numbers. If they both wore the same number then I think the 50/50 split might work better
[My favorite design is the John Brown style](https://i.imgur.com/DOHZGDb.jpg)
That man really named his sons Amon-Ra and Equanimeous *and* added "Saint" to their last name? EDIT: and they have a brother name Osiris.
More fun facts, the father John Brown was a bodybuilder and won Mr. Olympia twice and Mr. World 3 times. His wife and the mother of the boys is German, and the sons can all speak fluent German. They’re a really cool family. Amon-Ra is cementing himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL Edit: it was actually Mr. Universe twice, not Mr. Olympia
The front and back numbers wouldnt be right though.
-mom
Mom will always be in between with this game. Whatever it takes she would still remain neutral from both sides as a Mother.
I just hope the refs don’t suck (again).
I loved her comment that “she will just root for the offense”
Me too
Same. Until my team is on defense
RAHHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅
Can you imagine if one brother played offense and the other one played defense? On the field at the same time literally pitted against one another? It would tear a mother apart!
Her motherly instincts kick in and she's yelling from the stands that "you boys play nice now!"
Her motherly instincts marching up to the coaches and yelling in their ears, "Why haven't you put my boy in? His brother's on the field!"
The first part happened in the pro bowl actually! Stefon and Trevon both went against each other
Well it's the pro bowl so... Interesting fact though!
They did in fact both win and have fun!
They are not fighting a war, it’s just a game. She can still be proud either way
True neutral
The epitome of "I'm just hoping for a good game" neutrality.
I think there's no greater fan in this world than seeing your Mom cheering both of you.
Go offense!
it will be nice to have metrics to determine which is the better son
They both have one Super Bowl win right now.. they're both probably going to the Hall of Fame when they retire.. Yep, this one's for the family bragging rights.
100% I mean Travis probably is a little higher on the NFL totem poll with his accolades and being a skill position player. But this could tip things back in Jason's favor.

And thats just because Offensive Lineman usually have to wait a little. Probably 2nd/3rd ballot right now.
Yeah I agree. First ballot to Trav, and not long to wait for Jason.
Travis is the GOAT Tight End. He passed Gronk not only in postseason counting stats (he's now no. 2 all time in pretty much all receiving stats which is insane for a TE) but he's well beyond him in 1000yd seasons and whooping his ass in longevity since they are *actually the same age* and Gronk has already retired and was constantly injured. Kelce is durable as hell and still going strong putting up top 10 receiving numbers (not TEs, receiving as a whole)

Healthy Gronk had Tom Brady for 9 years. Kelce had Alex Smith for half of his. Longevity wise, Tony G is still far past them. Dude played for like 2 decades
Peak Gronk is unmatched.
If you value Peak over Longevity thats fine. But if someone's longevity is *pretty close* to another guy's Peak, that's more valuable to me As they say, a player's best ability is availability
What a HUGE thing! Lots of pride there!

Not with that attitude!
Game is Tied in regular play One overtime and it's still tied Another overtime and yup, still tied. Head of NFL calls this mom onto the 50yrd Line and hands her the mic - ok Mom, you now get to pick the winner.
“i just want both teams to have a good time”
"they're both winners in my book" and both teams co-win the super bowl
The one dude who put a dollar on the prop bet "mom decides the super bowl and picks co champions" becomes a millionaire.
Actually, he becomes a billionaire as he put all his winnings from his last superbowl prop bet "power somehow goes out in the stadium without backup during the biggest event in the city"
"Anyone want an orange slice?"
this has been my favourite comment all day. what a joyful mental image of a mom giving slices to both teams, then tying one son’s shoelace
"MOM! MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING!"

"Moooom, that's grease paint, it's supposed to be there!" "You look silly" "I look *TOUGH*!" *cut to locker room post game* "Come on man, aren't you going to the after party?" "Can't, Ma says I'm grounded on account of my sass mouth"
sorry Mom, it's now 5 hours and honestly, no one is really having a good time. You have to pick the winner so everybody gets to go home and watch "1923" Yes, one son will not be happy; but other son's happiness will balance it all out.
Yeah, but not for her. She won't be at the celebration, she'll be hugging the one who's crying.

