GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
But there's a little bit of luck, right? Because you don't control the sky. You don't control the animals. Like even sports, right? Like my favorite is a boxing ring. You see the boxing ring surrounded by photographers. Right. But you only know a couple of key shots, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
So you had to be sitting in the right seat at the right vantage point and snap the picture right when the punch was getting thrown to get that thing. And there's definitely training. There's discipline and understanding of photography. But there is luck. And that's where the beauty and the value comes when you can create those moments.

This bottle was a special edition we did with Kinsey Distilling Company that's in Philadelphia. And we did it specifically for the Super Bowl run with the Eagles and to commemorate the last run that we had. So you'll see a bunch of football references on the labels. The helmet's got my signature on there. I love a good cocktail.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And I felt like it was only appropriate, especially here in New Orleans. to release a bourbon that was limited edition. And the fans, like I said, loved it. It was only available in Pennsylvania, and the bottles flew off of the shelves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
It's a project I love. I'm sure we'll do some more runs. So hoping everybody stays tuned.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I would say Gordon Parks is a photographer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
He did his work in just capturing images. Like specifically with Muhammad Ali, he followed him. And a lot of these photos you've probably seen of Ali training, behind the scenes praying. This is all Gordon Parks. And the way that he was able to showcase poverty in some of the remotest places in our country and put them on the main stage was impactful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And his choice of using a camera as a weapon to fight against poverty and racism is inspiring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And he will. And that's saying a lot considering Andy Reid goes there. It is considering a lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
But the amount of success he's had. And I think it's the way that he's doing it, right? His personality is like none of the other coaches that we've laid out on that pedigree, right? But that's why Philly should love him. He is Philly. We do love him. But he's like a brother. When it's not going right, only we can talk about him. Nobody else can say anything. It's like your brother, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Yeah, it's like my brother. But I think everybody. in Philly understands what his leadership has meant to this team. They take on his personality, which is very much aligned with Philly and our disposition for almost anybody who steps in our stadium.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
My first game as an Eagle, we were down 21-0 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Right. And we got booed all the way into the locker room, and I laughed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Because I'm from Jersey. I understand. I told my teammates I was booed, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
We're down 21-0. Yeah, but you end up winning that game. But it's one of those things you know that they're going to be the most passionate fan base no matter where you go. So they have the right to boo because they've been so dedicated and so ten toes down for this team that only them, you know, They have the right to speak up, and they're knowledgeable about the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Listen, I can't find greatness annoying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Listen, I tell everybody, Peyton Manning was in my way. Tom Brady was in my way. That never stopped me from winning the Super Bowl. You're right. So I think it's easy to respect what he's doing in Kansas City and Andy Reid. I think it's a generational talent that we're watching. Right. Oh, but this weekend, that's going to change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
No, right, exactly. I think it'll be a tough game. I think it'll be close. I think it's going to be a wild fourth quarter. If there's anything Patrick Mahomes does well is take over fourth quarters of games. with his legs, his arms, and Andy Reid always has answers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
So I do think it's going to be one of those things where the Eagles can dominate for the majority of the game, but it's going to come down to that fourth quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I think Grayson Kelsey is secure in what he means to the Philadelphia organization where he doesn't need to hate on it. The success of this current team. I don't think any of us thought that him missing out of the lineup, that the backup center would play as well as they have. That offensive line has done well. But trust me, I think Jason's very secure in his standing amongst the Philly greats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And the tush push was just fine this year. He laid the foundation for all of that, you know, and I think he's going to go down. Like, think about how great you have to be to be an offensive center and be one of the best. Biggest faces of a franchise. A household name, too. So he's done more for not only the city, this team, but for the sport than I think anybody at that position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
When they're over, man, I think the best part of when it's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
You just think about how poised you have to be the entire year. You go through challenges. You're dealing with injuries. You're dealing with the media. You're trying to keep all the nerves out, and then you finally execute and get it done, and there's nothing left to do but celebrate. It's the biggest relief that I've ever had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I mean, but you know what? We grew up dreaming about these moments, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
You'll wait. Right? So it's like so much anticipation, and then you've got to trick yourself in these moments. To act like it's just any other game. Because the rules are the same. The game is the same. The field is the same. The ball is the same. But we all know that the stakes are not the same.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Yeah, so Saturday we're promoting, in partnership with Phillips Auction House, to raise money for the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, bringing in artists at the Game of Art, connecting artists with athletes. So that will be a great event this weekend. But also one of the things that I've been really, really passionate about is helping athletes –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
empower themselves and empower their money and their business. We work really, really hard on our bodies and our games, but when it comes to business, sometimes we take a back seat. And so it's just been really about opening up opportunities. So anytime I've done anything in business, whether it's in franchising or it's in sports ownership,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I also create a vehicle to allow athletes to come along with me to learn first and foremost, but then also to co-invest. Because we understand business is a team sport, and we know team sport is better than everybody. And I think athletes oftentimes, when it comes to business, try to compete because we're so competitive. And it's unnecessary. The people who do it the best all work together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And so that's been a huge part of my platform recently is empowering athletes to go into business together and understand how to be the CEO of of their own team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your art soon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And it's even cool now because most of them have shows and stuff. So that's a whole new thing now. But it's pretty cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I have a lot of passions, and I love to bring those passions together. One being sports and art. I see no better city to represent that. If you look at the heroes of this city in New Orleans, it's the artists and the athletes. When those two worlds combine, there's an opportunity to create real change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
What we're doing at the Game of Art is bringing in athletes in Phillips Auction House to educate us on Oh, there you go. There you go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
We already know what's happening. Let's go. But Phillip's Auction House is coming to educate artists, I mean, athletes on how to collect and get into whether it's fine goods, watches, jewelry, but art specifically. I'm also flying in about seven renowned artists that I've made friends with to Again, have conversations about the the impact of art in sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And I've directly been impacted by guys like Larry Fitzgerald, who are collectors. The legacy of Ernie Barnes, who was a former football player who turned into a painter. And so it's a really cool thing to bring that all together here at the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
You know, I think there's a... This is why you shouldn't have let me get this for this price. I like to share, you know, and I can't collect everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
It's not Pokemon. That's true. So I think there's room for everybody to get into space. But I first want people to even just understand the power of art, how I think artists and the way that they look at the world is what we need to change communities.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And like I said, New Orleans is no better city to represent that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Yeah, man, I met him. I went to his studio, and his art is all about hidden history. It's about the stars and astrophysics, but then also about game theory. And he has a lot of things. There's a lot of intersections of sports and life in his art. And so I resonated with it greatly. He's a renowned artist. He's actually coming here. I'm taking all of the artists to the game with me. Oh, really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
So, yeah, it's going to be a fun weekend. Can you take us? You know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
Oh, that's good. You know, those have been some great conversations when artists, you know, want to talk about ball. But I think I enjoy teaching athletes about art because –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
it gives them another platform or another example of like a discipline and somebody who can who can do something physically with their body and manifest something that when you watch it or view it it changes your life i think athletes are looking to do that we do that in our sport sure but when it comes to our voices we're in leveraging our platforms i think we can learn a lot from how artists communicate their thoughts into the community that can be life-changing do you create anything or you just collect
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
I create something. You dabble. I dabble in photography. Literally, when I came into the league, Larry Fitzgerald was one of my mentors. He was a guy I looked up to and trained with. And I saw how he was a photographer, and he would travel the world and take photos.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Wrapping up Radio Row
And I fell in love with the camera as well, following artists like Gordon Parks and just what it means to capture history and moments in a photograph and how powerful that can be. I dabble with my camera every now and then.
