Dianna Russini

senior NFL insider for The Athletic, owned by The New York Times, would like to attend the NFC Championship game. Um... but he feels that he needs to go. So this is the first sign. He has not said it, but I just know what this is, that he's going to come home tonight and think that this puts me in a good mood. I obviously have a very low bar for what I accept in this home, that this gets it done.

Like a dumb peanut butter and jelly mug can work me, but he knows. And he worked me on Sunday and he's going to probably do it again this week.

I don't know if it's cool. It's very procedural. It's very logistic. We have two kids, obviously, as you know. So we are trying to make this work. We actually say this all the time of like, we just got to get through the day. And then when the babies go to bed, then it's our time. Guess what our time is? Yeah, nothing. Me in the basement tweeting. Yeah. Him upstairs watching Netflix.

Yeah. And asking me if I spoke to Saquon or if Jalen texted me back, you know, like just like actually has the nerve right now to ask some injury updates to through this.

i've always said that i always thought this fan base didn't necessarily care about the name on the back of the jersey they care about the philadelphia eagle emblem on the on the front that's all they care about it's just about the eagles it doesn't matter who's in that helmet even though they love their athletes and they say they do and you know when bryce harper enters any room it's like Crazy.

Whoever their star player is, Saquon right now at this moment. To them, though, it's it's just about Philadelphia winning no matter what it takes. And the Sirianni argument, especially in this house, has been so up and down because. Kevin is a lot like Stu when it comes to him. He's like, the guy wins. I don't care if you think he's not the greatest coach.

I don't care if you think Sean McVay could run laps around him when it comes to game management and coaching decisions and locker room and culture and all the great things that come with Sean McVay. He's like, he won the game. That's all that matters. And I kind of think that that's just like a small microcosm of how Eagles fans do it. And it is a religion. I married into it. So I didn't,

I've told you guys on this show before, I grew up, I was a big Yankees fan. We're a baseball family. But the level of this, it's so committed that just think about the situation I have in my house. It is my job to cover football.

And I'm actually considering not doing that job because I understand the importance that it is for him to attend this and watch this in person because I know how much it means to him.

You know, I think for our overall happiness at this point, attending that game with his father and brothers is probably more important than me talking to A.J. Brown after the game. I have to weigh it. You guys know my style. I'm a boots-on-the-ground kind of reporter. I left ESPN for the Athletic. Right, so my career's a little different now. I'm not at the games as much.

I'm not at practice the way I used to be. So these opportunities, these big games give me this chance to then go be around the sport I love and see it in person. So we're weighing this. And I think at the end of the day, as much as I love my career, and you guys know I come on the show and I talk about how committed I am to trying to be the best at this,
