Will Trash Talking Cost Cincy Mayor His Job After Bengals Loss?

Clay & Buck discussed the Super Bowl, and the peak of trash talk that we have seen in the NFL playoffs this year. It’s not uncommon for politicians to make bets over sports but this is unique — and there may be consequences for the mayor of Cincinnati, Aftab Pureval. Combined with WWE-style boasting, Bengals fans think it may have motivated the Chiefs to victory.

The name of the stadium where the Chiefs play, of course, is Arrowhead Stadium.

Travis Kelce just told Cincinnati’s mayor to know his role and shut his mouth. He’s going to WWE one day, isn’t he? pic.twitter.com/kMNteHEmc8

Clay thinks this will impact the mayor when he faces reelection but Buck has more faith in the people of Cincinnati. Which side are you on? Tweet us your take @ClayAndBuck — or, if you’re a 24/7 VIP, send us an email. Plus, remember to subscribe to the iHeartRadio podcast so you don’t miss a minute.
