Apart from being an artistic powerhouse, the “Earth” hitmaker ‘Lil Dicky’ is an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. Born in Pennsylvania, North Philadelphia, the rapper has been vocal about his support for the Eagles. He recently made an appearance on the New Heights podcast and was in awe of  Jason Kelce throughout the episode.

When you pair a hardcore Eagles fan with an Eagles legend, the topic of Philadelphia’s first-ever Super Bowl in 2018 was bound to come up. It’s been the most memorable night in every Eagles fan’s life and Lil Dicky reminisced how he turned down the opportunity to watch the match in the stadium. Instead, he went back to his native place, Cheltenham, and decided to catch the action with his 10 high school friends so that they could party till the wee hours after Jason & Co. sealed the deal on the field. He reminisced,

“I turned down tickets to that game in Minnesota so I could go home and watch it with my Cheltenham high school friends, so then we could all go out afterwards.”

Hearing Lil Dicky’s celebratory plans instantly reminded Jason Kelce of one of the regrets in his life. After the Super Bowl-winning performance, Jason regrets not going to Broad Street that night to celebrate with fans. For context, Broad Street is the iconic street for the Eagles fans where they gather and celebrate every major Philadelphia win. “My one great regret is that we couldn’t be on Broad Street after the game as players,” said Kelce.

Dicky upped the game by sharing his remorse from that win. The rapper reminisced about his sorrow for missing the winning parade the next day of the win as he had to leave the town for some work that day. “My great regret is I had to leave town a day after and I missed the parade, so I never got to have that with you,” revealed Lil Dicky.

For most of us, their regrets might not make sense. But for someone witnessing their team’s first-ever Super Bowl win, and not being able to celebrate the historic moment in a large crowd amidst the fans and players is surely a miss. All said and done, celebrations were bound to be top-class. After all, not many gave the Eagles a chance against the Tom Brady-led Patriots who were a superior opponent back then.

The Eagles’ Emphatic Victory Against The Patriots in The Super Bowl

Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles ranks highly amongst the most memorable Super Bowls of the last decade. The match had everything. From top superstars of the game to an underdog story of the Eagles to root for, it was an emotional roller coaster. The match started off with the underdogs Philadelphia stunning the Patriots with relentless attacks helping them enter halftime with a stunning 22-12 lead. But the Patriots were no slouch.

They lived up to their tag of being the comeback kings and Tom Brady led the attack to quickly cut down the deficit to 22-19. This drive sank Eagles fan’s hearts as they started expecting another heartbreak. The game went back and forth with the scoreline reading 33-32 in favor of the Patriots in the last 10 minutes. The popular consensus felt that the comeback was done. But Eagles’ Nick Foles had other plans. Foles hit Zach Ertz for a TD in the final three minutes, taking the score to 38-33.

With just 2:21 minutes left, the game was wide open. Brady once again took charge, but this time, he saw a rare fumble from his side. The Eagles capitalized on this and turned that into three more points ending the night with the scoreline of 41-33. The game was a fun riot from the start to the end and was fitting enough to be the first-ever Super Bowl win for the citizens of Philadelphia.
