1 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. 2 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: players state, Steve a blimp. We're not even in the 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: stratedere of normalcy here, never normal, but always entertaining. It's 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: Tasker with you as the rain has moved through Orchard 7 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: Park as we're broadcasting live from the Seneca Studios and 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: the wind is kicking up something fierce right now for 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: our MSG viewers. If you look closely enough, you can 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: see the goalposts inside Bill Stadium waving at you back 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: and forth. The players are out on the grass practice 12 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: field today. We'll be checking in with multimedia reporter Manny 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Glab who will be along the sidelines. There's already news 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: regarding some of the Bill's injuries, namely Lee by Wallace 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: and Matt Malana, who were both declared week to week 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: with their respective pectoral and ankle injuries suffered in last 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: week's game. They are not practicing today. And then on 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: top of that good news on the John Feliciano front, 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: he will be practicing, to quote coach McDermott, in some 20 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: capacity beginning today, so he is about ten weeks removed 21 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: from torn pectoral muscle surgery and it's usually an eight 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: to twelve week rehab for that. He's about ten weeks 23 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: out from surgery. So certainly a positive sign there, especially 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: knowing the Cody Ford's dealing with something that coach referenced 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: on Monday, and Brian Winters left last week's game with 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: a knee injury. I don't know if John Feliciano is 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: gonna be ready to play this week, but it's certainly 28 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: an encouraging sign that reinforcements are on the way in 29 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the near future here and Steve, that just pales in 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: comparison to all the other stuff that's going on today 31 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: with respect to COVID impacting the NFL. Stefan gil More 32 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: tests positive in New England. They're now up to three positives, 33 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Bill Murray a defensive tackle for them, not 34 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: the actor, and Stefan Gilmour, so they have three total 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: positives in New England. Obviously, we know Stefan Gilmore played 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs on Monday night and got precariously close 37 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: to Pat Mahomes after that game with a handshake and 38 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: a hug and so everybody in Chief's Kingdom is on 39 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: edge now, sweating that out to see what might come 40 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: to pass there. And then the Raiders, who, as we 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: all know, you saw me getting all hot and bothered 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: here last week about their irresponsible behavior going to a 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: charity event on a Monday night with no masks, indoors 44 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: with a hundred people they don't know. And even though 45 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: Maurice Hurst, who has the positive test for the Raiders 46 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: this morning, did not go to that event, he was 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: clearly exposed somewhere to someone. And now the Raiders are 48 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: on watch every single day going forward here. And Maurice Hurst, 49 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: for those that are wondering, played thirty five snaps against 50 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: the Bills on Sunday. He's a defensive lineman, clearly in 51 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: close proximity to guard center and guard for the Bills, 52 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: namely Mitch Morse, Cody Ford and Brian Winters. So no 53 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: positive tests here with the Bills, according to coach McDermott, 54 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: who spoke to the media about ten minutes ago. But 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: there is a lot to unpack here, Steve, and then 56 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I didn't even mention Titans. The other two positives for 57 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: the Titans. I can't even keep track of it all 58 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: kept clean for two days. They wake up this morning 59 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: they got another positive that gives him up to twenty 60 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: two positives, two types today that now they're up to twenty. 61 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: And now there's a Washington Post investigation where somebody is 62 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: alleging that the Titans, while they were locked out of 63 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: their building were getting together. The players were getting together 64 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: some plash with some park or something last week to 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: work out and stay sharp. Unauthorized. Authorized. So if any 66 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: of those guys were positive and they were all hanging 67 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: out together, I'm pretty sure they yeah. So well, the 68 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: reason that you get the rabbit hole, we're starting to 69 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: go all right. And obviously, with the two new positives 70 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: by the Titans today, it puts Sunday's game between the 71 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Bills and Titans incomplete jeopardy. Coach McDermott was asked a 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: series of questions about the prospects of this weekend's game, 73 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: how the team is reacting to the news down in Nashville. 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: He said, they're monitoring it closely. We will hear from 75 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: coach later this hour when we get a chance to 76 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: rerack a lot of the comments that he made regarding this, 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: but in essence, he basically said, we are closely monitoring it. 78 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: This is something that the league has to decide upon. 79 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: We are being mentally tough through the course of this week, 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: as our players know. For now, all we can control 81 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: is getting ready for a game that may or may 82 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: not be played, and they're going to leave it in 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: the league's hands to make the ultimate decision. Now, coach 84 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: was asked an interesting question. He was asked, is it possible, 85 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: if you as a team are uncomfortable playing this game 86 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: in light of what's happened in Tennessee, that you can 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: go to the league and say, hey, I got a 88 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: roster of fifty three guys and fifty one of them 89 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: don't want to play this team. They don't want to 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: risk exposure. Can the league take that into consideration in 91 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: making their decision? Coaches understanding is yeah, they can take 92 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: it into consideration, but it doesn't mean they're gonna cancel 93 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: the game. Right, So ultimately this lies at the league 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: level to decide on what to do with this game. 95 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: We'll have to see where it goes from here. The 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: bottom line is this, The Titans were hopeful after two 97 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: days of no new positives on Monday and Tuesday that 98 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: they be able to reopen the facility today, start practicing, 99 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and be ready for Sunday's game. The two new Positives 100 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: have completely turned over the Apple card on those plans. 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: They are not reopening today, so they are not practicing today. 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: So they are already at a disadvantage due to lack 103 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: of practice. They're at another disadvantage due to all the 104 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: players on their covid IR list, who presumably most of 105 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: which will not be available for Sunday's game. And then 106 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: on top of that, the game could result based on 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: this investigation that was first reported by The Washington Post, 108 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Post is reporting that the NFL's investigation involves 109 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: looking into reports and claims that the Titans players, while 110 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: locked out of their own facility last week, performed unauthorized practices. 111 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: Players only doing this on their own away from the facility. Now, 112 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: that is in clear violation of the protocols, because once 113 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: you have positives and your facility is shut down, the 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: protocols say everyone goes into quarantine. You are not supposed 115 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: to be out there exposing yourself to anyone, let alone 116 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: your fellow teammates. So, if it has proven beyond a 117 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt, that the Titans engaged in that activity, 118 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I would expect, Steve, that the Titans will be forced 119 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: to forfeit Sunday's game. That would be the punishment handed 120 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: down by the league. Because they just put out the 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: enhanced protocols this week, Steve, they brief the entire league 122 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: on Monday saying, hey, look, you guys can't stick to 123 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: the protocols like the Raiders. You can't stick to your protocols. 