Summary

By Martin RogersFOX Sports ColumnistJust as the dust settled on a sensational NFL divisional-round weekend, the sparks began to fly again.Perhaps unsurprisingly, given that they’re division rivals and from two cities with a long-standing sporting status of mutual dislike, it was the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers who started going at it with some sneaky tricks and crafty mind games.What was surprising, however, was what sparked the sudden spate of animosity ahead of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at SoFi Stadium (6:30 p.m. ET on FOX).Tickets.Crowd makeup has been a hot-button topic ever since the Rams were caught unaware in Week 18. And the prospect of it happening again is something the Rams organization was determined to at least try to avert.Which led to some highly entertaining to-and-fro in the early part of this week.Melissa Whitworth, wife of Rams offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, issued a Twitter plea to Rams fans, urging them not to sell their tickets to 49ers rivals or to list them online, saying that she would buy them instead.The banter continued when retired lineman Joe Staley, beloved among the 49ers' fan base after spending his entire career with the organization, concocted an almost identical tweet in reverse, offering to buy any spare tickets from Rams fans and distribute them to those in red.Staley was soon joined by former 49ers running back Frank Gore, who also offered cash to buy up seats, and current players Kyle Juszczyk and Fred Warner called for an army of San Francisco supporters to take over SoFi once more."It's going to be as much of a home game [as] the Niners can have in an NFC Championship on the road," Staley told KNBR radio.
