\n

Eagles star CJ Gardner-Johnson told his teammates that all the talking could stop if they won the Super Bowl, only to ignite a feud with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift within hours of Philadelphia’s stunning victory.<\/p>\n

The safety struggled to hold back tears as he delivered a rousing, X-rated speech to his teammates on the eve of their 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson has gone viral in the week since the game over his antics targeting rival Kelce and his pop-star girlfriend Swift.<\/p>\n

‘This is emotional to be here, talking all this s***,’ he said at the Eagles’ final team meeting last Saturday night.<\/p>\n

‘F*** their legacy, bro. It’s simple. Y’all been through a lot of s*** bro, a lot of s***. We ain’t got to say s*** if we win it. Because our story is going to tell itself, bro.’<\/p>\n

Following the game, however, the safety shared a picture of him squaring up to Kelce, alongside the caption: ‘Should’ve stayed with that thick s***’<\/p>\n

CJ Gardner-Johnson spoke to his teammates on the eve of the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs<\/p>\n

\"It<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It comes after he hit out at Travis Kelce on social media following victory at the Super Bowl<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson then mocked Taylor Swift and her fans at the Super Bowl parade on Friday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His comment was interpreted as a reference to Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. Then, after a backlash from Swifties – who flooded his mom’s restaurant with bad reviews – the Eagles star wore a crude sweater at the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade.<\/p>\n

‘Swifties can LIX my balls,’ it read. LIX means 59 in roman numerals. The Eagles triumphed at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson was one of several Eagles stars to speak at the meeting in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

‘I get emotional because I know we are all winners. Why not have a chance to express that, on the biggest stage of them all,’ he continued.<\/p>\n

On Sunday – a week on from the game – Philadelphia released behind-the-scenes footage from the Eagles camp.<\/p>\n

Within hours, Saquon Barkley’s speech had flooded social media.\u00a0‘As I watch film throughout the whole week, my confidence has been growing even more and I hope you guys are feeling the same thing,’ he told his teammates.<\/p>\n

‘These guys can’t f*** with us – they really can’t. I don’t care how many times they’ve been here, I don’t care how many times they’ve won it. They haven’t seen a team like us.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