124 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: That's hold on that. That's this week. If they got 125 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: together the last week and the league is going, well, okay, 126 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: we didn't tell you this last week, but you shouldn't. 127 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: It's crazy to think that they that they would do 128 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: this and now they were all getting tested every day 129 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: and I'm taking it for granted, which is probably which 130 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: I think I can. If any of those guys test, 131 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: none of those guys that tested positive or hanging around 132 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: with anybody, these are all clares of test. But as 133 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: we all know, whether you're testing negative or not, you 134 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: can still be shedding the virus and have it waiting 135 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: for it to you know, manifest itself. Yeah, that's the 136 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: problem with this whole thing. So if but if here's 137 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: the thing, if you start going down the rabbit hole 138 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: and start having these teams forfeit and maybe, and I 139 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: get it too, Maybe that's the signal of the league 140 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: needs to get with some of these teams to say, listen, 141 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: if you do what the Titans did, you're forefeiting games. 142 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: Everybody's straight, now, that's what they said. They said you 143 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: either lose draft picks or your forfeit games. Those are 144 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: the two repercussions that the league handed down on Monday. 145 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: So if you don't stick to the protocols and adhere 146 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: to those, it's one of two options. You're losing draft 147 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: picks or you're forefeit in the game. It's not it's 148 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: not both options. Well, I don't it could be both. Sure, 149 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: I suppose it could be both. Yeah, those are the 150 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: two things. How do you decide which one? Do they 151 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: decided it is both? I'll have maybe it's it's one 152 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: of the other who picks which one it is? Yeah, 153 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: and it might be both. It might be both. I'll 154 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: have to go back and read the language. I don't know. 155 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is that the Tennessee Titans 156 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: are a mess. They look like a real mess right now. 157 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: And if particularly if these reports are two that they 158 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: got guys idiotically putting themselves at risk and others at risk, 159 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: each other at risk by going out in practicing like 160 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: this when when they're supposed to be quarantined. Oh my gosh, 161 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? I mean 162 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's yeah. The league is gonna the 163 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: league is gonna come down pretty hard on that. I 164 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: would probably assume you've got coaches that are getting fined 165 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: six figures just for dropping their mask down to their chin. Man, 166 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: oh man, they got twenty positives. There's a chance that 167 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: this could string along. They'll start getting getting guys off 168 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: the COVID list before they get everybody before they stopped 169 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: getting positive tests. Yeah, it's um. This is troubling, especially 170 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: after teams were explicitly told last week, hey, did you 171 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: see what the Raiders did, don't do that, And to 172 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: my knowledge, they got fined again. Players got fined who 173 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: were in attendance. And here's the thing, Maurice Hurst plays 174 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: in that game on Sunday. They're in an indoor stadium, 175 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: which I know is cavernous, and there's no fans. This 176 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: is the only thing I'm clinging to for hope. With 177 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: respect to the Bills level of exposure. Steve, this just 178 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: can't four minutes ago. Okay, Reporter Andy Slater, Miami Dolphins, 179 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening. Miami Dolphins have been 180 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: given clearance to go to a full capacity of sixty 181 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: five thousand set fans at hard Rock Stadium. Governor d 182 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: Santis spokesperson tells it says you're talking about Florida. Steve right, 183 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: the team though they said this team says though that 184 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: their current plan of thirteen thousand fans remains the same 185 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: for the next home game October twenty fifth. Oh my goodness, Yeah, 186 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: get up here. Well here's the But here's the only 187 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: thing that has me clinging to the least bit of 188 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: hope as it pertains to the Bills specifically, Steve, It's 189 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: clear to me that you could argue there was some 190 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: exposure of some kind from Maurice Hurst to the Bills 191 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday. Okay. My only hope is 192 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: that for the Bills it takes the same track as 193 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: it did for the Vikings. The Vikings played the Titans 194 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: last week in an indoor facility football game. The Titans 195 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: come down with you know, twenty positives in the span 196 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: of twelve days and counting, and fortunately the Vikings were unaffected. 197 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: Still no positives in Minnesota after playing the Titans. My 198 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: hope is the Bills can escape in much the same 199 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: fashion from what is presumed to be exposure from the 200 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: Raiders and Steve. You know, I had to hand this 201 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: show over to you for thirty seconds last week because 202 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: I was getting all upset about what the Raiders did 203 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: last week and how irresponsible it was. And this is why, 204 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: this is exactly why I got so angry last week, 205 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: because I knew the chances of something like this happening 206 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: became re once the Raiders did that. Just stupid, idiotic behavior. Yeah, 207 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy, and it's not getting better. I mean, 208 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the Titans are a mess, and right you know, it's 209 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: it's starting to mess with you know, as good as 210 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: season and good a prospective season as the Bills I've 211 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: ever had, and it's kind of it's got to be 212 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: multiple it's got to be multiple times more frustrating for 213 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: Bills fans right now to see this stuff happening. And 214 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: let's face it, the Vikings walked, the Raiders got one 215 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: guy tested positive who wasn't even at that And here's 216 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: the thing too, you hope he wasn't at that event. 217 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: You hope he got it somewhere else. Yeah, not from 218 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: his team, from his tea with him for the rest 219 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: of that week. They go to that event Monday night. Yeah, 220 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: so nothing hell masks a hundred people indoors and then 221 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: nobody's positive on Tuesday Wednesday, so they just go have 222 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: a normal practice week and the Bills have no positive 223 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: tests today. Right, that's what a current time, no positive tests, 224 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: which is good news. But we're only on what from Sunday. 225 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: We're getting the results this morning from Tuesday's tests, So 226 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: the incubation period conceivably only started late yesterday in terms 227 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: of being day two, and now you're on day three. 228 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: And look at this. I mean, we got a Titans 229 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: player showing up to the two Titans players showing up 230 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: positive today and they closed the doors on September twenty ninth, 231 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: that was eight days ago, and here it is eight 232 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: days the end of the incubation period. Although there are 233 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: some reports now that the incubation period can go anywhere 234 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: from two to ten days. So I don't know that 235 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: the other shoe is dropped yet for the Bills in 236 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: terms of what they could have been exposed to with 237 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: respect to the Raiders. So, and I'm telling you right now, 238 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: this is what got me so hot last week to 239 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: have someone some other team's irresponsible behavior deep six your 240 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: team season. I don't know if it gets any worse 241 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, yeah, everything to the letter over here, 242 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: And as coach McDermott said today, there is no perfect formula. 243 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: You cannot reduce the risk to zero. It's impossible. We 244 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: are all living in the COVID nineteen world. It's there. 