1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Oh, a great time watch Steve Taskers. Time time Tasker.

2
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Chris Brown here with you again on a great Friday.

3
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: We've got our friend Daryl Talley coming in at one o'clock.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: We've got Tasker's teammate whom I don't know who that's

5
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna come on today as well. We've got

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: that little segment coming on. Yeah, we've got news going

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: on around the sports world. Obviously, is a lot of

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: stuff's going on in football. We've got at the present

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: current moment, thirty three total opt outs in the National

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: Football League. And baseball UH is still struggling with the

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Marlins and what to do with those guys. We were

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: just talking about what they're doing on the way just

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: before we came on the air, and Brownie baseball is

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: not pretty and I know football and football fans are

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: watching that to see how that's going over in that sport. Man,

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: oh man, the Marlins have really thrown a monkey wrench

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: into the works right and there. And now they're not

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: even the only team because the Saint Louis Cardinals have

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: two positive tests on their roster or in their organization.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: I believe it's two players out to double check and

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that has prompted Major League Baseball to cancel the Milwaukee

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Brewers home opener against the Cardinals to try to stop

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the spread there. And the Cardinals just finished a series

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Twins. So now the Twins are on

25
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: notice to take a closer look at all their testing

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: every day to see where they might stand in three

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: to four days, five days, you know, knowing the incubation

28
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: period could be taking place there as well. We know

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: the Phillies there were some positive tests there. There may

30
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: be more in the coming days, again knowing the incubation

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: period and that it can last up to fourteen days.

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: And they were, you know, they were the last team

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: to play the Marlins. The craziest thing. And Jeff Passon

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: and Jesse Rodgers, two Major League Baseball reporters for ESPN,

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: have been like all over this, They've done a great job.

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: But Jesse Rogers was reporting on the sad state of

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: the Marlins in terms of travel. And I'm telling you

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: right now, you don't want to be the traveling cebrity

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: for any of these teams, but the Marlins right now,

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: according to Jesse Rodgers from ESPN, they are sending their

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: infected players and coaches back to Miami by sleeper bus,

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: which that's a fun trip from Philly. And then their

43
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: healthy players and coaches are going to be bussing from

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Philly to Baltimore to start their series with the Orioles.

45
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Then they have to go up to New York to

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: play the Yankees, and then from there they come up

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo to play the Blue Jays. So essentially

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: they have they will not be home back in their

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: home confines of Miami, and you may not want to

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: be there right now anyway, for the better part of

51
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks to a month. How long

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: have they been in Philly so far? They've been there

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: almost a week. Oh, is that all? It seemed like

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: it's been a long time. Yeah, I think it's been

55
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: since last weekend, So I think it's almost a week now, right,

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: And so wait, and I told you this too. They

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: are going to They're going to bust the sick COVID

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: players on the Marlins back to South Florida where Hurricane

59
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: isaiahs is about to make landfall. Yeah, and they're just

60
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: treating there. We're I was making a joke about they're

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: treating Florida like it's a leopard colony. Well, well, I

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: mean they're sick, but sending them to Florida doesn't really

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: impact too many people down in Florida because they're all

64
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: sick too. Well, it doesn't matter either, because wherever you

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: send these teams, they're going to be in a population

66
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to stay away from anyway, right right.

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm hoping against this, Steve. I'm hoping we're

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: not seeing, you know, the domino effect that the spread

69
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: of coronavirus can be within Major League Baseball, because you know,

70
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: now the Phillies will they and we'll know more than

71
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the next day or two and probably through the weekend.

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: If the Phillies are a team that you know they

73
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: got to postpone games for, or if they have enough

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: players to play that are not positive. And at what

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: point do you say, Okay, you've tested negative five days

76
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: in a row, the incubation periods passed, you're good to play. Phillies,

77
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: go play this game against whom ever. And then the

78
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals do the two positive tests turn into four, eight, ten, twelve,

79
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: And then what are the repercussions for the Minnesota Twins?

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: So you have two positive tests on the Cardinals, and

81
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: it impacts four teams because now they're talking about Minnesota

82
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: not playing since they were the last team to play

83
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and are you unnecessarily exposing players on the

84
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: team that the Twins are playing in their next series.

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: Here's how this is relevant to the NFL, which you

86
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: know what we're interested in here. The difference is that

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have time to test between games. For these teams.

88
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: In the NFL, there's a week between games, so you're

89
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to you're gonna be able to get on

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: top of that and not let it spread from other

91
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: teams to other teams. So if you can get on

92
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: top of it and find out, you know, do the

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: tracing and the contact tracing, and know that you don't

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: have another game coming up, you won't have to really

95
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: cancel the other game. If you've got enough guys who

96
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: test positive or to test negative twice during the week

97
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: to field the team and they can they can go

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: ahead and plow through the season because of the distance

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: between games. That makes a big difference, and huge difference, huge,

100
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: no question, there's no question about that. That is one

101
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: thing that is absolutely working in the NFL's favor. Just

102
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: by virtue of the fact they only play once a week.

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: I think where it could get tricky for them is

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: the proximity to the game in which they have positive

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: tests or god forbid an outbreak, Like if that happens

106
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: after practice results come back on Friday, that you got

107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: six guys that tested positive, Now you could really be

108
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: throwing a wrench into the works. Now you have to decide,

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: probably in the span of twenty four hours, especially if

110
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: they have the road game. Are they traveling, are they

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: getting on a plane, are they staying here? Is the

112
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: team leaving? Are they staying? Are there enough players? Are

113
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: there more players? That's where the timing of the positive

114
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: tests for the NFL could really throw a wrench into things. Absolutely.

115
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: And then, because here's the thing, even if all those

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: guys on Friday, there's only six guys that test positive,

117
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: you don't know which guys are asymptomatic and or carriers

118
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: that have been exposed to those guys and don't have

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: symptoms yet or don't test positive in that test. Would

120
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and if you if you did one on Thursday before

121
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: the Friday tests and they got those results back on Saturday,

122
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: or if you did it on Friday, and got the

123
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: test results back on Saturday, then you'd know a little better.

124
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, that late in the week is

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: really going to be an issue. And they're going to

126
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: start after training camp, after the first couple of weeks

127
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: of training camp, they're only going to test twice a week, right,

128
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and I know employees in the building will be once

129
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: a week at that point. So yeah, I mean it's

130
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: gonna this is not an easy path. This is not

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: the path of least resistance. I think we all know that,

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: and there's no way to predict how it's going to

133
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: go in each NFL city, you know, when we get

134
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: to that point. But hopefully things go well in the

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: early goings. Knowing that there are no games and there

136
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: is no travel, you would like to think that the

137
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: reduce the risk is minimized. But again, it goes back

138
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: to what we were talking about yesterday too, Steve, guys

139
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: being responsible and doing the right thing by their fellow

140
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: teammates and coaches by not venturing out and going and

141
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, expanding the number of people they exposed themselves too. Yeah,

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: we were The Bills also put out a statement yesterday

143
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: and it says, as we were informed by medical experts.

144
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: As training camp opened, we expected to have positive tests

145
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: for COVID, and we've had five since the beginning of

146
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: testing period last Tuesday. We decided to take a discipline,

147
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: proactive and preventative approach to hopefully eliminate additional cases within

148
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: our team. And what that means is they send everybody

149
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: home to have all the rest of the meetings that

150
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: they were going to have in the building. They had

151
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: all those virtually and separated everybody out. Now they'll continue testing,

152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: but they're gonna find out real quick how far that

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: spread or how you know, how well they're protocols when

154
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: they get those guys in there and they test positive,

155
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: how well the protocols work for not letting it spread

156
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: from that point. So that's going on with the Buffalo Bills,

157
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: And as we said earlier in the show, thirty three

158
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: total guys across the National Football League have opted out.

159
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: And I was doing the breakdown Brownie on positional positional

160
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, distribution of how which kind of guys are

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: doing it. And of the thirty three guys, twenty of

162
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: them are big guys, d lineman and offensive linemen. There's

163
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: seven defensive tackles, two and two other defensive ends. So

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: that's nine defensive linemen, eleven offensive linemen, guards and tackles

165
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: are opted out. Now, then there's only three wide receivers,

166
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: three running backs, which one of which uh, two running

167
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: backs and a fullback U. Two linebackers, three wideouts, two

168
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: tight ends, a kick returner, two defensive backs, one safety

169
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: in one corner. So let's kind of run the gamut.

170
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: But then the heavy, Yeah, the heavy guys are the

171
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: ones that are really, um, really the ones that are

172
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: opting out. And you could imagine because they carry so

173
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: much weight, they're the ones that probably have as many

174
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: health risks outside of COVID, uh, you know, than than

175
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: most guys do. Now, some of these guys are voluntary

176
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: opt outs, obviously, some of them are not the vaul

177
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: terry opt outs. Uh. There's andres Andre Smith, the offensive

178
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: lineman from Baltimore Starlow to lela uh, Eddie Vanderdose the

179
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, offensive lineman, Laurent Devna Tardiff, the medical doctor

180
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: who's laying out because of his profession, and Nagi porn Uh.

181
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Those are also Chance Warmack and Anthony McKinney. Now, all

182
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: those are all the big guys. That have like voluntarily

183
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: opted out. Uh, there are higher risk opt outs, which

184
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: are Michael Pierce, defensive tackle Marcus Cannon for the New

185
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: England Patriots, and offensive lineman and defensive end Caleb Brantley

186
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: and Marquis Goodwin. You know we heard he was right.

187
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about I'm just mentioning the big guys that, uh,

188
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: there seems to be And I didn't really think about it,

189
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: but it makes a lot of sense that the big

190
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: guys would have more guys opting out because of other

191
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: health risks. So for the voluntary opt outs for these

192
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote big guys, do you think it is rooted

193
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: in in the body mass index issue there, because they

194
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: do say if you have a high body mass index,

195
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: you can technically be at greater risk. Um, And I

196
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: think part of the reason for that, Stephen, Believe me,

197
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I'm just theorizing here. Um, you've

198
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: got extra weight on your frame. It's a respiratory disease,

199
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: So God forbid you come down with it. Now You're

200
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: you're laid up, you're flat on your back. You've got

201
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: that extra weight sitting on your lungs, which are already

202
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: taxed to begin with. I have to imagine that's part

203
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: of the issue there. Yeah, and there's no blank You

204
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: can generalize, certainly, but there's no blankets. My experience that

205
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: all these guys are a different position. Some of them

206
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: are doing it because of their families. Some of them

207
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: are doing it because of they do have health risk

208
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: It took us twenty minutes to get out of Marque's

209
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: good one yesterday. He's got asthma and sickle cell, which

210
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: are both high risk. So and he's doing it for

211
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: his family, not for himself, that's right, and he's not.

212
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: That's the mentality. Mentality most of these guys have, I

213
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: think money. They don't care about their own bodies. If

214
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: they did, they wouldn't be playing professional football. They're gonna

215
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: go if they can go. But when their family, when

216
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,119
Speaker 1: you add their wives and their kids into a particularly

217
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: young babies, like a lot of these guys are a

218
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: handful of them are, that's the that's the part where

219
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: they say, you know what, I got to pull the

220
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: ripcord on behalf of them. I'd do it if I could,

221
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: but not because of them. And that's that's where they

222
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: sit in most of them, there's no real generalization, they're

223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: all different. And with all these defensive linemen pulling out,

224
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: particularly defensive tackles more still than defensive ends, it's created

225
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: an opening in the market for guys that are still

226
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: sitting out there in free agency. I mean, you're talking

227
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: about Mike Daniels, Timmy Snacks, Harrison, Damata Peco. Even though

228
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: he's thirty five, he's apparently in shape and been staying

229
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: ready waiting for the phone to ring. Star is out

230
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: of the mix for the Bills, and I know they

231
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: have depth there on the interior, but I think it's

232
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: likely that they at least pick up the phone and

233
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: see who might be out there and available at an

234
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: affordable price. You are saving money on on Star salary,

235
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: which is not on the cap now for this year.

236
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: That's four and a half million that he's guaranteed, which

237
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: is listen, that's has good money. It's nothing to sneeze at.

238
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: And if you're not, it's beat's not working right. Um. Certainly,

239
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: if the Bills think feel like they need it, they're

240
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: probably searching that market out uh, and you know, doing

241
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: some due diligence on those players, no question about if

242
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: they haven't already. Also, it's been reported by Marcel Louis Jacque,

243
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: who uh has been on our program. He's the Bills

244
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: people ESPN reporter for for UH for this region and

245
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: he also he covers the Bills pretty well. He says,

246
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,359
Speaker 1: um that it's been reported by him that John Feliciano,

247
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: the Bills offensive lineman, offensive guard, he's gonna miss eight

248
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: to twelve weeks with a torn pectoral muscle. Yeah. Uh,

249
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: nothing official from the Bills yet. Um. Yeah, we're working

250
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: on that to get that confirmed. Yeah, they haven't confirmed

251
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: or denied that, but that's been reported by Marcel Louis

252
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: Jacques plenty of a couple of other outlets offensive line

253
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: with that couple other outlets have reported it now too,

254
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: so it appears to have legs to it. So we're

255
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: we're working right now to get it confirmed by the team,

256
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: and as soon as we do that, we'll let you

257
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: know when and if it's official. But yeah, that would

258
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: certainly put a hole in that starting offensive line. And

259
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: there are two layers to that too, Steve, because let's

260
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: not forget Sean Feliciano was the team's backup center as well.

261
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: So you know, when Mitch morrismissed time he would just

262
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: slide right over and they'd bring a guard on the field.

263
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: So his his what seems like his impending absence from

264
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: the lineup this season, You know what happens, you know,

265
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: does Daryl Williams suddenly become the favorite to be the

266
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: right guard? Do they say let's move Cody forward over

267
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: from right tackle and start a competition at right tackle.

268
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see how they choose

269
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: to line players up here at the outset based on

270
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: what they think might be best for them, and then

271
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: taking it a step further. You know, who steps into

272
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: the void as a backup center? I think you're looking

273
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: at Evan Bam and you're looking at Spencer Long in

274
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: that case. Uh not that you can rule out younger

275
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: players like Ike Butcher who's done some center work, or

276
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates who can play all the line positions. Yeah,

277
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: but you know, in a in a season like this,

278
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: with so much up in the air, I tend to

279
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: think that they're going to rely on veteran players first

280
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: and give them the opportunity to do these kinds of jobs.

281
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: So if you want to, I know a lot of

282
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: coaches steve historically, especially up on the line don't want

283
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: to change two positions for the sake of taking care

284
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: of one, you know, ate more upheaval. So my inkling is,

285
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: and I don't you know, I don't have any inside

286
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: knowledge on this. We'll obviously see when they line them

287
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: up and actually get to practice. But my my inkling

288
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: is that they'll leave Cody Ford at right tackle because

289
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: they know who Darryl Williams is as a player there

290
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: from their time with him in Carolina, and I think

291
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: they may put him at guard in a competition potentially,

292
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: but you know, it could be like Daryl Williams, Evan Bam,

293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Long, who knows. And then they'll work on deciding

294
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: who the backup center is and kind of go from there. Yeah,

295
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of flexibility up front. And we

296
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: haven't even we haven't even scratched the surface of what

297
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: these guys look like on the field and what guys

298
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: are going to be able to do what they're asking

299
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: them to do, what guys they like. I mean, you've

300
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: got we've got a ton like friends that I mean,

301
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: you never know what This kid, Trey Adams may turn

302
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: out to be an incredible right tackle for the Bills.

