The ending of Sunday's Eagles-Bears game was the talk of wild-card weekend. But the Spanish play-by-play call of the final seconds has become a story in its own right.


Eagles play-by-play announcer Rickie Ricardo's call of Cody Parkey's missed field goal has gone viral on the Internet, as Ricardo repeatedly shouts "No señor!" and then begins to sing Frank Sinatra's "Chicago."

Give it a listen yourself.

Ricardo, who also works for WFAN and is the Spanish voice of the Yankees, joined Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Monday to discuss the reaction to his call. 

"All night long, I've been getting requests from newspapers and every media outlet possible," Ricardo said. "I'm absolutely stunned by the reaction to this. It was just something that happened."

Ricardo went on to discuss the Eagles, in particular quarterback Nick Foles, who led Philadelphia on the game-winning touchdown drive. Could the Eagles have a QB controversy on their hands? 

"Let's say that he wins one more game or two more games, how can you take the ball away from the guy's hands?" Ricardo said.

Would Philadelphia consider trading Carson Wentz? 

"I think Foles would have to carry the Lombardi Trophy fo the second time this year," Ricardo said. "If it got to that extent, then they would have to sit down and re-evaluate the whole thing."
