Episode 23 The NFL Show

And it will be time for these teams

to sell that between the white line.

He will fire towards the end zone.

Montana throws.

Touchdown. Looking

downfield.

A one-man wrecking crew.

Unbelievable.

How did he do that?

For the win! Unstoppable.

Hello and

welcome to The NFL Show, we are in

Minnesota for a Super Bowl LII, the

New England Patriots against the

Philadelphia Eagles in that stadium

and with B in temperatures currently

at -20 degrees, Osi Umenyiora and

Jason Bell. Are you all right?

Looking forward to this. Would you

like to get on with the show? Let's

do that.

This is the main event in the

sporting world.

Throws it. Touchdown! The Patriots

are bound for Super Bowl 50 two.

Nick Foles able to get away and

throw. The Eagles are heading for

the Super Bowl.

I would not believe

any of it. The Eagles are the

underdogs again.

Super Bowl XXX

nine. Touchdown Patriots.

nine. Touchdown Patriots. There will

be no parade.

be no parade. The Eagles have an

incredible defense.

incredible defense.

It is the

dynasty versus the dogs.

As it is far too cold to have a

sensible discussion we have moved

inside to discuss Super Bowl LII,

during the course of our chat, you

will see many Americans making a

pig's ear of trying to kick a field

goal. They cannot do it. It goes

more into the fans queueing than

between the sticks. You have been

here all week, what has the feeling

that being like in Minnesota?

Cold.

A bunch of excitement. People are

excited, the matchup of these teams,

people cannot wait to watch it.

I

have also found, in the shortest

time that I have been here, there is

still a lot of regret around the

city. Whilst they are excited to

have the Super Bowl, they do not

have their own team in it.

You can

feel it. I have seen a lot of Eagles

fans get booed. It is tough. It

sucks, they were right there.

No,

they weren't right there!

They got

hammered!

You are right. Can you

understand how difficult it is?

I

think there was a lot of excitement

because no one had ever played a

whole Super Bowl and this was the

team closes to doing it and a lot of

people are disappointed and angry.

They did have a pretty good season.

Is is still a Super Bowl in. They

are doing a good job, they are being

humble -- it is still a Super Bowl

in their city. We went to dinner, I

feel bad for them.

I wish you had

mentioned that you have got friends

in the Vikings and we could have got

some insight. Five minutes into the

show and he is talking about his

friends. That is the last mention of

his friends, this is what is coming

up tonight. We will talk more about

the Patriots and the Eagles, we have

an interview with Gareth Southgate

who is over for the game and we will

talk with Willie McGuinness and we

will look forward to the half-time

show. First tonight, to the opening

night of the Super Bowl, the big

media event, these two were in their

element.

The AFC champions, the New

England Patriots, the Philadelphia

Eagles.

Eagles.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are

here at the media night for the

Super Bowl. This is incredible. This

plays is crazy, packed, Jason's best

friend Tom Brady is somewhere in

that mayhem over there and we will

get to him later. We cannot even get

close. They have got him secure like

the President. He has his gloves on,

all this stuff going on, we will

bring you the best bits of what is

happening here on media day.

This is

how it is, every year at Super Bowl,

Osi and friends. Osi and friends.

How are you? I had to pick your

brain, this guy was pretty awesome

in the Super Bowl.

This is a team

that is playing with a chip on their

shoulder. Doug Peterson behind us.

He has experience as a player. What

do you think he is saying to his

guys about this game?

He is trying

to tell them to keep calm and carry

on, like they do in England.

Keep

doing what they are doing. They

looked excited to be here, a little

different when New England came up.

New England were chilled and

relaxed.

Say hello to the boys in

England. If you guys win this, it

will be three.

I am trying to win as

many as God is willing to allow me

to win. I am 39 years old, the older

you get in this league, the more

doubts you have.

There is no

underdogs in the Super Bowl, they

are 13-3. They had an incredible

season.

I do not buy any of that. I

just show you shake Bill Belichick's

hand who you called the greatest

coach in all sports.

I never

actually had a conversation with you

before, I wanted to shake your hand.

Thank you. Good luck. I was happy to

it I was able to get a smile out of

Batman.

That smile was genuine,

there is some love there. -- Michael

out of Batman.

I have seen him laugh

or smile two times, both actors

Super Bowl wins.

Jake Connor you

have the entire UK on your back

right now, how does that feel?

You're on the cusp of being another

Super Bowl winner. It is a blessing.

I have come from the UK to hear, now

beam in the Super Bowl. You do not

get to the Super Bowl by accident,

it is a lot of hard work, our goal

of achieving it is right here.

You

have to go and get it. My two keys

to this game are Fletcher Cox...

It

will take the front four guys to

win.

