Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I just do this.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Let's go, sticking job, Let's go, big boy, let's go,
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
There's a certain layer of hell that I'm in right
now knowing that the Super Bowl is in my team's
home stadium with my team's biggest rival, the Chiefs. Historic
rivalry between the Raiders and the Chiefs. And I don't
really know how to describe the Raiders Niners thing, because

(00:31):
it's not really a rivalry because they don't play that much.
But you know, those opposite sides of the Bay back in
the day, and you know they got our play by
play guy. I mean, it's just it's there's a lot
of disdain there. So I don't know, Arnie, if you
could have handpicked two worst representatives in the home of
the Raiders to basically make Raider fan feel as miserable

(00:55):
as I do right now. But hey, at least everybody
had fun today outside of Lions and Ravens fans, right right.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
At least we got to see a couple of good games,
and really, yeah, Kansas City, San Francisco was kind of
my pick at the beginning of the year when we
started this kind.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Of no it wasn't There is no kind of about.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh, yeah, I had Miami in Dallas, but that's because
I'm a Miami fan, and obviously if you just take
that away, I would have picked Kansas City, no doubt
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, you wouldn't have.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
In fact, you asked if we're giving Patrick Mahomes too
much credit or as you phrased.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It, oh you remember that, is he really who we
think he is?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
On many occasions?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Is that when I said, does the Emperor have no close.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
The Emperor has no clothes? Hold, I'm not done yet.
And all the things that you've said about Patrick Mahomes,
there is the oh, we're not worried about Kansas City
in the first round of the playoffs. I'm more wondering
how the Dolphins can have a home game in the
second round of the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I mean, we can go on.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
If anyone want to sit wants to sit here and
try to say they told you so tonight, it would
be me because I was the one to tell you
to quit saying dumb stuff, because all you do is
add to that. I don't know how to put it,
like just awesomeness that the Chiefs unfortunately are right now
and how a team that has done nothing but win

(02:14):
with this quarterback somehow still has a chip on its
shoulder arm he somehow still is able to say, see
you all doubted us, and guess what.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
No, you're right. There's a lot of people, myself included,
down in Kansas City.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
But I will tell you this, I'm not quite out
of put it. But can I say they got lucky
to win? They didn't deserve to win. I know it
doesn't really make much with Kansas City, Kansas City. I
know it doesn't make much of a difference. Was they
won anyway, But the Ravens did everything in their in
their power.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
To to give Kansas City the game. And they did.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I I mean the Ravens fumbling at the one yard line,
bad decisions.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Jackson didn't play all that well. I don't think. I
don't think he rd enough to be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
The Chiefs didn't score in the second half twenty times
that it just to put this game out of reach.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yet the Ravens kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I mean, really, Kansas City blessed, lucky, whatever word you
want to use to be able to say they go
to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
You're trying to tell me that a team that went
punt punt, punt, punt punt end of game might have
got a little bit of a break to not end
up winning that game. You're trying to tell me that
maybe Ravens. How about this question? Then yeah, with with
what you because listen, all credit to the Chiefs. They're
going to the Super Bowl. They earned it. But there

(03:40):
could not have been a bigger opponent for Baltimore today
than Baltimore. The Ravens were the Ravens worst enemy because
once Mahomes and Kansas City got up what I mean seventeen,
I mean even the field goal drive was a fifty

(04:01):
five yard drive, right, It's not as if it's like
so ninety seven yard drive and they took on No, No,
it really wasn't.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean, they went up seventeen to seven at the
end of the.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
First half, and Baltimore shut him down, I mean shut
them down. So who should be angrier today, Ravens fans
knowing the missed opportunities to thrown the triple coverage, the
fumble going into the end zone, the fumble early right
to kind of help propel San France ar Kansas City
with that short field. Would you give the Ravens fans

(04:32):
the nod for being the most bit bit or however
you want to phrase it, Ye, or Detroit know they
have the seventeen point lead and what had been their
calling card all season long, the risk versus reward. Forget
that we're risking everything and blowing it on a few
fourth down opportunities when they could have taken some points

(04:53):
and maybe been in a bit of different situation.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Great question, tough call here, tough call, you go fifty
to fifty. But but to be honest with you, I
think I have to be more upset if I'm a
Lions fan blowing the twenty four to seven lead, having
the turnover, having some things go against you. Should you
have gone forward on fourth down? Should you have kicked
field goals? We'll go through all the scenarios. I'm sure

(05:15):
later on I got But yeah, but I would think
if I'm a Lions fan, you really had that game
in your hand and you let it slip play even
even you know, with the game and you were down
by three with six minutes left to the chance to
get the game time fielgal if you wanted to do it,
they didn't want to do it. We'll get to that.
But if I'm a Lions fan, I'm more upset than

(05:38):
if I'm a Ravens fan. But I'm still pretty upset
if I'm a Ravens fan.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Well, moment ago, Dan Campbell was meeting with the media
and had this to say about his fourth down decisions.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
It's easy hindsight, and I get it, you know, I
get that, But I don't regret those decisions. And that's hard.
You know, it's hard because you know they didn't. We
didn't come through. It wasn't able to work out. But
I just I don't. I don't, and I understand the scrutiny.
I'll get that's part of the gig man, but you know,

(06:13):
we just just didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
So at the very least he's said, hey, I wouldn't
shange my philosophy, right right.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I think I agreed with him on two of the
three controversial decisions, so I'm okay with that, and I'm
okay I do with the third one, even though I'm
a coin flip on it. But I probably would have
done something different. So when we go through the scenarios,
but I feel bad for him. I'm not ripping him
like everybody else was on on Twitter saying he cost

(06:42):
him the game and it's all Dan Campbell's fault, and
and don't let him off the hook, and just because
he went and ford all year, then how could he
didn't go forward in the first half but he did
the second half and and all that nonsense. Not everything
is the same, you know, answer every time, Like you know,
heard guy's talking about blackjack. Sometimes you hit on sixteen,

(07:02):
sometimes you ordered on sixteen. Kind of depends on the
cards that came up before you. So you know, I
feel bad for the guy. I'm I'm not gonna be
one of those guys ripping on Dan Campbell though, that's
for sure.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I will say.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
I think the biggest surprise to me in both games, yeah,
was how teams in the teams had lost Detroit and
Baltimore and maybe him to a certain extent, even Kansas
City aren't e the run was working, I mean, oh yeah,
and they all just seemed to go away from it.

(07:36):
I know that, I know the score might have dictated
things to be a little different for Baltimore, but I
almost felt like they just started dropping Lamar Jackson like
ten yards deep in the pocket. I was like, all right,
dance around thereuntill someone gets open and don't get sacked.
That was literally their offense as you watched it play
out right through a majority of that game. I don't

(07:56):
know why they didn't try to run the football.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I don't know why he didn't run what he ran times.
I don't know what his you know, season high is.
I in they game like that, though, he's got to
be running like, I don't know, twelve fourteen times to
you know, pick up those big first downs. I mean,
the guy you had a touchdown in the first quarter
and had nothing after that, I mean, who you're gonna
blame on that? And that was on a broke good
play and throw the downfield. So their offense had nothing

(08:21):
going today.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
And then I shift to that late game and I
think there was a stat they showed at one point
where the Lions had three running backs who were all
gaining in that game more yards than Christian McCaffrey did. Right,
because Jamison Williams had the one big touchdown run, Jamior
Gibbs was over forty yards and at the time David

(08:42):
Montgomery was over forty yards and he ended up with
ninety three but Christian McCaffrey basically ended up out rushing
all but one of them. I mean because Detroit. I understand, again,
you fall behind, maybe you panic a little bit, but
they just teams just absolutely abandoned the run today. They
look like me playing Mad Narnie. They're just dropping back
and throwing bombs NonStop. And listen, I know Ben Johnson's

(09:04):
gonna get a head coach's job, and I know that
he deserves it, and I'm not saying that you panic
over this. And I know Todd Munkins a heck of
an offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens, and he won
a national championship last year with Georgia. In fact, I
think it was he was their OC for both of them.
I don't know, man, I just for some reason, I
don't want to say they got too cute. Maybe they
panicked a little bit, but I felt like there was

(09:26):
a lot of meat running the football left on the
bone for both Baltimore and Detroit here today.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Because they still moved the ball.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Like we had six minutes left, had a chance for
the tie in field goal. They came down and did
move the ball to get the lay touchdown didn't get
the on side kicked though, I thought for sure, I'm like, oh,
looking at its loose though, even though they touched it
before the ten yards. Somebody's gotta come up with a
better way to try to get an on side kick.
I don't know why you don't kick it up in
the middle, but that's for a whole other point.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's just so deflating trying to figure that you're gonna
get an on side kicked to try to go ahead
and win the game out there. But they moved the ball.
They just didn't get that lucky break. And then you
know the deflection that was caught for a touchdown, And
I mean, it was just one calamity after another at
that point.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
You know.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
And it also sucks because I'm watching these plays. I'm
watching the highlights right now, and I've got a sports
center up and they're showing the Reynolds drop and Jamison
Williams had a pretty reside.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Drop those two. The Renolds had a really tough one,
and there was it to drop. What was that the
one on fourth down? Geez?

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, you know, and you know, Bernie likes to always
talk about the Matt Stafford play in that NFC Championship
game against the Niners, right where basically you had a
forty nine er player drop a wide open interception or
maybe Matt Stafford in the Lions. All right, excuse me,
in that case, the Rams never even get to the
Super Bowl, right, Well, what if this Lion's defensive back

(10:53):
doesn't have a easy pick bounce right off his face mask.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I mean, I.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Appreciate how well brock pretty played down the street, but
you got to get a few breaks, and holy smokes,
that was the biggest break of the game for San
Francisco broc Party.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
You know, at some point earlier I'm like, oh, I'm
not sure he's got it. Today I started a questioning,
I go, this could be especially when they got that,
I go, I don't know if brock Party's got it
in him to lead him back from a twenty four
to seven lead at halftime.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
But give mister Irrelevant all the credit in the world.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
I mean, he didn't have big numbers out there, no
doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
But they got to break. The fumble was the big
thing out there.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
And you know the one where they passed up the
field goal with the six minutes left, that's the only one.
I kick it to tie it, only because if you
tie it with six minutes left, the other team maybe
is in his free wheeling and is able to, you know,
open up the playbook more. Maybe you're a little bit
more nervous the score is tied, even though a three

(11:54):
point game is still pretty close. I kind of put
the pressure back on that. But that's it's just, you know,
one reason.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Otherwise I have no problem for them going was it
fourth and three on that play or fourth and five?
Which fourth down? On this? Are you trying?

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I got them all written down right here in front
of me. I got them all go the.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Six minutes left in the game where they passed on
the field goal that.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Was when it was twenty seven to twenty four. That
was a fourth and three from the San Francisco thirty,
So it would have been.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Forty seven forty six yard field goal.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
You gotta you gotta go for that, I mean, the
long field goal. What is it gonna be like seventy
percent chance to make it. I don't have a problem
with them going forward on fourth and through.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't either.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I'm just warning you guys tonight as we come to
you live from the tire rack dot com Studios tire
rack dot Com The way tire buying should be an
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com will
help you get there and again the way tire buying
should be.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Now, my warning is this, Arnie.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
You'll bring up something about the Lions Niners game, and
then it sparks moment from the Ravens Chiefs game that
I feel like we need to talk about and we
need It's just both of these games had so many
incredible moments.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't know if we'll sit arout.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
And say these were two of the greatest championship games
we've ever seen, But at the very least, it gave
us incredible memorable moments that are kind of what sports
radio is all about, right, The decisions to go for
it on fourth down, the play calling, the big time plays.
I'm I mean, four point thirty six to go in
the game into twenty seven to twenty four game, the
Niners have the lead in the football and Brock Purty

(13:29):
tucks it and scrambles and we're getting the high fives
from his dad and his mom and his brother up
in the crowd. I mean, there's just these little moments
in these games that made all the difference in the world.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
You talk about the great moments, but yet all you
read on Twitter is all the negative moments and all
the negative stuff. Well, I mean, because all the negative
stuff about Dan Campbell and you know, you know the
Ravens and Lamar Jackson and you know, how come you
didn't do this display and do that. It's always the
negative stuff then the positive stuff out there. And I

(14:02):
think there's gonna be a lot of people talking about
the negative because they're gonna blame Dan Campbell on some
of the play calling out there.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Chris, I mean, have you have you been on Twitter before?
I mean, have you have you watched out? Have you
listened to this network? It's never Oh, what a season
for the Lions to get to this point. It becomes
my gosh, what a choke artist by Dan Campbell going
forward on fourth You know, it's just it can never
be a little bit of joy for the for the
journey to get there.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
But I understand it. I get it.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
It's it's there were tough calls all the way around.
What before we grab our first time out? What do
you think about the way both games.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Were officiated today, You mean, like if I thought it
was in general, because.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
I don't feel like we're complaining too much about mister no.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean there was a couple of holding calls. One
brought back a touchdown, right, yeah, I think Kansas City
it was. But always when they bring back a touchdown,
you kind of get upset about that.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
But I had holding. Why would you get upset about it?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I was more thinking of about the holding call whenever
the wide receiver was dragged down and they didn't throw
a flag for the Ravens right right.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
And you know I saw the laid hit on Mahomes.
He put his hands right to his face. For Yeah,
I really didn't have anything that was, you know, really
upset about or thought was atrocious or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
To be honest, I.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Think you can nitpick a few things.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, but that's always going to be like that, Roddell
in the NFL, they've got to be happy because we're
not sitting here talking about a controversial call. There is
an he won a game.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Well, but that one ref the one, you know, the
the Peter Brady ref Which one was that? The one
that was voice was cracking up when he got on
the mic.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Hard you did.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
You didn't get my reference to Peter Brady.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
I did, but I didn't understand what you were talking
about it. Come on one of the games. I didn't
listen with the sound on as much as I did
on his voice.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
His voice was cracking up when he made the announcements.
He's out like Peterbread the Brady.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
But getting that special time of life for a little bit.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
L Here are you Roady?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
By best off? Chris?

