<p>Schefter followed his <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1647979054128062466?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> by tweeting that the 24-year-old&#8217;s &#8220;five-year contract extension includes a no-trade clause — a first in Eagles&#8217; history, per source.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Eagles later confirmed Hurts was &#8220;here to stay&#8221; with a post on <a href="https://twitter.com/Eagles/status/1647982366768414724?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>. The team also posted on its <a href="https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-jalen-hurts-contract-extension" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> that it had signed a deal with Hurts for five years through the 2028 season, but other details were not provided.</p>
<p>&#8220;The thing with Jalen that I&#8217;m so optimistic about is he&#8217;s just got this incredible – I&#8217;m not telling you anything you don&#8217;t know here, but seeing him virtually every day, he&#8217;s got an incredible passion for being phenomenal,&#8221; Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said recently at the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix. &#8220;You see that in the great ones. We all know in other sports and with certain quarterbacks in this league, you can define them by their obsession with detail and work ethic.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We always knew Jalen was talented, had a very live arm that we thought was discounted in college because he was such a great runner, and his character was always considered great, but maybe the advantage we had was we really respected his ability to throw the football and that that would improve based on tremendous work ethic,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>In 2020, the Eagles selected Hurts in the second round of the NFL draft. He started four games that season and became the Eagles&#8217; full-time starter the following year. Last season, he led Philadelphia to Super Bowl LVII, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35.</p>

<p>Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce wanted to correct the record about their conversation after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.</p>
<p>During the Kelce brothers&#8217; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C73ZZkFiUM">podcast</a> &#8220;New Heights&#8221; on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> lineman Jason said he was &#8220;misquoted&#8221; in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kelce-brothers-share-three-words-after-chiefs-beat-eagles-in-super-bowl">reports</a> that claimed he told Travis, a tight end for the Chiefs, &#8220;f*** you, congratulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;Uh, I don’t remember that one,'&#8221; Travis commented about the reports. &#8220;I was at a loss for words (when the brothers saw each other on the field), and you didn&#8217;t really say much, but I know you didn&#8217;t say &#8216;f*** you.'&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t say much because I wanted you to go celebrate with your team,&#8221; the Eagles player responded. &#8220;I knew that you were going to feel bad for me and I didn&#8217;t want that. I didn&#8217;t want that to be how you remembered that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, I just kind of made an emphasis to go hug you,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Tell you I love you, congratulations and go be with your teammates. I didn&#8217;t want to be the guy that was going to bring down that moment for you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Eagles star also said he was a bit emotional when his team lost. But he said the waterworks started when he spotted his mom, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/donna-kelce-becomes-first-mom-ever-with-sons-playing-against-each-other-in-super-bowl">Donna Kelce</a>, who was there for both her boys on the world&#8217;s biggest stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;The moment I saw Mom is when I got really emotional, &#8217;cause, man, it was so awesome,&#8221; Jason shared. Then, he paused to compose himself and finished his comment, saying, &#8220;…You know, she was on top of the world for a week.&#8221;</p>

Kelce Brothers Share Three Words After Chiefs Beat Eagles In Super Bowl

General

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A critical call against the Philadelphia Eagles with time running out in the Super Bowl engendered anger among Eagles fans, but the player called for the penalty admitted that he indeed committed the infraction.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">With 1:54 remaining in the game and the score tied at 35-35, the Kansas City Chiefs were sitting with a third and eight on the Eagles’ 15-yard line. As Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes called the signals, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster turned and headed toward the offensive line, then zipped toward the center of the field when the ball was snapped before reversing direction and heading out toward the sideline. Eagles cornerback James Bradberry reached out and briefly grabbed Smith-Schuster’s jersey before the two headed toward the corner of the endzone. Mahomes floated a pass over their heads that fell incomplete, but Bradberry was called for holding, a penalty that gave the Chiefs an automatic first down and a chance to run the clock down to eight seconds before kicking the game-winning field goal.</p>

<p>“The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside,” head referee Carl Cheffers <a href="https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2023/2/13/23597435/holding-call-super-bowl-eagles-chiefs-james-bradberry">explained</a>. “The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide,&#8221; Bradberry <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/eagles-james-bradberry-admits-committing-late-debated-penalty-holding">said</a> after the game. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni dismissed the idea that the call was solely responsible for the loss of the game, saying, “It always appears to be one call. … That is not what it is. So many teams contribute to the result of the game. Today they were better.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But some former NFL players asserted that although the call was technically correct, the time and place of the call was a mistake.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Former NFL Pro Bowler Dwight Freeney tweeted, “They have been making that type of contact with receivers the entire game and there hasn’t been a call… then you wait till that moment to call PI is tough.”</p>