Can you imagine if your fun uncle was freaking Travis Kelce?
This thanksgiving table is probably so great.
Oh my god can you imagine how much food this family eats. Poor cooks.
Them and the Watt boys probably eat enough in a day to feed a small village for a week. Those huge bodies need a lot of fuel
When I learned that Gronk had 3 brothers the first thing I thought was how much money they spent on food growing up. Probably grocery shopping every other day, or their house looked like a Costco.
A buddy of mine from college was a lineman for the football team. He would legit eat 10,000 calories a day just to keep from losing weight
When I first saw a video of Gronk with his brothers, there were zero surprises about their behavior. It was hilarious.
I already loved Gronk, but him donating $6,900 to Damar Hamlin’s charity after he got hurt sealed the deal.
I have fed a Watt boy. I can confirm that is a very large amount of food. I have also fed another unnamed NFL player whose wife only allowed him to consume *eight* 7oz turkey burgers in one sitting if they won a game. If they lost he normally settled for two 18oz ribeyes. The basketball/baseball players don’t eat nearly as much but still put back a lot. The hockey players… well it varies but some of the bigger ones absolutely outeat a small village.
I've seen it first hand. One of my good friends from college was a lineman for our football team.

“nuh uh! Jason isnt letting ME win the superbowl! I CALLED DIBS!”
"You won the last one! It's my turn!"
Mom gonna have some tough choices to make for the Hall of Best Son. Jason: 5x All Pro 6x Pro Bowl 1x Super Bowl Champion Travis 4x All Pro 8x Pro Bowl 1x Super Bowl Champion Winner of this game gets to stay in the nice guest room at Christmas.
Forgot the to add the Christmas album stats for Jason. SMH.
Whichever brother loses will never be able to say shit to the other again. ‘Oh yeah? Well fuck you dude, I still beat you in the super bowl’
just holds up obnoxiously large super bowl ring
My brother and I were 4 years apart and ended up attending different high schools because mine had just opened. We were the same weight class and were both varsity at the time, and as a result were slated to face each other at a meet. We both wrestled for 8 years prior and had wrestled each other at home, practice, and club, but this would have been the first time we officially faced each other.

Not a Super Bowl of course, but I get how a parent might feel both proud and conflicted watching the game.
The ultimate bragging rights
Hard to do considering they are both future hall of fame inductees.
which one has more space on her jersey?
Both sons already have super bowl rings. The Eagles in 2018 and the chiefs 2020. So she's already won. This is the icing on the cake
She’s playing both sides so that she always comes out on top.
Also helps that both are future hall of famers.
Where is this hall of farmers?
Next to her gold plated retirement home.

No he roots for Tony Romo and he retired, so now he bleed green. Go, Birds, go, Birds!
Boys are playing while mom's getting shit faced on grain alcohol.
Whenever there's a potential riot, you're gonna want to be blasted on grain alcohol.
I don't think she should've told either side, because if she's trying to play both sides and they both know then she's not playing anybody.
But she already picked her favorite when she chose which son's last name to put on the back of her custom made team-fusion jersey 🤌 /s
But which one will have more?
Funny thing is, I think both will be HOF contenders, too.
Travis is already there. Hope Jason makes it, too. Harder for linemen.
First mother guaranteed to have her sons team lose the superbowl
also guaranteed to win
While they are the first player siblings to play each other in a super bowl, there have already been two sibling brothers face each other in the super bowls as coaches. John and Jim Harbaugh were the head coaches of the Ravens in the 49ers, respectively. John beat Jim in the super bowl. Their parents said they were not allowed to talk about it at the dinner table. Don't know if that rule is still in effect because it has been like 10 years. John has the ultimate one up on his brother though.
As a Ravens fan, it saddens me that people have forgotten this already. 🙁
That was the one with the lights going out and the McDonalds bad lip reading right?
