Chris Russo finally admits he ‘shouldn’t be picking on’ Caitlin Clark after wild Chiefs rant

Chris Russo finally admits he ‘shouldn’t be picking on’ Caitlin Clark after wild Chiefs rant

Dan Patrick might have gotten Chris Russo to do something few have ever done before. 

Admit he was wrong.

Russo was one Mad Dog a day earlier over the fact that Caitlin Clark showed up to last weekend’s Chiefs playoff game and questioned her fandom, and was raring to go off again on Tuesday when he was on “The Dan Patrick Show.” 

What he didn’t seem to anticipate was Patrick pushing back on the fact that Russo was ᴅᴇᴀᴅ wrong about Clark “all of sudden” becoming a Chiefs fan. 

“Caitlin Clark has announced her fandom with the Chiefs years ago,” Patrick chimed in to say. 

“I never heard that, did she? I didn’t know that,” Russo said.  

“Did she? She’s a Chiefs fan. She knows about Super Bowl I?” Russo continued to ask to the bemusement of Patrick. “Does she know about Miami-Kansas City double overtime 27-24 for one of the most famous games in the history of the National Football League?”

Russo’s bigger issue, it appears, is his thinning patience with all the attention that the Chiefs have been getting.

Kansas City is looking to win its third consecutive Super Bowl this season and could move closer to that goal with a win over the Bills on Sunday in the AFC championship game. 

During Tuesday’s appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show,” the two also went back and forth over how much Taylor Swift, the pop icon and the girlfriend of Chiefs тιԍнт end Travis Kelce, was being shown on broadcasts.

The pair did return to the subject of Clark, with Patrick bringing up the well-circulated pH๏τo of the Indiana Fever superstar wearing Chiefs gear when she was younger alongside family members. 

“Looks like she’s about 8 years old, she’s with her cousins and she has her Chiefs jersey on,” Patrick said. 

“Oh you guys with Caitlin Clark now,” a smirking Russo said before Patrick offered his fellow sports talk host a chance to apologize to the hooper.

“What is she Hank Stram now?” Russo said with a laugh. “I guess. I guess. I shouldn’t be picking on Caitlin Clark. I’m Chief’d out.”

Clark has spoken about her Chiefs fandom a number of times before showing up to the 23-14 win over the Texans, including on a ManningCast broadcast in 2023 and more recently in an episode of the “New Heights” podcast hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce.
