Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday on Sioux Falls’ exclusive home for the big game, KWSN!
Our daily drive-time local show “Sports Talk with Craig & John” hit the local, national, and nostalgic notes all week long, including interviews with:
Pat Mahomes, Patrick’s father who pitched for both the Sioux Falls Canaries and Minnesota Twins and explains how and why Patrick became a natural NFL superstar and leader at such a young age.
Dick Vermeil, who led the Rams to the title 20 years ago and, surprise, says he teared up when watching the Chiefs team he coached from 2001-05 reach the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
Chuck Foreman, the Vikings’ 5-time Pro Bowl running back who did not hold back when describing why the team lost the three Super Bowls he played in a five-year stretch from 1973-77. (Hint: They didn’t involve him enough).
Adam Timmerman, a Northwest Iowa native and resident who blocked for Brett Favre and Kurt Warner in Super Bowl wins for the Packers (’96) and Rams (’99) after being an All-America at South Dakota State, but also was a part of two Super Bowl losing teams.
Jeff Kinney, a two time national champion and Huskers’ all-time leading career rusher and 1971 Game of the Century hero who played for the Chiefs in the 1970’s shortly after their only Super Bowl title, describing his years in Kansas City before being traded to Buffalo, where he blocked for O.J. Simpson and had his best game as a pro in his first game for the Bills as he trampled… the Chiefs!
Also, “Craig & John” hit on:
– Betting: A Vegas “insider” and national sports gambling radio show host tells you who he is putting his money on to win, which prop bet you should bet, and why Vegas is a more fun place to be during the Super Bowl than the Super Bowl itself.
– Predictions: Why the 49ers will win (Craig) and Chiefs will win (John)
– Are Vikings fans (like Craig) triggered or haunted by the Chiefs being back in the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years, considering the only KC title came after dominating the Vikings in the first of Minnesota’s four Super Bowl losses? Plus, the THREE WORST HOT TAKES OF SUPER BOWL WEEK.
– Is Patrick Mahomes the best quarterback on the planet?
And there is more, like a Minnesota sportscaster covering his 27th consecutive Super Bowl, a Kansas City morning host’s supremely confident view of why the Chiefs will win and not continue a playoff tradition of screwing things up, South Dakota sportscasting staple Mike Henriksen’s hilarious views on the Super Bowl as a lifelong Lions fan and his Sunday food spread, and viewpoints on Kobe Bryant’s tragic death that started Super Bowl week on a somber note.
