Where's the craziest place you've watched a game from?

[@user-lh9fb8sj4q]

Haha on a canoe in the middle of the lake. Scared to death of dropping my phone too lol

[@12breacher82]

Watched a ton of games deployed, but week 6 2011 I was on OP Bari Alai in Kunar, Afghanistan and got to watch the Pats beat Dallas and Bucs beat NO. We were in the middle of a month long shaping operation against the Taliban, who less than two years before had overran that base. Pretty surreal.

[@roxiplayz775]

Snowed-in at a ski resort parking lot in NH. We listened to the tuck rule game in the car. We froze, but it was worth it! 🙌🫶🏼

[@PastaDon_]

Ummm, Rochingham county DOC.. Feb. 2002, don't worry it was a non-violent crime and reformed afterwards.. thank the good lord!!

[@DavidJohnson-dj1oo]

It was this game. I watched this game on the giant projector by the pool on a cruise during my bachelor party. Seemed like we were the only Pats fans in the crowd, and everyone knew we were there. Turns out, you can max out your 'unlimited' drink package. The game was one big cherry on top of an already awesome weekend. Thanks Jules.

[@roronoaDzoro1111]

love this podcast when they get brady on here it will break the internet

[@breadseedaggie3001]

hell yeah, cant wait!

[@claytongiampaolo7848]

Edlenut has been trying to get him to come on, apparently he's being a lil bitch and won't support his old teammate.

[@dipset22554]

What game you think they’ll pick lol

[@kylerschelling]

@@dipset22554there’s so many good ones. Maybe their first Super Bowl versus the Rams?

[@mcfly7]

Indeed.

[@matthewsilva8617]

This was a great game..keep up the awesome work Edelnut, we love you

[@GrooveSchoolRecs]

Ey Edelnut 😂

[@GrooveSchoolRecs]

You seen that 60 minutes last night?

[@uzi978]

It was one of the most satisfying wins in the Brady/Belichick era. Everyone was all over the Chiefs, anointing them the successors and just assuming they would beat the Patriots. People were saying Brady was too old then, funny to think about now. The back and forth in the 4th quarter was so stressful, but awesome to watch. So happy the Pats won this one, on the road, not ready to give up the throne just yet.

[@nickk7425]

Fuck yeah! It was so sweet watching Rex Burkhead pound the ball into the end zone to win the game in OT, in Kansas city! So satisfying!

[@sostdm617]

It was so sweet man

[@ChristinaMaxwell-lx2ip]

It was incredible, but as a Chiefs fan we learned quickly that Mahomes could hang. It was so much fun to watch!

[@kamfisher1714]

Definitely the sweetest non Super Bowl win

[@bronxjewelix]

This was postseason football at its finest. Just an amazing game for both Chiefs and Patriots, I felt that was finally to acknowledge that change of the guard in the AFC was that game. I felt like the Chiefs were going to be the next team to beat in the AFC after they can hang with the Pats.

[@matthewdannar-lc8df]

lifelong chiefs fan here....i dont even want to like edelman even though i have always respected and admired his fieldplay, but after listening to him chop it up with riggle i have decided he is actually smarter than he looks and his taste in sports t shirts is cool cuz i had that montana shirt as kid...nice throw back...really enjoyed the entire podcast, thank you

[@Azikkii]

Another epic 5am release, love to see it on another lovely Tuesday

[@gameswithnamespod]

🤝🤝🤝

[@nomarxistspls90]

As a chiefs fan this game broke my heart, always had respect for Edelman and those brilliant pets teams. Just so glad we came back in 2019 for that crazy run and beat the 49ers. Great interview!

[@micahhayes8770]

Im from KC and I had that Joe Montana Chiefs shirt in 5th grade 1993. My first yr watching the Chiefs.

[@12breacher82]

This game was incredible and a life memory. I was going through a horrible divorce right before deploying in late Feb, and this game (plus the Super Bowl), gave me some much needed reprieve.