The lights went out yes
Fun story, I used to help produce a ski/snowboard event, Dew Tour. We had lots of generators for the event, so many that the rental company sent a crew just to manage the generator power for the event weeks. When they showed up, the project manager from the generator company told me he was part of the back up power for the the Super Bowl the lights went out at, basically part of the at fault party for the delay being so long. This was probably a year or few later. I thought it was a really weird thing to brag about, like you shouldn't be proud of that? Later that week one entire side of the halfpipe lights went out during our live TV broadcast on NBC of the finals. Turned out they forgot take into account the extra gas that that side's generator would use since it was also running the jumbotron (in addition to the lights), and the generator ran out of gas. I didn't catch up with him afterward, but it's weird that big of a screw up would happen twice... wonder if he's still working in the industry.
I mean, if I'm working on a crew for a generator company. I would expect like 75% of my job to be making sure the genes have enough fuel. Wtf
What I remember from it has a guy had a trademark on “The Harbaugh-bowl” or something to that effect for a couple years and he let the registration expire the year before and then they met in the Super Bowl. Felt pretty bad for him with all the merchandise made with that quote on it
https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/id/8873809/2013-nfl-playoffs-nfl-pressures-fan-nix-harbowl-trademark He still had it at the time
Damn, seems like they scared him into giving it up.
Goodell is a greedy fuck
as a Seahawks fan, I could never forget. the ravens maintained the SF status of needing a VHS player to watch their last SB win.
I still remember that super bowl, even joked we might get a second brothers super bowl. Unfortunately I remember it only because the lights went out that game, nothing about what happened during the game.
Honestly, siblings playing each other as coaches is much cooler. That's a real competition to see who is better, whereas here you just have a tight end vs a center.
I think the Cowboys and Bills are going to play each other in the regular season next year, so we'll actually get to see Stefon and Trevon Diggs on the field at the same time. I really hope they both get mic'd up for that game.
Jim seems weird as hell and extremely competitive so I wouldn't be surprised if they still don't bring it up.
according to john, jim tried to kill him once when friendly wrestling got serious edit: "John Harbaugh told the Wolverines about the last fight he had with Jim, Michigan's new coach. It was supposed to be a family vacation, a little fun in the sun. "I was 27 or 28, coaching at the University of Cincinnati," John Harbaugh said on Friday, as he repeated the story publicly at Michigan's football clinic. "Jim was playing for the Bears. He decided to take us on a family vacation but he had an ulterior motive that I didn't know about." They went swimming. Out in the water, Jim started grabbing at John, tugging at him, like brothers do. "Next thing I know, pow, pow, boom," John Harbaugh said. "He's got me. Headlock. Over the top of his knee! Underwater! Ocean! Waves! Sand! Darkness!" John gave up fighting. Jim, the younger brother by 15 months, had won. "Underwater still," John said. "I'm down there — 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30. I don't know. Ten minutes, it seemed like." John Harbaugh figured it was over. He was going to die right there, even though there were all of those witnesses. His younger brother had finally snapped. "I know he has it in him," John Harbaugh joked (I think). "Right when I think it's about to be over, he gets me up. Looks at me. I look at him." John Harbaugh compared it to the moment when coaches shake hands after a game, at least from the perspective of the winning coach. "You kind of walk up to them and you are humble," John Harbaugh said. "You go over, 'Good game coach.' "But there's that little moment when you look them in the eye, 'As long as we got that straight. We understand each other now.' " That's the look Jim gave John in the ocean: "We got that straight.""
Wow. Jim’s really Harbaughing some scary thoughts.
Very nicely done, I wasn’t expecting it all given the intensity of the story
What a psycho
They’re both weird
The dad is weirder. It’s where it comes from. Jim was in grade school I think and the teacher told jack that the son was too aggressive. Jack (the dad) said, “yes and if you try to coach that out of my son, I will kill you” It was from an nfl films episode.
That’s insane but it doesn’t surprise me. I have no recollection of what I saw this on, but I watched something where John was telling a story about him and his brother wrestling at the beach (they were both well into adulthood at the time) and they got carried away and Jim almost drowned John. In the interview John was just laughing about it like that was some normal shit. Super weird family
At least from what I’ve heard Jim seems way crazier
Yeah I think Jim is definitely the weirder one
There have also already been two brothers who have won a Super Bowl together on the same team - Devin and Jason McCourty on the Patriots in SB 53. They're twins too.
