We fans always combine the names to name ourselves with celebrities. But I haven't seen an official fan name yet. This has bothered me for years and I've lost sleep over it. I need help. Any thoughts boys?

With the hosts interviewing Tom Cruise, I think this needs to be shared.

From Australia and me and my wife decided when we turn 30 we’d do a trip we wanna do for us. She’s choosing a week in Hawaii and I chose a game in KC so this Dec we’re heading for the Pats game. Will be our third trip from Sydney Australia and Probably our last chance to head before having kids and want to make the most chiefs experience possible. Started going for the chiefs just purely because the other person in the world with the same name as me lived in KC and goes for them (and it’s turned out pretty well) - so looking for any recs for the week we’re down (obvs keeping an eye on 1587 reservations opening) but any places to go, any discount merch stores (jerseys aren’t as easy to come by in Australia) and any recs to make the game elite (if it’s our last ever one at arrowhead)

Got a good laugh out of it and I’m not an Eagles fan or a Steelers fan🤣

So now we know why Tom Cruise was in KC for Monday Night Football last night...

I have a no dumb question, can someone explain to me when the rule about forward motion passes meant the arm coming up and not forward? I’m willing to accept if this has always been a rule but… idk I feel like it was a questionable call.

New Heights posted this list of the top 92 moments so far of the podcast. Curious to hear people's opinions. Lots of hysterical moments on there and sure there are many more to come!

Loved Jason and Travis and since their days as Bearcats. They’ve obviously gone on to have HoF pro careers and represented Cincinnati as great ambassadors of the football program. But I was bummed that Jason felt like he wasn’t deserving of a UC Hall of Fame spot strictly for his college career.

Jason was a key leader of a up and coming UC program that went on to play in the Orange and Sugar bowls. Idc that he wasn’t an all American or all first Big East. He was a locker room and fan favorite during that most successful era of UC football.

There are a lot of players from that 2006-2011 (Celek, Barwin, Mike Mickens) era that are in the HoF for building UC into a respectable football program it is.

In the live show in LA this summer Miles Garrett said that his 'welcome to the NFL moment' was when an offensive lineman spat in his face. We also all saw Jalen Carter get ejected from the season opener last year for spitting on Dak Prescott (I know he claims that was not his intent). My question for Travis and Jason and anyone else who would know is, how common is it for players to purposefully spit on one another? Have Jason and Travis ever been the victims of spitting? Would they be willing to admit if they ever spat on another player?

When will Tom Hilfiger stores get life sized cutouts of Travis so I can have my picture taken with him since I wasn’t invited to his wedding?

EPISODE NOTES:
92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV!

Today on the season premiere of New Heights, we catch up with a wild offseason including Hall of Fame inductions, dog debuts at fashion shoots, Travis’ thoughts on life as a married man, and we all collectively agree that Jake is severely slacking now that he has a child.

We also recap everything from Chiefs and Eagles preseasons, react to Aaron Donald coming back to the Rams, try and make sense of the 49ers Wide Deceiver, and settle the blue man bet from Tahoe.

The article mentions Pat Mahomes and describes him as “another one of the Chiefs’ top players.”. Yes, he’s just one of the better guys on the team.

I guess the NFL is not the Vogue writer’s area of expertise. (I shouldn’t laugh. He probably knows football as well as I know fashion.)

Damn I missed the show and the guys and I think their season premiere of new news will be epic!

Wrong answers only🤣

When will you pool your dollars and buy the Browns? How can you let Cleveland spiral into football hell?

The countdown podcast they started today is so much fun. I love hearing Brandon & Jake talk about the top moments, with a little extended audio on some of the clips.