303
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: A rookie six eight three Levin. He's young. He was

304
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be a high round draft pick and then

305
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: he had a couple of injuries his last two years

306
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: in Washington, but he was projected as being a really high,

307
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: highly drafted player. Yeah, not good. Injuries, right, It's never good.

308
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: And that's why you know. I saw him. He looked

309
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: tremor when I saw him in his I saw him

310
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: at the combine, and then I saw him in his

311
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't know photos of his jerseys and stuff when

312
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: they finally fit him for a Bill's uniform. He looks tremor.

313
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: He looks tremor. We'll see if that makes a difference

314
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: for guys like that. Steve Tasker, Chris Brown here till

315
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: three o'clock talking about the Buffalo Bills and trainee camp

316
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: and all the question marks and the uncertainty surrounding the

317
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the rest of the National Football League.

318
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: What else we have tweet sheet, Let's go to the

319
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Twitter poll the NFL. Let's hear it is the NFL

320
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: knowing that the NFL is watching baseball closely. How do

321
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: you think what happens with the Major League Baseball and

322
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen will impact the way the NFL conducts this season.

323
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: How do you think what's going on in Major League

324
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: Baseball will impact the National Football League and how they

325
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: conduct their business? Is it going to a the NFL

326
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: is going to restrict travel to hotspot states, be hold

327
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: games at neutral sites, see rescheduled teams with major outbreak breaks,

328
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: or d localized team bubbles with players living at hotels

329
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: near the facility. You can give us a call at

330
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: eight h three oh five fifty or tweet us at

331
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, or call us from outside the Buffalo

332
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: area at one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Brownie,

333
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: What are your opening thoughts about how the league will

334
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: handle it? Yeah, I think you know, as you mentioned

335
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, the fact that they

336
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: only have to play once a week may keep them

337
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: from having a knee jerk reaction to what's going on

338
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: in baseball right now with now more than one team

339
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: dealing with positive tests, and I think they'll they'll hold

340
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: their water to a certain extent on this. But if

341
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: the baseball thing goes sideways, even though they only play

342
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: once a week compared to Major League Baseball, which plays

343
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: five to six times a week. They're gonna have to

344
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: take a hard look at this and come up with

345
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: other ways to do the regular season that run counter

346
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: to what Major League Baseball is trying to do right

347
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: now with travel and just living the normal life as

348
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: much as you can. So it wouldn't shock me if

349
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: knowing the teams that are you got teams in hot states?

350
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean California, you got what two teams there? Or

351
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: three teams there? Now? Sorry? Two LA teams? No, two

352
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: LA teams? Got a Las Vegas team now, yeah, Las

353
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Vegas two teams with Arizona's a hot state. Arizona, Texas

354
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: has two teams Houston and Dallas. Florida's got three Jacksonville. Yeah,

355
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: it's very hot state. So do you move those teams

356
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: out of those states and put them in safer states

357
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: and then play at neutral sites? I mean, you don't

358
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: have any fans anyway, So what's the difference if you

359
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: play at a neutral site in a safer place. I

360
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: don't know if that's really a solution. I don't know

361
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: if it's an idea that would get any traction. But

362
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Florida just broke another record yesterday for daily

363
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: deaths it's terrible. So between what's going on in the

364
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: hotspots States and how this thing unfolds with Major League Baseball,

365
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: the NFL may have to re examine what they're planning

366
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: to do right now. I think it's at least possible,

367
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: especially if if the MLB goes sideways with these infection rates. Yeah,

368
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: and it's it's your opinions are being reflected in our

369
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Twitter pool. Forty seven forty eight percent of our respondence

370
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: say they're gonna have to go to localized team bubbles.

371
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to put the Bills in their town

372
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, the Dolphins there in Miami. Every play,

373
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: every team's gonna have to be in a bubble by

374
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: itself and then act then they can play the games

375
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: on weekends and with no fans and all of that.

376
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what it makes some sense, because you

377
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: probably could sequester a team like the Bills, particularly here

378
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, get them back and forth between a commandeered

379
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: hotel that you have put them there, bring them back

380
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: and forth between the seam, and they just they just

381
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: sequester for the remainder of the season. Now, the players

382
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: are going to fight against it because they want to

383
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, this whole thing is about their families and

384
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, not having to say goodbye to

385
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: their wives and kids for four months. But it does

386
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. But I'm not surprised the

387
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: polls going this way here because what is the only

388
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: thing that we know works right now based on what

389
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: we've seen with the NBA, the NBA bubble, the bubble, Yeah,

390
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: the bubble will league in a bubble. It's working right now.

391
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: And the NHL, which has done a run up to

392
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: their season which starts tonight. I saw Gary Bettman on

393
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: the Today Show this morning and he said, even in

394
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: our ramp ups to daily testing over the last two

395
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: weeks after training camp period, zero positive tests so out

396
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: of more than eight thousand. So the bubbles early returns

397
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: are very positive. And I think sports fans see that,

398
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: and so they look at this poll and say, man,

399
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: the only sure thing I see here is localized team bubbles.

400
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go to a non hotspot state,

401
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: you can go to a safe state, whether it's New

402
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: York or somewhere else, and say, well, we'll just play

403
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: the games there, But where are those players coming from?

404
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: And you know, well, I think What this means is

405
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna put them in a hotel locally. You're not

406
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna go like move the Dolphins to Birmingham. Right, that's

407
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: what the local bubble would be. I'm saying if you're

408
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: looking at some of these other options, if you restrict trap,

409
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: like let's just say, you know the Bills on their schedule,

410
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: they gotta play Phoenix on they gotta play Arizona on

411
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the road, they gotta play Um, who are they playing?

412
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: Playing Vegas? They're playing? Yeah, they have to play in

413
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Is Nevada hot spot? I don't know. I

414
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: gotta check. I haven't checked the map lately. Play Miami.

415
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: They played in Miami week two, right, Molorado was hot

416
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: for a little while. They're playing in Denver. So you know,

417
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: if I think is if Florida is still radioactive by

418
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: by early September, which you say, maybe we should move

419
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: that games to somewhere else. I mean, we got no

420
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: fans in the stands anyway. Do we go to a

421
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: neutral site talk about this in a safer place. I

422
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I think you might see Brownie. I think

423
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: you might see teams traveling day of game, day of game. Well, yeah,

424
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: but how are you doing that? If it's Bills at Raiders,

425
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: that's it's easier to move it to a Yeah, but

426
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: it's easier to move it to a four o'clock start

427
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: then or to a five a primetime get you just say, listen,

428
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders Bills games gonna take place at seven pm

429
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: East Coast time. Okay, my next question, Steve, being a

430
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: former player as you were, how are your legs gonna

431
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: be after a four and a half hour flight? Brownie?

432
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: In the big picture, nobody cares, but you didn't answer

433
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: the question though, how are your legs after a half

434
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: hour flight? I'll tell you they're gonna it's gonna be bad.

435
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad. They're gonna have to figure out ways.

436
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: I mean they'll be They'll be having guys taking downers,

437
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, sleeping pills so they can get some sleep

438
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: on the flight. But they also will have guys take

439
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: an IV so they can stay hydrated on the flight,

440
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: because you know, flying at high altitude dehydrates you badly.

441
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: That's why visiting teams at some of these places have

442
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot of players that you know, cramp up and

443
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: do all that. So they got these guys force feed

444
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: the water on these flights because you don't feel thirsty,

445
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: but you know you're getting dehydrated because of the altitude

446
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: and it. So they'll overcome that somehow, some way, they'll

447
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: have an answer for that. But there is no getting

448
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: around the fact that you're gonna it's like hopping off

449
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: a red eye and you know, going on a run.

450
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's the last thing you want to do.

451
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: But that may be a solution that will keep these

452
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: guys from being exposed to you know, hotel personnel, hotel hygiene,

453
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, hotel restaurants. They'll have you know, buffet eating,

454
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: conference room eating, you know, all of that stuff. All

455
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: that is gonna be, yeah, taken out of the mix

456
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: if they travel day of I think you'll see some

457
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: of that. So here is a little bit of good

458
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: news on the NFL front. So James Palmer, who is

459
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: a Houston Texans beat reporter for a television station down

460
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: there in Houston, he said, over the last three days

461
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: is the Texans have had one hundred percent negative test

462
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: rate according to head coach Bill O'Brien and Tom Pella

463
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Sero from NFL Network follows that up by saying this

464
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: is significant in part because the Texans veterans reported three

465
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: days earlier than most teams. They're playing the kickoff game,

466
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: so they got to start their camp earlier. Thinking all

467
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: along has been that there will be a high number

468
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: of positive tests early and then the ideas to drive

469
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: them down with robust testing, contact tracing, and education. But

470
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: doesn't look like the Texans are even going to need

471
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: to do that because they're all negative right now. Now

472
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: that's always subject to changes, we know, but that's an

473
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: encouraging early start for them. Now. The bills we know,

474
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: kind of send everybody home to do work virtually after

475
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: they got five positive tests. So yeah, it's interesting too.

476
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: Though they got those five positives, Brownie, what do we know?

477
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: Was it the first couple of days when nobody was

478
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: in the building anyway, Well, the question is the positive

479
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: tests that they had, did they get those back from

480
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the day prior. I'm assuming they're turning these around in

481
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, right, So they got the positives yesterday,

482
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: so that probably means those were turned in on Wednesday

483
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: and players have been checking in since Monday, so that's

484
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: essentially day three of players on campus. So yeah, means

485
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: they showed up asymptomatic, got a positive test or a

486
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: negative test, and then got a positive test. So what

487
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: you think is it's probably the guys that traveled in. Yeah,

488
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: that would be because they're coming in in waves this

489
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: first week. I don't think they're allowed to have more

490
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: than twenty players in the building at any one time,

491
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: so I think they're coming in in waves. And yeah,

492
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: I think the odds are probably pretty good that you know,

493
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: a player just arriving from points unknown tested positives. That's

494
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: probably the way it went, and they came in they

495
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: were probably they were asymptomatic before, and who knows if

496
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: they've got any of them have got symptoms or symptoms

497
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: or even like they had, they had to be asymptomatic, Steve,

498
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be allowed in the building, or or even

499
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: maybe if they did, they still had to test him

500
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: and got a positive test anyway, so maybe they didn't

501
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: say anything about the symptoms or anything like that. But

502
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: most of these guys, I mean, we're guessing now, but

503
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: that makes some sense if one of them said, yeah,

504
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: I've been exposed when they tested him in his car

505
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: day one or day two, So I we'll see, we'll

506
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: see all right, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown. We're here till

507
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: three o'clock. Coming up at one o'clock, Darryl Tallely, former

Speaker 1: he's gonna to appear with the rest of the legendary guys.

510
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander are part of that as well. On Sunday

511
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: night at seven pm on all the platforms for the

512
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: Bills and Sabers. Coming up at one o'clock Steve Tasker

513
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown on one Bills Live presented by Kalidah Health.

514
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio five. Teach Hasker, Chris Brown,

515
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: here till three o'clock. Brian. We're still watching Major League

516
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Baseball to see if they can get it under control,

517
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: and we're asking our listeners what their thoughts are and

518
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: about how they think it's gonna roll and how it's

519
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: going to affect the NFL what happens in Major League Baseball.

520
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: We've got some feedback on our Twitter poll. Fifty percent

521
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: of people just say they're gonna put every team in

522
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: its own little bubble. That way, that way. If they're

523
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: all in their own little bubble, then they're not gonna

524
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: They won't. It won't matter when they rub up against

525
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: each other on game day. Well, yeah, based on how

526
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: the NBA bubble is going, that would make a lot

527
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: of sense. Why they didn't consider that earlier, I'm not sure.

528
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they really felt that with the protocols in place,

529
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: they could make this work and would be able to

530
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: count on every player on their roster doing the right

531
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: thing every single day. That might be a big leap

532
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: to expect that, But I guess we'll find out sooner

533
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: rather than later here once we get through this initial

534
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: wave of testing with players coming in and reporting, and

535
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: we get what's positive, who's negative. Once we get past

536
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: that initial set of testing, be interesting to see which

537
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: teams can reduce the number of positive tests and keep

538
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: it down and continue to conduct daily business on the

539
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: practice field. That will be. That will be where the

540
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: rubber truly meets the road with the plan that the

541
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: NFL has in place. Yeah, you get to the point

542
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: where and this is where some of the other people

543
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: in our Twitter poll are kind of landing. They think

544
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna hold games. Eighteen percent of people think they're

545
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna hold games at neutral sights and also eighteen percent

546
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: think they're gonna reschedule games with outbreaks and only reschedule games,

547
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: yeah for teams with major outbreaks, right right. And then

548
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: fourteen percent say they're gonna restrict travel to hot spots,

549
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: to hot spots stays. Do you think they'll start flipping

550
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: home games around, like, since there's no fans in the

551
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: stands for some of these, it won't make any difference.

552
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: So think about Buffalo Miami Week two. That's a road

553
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: game for Buffalo. If if Florida is still radioactive, maybe

554
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: they flip that game exactly, they come up and playing Buffalo.

555
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: It makes some sense, makes some sense, not that it's

556
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: going to be better you know later on. That's an

557
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: easy switch too, because you know, you you make up

558
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: that home game because you're gonna just you just flip

559
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: the second meeting later. I mean you can do that.

560
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: I wonder if they pull the trigger on stuff like that. Um,

561
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, Chargers and Rams. You know they're in a

562
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: bad spot in California. You know, if they have a

563
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: they have an early home game against a division opponent

564
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: like Seattle, do they flip that game because Washington State's

565
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: in a better situation than California is huh they could yeah, yeah,

566
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: And I got this too. Think about this, What if

567
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: all those teams in hotspots states traveled for all their games?

568
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Who cares because there's no fans in the stands any

569
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: of these places anyway. So it's not like the home

570
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: field advantage have fewer teams traveling on you know, fewer games.

571
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: It would be the same teams traveling over and over.

572
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: It puts them at more risk, no question. But you

573
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: don't have other teams coming into those stadiums. I mean,

574
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you'd have a team

575
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: like the Bills playing twelve home games instead of eight

576
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: home you know what I'm saying. Interesting, but I hear you.

577
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean, anything's possible. We should mention that it is

578
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: now official. The Bills have confirmed that John Feliciano underwent

579
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: surgery today to repair a torn pectoral muscle and he

580
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: is out indefinitely. And that is that's a long term recovery,

581
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: especially for the kinds of things that an offensive lineman

582
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: needs to do on the field. They're using that muscle

583
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: on every single play, you know, pushing, pulling, using their arms.

584
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: So that's a tough loss for Buffalo's offensive line for sure,

585
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: not only from a performance perspective, but from a leadership

586
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: perspective too, because John's one of those rock solid guys

587
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: that a lot of people follow. He's kind of a

588
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: fiery player that you know, gets other guys jacked up

589
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: to play at their best, and he's got an attitude.

