almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat
Divisional Round!
Andy Reid called Patrick Mahomes, “a tough nut.”
According to Science.org, Pistachios wallop walnuts as the toughest nut to crack.
A serving (1 oz or 49 nuts) has 160 calories and 6 grams of protein – about the same as an egg.
Wonderful Pistachios tapped Richard Sherman, former Seahawks and 49ers cornerback, to promote its No Shells Chili Roasted flavor.
Makes sense he didn’t promote them during his time as a Seahawk. Birds are immune to the heat of chili.
The only bird team left, the Eagles, brought the heat last night, am I right?

Quotes
“At the end of the day, I’m not defined by the wins and losses. I wasn’t born to play football and that’s it, I have a life. But I also love to compete... That’s how I stay grounded.”
“It made me say, ‘OK, this dude clearly didn’t get the message. We’re going to have to come back and really show him the second time,’” Hodgins says. “He was talking about stuff he saw. Stuff within our offense. We went in with a gameplan of, ‘Alright, not only are we going to feed off of stuff he was saying, but we’re not going to be afraid of this dude again. Let’s go attack him. Let’s go show, ‘Hey, we’re here. We heard everything you were saying. We’re going to make sure you feel it this time.’ … If he thinks it’s going to be the same thing over there again, we’re going to go in there and win this time.”
Isaiah Hodgins’ IG comments a Giants fan told him he needed to listen to Patrick Peterson’s podcast — the corner had meticulously broke down their first matchup. Hodgins studied the pod episode several times over and used it for X’s and O’s and motivation both.
"We'll get into that down the road...We'll cross that bridge when we get there."
Daniel Jones was asked twice if he wants to be the Giants quarterback next year, and he didn't say "Yes" either time.
“To have him out there — I shouldn’t go there — is like having Michael Jordan out there."
