This newscast is updated weekdays at 6am, 9am, noon, 3pm, and 6pm. The Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles is just around the corner, and there is no shortage of opinions out there about who may come out on top on Sunday. But we wanted to take a step back and talk to two former players who have donned the helmets and the jerseys of these two proud franchises. Yesterday, we checked in with a former Kansas City Chiefs player, but today, we are joined by former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown.
Brown played for the Eagles for eight seasons under head coach Andy Reid, who was with the Eagles for 14 seasons before he joined the Kansas City Chiefs. Nick Sirianni now coaches the Eagles.
And Sheldon Brown joins us now. You've been under the lights. You've been at the big game. So if you could, just start by walking us through what your preparation was like going into Super Bowl XXXIX and any advice you might have for the Eagles as they are counting down really the hours until the big game. BROWN: Well, I played for Coach Reid in Philadelphia at the time, so he made us very aware of, I guess, all the distractions that could come along with the week leading up into the game.
But I think he did an excellent job of keeping us focused on the task at hand and mentally prepared. So for me, I really didn't have to adjust. I just think that first opening kickoff was amazing. You see a thousand flashing cameras, and it's just - you can tell it's an epic experience. But I think once the game gets going and you get into the flow of the game, it's just another football game.
I mean, this is incredible to see these two teams coming back together again. How do you feel about that rematch with Coach Andy Reid? Make no mistake about that. He gave me an opportunity to provide not only through the game, but he taught me a lot of life lessons.