590
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: He brings an attitude to that offensive line. There's some

591
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: grit and down in dirty type play that Feliciano brings.

592
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: You know, if he can give you a little extra

593
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: at the end of a play, he's going to give

594
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: you a little extra, And I think offensive lines need

595
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: some element of that, you know, in their front five.

596
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: So that's that's a tough one. Yeah. He leads the

597
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: team in willingness to confront the other team outside the

598
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: outside the whistles, And it's nice to have a guy

599
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: who's like, you know, the point of the in that regard,

600
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: somebody always know who's gonna be in there and like,

601
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: never back down under any circumstances. And it's easy to

602
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: jump on board with a guy like that. And he's

603
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: a tough player, and in a league full of tough guys,

604
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: that's something that carries a lot of weight in the

605
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: locker room and on the football field and in competition.

606
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna miss John Feliciano as a leader

607
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: and his presence in the in the room, the offensive

608
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: line room. I think the Bills are worse obviously without

609
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: him than they are with him. I think that's a

610
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: loss for them they're gonna have they have to overcome. Now.

611
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm not that they can't. They got enough guys, They

612
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: got some guys, and they might have to be a

613
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: different type of old line without him, but and maybe

614
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: they'll be better even but they're gonna miss him, I

615
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: think the way they had envisioned their starting five to go. Yeah,

616
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: and as we mentioned earlier, he's not only the starting

617
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: right guard. He was he was the backup center to

618
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: Mitch Moore. So now you've got to make sure you

619
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: have your ducks in a row for who's going to

620
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: back up Morris in the pivot. And in addition to

621
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: filling that right guard spot, now you have candidates. As

622
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: we've mentioned. You know, you've got Evan Bam who they

623
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: signed in free agency. They still have Spencer Long under contract,

624
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: and you have Darryl Williams who came over from Carolina

625
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: who is a giant human. I mean six six, three thirty.

626
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: You drop him in the guard spot. Not too many

627
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: people are moving that guy, so I think got some size. Yeah,

628
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: it's open to an interesting competition up at the right

629
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: guard spot for sure. The crazy thing, Steve is this

630
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: John Feliciano is in the last year of his contract

631
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills. He signed a two year, seven million

632
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: dollar deal a couple of years ago. Now he's in

633
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: the last year of his deal, so you don't know

634
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: where that's headed. I mean, I would like to believe

635
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: that if he does not get on the field this

636
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: year and his contract expires at the end of the year,

637
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: that the Bills will make effort efforts to resign him.

638
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: And I think John really likes it and where this

639
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: team is headed. I think he would like to continue

640
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: his career here in Buffalo. But you know, nothing is

641
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: nothing's ever set in stone in this league, as you know,

642
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting to see where that goes

643
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: if he cannot get back on the field this season.

644
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Tough break for John Feliciana. He was a guy that

645
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: I think endeared himself to his teammates last year and

646
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: really carved out very quickly a niche for himself where

647
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: he helped them with their identity just all of that time.

648
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: He's a good player, a really good player, so already,

649
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: yet another degree of difficulty that's gonna rear its head

650
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: for everybody is regular football injuries that you get when

651
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: you can train. We football a lot about and a

652
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: lot of times, Steve, and you can tell me if

653
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But some of these peck injuries sometimes happen

654
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: because you know, guys are lifting weights. And I know

655
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: that most athletic strength and conditioning coaches don't have guys

656
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: lift heavy anymore for to avoid those kinds of things.

657
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: But back when you were playing, I know guys. He

658
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: still lifts heavy all the time, especially the lineman, just

659
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: to try to bulk up. But we don't know what

660
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: caused it, whether it was something on in practice training

661
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: on his own at Hall, who knows. It doesn't matter

662
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: how it happened, it sucks that it did. He started

663
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: all sixteen games last year for the Buffalo Bills. He

664
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: came to us from the Raiders, who he'd started four

665
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: games for them in the previous year before that, and

666
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: they plugged him in and Sean McDermott loved the attitude

667
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: he brought. He said it from the get go to

668
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: the fans loved it too, and he was a He

669
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: is a tough dude. He's a lot like the guy

670
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna have on a one o'clock Daryl Tallely, just

671
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: a scrappy guy who just was not They just don't

672
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: shy away from confrontation on the football field. And I

673
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: know I've said that a couple of times. It's you know, picture,

674
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: you've got a buddy who is the first guy to

675
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: be the one who shoves somebody right, Always, He's always

676
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: the guy that that crosses the line first. And that's

677
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: the kind of guy John Feliciano is and that and it's, um,

678
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: you just love having those guys in your life. Yeah,

679
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: in the in the fight or flight reaction, he's fight

680
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: all the way, so right, there is no flight, that's

681
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: exactly right. So yeah, that's the way it goes. Should

682
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: we get to the tweet sheet before we break here?

683
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: At least let's do. Let's do the tweet sheet brought

684
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment movers

685
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, And I'll give you one last thing.

686
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of the people say, Hey, we're gonna have

687
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: localized team bubbles, eight nineteen percent say it's going to

688
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: be rescheduled the teams that have outbreaks, eighteen percent say

689
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: hold games at neutral sites. Thirteen percent say they're just

690
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna restrict travel to hotspot states. But on the tweet sheet, Um,

691
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: we've got this kind of response, Um, and I here

692
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: she's back again, Tiffany Daniels. I believe the NFL will

693
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: utilize the league's schedule to adjust to COVID nineteen outbreaks.

694
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I don't see the season starting as scheduled.

695
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: I feel they will use the first two weeks and

696
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: flex those games to the back end of the schedule,

697
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: and we may see multiple bye weeks this season. You know,

698
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: that's another option, multiple bye weeks, stretch the season out

699
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: based on the contingencies you've built into the schedule already.

700
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the way that the NFL would prefer

701
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: to go. But I think without a true roadmap on

702
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: how COVID's going to behave, when you have athletes traveling

703
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: and you don't have a true bubble, you know, it

704
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: may have to be something they re examine between now

705
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: and September thirteenth, you know, the week one slate. So

706
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with Tiffany. I think there are adjustment

707
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: elements to the league schedule. They did that on purpose,

708
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: and they may have to take advantage of any and

709
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: all of those openings that they have in the schedule,

710
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: which includes the three Sundays after the scheduled Super Bowl

711
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: to push back the Super Bowl in Tampa. Right, they've

712
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: given themselves almost a month of slack, well actually probably

713
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: five weeks if you take out everybody's bye week and

714
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: start throwing games in those bas and if you take

715
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: out the Pro Bowl week and eliminate the Pro Bowl,

716
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: that's another week's right, So you've got enough weeks to

717
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: be flexible with the schedule. And Brownie, we know how

718
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: difficult and what a big deal is for them to

719
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: put the schedule together like you know, as fair as

720
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: they can, and all of that. We might see these

721
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: guys jump through fiery hoops this year to get this

722
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: in and reschedule and delay and flip games and switch

723
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: games and push the schedule back and delete this bye

724
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: week and put it back here. I mean, they can

725
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: do all of that and they've got, you'd think, the

726
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: freedom to do it. They may have some venue issues

727
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: for some of the teams, but most of the teams

728
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: have full rain of their venue, so we'll have to

729
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: wait and see. But I think that's Tiffany brings up,

730
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: as she usually does, a pretty good point out the

731
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: flexibility built into the schedule already and taking full advantage

732
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: of it. And hopefully that's all they have to do,

733
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: all right, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown. Coming up at the

734
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: top of the hour, Darryl Talley will come join us

735
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live It. We're all presented by Kalidah

736
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back at

737
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: one of those Lives, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown. We've asked

738
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: you what you think the NFL is going to do

739
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: in relation to how the Major League Baseball has handled

740
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: their COVID outbreak. A couple of teams now affected. When

741
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: one team's affected, as many as four teams are affected

742
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: in baseball, We're gonna asked, We asked you how it

743
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: will affect the way the Buffalo the way the NFL

744
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: does business. And Brown, We've got a lot of feedback

745
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: on the tweet Cheat Yeah, Kyle chimes in with what

746
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: right now is the majority of the respondents. He said,

747
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: I truly hope for NFL bubbles. The NBA and NHL

748
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: are doing amazing currently with no positive tests in the

749
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: last week or more. Also, the NBA forced Lou Williams

750
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: to go into quarantine after visiting the Hot Wings place.

751
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: The bubble, while seemingly crazy, definitely works. Anything goes and

752
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: he's with the majority right now, Steve, and I think

753
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: we know why because the early returns on the bubbles

754
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: have been extremely positive with negative tests, probably extremely positive

755
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: with no positives. Yeah, you're gonna have to You're gonna

756
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: have to get it past the players that whether they

757
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: want to go into that that bubble or not. Um,

758
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a hard sell. I think that's

759
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: probably the biggest rub That's probably the biggest thing that

760
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: would work against the NFL putting that into place. That's

761
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: that's the issue right now. And they had it took

762
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: him a long time to get to this point. The

763
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: baseball never got to this point, right bubbles. So, but

764
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: but if this major League baseball thing goes sideways, Steve,

765
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 1: with infection rate, I wonder if it's going to force

766
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL players to rethink that idea and say, well,

767
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to be away from

768
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: my family for four months or five months, but I

769
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: also don't want to get this thing. So it may

770
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: force a lot of NFL players to rethink maybe taking

771
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: another step and and and that step being a bubble,

772
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: even if it's a localized one in your team's hometown. Right,

773
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: But that kind of bubble is different than the NBA

774
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: bubble where they're staying at a vast resort with all

775
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: kinds of fun stuff to do and all kinds of

776
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: space and everybody, you know, everybody's you know, a large

777
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: bubble that you can do fun stuff around. And you

778
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: do the localized bubble here Buffalo, you're gonna be at

779
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: what the weston Downtown at Harbor Place. NFL player or

780
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: NBA players are doing more phishing down at that Orlando

781
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: resort than they've ever done before. So I want my son.

782
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: He follows a lot of NBA players on Instagram, and

783
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: he and I do a good bit of fishing this

784
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: time a year, and he's showing me every day. Now, Hey,

785
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: look these guys are fishing now too. Hey, look it's

786
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard from the Trailblazers. He's never fished before. He's

787
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: going with one of his teammates. It's it's hilarious, like

788
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: keep sea or what. Well they're they're in the bubble.

789
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: They're on the on the Orlando Complex, so that you

790
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: know how they have in Disney and all those areas,

791
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: they ponds and you know like okay, you know a

792
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: man made but they're stocked with fish. So but I

793
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: just thought that they would, if you know, just get

794
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: they bring charter boats in there, disinfect them and use

795
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: them strictly for the bubble. I mean, they've got all

796
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: kinds of other stuff going on, and they take them

797
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: out on the ocean. They're just fishing on property, cast

798
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: them from the shoreline. Yeah, there's all kinds of there's

799
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of fresh water fishing, and it's all built

800
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: largely on swampland so oh yeah, I think of water

801
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: down there to choose from. So yeah, that's that's what

802
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: they're doing to keep themselves occupied. I heard um that

803
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: ESPN NBA reporter Rachel Nichols, she was on talking about

804
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: how she's got the this giant puzzle on her hotel

805
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: room table to keep herself busy because she's apparently awful

806
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: at puzzles, so she knows she'll kill time that way.

807
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: So it's not all rainbows and butterflies in the bubble.

808
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: You can get bored pretty easy because there's a limited

809
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: number of things to do, for sure. Also on the

810
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Wandering, Jackie says, I feel like we

811
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: need the quote unquote other option to vote. I vote

812
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: postpone or cancel games. Hope that doesn't happen, but I'm

813
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: feeling pretty apprehensive. Local bubbles plus a fourteen game schedule

814
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: would be cool to put the AFC East and AFC

815
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: West together in one bubble, for example, and play each

816
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: team twice in a local bubble with two usable stadiums.

817
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: It's a pretty complex idea there that seems hard to play.

818
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, so he's saying, what he just divide the

819
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: league into four different bubbles of eight teams each and

820
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: have him play each other twice and around her bobin right,

821
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: So the question is where do you go after the

822
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: regular season? Are you gonna set up playoff bubbles? I

823
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: guess you would. I guess that would be the next step. Well,

824
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: you wouldn't either the playoff bubble NFC playoff bubble. But

825
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: now you're talking fourteen teams in those two playoff bubbles conceivably,

826
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: or are you still doing smaller scale bubbles. That's a

827
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: lot of work. I mean, that's a lot. That's a

828
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: heavy lift, would be brambled together. Yeah, you know, especially

829
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: not knowing which teams are in the playoff bubble yet,

830
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: like who qualifies who's clinched? You know, here could Here's

831
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: what you do is then you take all the testing

832
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: data and say the teams that had the best protocols

833
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: or the teams that had the least amount of positive

834
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: test during m Yeah. I don't know how you do it, Steve,

835
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I don't know. That's that's a heavy lift, dude.

836
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: Plus you gotta do think it's goes with that with

837
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: the team still play stay locally, right, the Bills will

838
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: still be here. They just play eighteen intensive right. I

839
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: just don't know if there's you gotta do a whole

840
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: button see and if you if you decide to go

841
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: that way, what's the ramp up period? Can you get

842
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: it set up in time? Do you push the season

843
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: back two weeks as as Jack or in a couple

844
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: of other other respondents have indicated to buy you the

845
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: time to set that up. How much research can you

846
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: do on it to determine whether it's a more effective

847
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: option than what you're doing right now. It's a lot

848
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: of layers to that right right. Also got another option

849
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: from Scott Miller. He says the NFL can put each

850
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: team in a bubble away from family in public for

851
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, it'll be a hardship for everyone involved,

852
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: but if you want to get in a season and

853
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: keep everyone safe, it's the way to go. If a

854
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: player or an employee breaks the bubble, shut them down

855
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: for fourteen days. Yeah, quarantine and for fourteen days. And yeah,

856
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: it's true you can do that, and it would be

857
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: a way to do it if but you got to

858
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: get these players to agree to it, and there's some

859
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: of them. You got thirty three guys op Now you

860
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: might have three hundred and thirty three guys opting out

861
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: if that's the case. Yeah, you really don't think there'll

862
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of momentum on the player's side for

863
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: a bubble at all, in any in any way, shape

864
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: or form. No, I don't think local, regional National, which

865
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: really says a lot about the confidence we should have

866
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: in them not staying sequestered from the rest of the population.

867
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: Once they leave the building, it's like they're not going

868
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: to yeah you know, I mean that it's gonna come

869
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: down to that. They're gonna have to have the ability

870
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: not to break the protocols when they leave. They're the

871
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: facilities tempt to facilities, And I don't know if you're

872
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it, Brownie. It's gonna be hard,

873
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: really hard, but it might have. It's like we always say,

874
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: there's always one yea and every groups as good as

875
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: good a group as you think you've got, there's always

905
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: one of the positive tests that the Bills had yesterday,

906
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: which prompted them to essentially close up shop on campus

907
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: and send players home to conduct their meetings virtually online. Yeah,

908

Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna give Darrel a couple of minutes

909
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: before we've cut over to him. We've been also talking

910
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: about these different sports and we've always said that the NFL,

911
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: and it's been widely reported and observed, that they're gonna

912
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: benefit from the timing of their season. And we thought

913
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: this all started back in March, if you can believe it,

914
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: and we're still off the air radio only that the

915
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: NFL would benefit from watching other leagues try and hit

916
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: the pause button and then resume their seasons, stop their seasons,

917
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: or get their seasons started. NHL, NBA, and Major League

918
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: Baseball have all made the attempt, the NFL, NBA to

919
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: some pretty good success so far. The NHL, so far,

920
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: it looks like they're gonna get it in, get started

921
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: at least before they get hit with a with an outbreak,

922
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: and of course Major League Baseball is kind of struggling

923
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: and how those teams handle it, and the difference between

924
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: the three sports or the four sports if you include

925
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: football in that is going to make a difference in

926
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: how this is managed. Once they get a positive test. Yeah,

927
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: we don't know which way this is going to go.