245 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: It's the virus's world, and we're all living in it. Okay, 246 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: there are no guarantees, there is no way to reduce 247 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: the risk to zero. But if your team is following 248 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: stuff to the letter and doing everything right and you 249 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: get an outbreak because of some other team's irresponsible behavior, 250 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean I'm through the roof on that if I'm 251 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: a coach, especially a coach of a four and o team, 252 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: right and it's there's no like you said, there's no 253 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: perfect way to get through this. But you've everybody's got 254 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: to be pulling their own weight, and you have got 255 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: and I said, We've said it from the beginning, and 256 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: we thought we were doing pretty well through the first 257 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the sea I guess they were 258 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: doing pretty well through the first couple of weeks of 259 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: the season. But as these players get deeper into the 260 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: season and there's a fewer and fewer positive tests and 261 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: nobody's getting they start to go, Okay, you know what, 262 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna be good. We're gonna be good. And then 263 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, somebody, all you gotta do is, you know, 264 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: one person pops the balloon and then it spreads and 265 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: it's it's obvious, there's no there's no easy way around it, 266 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: and that we figured it would happen, and you know 267 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: what I got, This is kind of what we saw 268 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: coming Brownie. Let's not sugarcoat it. You knew if it happened, 269 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: it was gonna be something because somebody did something dumb 270 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: and the Raiders thing was dumb, and whatever else happened, 271 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: we don't know what it was. I mean, I can't 272 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: say that the Titans didn't do anything. We don't know. 273 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: We don't that Cam Newton, Steph Gilmore, Maurice Hurst, not 274 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: Maurice Hurst. Yeah that's right. Yeah, Maurice Hurst out in 275 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders. You don't know what you don't know. But 276 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: here's the thing. All you see all these people doing 277 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: silly stuff and they don't get it. Then you see 278 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: somebody who's trying to live by the and they do. 279 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: That's the unfair part about the whole thing, and alone 280 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: the aftermath of the teams that, like, you know, the 281 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills sitting here at four and no ready to 282 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: play the Titans. Then the Chiefs are sitting here and 283 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like now they're left 284 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: holding the bag. Each of Buffalo's next three opponents could 285 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: have an issue. The Patriots just played the Chiefs on 286 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: Monday night. The Chiefs could turn up positives in the 287 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: next couple of days. We don't know the Titans, we 288 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: know that situation, and then they've got the Jets, who 289 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: are free and clear right now, but after that the Patriots. 290 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: So three of Buffalo's next four opponents are arguably in 291 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: this risk pool right now. Two of them definitively are 292 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: in the risk pool because they have positives already. The 293 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs could be the next one, and then the Bills 294 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: could be another one after that because of their exposure 295 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. So the worst case scenario, well I 296 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: shouldn't say it's the worst case scenario, but a poor 297 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: scenarios has developed here as a result of irresponsible behavior 298 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: in part, and that's part of our Twitter poll with 299 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: regard to this weekend's game, specifically between the Bills and 300 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: the Titans. Put on your NFL hat today you are 301 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: the league office. Okay, So if you're in the league office, 302 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: your commission, what is your solution if the Bills Titans 303 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: game can't be played this week? So let's just assume 304 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: Bills Titans is off this week. What are you doing 305 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: with that game? A? Have the Bills play the Broncos 306 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: and have the Titans and Pats sit out this week. 307 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: The Patriots are supposed to play the Broncos this week, 308 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: and obviously the Titans are supposed to play the Bills. 309 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Have those two teams with positives sit out and have 310 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: the Bills play the Broncos and move their Week fifteen 311 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 1: game up. That's choice A choice b Titans should have 312 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: to forfeit, Choyce c adjust the schedule to make the 313 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: game up later in the season, or something else. So 314 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. 315 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: We also will take your calls at eight oh three, 316 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: five fifty. We have Corey online one joining us. Corey, 317 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Sir? Thanks for getting 318 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: on the show here. I have a question about this 319 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: whole situation, with this whole COVID nineteen thing. First of all, 320 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: we have Tennessee Titans. Twenty other players are tested positive 321 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: for the COVID nineteen. We just had just just had 322 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: like last week, not even a week, the guy defensive 323 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: tackle got COVID nineteen. And I feel honestly that they 324 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: should just forfeit the game. Why should we go to 325 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: Tennessee with all our players and get the COVID, Like 326 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: we shouldn't even have to go ahead and reschedule the 327 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: game with them. That's their responsibility for knowing the protocols. 328 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: And on top of that, like this is ridiculous, You're 329 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: gonna have our quarterbacks m Josh Allen is MVP candidate 330 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: angle exposed to him to that, like it's ridiculous. Where 331 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, Like we shouldn't have to that's their 332 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: responsibility as NFL players to follow the protocol of what 333 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: we suffer. Well, let me ask you this though, Cory. 334 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: What if it's discovered that the Titans acted under the 335 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: letter of the law to a t and did not 336 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: commit any infractions with respect to the protocols. What if 337 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: they did everything right and still got COVID. Where do 338 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: you stand then? Do they still forfeit for you? Well, 339 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: that's like to me, no, Well, actually yes, you should 340 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: forfeit because there's simple effect, what happened prior to a 341 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: week before? A week before? They should have some kind 342 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: of evidence proof of Well, how do they get this? 343 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: That's the thing, a concrete How do they get to 344 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: a concrete like? You have to like, why should we 345 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: suffer because of them? Because let's say we postponed the 346 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: game and reschedule it. What has been Then when we 347 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: get to the game, like say week fifteen, there's thirty 348 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: more players. There's thirty players. How did this for COVID? 349 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: Then when do you say, yeah, well, there's no way 350 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: to predict the future with this. People have been trying 351 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: to do that with COVID to begin with, all across 352 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: the country, and even the best medical experts can't do that. 353 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: You're right, and that's the problem. You can't prove how 354 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: you got it, and you can't. You can't show evidence 355 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: how you got it. You can't show you know, there's 356 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: no trail except for contact tracing. And once you get 357 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: out of the outside, the people who have been contact traced, 358 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: you don't know where they got it or brought it 359 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: in from. You don't know whether it was a contact 360 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: hand to hand count like a contact physical physical contact 361 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: where you touched a door knob after somebody with COVID 362 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: touched the door knob, or if it's you know, inhaling 363 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: particles that somebody breathed on you without wearing a mask. 364 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: There's no way of knowing. And that's a real problem. 