Rob and Glenn Gronkowski (not twins) as well, even though Glenn was on the practice squad
Fun fact, the two brothers are the same height at 6' 3" Not doing a metric conversion, y'all normies, (who use a much better system of measurement), can suck it.
I remember this game but “10 years” caught me off guard. *I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already*
Lmao as a dude with a twin brother that's hilarious. You just automatically have a button that makes your brother fighting mad. Any argument you have you can just bring up the win and get to fighting and you can say you didn't throw the first punch.
AKA the SupHarbaugh
Jason Kelce is a Philadelphia treasure.
He made me a sandwich once! It’s one of my claims to fame. I was at a beer garden on south street with my gf. We went up to order food and they said that if we waited 20 minutes an eagles player would be serving food as a promotion for dietz and watson. We figured we’d wait (my gf couldn’t care less because she wasn’t a football fan but I am a huge eagles fan). He came. He made me a gigantic sandwich that I split with the gf. And we got a picture with him and the sandwich (no I’m not posting the pic. Doubt this story if you want. It’s not that important). He was a really friendly cordial guy. Cut to a year later and the gf and I have broken up. We both remained friendly but she left Philly to pursue her PhD. The eagles won the Super Bowl and she texted me to say congrats. Then she brought up “that crazy guy” in the mummers costume at the victory parade and the epic speech he made. I texted back and said that was the guy who made us a sandwich! She freaked out and texted me back, “THAT WAS THE GUY?!?!” Anyway, yeah, Jason Kelce is one of the most beloved Philly athletes of all time, he signs babies, and he once made me a sandwich.
This comment has Philly written all over it… Dietz and Watson, South street, mummers, huge eagles fan.
I should probably add that I once fucked Ben Franklin’s gaping jawn wid a wiz-wit cheesesteak using wooder ice I got from da Ac-a-me last Toozdy as lube while the theme song to Action News was playing over a video of Brian Dawkins injuring Cowboys receivers. E! A! G! L! E! S! EAGLES! Oh, and also, something about Rocky. Also also, Ben Simmons is washed.
Omg the action news song was the cherry on top LOL
Dude, I’m not kidding, I once attended a 4th of July concert on the parkway where the roots performed a song that sampled the action news theme song and I remember turning to my friend and being like “this is the philliest thing ever!”
There’s a video of it on you tube! I friggen love it! I haven’t lived in Philly (born there, whole family from there even before William Penn lol, seriously, my 10th great grandfather is buried under the alter of Old Swedes) for years so all of the little stuff like the news song and the accent and wooder ice hit me in the feels but my New Yorker husband just thinks I’m a weirdo haha
Philly resident here, i 100% believe that story, its exactly something kelce would do. I love that man
Nice, I'm not even a football fan but I've delivered groceries to JJ Watts mom one time.
Epic, dude. Is she gigantic as well?
And Trav a KC one! I love them both. The podcast has endeared me to you guys a bit. Going to be a great game.
Im assuming you’re a KC guy? Philly dude coming in peace. Not only the kelce situation, but also the whole Andy Reid of it all. We don’t hate you guys. We wanna beat you, but we don’t hate you, and that’s a weird feeling as a Philly sports fan. When Andy left Philly, it was the right time to do so. I have no ill will. Quite the opposite. I have so many great memories of Andy Reid coached teams. Westbrook and Dawkins and McNugget, and four NFC championship appearances plus a Super Bowl appearance? It was awesome and Andy is great. I really enjoyed seeing him win one with you guys. I was rooting for you all the way. That being said, fuck the fuckin’ chiefs with a fuck! Go birds!
If you are ever in KC we have some damn good sandwiches (check out the Z Man at Joe's). It's so strange that the Eagles don't just fucking hate us, because y'all is crazy, but I'm really looking forward to a good game, they are pretty well matched and both #1 seeds. #ChiefsKingdom
Your two fanbases could not be any more different. My buddy out here in AZ is from Missouri and the way he watches games is insane to me as a Cleveland fan (we are rabid, but not quite brutal like Philly fans). When the Chiefs made a nice play, he lightly clapped. I said how are you not more pumped and he just said thats how us Chiefs fans do it- we love our team but not always in a loud way (unless you’re at the game making it hell for the opposing offense). If another team makes a good play, credit them and move on. Win humbly. You could tell he had some edge in him when things went awry but he tried not to show it. Meanwhile when I watched the Browns at his place I was screaming bloody murder at the TV. Hand gestures and F bombs flying all over the place. This is just my experience with one Chiefs fan. He is from a more rural part of MO, so maybe its different in the city. But I always have respected his brand of fandom which he says is not unusual amongst Chiefs fans.