928
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: Anything's possible, right, I mean, we've learned that the hard

929
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: way with COVID from all the way back in March

930
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: to now, I think we've kind of seen ways that

931
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: you can. I mean New York State did it. They

932
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: flattened the curve. A couple other states did it as well, Connecticut,

933
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: New Jersey, although I did you see that New Jersey

934
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: seeing some minor spikes here and there in different regions

935
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: of their state, and they're attributing it to people partying

936
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: in large gatherings. And right again, this is where we

937
00:52:53,800 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: discuss convincing your entire roster to do the right thing

938
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: every single day, to not only protect yourself but your teammates. Right,

939
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Siren Neil's a perfect situation. Guys completely asymptomatic

940
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: and yet test positive. Now, it's not his fault. He

941
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: doesn't know that he's positive, but right who knows who

942
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: he comes into contact with. And now it goes from

943
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: there and it's like, you know, it's like an amiba.

944
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: It's just strip. It's going out and gobbling up other

945
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: people and making them test positive. And that's why he

946
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: said it. That's why you wear your mask. You don't

947
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: even know you've got it, and you're out walking around

948
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: spreading it like a grass seeds spreader. You know. No,

949
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: So we asked our our listeners, Brownie, how do you

950
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: think what happens in the Major league in Major League

951
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: Baseball and COVID nineteen will impact the way the NFL

952
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: conducts their season. Fifty percent of you think they're gonna

953
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: localize the team bubbles. They're gonna they're gonna shut the

954
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: windows and the doors. They're gonna have the players sequester

955
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: in hotels and not go outside the bubble. And then

956
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: the one week, the one game a week they'll play

957
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: will be the only time they ever do anything other

958
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: and they'll be interacting with another team that's in the

959
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 1: exact same kind of bubble. Fifty percent of our respondents

960
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. Gonna happen twenty percent of us

961
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna reschedule the games. They're gonna reschedule the

962
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 1: games once the team gets an outbreak. Sixteen percent say

963
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna hold games at neutral sights, and fourteen percent

964
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: say they're gonna restrict travel to the hot spots states.

965
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: So a lot of wide ranging opinions about it. But

966
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: right now, let's take a call from our good friend

967

00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, Daryl? You're okay during the during the

977
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 1: virus is going around. I know you're in Florida. How's

978
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: it going down there? It's going But we're in a

979
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: hot spot and you're staying in the house you're in

980
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: the house all the time, and the only time you

981
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: can go out is to go get food and come

982
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: back and get back in the house. So you if

983
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to get you don't want to get COVID,

984
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,959
Speaker 1: stay in the house. And that's about what we're doing.

985
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: And how Daryl are you keeping yourself from getting a

986
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: little stir crazy? Are you climbing up the walls or

987
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: I am climbing the walls because I'm one of those

988
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: guys that can't be in that cubicle. It drives me crazy. Um,

989
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,959
Speaker 1: the one good thing is doing the work for the NFL,

990
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: just you only calling guys on the phone, getting to

991
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: talk to them, seeing how everybody else is making out

992
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: during this pandemic and stuff like that. But that's the

993
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: one thing that helps me out. I'm just going outside

994
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: and walking because I couldn't imagine guys being stuck in

995
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: sitting and not being able to get out of the house.

996
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: And you wear a mask everywhere you go or what Yes, yes,

997
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: I got a mask. Both trust me, My wife, son

998
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: and me go out in the house out of a mask.

999
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean a danger zone. She's like, you need mask.

1000
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: I got disinfected spring in the car. It's almost like

1001
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: when I come in the house, Jeanine was to spring

1002
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: me down with lysol after being outside for five minutes.

1003
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 1: So listen, Daryl, h the latest kind of thing that's

1004
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: that kind of caught the eye of a lot of

1005
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 1: people that you know, watch the NFL, cover the NFL

1006
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: or fans of the NFL. Are these player opt outs?

1007
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: We know it was an option that the players had

1008
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: as they enter this most unusual of NFL seasons, and

1009
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: we've seen more than thirty players choose to opt out.

1010
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: My question to you is, if you can kind of

1011
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: put yourself in their shoes and you were playing, now,

1012
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: how how strongly would you consider opting out. I would

1013
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: have to consider it because for the simple reason, my

1014
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: youngest daughter had a heart murmur, and she had some

1015
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: other difficulties where she was young, and I wouldn't know

1016
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: whether or not that would have affected her, that would

1017
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: affect her and me going out having a chance to

1018
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: becoming affected. So yes, I would have to seriously consider it.

1019
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: And I never thought i'd hear myself say that I

1020
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: would consider stop not playing, but to save my daughter's life, yes,

1021
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: I would take the risk out of the play. Yes,

1022
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: I would do that for my kids. Yes, and so

1023
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: you would probably have no problem at all if teammates

1024
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: opted out, if they had good reason or a reason

1025
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: similar to years, or even maybe no reason at all.

1026
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: They just said, you know what, I don't want any

1027
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: part of it, and sometimes might not want any part

1028
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: of it. I understand that that's a page individual. I

1029
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: get that, but you know it's it's playing Russ to

1030
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: life and death. I mean life and best think about it.

1031
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: Usually a lot of folks to get this thing. When

1032
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: it gets so bad, it attacks to us in the

1033
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: body and then it just shuts down. So I liked life.

1034
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: I really love football, but I liked life a little

1035
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: more so. Darrel. You look at this and everybody's got

1036
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: their theories as to how things will play out. We're

1037
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: in the very early stages of the NFL trying to

1038
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: get up and running. We know they've already wiped out

1039
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: the preseason to eliminate that exposure risk. I think a

1040
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are confident that the season will start.

1041
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: But with what you've seen in the owned state in

1042
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: which you reside and how serious this can be, how

1043
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: do you think this NFL season plays out? I think

1044
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: it starts. I think they play it. But my thing

1045
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: is this, you better remember we played the most We

1046
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: played the most violent and most contact sport there is

1047
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, the only thing maybe halfway as

1048
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: close as hockey or basketball, because we're constantly banging bodies,

1049
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: so we're constantly exchanging body fluids. So yeah, you gotta

1050
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: get a larger chance playing football than I think a

1051
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,479
Speaker 1: lot of other sports. When you came in the league

1052
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: with with the Buffalo Bills, they were not a very

1053
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: good football team, and you kind of ran the whole

1054
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: rainbow of going to from not very good to pretty

1055
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: good to really good. What was it like in the

1056
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: locker room preparing for a season knowing you you were,

1057
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: you had zero expectations for being any good and then

1058
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: at the other end of the spectrum being a team

1059
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: that U is maybe a favorite to go to the

1060
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? How how is that different for a team

1061
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: going into a season, No, going from the hunter to

1062
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: the hunted. That's I never really looked at it that way, Steve.

1063
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I always figure I was always being a hunting.

1064
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was the hunter. I've always thought

1065
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: everybody was out to get us. I thought they were

1066
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: trying to beat me and my fifty four guys and

1067
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: my coaching staff. That's what I thought. I thought they

1068
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: were out to get us all the time. So my

1069
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: thing was, we're gonna get them first. We're gonna get

1070
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: them and make them pay before they make us pay,

1071
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: because we know if we make them pay, they have

1072
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: a higher price to pay than what we would have

1073
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: to pay. And go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't

1074
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: mean to cut you off, Darrell. I was going to

1075
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: try to follow that up by saying, by trying to

1076
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: put it a different way, because you know, this Bill's team,

1077
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: they're experiencing success. Now, you know ten and six last year,

1078
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs. There are high expectations for

1079
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: them this season obviously, So what about the process of

1080
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: learning how to handle success? What can you recall from

1081
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you guys turned the corner and how

1082
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: you handled success. I know there were some bumps in

1083
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the road in eighty nine, but what about that process

1084
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: and what are the Bills this year facing? You know,

1085
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: in terms of handling success. Okay, in terms of handling success,

1086
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: you got to rely on your team leaders and your

1087
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: guys are there to show guys the way forward. Guys

1088
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: have got to plot a way out to do it,

1089
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: and they've got to be willing to do it with

1090
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: each other, because if you really look at the team,

1091
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: then they have a very good defense, they have an

1092
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: offense is now coming around, and their special teams are

1093
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: where they should be right now. They could really scare

1094
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I think a lot of

1095
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: people are scared because the only team, in my opinion,

1096
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: that's got a chance to beat them is Kansas City.

1097
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: And that's when you look at it, that's strictly because

1098
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: of the guy behind the quarterback, yeah, in the center.

1099
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: As far as defenses, they rank just as high as

1100
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: they do. I mean, Buffalo's got a top five defense,

1101
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: top ten defense. They've got an offense that's in the

1102
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: upper arcelon of the league, and right now the specialties

1103
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: have been playing exceptionally well. So I think the Bills

1104
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: are set up, set up to win. The only thing

1105
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: they have to do is just keep it in house,

1106
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: keep it amongst themselves, believe in each other, and trust

1107
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: each other. That's what I would tell them. Believe each

1108
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: other and trust each other, because that was the biggest

1109
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: thing we did to each other. We trusted each other

1110
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: and we believed each other. And as it turned out, yeah,

1111
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: we argued, but we argued in a good way to

1112
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: get everything out into the floor so everything could be discussed.

1113
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: And as to the way it is today, there is

1114
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: a conversation we can't with anybody that we played with

1115
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: because we opened up all of the doors. I mean,

1116
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: if you didn't like that, somebody did you total And

1117
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: by having that kind of communication it doesn't do any

1118
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: too but I think it creates more harmony because now

1119
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: you know where everybody stands, you know what everybody wants

1120
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: to do. Sean McDermot took over his head coach and

1121
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: he talked a lot about the culture that he was

1122
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: going to instill in the Buffalo Bills, and and and

1123
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people outside of football, outside

1124
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: of sports kind of pooh pooh that culture, that work

1125
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: that workplace. And you've alluded to it. How special that

1126
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: crew was in the nineties. Um, what do you think

1127
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 1: is what's let's talk about the chicken in the egg?

1128
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Is it culture that creates success or does because that

1129
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: team started to win, did that culture come about? How

1130
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: do you how do you strike that balance? Where do

1131
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: you think it falls and how important you think culture is.

1132
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I think coach is very, very very important most. It's

1133
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: more important than a lot of a lot of things

1134
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, because you can see people

1135
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: that can put it together for a year and then

1136
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it bows up because they didn't have a good culture

1137
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: or a good base behind them. Anytime you put something

1138
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: together and it can last for more than two years,

1139
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: three years, then now you've got a culture that's going

1140
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: and growing. People are starting to believe and do the

1141
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: things that you say. So with that being said, that's

1142
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: what you have to do. You have to have You

1143
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: have to find leader or amongst your football players, leaders

1144
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: that you can trust, and leaders that will do the

1145
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: right thing at the right time, and guys that are

1146
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: just not willing to let guys quit on it. You

1147
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: can't let anybody quit on you because if you do that,

1148
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: then once one person quits the first time, it's easier

1149
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: for them to do it the second time. So as

1150
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: long as you don't make that a habit and let

1151
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: them get into that, you're good. And you're just gonna

1152
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: have to have a few like like I said, you've

1153
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: got to have a few assholes like add and I

1154
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: are squad. That's just gonna tell you whether the way

1155
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: it is, whether you like it or not. Here comes

1156
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: right between the eyes. Now it's a few what you

1157
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: choose to do with all right, fair enough, we're talking

1158
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: to Bill as well favorite Daryl Tally, Uh, Darrel. I

1159
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: guess we should get into one of the main reasons

1160
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: we're having you on in the first place, and that's

1161
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: because of your participation in the Captain Circle series that

1162
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: we're running U and you're part of the final installment

1163
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: of it. First of all, what was it like to

1164
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: be and granted you know you're on a zoom call

1165
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: doing this, but what was it like being amongst other

1166
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, leadership type role players, uh, you know, for

1167
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: the Sabers and Bills, respectively. What was that like just

1168
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: being all in the same virtual room with them? Jake

1169
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: very good. I mean, I had I had met Danny

1170
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: Garre out some we we'd metted a bunch of golf

1171
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: terms and stuff like that, so I had known who

1172
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: he was who We had known each other for years

1173
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: and we lived in the same city. I lived in

1174
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo when I was there, so we got to meet

1175
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: each other during the all seasons and stuff. Like that,

1176
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: so we met during different tournaments. I think it's a

1177
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: very very good thing to get both sides together because

1178
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: I think by doing that, you get to give the

1179
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: population of Buffalo a better or a little more well

1180
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: rounded of a atmosphere. Because now you can see your

1181
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: professional athletes together in one place, doing something together for

1182
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: common cause. That's huge. I think they're all got one

1183
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: last question for it. It's about the probability or the

1184
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: likelihood of NFL teams being able to keep their young

1185
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: players inside indoors during a football season so they can

1186
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: stay virus free. And I know that during during the

1187
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: time that you and I play, Oh we didn't, We

1188
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: didn't have to stay indoors. How likely is it that

1189
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: these young players are going to be able to have

1190
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: the discipline when they've got money in their pocket for

1191
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the first time, when they're famous, maybe for the first time,

1192
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: when they're part of something really special for the first time.

1193
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: How difficult is it going to be to keep the

1194
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: lid on these guys. That's going to be really really hard.

1195
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna take. That's gonna take some really good will

1196
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: power on some young guys. Parts Um, it's going to

1197
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: take Coach McDermott having his say and saying, look, guys,

1198
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: we know we're young. We know we're full of piston. Bennegar.

1199
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: We all know that because most of us have been there,

1200
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: and you know what that age is like. And you

1201
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: just have to try and get them to understand because

1202
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: that It was hard at the beginning trying to get

1203
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: my oldest daughter to understand today, this Colona virus is

1204
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: for real. When she first moved back, when Alex first

1205
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: moved back from our DC, she him believing. I was like, no, sweetheart,

1206
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: you got to listen up, look at this. And I

1207
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: had to make her sit down and look at what

1208
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: was going on. So that's what I think they got

1209
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: to do. Somebody's got to sit him around and say, look,

1210
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: here's what's going on. This is where you need to

1211
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: be going, this is how we're going to get there.