[@camronking7947]

I’m gonna assume you’ll have Tom on here, that’s gonna be epic

[@marcuscastillo514]

I’d love to hear about his 6 touchdown game in the snow

[@chrisdragone9794]

Easily the single greatest non Super Bowl game I’ve ever watched, the storytelling in this game and leading up to it that week was on another level

[@elliswilson1125]

2015 Broncos over the Panthers was on the same level of storylines and crazy plays.

[@HelluvaPatriot]

This is my favorite episode because of Rob. He's a fan of not only his team, but the game. He picked a game where his team lost! But he understands the game enough to appreciate the opponent and what this game ended up having such a catapult for his team's future dominance. I couldn't agree more with the perfect score. Awesome episode.

[@usmcgabeaguilar]

Wild to be watching this after the superbowl and your talking about the over time rule 1:11:32 hoping rob comes back to talk about it

[@toryquesada5141]

You guys should have the screen you guys are watching available for us to see so we can see what your analyzing. Other than that, love the show!!

[@ChristinaMaxwell-lx2ip]

Great episode! 1-yr later, Kelce’s speech at the parade… “my guy Frank Clark, #55 who’s NOT offsides”

[@crs9877]

I felt Rob’s pain in his nod at 7:06, when Edelman was announcing the game. I thought I could watch this but it’s still too soon! Haha.

[@Fgomez3]

“Pacino..that’s Pacino right there.” 😂😂😂

[@user-tj8zf3uw6l]

I really enjoyed this episode, great guest and championship ! The editing, specially in the intro tho 🔥🔥🔥

[@Reffitt2]

Gotta love Rob Riggle! Even better that I'm a KC area native, and we've got a lot of great guys and gals to be proud of in the movie industry. It's amazing to me that Edelman can remember so many games after his stellar career in the NFL! Great interview, guys!

[@4c3fr3h1y]

"I was on... vacation." lol Jules fucking kills me

[@Biotoze]

Really appreciate the revival of the pod. You’re going at it Edelnut! Hopefully we can get Sam on for an episode soon.

[@jasonalan45]

This might be my new fav podcast this is great

[@kylerschelling]

This might be my favorite game in the patriots second dynasty

[@Ramzees2798]

It took years off my life

[@BretMish]

It’s there but nothing compares to XLIX* when we finally did it after a 10 year drought.

[@chrish2112]

​@@BretMish XLIX*

[@BretMish]

@@chrish2112 typo musta missed x. U know what I meant tho. That’s my fave.

[@skid2nyce]

This was awesome...Can't wait for when Bill Burr gets on this, it has to happen.

[@beckettstorey1679]

This show is so great Jules.

[@MikeMack1986]

One of my favorite Patriots games of all time. Ran the ball down their throat and Brady was insane on 3rd and long situations 🐐🔥

[@ThePhDSpanish]

Rob's a great guest, good ep boys

[@jamesdahlgard]

Great episode for a great game!

[@bronxjewelix]

This was postseason football at its finest. Just an amazing game for both Chiefs and Patriots, I felt that was finally to acknowledge that change of the guard in the AFC was that game. I felt like the Chiefs were going to be the next team to beat in the AFC after they can hang with the Pats. Plus I believe that the Chiefs can three-peat. Pat, Andy, Spags, and Trav and the whole team were hungry and being motivated after that game, being that motivated is one of the most scariest thing you’ll ever see. I think now I say that Pat Mahomes is One of the Best, the Greats QB, whatever he does is must see TV. I say Chiefs Kingdom go get it, I want to see the first true Three-Peat of the SB era.

[@derekmower7172]

Favorite listen, great podcast Jules!!! Foxborough Forever

[@coreyjovel269]

Another 🔥 episode!!LFG!!

[@JaK-de4qx]

Becoming on of my favorite podcasts, thanks for the content, you’ve earned my sub! It’s swag , not schwag, which is dirt weed.

