Exclusive Interview: Chris Long Weighs in on Divisional Round Matchups
Today, we had the privilege of sitting down with two-time Super Bowl Champion and former defensive end, Chris Long, on our popular podcast, Pardon My Take. Long joined hosts Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter to share his insights on the upcoming Divisional round, his take on new head coaches, and more.
A Career Spanning Three Teams
Throughout his NFL career, Chris Long played for three teams: the Philadelphia Eagles, the St. Louis Rams, and another team. Although he has maintained relationships with several individuals within the Rams organization, he faced a tough decision when asked about his allegiance in the upcoming battle between his former teams.
A Clear Answer: Fly Eagles Fly
So, who will Chris Long be rooting for on Sunday? The answer is clear: the Philadelphia Eagles. Long’s reasoning is rooted in his experience winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles, a moment that holds a special place in his heart. This sentiment is understandable, given the significance of winning a championship in a city like Philadelphia.
The Impact of Relocation
Long’s eight-year stint with the St. Louis Rams was significantly longer than his two-year tenure with the Eagles. However, the Rams’ relocation to Los Angeles diluted the strong relationships he had built in St. Louis. In contrast, his time in Philadelphia was marked by a championship win, which has left an indelible mark on his loyalty.
A Champion’s Perspective
It’s fascinating to consider how winning a ring in a city like Philadelphia affects one’s perspective. For Chris Long, the experience has created a lasting bond with the Eagles, making it easy for him to declare his allegiance.