1212
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: If coaching Dumba's got a roadmap for him, I had

1213
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: to hand him a roadmap, teach a few how to

1214
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: read the map and hang on tight. Something tells me

1215
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: that if Daryl was dropped into that locker room like

1216
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: fast forward and he's still a player in twenty twenty,

1217
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: there's just something that tells me. He's grabbing somebody by

1218
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: a T shirt, a young rookie and just saying him

1219
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,799
Speaker 1: for grabbing him and pulling him nose to nose and say,

1220
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: don't mess with my money. Stay inside when you go home,

1221
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: because that's what vets are thinking, like, we want to

1222
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: play games. Don't mess with my money right now because

1223
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: if they canceled the season, I'm out of check. So well.

1224
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's those are the facts. That's messing with

1225
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: damn money. That's messing with damn money, not just their

1226
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: own money. Everybody else's yeah, that's your livelihood. What are

1227
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: you doing? We have to take it right. I think

1228
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: that's the I think it's the real challenge that faces

1229
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: all the NFL is keeping the lid on it when

1230
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: they I think they'll be okay when they're in the building, Darrell,

1231
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: And you know how it's a different atmosphere when you're

1232
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: at working and everybody's kind of on the same page.

1233
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: It's when you don't have your teammates around you telling

1234
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: you to do the right thing all the time every

1235
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: day that you get in trouble. And that's that's where

1236
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: the NFL may run into some issues. And that's why

1237
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: it helped us to go and when we did go out,

1238
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: we went out in groups and that kept us out

1239
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: of a lot of the flight. So you use each

1240
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: other to talk to each other to keep each other

1241
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: from going out. Find something to do, play cards, play

1242
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: bego and I know they an't play the band hill

1243
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: but I don't know, but I would say, get some

1244
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: video games in there, So get you guys something to

1245
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: keep them occupied, because I can understand the guy's being ants. Yeah. Well, Daryl,

1273
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: you want to do a little lunch. I'm not opposed

1274
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: to some lunch. Yeah, we might do that real quick,

1275
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: because you know we've got we do have some news

1276
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: breaking as well. Akim King once you tell him what's

1277
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: going on with Akiem King. Yeah, so this is NFL

1278
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,839
Speaker 1: Networks Tom Pella Sero's report here, but he's saying former

1279
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks cornerback at Kim King is in Buffalo to take

1280
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: a physical with the Bills. According to a source. You know,

1281
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's played in twenty nine games over

1282
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: the past two seasons in Seattle. Not a starter, but

1283
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: it looks, at least on the surface according to this report,

1284
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: that the Bills are looking for, you know, some more

1285
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: experience in their secondary, even if it's in a backup

1286
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: or reserve capacity. So we'll have to keep our ear

1287
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: to the ground and see where that might go. Team

1288
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: came four starts over the last two years with the Seahawks,

1289
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: so he's got some and he's probably got some experience

1290
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: in big games as well. He's been part of that franchise,

1291
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: has been going to the playoffs, and the Bills probably

1292
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: liked the scheme that he was running in as well.

1293
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Probably see a skill set. Yeah, and it's played on

1294
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 1: special teams the last couple of years too, because he

1295
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: was in all sixteen games just about the last couple

1296
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: of seasons, but he wasn't a starter, So he's either

1297
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: a sub package guy and probably played on special teams

1298
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: as well, know when he was active. All right, so

1299
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: now let's have a little late lunch. What do you think? Yeah,

1300
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm up for it. Man. All right, here we go.

1301
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: What's for instance, column A, column B. You don't have

1302
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: to like either one of them, and you gotta have lunch.

1303
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta choose one of the two, or you

1304
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: might like both of them. You can still only have one.

1305
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: Here we go. The bigger loss for the Bills Star

1306
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Lotulele or John Feliciano. Yeah, it's it's Feliciano for me.

1307
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's playing the whole game for you. And

1308
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: not only that, he has the position flexibility and was

1309
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: your backup center, so losing him should hurt. I'm not

1310
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: saying the Bills don't have guys to step in capably

1311
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: and fill the role. But he was kind of the

1312
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: emotional leader on that offensive line. If Mitch Morris was

1313
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of like the the general um, John Feliciano was

1314
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: was the was the hardcore grunt that other guys like

1315
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: following into a fight. So yeah, they'll they'll miss him,

1316
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: and that nothing against Star, but you know, Star, for

1317
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, was a two down player

1318
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 1: Feliciano's on the field start to finish, So right, yeah,

1319
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: both of both of them, but it's a tribute to

1320
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean. I think they've got great depth of both

1321
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: those spots, certainly the offensive line. They brought in a

1322
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: lot of guys to strengthen and bolster their depth. Star

1323
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: low To Lae was also one of those guys that

1324
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: was a stalwart player. Redid his contract this year, but

1325
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: they brought in some depth and the rotational guys at

1326
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 1: his spot as well. So both those guys, the team

1327
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: hates to lose them because, let's face it, they Star

1328
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: loo Lee was the biggest paying paid free agent, highest

1329
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: paid free agent that Brandon being brought in, and Sean

1330
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: McDermott brought in when he was brought here to Buffalo

1331
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: from Carolina. John Feliciano was one of their favorite guys

1332
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: because of his attitude. So both those guys are a loss,

1333
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: but for different reasons. But because of the depth in

1334
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: that both their spots, maybe maybe the team will be

1335
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: able to overcome those all right, Item number two on

1336
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,759
Speaker 1: the menu, who's the bigger contender for the NFC AFC

1337
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: North title in place of the Ravens is that the

1338
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Steelers or the Browns who's going to take over for

1339
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the AFC North. I would probably pick

1340
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: neither because I think the Ravens will win that division.

1341
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're telling me I got to

1342
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: pick the Browns or the Steelers, I'm going with the Steelers,

1343
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: and I'm doing it purely based on franchise stability. That's

1344
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm picking the Steelers over the Browns.

1345
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: The Browns, you could argue have more talent on their

1346
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 1: roster than the Steelers. But right now, the Steelers. You

1347
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: know what went by the board last year. You know

1348
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: all the focus was on Roethlisberger being out. Steelers had

1349
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: a top five defense last year. I mean, they're the

1350
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: reason they were still in the playoff hunt at the

1351
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: end of the season with Duck Hodges as their quarterback.

1352
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: It was because of their defense. And they played the

1353
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Bills tough in that seventeen ten victory for Buffalo last

1354
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,599
Speaker 1: year in Week fifteen or six to week fifteen. So

1355
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm going Steelers here. You have the you have the

1356
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: more stable franchise, Roethlisberger's back, you have a top five defense,

1357
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and you have continuity, the benefit of continuity there once again,

1358
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: the Browns are onto a new head coach, new schemes,

1359
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: no time on the practice field. Through this pandemic of

1360
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 1: an offseason. I think the Browns are gonna need some

1361
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: time to find their footing. And so to me, that

1362
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: doesn't put them in a position to contend for the

1363
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: division title. You said a Brownie stability. At least give

1364
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: me an idea. Since twenty fourteen. December of twenty fourteen,

1365
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: here's their starting quarterbacks has been Baker Mayfield, Tyrod Taylor,

Speaker 1: Deshaun Keiser, Kevin Hogan, Cody Kessler, Robert Griffin the third,

1367
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, Austin Davis, Connorshaw, and Johnny Manzil. That's the

1368
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: guys that have been taken snaps since twenty fourteen. They're

1369
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: head coaches. Their head coaches since December fourteenth, twenty fourteen,

1370
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, Freddie Kitchens, Greg Williams, Hugh Jackson, Mike Petton.

1371
01:16:56,160 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Those are the head coaches. The general managers since December fourteen,

1372
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen Andrew Barry, John Dorsey, Sashi Brown, and

1373
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 1: Ray Farmer. The longest they are two thousand one hundred

1374
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: and ten days. That is since two thousand fourteen. They're

1375
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: two thousand days, twenty one hundred days away from an

1376
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: all time from a five hundred record. That's not over

1377
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: five hundred all time. They've got some issues and it's

1378
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: all stability. You're right. The turnover has been has been unbelievable.

1379
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: They've been a revolving door. It really has at every level,

1380
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: at every level. Yeah, the Browns are the seventh team

1381
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: in National Football League history to go two thousand days

1382
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: without an over five hundred record. December fourteenth, two thousand, well,

1383
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: two thousand, December fourteenth, two thousand and fourteen, that's the

1384
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: day on mark was the last day that the Browns

1385
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: had a winning record seven and six, And since that

1386
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,480
Speaker 1: fateful day, the Browns have gone through ten different starting quarterbacks,

1387
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: five different head coaches, four from GMS, and never had

1388
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: a winning record at any point in their season. The

1389
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: Bills went from what two thousand and four, nine and

1390
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: seven to Marons nine and seven season? What was that

1391
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, So maybe they did it. Yeah, well it's

1392
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: less than seven years. Oh no, you're missing now, this

1393
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: is a winning record at any point in their season. Oh,

1394
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: during the as the regular seasons unfolding, they were two

1395
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: and one six. They were seven and six in week

1396
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,640
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen of that season. Since then, they have

1397
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: been at or below five hundred every single week of

1398
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: their existence. Oof. Oof is right. Oof with a capital oh.

1399
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: Oof is right. That's a bad list. That is something else.

1400
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm reading that right. That's the research that

1401
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: I got, and I'm reading it right. That is yeah,

1402
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: that's special. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll take the Steelers over

1403
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: the Browns and yeah, well alright, last last item on

1404
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: the men. You got time for one or two more?

1405
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: Who's the better? Who's the better viewer? For the Who's

1406
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: better for people who watched the games on TV? Monday Night?

1407
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Football is gonna have a three man booth. It's gonna

1408
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: be Steve Levy as the play by play announcer, Lewis

1409
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Riddick and Brian Greasy You're gonna be the two commentators

1410
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: in the booth. What do you like as a viewer?

1411
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,759
Speaker 1: Better a two man booth or a three man booth?

1412
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: I prefer to man. And the only reason I say

1413
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: that is I think it goes back to the old saying,

1414
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, too many cooks in the kitchen. I think

1415
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: he increased the risk is stepping on one another. When

1416
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: you have three guys there instead of just two, I

1417
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,600
Speaker 1: think it's easier to play one guy off another, or

1418
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 1: one I should say, one broadcast or off another. I

1419
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: don't want to make any gender bias there. When you

1420
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: have three people in the booth, it's just it makes

1421
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: it more of a juggling act. I think. I'm not

1422
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: saying it can't be done, but I just think it's

1423
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: it's easier to listen to when it's just two people

1424
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 1: instead of three. That's just my personal preference. Other people

1425
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: may disagree. Oh, it's all subjective. Yeah, for me, it'd

1426
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,799
Speaker 1: be fine if it was just Levy and Riddick. Just

1427
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: just do that. And how about Brian Greasy coming out

1428
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: of the woodwork. Where the heck has he been here?

1429
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean he has, I haven't seen him. He has

1430
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: not been visible. And shoot, almost eight years, I can't

1431
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: remember the last time I saw that guy doing a

1432
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: game somewhere right, And here's my point, I like the

1433
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: three man broadcast team better because you've got two guy.

1434
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: Usually you've got two analysts, guys who have played the

1435
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 1: game or coached the game, and I think it's more

1436
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 1: fun when you get those guys to disagree about what's

1437
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 1: going on the field, when you get a debate going,

1438
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: much like you and me when we start to you know,

1439
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: we have different opinions about stuff that comes down the

1440
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: pike on the NFL, it's always more interesting to get

1441
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 1: both sides of the issue, and I think it's more fun.

1442
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: It's harder for a play by a play guy to

1443
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: do it, because a play by play guys there to

1444
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: direct traffic, not not drive the car in the traffic.

1445
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 1: So I think when you have two guys on and

1446
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: I go back way back, the best football broadcast booth

1447
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: was always with Howard Cosell, Don Meredith and Frank Gifford,

1448
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: and the three of those guys who were personal with

1449
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: each other on the broadcast. It brought the viewers into

1450
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: a friendship that was fun to watch, and sometimes you

1451
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 1: know the controversy and the antagonism that was between them

1452
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: as well. I think it's much more fun when you

1453
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: get into the personal relationships. But those three guys, you

1454
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: can see them in their broadcast, I think it's I

1455
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: think that's more fun for the So I agree with

1456
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: that when you're talking about that trio, I don't know

1457
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: that they've ever recaptured that in a three person booths

1458
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: since I don't think they've ever given it. They don't

1459
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: think they've ever really given it a real effort to

1460
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: do that. I mean they did with the with the

1461
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,759
Speaker 1: comedian and Dan Fouts, Dennis Miller, Dennis Miller and Dan Fouts,

1462
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: but but that's not You're driving at a different kind

1463
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: of entertainment as soon as you bring a comedian into

1464
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the booth, right, And I get it, But I think

1465
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: if you can do it right, no question, it's hard

1466
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: to do and you got to have the right combination

1467
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: of guys to do it. But I think that the

1468
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: three man, if it's done well, is a better is

1469
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: a better listen. So all right, we've disagree on that one.

1470
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: All right, last one? Yeah, that's it. Now, I'll go

1471
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: one more. Who signs first? Deshaun Watson or Dak Prescott

1472
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texans signed to Shaun or Dak Prescott signs with

1473
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: Dallas first? Yeah, I mean, at first, blush, I would

1474
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: say Deshaun Watson. But I have no faith in Bill O'Brien.

1475
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't think a whole

1476
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: lot of him as a coach, and I think even

1477
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: less of him as a GM. And here's a guy

1478
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: that clearly rubbed DeAndre Hopkins the wrong way. I'm not

1479
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: saying Deshaun Watson's not going to stay in Houston, but

1480
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 1: I think that's that's lining up to be very contentious

1481
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: and I don't have a whole lot of faith. Jerry

1482
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: Jones drives a hard bargain, but at the end of

1483
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 1: the day, he knows what makes sense for his franchise

1484
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: and as willing to shell out money to do it.

1485
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: So even as bad as things went this year and

1486
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 1: as bad as Dallas botched it this offseason with dak

1487
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I think they get it done

1488
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: before Bill O'Brien does. I would agree with that. I

1489
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: would agree with that. Jerry's Jerry's a get or done

1490
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of guy, and when it comes time to doing it,

1491
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it done. So that was what's for lunch.

1492
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, good stuff. We're gonna be back with more.

1493
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 1: A short segment before the top of the hour two

1495

Speaker 1: hundreds of teammates that I had over the course of

1496
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: my NFL career, and I'm gonna try and guess which

1497
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: one he's talking about. That's coming up on One Bill's Live,

1501
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: you think the Major League Baseball problems have been with

1502
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,679
Speaker 1: COVID and how those will react, How the NFL will

1503
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: react to those problems that Major League Baseball is having,

1504
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: How will it affect the NFL. Forty seven percent of

1505
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna localize each team in a bubble,

1506

Speaker 1: twenty two percent of you think they're gonna reschedule games

1507
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: and move the schedule around when teams get stuck with outbreaks,

1508
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: sixteen percent of you think they're gonna hold games at

1509
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: other sites other than their NFL facilities, and fourteen percent

1510
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 1: of you say they're just going to restrict the travel

1513
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: the official Equipment Movers of the Buffalo bills and tweet

1514
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: She's got one interesting on it. Scott eighteen sixty one.

1515
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Scott says, it doesn't even make sense that you're playing

1516
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: you guys. Quote sports in general can't hold out a

1517
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 1: few months until this thing is all but over. I

1518
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,639
Speaker 1: love sports, and I can do without it for now.