Speaker 4 (16:06):

let's start with the Ravens and the Chiefs. I think
Ravens fans should be kicking themselves the most tonight. And
I'm not sitting here telling you that Kansas City got lucky,
but Baltimore really missed some golden opportunities. And I've been

(18:18):
telling you about how good that defense is for Kansas
City all season long. They flexed their muscles, they made
big plays, but you also had a guy that lost
the fumble diving into the end zone. You had a
probably one of the worst throws of Lamar Jackson's career,
right my son.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Tru it in the triple coverage.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I couldn't believe he was I don't know what he
was looking at when he threw that up there. I mean,
even the defender had no chance to even excuse me,
the receiver had no chance to come back and knock
get down. I don't know why you would throw it
in that situation in the triple coverage.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
My son is not a sports fan, but he's starting
to become one, like a like a big sports fan.
He's texted me NonStop, and even he texted me, he's like,
what was that throw? Right right? You're right coverage. You
can't even complain about pass interference. Yes, the defensive back
tackled him and dragged him down, but there were two
other defenders right in front of him that were ready

(19:11):
to intercept the pass. You weren't making the play on
this period.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
On the on the fumble in the end zone was
the one yard line, the first down marker. I don't
I don't even remember on that because I I think
so no, because I thought all you had to do
was get to the one. So I'm saying, well, why
do you stretching it out to get it too the
end zone? But it was kind of like a bang
bang playing anyway. I can't fault them for that. It

(19:37):
just slipped right through his hands. I know somebody got
their hands on it, but geez, that was the killer
right there.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
They make that.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Who knows how the rest of the game plays out,
especially with the way they they shut down Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
That that was the killer, right there.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
It was second and eight of the case nine, so
I guess he could have got a touch first down
without scoring a touchdown the right.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So yeah, he's gonna drive.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I know, I no, I know you're thinking that. That's
why I'm not gonna blame it on that. But he
had the first down so he didn't have to reach
out for it. They would add the first and goal
with the one, but instincts is what it is, and
you know, how can you blame it? Just just lost
control of it and went right into the end zone.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Let's see here, who do you.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Let's hear from Lamar Jackson real quick here Arnie on
his turnovers and that frustration tonight.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (20:22):
Here, he felt like, if we wouldn't turn the ball over,
we definitely would have had a shot.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
We definitely would have came out with win.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
But he did a great job, and I turned the
ball over in point points on the board.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, that very first turnover. In fact, I mean it's
kind of funny. Well, I mean it's not funny the
Ravens fans, but he kind of felt like, all right,
we're heading towards an offensive shootout. Kansas City scores on
its first drive, right Baltimore bounces back, it's the touchdown.
Kansas City scores. You're like, okay, here we go. And

(20:50):
then Baltimore has the sack fumble, the ship fumble on
the very next The.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Question to be asked here is how could Baltimore, even
though I told you they got the seven points out
of broken play because they had Jackson sacked on the
play right, an amazing play right breaks away Caeson, guy downfield,
throws at the guy's open by two steps. It's a
touchdown there and that's it. Nothing else worked well. I

(21:15):
shouldn't say that because they had the fumble in the
end zone. But for the most part, nothing worked. And
you're at home and the weather's bad and you held
Kansas City. If you couldn't beat Kansas City, now, my goodness,
this was the golden opportunity. I mean, you ask me
whose fans feel the worst. You aren't feeling good if
you're a Ravens fan leaving that stadium, say there was

(21:37):
no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
And you mentioned not a lot was working well even
on that drive that was the big pass play is
eight flowers that set it up right right, and he
got all in his fields and started talking trash and
got deemed with the taunting penalty.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
But they picked up the first down anyway down to
the eleven yard. That's where they got into the eleven
excuse me. So they did get it.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
To the eleven and that's why they can.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, so yeah, I know that. But it's all coming
back to me now, back.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Okay, like all the synapses are firing on it right now, right,
So that really.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Didn't penalize them as much as I thought.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Well, and you know, you you turn right around, you
felt like you got something going because you maybe you
open up the defense a bit right and you beat
them deep, but you turn it over, you force the punt,
you get the football back, you're driving, you're driving, you're
in the red zone, and you make the triple coverage throw.
I mean, I'm just so many sony mistakes, and that
I know Kansas City chief fans are probably like, hey,

(22:36):
how about the credit to the Chiefs and their defense.
It's coming, guys, It's coming, I promise, because you deserve it.
But here was John Harball on the overall team's accomplishment
here that nobody wants to talk about right now. Nobody
wants to hear right now. Especially whenever you're hosting the
AFC Championship game and you just got beat.

Speaker 9 (22:52):
There's so many stories on this team, so many individual stories.
The message is in your is you know, high, straight ahead,
you know you chin up, chest out and uh and
understand what you what you did accomplish.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Boy Bett Maller always told me the best stories in
the loser's locker room. I know that's kind of boring.
I don't want to hear about. I want you to
be mad that you turn the ball over Lamar Jackson.
I want the I want the Odell Beckham's dad tweet
to be true and be real.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Is not true I sent out to you right now.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
I think it's fake.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh yeah, bummed me out. People though that we're talking about.
There was a tweet I thought was from Odell Beckham
Junior's dad saying what was it? Just kind of ripping
on Lamar.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I basically said, Lamar Jackson cost my son another shot.
Pretty fantastic, Yeah, I mean, too real quick. Patrick Mahomes
on winning a couple of games on the road.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
Yeah, it was cool, just going into two hostile environments,
having to come together as a team and to win
those games, and and hold that trophy. It really was special.
But if I have my choice, I'd rather do it
an arrowhead. So we'll try after we go through the
super Bowl, hopefully win it. We're gonn trying to get
it back an arrowhead.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Still wild though you think about it.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
To nineteen to go in the game, Baltimore has Kansas
City in a third and nine, third and nine, and
on a play that Marquez vaulting Scantling hasn't made all
season long, Arnie, he makes arguably his biggest play of
the year and maybe one of the best throws of
the year from.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Pass out of everybody that catch that one, he thought
that one, and he almost couldn't because it was always
going to go through his hands on that. So what
a big catch that is. And by the way, I
can't believe. Really the person I'm most upset about is
Tucker the kicker for the Ravens too.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Okay, I'm furious to him.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Okay, okay, we'll get through that coming up a little
bit later on. Here's Andy Reid before the Segre comes in.
He give us all the updome.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
I'm so happy for the guys and how they how
they handled that when it came time to put the
hammer down, they put the hammer down, which was which
was important. And the best part is we're not done.
You know, we've got another game, and you love these
seasons to carry on as long as they can possibly
carry on.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
And we're there.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
So the Chiefs won at seventeen to ten. Despite five
punts on consecutive possessions in the second half, Raven's offense
couldn't get gone. All right, let's dive into what happened
in the Niners Lions game next, But first Steve de
Seger comes rolling in with everything from a busy day
of sports.

Speaker 11 (25:23):
What's up, Steve, Hello, gentlemen, Happy to be on the
air with you on one of the great nights of
the sports year. And you mentioned the Patrick Mahomes de
Marquez Veldez gantling essentially clinching catch with just over two
minutes to go today this was the Korean call.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Of that scanty.

Speaker 11 (25:53):
And by the way, we can't say enough against Zay Flowers,
not just the fumble. They only had five plays on
that whole drive. He had receptions on three of them.
But can you be a worst teammate with that call
against him? For the taunting, the long bomb about fifty
five yards to set you up at first and goal,

(26:14):
and he throws the defender off and throws the ball
at him, stands over him, taunting an obvious fifteen yard
penalty that pushes him back. So then when he makes
his second of the three catches on the drive, that
just gets him back to the ten all over again.
And then the third catches, what do you know, fumble
it about the one turnover and you lose by seven.

(26:35):
It's just there were so many teams I know that
has his great rookie season went on said, boy, we
could have drafted that guy in the first round. And
then this is the only day where they said, boy,
glad we didn't draft that guy in the first round
because this is something he absolutely must learn from. It's
a playoff game, close as it gains.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, but the whoa, whoah, whoah, don't make it sound
like that was you know, Yeah, the fumble was the
deciding play.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
They still got the yardage back and they had it first. No,
that's exactly my point.

Speaker 11 (27:03):
When they throw to him three times, they don't if
they don't need to get the yardage back, they probably
would have scored already it was first and goal. If
he just doesn't have the penalty. They got pushed out
of the red zone entirely by the penalty.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
It's just it.

Speaker 11 (27:20):
You're being a bad teammate. Somebody needs to emphasize that
you made it all about you and pushed your team
back fifteen yards inexcusable. Chiefs wound up winning at top
seeded Baltimore to take the AFC Championship seventeen to ten
in a game that was seventeen to seven at the half.
Chiefs scored touchdowns on their first two possessions. Today, Travis

(27:40):
Kelce was targeted eleven times. He had eleven catches, one
hundred and sixteen yards and a touchdown. And then there's
the Niners come back thirty four to thirty one over
Detroit to take the NFC crown as part of the
wild third quarter on Westwood one forty.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Five spins Bultoit three. On the end of the goods,
it sells it's a fumble. Foot owners have recovered food, owners.

Speaker 11 (28:05):
Of recovered Kevin Harlan with the call it was a
seventeen point halftime deficit. Erased what you mentioned about how
well the running game was going for Detroit in this contest.
In fact, they were the only NFL team ever in
the Super Bowl era to have three different players rush

(28:26):
for at least forty yards and a touchdown east in
the first half of any game, playoffs or regular season,
and they didn't wind up securing the w because of
this comeback. To be down in a postseason game by
seventeen or more and still win, that's a rare comeback.
The Niners are on the list, and in fact, it's

(28:47):
happened being town like that in a halftime of a
playoff game one hundred and fourteen times. San Francisco is
the only one of those hundred fourteen teams to erase
the deficit before the third quarter is even over. That's
how much the momentum shift we saw in the postseason.
A year ago the Chargers and Brandon Staley gag the

(29:07):
huge lead larger than seventeen at halftime at Jacksonville. Add
the Niners to the list.

Speaker 7 (29:12):
You know.

Speaker 11 (29:13):
Jason Cole is a regular, longtime NFL writer, regular guest
on one of our weeknight shows. He tweeted after the
game the problem with Detroit that analytics doesn't account for
in going forward on fourth down a lot is the
emotional impact of not getting it. Ironically, that is almost
a direct quote from Brandon Staley about a year and

(29:35):
a half ago. Not that it changed his behavior, but
he literally said that exact same thing. The Lions two
turnovers on downs in the second half and they lose
by three. San Francisco scores twenty seven unanswered points in
the second half thirty four thirty one the final. So guys,
we get the Super Bowl matchup that we had four

(29:56):
years ago when Kansas City beat San Francisco thirty one twenty.
Niners did lead in the fourth, but the Chiefs got
three straight touchdowns in the last six and a half minutes.
Not many players left on either roster from that It
was Jimmy Garoppolo against Tyreek Hill, for example. But Chiefs win,
then the Niners win. There's your matchup in two weeks

(30:17):
in Vegas. Everything final in the NBA. Chicago has won
at Portland. Orlando beat Phoenix despite forty four points from
Devin Booker, Indiana and Atlanta with wins. Hawks won on
a late dunk, beating Toronto by one, and the Detroit
Pistons were five and forty when even the Pistons won
today beat Oklahoma City one twenty to one oh four.

(30:38):
You think, okay, Detroit, this is your day. Lions up big,
here we go. But a fourth and two incompletion for
Detroit instead of trying a forty six yard field goal attempt,
then fourth quarter, fourth and three incompletion, instead of trying
a forty eight yard field goal attempt when you were
only down three at the time and the Lions lose
by three?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Big?