365 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: And that's why all these protocols are so inconvenient, because 366 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: you got to take precautions with for a virus that 367 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: nobody can see and nobody can detect. Corey, thanks for 368 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: the call. We did have to move along. We're gonna 369 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: go to Travis and cheek da Waga. Travis, what do 370 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: you have for thanks for joining us? Hey, thank you. Hey. 371 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: I was gonna go with choice b Titans have to 372 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: forfeit because if the Broncos get moved up and let's 373 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: say we do it, we did have exposure because of 374 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders game. Well, now we just passed it along 375 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: to the Broncos and it's just it's just a crumbling instructure. 376 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: That that's why I think, because they did not follow protocol, 377 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: that they have to forfeit the game, and I think 378 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: they should give up the draft picks as well. And 379 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: as a Bills fan, I'm mad. This is this is 380 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: really there's a lot of other words. I can't he's 381 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: on the radio, but right, I'm mad. This is really, 382 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, this is something else. Guys, Yeah, it stinks. 383 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: It does stink, particularly for a fan base like Buffaloes 384 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: who's had to wait a long time for a team 385 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: like this to show up. Right and then, and you're 386 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: right too, it's not just about the Buffalo Bills and 387 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: our great season. It's about the Buffalo Bills and the 388 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: team they have to play after they play the Titans 389 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: in the Kansas City Chiefs, and then it's Denver and 390 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: then it's you know, go down the list and the Titans. 391 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: I mean, first it was the Steelers and they got 392 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: that game fixed. They're gonna put that game later, and thing, well, now, 393 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do. They can't get it together. 394 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: They can't stay sequestered, they can't stay apart. And this 395 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: is another thing. If it comes out that those players 396 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: were getting together outside their building like it's been reported, 397 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: they have the hammer. Those guys, they can forfeit the 398 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: rest of the season. You can kick him out of 399 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: the club. That's just dumb, and they got to drop 400 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: the hammer on him if they find that they were 401 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: in violation last week. You know, because away from the facility. 402 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: From the facility, I don't believe they're not wearing the 403 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 1: contact tracers, so you can't even trace, you know, how 404 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: close they were to each other outside of the facility, 405 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: which may have given them the impetus to say, hey, 406 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: nobody can trace us away from the facility, let's just 407 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: go practice on our own, which has got to be 408 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I can possibly imagine when you're supposed 409 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: to be quarantining after potential exposure from fellow teammates. So 410 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too, I would have a hard 411 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: time believing that the coaching staff didn't know that was happening. Well, 412 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there. The actions are are the 413 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: main issue, and if they prove those actions happened, drop 414 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: an anvil on that team. I'm sorry, drop an Anville. 415 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we 416 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: come back, we'll have some comments from coach McDermott on 417 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: this very subject he spoke to the media just last hour. 418 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: We'll get out to Maddie glab on the practice field 419 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: around twelve forty five or so, and at one o'clock 420 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: we'll have Titan's radio color analyst, Blame Bishop, former Titan 421 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: strong safety, who will undoubtedly have a lot to say 422 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: about what's going on down in Tennessee. All of that 423 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: coming your way along with your phone calls here on 424 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

So stay tuned at 430 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty. But we wanted to 431 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: get some comments from coach McDermot, who just spoke to 432 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: the media last hour and addressed what is going on 433 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: with the Titans. So here is coach on how he 434 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: and the Bills organization is monitoring the COVID nineteen situation 435 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: down in Tennessee. We're aware of the situation. We are 436 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: monitoring the situation as well, VIC, and certainly it's the 437 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: situation that we take seriously. That said, and there is 438 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: obviously the human side to this and making sure everyone 439 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: is healthy, and that is our as we focus on 440 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: us here and at the Buffalo Bills and our building. 441 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: That is that has always been our number one goal, 442 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: is the safety and wellbeing of our of our employees 443 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: and our staff and our players. That said, you know, 444 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: because of the nature of where things are coming from 445 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: in terms of our opponent in Tennessee this week with 446 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: their situation, you know, it's important that we focus on 447 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: the pieces that we can control. UM, and that for 448 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: us is is aim making sure that we're doing things 449 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: right here with the protocols and then be that we 450 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: had a good we could practice leading up to the game. 451 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Coach was also asked about the possibility of the game 452 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: not being played on Sunday and how he would react 453 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: to that. So here's his answer there. Yeah, I think 454 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: that's real. UM. You know, that's a real UM obviously 455 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: situation and you know, like I said, how we are 456 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: monitoring it as closely as we can from from from 457 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: here um, and we have to be, as I said before, 458 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: responsible and continue to gather information so that we can, 459 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: as I said before, put the health and well being 460 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: of our people in our building at the top of 461 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: our priority list. We have a lot of trust and 462 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: faith in the league and uh. And so you know, 463 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: after saying that, it's a what can we control? And 464 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: that's really where our focus is right now is making 465 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: sure that we are doing everything we can to follow 466 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: the protocols and everything right on our end, and then 467 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: on the field is making sure our focus is on 468 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: us growing as a football team. So that's the task 469 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: at hand here, Steve. Nothing's been decided on Sunday's game, 470 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: So until told otherwise, these guys gotta get ready for 471 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, you got to continue to go and 472 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: control what you can control, be ready to play. And 473 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: I mean there's if this was something else. I mean, 474 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: you could say, hey, you're gonna play the You're gonna 475 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: play the whoever it is. They're Tennessee Titans this Sunday. 476 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna play the Chiefs next sat. You know, they'll 477 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: move these games you're gonna play the Chiefs Saturday, or 478 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna play the game on Tuesday, and you're gonna 479 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: play the Chiefs on Friday or Saturday or something, whatever 480 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: you could. They're gonna do whatever they can. The Bills 481 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: can also speak up, no question about it. But the 482 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: league didn't have to listen, and they won't if they 483 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: don't want to. So the Bills have got to just 484 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: get ready to play. And there's a there's a thing 485 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: out there now where if you put the Broncos game. 486 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: Let the Bills play the Bronchos this week and the 487 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: Titans and Patriots sit right, then what happens is the 488 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: Bills play the Chiefs on Thursday because the Chiefs we're 489 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: supposed to play the Bronchos this weekend. Is that correct? 490 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: No Chiefs are supposed to play the Raiders. Chiefs are 491 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: gonna play the radios problem because both Chiefs arguably have 492 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: been exposed. My head, the Raiders may have a problem, 493 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: so that game may not go off either. My head 494 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: hurts because the ripple effects of this thing are unbelievable. 495 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,479 Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. Particularly it's got a ripple, it's a tsunami. Right, 496 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing, because everything's intertwined because the teams that 497 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: the Bills are playing are the exact same Most of 498 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: them are the same as were who the Patriots are 499 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: playing and everybody else. So all the the AFC West 500 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: and NFC West teams are the on the Bill schedule. 