Episode 2243: The NFL – The Greatest Show On Earth, Celebrity Bengals, AFCON’s Over For Cape Verde

Wed 26th Jan 2022
Eoin, Ken, Brian Murphy

If a weekend’s NFL action manages to catch the attention of our football correspondent, as last weekend’s did, then you know the playoffs are really setting the world alight.

We chat to Brian “US Murph” Murphy about the greatest NFL playoff weekend of all time, justice in overtime, if Tom Brady is finally done and he tells us about a celebrity Bengals fan very close to Second Captains hearts.

 

Cape Verde lost 2-1 to Sadio Mané’s Senegal last night in the African Cup of Nations, bringing to an end Roberto “Pico” Lopes’ run at the tournament. The match also highlighted another example of what Ken sees as the most dangerous situation in football now: a sweeper keeper rushing an oncoming attacker, Ederson-style, with Sadio Mané seemingly losing consciousness in such an incident during the game (9.40).

 

Plus there’s the worst fight song of all time and McDevitt…. growling?