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Do you heartbreak city? Thanks Steve.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
I saw this. Twitter is an incredible place right now.
As you might imagine, I just saw Portanoy's tweet and
I wanted to get your thoughts on it because I
think I agree with it. He said, I'm not exaggerating
considering the team, the city's city, et cetera. This may
be the worst loss I've ever seen. Detroit was a
thousand percent pattern. Balls, bouncing off heads, fumbles, drop passes,

(31:27):
not kicking field goals. Everything went wrong, devastating. Yeah, thank
You's on to something, man.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I don't know about.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
One of the worst losses. But again, that's why I said,
you're feeling bad. If you're a Liance fan, you yeah,
I played him. You out of seventeen point halftime lead. Yeah,
you had a turnover, but you should over you should
be able to overcome that, even if they do score
the touchdown. It just, gosh, just a couple of bad decisions,
not even bad decisions, I don't want to say that,

(31:55):
just a couple of drop passes really is what would
happen there.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
There's not even anything here that you can look at
statistically and say, well, if I told you before the
game this, this or that, because everything was pretty even
between the Niners and the Allions. I mean everything was
pretty even. GoF through for two sixty, rock party through
for two fifty eight. The Niners ran for one hundred

(32:19):
and fifty five yards on thirty three carries.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Twenty nine carries one eighty two. Yeah for for the Lions.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
I mean, it's just there. There is no massive number.
Twenty eight first downs to twenty three, time of possession
a little bit in favor of San Francisco, but not
nearly what the Chiefs and Ravens were. So it's one
of those games where you look back and I mean
not eat. The turnover obviously killed Detroit, but in that

(32:47):
same vein San Francisco had the turnover there's only five
combined penalties between the two teams. I mean, usually whenever
you have a comeback like this, you look at the state,
he's like, whoa ex player went off? Or wow, look
at the discrepancy here.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
But Arnie, this major controversial play, you know, or.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
A call somewhere or something.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
This was just one of those to where it's heartbreak
city for Detroit. By god, we gotta stop and give
credit to brock Party in San Francisco who just started
to click.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
It's right, simple, No, you're right, he did start to click.
Their offense started to go. They started this steam role there.
I really felt that. Yes, again, as much as I
want to give San Francisco credit, Detroit had the missed
fourth down on the what it was it the Reynolds drop,
they had another fourth down drop it. You know, those

(33:40):
are killers, you know, because it takes away from the
first down. Then you get a whole another set of downs.
The clock is running. Who knows how many yards you
pick up after that. It's just insurmountable. When you when
you start dropping fourth downs and turn it over on downs,
it's just an absolutely killer there.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
This is wild.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I mean, I just feel like we've started to scratch
the surface, and we've almost wrapped hour number one, so
let's turn it over to you. We'll hit your interactions
on X when we come back at Stinking Genius one.
I'm at Plank Show. Everybody should be following us at
Fox Sports Radios. We're coming to your life talking Super
Bowl fifty eight from the Tirack dot com studios. It's
any In Plank on a Fox Football Sunday.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
dot Com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Can I just prove to you that I actually looked
at your rundown you sent?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, yeah, I would like to talk.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
About Roman numeral number. Let's see here is that eight?

Speaker 11 (34:44):
Eight?

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Why are you all mad at Justin Tucker?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
You saw what happened in the pregame, didn't you? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (34:51):
I mean sure?

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (34:56):
You'll let Travis Kelsey take your helmet and throw it away?
You let Mahomes kick away your kicking team. You know
what I would have done, well, don't you? I would
have gotten a couple of my teammates, a couple of
my offensive linemen had them walk over to me, picked
up my helmet for me, placed it right backward, was
stand over and say now let's see you touch the helmet,

(35:18):
and if they did, there would have been some fighting.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I don't know if you.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Want Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes throwing down some punches
before the game, you don't do that to my team.
I can't believe you didn't make a big deal about that.
Very disappointed.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
I there's the obvious thing. I mean, he's a kicker.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
I mean that's that's why you get your teammates over there,
you get your offensive linemen, get get over here, kickside
for me.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, come here, they're picking on me.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
I will say that was a story that did kind
of disappear rather quickly after the game got going. But
it was I mean, it was kind of jerkish, right,
But boy, I what did the kids say that they're
they're in their bag? Am I sounding somewhat cool to Raina?
Maybe Burch can help you out here. I felt like
Travis Kelcey was he was back on his bs. He

(36:10):
was in his bag today.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
He was truck should have gotten his face started that.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Thank you say fucking me already, I'm the hip.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
If Tucker was cool, he would have gotten in Mahomes
and Kelsey's face, and then his teammates would have saw
what was going on and come running over.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
I mean there would be Can you imagine all the
outrage that all the non kickers would have had on
the debate shows and here on this could you? LeVar
Arrington and Brady Quinn might have blown a gasket if
Justin Tucker started an all out brawl.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
They started it. You know, they moved his helmet, Well,
they told him the move and he didn't want to move,
so they moved his helmet. They moved something else that
was Travis Kelsey, and then Mahomes kicked the kicking tea
the kicking tea holder. H you know that got it
out of everything? Yeah, I mean I saw it.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
You're not You're not incorrect, but I kind of I
felt like Travis Kelsey was being the ultimate wrestling term
heel today and I think he was doing it while
he was being as productive as he's been all season long.
You can get caught up in the Taylor Swift stuff
all you want, but he just became the all time

(37:19):
leading pass catcher in playoff history today, surpassing Jerry Rice.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Great piece for him. He had a great game.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
He drew a personal foul in a moment where Baltimore
he could not stop getting in its own way. And
I mean there were times this year. I know everybody
will find an old tweet here there, guys, it's sports.
I mean, come on, don't go listen to these old shows.
After Arnie tells you how Patrick Mahomes is done. And
Travis Kelsey, it's what we do. We overreact to things

(37:51):
because we only get eighteen weeks of the NFL regular
season and we only get what four weeks in the playoffs,
So we're gonna overreact a lot of time. And Travis Kelcey,
he did not look good this year, No he didn't.
But tonight today that was the Travis Kelcey. That is
a game plan wrecker.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
And I know that.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
And everyone's talking about the Ravens defensive coordinators. Maybe the
next head coach at Seattle and Mike McDonald is a stud,
but holy smokes, could he have figured out, in some way,
shape or form, how to cover Travis Kelcey. He's the
only guy that could hurt you for the Chiefs as
a receiver.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Now that Travis Kelcey is going to the Super Bowl,
you think he's more or less likely to retire after
the season because he's made it to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Okay, I'll go over the top grip.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Is Andy Reid more or less likely to retire because
Wrio has started that right and others have kind of
jumped on that. We can talk about Kelsey. We got
next Sunday show that other rumor. And I'm sure Andy Reid,
I don't know why he would retire. I mean, he's
got everything. His defense is now cooking with Spagnola.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Right, But if you're asking be more likely, I'd say
more likely to retire because he did go to the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Though, for Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid are just like
you focus on Kelsey here, no Frandy Reid. So you
say he made the super Bowl, Yeah, probably more likely
to say, audios, right exactly.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I think he would have come back had they not
made the Super Bowl. Not that he's going to retire anyway.
I think he's going to come back anyway, But if
he was, he's more likely to retire because they made
it to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Yeah, Roger the Engineer, who is a diehard Chiefs fan.
It's checked in a couple of times tonight. He writes,
if the Ravens would have won, all anyone would be saying,
since they beat the forty nine ers so bad that
they would be the favorites. The Chiefs are the dogs
in the super Bowl. And there you have it. Mahomes
motivation not to mention Purty is favorite over Mahomes. What

(39:49):
read that again?

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah, Chris, that line has changed dramatically, has it? It
opened up at two and a half for for San Francisco, Okay,
and I read on Twitter within minutes ago that so
much money has come in on Kansas City that in
South San Francisco minus one. So yeah, it's already dropped

(40:13):
a point and a half because so much money is
coming in on Kansas City.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Well that that's that's something. We've got a storyline development
to talk to Todd Furman about next hour. But hey,
when we come back, Roger the Engineer got it started
a lot of good tweets tonight, a lot of good
submissions on X We'll dive into ma all coming up
next hour.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
One of the books the super Bowl is set.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
We're breaking it down all night long with Arnie Spaniel
on Chris Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
All right, our second hour we call is this the
Power Hour? Or is this no?

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (40:51):
By the way, I'm very excited about the show.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
In two weeks will be the first time in a
decade that me, you, and the Saga will be doing
the show together out in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Very excited about that.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
Well, I thought you were taking it off because your
Dolphins were going to be in the Super Bowl and
you'd already plan to take that day off. Isn't that
all we heard? I mean literally, that's all we heard
through like eighteen weeks.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Of the regular season.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
True, so you're off. Maybe the Saga and I will
be there in Vegas, but you won't.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, I'll be there in Vegas. Oh you won't.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
I will not.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Actually, if they're not we if they're not taking you
to Vegas, that I'm not going. I'm just putting my
foot down. Then.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
I've worked in Fox Sports Radio in some way, shape
or form since about two thousand and seven. Yes, I've
never received an invitation to the Super Bowl, and I
don't anticipate receiving one unless the game is played in.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Norman, Oklahoma, or maybe Tulsa.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Maybe Tulsa that's played there could get the call in Dallas.
That's a short drive. But I I mean, I plan
on being here with you on Super Bowl Sex. Oh,
we don't get your plans on.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Are we working the shift? How many times? How many
years in a row? If you worked Super Bowl first?
Super Bowl Sunday? Was von Miller winning the MVP?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Which is I predicted that by the way you.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Did in the in the pre game in our show
because we started usually five Central time, you said, hey,
that might not be a bad bet to take von
Miller as the MVP. That's exactly what you said, So boom,
patch yourself on the back for it. So what was that?
Broncos Panthers? So we've seen a few say going down

(42:29):
your memory lane together is probably the sweetest thing I've
ever heard.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
I'm over here like.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
And in fact, that was was that Super Bowl fifty?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Have we those eight years ago? Is what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Wow, Hey, maybe we've been doing this too long.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
Don't be talking about our anniversaries because that's whenever they
get you, they're like, dang, they've been doing this for
way too long, and they decide we've got to go
in a different direction.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
With this, so yeah, don't don't, don't bring it up.
I also thought that put the worst host on. Yeah
when the game's on? Is that not true?

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Or because nobody's listening, that's but see Big Ben used
to have the Super Bowl extravaganza, right, that was his deal?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
You know what else we were also, I think my
favorite super Bowl that we were on the air together
was the twenty eight to three Super Bowl, because that's
whenever you were all you were so happy that you thought, yeah,
you thought the Patriots are going to get blown out,
and then all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Looking for law and order on my TV, and.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Right not knowing what we're going to talk about, You're like,
I don't know we're going to talk about in the
second half of this game, and then lo and behold,
Atlanta comes back out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
So I'm sorry the Patriots here. So yeah, so I.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Think, well, wait a minute, hold on, maybe we've been
doing it longer than that, because I thought, weren't we
on the air together Whenever the interception happened to the
goal line with marsha on Lynch or.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
No, I don't think so. I don't think it could
have been though, could have been. I was living in
Buffalo at the time, but I was working for the
for the network too, so I'm not sure. I don't
think so.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
Long, let's just stick with Super Bowl fifty being our
first super Bowl together. How's that all right? That'll make
it easier. Well, we'll see if it continues, right, I have.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Did They usually ask us around this week, but we
don't know. We don't know what's gonna happen this time.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
Well, and you and you you never know. Maybe they're like, hey,
you guys are so popular, we need you to just
be on all day, right, So it could could Scotch
Piro might call and say, Arnie, you and Plank will
start at six am and you will go until midnight,
right right, Which is a possibility, strong possibility. Today A
lot of side stories because more people are probably watching

(44:47):
football than typically do, and a lot of fans like
myself are focused on just you know, two games, where
might during the regular season to be watching the red
zone chain an more and you're not necessarily listening to
the analyst. A lot I felt as if I saw
less hate for Tony Romo today than I typically do.

(45:10):
I still saw some hate, sure shirt, yeah right, And
I felt like I saw a little bit more love
for Greg Olsen.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I definitely saw you today.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Definitely saw a lot more love for Greg Olsen than
happened all year long.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
So I'll give him that.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
You know, they don't bother me or make me go
crazy one way or the other, even if they say
something that I don't agree with.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I know so many people get unhinged and and.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Go, I can't believe you said that these guys are
the worst.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I just never really got that.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
They don't make or break my broadcast anyway, So I
really don't get all unhinged on something they say mean neither.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
And I know everyone's like how Tony Roma just talks
too much?

Speaker 2 (45:52):
They all talk too much.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
But you're learning something, at least from Greg Olsen where
he's explaining things to you. I saw Eric and Cincinnati wrote.
One thing that amazes me is the media man crush
on Greg Olsen. All of my NFL friends ask, does
this guy ever stop talking?

Speaker 2 (46:10):
I find the contrast interesting.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Does anybody ever text you or email you saying you
were like the worst play by play guy, I.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Hate you, You're horrible. No, stop it. They know I'm
that serious.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
I mean, it's it's it's Twitter, man, you frush outs.
Probably not maybe probably Okahumba fans more than anyone, but
it's just everyone can be an a hole on Twitter.
On he look at you man about not making your
wife's shovel snow.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
I mean, come on, that's that's true. But I just
understand what what do they want you to do? Stop calling,
stop doing that, stop stop being so anime. I don't
know what what they want from somebody that's doing the
play by play.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Let's see, let's take a quick little Twitter search of
Tony Romo. Uh, here's one Jason our buddy, Jason Stewart.
Jay stew writes one thing Today proved from a game
production standpoint, Greg Olsen talks circles around Tony Romo. They're
making fun of how Tony Romo seems to have a

(47:16):
very funny feeling every time Tony Patrick Mahomes does anything great, right,
SOA says, listening to Tony Romo when your team is losing.
They show a dude jumping up in the air and
kicking his TV. So there's a lot of angry things
that are put out there about all broadcasters, aren't he
it happens.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I think Tony would actually be a good talk show host,
to be honest, I think he'd be very good at that.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
Is this where you're in? Minus that he called your show.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
No, but that's a good time to bring it up.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
What he did call my show was actually pretty funny
and was on a long time.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
He could have easily done a couple of hours with
no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
Well, as we come to you live tonight from the
tire rack dot com studios. You don't get Tony Romo,
now you get Arnie Spanner. I'm Chris playing tire rack
dot com. We'll help you get there on Unmatched the selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard to protect in over ten
thousand recommended installers, tire rack dot com the way tire
buyings should be.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Are you ready to hit some of these tweets in depth? Yeah,
we got a lot of tweets, There's no doubt a lot.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Let's roll through it, Brad and lost wages rights. I'm
not a Kelsey fan at all, but Tucker deserved that.
They didn't start it Why was he on their five
yard line? What if Mahomes steps on that and rolls
his ankle? Practice on your own side, kicker, Please someone
bring back Arnie.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
This has to be his evil twin.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Well, I did wonder why Tucker was on that. And
usually when you're warming up kicking field goals, aren't you
kicking from like the thirty five to forty the forty five?
Why is he warming up at the five yard line?
And usually the offensive teams warm up in their own
end zone or you know, deep in their own territory.
So I did see that. I didn't know if Tucker
was out there by himself for what what.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Was going on?

