" I -- Bryan Webber Erik Kramer we -- the Super Bowl matchup is."
" Is that we're going to tell you who's going to be playing in the big able -- start in the NF he would their title game."
" Eagles and Cardinals both hoping to take like -- FC championship game. Are earning a trip to the Super Bowl the roof was closed in Glendale Arizona pretty ideal conditions for bolted trying to light up the scoreboard. It was the Cardinals calling out of the 3225. Victory. Earning their first trip to the Super Bowl Arizona -- when he forced into halftime Philadelphia scored nineteen unanswered point take the lead. Kurt Warner would not be denied leading his team on the game winning touchdown drive for the Cardinals. Larry Fitzgerald was unstoppable catching nine passes 452 yards and three touchdowns becoming the first player to catch three TDs. Conference championship since Preston Pearson -- for the Cowboys in 1975. Kurt Warner almost perfect like for 279 yards and four touchdowns. On -- safety Adrian will give a huge recording a pair of sacks and forcing a fumble. Billy Donovan McNabb threw four -- everybody yards and three scores but he was plagued by near misses -- all day."
" Tied Edwards Alex scored two touchdowns for the Eagles and losing and a championship for the wartime of the past eight years."
" All the Cardinals will play in the first. An adult title game since 1948. Here's Joe Buck and Troy -- that would more."
" Through there. Number eleven is proving. To be me who want to say the best of -- in the same category as Fitzgerald he has been a determined demand this close is very remarkable when you look at this -- so many people doubted this football team. All season long especially once."
" Made it into the playoffs and go back to the fourth quarter there they were down by one point and needed to get something going not haven't done anything really in the second half. They drove the ball all the way down the field. I think that drive really was representative of what this team's all about that's why I say. With what they've done here today."
" People -- politically for. An absolutely great game we just witnessed. Here in Glendale Arizona."
" But let's not overlook the cardinal."
" Came up big in the fourth quarter -- Adrian will and this guy seems like one of the most underrated defensive players in the late."
" I was just about say Brian he's probably the best strong safety in the game that really nobody's heard about report about a now he came up with some big plays today got the -- someone Donovan. But all year long he has really been I think part of delete the leadership group that beat -- Early on this season they've -- lot of stunning and gambling on the fence trying to get to the quarterback they sort of settled down stop the run and pick their spots and today. Along with -- and mostly -- a lot of pressure on Donovan McNabb world guessing so let's try to take it educated look at the future with the Eagles and start with a coaching staff to the -- You know I think there's so much in the I think everything done including getting fired the other day threw everything out of -- and I think there's going to be probably a meeting to figure out where this franchise wants to go. Because I think McNabb and Reid are somehow tied together if they'd a side to keep read I think McNabb -- okay election spotlight McNabb for a moment. Go back to when he was -- in Baltimore played very well wrapping up the regular season. Not spectacular game in the title game what do you think the future -- for him. I think he earned himself -- a way back into the discussion ten they did quit -- with. Donovan and leave them the next several years I think health wise he's done it. What I a lot of what I learned today and I think what what some Philly fans have been frustrated by is his inability to make the key simple throw to keep drives going. That I think is what turned out in the end. Could be -- the Achilles still today have -- it not been able to extend some of the drives but he could have made would just simple throws and I think those of the things you gonna have to take into account if you want Donovan back okay let's go back to Andy -- he talked about the pressures of coaching at Philly with Fox's --"
" You've always been able to assembled -- Drama free kind of team. How -- even able to do that year after year after year."
" today especially when you go to the horizon rules of football season. You see you see where people teams fall apart. And those guys guys. That Dawkins and mavs. Both the offensive tackles. Westbrook you know there bunch of guys shall -- hasn't all been here you know -- they've all been here they kind of know the process and have gone through -- and they just during the tough times they keep it together mentally good point fingers Dolphins defense coaches. And I takes place in there it's a tight knit group."
" Have you changed over the last -- and just your coaching. Philosophies styles and ways your habit."
" I don't think I have been it's hard to tell when you when you're going through the process so. You breath somebody else for the most part on the same and same beliefs and you know do you change -- change in the time I don't know how much are aware of change push your guy on the coaching staff who can come and closed door and say."
" You might want to think about this."
