‘Sirianni’s high-motor, unrelenting level of ambitiousness came from both nature and nurture, rooted in the southeast corner of Chautauqua County. A 1999 Southwestern High graduate, he had a close circle of childhood friends from the Jamestown area, friends with whom he still remains close, including Langworthy.’

Ryan O'Halloran: After slow start, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni embraced adversity, and look at them now
‘Sirianni had pulled two major levers in the offseason, hiring Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio as offensive and defensive coordinator, respectively. But not much was working during a 2-2 start that was capped by another lopsided loss to the Buccaneers (33-16).’
Four keys to the game to watch for in Super Bowl LIX
‘The biggest game of the year could very well be a tight one. And if so, watch out for what Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes can do late in the game. Kansas City has won its last 17 one-possession games, the latest of those wins coming against the Buffalo Bills. With Mahomes’ ability to sustain drives, it is hard to ever count out Kansas City. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense allowed opponents just 17.8 points per game – second best in the league. If the Eagles can keep scoring low, maybe they can stave off Kansas City long enough.’
Chiefs-Eagles: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their Super Bowl predictions
‘Bills fans understandably are still crushed their team isn’t in this game. This might not make them feel much better, but it would have been a tough matchup for Buffalo, just as it should be for Kansas City. Saquon Barkley just won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award, and Philadelphia has a young, fast defense that can give any team problems. One key for the Eagles is to keep Patrick Mahomes contained in the pocket. The Chiefs’ quarterback is so good at extending plays on third down. Defensively, I’d expect Kansas City to pressure Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has struggled at times with sack avoidance. Philadelphia ran off 10 straight wins in the regular season and dominated the NFC championship game. Beyond just being sick of watching Kansas City, Bills fans can root for the local connection with Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni being from Jamestown. Eagles 30-24.’

Hall of Famer says Josh Allen edged Lamar Jackson in the MVP race 'for the wrong reason'
‘”I get it, because [Josh] is a great quarterback. He hadn’t won one. Lamar had two.

But that’s all good. I don’t want it to sound like I’m hating on Josh because the brother is a tremendous quarterback. But he didn’t have the year Lamar had.”‘