1519
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: Get your priorities straight, Matt from Scott Brownie. YEA, though

1520
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: the priority is money revenue, that's the priority. And I'd

1521
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: hate to say this, I'm not convinced we're we're gonna

1522
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: be done with this in a few months by any stretch.

1523
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I heard doctor Fauci say that people aren't

1524
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: going to be walking around without masks until maybe the

1525
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: end of next year. Like you want to talk about

1526
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: truly getting back to a normal way of life. He

1527
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: was saying, probably not until the end of next year.

1528
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 1: So it's just we're not We're not getting free and

1529
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: clear of this in a few months, certainly not with

1530
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: the way a lot of states in our country are

1531
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: performing in trying to flatten any kind of curve. We

1532
01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:00,080
Speaker 1: got nothing but spikes in about thirty one states. So

1533
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,600
Speaker 1: so you think we're gonna be free and clear this

1534
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: in three months. I think you're out of your gourd, right,

1535
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: and I believe me you don't. Here's the problem with

1536
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, shutting it down. You've got thousands and thousands

1537
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,560
Speaker 1: of people who won't be able to feed their families

1538
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: if they shut it down. It's that simple. As as

1539
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: big and powerful as the NFL is, and it is,

1540
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: they're just lay people off. They'll have to because there's

1541
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,679
Speaker 1: nothing going on, there's no money coming in. They ain't

1542
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: gonna have money. They won't be able to have money

1543
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: to go out. It's that simple. Now you can say, oh,

1544
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: they could, they could go and you know, take loan

1545
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: that they ain't gonna do it. Why wouldn't they, No

1546
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: business would do that. You're gonna You're talking about thousands

1547
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: upon thousands of people out, you know, and that's without

1548
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: a job at all period, no income, and a lot

1549
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 1: of people across the country are experiencing that the hard way.

1550
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: On this Today, today is the last day of those

1551
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits. How and how much today? How much do

1552
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: those people across the country, you know, wish their company

1553
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: had done that, you know, just continue to pay us

1554
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: going to day, you know, make it work somehow, keep

1555
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 1: paying us. Don't don't fire us, don't furlough us, don't

1556
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: put us out on unemployment, don't do that. Just keep

1557
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: paying it. Everybody wants that, and every other industry is

1558
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: exactly like the NFL. They're just not gonna do that.

1559
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do that and and that. So, um,

1560
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:32,600
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about you know, you

1561
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be playing these games. Sports isn't important. It well,

1562
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,599
Speaker 1: it's important to the people who feed their families that way,

1563
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: and that doesn't I'm not even talking about players. I'm

1564
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,719
Speaker 1: talking about you know, people like me and Met Brownie regularly,

1565
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: Jay regular you know guys who are you know, grinding

1566
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: it out, writing stories, selling tickets whatever. We're not selling tickets.

1567
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: You know that a lot of people. It affects a

1568
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,520
Speaker 1: lot of It's a twenty seven it's like a twenty

1569
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: plus billion dollar industry. How many people you think make

1570
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 1: that thing go? Yeah, and the nuts of the love,

1571
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all the fans that drive it and

1572
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: their income and they just don't have anything to give

1573
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: the fans right now, so it's not going away. So

1574
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: that's one opinion from Scott. We have another one from

1575
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,879
Speaker 1: Jeremy Gulo. I think they will end up rescheduling simply

1576
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: for the fact the way the entire league schedule was

1577
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: set up some way, somehow, they will want to run

1578
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: an entire season, or at least seventy five of it,

1579
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: with possible breaks for teams to figure out a way

1580
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: to contain the spread of one. If it happens, I

1581
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:42,759
Speaker 1: think it makes a lot of sense. We've talked about that, Brownie.

1582
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 1: I think the more we talk about it, I'm thinking

1583
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: this schedule is gonna not go off without a hitch.

1584
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be massaged, yeah, right, whether they push it

1585
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: back at the very front, or whether they move some

1586
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: things around once they're underway, shuffle around some bye weeks,

1587
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: flip them home and aways, like we were talking about

1588
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. You know, the Bills have to

1589
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: go to Miami in week two. You know, if if

1590
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: Florida is still a firestorm in early September, they may

1591
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: flip that game. Say you know what, Miami, you're travel

1592
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: and go up to Buffalo. It's a lot better up there,

1593
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, play the game up there, and we'll flip

1594
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: your game later in the year to down in Miami.

1595
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 1: And that's just the way we'll do it. I could

1596
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: certainly see those kinds of scenarios surfacing based on how

1597
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: current circumstances are in respective states where NFL teams play.

1598
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: I've also put it out there that I think they're

1599
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,680
Speaker 1: going to start traveling on game day. That will be

1600
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: an enormous advantage for the home team, but they don't

1601
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 1: have any fans, so they can give they can have

1602
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 1: that as their advantage. Making the other team travel the

1603
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: same day of the game. Push these one o'clock games

1604
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: for West Coast or East Coast teams for big long

1605
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 1: travel days, push those games back to later in the day.

1606
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 1: Since everybody's in a pandemic anyway, nobody has to get

1607
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: up and go to work on Monday, you know what

1608
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean. If you want to see the game, watch it,

1609
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 1: but you're gonna do it from home anyway. You're not

1610
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,679
Speaker 1: gonna have to, you know, drive four hours or fight

1611
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: traffic or anything like that. You can hit the sack

1612
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: and they'll do it at a reasonable hour, so it

1613
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: won't be that big of an inconvenience for fans to

1614
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,639
Speaker 1: instead of a one o'clock game, it'll be at a

1615
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 1: four o'clock or six o'clock or seven o'clock or what

1616
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. You're gonna have to do that for

1617
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: the West coast teams that have to travel east Steve,

1618
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,559
Speaker 1: You've got to play a little bit later, I would think,

1619
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: because yeah, well those teams probably gotta take a red

1620
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 1: eye out or something. You know. Let's yeah, they'll have

1621
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: to get up early, and they'll if you push those

1622
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 1: games back West coast to East coast, if you push

1623
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 1: those games back to a four o'clock or maybe even

1624
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: a seven o'clock window, yeah, they'd have time to get

1625
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: up at a reasonable instead of getting them up at

1626
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: four am bussing to the airport. You know, they get

1627
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: get up at you know, seven or eight o'clock in

1628
01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:00,760
Speaker 1: the morning, get to the airport, travel cross country, get

1629
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: to the get to Buffalo, bust to the stadium, suit up,

1630
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: having maybe an hour extra time there, you know what

1631
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean. Just but I mean, you're if you take

1632
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: off at nine West coast time, it's already new and

1633
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 1: on the East coast, and I know you're flying with

1634
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: the jet streams, so it's probably only four and a

1635
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 1: half maybe four hours in change to get to Buffalo.

1636
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: But you're not you're not laying until four thirty in

1637
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 1: the afternoon Eastern time. So yeah, it's got to be

1638
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: a seven o'clock game or something right in the evening. Right,

1639
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: So if you put it at like eight o'clock in

1640
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 1: the evening, that gives you plenty of time. Now, the

1641
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 1: only problem would be, and it would be a huge

1642
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 1: problem if it did, is a mechanical failure on the airplane.

1643
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 1: They're good right to get there, and the plane's like,

1644
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,800
Speaker 1: we gotta we're waiting on apart. You and I and

1645
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: you and I have traveled with the team long enough

1646
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:55,480
Speaker 1: to know that happens. It does, it does happen occasionally.

1647
01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: All right, let's get out of here. We'll be right

1648
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 1: back One Bill's Lives, Asker's teammates. Let's do it. Two.

1649
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: He'll show three o'clock Tasker's teammate coming up after the

1650
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 1: break on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Oh good time. I'll watch

1651
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Steve Taskers domes down a welcome back to One Bills Live.

1652
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: And I guess before we come back, I'm just gonna

1653
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 1: turn it over to Brownie for this portion of our program.

1654
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: Explain what it is, and we'll go down the list.

1655
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: All right, So This is very simple. Um, maybe not

1656
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: for Steve because he's the one that's on the spot

1657
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 1: with this, but we all know that Steve over is

1658
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 1: thirteen year career, had hundreds of teammates. UM. So what

1659
01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: we thought would be a fun exercise and it's become

1660
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: a segment of this show is every week we pick

1661
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: a former teammate of Steves and I gave him clues

1662
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: and it's his job to see if he can guess

1663
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 1: which teammate that I'm talking about. Now. This is like

1664
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 1: a needle in a haystack thing for Steve. So I

1665
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: know the pressures on because he knowing the way Steve is,

1666
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: he kind of feels bad if he can't guess the

1667
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 1: teammate right away. But we've got to remember we're into

1668
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: the thousands of players if you include training camp and

1669
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: preseason rosters and all of that. So Steve, and Steve,

1670
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: by the way, has been getting better and better at this. Okay,

1671
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: our first tasker's teammate, it took him six guesses to

1672
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 1: get Quinn early second one, it took him five guesses

1673
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 1: to get Leon Seals four for Keith mckeller, and just

1674
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: three in our last installment to guess, Jim Richer. So

1675
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: here we are in the this is like name that

1676
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 1: tune Steve? Like, can I name it in two notes?

1677
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Let's see if let's see if you can do that.

1678
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: So we've tried to be a little more cryptic with

1679
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,719
Speaker 1: the clues. So no offense to our teammate this week,

1680
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 1: but we're trying to make the degree of difficulty a

1681
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 1: little more stringent for Steve. I think you're on Steve,

1682
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 1: so so you're trying to stump me. Is trying to

1683
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 1: do so? Trying to give me like no clues a

1684
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 1: while giving me clues. Right, So here we are addition

1685
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: five of taskers. Teammate. First clue. I was a teammate

1686
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 1: of Steve's for six seasons, but I didn't start my

1687
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL career with the Bills. So six years a teammate

1688
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 1: of Steve's did not start his career with Buffalo James Lofton.

1689
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: It is not James Lofton. That's a good guest, though,

1690
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: that's not bad. Okay, So here we go. Clue number

1691
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 1: two taskers teammate Steve and I are only six days

1692
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 1: apart in age. My birthday is April sixteenth, His is

1693
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 1: April tenth both in nineteen sixty two. Oh baby, Now

1694
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 1: this is something that most teammates don't keep track it up.

1695
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,840
Speaker 1: So this is kind of out there a little bit.

1696
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 1: But I like Brooks, Billy Brooks, not Bill Brooks. Not

1697
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 1: a bad guest, though I don't think he was here

1698
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 1: six years Yeah, I don't think so either. Clue number

1699
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: three for Tasker's teammate. I was projected as a first

1700
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 1: round pick by mel Kiper and gil Brandt, but I

1701
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 1: was ultimately a second round draft choice in nineteen eighty six. Now,

1702
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: remember he didn't start his career with the Bills, so

1703
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: he's a second round draft choice in eighty six of

1704
01:35:53,920 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 1: some other NFL club. Wow, he's really thinking. Steve is

1705
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: like deep, like deep in thought here. Um six years man,

1706
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: that's a tough one, it is. I gotta know this.

1707
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 1: I know him well. Six years we were like, okay, look,

1708
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm going around my lock my virtual locker room, and

1709
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 1: you're bringing every locker and seeing like, you know, problem

1710
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: is Williams on some of those lockers changed right right

1711
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 1: right right? Uh I will I gotta pass. Okay, So

1712
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 1: we'll go to the next clue. Clue number four. My

1713
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: best individual season with the Bills was in nineteen ninety one,

1714
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: when I had single season career best statistically at my

1715
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:11,919
Speaker 1: position almost across the board. So now you know it's

1716
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 1: it's is it night? Wait, it's a D lineman. Gotta

1717
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: be a D lineman. No, God, Jim Jeff cot is

1718
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: not Jim Jeff. He wasn't here six years either, all right,

1719
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: So we move on to clue number five. Even though

1720
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: I was not a full time starter, I played an

1721
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: important role in our nineteen ninety two postseason run to

1722
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl twenty seven, with key contributions and performances in

1723
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:49,879
Speaker 1: the comeback game against the Oilers and the divisional playoff

1724
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 1: win over the Steelers. This guy really helped that year.

1725
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, aass. So not a full time starter, right right,

1726
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 1: But I mean this guy is a big reason why

1727
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: you got to a third super Bowl. But the stuff

1728
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: he did in the postseason ninety two super Bowl though, right,

1729
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 1: like a third super Bowl, that's correct. Big in the

1730
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 1: comeback game, yeah, big in divisional playoff over the Steelers.

1731
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: Phil Hanson is not Hans. I remember I said that

1732
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: in that clue, not a full time starter. So bright

1733
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 1: Hanson is also a draft pick of the bills too,

1734
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 1: so I'm like struggling here, you're grasping and straw. Well,

1735
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 1: that's okay, So here we go clue number six. After

1736
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: my playing career was over, I got into coaching at

1737
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 1: the high school level in my home state. Oh now,

1738
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: there's a few of your former teammates that got into coaching.

1739
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: So that doesn't I mean, it narrows it down, but

1740
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't make it obvious, folks. I'm telling you right now,

1741
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 1: if you can see Steve's hair, it is like straight

1742
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 1: up in the air because he's been rubbing his head

1743
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 1: so dang hard. His hair is sticking straight up. I'm

1744
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:25,639
Speaker 1: a oh gosh, high school. He looks like a mad

1745
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:33,759
Speaker 1: science Kenny Davis com you got it, Steve, Kenny Davis,

1746
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 1: that is correct. Why did it take me so long

1747
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 1: to get Kenny Davis? Got Kenny on the line right now?

1748
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: What's going on? Kenny? Are you doing I'm I'm glad.

1749
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: How are you doing? You safe and well during the pandemic? Yes,

1750
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: i am, I know. I'm feeling good. I'm doing well.

1751
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,679
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in my chair just uh listening to you.

1752
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 1: Texas was a little crazy right now though, right Kenny yes,

1753
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: it has been. It really is. How are you what's

1754
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen with your football? Says? Are you still coaching

1755
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 1: or you kind of hiatus? What's going on athletics? No, No,

1756
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: I stepped down. I stepped down. I decided time for

1757
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: me to rest. I said it was time for me

1758
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: to rest and stuff. And so I stepped down, and

1759
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: and uh, I pilled around the house and stuff. Now

1760
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't do too much of nothing. He was coaching

1761
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: at that school down there, Um there's a Catholic school,

1762
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 1: and then he became athletic director. Yeah, I stayed. I

1763
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: was down at Bishop Dunn for about fourteen years. I

1764
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: think it is fourteen fifteen years. But it was good, Kenny.

1765
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. That's good. How long has it been

1766
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: since you've been back up to Buffalo. I can't remember.

1767
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,759
Speaker 1: It's been it's been many years. It's been many years.

1768
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:00,680
Speaker 1: You got to come up for the Did you come

1769
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 1: up for Bruce's uh Jersey retirement? I might I might

1770
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 1: have been the last time I was there. Or was

1771
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: it at brust Jersey's retirement? It may have been the

1772
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: last time that I was there. Where do we get

1773
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: where did you come to the Buffalo Bills from which

1774
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: team was it? Was it Green Bay or something? Green

1775
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Bay Packers? Ye? Yeah, and right yeah, and you came in.