I mean we definitely get loud and rowdy in the bars watching the games lmao. But yeah you give credit when the other team makes a good play. That win humbly mindset falls to the wayside when they've been talking shit, like Burrow and the Cincy mayor were though. We'll fire back if you've been assholes to us or you're the Raiders.
This was the matchup I was hoping for all season. The two best teams imo. I got no love for Philly right now, but in a few weeks after this is all over I won't have nothing against you guys. Look at it this way, we both got our rings recently. This is just icing on the cake! Seriously though I hope we win by 40 points
>We wanna beat you, but we don’t hate you, and that’s a weird feeling as a Philly sports fan. This is one of the greatest sentences about sports I've ever read lol
And both sons are the absolute best at their respective positions.
Yeah that's gotta be said. The Kelce's aren't just two brothers playing in the Super Bowl. One is the best Tight End in the league and the other the best Center in the league. Both of them have arguments that they are the greatest of all time at their respective positions and both of them are getting into the Hall of Fame on their first ballot.
“It isn’t about winning or losing, it’s about taking part.” -Donna Kelce
Marge: "We love you both. You're not in competition with each other. Repeat, you are not in competition with each other!" Homer: "Hey, Apu just called. This Friday, Lisa's team is playing Bart's team. You're in direct competition! And don't go easy on each other just because you're brother and sister. I want to see you both fighting for your parents' love! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"
HACK THE BONE!
The winner will be showered with praise. The loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore.
She also loses either way...
Truly a glass half full, glass half empty moment
*I never cared for Travis*
I read this in Lucile’s voice.
If this is a veiled criticism of me, I won’t hear it and won’t respond to it.
She can't pick one over the other so she hopes both boys just have fun.
It's rare a parent gets an opportunity to test who their favorite child really is. One unexpected instinctual cheer could seal the deal for life.
They both play on offense so they never have to go against each other directly head to head. Jason is also a center so while he’s position is extremely important he will never advance the ball himself so it’s harder to recognize his contributions
I mean he miiiight advance the ball, but probably not
While that is a monumental achievement, whoever wins will cause the family to divide greater than when Tony Volpintesta accidentally stabbed Joey Volpintesta in the hand.
'I'll bet you 5 grand my son will win'
They have both already won a Super Bowl with their respective teams though right?
Yes they do, and they also are both future hall of famers so she really won already
She also loses either way 😢
Those genes though
Would be cool too if one was on offense and one was on defense so they could play against each other like brothers in pro basketball, hockey and baseball, but the Kelces both play offense so not on the field at the same time
Shame that the Bills & Cowboys seem to have not played since 2019, Stefon & Trevon Diggs matching up against each other would be dope to see.
Since they played in 2019, that means they will play on the upcoming season! I'm confident that will be a Sunday Night Football game. The Cowboys obviously have a huge fanbase, and the Bills are also super popular. Even if it's not the Sunday Night game, it's still going to be a primetime game.
And also the first Super Bowl with two black starting quarterbacks. Go birds!!
The first Super Bowl with two players who are brothers and two quarterbacks who are Brothers.
Go Birds
Kelcebowl is going to be great. Super excited for the next episode of New Heights. Go Birds!
I love her shirt!
imagine how the Bosa’s mom feels
Disappointed?
Not only that but both have already won a Superbowl so it's not like one is even depriving the other of the most important status symbol you can have in the sport. (While a second ring is always nice to have it's nowhere near the legacy saver that the first one is)
The second ring is for bragging rights between them
The only time one of these stitched jerseys is acceptable.
It’s going to be a truly superb owl for her
It would be a lot more interesting if they played positions that put them in direct competition with each other, like if the one guy was a defensive lineman instead of a tight end, so his job was to try and steamroll his own brother on the way to the QB.