" Well some guys have been -- for ten years ago all the old guys. The doors open and I appreciate. And suggestions. It's it's a team effort. And I surely can't do without them and there's no possible way so. I expect them if -- if that is if they see something I'm going to help us win football games let me know."
" The luxury of having the same quarterback or a decade. What is that allowed you to do. Just in terms of just this -- that you have I mean people can point to it hasn't done this and that many years but. Just your body of work kind of speaks for itself and I'm just wondering about that marriage."
" You have to understand wait. That he carries in the he wants to be the best he has yet here. Not. That lives that takes place in the end offseason. And they grind them through highs and lows of the season. Highs and lows in your own performance. Rally as the round so. I have the utmost respect form. I know we're not here without him. We couldn't have done all these things we've done here the grind of coaching. Gotten to Mike Holmgren might talk about the decision. I didn't know I did and that's tough thing to do. He's up there in years. And years of foot and that's. That's -- feat in itself so. You know it's nice form he's healthy. Great family -- that back him join the grandkids. Do whatever he wants to do. If you decide his command. Of the game they walk Womack great person and great -- you know point acting normal like younger and --"
" Big ears and miss any in his one team. Plano I don't put out fifteen years on. Open about her --"
" Give or take a -- your take if you. -- sir. You're not anywhere and it and I don't -- it."
" So the Cardinals are moving up to the Super Bowl for the first time coming up or break down the AFC championship game right after."
" 209 million dollars for this team he's."
" Any mere one day probably made it US industry."
" What was going to throw it felt. I don't know I would welcome."
" Went up com fox fire finally got a."
" Bobble head it looks like obviously they have way too much talent they've already proven me wrong the last few games so maybe we'll do to get everybody did everybody pedal like take I think good hard second look at your feet -- All. Far as the we. Reporters -- right. -- for the -- he's coming back. Some highs in what I'm doing. That is one of the biggest football event in the city are you confident factor. No question -- What I don't understand it."
" Welcome back to the -- he Bryan -- Erik Kramer we knew coming up we'll see -- Eagles fans dealt with their -- laws -- right now let's find out who's going to represent the -- in the Super Bowl."
" It was a black and blue matchup for the AFC championship game the Ravens Steelers got together though Pittsburgh. The Steelers beat the Ravens twice in the regular season could they pull off the trifecta I -- this."
" third time in eager charm for the Steelers beat the Ravens 2314 and move -- to the Super Bowl for the seventh time in team history. The Steelers let thirteen I think early in the game but the Ravens rally that cut the lead to two points late in the -- went Joe Flacco was intercepted. Troy Polamalu was spectacular forty yard return for touchdown for Pittsburgh and -- was perfect through four. 255 yards one touchdown to Santonio Holmes that covered 65 yards. Willie Parker. A non factor on the ground held to nearly 47 yards on 24 carries. Joe Flacco completed just three of 14000 the first Japanese with a 141 yards and three picks. Willis McGahee scored both of the Ravens touchdowns but was involved in the scary is the fourth quarter had to be carted off the field."
" Steelers will be going after a record sixth Super Bowl victory when they take on the Cardinals in Tampa."
" So we can't the Ravens run is over the young quarterback Joe Flacco seem to be lacking the always required to win the big game did -- shelf I didn't I think it did he like a lot of bullets are about poised but he lacked. Really options out there it was really drop back play action pass final one or two guys who were always seem to be covered and yet he -- try to make something happen that. He didn't have a lot of options when it means -- and dump -- underneath. Try to withstand drive. Hard to evaluate a team's -- when you take on a divas like the Ravens but I ask tough questions you know how I -- I do you think he's betting company did this week is no different for you -- I think -- I think man that his greatest asked that today was on third down and not always in the pocket he was -- looks and plays he did it he did some masterful. -- sessions getting outside of the pocket he worked it would have receivers finding guys. Making things happen that might that's not necessarily been stripped of the field so Miles Davis would elect that improbable that love when you watch the game did you -- because while burger hangs in there and isn't -- on the -- and locked out he does in and a lot of the things that happened in a negative fashion -- Ben. Happen as result of a -- coming in it I can't tell if you didn't see it. Or just doesn't care because he ends -- the ball and knows the times things that bad things happen when he looks aware of what's going on around them. Holds the ball. Good outside of the pocket that's when deepens on its heels that's when he makes and fantastic players -- he would have -- Leslie we talked a lot about the usually double that the league in San Diego where you surprised that threw the ball much against Baltimore they came up north near I was surprised and right away they ran a one time to Willie. -- Willie Parker and then right away Ben Roethlisberger sort of drawback of former all over the place in fact took a couple chances one or -- that could have been picked. He got a couple of break and it -- drives so I was really surprised they didn't they put the running game a little bit longer. The try to set ups more play action passes how about the new slash in Pittsburgh Troy Polamalu put a lot of those guys don't wheels he does -- in. You know if he looks like a running back he gets the ball in his hands and nobody's going to take him down -- and -- that's for sure. I think the fact that he plays with such an emotional porosity if someone that short fourth down the the end of the quarterback sneak he with a guy -- Diallo the -- if he gets the chance to make a play that's worth it worked a guy like -- mall can really. Put his stamp on a game. Everything turns around he gets focus okay we'll give you the."
