Yeah, greetings from Overbrook where Will Smith and Jim McKay are from.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uh, Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I want to talk about the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. That\u2019s good. Let\u2019s get to what you wanted to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay. Well, I think we have a pretty good shot at winning this rematch. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: When did you last play the Patriots, regular season or post season? When did you last play, the Super Bowl? Is that what you mean?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: In 2005, the Super&#8230; Oh, last play in a regular season? I don\u2019t know. I believe we&#8230; I don\u2019t know if we beat them or not but I think we have a pretty good shot. We have a well-rounded team this time around.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Football.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Football.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Football-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: You know, every team that gets ready to play the Patriots think they can beat \u2019em. The Steelers thought they could beat \u2019em and it wouldn\u2019t be tough. The Jaguars! The Jaguars thought they were gonna beat the Patriots, and they almost did. Your biggest obstacle I think is gonna be the officials.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s been a problem. It\u2019s been a problem. The Patriots seem to get a lot of the calls.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, 96 yards of penalties against the Jaguars and one penalty called against the Patriots?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: In one series, something like 65 yards of penalties before they waltz in for a touchdown, a pass interference call. The helmet-to-helmet call, that was legit. Look (sigh), I think the Eagles can win. I think going in, anything can happen here. I just wouldn\u2019t make the mistake of&#8230; The Patriots defy logic. It doesn\u2019t matter who puts on that uniform for that team they play. As long as Brady is there, whoever else is wearing a uniform excels on that team.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-247719 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091917-Tom-Brady.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091917-Tom-Brady.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091917-Tom-Brady-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve got every year a new middle linebacker, a new outside linebacker corps, every year different defensive line, different people in the secondary, and every year they play &#8212; after they get going &#8212; at top level. It\u2019s just&#8230; It\u2019s amazing. So I don\u2019t&#8230; You\u2019re the fan, you\u2019re not playing, and at a Super Bowl I don\u2019t think anybody takes it for granted. But there\u2019s a reason that they are in their second straight Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>There is a reason they\u2019ve been in more Super Bowls in 20 years than all the other teams. There\u2019s a reason for all of this. You know, the backup quarterback, Foles, did he have a career game against Minnesota and is that it? Too many unknowns here. But I think the Eagles can win. And you know why? Because they\u2019re going to be on the field. (laughing) I mean, simple logic. Now, before you go, John, would you like a brand-new iPhone today?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I&#8230; Very much so, Rush. Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The iPhone X is what I\u2019m offering, but if you\u2019d rather have an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, I have one of those too.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, X sounds great. I have the 6.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, okay. Perfect. Perfect. You\u2019ll just be able to swap SIM cards. What is your carrier?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: AT&amp;T.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: AT&amp;T. Fine and dandy. So you\u2019re gonna get a phone that has no SIM card. It\u2019s unlocked. So all you have to do is take the SIM card from your 6 and put it in the X and it\u2019ll be connected to AT&amp;T and you\u2019re up and running. It will transfer your number automatically. You don\u2019t need to take it to an AT&amp;T Store.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s fantastic. Thank you very much, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hang on so we get your address and ship it out to so that you\u2019ll have it. You\u2019ll have it by the end of the week, I am confident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think the Eagles can win. And you know why?