1776
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 1: Uh uh. Let's see that the running back Elijah Pitts

1777
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: was here with you, right, Elia, Yeah, yeah, he was

1778
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: my coach. Yep. Tell us about tell us about the

1779
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 1: running back room. Was you Elijah Pitts? Of course, Thurman

1780
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 1: Thomas and you guys, You and Thurman carried the ball

1781
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: for the Bills for Yeah, all those six years you

1782
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: were there was the two of you, and you were

1783
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: you were a really good player that and backing up

1784
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame player, so we were really set

1785
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:54,680
Speaker 1: at running back. Tell us about the room when you

1786
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,640
Speaker 1: were there with Elijah Pitts, who you know and his

1787
01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 1: career played for the Green Bay Packers as well, was

1788
01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl champion. I think I think it was great.

1789
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: I think Eli was very smart and what he was

1790
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,759
Speaker 1: doing and the way that the way that they handled

1791
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: it is. He explained to me even now when I

1792
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: first got when I first came to Buffalo, he explained

1793
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: to me that they had Thurmond Thomas there and Thurmond

1794
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 1: Thomas was they started and all this year and he

1795
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: was telling me, you know the step there. He said

1796
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:23,519
Speaker 1: that you need to go somewhere where you need to

1797
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: be starting. I said, well, I feel like I want

1798
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 1: to start here. But he said, we got our president

1799
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 1: in place right now with Thurman, and Thomond was from Houston, Texas.

1800
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: So when I met Thurman and talked to him and

1801
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 1: stuff about all of it, you know, I made the decision.

1802
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: I say, this is where I need to be in

1803
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: That's why I end up staying. And Steve, I know

1804
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 1: I mentioned it in the clue, but you know you

1805
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 1: talk about that third Super Bowl run. Thurman has the

1806
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 1: hip injury in the comeback game and has to go out,

1807
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 1: and Kenny kind of got the comeback started because he

1808
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: had that first touchdown that you guys had in that game,

1809
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 1: Right Kenny, You you came here, you knew you're gonna

1810
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: back thirm it up. You have any regrets, I don't have.

1811
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 1: I don't have no regrets about uh playing at Buffalo.

1812
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have any great regrets about it.

1813
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of great players, a lot of

1814
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: great coaches, and it was just an incredible time in

1815
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: my life. You know, no one has ever done what

1816
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,720
Speaker 1: we've done in Buffalo. I understand, and it hurts me

1817
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,639
Speaker 1: in some aspects that we didn't win the Super Bowl,

1818
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, but you know I didn't win. But I

1819
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:36,040
Speaker 1: tell you one thing to go to fall No, that's

1820
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: that's wonderful, you know. It's what you mean is just

1821
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like winning it. Why Why do

1822
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: you think that team was able to do that? Nobody

1823
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: else has been able to repeat that feat. I kind

1824
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: of think that a lot of it has to do

1825
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: with the coach Levy when we when we went to

1826
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: the no huddle offense. I think that right there is

1827
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: probably what really put us over the top of being

1828
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 1: able to do all that, because you know, they could

1829
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: they could create so many more plays and some many

1830
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: more routes for the receivers and stuff. You know, you

1831
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 1: got to understand a lot of times that you know,

1832
01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:12,479
Speaker 1: they had one back in the backfield and then all

1833
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the sea was entire wide receivers and

1834
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: tight ends. You know. So you know, I think the

1835
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: knowledge of the game that coach leaving them head was

1836
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 1: ahead a long ways. You know, they were ahead of

1837
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:30,600
Speaker 1: the game and a lot of waves and then Kenny Um,

1838
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of looking up the history stuff,

1839
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 1: so I could give Steve these clues. You go back

1840
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: to that divisional playoff win over the Steelers, when you

1841
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 1: know Thurman still wasn't Right after you beat the Oilers,

1842
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: you advanced to the next week, you got to play

1843
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers and you roll up one hundred and four

1844
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 1: yards on a good Steelers defense on the ground there.

1845
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 1: What do you what do you remember about that game?

1846
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: And why were things just rolling for you in that game?

1847
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 1: If you remember it at all, I think, more so

1848
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:01,879
Speaker 1: than anything, is that it gave an opportunity to start.

1849
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: It gave them an opportunity to start. Now, you know,

1850
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: I was sorry but Thurman being hurt, but it had

1851
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 1: given me an opportunity to start. And then it had

1852
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:15,679
Speaker 1: also he had. Thurman had set a level up there,

1853
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: and so I knew that I had to come above

1854
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: that level of playing. You know, if we're going to

1855
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 1: play right down and he's out and hurt and and

1856
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. I think that I always

1857
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: try to try to go high up as well as

1858
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:35,640
Speaker 1: I can. Kenny, in the current pandemic that we're all experiencing,

1859
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: you've probably watched the NHL trying to get back on

1860
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: the ice, the NBA seems to be doing a nice

1861
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: job getting their season back on track, and Major League

1862
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:47,599
Speaker 1: Baseball struggling with COVID because of their lack of ability

1863
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 1: to lock things down. With the NFL starting their season,

1864
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,680
Speaker 1: We've got about thirty three at the current moment, we

1865
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: got like thirty three guys that are opting out. Some

1866
01:45:57,880 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: of them are just doing it because they don't like

1867
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 1: the idea of playing, and others are doing it because

1868
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:04,120
Speaker 1: they have health risks to them or their family. What

1869
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on whether how you would have handled

1870
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: this decision back when you played, and how you would

1871
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 1: have thought about guys who did what you did not do,

1872
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 1: whether they either opted in or opted out. Well, I

1873
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't think that it's something that I would

1874
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 1: have opted out because I kind of think that a

1875
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, you opt out and that's

1876
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:30,759
Speaker 1: your family there, you know, in one aspect of life.

1877
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to opt out on my teammates.

1878
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: You know, we come here together, we're gonna work together.

1879
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: You know. I understand how they may feel and they

1880
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: may think about it, But a lot of times, when

1881
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: these guys that are opting out like this here, like

1882
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 1: they're doing now. A lot of these guys already have

1883
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 1: been paid a huge amount of money, so they can

1884
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 1: afford to opt out. They can afford to say this

1885
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 1: and that you know back then, you know you didn't.

1886
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: You didn't, you didn't. Financially, it wasn't that strong for

1887
01:46:57,320 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: you to be able to opt out. But I think,

1888
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 1: more so than of things, that we was close as teammates,

1889
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's what will make the gifts. I

1890
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: think he has teammates. You're gonna figure out how you're

1891
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 1: going to figure out how close y'all really are. This

1892
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,439
Speaker 1: this is going to make a decision about how close

1893
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 1: the teams really are, how individually the teams are. Well, Kenny, uh, listen,

1894
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:24,640
Speaker 1: we appreciate you taking the time to jump on the

1895
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: horn with us here. Um, we had fun playing taskers

1896
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,679
Speaker 1: teammate and making you the subject that Steve had to guess.

1897
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,759
Speaker 1: And fortunately, for Steve's sake, he got you. We didn't

1898
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 1: stop him. So I mean, for all the teammates that

1899
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: Steve had, he's done pretty good guessing you guys. So

1900
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:41,760
Speaker 1: we thank you for joining us and being part of

1901
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: the show today. We appreciate it. Thanks Kenny, all right,

1902
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 1: thank you. All right. More former Bills running back Kenny Davis.

1903
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:52,639
Speaker 1: The latest answer in our edition of Taskers teammates, Steve,

1904
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:54,799
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. I was trying to be cryptic

1905
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: with the clues, yeah, and try not to give away

1906
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,479
Speaker 1: the house and the farm there, and so you did

1907
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:05,200
Speaker 1: pretty well. I'm noticing that when you get to these things,

1908
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 1: I know that I A'll grab like James Lofton was

1909
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: one of my guesses, and I'll get guys who kind of,

1910
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of they fit some of the clues,

1911
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:18,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure about the others or they you know,

1912
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong about it. I can't remember whether they

1913
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 1: one of the other clues is true or not. But

1914
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 1: then when I when I think of, you know, in

1915
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: this case, Kenny Davis and last week Jimmy Richard, Keith mckeller,

1916
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:30,639
Speaker 1: those guys they fit everything. When I think of their name,

1917
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:33,759
Speaker 1: it clicks in like like a puzzle piece, and I'm like, oh,

1918
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 1: that's a guy. That's the guy. I always say. My

1919
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 1: last guest is always emphatic. I always get it right away.

1920
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: You know, that's right, because it's really funny because watching

1921
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:46,680
Speaker 1: you stew through it Um, it's pretty it's entertaining for me.

1922
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to when we're back on television

1923
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: because this segment will be even more entertaining for our

1924
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: viewers than than even our listeners, because watching Steve roll

1925
01:48:56,960 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: through his brain and just like rub his head to

1926
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 1: try to like stimulate an extra few brain cells to

1927
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:05,800
Speaker 1: try to get the recall going, it is it is

1928
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: fun to right yeah, well not for the most fun

1929
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 1: for me right not for no, we don't have anything

1930
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 1: to announce, but sooner or later we are going to

1931
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 1: get back on MSG. We will get back in the studio.

1932
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: We're hoping it'll be soon. But for right now, we're

1933
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 1: gonna be for the foreseeable future right here on the

1941
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 1: content call yesterday morning, which you know, obviously put the

1942
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: whole thing. So we so we had to had a reset,

1943
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: had to call it off and move it till today. Um.

1944
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kenny Davis, great teammate, great player, And like

1945
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,599
Speaker 1: you said, he came here knowing even though he wanted

1946
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 1: to play, he came here to back Thurman Thomas up.

1947
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 1: He knew we had a good football team. Uh. He

1948
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:14,640
Speaker 1: wanted to be on a good football team and he

1949
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 1: got plenty of opportunities to play and play well for

1950
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah. And I it had totally slipped my

1951
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 1: mind how important he was on that third Super Bowl run.

1952
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, Thurman was gimpy with the hip injury, and

1953
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: he comes in and he kind of sparks you guys

1954
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 1: with that first touchdown and the comeback and you're down

1955
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five. Yeah, he scores that first touchdown to

1956
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: kind of get the ball rolling and you guys just

1957
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of go from there. And then the next week

1958
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 1: against a good Steelers defense, he runs for one hundred

1959
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:46,719
Speaker 1: and four yards and a touchdown. UM. I just think nobody,

1960
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody really got to see just

1961
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: how good Kenny was, just because you know, he had

1962
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 1: to defer to a Hall of Famer and you totally

1963
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:58,680
Speaker 1: understand it, but another you kind of wonder what kind

1964
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:00,680
Speaker 1: of career he would have had. And I'll give you

1965
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: another quick thing. In the championship game in Miami against

1966
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, he snapped off that long run to

1967
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,519
Speaker 1: put that game. Helped put that game away as well.

1968
01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:13,360
Speaker 1: He had a number of key plays in big moments.

1969
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: And that's one thing he got in return for coming

1970
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and back and throw it up. He got

1971
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: to play in a lot of very important games and

1972
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 1: a lot of big moments. One other bit of NFL

1973
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: news that just came down NFL Networks Tom Pelasio is

1974
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 1: reporting that free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has

1975
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: been linked in reports to Baltimore and Seattle and in

1976
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 1: an effort to come back and add a retirement a

1977
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: third time because he retires and then says he's available,

1978
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 1: retires and is available. The investigation apparently is done into

1979
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 1: his off the field issues and he is being suspended

1980
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 1: by the league for eight games according to sources, So

1981
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: whomever he signs with, he'll be serving an eight game

1982
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 1: suspension when he does. I don't know. I think that

1983
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: pretty much removes all interest in him, does it not?

1984
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:04,479
Speaker 1: I would think in this current environment, maybe, yeah, maybe

1985
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: it'll be tough, although in a normal season it would

1986
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:11,880
Speaker 1: also cool. Some people on taking him as well, although

1987
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: they you know, you got to sign him and then

1988
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: you don't see him for two months during the regular season.

1989
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 1: He would probably come in and be in during training

1990
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: camp and all of that, but then once the season starts,

1991
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: he leaves, right, That's how that works. He leaves for

1992
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: eight weeks, eight games, then comes back into the building.

1993
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:30,599
Speaker 1: So you could get him acclimated during training camp if

1994
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:34,160
Speaker 1: somebody was so inclined to do so. Yeah, be interesting

1995
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 1: to see how much it changes the thought processes of

1996
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, Seattle and Baltimore, which have been linked to

1997
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:45,759
Speaker 1: him the most. Right through the course of the off season.

1998
01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 1: Here Russell Wilson pushing hard for him, and I did

1999
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: not know this, Steve so Marky's Hollywood Brown is Antonio

2000
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 1: Brown's cousin. So I know Lamar Jackson has been working

2001
01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot with Marquis in the off season, and Antonio's

2002
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 1: kind come along for the ride. No one that's his

2003
01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: cousin working out, So it'll be interesting. They Actually I

2004
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: saw a quote from Lamar Jackson saying I'm still holding

2005
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: out a little bit of hope that we can bring

2006
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,559
Speaker 1: him on board. But I don't know if Antonio Brown

2007
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: would be happy in Baltimore because of how much they

2008
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: run the dang ball. Right, yeah, that's right now. Also,

2009
01:53:21,640 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 1: his suspension is eight game takes a feat eight games

2010
01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: takes effect week one, regardless of whether he's on a

2011
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 1: roster or not. He could be. It could be extended

2012
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:32,599
Speaker 1: if further violations are found related to an ongoing civil

2013
01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 1: suit in Florida, per a source. So Antonio Brown's sidelined

2014
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 1: at least through week eight and potentially longer depending on

2015
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:45,160
Speaker 1: the completion of the Florida investigation. I got one last

2016
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:47,680
Speaker 1: question for your Brown, and then you can take us

2017
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 1: to break. If he's on suspended, does that mean a

2018
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:55,360
Speaker 1: team can carry him on the roster and not have

2019
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: him count against the roster during the suspension. I believe

2020
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,600
Speaker 1: he would be reserved suspended, so yeah, he would not

2021
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: count towards your roster total. Right, all right, And under

2022
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: the rules, as you said, he can practice with the

2023
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: team through training camp. Through training camp, so he can

2024
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,400
Speaker 1: get up to speed that way, and then go on

2025
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:15,680
Speaker 1: vacation for two months. All right, Well, there you go.

2026
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown maybe on his way back to the National

2027
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 1: Football League. We'll be back One Bill's Live, presented by

2028
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:27,640
Speaker 1: Kalidah Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to a

2029
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 1: legendary day. On One Bill's Live, Daryl Talley joined us

2030
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: and Kenny Davis also joined us. Kenny Davis was the

2031
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:38,360
Speaker 1: Tasker's teammate. That was after the clues given I finally

2032
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 1: got and then Darryl Talley joined us. Says he is

2033
01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 1: on the Captain's Circle Sunday night at seven o'clock with

2034
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: final installments. Yeah, Stu Barnes, Danny Gare and Lorenzo Alexander

2035
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 1: also on that program as well. Now, Brownie is time

2036
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 1: for NFL True false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2037
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Artist and Cheese. Are you ready, Brownie?

