New York Yankees

Yankees' Tommy Kahnle talks Eagles fandom, Super Bowl, 2018 goals

Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle gives his Super Bowl 2018 prediction and discusses how he hopes to improve in 2018.

How pumped are you for the Super Bowl? And have you figured out your plans for it yet?

I’m stoked, man. I’ve been waiting 13 years for this, and it’s the same opponent as the last time they were in it. I have not decided what I’m doing yet though. I’m contemplating watching that by myself alone or going to a friend’s house and watching it with him. I’m pretty superstitious with games.

You have a friend who's an Eagles fan? Not many of those in upstate New York. (Kahnle grew up and lives in Latham, N.Y.)

I do. One of my friends — we have a tight-knit group, 12 or 13 of us. Luckily, two of use are Eagles fans. But of course, my best man at wedding — I was the best man at his weeding, too — he’s a Patriots fan. So we've been going at it.

You think about getting a couple of tickets and flying to Minnesota?

It was a thought, obviously, but we have the (new)house and stuff. We didn’t have the time. I think I want to save a Super Bowl, too, for when it’s (Carson) Wentz (as the starting quarterback). Hopefully this isn’t their last one. But I love (Nick) Foles, too. I have two authentic Eagles jerseys and they’re both Foles.

How did you become an Eagles fan anyway? That's random.

This is the story for sure. I was probably 5 years old, maybe younger to be honest. I was sitting there on a Sunday with my pops. On the TV, it was an Eagles-Jets game, and my favorite color is green. So, people always ask me, ‘Why aren’t you just a Jets fan?” Well, I kind of liked the eagles helmet. The Kelly green and the silver eagle wings. And I feel in love with Randall Cunningham right away.