And you as well. You will have

to play the game of your life, Jay.

How do you feel with that pressure?

I have to go out there. Don't be

tackled by anyone. The player will

come to you. Play ball like we

always do.

Get the freight train

rolling. I am so excited, bring it

home.

We'll do.

These are Jay A's

glasses.

glasses.

Thank you to Jay Ajayi. My

energy is focused where it needs to

be. Mentally, emotionally,

physically. What I want to do the

best job I can.

The great man spoke

to you and shirk your hand, Bill

Belichick.

When I shook his hand, I

felt some of his greatness -- and

shook your hand. What an incredible

coach that guy is.

Getting here

is... Winning is the only thing that

matters but getting here firstly is

the most important thing. We saw in

the AFC Championship how he put the

trophy to one side, maybe he is more

relaxed now he is here.

I think he

had to give a little bit on media

day, but that was a moment. I stood

there, they locked eyes, I thought

they were going to hug. He went and

shook his hand and I loved it.

If

you follow the Jason Bell routing,

now

here's your friend.

1000%. When you

told Jay Ajayi it is all on hemp,

what do you mean by that? Were you

trying to intimidate him? Because he

is from England and I want him to

succeed, I might have put a little

bit too much pressure on him, a

little bit too much pressure on him,

but he will have to run the ball

hard which he does anyway. They do

not want Tom Brady to be on the

field and they more of the run the

ball, the more they keep Tom Brady

off the field.

Plenty more on the

Eagles later but we will start by

focusing on the Patriots. The

regular season record was 13 and

three and that meant that going into

the playoffs they were the number

one seed.

the playoffs they were the number

one seed.

Welcome to the Gillette

Stadium for this divisional playoff.

Left corner of the end zone.

Davies,

Touchdown, Patriots!

Touchdown, Patriots!

What a throw!

Superhuman! Tom Brady, a once in a

generation player. The Patriots,

trying to reach football's ground is

going for the third time in four

years -- grandest game.

The pages are bound for Super Bowl

LII. -- the Patriots.

First the

insight into this Patriot way from

their former player, Willie

McGuinness.

Here is a man who needs

no introduction, my man, Willie

McGuinness, my real friends as I

would like to say. This is my real

friend.

He is verified.

We need to

talk to you about the New England

Patriot way, can you explain what

this means?

Everyone always put

emphasis on it, but it just needs

players to buy into it and you guys

had this with the Giants and you

understand, if you get a group of

men who believe in one way and put

team success over individual

success, it is not about you. Your

role may change from week to week

and your responsibilities may

change, but you will have success,

you will win football games, 15 to

20 years of sustained excellence.

It

baffles my mind, I do not understand

how you guys have been so successful

for so long.

When you talk about the

success, I think it starts at the

top.

They need to make sure they

have no wants or needs as far as

preparing for football games and

then you have Bill Belichick who is

pretty much the cheese, he runs the

entire football operations. There

are some players, we know those type

of players, they are comprised of a

group of my -- of men,, but they

have unique abilities and the

coaches and staff know how to use

those abilities and guys buy into

it.

Is Bill Belichick the greatest coach

of all time?

I think they should

change the name of the Lombardi

Trophy, I absolutely do. To be able

to win and plug players in and

change the system on a weekly basis

and play at a certain level. I can

go on for days. I think he's the

best coach ever.

I appreciate it. We

Babin I want to say this, I want to

come to London and do a show guy --

and issue on your guys' turf.

Appreciated.

If Willie comes on the

show is that to replace one of you

or just an addition?

I will 100% --

step aside temporarily for him.

There's loads to get into allowing

that interview. The Patriot way,

he's not the first person I've heard

talk about the theory that when the

players go there they buy into being

told what to do, because they know

that's successful.

When you are

around a team or a franchise or

coach who keeps winning over and

over again, it's not about you

anymore. You are not the star. They

can win, with or without you. As

soon as you go there you buy into

what they are preaching.

Is it

unique?

Definitely, it's a culture

there. He's been there so long and

has been able to implement that

strategy. You don't know what your

role is week to week, so you have to

believe he'll put you in the right

direction.

After your first Super

Bowl when were you more rope into

being told what to do because you

knew it and worked to win you the

first Super Bowl?

Not me! That's

different, that's a different

situation will stop I think with New

England they've just won so many

Super Bowl is, they've done so many

great things, but if you're going

into that situation you know the

score. You just fall in line.

Can

you see a situation whereas Willie

said in the interview it stops being

the Lombardi Trophy and it

becomes... Blimey, I'm still

slightly concerned that a member of

the production team shortly will

land the ball on my head, just

because they can!

You are looking so

slim, I don't want anything to hit

you, you are looking frail.