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Colin writes, this was a great championship day to remember,
with many questions. Did the Ravens play tight or underachieved?
Did the Chiefs narrowly avoid defeat or battle out of
w did the Lions choke or not play good situational football?

Speaker 5 (49:09):
And were the Niners lucky?

Speaker 4 (49:11):
I mean literally Collin segment because you're he's right in
that right, Which way do you.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Go with it? Again?

Speaker 3 (49:19):
I hate to be down in the middle, But it
was a little of everything. The Ravens did play tight,
like I said, when you put up seven in the
first and you get nothing after that, and that was
on a broken play, Chris, And you did such a
great job defensive you and holding Kansas City in the
second half. Really should have pulled this game out. And
you fumbled at the one yard line of the end
zoner or whatever. And you're playing at home, weather conditions

(49:44):
in your favor. Yeah uh, and you just let it
slip through your fingers. Never did they really put it
together like they were gonna take the momentum, you know
what I mean. They never got that big yeah, the touchdown,
but they never got that big play or the big
thing in their favor where.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
He said, okay, here come the Ravens. Now they're ready
to roll.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
It just never got to them where they caught Kansas
City and passed them. So, I jeezus, you gotta feel
bad if you're a Ravens fan, no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
Mister.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Nobody writes what needs to be said about the Ravens
Chiefs game that once again Baltimore fails to show up
for the big game. Lamar Jackson, for all his talent,
obviously didn't any enhancements before the game because he came
up small.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Well again, you could blame Lamar Jackson for the throwing
into the triple coverage.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
That was his fault.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
He did have two hundred and seventy two yards, but
Chris he had like like one hundred something yards. I
mean in like the third he wasn't doing anything. He
didn't have the offense going bad quarterback rating a lot
of incompletes. I felt he didn't run the ball enough,
even though he ran it eight times.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
He just didn't do enough.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I'm not gonna say he's not a great quarterback, but
this game he just didn't do enough.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
No, no, And I just I love our show. I
love that we get a chance to instantly react to
things that happen right and we don't have the benefit
of sitting here for twenty four hours after the game
and like really thinking about like, oh, what did that
mean or what does that day?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
What is wild? Because right away there's.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
People that want to have some sort of legacy conversation
about if Lamar is Lamar Jackson truly a big game quarterback?
Were any of the games to get them to this
point big games? That's always been my question. I like,
do this because we don't get caught up in that
right now, when the season's over, I'm sure there's a
time for it, but I'm really not looking forward to

(51:48):
that conversation because he's right, mister Nobody, You're right, Lamar
Jackson did not play well, and you cannot play well
and not suck me. You can have a bad game
or a bad throw and it's okay because it happens.
But Hope's had some bad throws where he was bailed
out because of what he just has, that chemistry with Kelsey.

(52:09):
He bobbed the couple up. The most quarterbacks would probably
have picked.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Out of the four teams, who's the goat to the day?
And I don't mean the greatest of all time. I
mean who's the literal go to the day? It's Lamar Jackson?

Speaker 5 (52:20):
Is it not?

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Who else are you gonna go ahead and pick on
out of the four teams on there?

Speaker 4 (52:26):
Well, I mean, it's it's hard not to choose Jackson.
But I mean it suddenly doesn't mean he stinks. It's right,
certainly doesn't mean he's terrible. Someone might argue, well, Arnie's
Jay Flowers didn't necessarily have the best thing, right, He
had the Touchdow he could, but he had the fumble,
he had the personal faalue.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
He made a lot of mistakes.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
But I would pull back and just say this, we
get so caught up in having to decide where someone
is historically.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Right now, we.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Got time, we got we got time.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
We got a two weeks to talk about a super Bowl.
Lamar Jackson is a side long term with Baltimore. He's
not going anywhere. He's gonna be back, and I'm all
in to bet Arnie. I bet Baltimore is gonna be
prett damn good next year. In fact, I bet going
into the season and Joe Burrow is gonna be healthy,
so that's gonna make things much better for Cincinnati. But
Baltimore and Cincinnati are gonna be among the favorites in

(53:20):
the AFC North again. So he'll try to improve what
he needs to improve on. And I'm not ready to
sit there and be like, oh yeah, this guy, he's
just not a big game player.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
I think he's gonna learn from this. I think he'll
get better.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
I really do.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Also, by the way, I'm just wondering if any of
our listeners are if they're fans of Kansas City or
San Francisco if they're going out to Vegas.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
I saw at the hotel price with them.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
No, no, no, no, no, no no. I saw the prices. They
are outrageous for some.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
Of the room bowl man.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Yeah, but to figure with all the hotel rooms in Vegas,
it wouldn't reach those those heights. But I'm I'm seeing
like three four five hundred dollars a night. I mean,
it's and that's just early in the week. Once against
the Friday, it really jumps up. It has just gotten
expensive to go to Vegas out there, but I could

(54:10):
see it just being just bombarded with Chief fans and
forty nine er fans wanted to go to Vegas for
this one.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
This one's good. This is gonna be a tough ticket.
By the way, it's gonna be tough.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
I saw where the cheapest one was eight or nine
thousand dollars or something like that.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
I would go buy a brand new TV if I'm
gonna spend eight grand. I mean, so don't you want
to be there when your team at No, I'm good,
I'm gonna watch it from home. I ain't spent an
eight grand on that. Uh, maybe Lions fan might bay
hits us up at bakes here on Twitter rights. What
Lions fans and apologists cannot do right now is see
the other perspective. This was a group of dogs in

(54:49):
San Francisco that never game up and just swung it.
So what they did the week before too, Man, they
were dead in the water against Green Bay. How many
times have we declared brock Party a joke and San
Francisco overrated? And then all of a sudden you look up,
You're like, damn, they're up to scores with two minutes
to go in this game.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
What just happened here?

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Yeah, we weren't saying that when they lost three games
in the row. What are we saying about brock Party
right now after? Like, well, see, why do.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
You go back to something like two months ago.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
We weren't saying that.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
Well, no, we weren't. Deebo Samuel will hear it too,
and was out.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
All three of those games, right right, But what are
we saying about brock Purty now after, you know, especially
at the beginning of the year where they'm thinking about
getting Tom Brady to replace him. I don't think I
reportedly right. I don't think his job is ever going
to be questioned again. That's for sure.

Speaker 5 (55:42):
Well, I think just the opposite.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
I think that there will be people that will look
at today and be like, anyone could have done what
he did. You watch, I guarantee you, and you change
my mind on this because you know why people do it,
because he was a mister irrelevant. If Rock Party was
his second or a third round pick, right, I don't
think you'd be getting.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
This definitely if he was a first round pick.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
But because he was a seventh round pick, there's that
stigma like when you were a walk on. And he
wasn't just a seventh round pick, Garney, he was DFL man.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
He was the last guy in the draft. Yeah, and
I don't think he can get that out. He was
responsible personally what for like four or five I'm not
saying good plays. I'm saying phenomenomenal, big time poays twice
where he ran or maybe more than that, but just
some big time plays he came up with to get

(56:33):
the victory for the forty nine ers.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
All right, when we come back to the Tirack dot
com studios, let's check in with her buddy Todd Furman.
How wild was that money line for say San Francisco
after the first half and how much craziness does he
see in line movement over the next two weeks Before
we get to Super Bowl fifty eight, it's already in
plank on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports
Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR
to listen live.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
All right, is that time where we say, what's up
to our buddy Todd Furman the bet to Board podcast
on Twitter at Todd Furman. It's aren't even plank on
a Fox Football Sunday, all right, Todd, I just got
to know what that money line at halftime looked like
for the Niners. Was it profitable or did it not
shift as much as you might anticipate.

Speaker 12 (57:25):
It doesn't move nearly as much as people think when
you have a team coming in as a touchdown favorite,
even when you face that level of adversity, don't get
me wrong. But at the same time, the odds weren't
astronomical by any stretch of the imagination, because when you
look at San Francisco, I mean, it was a team
that was never more than a massive underdog in terms

(57:45):
of the live odds. They were a nine point favorite
at the break, chasing that deficit, and I don't think
any of us saw the way that second half unfolded
as something that was probable or likely given some of
the issues of forty nine ers had moving the football
in the first thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
The books do overall, because I would think that more
people were on San Francisco and Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
But how did the books do overall? Oh?

Speaker 12 (58:09):
A second result was good for the house. The over
not so much, but the fact that the Niners end
up winning the game with the Lions, don't win the
game outright, but find a way to cover public support
for the Troy Lions. There but a lot more liability
to the money line. And then the first game a
rare occurrence where you had a lot of professional betters
that got out ahead of it. With the Baltimore Ravens,
you had recreational betters more or less split. So that

(58:30):
game actually works out a little bit for the house.
It did create some moneyline liability though with the Chief.
Anytime you get Patrick Mahomes catching a number of that magnitude,
it's going to attract some recreational betters, especially at prices
a two to.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
One or better Todd where is We're not big on
legacy conversations now, but I'm just curious your opinion. Where
is that disconnect for Lamar Jackson in these big games,
these championship games. We know he's capable, we know he's
got all the skill in the world, but some bad throws, coverage,
some mistakes. What do you feel like that disconnect for

(59:01):
him in these big moments occurs?

Speaker 12 (59:04):
I think a combination of factors. I don't want to
put it all just on him, but you look at
the Baltimore Ravens, especially in that first half, the game
plan extremely disjointed. You go through the box score and
see that there were a grand total of eight designed
runs the code of their running backs and for whatever reason,
apparently they decided they wanted to be a vertical passing
attack played right into the strength of the Chiefs. You
saw the pass rush generated by Chris Jones, Charles amene

(59:26):
who when he was out there with the big strip sack.
And we know that the two most dynamic defensive players
Kansas City has arguably in their secondary with Lagerius New
Trent mcduffey, Lamar wasn't as willing a runner in this
spot as I anticipated with Willie Gay out and for
whatever reason, I mean, this was a Ravens team that
came in wanted to do things a little bit differently.
But all that being said, if Zave Flowers is able

(59:47):
to protect the football setting up a first and goal,
I really believe that the Ravens square a touchdown there.
The way things were trending in that football game, they
would have found a way to get a victory. But
then Lamar Jackson kind of compounds that throwing into triple coverage.
Just a combination of errors for a defense that after
giving up two touchdown drives to start really settled into
their own but the Ravens unable to really muster anything

(01:00:09):
offensively with just ten points.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
I mean, what do you feel about Detroit fans? Now, look,
I'm okay with what Dan Campbell did.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
You know going forward?

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I would have kicked the field goal with six minutes
left to tie it up and put the pressure back
on them to kind of go ahead and force them
to do something.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
But I'm okay mostly for his play calling there. Todd.

Speaker 12 (01:00:29):
I mean, you live by the sword, you die by
the sword. At the end of the first half, he
took a slightly more conservative approach to kick the field goal,
and you can understand, going up twenty four to seven,
I was surprised that he decided to pass up multiple
field goal attempts in the second half. And I know
a lot of folks who go, well, it's analytics. That's
not analytics. That's as much gambling and being able to
read the game situation as anything else. And quite frankly,

(01:00:51):
what I thought was maybe more egregious than even those
calls aren't. He was electing to run the football and
third goal inside the five yard line, costing himself that
precious time out late in that game. But I think
some of the clock management error started sooner than that.
You know, optimal strategy, at least from the folks that
I've spoken to and having run some of these simulations,
would have been to kick the field goal after Sam

(01:01:13):
Laporta went out of bounds with about seventy five to
eighty seconds remaining in the game. You have your full
compliment of timeouts. You don't have to on side kicket.
You can kick the ball deep, try and use your timeouts,
get the ball back and give yourself a chance to
win but you know that's why they play the games.
And credit to Dan Campbell, he didn't shy away from
some of those decisions when he went to the podium
after the game. And we know the margins for air

(01:01:33):
and a sport like this with stakes as big as
what they are on Championship Sunday, you know, sometimes it's
a team that loses as much as a team that wins.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
I don't know if this could have been a worst
scenario for Raiders fans because the Chiefs are going to
play a playoff game in your home stadium before you do,
and now here come the Niners, who were your rivals
across the Bay. But listen, I'm not going to try
to think about that, Todd. It will give me an
a gestion and I'll get sick, I'll be misery. I'm

(01:02:02):
more excited just to see the lead up to the city,
the height like it's no longer Radio Row, right, it's
not called that anymore. But what's kind of your feeling
on in Vegas? Always known for a party, right, always
known for big events. What's the prep been like? And
we talked about this a little bit last week, and
how do you feel like it's setting up for super
Bowl week.

Speaker 12 (01:02:22):
There are so many big events in this town that
you walked through the airport when I had a chance
to do so on Friday, the signage wasn't nearly as
overpowering as what you would anticipate for a super Bowl city.
You had to kind of look around for some of
those super Bowl logos that were there. But there's no
doubt the city was built to embrace this level of event.
I mean, you have a huge inventory of hotel rooms,
some of the highest end restaurants, entertainment options that'll be there,

(01:02:45):
and I'm sure some of these super Bowl parties all
will be off the charts with a lot of the
higher profile resorts. You mentioned the media capabilities down at
Mandalay Bay. I mean, we're lucky enough for CBS Sports
that you know will be on set in front of
the Belagio fountains, that'll be the backdrop for us all
week long, knowing that the game is on our network.
So just a unique opportunity for something that I never
thought possible when I moved out to this town nearly

(01:03:07):
twenty years ago, that Vegas would have all of these
pro sport teams, sports teams and be able to get
all eyes of the NFL on the city at least
for one week. Should be a tremendous event. And really
looking forward to some of the energy that'll start to
flood into our town beginning as early as next weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
All right, Todd a couple things. One, it's going to
break records in gambling.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
One with this Kansas City San Francisco too because of
all the new gambling aspects of what's going on out there.
San Francis Go open up. Is a two and that
point favorite. Did I see they already bet down the
minus one? What's going on out there?