<p>Former NFL punter Pat McAfee <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1624974852145790977">harshly criticized</a> the call, declaring: &#8220;That ref making that holding call at that time at that stage at that game? Super Bowl? Huh? Huh? That wins the game. Game over. Kneel it out. Kick a field goal. You got six seconds left on the whole f***ing clock? It’s over. There’s a chance that Butker makes his field goal, then Eagles are available to move, they’ve scored 35 points doing everything, they go down, they kick a field goal, obviously we have an overtime.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;What I need to say is, hey refs, can&#8217;t f***ing call that there. Okay?&#8221; McAfee continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about you. Now was there a hold? I guess. If you stop and go frame by frame, he had his hands on him, but nonetheless, at that stage? Come on! We were robbed of a potential overtime game in the Super Bowl!&#8221;</p>

<p>Benjamin Allbright pointed out the fact that while he felt the holding call had been excessive, the end result may have been the same regardless. &#8220;It&#8217;s not the Chiefs&#8217; fault that the refs made that laughable call, and they may have won anyway. Congrats to them. But what a poor way for an otherwise great game to end,&#8221; he said.</p>

Chris Stapleton Delivers Moving Rendition Of National Anthem At Super Bowl LVII

Chris Stapleton

<p>Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes discussed Christianity with reporters at a Super Bowl LVII event in Arizona on Monday.</p>
<p>&#8220;My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,&#8221; Mahomes revealed.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Patrick Mahomes says his faith is &quot;part of everything I do&quot;" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jvW_4f3jWJQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Obviously it will be on a huge stage in the Super Bowl that He&#8217;s given me and I want to make sure I&#8217;m glorifying Him while I do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mahomes also spoke about his relationship with God last month after the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship. He had sustained a high-ankle sprain going into the game and praised God for healing the injury in time to play.</p>
<p>&#8220;First off, I wanna thank God, man,&#8221; Mahomes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/super-bowl-bound-chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-praises-god-for-getting-him-there">said</a> after the game. &#8220;He healed my body this week, had to battle through that. He gave me the strength to be out here.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But I was with this team, man,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We played together. I said it from the beginning, when we were in the locker room, I said we gotta be together and this team stepped up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts also praised God following his teams win against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.</p>
<p>&#8220;Only God knows the things that each individual on this team has been able to overcome to come together as a team and do something special,&#8221; Hurts shared at the time.</p>

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Tells Press ‘My Christian Faith Plays A Role In Everything’

<p>Philadelphia Eagles rookie guard <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/eagles-lineman-indicted-for-rape-kidnapping-just-days-ahead-of-super-bowl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Sills</a> has been placed on the NFL&#8217;s Commissioner Exempt List following his indictment earlier this week on two felony charges — rape and kidnapping — and new details about the alleged incident have emerged as well.</p>
<p>Sills&#8217; will remain on that list &#8211; which bars him from playing, practicing, or traveling with the team — until the league conducts a thorough review of the situation in light of the league&#8217;s rules regarding personal conduct. With the Eagles headed to the Super Bowl in just ten days, it seems unlikely that Sills will be taken off the list in time to make the trip.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/01/eagles-ol-josh-sills-allegedly-forced-woman-to-perform-oral-sex-in-truck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published by TMZ Sports, Sills allegedly restrained a woman in his truck in early December of 2019, forcing her to perform oral sex on him after he gave her and a cousin a ride home from a nearby restaurant.</p>
<p>According to the police report, which TMZ obtained, the unnamed woman stated that Sills had driven her and a cousin home — and after her cousin got out of the truck and entered the house, she alleged that Sills grabbed her and pulled her back into the truck. Her statement said the cousin &#8220;did not think anything of it and shut the door and walked into the house.&#8221;</p>
<p>The woman then claimed that Sills had tried to kiss her, grabbing her by the neck and throwing her down on the seat. He allegedly continued to grope her while she fought back and told him &#8220;no&#8221; a number of times.</p>
<p>She said that Sills had pulled her down in his lap then, telling her that &#8220;she was doing this and was not leaving until she did this&#8221; — and allegedly forced her to perform oral sex for about 20 minutes. The police report noted that the woman had a number of injuries following the alleged assault — bruising at the back of her throat and on her inner lip, on her right ear and on the back of her left knee — and that they had taken photos to document everything at the time the report was made.</p>
<p>Sills was indicted on felony rape and kidnapping charges and has been ordered to appear in court on February 16.</p>
<p><a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/02/eagles-josh-sills-forced-woman-to-give-him-oral-sex-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meanwhile</a>, the Philadelphia Eagles issued a statement addressing the issue: &#8220;The organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills. We have been in communication with the league office and are in the process of gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time.&#8221;</p>

