ESPN's Joe Buck insists Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas will be a "mess" as Chiefs, 49ers brace for showdown

ESPN NFL announcer Joe Buck won't be at Super Bowl 58 to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers battle it out for the Lombardi trophy. The game will be played in Sin City, better known as Las Vegas. A decision Buck doesn't think it's a good idea.

During Monday's appearance on “The Opening Drive” on 101 ESPN in St. Louis, Buck predicted that something bad will happen, and it won't stay in Vegas. He didn't emphasize or speak more on what 'big' thing he thinks will happen, but he thinks something major could happen.

“I do not have any desire to be there. It’s a lot of logistics. It’s a lot of congestion. I’m not that way. I’m not looking for the Maxim party and going out all night. It’s just not my thing and then you combine that with Vegas."

“There’s going to be some story, there’s gonna be something that happens because it’s Vegas and it won’t stay in Vegas. It’s gonna be a big something that happens. I don’t know what it is. I have no idea. I just think that is going to be a mess in my mind.”

There have already been some notable questions and discussions this week leading up to the Super Bowl. Travis Kelce was asked about adding another ring to his collection, with a reporter basically asking if he will propose to Taylor Swift. Patrick Mahomes was asked how he felt about his father being arrested earlier this week.

Last year, Michael Irvin got accused of misconduct at a hotel in downtown Phoenix.