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:03:38):
Number coming down a little bit. This is a game
that I would have made the forty nine ers a
two and a half point favorite even before we saw
the games played today. What I think you're going to see, Arnie,
is overwhelming public sentiment with Patrick Mahomes opening as an underdog,
people not wanting to make that mistake again. And if
you want to simplify the handicap down to the head
coach and starting quarterback tandem, look, Kansas City gets a

(01:03:58):
massive advantage there with Andy Read and Patrick Mahomes, given
what they've accomplished, the pedigree, the experience versus brock Purty
on a stage of this magnitude. Kyle Shanahan has some
of his shortcomings when he's playing for football's ultimate prize,
so you can understand why there's been a little support
for Kansas City. Professional betters have not stated their opinions yet,
and wouldn't be surprised that all if this number ends

(01:04:20):
up crossing zero before professionals start to show a little
bit of an appetite for the forty nine ers. But
always interesting when you watch a number that opens two
and a half immediately kick down to pick them. And
again not a key number though, so it doesn't change
the fundamental handicap. But won't be shocked if at some
point we're talking about the Chiefs as a modest favorite
in this game coleading up two weeks from today.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
Hey, final thought for me, real quick, Todd. Whenever we
got down to the final four, I don't necessarily know
if this was the dream matchup with having Detroit there,
just knowing how they would travel, or did it really
even matter because we knew it was going to be
crazy regardless of who got here.

Speaker 12 (01:04:56):
You know, I think when you look at the four
teams and this isn't meant to disparage one of the four.
I think the least attractive team from a city perspective
would have been the Baltimore Ravens, just because they don't
have that same fervent fan base. It doesn't have the
same storylines that you were going to get with the Lions,
and the fact that they were able to get thirty
thousand plus fans in a fore field for a viewing
party just spoke volumes about what that fan base was

(01:05:19):
hoping to achieve today. Remove their names from the four
list of four teams that have never played for a
Super Bowl. San Francisco folks love to come to Vegas.
We know it's an affluent fan base up and down
the West Coast that I'm sure will be thrilled to
turn it into a week long party out here. And look,
while there may be a little bit of Super Bowl
fatigue for the casual fans, for the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes,

(01:05:39):
Andy Reid, and of course Taylor Swift make for an
outstanding storyline. So we'll get a little build up here
to a game that we saw on Fox a few
years ago down in Miami, and we'll see if the
outcome is a little bit different. Our history is meant
to repeat itself with the Kansas City Chiefs winning yet
another Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes enter Center DoD last.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
You know, I know I already started looking at the
you know, the NBA games, because I know how they
compare the Super Bowl to the NBA games. What's the
NBA doing?

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
They have nine games that day, seven going up against
the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
What are they thinking about?

Speaker 12 (01:06:11):
You know, well, it's not against the super Bowl. I
mean what we've seen for Super Bowl Sunday is you
get a lot more sporting events that are earlier in
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
You know, the six o'clock eastern. Three of them are
six o'clock eastern.

Speaker 12 (01:06:24):
Yeah, the latest game Portland Denver scheduled to start at
five thirty. So, you know, it's always one of those
dynamics where the Super Bowl gets its standalone time when
everything kind of flows into it and you kind of
take advantage of all the sports that lead up to it.
But to your point, Arnie, it'll create some interesting crossbo
props that Ozmikshall take full advantage. But also don't remember

(01:06:46):
so you get credit for it that the NBA putting
this many games on Super Bowl Sunday in the past.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
Love it, Thanks Tott, have a great week, Fredy. We'll
talk to you next Sunday.

Speaker 12 (01:06:53):
Always a pleasure, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
There he is Todd Furman.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
He is hosting the Super Bowl in his town. Is
a day is baby alright in Vegas? And gambling is
in the house with everything that you can gamble in
your living room. Arnie, I don't know why you don't
take advantage of that. Sports wagering is legal now in Vermont.
Embrace it all right, saga? What you got, Bud?

Speaker 11 (01:07:14):
Are you sure there are that many NBA games on
Super Bowl Sunday, nine of them eleven two weeks away?

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Oh, I was looking on the four.

Speaker 11 (01:07:29):
Nobody in their right mind would be starting a game
in any sport at three pm Pacific time.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
I was saying, how come they putting them off against
the game?

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
He was, He was, I take that back, there's only
two games on Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 11 (01:07:46):
It's right, we got the week off here.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
The saga always makes me look like an idiot. The
funny part is nobody picked up on that because nobody's
watching the NBA anyway.

Speaker 11 (01:07:56):
Yeah, And for those who are unaware of the NBA's ratings.
Let's just say we're not great this past week because
they had a Lakers Clippers on Tuesday and that was
one of the lowest rated Lakers national TV games of
the season. And then Thursday, the regular NBA doubleheader went off,
and this is a true apples to apples comparison, regular
season NBA cable opposite women's basketball regular cable, and the

(01:08:22):
Iowa LSU game got a larger TV audience than either
of the NBA games on TNT.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
That's right, that was a better game.

Speaker 11 (01:08:30):
Astounding. I love the fact that as we get to
the Super Bowl in a couple weeks, it will be
Kansas City against San Francisco. I love the fact that
on the telecast for Fox of the NFC Championship game,
they mentioned what would turn out to be an incredible irony.
We've heard a lot in this Lions run about the
nineteen fifty seven Detroit Lions, in part because for years

(01:08:51):
we've heard about them Detroit's franchise. It only had one
playoff win since the nineteen fifty seven title up until
this run. This month, they've still not appeared in the
NFL's championship game since nineteen fifty seven's title. But how
did Detroit get to the championship game In fifty seven?

(01:09:12):
They won a playoff game at San Francisco, and at
halftime that day the Niners led twenty four to seven,
Oh the lead and Detroit advanced.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
I love it today at.

Speaker 11 (01:09:23):
San Francisco, the Niners trailed twenty four to seven at
the half, Detroit blew the lead, San Francisco advances. We
had this on Fox TV after the crazy third quarter.
This is part of twenty seven unanswered points for the
home team. Time down, We're about three minutes to go.

(01:09:45):
That made it thirty four to twenty four. Thirty four
to thirty one San Francisco the final Detroit with two
turnovers on downs in the second half. You mentioned brock
perty his tale of two halves to die. First half
only ninety three yards passing, one interception and on the

(01:10:05):
ground minus one yard rushing. Rock party. Second half almost
one hundred and seventy five yards passing and a touchdown
and almost fifty yards rushing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
His family was kind of bothering me too. You shouldn't
like one time?

Speaker 11 (01:10:20):
What do you mean, oh, bother for Bowl telecast when
every other play they're showing either the Suite with Taylor
Swift or the brock perty family. It's gonna be that
all game. Well, so get used to it. We're gonna
have a Super Bowl rematch. I mentioned earlier in the show.
Four years ago Kansas City defeated San Francisco in a
Super Bowl. We have had this before where within a

(01:10:41):
five year span we get a rematch. Remember Steelers and
Terry Bradshaw beat Dallas and Roger Staubach both times in
a five year span. Troy Aikman and Dallas beat Jim
Kelly and Buffalo back to back years in Super Bowls.
And Eli Manning and the Giants upset Tom Brady and
the Patriots twice in a five year span. So there's

(01:11:03):
the fourth time we have a rematch. The other three,
as you just heard, whoever won the first also won
the second. It's not the same rosters. You know how
that turns over in the NFL. And it has been
four years, not one, but curious. As for the Chiefs details,
they did win at top seeded Baltimore today to take
the AFC Crowns seventeen to ten. It was seventeen to

(01:11:25):
seven at the half. Chiefs scored touchdowns on their first
two possessions, a ten play drive eighty six yards that
lasted five forty five and then the second touchdown early
a sixteen play drive to go seventy five yards that
was over nine minutes that drive. So, as you properly
brought up Chris earlier, their second half drives were essentially

(01:11:46):
na a. They had six drives and what did they do?
Punt punts, punt three more times, take a knee, and
go to the Super Bowl. So does that mean that
if the Detroit Lions had just been able to keep
punting and take a knee, they'd be going to the
Super Bowl? Because it was a cut let's use the word,

(01:12:08):
kind of a boring second half, and the Chiefs won
that way in a close game on the road, and
it was anything butt boring. Unfortunately for Detroit, you mentioned
just the absolute crusher it would be for a Lions fan.
This is going to be remembered for many decades by
a Lions fan. Unfortunately. The only other fan base that
I can think of where you're thinking, oh, my goodness,

(01:12:29):
how in the world are they is the eighty six
World Series with the Bill Buckner Game and the Red
Sox because the Red Sox had gone even longer than
the Lions without a title, and they were in the
World Series and in the final inning to clinch it.
When that air down, the.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Best time in my life, mister Mett, best time ever.

Speaker 11 (01:12:49):
It doesn't happen often. It doesn't. It does happen, Lions fans,
You're not alone.

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
Back to you, thanks, Steve.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
I think I could still give you the starting lineups
for those two teams. I think I could without cheating.
Now you can cheat and you can google it up
and front right back in the day, Arnie, what was
that eighty six eighty eight, eighty six eighty six, right,
that's all we had. Solomon Conrad and I we would
memorize the starting army. Wasn't Rich Gedman to catch her

(01:13:16):
for the Red Sox. There he goes outfield. I mean
we could do this, Arnie, but we do have AFC
and NFC Championship.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Yes, the recap, and I really like our job.

Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
Two quick tweets xes whatever you call them, to get
to here, real quickly ahead news is playing right into
the storyline. He writes, what a breath taking slap in
the face to an all time legend mahomes a one
point dog to mister irrelevant, surrounded by a Niners team

(01:13:49):
of all stars constantly bailing him out of trouble and
absolute disgrace would never happen to goats like Jordan or Brady.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
I disagree, well, I disagree about them bailing him out.
I said to this earlier.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
I thought that brock perty made some big plays, not
just good plays, monster plays, like four or five of
them that actually saved the forty nine ers. So yeah,
it was a team effort and everybody helped on out,
but he played his part, no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
And our man Mark with the Sea rights. There are
people that will dismiss brock Purty as mister irrelevant, comparing
him to the lights of Patrick Mahomes. So Purty is
just hard nosed, scrappy. I liken him to an NBA
point guard with good court presence and awareness, and he
has earned a trip to Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
So you kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
Apt those two different worlds, right, Oh, how dare they
make him an underdog? He's mister irrelevant. And there's Mark,
who I think is a Niners fan that says, listen,
he's not gonna wow you with his arm strength. He's
not gonna be the fastest guy. He just make play
makes place. It's not called him a game manager, but
kind of along those lines.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
It's funny how many people have that thinking, that rationale
because look how quickly it changed from two and a
half down the one and his Todd said, so people
are at pick them that that's a Chris. That is
a big change for a spread that just officially came
out how many hours.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Ago, three hours ago, three hours ago for a Super
Bowl to move two and a half points.

Speaker 3 (01:15:23):
And Todd said, yes, it's no big deal to go
from a minus one to a pick them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
I understand that. But to go from two and a
half down to a pick them, some serious money had
to come in right away. And people are thinking, how
dare you make alms another another underdog? I don't buy
into that all right.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
When we come back to the tyrack dot Com studios
to Sega is here to make sure we didn't miss
anything and getting ready for Super Bowl fifty eight, it's
already in Plank on a Fox Football Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search at sr
to listen live.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
All right, it's that time every single Sunday night. We're
in addition to his duties taking care of updates at
the top and bottom of every hour, Steve Seger drop
some knowledge on us.

Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
What's going on? Steve?

Speaker 11 (01:16:15):
Well, guys. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs quarterback last September turned twenty
eight years old.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
Gosh, he's only twenty so now.

Speaker 11 (01:16:22):
The first guy to be starting four Super Bowls before
the age of thirty. When that comes up in a
couple of weeks, going any worse, Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
And playing that Boloney conference of course.

Speaker 11 (01:16:35):
Oh yeah conference, including your Dolphins exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
You're right.

Speaker 11 (01:16:38):
I saw the Dolphins not show up in the cold.

Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
Teams with a winning record of the Dolphins beat this
year one.

Speaker 11 (01:16:46):
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens seemed to beat everybody that had
a winning record.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
Yes they did.

Speaker 11 (01:16:52):
In fact, it was by far a record. The Baltimore
Ravens weren't just the one seed. They were doing very
rare things and still lost at home and laid an egg.
But against teams that finished this year with a winning record,
the Ravens had nine wins by fourteen points or more.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Amazing.

Speaker 11 (01:17:10):
No other team has ever had more than five such wins.
They had nine. In fact, the stat was You remember
how the eighty five Bears are so revered or the
undefeated nineteen seventy two Dolphins. They each did three things
in their Super Bowl seasons. They led the NFL in rushing,
averaged over twenty five points a game, led in scoring defense.