" First glimpse of the Super Bowl matchup in a bit right now let's get the lady coaching scoop which from Jay Glazer."
" Well what we want badly as more information from our NFL insider Jay Glazer who is. Mr. inside information -- let's get right to of course big or this week. Happening down in Tampa the firing of John gruden and Bruce Allen how surprising was it to those two guys they got fired. Blogs started up the fact there are actually interviewing assistant to a three hour before they got fired occurred about that when they actually trying Joe Barry. Former -- with the Lions to deal two hours before the Gephardt -- to -- out of the war so what actually happened the league today you know I just got the point is that right after the season the owners meet with the head coach that they with -- until about three weeks after this past Wednesday. And Thursday during that time they -- players they got a different players -- based live -- told by the players we don't trust the guy and we don't trust to take it to the promised last. Wow let's get to the Rams they hired Giants defensive coordinator Steve Wright know what this week to be their head coach. Despite the fact though the Rams are rumored to be okay. What happens that they actually do get old -- sources actually told me they wanted to alleviate concerns so much they gave them an escape clause if they're old. -- he had an escape -- get out of the deal as head coach -- the -- while now wait let's take a look at the dates they hired the Clinton coordinator Gregg Williams this week now a lot of teams wanted him. They actually pull this off I think I've ever heard about that before my life but Sean Payton wanted so badly and we stole money after they're. -- agreed to give up a quarter billion dollar salary in the first year of his own deal endeavor Gregg Williams to help push it over the top. Are finally out out of coach -- Atlanta and there's a big shake up coming in the NFL all -- that wildcard I've learned that Mike Pereira that the vice president of officiating. Is retiring your tour in -- commissioner Goodell. Earlier this isn't how he has agreed to stay on next year just to help the transition to go to start looking for that's for immediately after the Super Bowl but -- Mike -- Out he's going to retire."
" I was a tough day for the Eagles and of course the rabid -- are Jackie Pickering was out about -- Los Angeles to see how Phillies fans were holding up."
" You don't know I'm Jackie figuring here with -- not come out night in front of this. On it like it put it -- has brought together eight huge. At Philadelphia Eagles the Eagles of course in -- NFC championship game playing against Arizona Cardinals making. Appearance since 2001. And the Eagles are trying to do that he. Did and bring back to work out at Philadelphia. And then there's -- don't -- that they practice day."
" America drawn out -- these life -- a -- and even likes it he read any. -- gonna -- that. Grows out of guys that can happen."
" All day long they have got -- event the budget -- offense but it's no."
" Kelly yeah yeah. Yeah it again."
" I would be a little. It could make me crazy I have been thrown his -- for three weeks for nothing. They drive me crazy but if they win it's worth it. I was so happy -- we don't keep it going. The greatest -- time. We're not going to happen to the eagles' super."
" Well it looks like a promising comeback by the Philadelphia Eagles but unfortunately they come up short in their season comes to -- and looks like they -- not be able to bring back that Super Bowl title to Philadelphia after off. But hey there's always next year and Jackie Pickering for foxsports.com. Posting an accent. Thank you Jackie much more on the way including a Super Bowl preview -- coming back after the."
" You -- 209 million dollars -- the -- can make more money than we make any mere. One day how many fans q.s for the -- What I was going to throw it felt. -- I don't I don't know I would welcome."
" Went -- com fox fire finally a."
