Great podcast with Lane Johnson appearing on Chris Long’s show, more than an hour of just free-flowing conversation.

One of the funnier moments is when the pair are talking about the genesis of the 2017 playoff “underdog” masks, which starts around 55:52 of the Youtube clip below:

Long: What do you remember about the origin of the dog mask? Because –

Johnson: It was you. I think we were talking about ‘Peter King said this‘ and we had all of the (newspaper) articles posted all over the building, just everywhere, in the bathrooms, every stall has ‘hey, this is what you’re expected to do,‘ which was get our ass kicked. And then you said, ‘hey man, since we’re underdogs, we should get some underdog masks.’

Long: And it sounded like the dumbest idea.

Johnson: It sounded fucking stupid.

Long: <laughing hysterically> But then it ended up on the inside of our Super Bowl –

Johnson: I was stupid enough to go buy something like that.
