| 0:00.0 | Drama in Denver is Joe Flacko elite enough to get the Browns to the Super Bowl relax and |
| 0:06.6 | Panic parties for the new year. We got all that more. I'm Jason Fitz and it is time for inside coverage. We start to show we have breaking news. This is crazy. It's already been a |
| 0:28.6 | wild day. Welcome to Inside. |
| 0:31.0 | Jerry Epstein, Charles Robinson, I'm Jason Fitz. |
| 0:33.2 | You know the drill will go through all the big news and this morning we were getting ready |
| 0:36.1 | to tape. |
| 0:37.1 | Everything seemed like it was going to be easy and then all of a sudden we get hit with the news, |