Are you

being sincere, or sarcastic? I just

involuntarily breathed in there.

Back to the point, the Lombardi

Trophy now, Willie McGinest says it

could be the Belichick Trophy, can

it?

Surely come. The greatest coach

of all time, what he's done over

these years is amazing.

What we've

seen him do is unprecedented. The

free agency, it's ridiculously --

it's ridiculously keeps winning over

and over again. It should be named

the Bill Belichick Trophy.

We've had

a Patriots chat without mentioning

Bill Brady. We'll leave it

overnight. The Eagles were the

number one seeds in the NFC after a

13-3 record in the regular season

but they weren't the favourites

because of injury to their

quarterback, Carson was.

quarterback, Carson was. -- Carson

Wentz.

Opportunity!

Wentz.

Opportunity!

Here, fellows.

One going outside, he's in,

touchdown.

In the end zone. What a

play.

play.

I can't stop.

Jay Ajayi takes

this bring down the 50-yard line.

Ryan is throwing it up in the air.

It's a play!

They are one win away

from the Super Bowl.

from the Super Bowl.

After a 13 year

wait there's nothing like it.

It

gives you chills.

Boom! Vikings,

Eagles, NFC title game is in the

air.

Here comes the rush, it

intercepted and picked off by

Robinson. Touchdown.

Nick Foles

looks very, very confident. In Nick

we trust.

Touchdown.

The

Philadelphia Eagles and the

Minnesota Vikings, out in the NFC

Championship Game.

And its

touchdown!

A beautiful throw to the

pylon in front of the end zone.

You

have to credit these folks.

Deep in

the end zone, touchdown.

For the

first time in 13 years the Eagles

are headed for the Super Bowl.

So

everybody I talk to around Minnesota

and everything I read is this all

depends on which Nick Foles turns up

for Philadelphia, whether it's the

Nick Foles of the start of the

playoff As, or the Nick Foles who

demolished Minnesota. Is that right?

That's right, he has to play lights

out for them to win this game

because they will try to stop the

run of the New England Patriots and

force him to throw the ball. They

will make him make those tight

window throws.

I don't know what the

debate is. Nick Foles is a good

quarterback, he's been a good

quarterback before now. Because he

hadn't played all season he had to

get the timing with the receivers

and you saw him do that over the

last couple of games. I think you'll

have a good game.

What is it about

it for you for Philadelphia, it's

not about which Nick Foles turns up.

It's Ikeme generate enough pressure

on Tom Brady and make him

uncomfortable. -- it's can they

generate enough pressure. Tom Brady

doesn't like pressure in the middle.

The pressure of the middle is what

he has had failings with especially

one who was playing against us and

the Philadelphia Eagles had the

interior defensive lineman to get

after him but ultimately they have

to score points.

They have to score

points, that's why Nick Foles needs

a good game.

They only scored 17.

You scored 17.

How much store in

saying the Guarin blog paid for the

Patriots last year, JJ played for

Miami, how much do you say the

Patriots defense should know what

the running backs are capable

because they've played them so much

played with them?

They'll know but

it depends on the scheme, not

directly about how the running backs

will run. It's about the scheme

against the New England Patriots and

it will be a different scheme than

they've been accustomed to seeing.

Give me a word on Doug Peterson, the

Philadelphia Eagles head coach and

what he has done with that

franchise.

What a great coach. I

like that he was a player and then

he coached high school which is why

I thinking relates to those players

so well. He relates to the young

guys and obviously he gets

quarterbacks ready to play and

that's huge.

But he's a good play

caller as well.

Being a quarterback

it's like you are coach on the field

and he has the skill set where he

sees it as a coach but he was a

player.

We've spoken about Bill

Belichick and Peterson, so let's get

more insight on to the

more insight on to the coaching side

of things. The England football

manager, as in our football, Gareth

Southgate, is in town for the Super

Bowl. We caught up with him earlier

this week.

When you go to the Super Bowl as a

fan, or will you be in work mode

watching what's going on on the

sideline?

Yeah, you're always in

work mode because there's always

something that you're picking up on.

Obviously it's such a tactical game,

with so many set piece moves and

managing of the game, the players on

the field, people like Bill

Belichick is a masterclass of

everything, really. We are different

as a sport because there aren't as

many positions. Last year I went to

Oregon University and they were

showing as behind-the-scenes, where

every position on the field had its

own meeting room. There was a wing

of defensive meeting rooms on the

wing of attacking meeting rooms, and

you're talking one coach to four or

five players or maybe less. So I

don't think we'll ever go to that

number because you're not dealing

with the number of different

specific positions perhaps, but I

remember some coaches I worked with

years ago saying we're going to go

more towards American model over the

years and that's happening now with

salaries of players and the way that

you're having to deal with that

dynamic. I think it will head that

way with coaching as well.

