What's in the wager between Kansas City's KCUR and Tampa's WUSF, the latest on the Chiefs' players and the Food Critics set you up for all-day Super Bowl Sunday eating.

Segment 1, beginning at 4:09: What smack talk sounds like on public radio and which Chiefs' players will be on the field come game day.

A sports championship offers a rare opportunity for public radio personalities to practice their verbal potshot skills, and after injuries and COVID-19 scares, what shape are the Kansas City Chiefs in for the championship game.

The predicted cold front descending on the metro may put the kibosh on firing up the grill or maybe you need some sides to go with your main course. The Food Critics are loaded with recommendations of area eateries with takeout options to save the day!
