Just because Super Bowl LII is long over doesn’t mean the trash talking has stopped.

On Tuesday, Eagles tackle Lane Johnson continued pounding the Patriots — something he’d done a fair amount of before and after Philadelphia’s 41-33 championship victory in February.

In comments on The Steve Austin Show podcast, broadcast on Tuesday, Johnson even broke some news when he alleged that New England owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick each talked “s–t” to their Philadelphia counterparts, Jeffrey Lurie and coach Doug Pederson, before the big game.

Johnson did not elaborate on any specific “s–t.”  But he did say:

“There was obviously some stuff behind closed doors. Their owner talking s–t to our owner. Bill talking s–t to our head coach before the game. I’m not going to say it, but a lot of s–t kind of built up to that, and I just got tired of hearing about it, man, to be honest.”

If there was nastiness between Belichick and Pederson before the teams kicked off, it was not evident in on-field audio that was released by the NFL following the game.

In fact, just before kickoff, the coaches were heard congratulating each other on a “hell of a year,” as reported on Boston.com in February.

Belichick is even heard telling Pederson, “I tried to find a game where you were behind. I couldn’t find one.”

“There’s plenty,” Pederson replies, with a laugh.

That tone clashed with Johnson’s comments in the run-up to the game.

After the Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl with an NFC Championship Game victory over the Vikings, Johnson called Patriots quarterback Tom Brady a “pretty boy” and added, “There’s nothing I’d like to do more than dethrone that guy.”

Then, a week after Philadelphia’s win, he called New England a “fear-based organization” with players who “act like f—ing robots.”

Asked by Austin, “What’s the biggest difference between Philadelphia and the Patriots?” Johnson went off again on the five-time Super Bowl champions.

“Here’s what pissed me off,” Johnson said when asked about his previous comments.

“The Patriots, obviously, I respect their coach, I respect Bill, I respect Tom Brady. But just because the way that they won the Super Bowls, the Patriot Way, is that how everybody else is supposed to do the same thing? No, it’s not. And that’s what I got mad at, the arrogance by them.”

Johnson, who was suspended 10 games in 2016 for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, also said he wanted to show his teammates not to fear the Patriots — something he thinks happens often as a result of the team’s history of success.

“I got in a lot of trouble running my mouth, but my thinking was, they give too much respect to these guys, everybody’s half-ass scared of them before they get on the field,” Johnson said.

“… A lot of times before a game, a lot of guys are beaten mentally.

“I saw a defense that wasn’t overly talented,” Johnson went on. “It was all really about containing Tom Brady. We had a hard time doing that — he had 505 yards. But that was really it, man. Going into the game, I’m not going to be shell-shocked by it. That was kind of our thing going in. I think we had the upper hand on that.”
