The Foligno brothers have no intention of following in the footsteps of the Kelce brothers.
Marcus Foligno and Nick Foligno were doing a joint interview with TNT ahead of Wednesday’s game between the Blackhawks (Nick’s team) and the Wild (Marcus’ team) when Paul Bissonnette starts each other’s podcasts. I asked if it was.
The question was clearly a reference to the Kelce brothers’ highly successful podcast “New Heights.”
Marcus, who led Minnesota to a 2-1 victory over Chicago, said this was something that was actually talked about.
“Nick actually brought it up one day,” Marcus Foligno responded.
Another Foligno was quick to point out that he didn’t think they were as “interesting” as NFL players and didn’t have the weight that Travis Kelce has since he started dating pop icon Taylor Swift. I was in tune.
“Unless [we’re] A date with Taylor Swift and our wives is even hotter,” Nick Foligno remarked in an attempt at humor, eliciting generous laughs from the studio crew.
Bissonnette said the brothers did a good job of dealing with him and “saved him from going to the kennel.”
This hockey-playing pair has a similar style to the Kelce brothers in that they like to be playful and give each other a hard time.
It was a great night for Nick Foligno and Marcus Foligno, both of whom featured prominently on the stat sheet.
Marcus dropped his glove and got into a fight with Blackhawks defenseman Jared Tinordi at 9:08 of the second period.
Nick then scored the tying goal at 13:44 of the second period.
But then Marcus got the best of his brother’s team, scoring the Wild’s winning goal midway through the third period.