[@user-lh9fb8sj4q]

never a dry moment ! Keep going strong 🍻

[@rolizabeth92]

Jules, great episode. But when is Kat Williams coming in? lol

[@DMDvideo10]

One of the best games I've ever seen.

[@BigFrankieC]

Fantastic episode. For the record, "Former Marine" is a perfectly acceptable term for someone who is no longer in the Marines. "Ex-Marine" is the phrase to avoid.

[@acidtrip444]

Be fucking forreal guy... once a Marine, always a Marine. Don't degrade the corps because of wokeism and not wanting to offend someone. It doesn't change. Always a Marine. Games with names, don't listen to this shit. You had it right on the podcast. "Once a Marine always a Marine." Nothing iconic about "former marine", being acceptable.

[@BigFrankieC]

@@acidtrip444 Relax there guy. My dad was Force Recon from '59-'70. He ran 4 combat tours in Vietnam. He was the one who told me that rule. Not sure what "wokism" has to do with any of this, so keep your buzzwords to yourself, guy.

[@BigFrankieC]

@@acidtrip444 Also, "Corps" is capitalized. Show some respect.

[@acidtrip444]

@@BigFrankieC show some respect? You literally said former Marine is acceptable 🤣 talk about disrespectful. Your original post you said.... "The Marines." ... you never even acknowledged the "C"orps. shut the fuck up slim, 🤣 if you're not a Marine I genuinely don't care. Respect to your pops, but don't involve yourself in defending anything you don't personally have experience with. Btw, It's the "Recon Division" or "Marine Recon" ... 'Force Recon' sounds like a SpaceBalls rendition of whatever you're talking about. You genuinely look like the type to pretend to know what you're talking about and stretch your knowledge beyond the truth because there's some glory to chase because your glory is behind you and anything with weight now talking about your daddy you think you're some expert. "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Fucking period slim. Dont ruin their creed and think former or ex is acceptable. Don't tell me to respect shit either because you couldn't even refer to the corps in your original post. You don't serve? You don't know shit. You don't retire, you go on watch waiting for orders. Once a Marine, always a Marine. You, show some respect. Former Marine is way more disrespectful than telling me to capitalize C in corps lmao

[@afkaz]

This was the real Super Bowl.

[@LighthouseEnjoyer]

Love the pod

[@thanksfernuthin]

I'm glad you let us know Rob picked the game. I was thinking, "Gee... that's not nice. You picked the game where his team lost?!!" I've been a fan of his since "Childrens Hospital"!

[@matto4993]

Had to imagine Edelman could have a better career after his football career lol he's approaching it. What a character. Keep it up

[@jonathonbecker2030]

New favorite pod!

[@gameswithnamespod]

🤩🤩🤩

[@stephaniegorman2611]

Been watching the NFL since 1990 and this game is in my top 3 all time favorite games, they did mention Montana in Mile High, but nothing beats the Super Bowl 28-3

[@kevmarpnky]

Middlenof the njght uploads hell yes

[@peterbparis]

Surprisingly good pod

[@Dpm87]

That CTE kicking in when jules called him Ron 😅😅😅 It’s ok Jules we f’n love ya bubz 😂😂😂

[@DolphinMan-eh1gp]

Dear Julian Edelman and Games with Names staff, My family absolutely loves this podcast! We are obsessed! So proud of all the work you guys do every episode and your guests have been fantastic! A game I would love to see broken down is any game by Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson plays for the bay, he wears number 11 and he is the unsung hero of the Warriors Dynasty!

I love the TROLLING with the BOUNTY😂😂😂😂😂

[@myriadcorp]

Dee Ford broke my heart as I was jumping and screaming after the interception.