(01:17:31):
The Baltimore Ravens did all three of those things also
this year and lost at home for the AFC Championship today,
getting very little offense, lost seventeen to ten. Meanwhile, the
Niners were not looking good at halftime at least, and
they come back to beat Detroit thirty four to thirty one.
San Francisco in the last two years when down by

(01:17:53):
fourteen or more had not won a single game. Unvolievable series,
that is correct. Yeah, a big coaching genius the last
two years is going five went down fourteen or more,
and they were down seventeen at the half in this one.
So yet another San Francisco quarterback is going to the
Super Bowl. It's Brock party. This time it was Jimmy

(01:18:14):
Garoppolo against the Chiefs four years ago Colin Kaepernick. About
a decade ago, Steve Young won a Super Bowl Joe Montana.
Of course, Niners are the first team to reach Super
Bowls with five different starting quarterbacks in their history. Meanwhile,
the Lions still have not won a playoff game on
the road since nineteen fifty seven at San Francisco. The

(01:18:34):
Lions are zero and twelve on the road in playoff
games since then, the longest sech road playoff streak in
the history of the NFL postseason. Blowing a seventeen point
lead tonight, it's so rare for a team in a
playoff game to come back from that kind of deficit,
but to win a conference title game. Still, the record,

(01:18:56):
by the way, is down eighteen at any point in
a game. The Bengal when they won at Kansas City
just a couple years back. We're down eighteen right before halftime.
But Jamiir Gibbs with the key fumble, I know deservedly
the going forward on fourth down and not kicking the
field goal for Detroit will and should be discussed. But
my goodness, to start a drive, third quarter, first play

(01:19:18):
of the drive, you fumble and essentially hand the forty
nine ers a score and lose by three. That is
a crusher. Tight End Sam Laporta did play through the
postseason despite the bad knee, had nine catches ninety seven
yards in this game. Aman Ross Saint Brown, an elite receiver,
had seven more catches eighty seven yards, but San Francisco's
Fred Warner with thirteen tackles. He's one of the unanimous

(01:19:42):
all Pro selections that the Niners had. Christian McCaffrey at
other he had twenty carries ninety yards, two touchdowns. And
you're right earlier, Chris, when you mentioned that the losses,
when the losing streak was in October, I believe for
the forty nine ers, Deebo Say.

Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
Was springing up. Yeah, he was sad. I don't know what.
I don't know what you're trying to prove, Arnie. It
makes a.

Speaker 11 (01:20:02):
Big difference, huge difference. And he had eight catches eighty
nine yards in this one. So in the AFC, Kansas
City somehow wins to advance. And then the word somehow
isn't sufficient for San Francisco won the NFC title because
this is back to back weeks that they've just magically

(01:20:22):
won postseason games to get to the Super Bowl. Let's
not forget it was even magical that they got the
one seed and the first round by If Detroit doesn't
get jobbed on the two point conversion at Dallas, Detroit
doesn't finish in a tie with the Niners, Niners won
the tiebreaker conference record. Who's to say this game wouldn't
have been in Detroit?

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Wow, that would have been a scene, Ray step Steve.

Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
All right, when we come back to the tire rack
dot Com studios, your type, your takes, the rest of
the way, your tweets, and post game sound coming up
next with Arnie and Plank right here on Fox Sports
Radio Sports. We're hit in the locker rooms. We're getting

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Power power, Baby, power.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
Let's go from the tire rack dot Com Studios tire

way tire buying should be.

Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
Okay, I'm good, I'm good. You did you enjoy the
games today?

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
I loved them. I had a great time. I was
mad at my wife for not buying me gummy bears.
But otherwise I had a good time. I just kind
of chilled. I had some spaghetti and had a double
my uh pre showed meal today double chocolate cream pie.

Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
So that was wow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
Like when you say gummies, are they the good gummies
that mad Dog talks about?

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
No? No, no, no, just like gummy bears, just eating, you.

Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
Know, because that's that's Lorena Bursch and I and and Sega.
We all take a gummy before the show. So if
you want to join in on me.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
No, I just got no. I just wanted some sugar,
you know. I wanted to go ahead and have something.
I gotta eat something, my wife maybe pineapple. It was
horrible for you. Nah, that wasn't even juicy. It's not
pineapple season.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
So is it not? Is there a season for pineapple?
I think so. I think I learned something.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Who knew Arnie straight out of Vermont knows when it's pineapple?

Speaker 5 (01:22:27):
It wasn't today.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
One other non game question, a show question. Why do
you always shun me when I bring up how envious
I am of you that you can gamble from your
couch And I don't think you're taking advantage of it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
I I don't judge you. You didn't have to wait
till gambling became official in Vermont to be able to
go online and gamble. I just you know what it
is is I always like gambling in Las Vegas, going
up to the book and the money, you know, talking
to the people of the book, watching the game with
the people.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Well, to me, that's gambling. That's that's what I love.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
Yeah, of course you make your bets and you go home,
But I love we'll go into the sports books and
watch them, and that's what I love most about it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
Can't argue, can't argue with that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
So with that in mind, I'm that that to me
sounds like a man who's about tradition. So the tradition
on this show is we start the final hour with
what we learn. Now, Yes, this doesn't have to be
about the two games are the fourteens, because we've got
every Roman numeral you sit on the rundowns only eight
nine Roman numerals tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
I think I had ten ten of them.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
That's most of them had nothing to do with these games.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
Today. A lot of stories throughout the week.

Speaker 4 (01:23:39):
So Arnie heading into the super Bowl hype week because
we get to buy. Obviously, a nerd like me loves
the Senior Bowl. I love everything leading into the draft,
but leading into the super Bowl bye week, I know this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
I leading into the super Bowl bye week, I know this,
And again I know we don't have to do it
on the exact games. We're gona start off something real simple.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
The Lions were a better team than I gave them
credit for all year long.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
I thought they were gonna be a little bit of a.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
Surprise, make the playoffs, make a little bit of a run.
I didn't think they'd go ahead and go this far
and look this good. They surprised me when they got
out to the twenty four to seven league again, San Francisco.
This team's for real. They have a big future out there.
I'm curious to see what life is gonna be on
after Goff and what they're gonna do, and in that situation,

(01:24:28):
if they're gonna go and look for a quarterback. But
this Lions team is for real. And and Dan Campbell,
for all we laughed at him about bite kneecaps, he
really got the job done, so so good for him.

Speaker 6 (01:24:40):
Think I said it pretty pretty vividly. It's like getting
your heart ripped out, and it's hard. You know it's hard.
And know we didn't come in and have so nobody.
We weren't doing backflips like all right, we got this
thing one. They know better, we all know better. We
talked about it. We knew they were gonna make a
run in the second half. We talked about it. We
knew we were gonna have to wear the storm in

(01:25:01):
the second half, and so when they started to make
a push, No, we weren't surprised. We just couldn't counter back.
And we've always been able to counterback. We just couldn't
quite do it in this one.

Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
That's example.

Speaker 3 (01:25:13):
Post game, you never really commented on on what you
thought if he was right or wrong on the field
goal before the half when it was twenty one seven
he kicks it to make it twenty four to seven.
One in this quarter, never a thought to go forward
on fourth down, considering Kansas City is gonna start with
the ball of the second half, and where was the
ball at the three yard line? Is so I mean

(01:25:37):
that look, if you could have it at the one
yard line and you're gonna do the tush push or
something like that, But no way do you go ahead
and not kick the field goal in that situation.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
So I was completely on the side on that one.

Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
Yeah, And if you were, if you were going to
let the clock run down a little bit further so
you don't have to worry about kicking off, So just
that half will end. I mean the rush to call
a time out when you're like, hey, we got one
more play, regardless if it's a field goal, it's it's
it's fourth down. If you're going forward, it's fourth down.
But yeah, I have no problem with it.

Speaker 5 (01:26:12):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
I love the analogy that we used involving blackjack. Right,
Sometimes you look at it and you hit on sixteen,
Sometimes you don't.

Speaker 5 (01:26:24):
It's simple.

Speaker 6 (01:26:25):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
But in these instances, I think this was Detroit's identity.
They lived by it. Unfortunately they died by it today.
And there is no way in saying that had they
decided to go ahead and kick field goals in those situations,
this game ends any differently because you're like, oh, that
would be six more points, it's thirty seven, thirty four. Well,
it doesn't always work out.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Well, the one on the fourth down was dropped, so
and he was open, Yeah, and he had it. He
I mean he had it in his hands, he dropped it.
So does that mean it was the wrong call? No,
it just it's just didn't it didn't work. And as
for the last one, that's the only controversial one. With

(01:27:05):
six minutes left of the game, Yeah, you're down three,
I think you kicked the field goal and tie the game.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
Puts pressure back on San franc Le's go a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
They can't be so, you know, free wheeling and do
whatever plays they want. Then all of a sudden, it's
it's a you're really in a battle, though a three
point game is still in a battle. It was a
forty eight yard field goal, Chris, So, I don't know
what the numbers are on that, sixty eight seventy percent.
I don't have a clue, but I'm okay with it.

(01:27:36):
But what was it?

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Fourth? And was it? Fourth and three on that?

Speaker 5 (01:27:40):
And that one?

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
Also a fourth and five on that one?

Speaker 4 (01:27:42):
This is the second one right when they have kicked.

Speaker 5 (01:27:45):
The sixth goal.

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
Yeah, that was three, all of them. I think we're
fourth and three essentially.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
All right, So you know again then I have no
problem for it going on fourth and three. Yeah, I
still kick the field goal to tie it up. But
I don't have a problem for him going for it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:00):
I guess I don't understand. I'll make a prediction now.
I am putting every penny I have on Christian McCaffrey
to win the MVP because I think that. Honestly, I
think Kyle Shanahan's smart enough to look at what Buffalo
was able to do running the football against Kansas City
and say we're gonna do that, and we're not gonna

(01:28:20):
deviate from it. Where if you try to force us
to throw the ball, we're gonna throw it over.

Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
The top of you.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
But I just I can't fathom that San Francisco is
not gonna run the ball a lot. I bring that
up because I'm still blown away with the play calls
by Detroit. Right, Why in the world would you not
at least try to run the football a couple of
times there? Just every single time on fourth down, Arnie,
they threw the ball. Now you had to drop right, right,

(01:28:47):
But I.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Just I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense
to me.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
Okay, heading in to Super Bowl bye week, I don't
know this, Arnie. What's gonna he the big story? I
don't even mean with the Super Bowl, right, I just
mean every year we have a storyline that dominates the
headlines leading into the Super Bowl. There was gosh, we're

(01:29:12):
going back aways now, we've done this show too long together, probably,
But there was a Super Bowl when the big debate
was are you gonna have a team in LA again?

Speaker 5 (01:29:21):
What's happening here?

Speaker 4 (01:29:22):
Then there was the Super Bowl Week what are you
gonna do with the Chargers and the Raiders?

Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
Are they both gonna be in LA?

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
Then there was a Super Bowl Week where we thought,
oh my gosh, we're gonna have a strike. What's going
on with the NFLPA and the NFL. Then there were
TV deals, Then there were you know, the future of
the game, and there's been concussions. I mean, the sports
seems to be in a really good place right now.
I don't know what can be something people want to

(01:29:50):
grinch and moan about Arnie when we get into Super
Bowl Week, where we usually spend more time arguing and
fighting about something or trying to project what's the big
story in the future.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
The only the only bad thing I see in the
future is the international team, if that comes to fruition.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
Right now, we have the international games. Oh, I see
what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (01:30:09):
Okay, okay, but.

Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
If we actually put a team in you know, Europe
or something like that, or Mexico, I can see people
maybe making us think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
Now now, I will say, I bet there's an in
an incessant amount of conversations about the stupid fumbled through
the back of the end zone rule.

Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Right of course, I bet there is. Well, I wonder
how they haven't changed it up through all these years.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
Now, I wonder how much there is about the UFL.
I wonder if that's much of a conversation right where Hey,
the USFL and the XFL of merge, are we actually
going to have a true prep prep league? Excuse me
for the NFL, because everyone says, oh, that's college The
NFL couldn't care less about college football. I mean they have,

(01:30:56):
they have done them zero favors. Ever, so I wonder
if that because a little bit of a talking point
during this week coming up.

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
Who plays in those games now, the second third year
guys that didn't make the squads or what.

Speaker 4 (01:31:09):
Yeah, pretty much it's it's a laundry list of a
bunch of guys that you might have loved in college.

Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
They didn't make it in the making the pros.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
And also you're like, hey, look there's who is your
linebacker Scooby right or something like.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
That for Arizona.

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
Yeah, he'll be playing on a team, right, My guy
Jeff Baddett, who was a wide receiver at oh you
will be playing on a team. Case cookus will be
playing on a team, right. I mean, it's just it's
the reality of what that league's gonna look like. All right,
you got any more what you learned?

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
No, I guess we have known from from the very beginning.
But it was gonna be San Francisco Kansas City, I
bet you at the beginning of the year, those odds
of those two teams showing up.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Not very high. Chris Vegas probably made.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
A boatload of money on all future events for the
Super Bowl because this one certainly didn't have some good
odds through it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:57):
I'm sure you don't think so, oh no, oh no,
So you're trying to say.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
That, I'm like, they'll be one of the favorites at
the beginning of Oh yeah, well probably at that because
you have to guess both teams.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
I'm thinking like ten to one or twelve to one.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
I was gonna say it's like I mean, Kansas City
was the number one pick to make the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
San Francisco was the fourth in the preseason. Oh, by
the way, Cincinnati was fifth. Shows you what an injuryuce
star player can do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
After today's AFC Championship game, I know this. I hope
you all will understand that. When I talk to you
about the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, I come from a
place of experience. They have broken my hearts, They've sucked
my will to live. They have beat me in a
submission as a Raiders fan. Even though we beat them

(01:32:48):
this year, They're still going to Super Bowl in our stadium.
So I use this term a lot inevitable Patrick Mahomes
as long as Andy Reid is there, and I think
Arnie as long as Travis Kelcey is there too, It's
just inevitable. They are damn good together. And now they've
got a defense, a unique way of building their defense.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
They did it through the draft. They went out and
they instead of going out and getting a boatload of
just skilled players, and they've missed, right, They've missed on
some skilled players in the draft. They built up this
defense and I've told you all year long, and you
refuse to listen to me. Kansas City's defense is a problem,
and not in a bad problem, a good problem. And

(01:33:31):
I'm telling you what, it's gonna be good for a
while because they're young, and I wouldn't be surprised if
they win the Super Bowl. But they're not going anywhere.
Even if they don't, they're gonna be right here next year.
They're gonna be playing in the AFC Championship Game. Hell,
it might be an Arrowhead next year. They're just not
going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
I will quit my job. I want you to know this.
I mean this.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
I will quit my job if somehow the Chiefs move
up in the draft and get Marvin Harrison Drew.

