-Welcome. First of all, I mean, I know
you're all excited, but I mean, how exciting is it to -- to play
in the Super Bowl in general? And not only just play, but win?
-Yeah, I mean, it was an unbelievable feeling.
Obviously, when you're 5 years old growing up,
that's kind of the game you always watch.
The whole family's together. And when you're 5 years old,
you never think you're actually gonna be able
to play in that game. -Yeah.
-But it was so much fun. I mean, playing with these guys
all season has been so much fun for me
and hopefully the rest of them, too.
-Do -- do you geek out when you get to the field?
-Yeah, it was very exciting. You know, To me, it was
a blessing to be there. I said I was going to have
a lot of fun out there. -Yeah. And then -- win or lose.
-Yeah, win or lose, but at the end of the day,
you have a lot of fun winning.
[ Laughter ]
-Winning is the most important thing.
-Yeah, it is. Do you have any superstitions or anything
that you do if you're -- before the game starts?
Do you go and, like, touch one end zone or -- do something
or say a quick prayer or do anything?
-Yeah, that's it. You've got to say a prayer.
-You do, yeah. -I got a Grateful Dead shirt.
I've wore it two years in a row. 2 for 2 on Super Bowls.
-Yeah, I mean -- you won with the Patriots as well.
-Yeah... -What did -- how did you feel
playing against your former teammates?
-I mean, everybody knows how great they are, and, you know,
preparing for those guys. [ Scattered applause ]
-Yeah. -One person --
[ Laughter ] -One Patriots fan.
-One -- we're allowed one Patriots fan per show, yeah.
[ Laughter ] No, but, I mean, I know Tom
a little bit. Tom Brady. -Yeah, sure.
-And he's just so -- -He's like that.
I mean, he's a legit, you know, hardworking dude,
great teammate. That whole group is a lot like us --
great, selfless guys, two great programs.
And on Sunday the best team won.
They got a great history, though.
-Yeah. Did you say anything -- -Fly, Eagles, fly!
-Did you say anything to Tom after the game or just --
-Yeah, I mean, like, you know, Tom's not one of those guys
where I'm like, "hey, let me get your number, man.
I'll hit you up in the off-season." Like --
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he's -- -I mean, he's approachable
like that, but I'm not going to bother him.
So in the last year, I realized I'd never thanked him for,
you know, being such a great teammate and, you know,
he's given a lot of people rings there.
I mean, it's a team sport, but he's just -- he's fantastic,
so I just wanted to tell him I appreciated him and, you know,
to beat him, that's a tall task in a Super Bowl.
-Yeah. Alshon, that is a, uh...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah, you got a little trophy there, yeah.
I mean, how cool is that thing? -I told them before the game
and I felt like -- when I said it last year when I played
my last game for the Bears that I was guaranteed I was going
to the Super Bowl. -Really?
-And I said it earlier in the week, we was bringing
this trophy back to Philly. -So you haven't let go
of that thing since the -- since you won?
[ Laughter ] You've been holding it
for three days, yeah. But I mean, that --
who's the first person you thought of when you won?
What does your head go to? -I thought of my grandmother.
She passed away, so I kind of dedicated the season
towards her. She passed away before the season started.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Jalen, let's talk. You know we love you here at the show.
-Oh, right. [ Laughter ]
-We made a couple "Superlative" jokes about --
-Yeah, yeah. -Just about the green hair,
but no -- those are all good, funny ones I think, right?
[ Laughter ] -On your behalf.
[ Laughter ] -Well, no, all out of love.
Fans -- people call it the Green Goblin.
-Right, right. -And now it's uber famous.
We know that you can't not have green hair now,
for the rest of your life. -Yeah, I'm stuck with it, man.
[ Laughter ] Of course, you know, you get
older, hair's probably going to fall out.
[ Laughter ]
Then I just go from the hair on top of my head
then to this beard. -How's your hand?
-It's all right, you know? I mean --
-Is it broke or what is it? Sprained?
-No, yeah. Sprained -- sprained my thumb in the game.
-Yeah. You went for it. That was the last play
of the game and you had to defend Gronk.
-No, it actually happened a little bit earlier.
[ Laughter ]
-Second quarter.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-I didn't see -- -Come on, man.
-I didn't see the game, I got to be honest. Uh...
[ Laughter ]
Your play was insane. Zach... [ Cheers and applause ]
That was the craziest thing. Dude, I mean, what was going
through your head when that happened?
'Cause you -- you caught the ball and if you put the ball
in the end zone, that means, touchdown -- no discussion.
-Yeah, I caught the ball at the 5, and it seemed like
I took three or four steps and then dove into the end zone.
And the ball hit the ground and then kind of wobbled like a yard
past the end zone. And the NFL says they have
to review every touchdown, so I think they're just, like, going
over there to casually look at it.
And then, they just keep going over and over.
I'm like, "wait, what is going on over there?"
-Yeah. -It seems like three minutes
later, they finally say it was a touchdown, though.
-Well, you must have seen it back, right?
-Yeah, I saw it now, yeah. -Like a thousand times?
-A couple times. [ Laughter ]
-I was like, "bloop blap whoa whoa!"
I was like, "oh, my goodness!" Like you can't practice that.
It was the most exciting thing, and everyone was going nuts.
I mean, the place was just -- I don't know.
I think the country really was kind of rooting for you guys.
Everyone was, like, wanted to see you guys pull this one off,
and you did. Congratulations.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-The Roots -- The Roots would like to play a song
especially for you guys... [ Drumroll ]