501 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: They're on the same schedule as the Patriots, Dolphins, Jets. Yeah, 502 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: but all these impacted teams are AFC teams too, right, 503 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: And yeah, the Vikings got off Scott Free Vikings are out. 504 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: And you know, now the Pittsburgh Steelers have been affected, 505 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: although they haven't been come in contact with any of 506 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: the affected teams, their schedule was if their schedules affected 507 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: hardly though, And all those teams Titans, Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, 508 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: Patriots and now Bills potentially potentially. Yeah, yeah, it's it's terrible. 509 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: One more head hurt. One more comment from coach McDermot 510 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: before we get back to the phone calls. Here he 511 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: addressed what is a weekly problem that to this point 512 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: has not resulted in punishment handed down from the league. 513 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: We hear about the mask violations on the sidelines, and 514 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: how to teams have been fined for that but after 515 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: the game, players shaking hands, hugging, not observing social distancing. 516 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: Nobody's got masks on greeting each other at the end 517 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: of the game, which is a common practice in the 518 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: league and over the years, is you know, trying to 519 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: show a sign of respect. I saw coach McDermott and 520 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Coach Gruden just fist bump last week, which is certainly 521 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: better than a handshake, So good on them for that. 522 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,239 Speaker 1: But did you read Bill Belichick just kind of bumped elbows, right, 523 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: And we've seen and we've seen the photos already. After 524 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: it was reported that Stefan Gilmour tested positive for coronavirus today, 525 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: he hugged Pat Mahomes after the game on Monday night. 526 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: So now Chief's kingdom is on edge, worried that their 527 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: star quarterback could be exposed because of that. So coach 528 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: was asked about that today, you know this common greeting 529 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: after games between players and why there are no repercussions 530 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: even though the league has spelled it out saying please 531 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: do not engage in that kind of behavior. Here's Coach's answer. Well, again, 532 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: I think it's awareness, right, awareness and trying to improve 533 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: our practices, and uh, I mean even for myself. So 534 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, I go to midfield and shake the opponent, 535 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, the other coach's hand, and it's always been 536 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: a sign of respect, right and so, but just like 537 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: a lot of our habits have had had been adjusted 538 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: with COVID, that is something that that I know I'm considering, 539 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: not that I wouldn't do it, but you know, maybe 540 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: just be in and out rather quick if we had to. 541 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: And so it's just trying to improve our daily habits 542 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: and our daily process to make sure that we do 543 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: try and stays as healthy as possible. All right, let's 544 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: go back to the phones as we are asking you 545 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll today, if you are the league, 546 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: what's your solution if the Bills Titans game can't be 547 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: played this week? You can either way in at one 548 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: Bill's Live on the tweet cheater, you can give us 549 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: a call at ETO three five fifty. Let's go to 550 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: Joe and Gloria. Joe, what do you have for us? 551 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining the show? Hey, how many thanks for 552 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: taking my call here the number one Raft Show on 553 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: w G You guys are really awesome. Actually incitement when 554 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: the former football player appreciate that ide I appreciate it. Um, 555 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time disciplining the textings. You 556 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: have the three choices when you do reschedule the game, 557 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: uh play Denver or you know, uh Tennessee forfeit. You 558 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: have a hard time disciplining. Because they can not discipline 559 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: the Raiders. It'll be a lot easier to just force 560 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: them to forfeit the game as punishment. You know, if 561 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: you had disciplined the Raiders, you know, possibly uh making 562 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: them forfeit. Yeah, I have some form of discipline should 563 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: have been dropped on the Raiders for doing what they did. Well, 564 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: they did find the players, so that was done, Joe, 565 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: and we got to move along. So thanks for the call. 566 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: They did find the players that attended that event, um 567 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: last week. That was done. Um. And then they enacted 568 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: stricter protocols to make it clear that that kind of 569 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: stuff cannot happen. And if it does, you're running the 570 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: risk of losing draft picks and forefeitting games. That's the 571 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: size of it. Steve. The way I look at this 572 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: is what is the safest choice in this Twitter poll? Okay, 573 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: to me, the safest choice is having the Titans forfeit. 574 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: Have them forfeit the game because that way, you take 575 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: the Titans risk out of the equation this week, and 576 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: you take the Bills risk out of the equation if 577 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: it comes to pass that they were in fact exposed 578 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: by the Raiders, because what the heck happened with the 579 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: Raiders here, they went to that event Monday night, right, 580 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: nobody tests positive all through the week, you get through 581 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: the Sunday game, you get all the way to Wednesday 582 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: of the next week, then you get a positive. Who's 583 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: to say that can't happen to the Bills now based 584 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: on their exposure to the Raiders, and you don't, Well, 585 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: that's the thing. You almost get to the point where 586 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't because of the event a week ago Monday 587 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: that the guy got COVID. It was something else outside 588 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: the protocols. That's what you'll never You'll never know. And 589 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: I um, here's the problem as well, if you're going 590 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: to forfeit the Tennessee game because the Bills might be 591 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: exposed to what the Raiders went through. Now the Chiefs 592 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: games in jeopardy on Thursdays, Yeah, it is because it's 593 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: falls in the incubation. It falls in the incubation period. 594 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: So that now you're you're hitting your your beating, assuming 595 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: you get positives, if you would have to get positives, 596 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: and then you have an issue three five fifty to 597 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: join us. But we have to take a break right now. 598 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: When we come back, we will get a report from 599 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: the practice field where there is you know, it's some 600 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: injury news that's not so good and some encouraging news, 601 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: and Maddie Glab will break it all down for us 602 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: when we return. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by 603 00:33:43,960 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, 604 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, One Mill's Live motoring through hour number one 605 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: of the program. Here on a Wednesday, and time to 606 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: head out to the practice field. Now a very windy 607 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: practice field today. Wind gusts expected to be up to 608 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: around thirty to thirty five miles per hour, which is 609 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: going to make the passing game difficult for the players 610 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: on offense, to say the least. And fortunately Maddie who's 611 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: out at the practice field right now, is not wearing 612 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: a hat, otherwise it would be halfway down the field. Maddie, 613 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: can you hear us? I can hear you, guys. I 614 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: am literally gonna get blown away. Out here. I'm like 615 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: all hurt here and so this wind is rocket you 616 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: back in stort. Not that fun, but I'm glad it's 617 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: not raining. It feels like there's gonna be a tornado. 