Tonight’s show is shortened as KMOX wraps up the broadcast of the St. Louis University women’s basketball Coaches Show. Matt shares the news that the Cardinals have designated minor leaguer Moises Gomez for assignment and picked up first baseman/outfielder Alfonso Rivas off of waivers from the Angels. Matt also discusses Sunday’s NFC and AFC championship games with former NFL tight end Ed Smith and previews the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and 49ers. Where does Ed rank Travis Kelce on his list of tight ends? Does he believe Lions coach Dan Campbell cost Detroit the game? Who’s he got for the Super Bowl? Find out on Sports Open Line! To wrap up the hour, Matt dives into the Chiefs’ popularity in St. Louis and is joined by KMOX legal analyst Brad Young who gives his thoughts on the matter.