" Bobble head it looks like obviously they have way too much talent they've already proven me wrong the last two games so maybe we'll do -- everybody everybody pedal like take look that good hard second look at -- European kids. All. Far as -- we. Reporters around. Did -- for the -- he's coming but. Sometimes you like them. That is one of the biggest football event in the city -- power -- factor. No question draft."
" That's why I don't understand it."
" Welcome back to the I'll let OT Bryan Webber Erik -- back -- coming up a QB or not QB but right now -- over to the clock at a till Sunday crude up further breakdown. Dominic that performance in the NFC title."
" Andy Reid now one in Ford -- in championship games and Donovan McNabb has a team record they both have been there over the last eight years we've talked about the pregame show about his leg -- whether or not this game would impact it. Look at his performance today and whether or not you do think this will go down as one postings as he's the guy who can't when they get out of there look at this game they -- they missed opportunities and it's hard to say you know McNabb had. Was all because he's thrown for 335 yards and three touchdowns but there were a lot of missed opportunities he was not sharp on the ball now the one thing had to I was impressed with. In playoff games you gotta take chance Ken Whisenhunt with 757 at left to go in the game and 49 yard land. Fourth down and one he'd go toward they don't in score. Bertrand Berry told me last year you guys make it to the -- boy practicing at our facility here in Arizona the big motivating factor for us. I don't know what within the water there but it worked graduate to the Cardinals this improbable season VOA Cardinals. And that's final drive of Kurt Warner to me is an exclamation point. On what is the whole thing court that you take a look at it Kurt Warner now going to his third Super Bowl wanted one so far. But this is a big when the first year he went with Saint Louis that was a surprise is because the Rams about it or wherever right now this Arizona Cardinals team. Doing just the same as they keep pace."
" Another Super Bowl is at the Cardinals eighty on the Steelers let's break down -- the key match up Arizona's. Three top ten all -- in Atlanta Carolina Billy ETA to dealers not bode -- Arizona he looking to do more of the game."
" I think what you have to do -- Arizona clock cross the line of scrimmage you know going to try to run Willie Parker up in the middle. That being said if you slow him down you have a much better chance of stopping that that play action game because that's really what Phil and I were Pittsburgh makes a lot of their big plays in the play action game if you -- slow the rundown he give a lot better banished -- babies statistically the Steelers the -- in all football however Howard vague or to counter the talent that leverage -- well the -- that -- And -- care of photo Larry whoever. They're going to bring pressure you they have to get the quarterback uncomfortable. Philly wasn't able to do as much at least not the first half if you can get the Warner. Didn't throw off his heels a little bit that's what he's going to make -- line throw whether it's hilarious someone else the great thing about Larry is you can put a little off line and he's still gonna go get a more times than not. Okay let's talk about the all that it was the pack again and that led Arizona to the playoffs in the polls he's in the run game return what are expected a -- they have to do -- the same it's worked great so far they've got Edgerrin James off the ground a little bit. Give him on an outside little bit inside high towers and a great change to pay another the great thing to do when you've got the threat of the run. You got the -- the play action they even come up with great screens at a play action both -- type -- things. That'll keep it -- active defensive front. At -- a little bit and -- and -- some play -- going and get that ball down field and big -- to guys like and talk to guys like Larry Fitzgerald one of the reasons why Arizona's defense has improved the -- have been taking more chance blitzing aggressively -- Big Ben Roethlisberger it's like well the the key for Arizona really -- is that they've they've taken chances but they've -- really more calculated chances in the in the in the playoffs and they've made those those chances count for something earlier in the season it was a little bit more helter -- now they've got some rhyme -- reason to it and I think. Because of that. To Pittsburgh's going to have a much more difficult timer on the football than they would have say earlier in the season and because that I think they're going to be able sit down some of those running lanes and make a lot harder have been the feel comfortable in the -- week to -- to get ready for the Roman numeral game you can read this story over and over and over again it wasn't on taking out his old team bought it -- power on the sideline notes Mike public. Any advantage -- was not going up again -- think so because they've been really he knows the city I think he can he can get his team to communicate that to the Arizona Cardinals that hey I've been -- I know what goes on those meeting rooms I know that the mood in that locker room I know a lot of guys that are there. They're no different from you. The fact that he can get in there did a little bit of that that psychological