618 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: HUDs just Western New York lender for you. All right, Mattie, 619 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: I want you to plant your feet and tell us 620 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: what's going on with the offensive line. All right, I 621 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: can do that. So how'd it go down the offensive 622 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: line to kind of check out who was out there? 623 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: I see Brian Winter's out there. He is a jersey rollout, 624 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: so with Sasha identify him at first. He came out 625 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: of the game last week against the Raiders with a 626 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: right knee injury. He looks to be good. He's in 627 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: a white jersey, no red jersey for him. And someone 628 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: who we haven't seen practicing in quite some time is 629 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: John Poligiano, who was shut on the IR with that 630 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: tech injuries. He is back practicing today in what capacity 631 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: is not exactly sure. Sean McDermott said he would be 632 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: on the field. He's in a white jersey, no red 633 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: contact jersey or red non contact jersey for him. So 634 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: that's good to see. Their guards are individual drill out 635 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: right now, and it doesn't look like he's been limited 636 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: in any way. And then one offensive lineman who we 637 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: don't see out there today is Cody Ford. He was 638 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: distressed in street clothes and was on the bike for 639 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, was out on the field, and I 640 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: do not see him right now, so he might have 641 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: gone in side for treatment. He was not listed on 642 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: an injury or part after the game or didn't come 643 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: out during the game or anything like that, So we'll 644 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: see what the injury report says layer today with his 645 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: status okay. And then we knew that Levi Wallace was 646 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: not going to practice today based on the fact that 647 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: coach said, you know, he's week to week with that 648 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: ankle injury, and he wasn't going to do anything today. 649 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: But there's some there's another defensive back who you do 650 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: not see out on the practice field today, right. Yeah, 651 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: So we knew Levi Wallace wasn't going to be out 652 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 1: there due to that injury that he suffered during the 653 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: Raiders game that left ankle injury. Someone who I was 654 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: surprised to not see out here is Tredavious White. I 655 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: was not out here for stretch, so I'm not sure 656 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: if he was out here during stretch, got out here 657 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: a little bit late today, but I do not see 658 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: him on the field anywhere, so not sure what is 659 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: up with him. Again. We will get that injury employ 660 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: this afternoon, which was probably well, do know this that 661 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: Davis was scheduled to speak with the media after practice, 662 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: and unless that's changed, we'll probably get a chance to 663 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 1: ask him face to face what or zoom to zoom 664 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: what his uh? What the reason was? Any other notable 665 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: any other notable absentees, Maddie, Well, we do know Matt 666 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: Milano is not at practice today. That is somebody who 667 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: went out during the Raiders game with that tech injury. 668 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: And Sean McDermott really told us that it's gonna be 669 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 1: week to week now for Milano instead of day today, 670 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: So he's not out here. I do see the other 671 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 1: linebackers out here, so he is one of the guys 672 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: who's missing from that group. Cool Beasley went out during 673 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: the game with a foot injury. He did come back in. 674 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: He's out here practicing per usual as normal. I think 675 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: Maddie froze up on us there on the call. That 676 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: is what kind of lost that. Yeah, that's the arrow 677 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: we are living in now another reason to hate COVID. 678 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, honest to God, I'm just so done with 679 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: this whole thing. Can we just pack up COVID and 680 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: like rocketed into outer space somewhere, just send it into 681 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: a black hole Here's like God, can be done with 682 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: it all you want, but it's gonna leave when it's 683 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: ready to leave. And even function around here, I know it. 684 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: Caman can't even get a practice hit. Frustrating, I can't, 685 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm exasperated with it. Yeah, I've 686 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: tried to be patient with this. You know, everybody rallied 687 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: together and kind of work on this together, fight it 688 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: together this day and the other. But man, it is 689 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: getting old old with a capital Oh. I'm at my 690 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: wits end. Steve Ye, just trying to do our jobs here, 691 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: all right. We appreciate Maddie giving us the news that 692 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: she did to this point, and the offensive line, Steve 693 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: is going to be a very interesting thing to watch 694 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: through the course of this week because Cody Ford is 695 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: not out there. Brian Winters is out there. It didn't 696 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: look like he was doing a whole lot. And those 697 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 1: are your two starting guards, at least for the last 698 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 1: two weeks. Obviously, you have Quentin Spain at your disposal, 699 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: who you know is healthy and good to plug in 700 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: if one of those guys can't go. But if both 701 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: cannot go, is John Feliciano ready to step back into 702 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: the starting lineup. I don't know if we can say that. 703 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: After three practices this week, assuming he participates, and and 704 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 1: presumably today they're gonna ease him back in. He's probably 705 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: gonna be limited. Just ten weeks removed from pectoral muscle service. 706 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: That doesn't bother me. The guys that aren't on the 707 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: injured list, that aren't practicing don't really bob They don't 708 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: scare me. The Bills do this, We've seen him do 709 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: it regularly. Well, you're talking about and even Cody Ford, Um, 710 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: you know so uh And it may be some of 711 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: these and you know John Feliciano, who knows what his 712 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: limitations are or what his problems are. But until you 713 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: can ask him specifically about these guys, I think the 714 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: ones we know about. I was surprising happy that Cole 715 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: Beasley's on the UH is not injured. He's been dealing 716 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: with a couple of things. A foot injury for a 717 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: wide out is tough. You may as well chop your 718 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: leg off, um, because that's all you do is run, 719 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: and if you can't do that, it's hard to be 720 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: a You may as well sit on the bench and 721 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: put your feet up. I was glad to see that 722 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: John Brown came through last week's game. Okay, as we know, 723 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: he was dealing with a calf issue through the early 724 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: parts of last week, but then practiced more and more 725 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: as the week went on and got through the whole game. Okay. 726 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: Beasley the previous week was dealing with the hip injury 727 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: before the Rams game, got through that game, got some treatment, 728 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: and then had a foot injury, as Steve mentioned, got 729 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: through that week and got through last week's game and 730 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: is out there on the practice field. So kudos to 731 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: the athletic training staff for getting these guys healed up 732 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,720 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later and getting them back to normal. 733 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: But we go back to the phones now at eight fifty, 734 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: as we are asking you on the tweet sheet, if 735 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 1: you are the league and the game between the Bills 736 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: and the Titans cannot be played on Sunday, what is 737 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: your solution? Eight O three, five fifty, We go to 738 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: Tom on the west side. Tom what do you have 739 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining the show. Good afternoon, guys, 740 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: and thanks you bet said. I agree with the foot 741 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: injury that you just commented on, and they are very 742 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: hard to come back from. Sammy Watkins had one. He's 743 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job. But anyway, as far as the COVID, 744 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 1: I believe that Tennessee should have to forfeit the game 745 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: and that's gonna wake everybody up realizing that if they 746 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 1: don't follow the protocol, it's gonna cost them games, time 747 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: and money. Hey Tom, what do you think about this? 748 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: We've gotten a couple of things. What would you say 749 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: about the the NFL? Everybody pausing the season for two weeks? 