Speaker 5 (01:34:00):
I don't think they're gonna move up to three.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
If they somehow get him, I'm gonna go ahead and
quit my job over that. I just I just can't.
I can't deal with something like that. So don't forget
about that. By the way, I demand next year you
go out to Las Vegas and go to a Raider
game in that new stadium so you can check it
on out.

Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
So well, my hopes, uh is that OU makes a
run of the playoffs, so we can end up there.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):
I think it's I think it's.

Speaker 4 (01:34:25):
The site for the championship game next year, so that's
kind of my hopes. But I've got to be I'm
pretty happy right now with the moves that have been
made so far. I've got a coach I like, DeVante
Adams is still around, and Max Crosby doesn't seem to
be going anywhere. Maybe I will next year, but don't
demand it, Arnie, because I don't need to have my

(01:34:47):
arm twisted to go to Vecas. I gotta come up
with an excuse to tell my wife Scott send.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Me to Vegas.

Speaker 4 (01:34:52):
If it's for work, I can go. Can I add
one more thing?

Speaker 12 (01:34:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
Absolutely, yeah, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
I know this.

Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
We are going to get so tired of debates about
brock Purty and Lamar Jackson, and it's just enjoy I
don't understand why we have to find like this place
or this relevance for brock Purty. I don't know when
people start to dog on him and act like they're
forced to like him and say nice things about him.
Because I can tell you what, I've never had one

(01:35:19):
meeting with anyone that tells me I need to like
this person or talk nice about him. But Rock Purty
is a great story. I mean, he really is. He
was Iowa freaking state man.

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
And it's not even a real college well, I mean
it is a real collage.

Speaker 5 (01:35:34):
I've been there, so I can confirm it. You sure
they're in your conference?

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Now, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:35:40):
But here is a guy that I mean, he's what
everyone would want to root for. He's not a rock star.
He is a seventh round pick, the last pick in
the draft. He beat out a guy that was taken
what third? Where was Lance going third in the draft?
And that San Francisco and other team, any other team

(01:36:02):
that did what San Francisco did to move up to
get to Trey Lance would be doomed, doomed, darnie. It
would take them years to overcome that kind of mistake.
It's the kind of mistake that is an anchor on
a franchise. But guess what they got lucky with brock Percy.
It's a quarterback whisperer.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
And also with the mistake with Jimmy Garoppolo too, they
had to get rid of him too.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Well, I mean, but Garoppolo was a mistake. He took
him to a Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
No, but they did have to get rid of him,
and they gave him a big time contract. So usually
when you go ahead and do something like that, that
really had.

Speaker 5 (01:36:36):
To eat it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:37):
So I guess I don't understand, like the pushback against
Rock Perdy.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
It's an awesome story.

Speaker 4 (01:36:44):
If you don't like the Niners, like you're a Rams fan,
or you're a Cardinals fan, or I don't know, Cowboys fan,
I get it right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
It's like I'm a Raiders fan.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
I'm not one of those guys he gets all sentimental
about Tom Brady. I'm like, I hate Tom Brady, I
hate Peyton Manny. They beat me, you know, I hate
Patrick Mahomes. But it's an awesome story. Brock Purty Arnie
is an amazing story. Do you know what brock Perty
did in the most anticipated year for Iowa state football ever?

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
He laid an egg. They sopped.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
You know, they weren't a very good football team. Whenever
they were a preseason top five, top six, top seven.
They did not live up to the hype and it
killed his draft stock. He ends up going with the
last pick in the draft, and guess what, he ends
up leading the Niners to the freaking super Bowl. I
will not understand the hate that this man gets from

(01:37:33):
a very small faction of the media when all he
does is win and make plays.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
It's just it'll never make sense. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
By the way, this year with the prop bets, I
wonder if they're going to tie him to the election.
I don't think I've ever seen that before. Could you
imagine if they started doing something like that, You know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
Well, isn't the isn't the Super Bowl? Are we like
a year ahead?

Speaker 4 (01:37:58):
I mean, isn't that something like where you're you're making
a prop bet and then the election isn't until November.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
Yeah, it's just kind of making a like a win
total bet for the NFL or.

Speaker 5 (01:38:08):
May June July.

Speaker 4 (01:38:09):
It's like eight months. Manah, yeah, I don't have that
kind of pay.

Speaker 3 (01:38:13):
It's some people going to parlay the Super Bowl winner
to the World Series, to the NHL stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
Uh, here's one real quick before the break. This is
from Griddles mcblackout, who writes after Conference Championship week.

Speaker 5 (01:38:29):
I know this.

Speaker 4 (01:38:30):
Dan Campbell has to find some balance. Brandon Staley never
found the balance and he's unemployed.

Speaker 2 (01:38:36):
Oh, Dad Campbell's he has a job for life. Now
stop it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
There's another one I disagree. Coach Dan should have kicked
the field goal instead of going forward on fourth down
to extend the lead. It's sports psychology, in my opinion.
By going forward when they have a decent lead and
messing up the fourth down, it gave immediate momentum to
the forty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
That's when they were up by fourteen. I had a
chance to go by seventeen again after they uh after
San Francisco got the field goal to start the second half.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
Right, I didn't realize how split this would be.

Speaker 4 (01:39:09):
Well, because we have the evidence that it didn't work right,
So right away you're like, well, why would you do that?

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Hindsight there?

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
All right, but let's get a break when we come
back to all of your tweets. Wow, one segment already
done in our final hour. Arnie's picks? Are you giving
your Super Bowl pick to?

Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
Yeah, I'm gonna give my That's the only pick I have.
I'm giving nobody else. What am I gonna give? Who's
gonna win the NBA games?

Speaker 2 (01:39:29):
Come on?

Speaker 5 (01:39:30):
Now, you're like, oh for six and you're.

Speaker 3 (01:39:32):
No, that's not true. Don't read that. I was too
and old this weekend. I'm look at what I told you.
I said, take Oh, yes, we're terrible, I said, I said,
go ahead, and I said take Kansas City plus the
points they covered. I said, take the Lions plus the
points you know they covered.

Speaker 4 (01:39:48):
So come on, all right, Well, I just saying the
scores that you put up a role.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
Oh geez, give me a break that those are tough
to do?

Speaker 4 (01:39:55):
Why do you do them? All right, we'll get to
your tweets next. It's Aarny in Plank on a Fox

You want some tweets, Arnie.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Oh yeah, we got a lot. We haven't a bad
job by you and I get into the tweets. All right,
let's go back through.

Speaker 4 (01:40:48):
Let's start from earlier in the show and work our
way all right, begin here with Pete. Pete writes, the
ratings will be huge, as always, but I wonder if
these are the two teams the NFL wanted. The only
good thing about the Chiefs making the Super Bowl is

(01:41:08):
the Taylor Swifts prop bets. I do wonder how many
football fans are turned off by Kansas City being in it.

Speaker 5 (01:41:15):
Do we have Chiefs fatigue?

Speaker 3 (01:41:18):
I don't think so. I think this is probably great
for the NFL. The ratings are always great. We know
that maybe this gives it a little bit of an
extra boost. But it's a perfect matchup. And you never
got to the controversy. I didn't know about this, So
what's that? Well, somebody tweeted it to us earlier in
the show.

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
You're talking about what g Mannick cinnis Our g bang
cinnis that Taylor Swift and Patrick Mahomes's wife were in
different suites.

Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
That's exactly what I'm talking about is is there a
problem with the friendship?

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:41:53):
I mean, what's the Ravens sweet situation? I have no
idea I did, did pretty mahomes even have.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
I don't know, but you would think that she'd be wherever.

Speaker 4 (01:42:03):
You know, maybe maybe Taylor Swift was, you know, Taylor's
getting ready for a tour Arnie. I was trying to
figure out which nerd would be the first one to
bring up that she was in Japan and she's.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
Gonna make it. Darren Ravel already did the Oh, it
was Revel, of course it was. And see that I
retweeted it.

Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
You know what, for some reason, Twitter's algorithm is all
messed up. I wanted to go back to the way
that it was, but I don't see her tweets all
the time. So it was Revel that pointed out that
she was in Japan, and yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:42:36):
Yeah, I'm I don't think I could.

Speaker 5 (01:42:38):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
For some reason, I can't find it, but he he
did the math and what time the concert ends and
she gets on her plane. I think she arrives like
twenty five minutes before kickoff or something.

Speaker 4 (01:42:50):
Spirit Airlines is that what she's going on, I think
that was it. Okay, here's a couple others for all
those blasting game Dan Campbell going forward on four down,
I say this, if the Lions don't vomit away a
seventeen point halftime lead, it really becomes irrelevant. I think
the point to that, though, right Arnie, is some say

(01:43:11):
the unwillingness to take those points is the reason why
you vomit away a seventeen point half time lead, right.
I don't buy it. Though I don't buy it, I
go for it. And my biggest pet peeve is whenever
you ask someone, hey, would you do it again? And
when it failed, they're like, yeah, I do it again.
You're like, well it failed, don't you when you say

(01:43:33):
that you wouldn't do it again because it failed? But
I mean Dan Campbell straight up said, hey, that's who
we are, and I wouldn't change a thing about right.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
Right, Well, the forty eight yard field goal, like I said,
though one went six minutes left, I'm okay with it,
even though I kicked the field goal. If he misses that,
then we're ripping him for not going for it on
fourth DOWNE. Then we're gonna say you did it all year,
all of a sudden, you get to the championship game
and you're gonna go ahead and and change your thinking.
So you know that's exactly what would happen. I promise

(01:44:00):
you that. So it's damn if you do. Damn if
you lose, don't. It doesn't make it if it's what
he decides to do.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
Let me get one more quick one here from Brendon
before the Segur jumps in for the Super Bowl. I
hope to see either a defensive struggle or a shootout.
Casey has been a fixture in the Super Bowl conversation
for longer than I'd like to admit.

Speaker 5 (01:44:19):
As for San fran.

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
Let's just say that this is Bay Area business that
I want none of. I think Brendan's a Raiders fan
like I am, so he's an absolute hell pete with
a double shot. Here this segment writes, Shanahan did the
reverse of what happened to him in Atlanta. However, I
believe Detroit's loss. I believe Detroit lost this game more
than San Francisco won it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
That's hard, That's hard.

Speaker 5 (01:44:44):
Are you buying that?

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
I would say more that Baltimore lost the game than
Kansas City wanted. I would I would agree on that game,
but I can't take away from what San Francisco did
coming back the way they did, especially if we're just
going to question just one or two plays the Lions,
and it wasn't really all that bad, you know what
I mean, You just decided to go forward on fourth

(01:45:06):
down that it didn't work out. So no, I'm not
gonna say it in that game at all.

Speaker 4 (01:45:10):
All Right, hanging there, I got more tweets for you,
but first, for one final time tonight, Steve the Segeri's
in the house to get uscought up on everything that
happened today.

Speaker 5 (01:45:19):
What's going on Steve?

Speaker 11 (01:45:20):
A lot to get to you mentioned the possibility of
a future college football playoff final being in Vegas. I
think it's not going to be in the next couple
of years because of the dates and conventions and things
like That doesn't mean it won't ever happen, but I've
seen listed Atlanta hosting the college football Final next year,
in Miami the year after that. And as for Michigan,

(01:45:41):
which just won the college football National Championship, you know,
folks in state were saying, hey, same year, same run.
The Detroit Lions are finally getting to a super Bowl.
The exact stat from AP is that still the NFL
champion and the number one team in the final AP
College Bowl have not come from the same state since

(01:46:01):
nineteen fifty four, back in the Cleveland Browns heyday when
they won another NFL title, and Ohio State that year
finished ranked number one. And I did happen to still
have the paper. As far as odds, literally twelve months
ago of who's gonna win this season's Super Bowl, Kansas
City was six to one, San Francisco six to one,

(01:46:23):
and the Buffalo Bills also opened six to one, although
by last summer Buffalo was ten to one to win
this year Super Bowl. As far as simply making the playoffs,
you would have lost a lot of money on the
Bengals this season, and you would have made a lot
of money saying the Texans would make the playoffs this season.
But obviously Niners and Chiefs huge, huge favorites to at

(01:46:45):
least make the playoffs, and as I say, six to
one twelve months ago to win the Super Bowl, San
Francisco beat the Detroit Lions in a comeback thirty four
to thirty one to take the NFC championship game Tonight,
Niners scored twenty seven unanswered point points in the second half,
Detroit with a late TD for the final score. Each
team with four touchdowns. San Francisco had two field goals,

(01:47:07):
Detroit just one. Detroit loses by three points. Lions on
two turnovers on downs in the second half. Yes it
was fourth and two incompletion instead of a forty six
yard field goal attempt third quarter, and then in the
fourth down by three, they went forward fourth and three
with an incompletion instead of the forty eight yard field
goal attempt. San Francisco scored seventeen straight points in an

(01:47:29):
eight minute span of the third quarter to tie the game.
That's how huge and quick a turnaround it was. Detroit
is still never been in a Super Bowl. The only
team in the Super Bowl era who's had a team
every year of the Super Bowl era and hasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:47:44):
Been in one.

