I would rather win one Super Bowl and have fun than win five in a fear-based organization

I think a lot of guys just want to be happy playing football... It's like the Patriots, obviously, they won five Super Bowls. Is that necessarily guideline minds to win the Super Bowl?... I don't want to be serious. I want to be a not serious individual and get the job done.

This is a subjective preference about team culture and career fulfillment.

Someone is going to be hungover during the NBA All-Star game

My prediction is someone's going to be hungover in that game. Yeah, every single person.

Given the nature of All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, this is effectively a certainty.

I am not retiring from the NFL after this Super Bowl

Asking how much money they got left. Okay. I like that. That's a good answer. But you're not retiring... I'm not retiring after this game. I said yeah. [Big Cat]: That would be funny if you just waited till like preseason game one and then retired. [Lane Johnson]: That would be funny. It's just, yeah, you gotta let the guys upstairs know.

Lane Johnson did not retire after Super Bowl LIX. He returned for the 2025 season with the Eagles and announced he would come back for 2026 as well, his 14th NFL season.

The 2017 Eagles are still the best team until this current team wins on Sunday

I feel like we may be more talented than last year's Super Bowl. I don't know if this as talented as '17. That's still the best team until, you know, if we win this one, prove otherwise.

Lane Johnson said the 2017 Eagles are still the best team 'until this current team wins on Sunday.' The Eagles won Super Bowl LIX, beating the Chiefs 40-22. So the 2024 Eagles proved themselves, potentially surpassing the 2017 team.

The Washington Commanders deserve partial credit for the Eagles making the Super Bowl

I feel like after that game [loss to the Commanders], I feel like that got our attention back somewhat refocus us... [PFT: partial credit for the Super Bowl should go to the Washington Commanders?] Pretty much. Yeah. I'll take lighten the fire. Be in the catalyst.