750 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: I think you could do that only if you extend 751 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: the season though, right, That's what I mean, just pausing it, 752 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: picking it right up where they left off, and say 753 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: a week from this Sunday, Right, Well, then you can 754 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: potentially be playing the super Bowl, and what comes after 755 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 1: February March? You can be playing the super Bowl on March, right, 756 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: That is correct? Another point, I do have another point, 757 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: you could have done the season. I could see him 758 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,439 Speaker 1: doing that to get it under control. What about what's 759 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: your other point? The other point that I brought up 760 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: with your call screener, and he disagreed with me. The 761 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, if you look at the statistics 762 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: of the game, the Bill seem to be losing in 763 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: most all categories except points scored. And I'm wondering if 764 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: that's going to be a big concern moving forward. What 765 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: categories are you looking at? Yards per game, first down's, 766 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: time of possession? You mean they're losing those into each 767 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: individual game that they play in. Yeah, oh, I can see, 768 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: I got you. Well, I'm gonna say this more passing error. Yeah, 769 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 1: I meant part of the reason why is at least 770 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: in last week's game they were scoring with tremendous efficiency. 771 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: The first couple of weeks they had long eleven twelve 772 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: play scoring drives. Last week they had one for five plays. 773 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: They're in the end zone. You're not gonna have as 774 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,479 Speaker 1: many plays. You may not have as many yards her play, 775 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: but I think we'd all take the victory and the 776 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: most important category for statistics, which is points, right. Yeah, Well, 777 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: it brings us back to the k gun, where the 778 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: k gun would score so fast that the other team 779 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: would get the ball back and they'd be the ones 780 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: running the clock. Yeah, here's the thing, Tom, I wouldn't 781 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: worry too much about the ancilliary statistics like time of possession, 782 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: first down's, yards passing and all of that, because until 783 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: those statistics are part of a concerted effort in a 784 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: game plan, like, for instance, you want to run the 785 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: ball to keep somebody off the field, or if you 786 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: want to, you want to try and get eleven or 787 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: twelve paid play drives, or like at the end of 788 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: the game when the Bills last week, when they kind 789 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: of started to hand it off and started to play 790 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: for that last field goal and start to use the 791 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: clock against the Raiders. You know, don't get too caught 792 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: up in the in those statistical things about you know, 793 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: not winning time a possession or not you know, yards 794 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: per play or that kind of thing, because all of 795 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: that stuff is a symptom of what they're trying to 796 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: get done in every given moment, and that moment, the 797 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: needs of the team and the desires and the plan 798 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: of the team is different in any given situation depending 799 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: on what has happened up to that point. So, yeah, 800 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 1: you think think about statistics going forward, don't don't think 801 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and I think that they're doing that. 802 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're giving that a second thought. No, 803 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: when they're hanging thirty points in right, let's go to 804 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: Ethan and Lancaster at eight o three five fifty Ethan, 805 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining the show? Hey, 806 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: thank you. How's it going, guys? Good? Good? Um? I 807 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: smant to know how you guys would feel if Italians 808 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: were to forfeit the game and give us the win, Like, 809 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: how you guys would feel, and how it would affect 810 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: Dafel for us this season. I'm a bum I'd be 811 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: bummed out if they did that. I mean, I get it, 812 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: it's a it's a free win and all that night. Okay, yeah, 813 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: the Bills benefit and it breaks their way and wadda 814 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: wadda yadda YadA. Yeah, I'm kind of bummed because I 815 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: think it sets a bad precedent. I think it it 816 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: throws a rock in the middle of a really nice season. 817 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: And quite frankly, we're football fans because we want to 818 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 1: see the games, right I don't. I mean I don't 819 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: want to sit back here and say, oh, okay, you 820 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 1: guys win, go ahead, like yeah, I want to see 821 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: our team play. That's why I'm a fan. I like, 822 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: I want to see the games. I don't want to, 823 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: you know, just decide they got punished so we won 824 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, yeah, we benefit like this week, 825 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: but we get penalized because we don't get to see 826 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: these two teams play. I want to see the Bills 827 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: take those guys on Tennessee fans, right right. I'll say 828 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: this though, Steve, I could see the league forcing a 829 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: team to forfeit before I see this league putting the 830 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: season on pause. If we think about everything this league 831 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: has done from the time that the COVID outbreak happened 832 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: in this country, what have they made sure they have 833 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,720 Speaker 1: done every step of the way stay on schedule, stay 834 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: on schedule, the draft, training camp, the start of the 835 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: regular season, free agency, free agency. When they thought they 836 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,879 Speaker 1: were gonna get crushed for doing free agency and people 837 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: thought they were tone deaf, they have stuck to staying 838 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 1: on schedule as priority number one. I think the last 839 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: resort is putting this season on pause. I'm not saying 840 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: that's the right decision, but if you go based on 841 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: how this league has handled every decision they've had to 842 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: make with regard to COVID and their calendar. They have 843 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: stayed on schedule, Brownie. That's a fantastic point. I don't 844 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: know whether they've got other reasons for doing that, but 845 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: you're right. They took a lot of heat back in 846 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: February when they started free agency. Remember that, people were like, oh, 847 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: they're tone deaf, they're crazy, and it went off without 848 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: a hitch. The draft, same thing, virtual draft, no doubt, 849 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: but it was on schedule on the day it was 850 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: schedule to be. Now training camp, they've compromised, no question 851 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: about it. In the run up to it, they preseason, 852 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: no preseason and all of that that. You know that, 853 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: but the season when when September thirteenth rolled around, they 854 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: were on it. They will move whatever I think pieces 855 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: around that they have to. That's a really crucial point 856 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: that you made. I don't know that it carries that much. 857 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: You know that, you know this isn't different than that. 858 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: But you're right. They've ground ahead and gone and they've 859 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: now they've made they shuffled the Steelers Titans game. Okay, 860 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: and they'll do it again, I think and before they 861 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: again take that step. But that's but but pulling the 862 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: plug on the whole thing for two weeks and just 863 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: hitting the pause button for two weeks. That's hard. That's 864 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 1: that's a that's a bit. I don't see him doing 865 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: that's a big move. Yeah, I don't see him doing it. 866 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 1: I think you. I think you'd need