Speaker 11 (01:47:45):
Cleveland hasn't been in one, but remember Cleveland didn't have
a team for a few years there. But just in
the third quarter for the Lions that one time, instead
of kicking the field goal, drop pass on fourth down
then not getting the interception on the deep ball where
the pass hits the defenders face and it winds up
getting caught by Ayuk for San Francisco. Then you start
your next possession with the Jamiir Gibbs fumble in the

(01:48:07):
third quarter. That was key dropping a pass on third down.
So then Detroit has to punt and they can't down
the punt at the one. It was just one thing
after another. I did see a next gen stat that here.
Nick Bosa, Let's just say it out loud, a phenomenal
defensive lineman. When he was head to head against Pinney
Seul Lions, tackle Bosa did not generate a single quarterback

(01:48:31):
pressure tonight and they had eighteen one on one matchups,
and yet who finished with the most pressures Nick Bosa,
Because he did it against other guys, he still had
seven pressures against other linemen. Detroit in the regular season
on fourth down conversions went for it a lot and
made it over fifty percent of the time. And then

(01:48:52):
in a wildcard game against the Rams, touchdown pass for
Detroit on fourth down at the two. They won that
game by a point. In the divisional touchdown on fourth
and goal at the one late third quarter, that was
a one possession game, but the Lions tonight did not
go forward on fourth down at the end of the
first half. They kicked a twenty one yard field goal instead,

(01:49:12):
so that was a seventeen play drive. They only got
three points out of it. They'd had a first and
goal at the seven late first half, fourth and goal
at the three and went for the kick then instead.
AFC Championship game to Kansas City seventeen to ten at Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson one touchdown, pass, one interception won, fumble, sacked

(01:49:33):
four times. Travis Kelcey was targeted eleven times with passes.
He had eleven receptions one hundred and sixteen yards and
a touchdown. So Baltimore finished with three turnovers eight penalties
for ninety five yards. Kansas City today got five of
its first downs on penalties. It was seventeen to seven
at the half because the Chiefs scored touchdowns on their

(01:49:53):
very first two possessions of the game. Seventeen to ten
to the final. Kudos to Ravenstartan and Mark Andrews making
it off injury reserve, remember the severe ankle earned injury
in November. Didn't think we'd see him again. He had
two catches. The other tight end likely with two catches.
Kansas City's in the Super Bowl for the fourth time
in the last five years. In college hoops, wins for

(01:50:14):
number one Connecticut at number two per Due, UAB beat Memphis,
which is now four and three in the American Conference.
Wins for Florida, Atlantic and New Mexico in the top
twenty five college hoops victories for Indiana, Chicago and Orlando
beat Phoenix despite forty four points from Devin Booker of
the Suns, Atlanta on a last second dunk edge Toronto,
which has lost five straight, and the Detroit Pistons were

(01:50:37):
five and forty and still beat Oklahoma City one twenty
to one oh four the next the next Julius Randall
is out Monday at least with his dislocated shoulder.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
Will be how longer than that?

Speaker 11 (01:50:48):
Yeah, they're not even calling it that yet. The team,
We're still waiting for them to talk tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
All my teams are falling apart with injuries.

Speaker 11 (01:50:55):
It's a recurring theme year to year. Kyrie Irving of
the Mavericks is going to miss another game tomorrow with
a spray and thumb, but Ben Simmons and the Nets
listed as probable for tomorrow. Evan Mobley of the Caves
could return tomorrow night. NHL All Star Weekend starts this
Thursday in Toronto. Yannick Sinner, who had beaten Novak Djokovic
in the semis of the Australian Open, won the Australian

(01:51:16):
Final today despite losing the first two sets.

Speaker 5 (01:51:18):
Back to you, Steve, have a great week man. Let's
see you next Sunday night.

Speaker 4 (01:51:22):
By the way, I am one of those rare guys
that's not all up in arms about Taylor Swift being
mentioned or talked about it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
Oh, I have no problem with it. I like it.

Speaker 5 (01:51:31):
It draws my daughters in a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:51:33):
And in fact, you know, I was trying to I
was trying to talk my nine year old, who's a
big swiftye into sitting with me for a little bit,
and I'm like, you know, they've been showing Taylor Swift
a lot. She's like really, I'm like yeah. And she's
sat there for two minutes and she's like, where's Taylor Swift.
I'm like, well, baby, there's a game going on, so
they'll get there. She's like, well, I haven't seen her yet,

(01:51:54):
and she was gone. So my kids are kind of
over it. I've lost that, but our buddy Nick did
send us a tweet. Yeah that Apparently there's not drama there, Arnie.
Apparently there is a great picture that's making the rounds
of Taylor Swift and Britney Mahomes in a deep hug after.

Speaker 5 (01:52:13):
The win of the range. So you can you don't
have to.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
Be worried about I was. I can tell you nobody could.

Speaker 3 (01:52:19):
Nobody was complaining when Eminem was giving the double barrel salute.

Speaker 2 (01:52:23):
Everybody, it's cause it's M and M man, He's all.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
And then here is Revel's tweet that you were talking about.
Taylor Swift performs in Japan the night before the Super Bowl.
It will end around ten pm Tokyo time, which is
five am Vegas time. The flight from Tokyo to Vegas
takes twelve hours, I think, which means that Taylor Swift
can arrive at five pm local on the day before

(01:52:45):
the Super Bowl, twenty five hours and thirty five minutes
before kickoff. That's, of course, according to Darren Revel. I
don't know if those numbers are right or not. He
could have just made those.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
Up private playing.

Speaker 4 (01:52:57):
I'm sure no speired air baby that's what she flies.
All right, couple of tweets before we get a break
and get out of here. Josh writes, I'm not saying
Brock Prettiest, Peyton Manning, but if any quarterback could do it,
why haven't we seen qbs unloaded teams do this more often?

Speaker 2 (01:53:16):
Just saying, but take them to take them to the
Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
Yeah, just being like average quarterbacks?

Speaker 4 (01:53:24):
Right, I mean, don't you think that your Dolphins are
pretty loaded?

Speaker 2 (01:53:28):
Yes? I do, but they had injuries.

Speaker 5 (01:53:30):
Oh so did the Niners.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
You have it not as bad as Miami.

Speaker 3 (01:53:35):
Get I think I told you you don't have to
be an elite quarterback.

Speaker 4 (01:53:40):
I think the point is here that he is elite
and he's doing things that it's not easy to do.
So you're telling me that you'd be just fine without,
Like I don't know, Matt Moore is your quarterback?

Speaker 5 (01:53:54):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
No, okay, then stop saying that you don't need an
elite quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:53:59):
You just need one in like the top ten, that's elite.
No elite's top three, top.

Speaker 4 (01:54:04):
Four, Arnie, stop if you're talking about elite, tell me
your top.

Speaker 5 (01:54:10):
Ten in the NFL right now?

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
Is Broc Perdy?

Speaker 5 (01:54:13):
Is he in your top ten.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
I don't know. I haven't done my top ten. I
would assume yes, the answer would be yes to that.
He's probably elite. Is he going to the Super Bowl?
Yes he is.

Speaker 5 (01:54:22):
He's elite ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:54:24):
News right, It's one of the bigger issues of Super
Bowl Week will be discussion about Peacock losing a billion
dollars last year and the Miami Kansas City game being
so profitable. Conditions seemed to be very amendable for more
playoff football on pay per view.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
You I remember saying this a long time to you
what we're gonna be telling our great kids.

Speaker 2 (01:54:46):
We're remembering when the Super Bowl was on free TV.

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
Now you're gonna have to pay one hundred dollars for it,
and everybody's at all stop and stop it. That's coming
sooner than later. I promise you that it's coming.

Speaker 4 (01:54:57):
And then my man, Gunny gunny, right, at least two
Sooners will win a ring if the forty nine Ers win,
and four if the Chiefs win it. Oh six Oklahoma
Sooners in the Super Bowl. Oh you DNA. If you
are trying to decide where you're going to college and you
need to come to oh, you just say it all right,

(01:55:17):
will you if we need a title, Arnie we gottace It's.

Speaker 5 (01:55:22):
Two thousand, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
When we come back, Arnie's picks will take us song
right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:55:27):
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
Live not Gonna Lie.

Speaker 4 (01:55:40):
The addition of Eddie Money to the show kind of
brings me energy, kind of brings me lie, which I
don't I don't need because I have to go to
bed right, but I still love it so. Great job
by Lorraina tonight. Ryan Berschinger has always crushing it. The
saga on updates and the millions and millions of editors

(01:56:01):
behind the scenes bringing us great post game audio like
let's see like this from Dan Campbell, who is obviously.

Speaker 5 (01:56:12):
I mean, he's a little bit frustrated right now.

Speaker 6 (01:56:14):
I just felt really good about us converting and getting
our momentum and not letting them play long ball. You know,
they were bleeding the clock out, that's what they do,
and I wanted to get the upper hand back. It's
easy hindsight, and I get it. You know, I get that,
but I don't regret those decisions. And that's hard. You know,

(01:56:37):
it's hard because you know they didn't we didn't come through.
It wasn't able to work out. But I just I don't.
I don't and I understand the scrutiny, all get that's
part of the gig, man, you know, we just just
didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (01:56:52):
And real quick Jared Goff on juggling emotions.

Speaker 13 (01:56:55):
What are my emotions? I don't know. It sucks and
pretty devastated, you know, they're as a state of shock
a little bit. And yeah, I just I just again,
I'm proud to be a part of this team. And
it's hard to juggle those two emotions of being proud
of what we've done this year and dealing with the
heartache of the loss.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Successful season for the Lions.

Speaker 4 (01:57:15):
Yeah, of course they made it to a place they
haven't made it since nineteen ninety one, won a division.
I was sixteen, I'm forty eight. Embrace it, Lions fans,
all right, take it away, steaking genius.

Speaker 5 (01:57:30):
Where are we going with your picks?

Speaker 2 (01:57:31):
All right, so let's get to the picks.

Speaker 3 (01:57:33):
Well, first of all, next Sunday, I'll have all my
picks on the props, and there'll be some. I mean,
there's pages and pages and pages of props out there,
so I can't wait to get started on that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
So I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
Also, a shout out to my Arizona Wildcats for keeping
a lot of our players in football and not a
mass exodus.

Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
So I was very worried about that.

Speaker 4 (01:58:00):
Chris, you know that's not You have one more portal
window in April, one more portal Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:58:10):
If they don't like the new coach, the.

Speaker 2 (01:58:13):
Love them, I love him. I would have called it.
You don't, I would have called it Brennan.

Speaker 5 (01:58:19):
Right, Yes, you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
I'm gonna I'm gonna call him up and ask him
if I could help recruit for the team.

Speaker 5 (01:58:30):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:58:30):
There's a lot of work that goes into that, right,
It's no.

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
I mean, I don't want to do anything other than
just say go to Arizona on the air.

Speaker 4 (01:58:38):
Okay, well there's a little more to that, but well.

Speaker 3 (01:58:43):
I'll discuss it with him. I'm just gonna give you
my super Bowl pick. I'll be the first to go
and get our Super Bowl pick here at Fox Sports Radio.
I think it's going to be a close game. I
think it's gonna be a high scory game. Matter of
fact that the Kansas City is going to be leading
in the first half and probably have a halftime lead.
But San Francisco, just like they did today, comes from behind,
ties it up at thirty one, and then wins it

(01:59:04):
on a field goal at the end of the game
with no time remaining. I got San Francisco thirty four,
Kansas City thirty one. So there you have my picks,
two of them, as you please, no longer strictly for
entertainment purposes, only thirty four to thirty one.

Speaker 4 (01:59:23):
You like that, I'm sure you'll change your mind a
few times. Roger the Engineer rights lucky. The Ravens were
lucky to score a touchdown. The Kansas City defense is
legit have been telling you this all year long. The
game was never really in doubt. The Kansas City defense
made the historically great Ravens team choke.

Speaker 3 (01:59:44):
I don't think about Choky, but they did make him
look very pedestrian.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (01:59:49):
Right to the case defense, Josh Wrights, the Chiefs are
a bad offside flag on a Brady interception and an
overtime loss from six straight Super Bowls. Wow, And they
were in complete control of that game against the Bengals

(02:00:09):
whenever they fell apart in the second half, down the stretch.
Pete the Ravens. But more importantly, Lamar Jackson are overrated.
They are a regular season team and nothing more. Lamar
is a bust in the playoffs.

Speaker 11 (02:00:26):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
Now we're gonna start with the Lamar haters out there?
Are we or what I think we might be?

Speaker 5 (02:00:32):
And eat bleep and die?

Speaker 2 (02:00:34):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:00:34):
And Dan Campbell's really Brandon Staley in sheep's clothing, Dan Campbell,
Brandon Staley, this.

Speaker 2 (02:00:44):
Game, stop it, stop it. That's how people feel, right, unbelievable.
All right, Well, we got forty nine ers, we've got Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (02:00:53):
We've got a rematch of the Super Bowl from Super
Bowl fifty four, super Bowl fifty eight all week long,
and guess what we'll have you covered right here on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (02:01:03):
Arn you have a great week, man, you too, my friend.
I can't wait.

Speaker 4 (02:01:06):
Fun stuff tonight. Big Ben Mallory is coming up next,
for Arnie, for Lorena, for Ryan Chris Blank. Stick around
and keep it locked on Fox Sports Radio.