edge. Bridge the gap there between that his own team I think there's only going to help with the familiarity of the whole thing I'm Mike Tomlin how -- he been this successful this quickly seems like this team is following his personality which is tough it really is and in really. That this was all that done in that years ago when the rulings came in and they established. Really they've only had what three or four head coach has come -- think of the fourth head coach they've ever had their they've got a certain. Grind it out. Hard blue collar type of personnel and -- locker room Mike Tomlin is the next coach that can clearly made that his his determining factor on what type of team he's got they're very tough hard minded football team. It's time for QB your not QB for quarterback that you troubled one's going to be the best ball will be the worst. Who will be left the load Eric what that was about quarterback. All of the conference championship -- I'm gonna go with Kurt Warner what a great game what a great first half he executed. I have to give a couple of assists one to Todd Haley what a great. Game calling these -- he had today that up a lot of things one I was able to execute the offensive line gave him protection of course. And I think Warner did one masterful job -- in the first half but then executing that game winning drive at the end of the three quarterbacks to choose from -- not you've been. You know are probably -- chosen between him back -- o'clock and Obama to go what McNabb. Donovan I thought had a lot of he had good opportunity to make great plays his numbers didn't end up being too bad almost 400 yards and three touchdowns. But there were key points in this game -- Brian when he get a chance. Excuse of -- froze and get some big plays and instead they came or nothing. He gains -- of as always we appreciate -- analysis that's going to do it for this edition of the online OT. We say goodbye with frank Kelly -- those championship game next let's see how he."
" Now you know debatable which championship game is better today. The one in the NFC with a AF but right. He'll pick the one he -- most. -- Here's my whole politics. Presented by -- right."
" Up playoff time where's the tabloids referred to it. Vacation yeah."
" Phillies -- Arizona it's Kurt Warner versus Donovan McNabb was like to call it the book at least two. The Cardinals are like Keith Richards no one can believe there's still -- Kurt Warner -- like -- may be old but he -- Doris how. But I don't you never let me in the guys. -- the shoes. -- McNabb bigger boat on the sideline last week during that he was making a prank call but who can blame. I mean everybody lives screwed Danica. Tells you all the big hub -- is something we have picked up the -- just -- the Giants offense voted in all afternoon Glavine up ladies. Winner this game will go one of the Super Bowl in the losers going home. To Philadelphia yep you got it. Going with the guards and in the AFC it's the Steelers in the Ravens the first two games this season were tighter than Joan Rivers state. Wait a -- with the Steelers. Enough. Listening to dog for a young did you read it should drop a couple plans. Then the less bucks game in the years -- the people on the show can get ready for -- season Jimmie Johnson likes to let his hair down. Should I say take it off. And try once again to get a job predicting the weather for basketball games and good luck with that -- and here's how we loan. Besides making muscles in the mural date you'll be getting back into the movies that next weekend he wants to seed Benjamin button. Okay now have you fellas we'll excuse me the games are about to begin no not football. Abroad June."
" President but. You've done the -- earlier and I got bit of a button so you may be our new to get -- did you get. It took of that yet and I like Dennis Miller joked I get a low it's about 52 delay right this is real hair I cannot tell you get all affect a all right guys at the Davids and Michael Strahan last week that would its heart. And lost diet so standings. That allowed -- to close the gap Bible believing that we gave what that lead right now and getting perilously originally born points behind. -- we would jump ahead be it is now a third place that -- deviant. -- This -- they don't have a -- it was that today's games beginning with electricity Arizona over Philly Jimmy got. Little butter cup while when -- next year okay. I'm."
" Take and."
" Philadelphia. Had it not taken a two point with me few weeks ago we don't be straight but I'm going to pick Philadelphia also I'm gonna go home with this dog but I'm going back with -- I hate this part of the -- I hate picking games all you do is make people mad picnic but I'm going with my heart I don't know Arizona is going to win the another chance to make people man -- Frank is taking the dealers to blast Baltimore and Pittsburgh Steelers public -- Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm with them. -- right so basically. Arizona native Baltimore suitable. But the way you guys pick -- all right let me get a Super Bowl picks right now registered in Pittsburgh to win at all. I'm taken Philadelphia to win it all. Wow you know it best camping but that one -- when I'm going for -- on the Pittsburgh. Sometimes if I'm -- yeah aren't -- yeah. Everything I worked hard for the dog man -- couldn't at all last week to Bob. Pittsburgh report was of course you are going to lose -- I'd love."