Jason, who is an All-Pro center with Philadelphia, heads back for a second time, after being part of the Eagles Super Bowl-winning team in 2018.</p>

<p>The Philadelphia Eagles locked up the National Football Conference (NFC) championship on Sunday, clinching a spot in the upcoming Super Bowl LVII — and someone at the Empire State Building thought that was cause for celebration.</p>
<p>The iconic tower was lit in green and white in honor of the Eagles, and an announcement via Twitter accompanied the lighting change: &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Fly </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@Eagles </span>Fly! We’re going Green and White in honor of the Eagles NFC Championship Victory.&#8221;</p>

<p>But for some New Yorkers, the pain of their Giants losing to the Eagles only a week earlier was a bit too fresh for such celebrations — and they took to Twitter to voice their complaints.</p>
<p>Jesuit priest James Martin <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesMartinSJ/status/1619907840147353600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a>, &#8220;<span class="r-18u37iz">#FlyEaglesFly</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">! But I wouldn&#8217;t want to be the New Yorker responsible for this. They love their </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@Giants </span>here! Yesterday, I walked into my neighborhood gym wearing my <span class="r-18u37iz">@Eagles </span>hat, and the guy behind the desk said, &#8216;They are going to LOSE tomorrow! LOSE!&#8217; Then he said hello.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I can’t wait to read the full oral history of this tweet,&#8221; MSNBC host Chris Hayes <a href="https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1619896383804424192" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.</p>
<p>Former U.S. Congressman — and gubernatorial candidate — Lee Zeldin (R-NY) weighed in as well, saying, &#8220;Please tell me this is because someone who controls the Empire State Building lost a tremendously stupid bet.&#8221;</p>

<p>Later in the evening, after the Kansas City Chiefs nabbed the American Football Conference (AFC) championship, the Empire State Building made another lighting change in their honor.</p>
<p>&#8220;That hurt us more than it hurt you,&#8221; the tweet began, apparently referencing the backlash over the green-and-white lighting. &#8220;We&#8217;re now lit for the @chiefs in honor of their AFC Championship win.&#8221;</p>

New Yorkers Mad After Empire State Building Honors Philadelphia Eagles

New York

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, fed up with ESPN’s SportsCenter after their Instagram page mocked him, exploded with anger, snapping, “F*** you, SportsCenter.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The brouhaha erupted after Simms <a href="https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/chris-simms-sportscenter-instagram-account-f-you-media-beef-01gnvv34tk3s">compared</a> injured Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to other star quarterbacks, saying, “There’s just no way he’s more valuable to his team than Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen. Those teams are not the same teams if they don’t have them at quarterback. If you put Gardner Minshew (in for) the Eagles, they’d still be really damn good.” That prompted the Sportscenter Instagram page to apparently mock Simms’ take after the Eagles subsequently stumbled with Minshew at quarterback.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Jalen Hurts makes them better — I know that!” Simms snapped. “And like f***k you, SportsCenter Instagram for like putting it out there again for like the third time in like three weeks. Like f*** off. Like, really, f*** off, ESPN Sportscenter. Like seriously, they didn’t put my quote from after the Cowboys game, but they’re gonna wait till the game yesterday. That’s why I hate social media, and f*** you ESPN ‘SportsCenter’ one more time on the way out.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“You wait till it’s relevant, you can slam someone —” Simms’ co-host interpolated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"> “Do they not make content there anymore? I mean, stop jocking me, ESPN. Holy s***,” Simms continued.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Then he challenged, “Give me a piece of your check. Invite me on SportsCenter. Let’s have a f***ing conversation if you want to really get into this, SportsCenter. Invite me on, ESPN, you scared little babies. They’re scared. They don’t want any piece of me.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“In his first year since joining ESPN in January 2020, the ‘SportsCenter’ Instagram account attracted record-high engagement with over 20 million followers (up +25% year-over-year), 1.76 billion total actions (+115%), and 373,000 actions per post (up +75%),” Raja’s ESPN bio <a href="https://espnpressroom.com/us/bios/omar-raja/">states</a>. “The account also serves fans at the intersection of sports and culture, attracting the attention and praise from some of the biggest athletes and celebrities in sports and entertainment. Raja also plays a key role in ESPN’s TikTok content strategy, which has grown to over 14 million followers in just two years.”</p>
<p>Hurts’ shoulder was injured in the Dec. 18 game the Eagles played in Chicago against the Chicago Bears.