2038
01:54:59,200 --> 01:55:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm always ready. I here we go, this is or

2039
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:05,440
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta, We'll just do this. I'm just I'm

2040
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:08,480
Speaker 1: not gonna preface it. Licking fingers during the game will

2041
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 1: be the hardest adjustment for quarterbacks in twenty twenty? Will

2042
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:19,800
Speaker 1: it be the hardest thing? Um, the hardest adjustment to make.

2043
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of what other adjustments they'll have

2044
01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: to make. Like probably screaming through that mouth guard might

2045
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:32,760
Speaker 1: be an adjustment. Um most Yeah, that mouth mask thing

2046
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 1: that they want them to put on the helmets to

2047
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:39,879
Speaker 1: protect from, you know, spitting droplets and spreading the virus um,

2048
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 1: that would be an adjustment. They aren't gonna stop licking

2049
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: their fingers, Brownie. Well, Steve, I'm gonna ask you this, Okay,

2050
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 1: what's what's the reason why they couldn't just put a

2051
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 1: damp you know, you have that they have that dry

2052
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 1: towel hanging out of their belt to dry their hands,

2053
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, in a rainy game or something. Why couldn't

2054
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: they just have a damp towel hanging out of their

2055
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 1: pants and and just wet it down with a water

2056
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 1: bottle and just grab that to you know, slick up

2057
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: their fingers feel like they can get a better grip

2058
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 1: on the ball. Why couldn't they do that? They could

2059
01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 1: do that, They won't. Why because they won't. Because they

2060
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 1: get on the field, it'll be like they'll be doing

2061
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:24,800
Speaker 1: what they've been doing since they were eight. Yeah, that's

2062
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, they get good with they'll they'll have

2063
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 1: to practice it. They'll have to. You know, they'll start

2064
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 1: doing it to get something. They may some of the

2065
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 1: guys may be dedicated enough to say, you know, I'm

2066
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna do the

2067
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: wet towel thing on my belt. Uh. But you know

2068
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 1: because your your center is probably not happy about that

2069
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:45,480
Speaker 1: because he's got to touch that same ball every time.

2070
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 1: And if you know what, if you're well, he's probably

2071
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:56,640
Speaker 1: picked it up in the throat of the defensive tackle. Yeah,

2072
01:56:56,680 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, or you're cutting, you're splitting it. They're gonna

2073
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 1: do whatever they They're gonna do what they've always done.

2074
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna play. Is it gonna be the hardest adjustment?

2075
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: So you're saying true false, it's not gonna It's not

2076
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the hardest adjustments. They're not gonna adjust and

2077
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:12,840
Speaker 1: even if they do, there are tons more adjustments that

2078
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 1: are harder. So now come on, I'll say false too,

2079
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 1: just for the hell of it. Just see. So that's

2080
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 1: that's bizarre though, and it's all right here we go

2081
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 1: with COVID. Now it's kind of GROSSI that is a

2082
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 1: weird one for sure. Yeah, JJ, that come out funny

2083
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 1: for you at Brown et there is that or is

2084
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:38,840
Speaker 1: it just sipping on you? Yeah, he's skipped on me.

2085
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:41,760
Speaker 1: Oh sorry about that? All right, here we go NFL

2086
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: true false. Number two Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni will

2087
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 1: get a head coaching opportunity in twenty twenty one. Sirianni

2088
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,320
Speaker 1: is thirty nine. He turns forty next year. He's already

2089
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 1: drawn some interests from multiple teams as a head coach.

2090
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 1: Is momentum slowed a little bit last season because they

2091
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 1: the Colts often struggled after Andrew Luck retired unexpectedly, but

2092
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 1: he is expected to be a strong candidate in the

2093
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 1: coming years. And Sirianni plays a huge role in developing

2094
01:58:08,240 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 1: the game plans and has basically the same role that

2095
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 1: Frank Reich had under Doug Peterson in for the Philadelphia

2096
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: Eagles when they won the Super Bowl. So make Sirianni

2097
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:19,320
Speaker 1: will get a head coaching job in twenty twenty one.

2098
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it depends on I'm not trying to heads here,

2099
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 1: but I think it depends on how the Colts do.

2100
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 1: Because it's not very often that we see coordinators get

2101
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: head coaching positions from teams that went five hundred or

2102
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, barely made the playoffs. I mean, just look

2103
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 1: at Frank, Like Frank didn't get real consideration, like true

2104
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 1: real consideration for a head coaching job until Philly won

2105
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So I think Sirianni's kind of in

2106
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 1: the same boat here. Now, if the Colts go to

2107
01:58:56,400 --> 01:59:00,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs with Philip Rivers, which I think is completely possible, um,

2108
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:05,480
Speaker 1: and they win a game and the offense looks prolific,

2109
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:08,120
Speaker 1: well then yeah, I think he isn't good shape to

2110
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: get it. Um. So I'm really what I'm doing here

2111
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 1: is I'm I'm pinning Sirianni's fortunes on how I think

2112
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: the Colts are gonna do this year. So I will

2113
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 1: say true because I think the Colts will win that

2114
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 1: division this year. How about that? I agree? I think, uh,

2115
01:59:25,120 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is gonna make Nick Sirianni a lot of money.

2116
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: And they've were and they've worked together before because he

2117
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: was on the Chargers staff years Philip was there right exactly.

2118
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 1: So I'm um, I'm with you. I think Nick Sirianni

2119
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:49,000
Speaker 1: will will h offensive coordinate the Colt offense too great

2120
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 1: things this season. I think they will win that division

2121
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: and that's going to get him a head coaching job

2122
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:54,680
Speaker 1: at some point. Now, if you want to take that

2123
01:59:54,720 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 1: a step further, Brownie, where's he gonna be? Well, right,

2124
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:02,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you. I gotta I gotta spot right

2125
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:04,960
Speaker 1: now that I can spring on you. You got a

2126
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:08,040
Speaker 1: list of teams. Nick Sirianni's gonna be the next head

2127
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay, yeah, I think the

2128
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be open. I think the Jets will be

2129
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:18,919
Speaker 1: open for business. Who else could be open for business?

2130
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Maybe the Lions if things go sideways for Lions to

2131
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Patricia right, that could happen. And you can never cross

2132
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland off the list the way they operate. So God,

2133
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 1: this this first year here, you know he'll be all right.

2134
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be got rid of chud after one year.

2135
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna be better. They're gonna be better. What about Denver?

2136
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Do you think, Vic Founio? I think they'll be okay,

2137
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll be competitive enough. There'll be somewhere around

2138
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: eight and eight. What about Houston, Bill O'Brien that has

2139
02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:54,360
Speaker 1: the potential to blow up um and has the potential

2140
02:00:54,360 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: to blow up I think, yes, not as strong as

2141
02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the Jets or Jacksonville. But right, yeah, that that's real.

2142
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 1: And you know it's another one. I think Atlanta could

2143
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: have could be open for business too, because dan Quinn

2144
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 1: is at the end of his rope here. He's had

2145
02:01:10,400 --> 02:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the jettison coordinators to save his own job. The last

2146
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:19,400
Speaker 1: couple of years, they've underachieved I think by most people's expectations.

2147
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 1: So if they go like seven and nine or six

2148
02:01:22,920 --> 02:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and ten or even eight and eight, you know, maybe

2149
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I think dan Quinn could be out of a job. Yeah,

2150
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,360
Speaker 1: maybe Atlanta's got You know, dan Quinn is their head coach,

2151
02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Dick Dirk Cutter is their offensive coordinator, and Raheem Morris

2152
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 1: is their defensive coordinator. Rayhee Morris, I've I've had a

2153
02:01:38,960 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 1: production meeting with him during my days as a CBS broadcaster.

2154
02:01:42,960 --> 02:01:47,200
Speaker 1: Very impressive, sharp, Yeah, he is, very much So. All right,

2155
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:50,440
Speaker 1: that's we both said. True to Nick Sirianna getting a

2156
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 1: head coaching opportunity. One more let's do. Okay, here we go.

2157
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 1: We just talked about Antonio Brown in the last segment,

2158
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 1: and he is going to get suspended for eight games

2159
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: the league says, So if you get him on your team,

2160
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,080
Speaker 1: you lose him for eight games, but he has the

2161
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:07,920
Speaker 1: way has been clarified for his trek back to the

2162
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 1: National Football League and getting on the field. So NFL

2163
02:02:11,360 --> 02:02:15,840
Speaker 1: true false asks this Antonio Brown would or would would

2164
02:02:15,920 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: not survive in Ravens heavy run, heavy offense. Antonio Brown

2165
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:27,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore would not work true or false. I'm gonna

2166
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:31,880
Speaker 1: say true because in an offense that runs the ball

2167
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:34,640
Speaker 1: as much as they do between Lamar and mark Ingram,

2168
02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't I just don't see him seeing enough action

2169
02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:46,760
Speaker 1: to be satisfied. He's used to be in the primary

2170
02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: option and getting twelve targets a game, and I just

2171
02:02:49,280 --> 02:02:52,400
Speaker 1: don't see that happening in Baltimore. I see him getting

2172
02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: five to six maybe seven tops, and I don't know

2173
02:02:57,400 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 1: if that's enough to keep him happy. And this guy

2174
02:03:01,080 --> 02:03:04,840
Speaker 1: has a hair trigger personality. I mean he could go

2175
02:03:04,960 --> 02:03:06,760
Speaker 1: off at the drop of a hat. You don't know,

2176
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what he's doing. Yeah, I'll say this though,

2177
02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:13,480
Speaker 1: giving him every benefit of the doubt that I can,

2178
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I would say in Baltimore, with a team that is

2179
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,120
Speaker 1: as solid as they are and wins as many games

2180
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:24,680
Speaker 1: as they do with an MVP like they have, they

2181
02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 1: would win enough and have enough success, and there would

2182
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:30,839
Speaker 1: be enough spillage onto Antonio Brown to have enough success

2183
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:33,000
Speaker 1: to keep him happy. I think they could make it

2184
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 1: work in Baltimore, but from this distance, I would have

2185
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 1: to say it would not work. So I'm say true

2186
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown would not survive in a Raven's run heavy offense.

2187
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it would work. I could conjure a

2188
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:49,040
Speaker 1: scenario where it would, but I don't think that's the

2189
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:51,280
Speaker 1: scenario that would take place if he got if he

2190
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 1: landed there, say this week, let me ask you this,

2191
02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,400
Speaker 1: how hard do you think it would be? Even though

2192
02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in a short time in the league, has

2193
02:03:58,520 --> 02:04:01,840
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of credentials, including an MVP, but the

2194
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:05,560
Speaker 1: fact remains he's twenty three years old. Do you think

2195
02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: that a twenty three year old quarterback would be able

2196
02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: to keep a thirty one year old hothead like Antonio

2197
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Brown in check when he's going off the rails. Is

2198
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:19,560
Speaker 1: there enough they can handle? Yeah? I think it depends

2199
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: on Lamar. I don't think Lamar is a shrinking violet.

2200
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:24,880
Speaker 1: I think he'd be all right. Certainly, he's You're right,

2201
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: he's young, but he's an MVP of the league, and

2202
02:04:29,120 --> 02:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Lamar would come to the table with the Baltimore Ravens

2203
02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 1: on his side of the table. Antonio would come to

2204
02:04:35,240 --> 02:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the table with two lawyers and an investigation. So he's

2205
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 1: he's not bringing quite the leverage to the table that

2206
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 1: Lamar is. And also not for nothing, Antonio Brown ain't

2207
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna be pulling down twelve million bucks a year. He's

2208
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna be making like one point five with maybe eight

2209
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 1: million in incentives or something like that. He's not gonna

2210
02:04:58,120 --> 02:05:01,760
Speaker 1: be busting the bank. You know, it's not unlike where

2211
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens was at the end of his career. That's right.

2212
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,480
Speaker 1: Like he was, he was an off he was an

2213
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:11,360
Speaker 1: off the field headache. But then suddenly the opportunities dried

2214
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:14,280
Speaker 1: up and he had to come to Buffalo for for

2215
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:17,280
Speaker 1: chump change on a one year deal. And he hadn't

2216
02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 1: said chump change, but yeah, and he had to behave himself,

2217
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 1: which was new Terror story, which was a struggle too

2218
02:05:24,520 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 1: at time to talk about grinning and Barron at Holy Kids, Man. Yeah, Yeah,

2219
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 1: that's where Antonio Brown is. Now, that's where That's exactly right,

2220
02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:35,440
Speaker 1: That's exactly right where he's at. You're exactly right. He's

2221
02:05:35,480 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 1: exactly where where Terrell Owens was at the end of

2222
02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:40,080
Speaker 1: his career when he signed the one year deal with Buffalo.

2223
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:44,000
Speaker 1: That's where Antonio Brown finds himself. And that is NFL

2224
02:05:44,080 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 1: true false. Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's

2225
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 1: Artist and Cheese. Brownie will be back Brownie and Me.

2226
02:05:50,120 --> 02:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker will be back on one Bills Live right

2227
02:05:52,760 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 1: after the break on Buffalo Bill's Radio where we learned

2228
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:04,560
Speaker 1: brought to you by Skywards, the official construction equipment rental

2229
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Earlier in the program, Bill's Legend,

2230
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Darryl Talley joined us and we talked about him and

2231
02:06:10,440 --> 02:06:13,920
Speaker 1: his showing on Captain Circle. It's going to air Sunday

2232
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:16,560
Speaker 1: night at seven pm on all the Sabers and Bills platforms.

2233
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Here's what Darrel said about being on the final episode

2234
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:23,360
Speaker 1: of Captain's Circle. I had met Danny gear Out some

2235
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:26,080
Speaker 1: we'd met at a bunch of golf terms and stuff

2236
02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:28,120
Speaker 1: like that, so I had known who he was, and

2237
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,640
Speaker 1: we had known each other for years, and we lived

2238
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: in the same city because I lived in Buffalo when

2239
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:35,480
Speaker 1: I was there, so we got to meet each other

2240
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:37,840
Speaker 1: during the all seasons and stuff like that, so we

2241
02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: met during different tournaments. I think it's a very very

2242
02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:46,040
Speaker 1: good day to get both sides together because I think

2243
02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: by doing that, you get to give the population of

2244
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo and better or a little more well rounded of

2245
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:59,879
Speaker 1: a atmosphere. Because now you just see your professional athlee

2246
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 1: together in one place, doing something together for a common cause.

2247
02:07:06,280 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: That's huge. Darryl Talley on Captain's Circle coming up at

2248
02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:14,200
Speaker 1: seven o'clock on Sunday night. We also had this week's

2249
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:17,880
Speaker 1: edition of Tasker's Teammate and this is the moment when

2250
02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 1: the lights finally came on for yours true clue number six.

2251
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 1: After my playing career was over, I got into coaching

2252
02:07:25,280 --> 02:07:31,640
Speaker 1: at the high school level in my home state. Oh now,

2253
02:07:31,680 --> 02:07:34,160
Speaker 1: there's a few of your former teammates that got into coaching.

2254
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: So that doesn't I mean, it narrows it down, but

2255
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:41,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't make it obvious, folks. I'm telling you right now,

2256
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:44,600
Speaker 1: if you could see Steve's hair, it is like straight