[@user-kc7qs4gs7s]

dope podcast

[@codyclabough7807]

The definition of “ball don’t lie” Brady threw to Edelman the VERY NEXT play, bounced off his hands for an INT. Ball says you touched it 🤣

[@sawwallace]

Really wish Sam Morill could be on this one but legendary podcast and Rob Riggle is sucha great dude. Love seeing Edelman do well off the field he’s got an awesome personality and super funny. Cheers

[@brettschaefer6896]

This was the greatest game I’ve ever been too and the first patriots game I ever watched live. Best day of my life, especially growing up a diehard pats fan and always hearing about the chiefs

[@brettschaefer6896]

Live in person that is. Living in Kansas city the only game I remember that was at arrowhead before then was the 41-14 loss my bestfriend went too. Kinda glad I didn’t see that one in person. It’s ruthless in arrowhead

[@seandawson5899]

Bounty willing to sponsor content like this is a huge step forward from the disaster that was the Adpocalypse in 2016.

Thank god for Rob knocking the game 6 of the nba finals down

Chiefs Kingdom calls it the Dee Ford offsides game.

[@ryanc675]

"They said I was offsides....... ....... ....... ....... ....... WAS I???"

[@bschro7146]

I think I would pay more money to watch Rob Riggle watching this game than a Super Bowl.

[@nyleslehnen4751]

Hell ya! I’m a die hard Chiefs fan myself lmao

[@joshchatham8937]

As a Vikings fan, the 2009 NFC championship game actually started the overtime route changes. New Orleans won the toss, kicked a field goal and the game was over. The Favre led Vikings never got a chance.

[@Paskyboo]

It is crazy how the mil vernacular never leaves you. “Hooking and jabbing” is a dead giveaway that most people wouldn’t notice. Rah

[@malcolmdavidson955]

Edelman, you are a pretty funny guy. Love the podcast. In many ways, even though you're not from Boston, due to playing for the Pats, you got to know Boston, and the other teams in town, of which I think you're a fan of. Please have a Bruin on, possibly some Celtics and Sox. Still a fantastic show. Funny and informative. You have transitioned well.

[@georgieboy_htown4eva4eva]

Game 6 of the 2017 World Series has to be next, it's one of the craziest baseball games of all time.

[@deedsdilla]

I think people forget how ass the Chiefs defense was that year. Its a miracle they got as far as they did.

[@acidtrip444]

Die hard Eagles Fan. I straight up fucking love ball. Love Rob.. Been really loving Edel-nuts post NFL career. So happy he's so charismatic. Starting to really like this legend a lot.

I swear to god on my life my Dad has hugged me 1 time my whole entire life it was Tom Brady's first Super Bowl win my dad last year diagnosed with stage 4 appendix cancer had the mother of all surgeries certain he was gonna die we didn't hug i said i love you. you got this man this is your superbowl win it and well be back in 2024 to restore a cool car together well he won his super bowl he's in remission we are working together on a car today together first time back but nothing could get the old man to hug me Like the first time the pats won the superbowl i watched every game and my whole life my little brother youngest was a chiefs fan and this game was my second favorite lmao 😂

[@youtubenutzer4564]

Can anyone tell me what I have to put into Google to find the Patriots cap/hat Julian Edelman is wearing in this video? so far it seems to be a 47Brand item, but I can’t find it and I want it 😂 Or even better: where can I buy it?

“2020’s have been garbage, except for the Chiefs” Amen brother

[@TyBarrera]

It was a great game. I wish Edelman would’ve mentioned the phantom roughing the passer call Chris Jones on Brady. Edelman did what Edelman does. Moved the chains.

[@grgas]

That joe montana shirt is incredible

My younger brother is just a die heart fan Chiefs. I am a die heart Patriots fan. Just remember this is the first game, we went to me after the game and say we not playing video games for the next few weeks. He was so mad at Dee Ford offside.

[@not2sharpmd]

I always thought that it was so ridiculous that everyone was complaining about the OT rules just because it was Patrick Mahomes. ESPECIALLY because the NFC championship game also went to OT on the exact same day as this game, and the team that got the ball first in that game ended up losing.