I think

sometimes there's a greater

understanding of the head coach in

the NFL than in the Premier League

football generally here because they

are miked. Would you like that?

If

everybody doing it. I'm not sure I

want to be a trial!

If Bill

Belichick was sat here what question

would you ask him?

It would be, I

think there's so many areas that you

want to go on so many experiences

you'd want to pick into, so the size

of the group you are dealing with

and how do you keep everybody staff

and players on the same page and

focused on one game? It would be a

masterclass, I'm sure.

You when

you're in the stadium watching the

game, will a part of you as a

professional wish you were wrong one

of the sidelines?

A good question. I

think when you're any big event and

you've been a performer, or you've

been a coach, then you'd love to be

in the middle of it and feeling what

it's like. But also sometimes it's

quite nice to watch other people

suffer!

LAUGHTER

Let's move it on from the coaching

that. Let's move it on from the game

itself because one of the things

that everybody in America looks

forward to, and at home as well, is

the half-time show and the

commercials. We don't show the

commercials. You do.

My half-time

show dance, I have the music in my

head.

I'm pretty sure Justin

Timberlake doesn't do that dance.

I'm pretty sure it's not what he

does.

He sang to Lady Gaga about a

year ago. Having said we weren't

going to mention you being

friends...

OK, OK.

You note Justin

Timberlake?

I've hung out with him a

couple of times, we share a mutual

friend. Great guide, a lot taller

than you think.

Is he?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's see how his album sales do

this year then we'll know if he's a

friend.

friend.

Moving back to the football,

shall we? Where will be and lost?

The line of scrimmage. The last team

that beat the Patriots in the

playoffs was the Denver Broncos and

they did it with pressure, brushing

over. It's always going to be about

pressuring John Brake -- Tom Brady.

If they'd can do that they have a

chance of winning the game.

Whoever

doesn't turn the ball over, it's

going to be a tight game and

something is going to happen on

Special Teams, trust me, trust me.

Why?

You have to win two of the

phases and right now it's so

competitive it's the team that wins

those Special Teams and wins the

field position battle will win the

game.

When we were at the Super Bowl

last year there was an Atlanta --

argument that Atlanta tired in the

fourth quarter and their defense

just tired mentally at the very

least and crumbled a bit. What can

Billy's defense do to make sure they

don't have an Atlanta moment?

They

have to train for that situation.

Throughout this week they have to

run extra conditioning, a bunch of

things you can do. Mentally you have

to know going into the game the New

England Patriots have the ability to

comeback against you so you prepare

yourself for that, you will be

better off.

Definitely, because they

have irritating defensive line it

will help them but Tom Brady can get

the up-tempo friends to keep the

guys on the field so they will have

to be well conditioned.

Saturday

night before a Super Bowl of a

Sunday, what are you doing?

Nothing,

sitting in my room, especially

playing the pitches, seething with

anger because I was so mad at the

attention New England was getting at

the lack of attention we were

getting and so I was sitting

relaxing, preparing myself mentally

will stop

and if Philadelphia follow

that melted all the way through the

playoffs they've Juan Mata --

they've warmed their dog masks,

built up an underdog culture despite

being the number one seeds and

that's helped them so far. Do you

thing it will help them tomorrow?

I

think it will help them as long as

they are in the game, because if

they feel like Tom Brady is being

Tom Brady they might fold under the

pressure. You never know until

you're there and you they haven't

been there.

Predictions. Who would

like to go first?

I'll go first.

I

would never pick against the New

England Patriots unless they're

playing the New York Times because

we are the only team who have

consistently beaten them. There's

something about this Philadelphia

team, I'm leaning towards the

Philadelphia Eagles. I'm going to

have to go with the Eagles.

You're

going with the Eagles. Fight

as hard

as it is for me to say because you

know my feelings about the

Philadelphia Eagles.

It's a good

call, but you're going to be wrong,

but I think the Patriots will pull

it out. I have faith in Tom terrific

but it's going to be a close game.

I'm excited.

Are you betting against

me again?

I'm betting against you

for one last final time!

Let's do

it!

Is there a forfeit for who gets

it wrong? When we do the review

show, will you be a T-shirt outside?

No T-shirts! No T-shirts! The Super

Bowl live on BBC One from 11:15pm,

straight after Match of the Day 2

wheel round up everything,

straight after Match of the Day 2

wheel round up everything, the

reaction, the thoughts of everyone

will be on BBC Two, 11:15pm on

Monday evening. All we need now is

the game. If we plan this to end I'd

ask you to both go and take a kick.

No. My hamstring.

ask you to both go and take a kick.

No. My hamstring.
