Nick Bosa rips media with NSFW message after Brock Purdy’s magnificent performance against Lions

“He’s the best game manager in the league.”

Nick Bosa has been paying attention to what the media has been saying about Brock Purdy, and he doesn’t like it.

After a gutsy, lights-out performance during the second half of the NFC Championship, Brock Purdy has nearly destroyed every narrative imaginable. The 49ers were down 24-7 at halftime and scored 27 unanswered points. That’s not an easy feat, and it has a lot to do with Purdy, a former “Mr. Irrelevant,” playing like Mr. Super Bowl.

By all accounts, Purdy wasn’t ready to let his team go home empty-handed. So, when Nick Bosa was asked about Purdy’s performance during a postgame interview, he did not hold back and challenged the media to come up with something else to say about his quarterback.

(Warning: NSFW language.)

Jared Goff had a playful exchange with reporter over Lions’ lack of star power compared with the 49ers’

Jared Goff, probably: “I see the 49ers’ talent and raise you the Detroit Lions’.”

The Detroit Lions are loaded with talent, and after a historic playoff win, that talent is rightfully getting the recognition they deserve. Yet, leading up to the NFC Championship, there’s a perception that the Lions don’t have as many superstars as the San Francisco 49ers. On Wednesday, Quarterback Jared Goff was asked about that notion and jokingly started rattling off players from his roster.

When fans think of the San Francisco 49ers, they probably think of Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Kyle Juszczyk and George Kittle on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, there’s Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Javon Hargrave and Charvarius Ward, to name a few.

But when it comes to the Detroit Lions, fans might not be able to rattle off names as easily, creating the perception that the Lions’ talent isn’t comparable in some areas to the 49ers’. Jared Goff was asked about this during media availability Wednesday and handled the question in the best way possible.

Listen to Lions announcer Dan Miller’s electrifying call as Detroit clinched NFC title game appearance

This Lions announcer call will give you goosebumps.

Any time a once downtrodden franchise like the Detroit Lions finally rises to prominence, it’s worth putting a microscope on the local spin. With the Lions set for a date against the San Francisco 49ers in next Sunday’s NFC title game, Detroit radio broadcaster Dan Miller was the perfect person to set the table.

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tried to mount a futile rally on Sunday afternoon, Miller delivered a call on Derrick Barnes’ game-clinching interception that was absolutely breathtaking. It is one of those moments that captivate us when we take the time to actually sit down and watch sports.

It truly does not get any better than special, exciting calls like this:

Man, if that doesn’t give you goosebumps just listening to it, I don’t know what will.