more than half 867 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: the teams in the league to have COVID positive situations 868 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: before they even consider that. Yeah, it'd be it'd be 869 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: a bigger it might be a bigger number between or 870 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 1: a number between what we have now with positive tests, 871 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 1: where we got three teams, the Patriots, three teams with 872 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: confirmed positives, the Patriots, the Raiders, and the Titans. Yes, 873 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: and I think you'd have to get to a point 874 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: where you could really infer even if you don't have 875 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 1: hard evidence, really infer that bang bang bang, those three 876 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: teams infected three other teams. Then if you had that, 877 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, say whoops, okay, hold on 878 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: a second, then you could see pausing. And that's the 879 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: number one thing that we should point out to this 880 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: point that hasn't happened. We have not had to this 881 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: point team to team transmission. The Titans did not transmit 882 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: anything to the Vikings. They did not get one positive 883 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: And I think if well, what do they have to 884 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: do they have to get to No, they should be 885 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: in the clear now because it's Wednesday. What are we 886 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: ten days removed from that game? So they don't have 887 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: any positives tomorrow in Minnesota? I think they are free 888 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: and clear. There was no team to team transmission. Now 889 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 1: the next the next couple of tests are coming up. Here. 890 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: Did the Bills sustain any team to team transmission from 891 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: the Raiders knowing Maurice Hurst is positive and he played 892 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 1: thirty five snaps in last Sunday's game? And did the 893 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs suffer any team to team transmission from the Patriots 894 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: in the Monday night game? Now, those are the next 895 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: two things on the docket here that the league is 896 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: going to be paying close attention when they report this 897 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: as a positive test. Is it already positive positive? Or 898 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: has it been checked for a false positive? You know 899 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 1: what I mean? To my knowledge. As soon as they 900 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: test positive, now, they then take the point of care 901 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 1: test to corroborate the positive, which comes back in fifteen minutes. 902 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: So they take the first PCR test, which takes an 903 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,919 Speaker 1: eighteen hour turnaround. They walk into the facility this morning, 904 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: Maurice Hurst is positive. Okay, don't let him in the building. 905 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: Give him the point of care test right now. We'll 906 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: make sure he's positive. Wait fifteen minutes, he's still positive, 907 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: all right, you gotta go home quarantine. And that's it. 908 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm so. It is a confirmed positive, right, 909 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: So there you go, and that's you know, and that's 910 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 1: this is a kind of thing too, And I don't 911 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: want to go down the dark road here, but think 912 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,240 Speaker 1: about Marise Hursts, a big defensive tackle. Of the sixty 913 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: nine players around the National Football League that opted out, 914 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 1: almost if not full, half of them fifty thirty of 915 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 1: them thirty plus were heavy guys, big dudes. They were 916 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, defensive line, but mostly defensive tackles. And for 917 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: good reason, because the medic at that time when you 918 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,879 Speaker 1: had to opt out a couple of months ago, guys 919 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 1: were thinking to listen if you if a heavy guy 920 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: goes on a ventilator, it could it's a coin flip 921 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: that it's curtains right, and there that's a comorbid heaviness. 922 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: Being overweight is a co morbidity that puts you at risk. 923 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: Maurice Hurst has a heart condition, right, so he has 924 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 1: pre existing underlying conditions that put him at risk. So 925 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:03,320 Speaker 1: that that changes the conversation to me, does it not 926 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 1: well for Maurice Hurst? It's certainly absolutely that guy. That 927 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: guy has got to be sitting at home sweat and bullets. Yep, 928 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,840 Speaker 1: because that you know, you don't know that it's not 929 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: a death sentence for your teammates. It's no joke, man, nooke, 930 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: It is no joke. We should also mention this isn't 931 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 1: the only news that the league is dealing with. They've 932 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: got a Monday night game between the Saints and who 933 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: is it? Who are they playing? The Saints and hold 934 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: on Saints and the Chargers, which is supposed to take 935 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 1: place down in New Orleans. For those that aren't paying 936 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 1: attention to the weather, Hurricane Delta is going right at 937 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: the Louisiana Delta. It's pointed straight at New Orleans. And 938 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 1: so now there is discussion that that game will be 939 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 1: moved to a neutral site, and Lucas Oil Stadium in 940 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 1: Indianapolis is the proposed destination of that game. So what 941 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: I think the only thing we are we don't have 942 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: right now is the horde of locusts waiting on the locusts. 943 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: We've got you know, floods and hurricanes. We've got you know, 944 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 1: airborne diseases. All we need is the horde of damn 945 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 1: locusts to come through, and we got everything. Holy cow. 946 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break. Steve and 947 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: I will be back and we'll get to your phone 948 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: calls in time here, folks, so we appreciate you hanging 949 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: on at eight O three five fifty. But coming up 950 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 1: next after the break, we have Blaine Bishop from the 951 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: Titans Radio Network, the former strong safety, who is gonna 952 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,839 Speaker 1: have a few things to say I think about how 953 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: this has all transpired down there in Nashville. He'll be 954 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 1: up next when we return here on One Bill's Live, 955 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio 956 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: Falo Bills Radio Network Sports Update. You're a sports update 957 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. The Bills back on the practice 958 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 1: field and some good news. John Feliciano is back practice 959 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 1: for the first time this season after undergoing pectoral muscle 960 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 1: surgery in early August. He remains on IR at this 961 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 1: point in time. Not practicing on Buffalo's offensive line, however, 962 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: is Cody Ford. Brian Winters is out at practice. Will 963 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: know more about his participation level when the injury report 964 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: is released later this afternoon. He left last week's game 965 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: with a right knee injury and did not return. Also 966 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 1: not practicing today, Levi Wallace, Tredavious White, and Matt Milano. 967 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: Coach McDermott called Wallace and Milano week to week with 968 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: their respective injuries. The hope for a reopened facility in 969 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee is now on hold after additional positive COVID tests. 970 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: Two Titans players tested positive this morning. The news comes 971 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: after two straight days of all negative tests out of Nashville, 972 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 1: with the Titans hoping to return to the facility and 973 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: prep for Sunday's game against the Bills, but that is 974 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: not happening. The latest positives also put Sunday's game against 975 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo in doubt, and a report from Mark Maski from 976 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: the Washington Post said that part of the investigation by 977 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: the NFL and the Players Association into the Titans outbreak 978 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: deals with compliance with protocols concerning whether or not some 979 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: Tennessee players gathered on their own away from the team 980 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 1: facility for unauthorized practice workouts over the past week, after 981 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 1: the Titans had been told to have no such gatherings, 982 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 1: no results yet in that investigation. Another big name New 983 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: England Patriots player has tested positive for COVID. Nineteen reigning 984 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year Stefan Gilmour tested positive in 985 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,280 Speaker 1: Tuesday's rounds of testing that came in this morning. Gilmore 986 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: underwent additional testing to confirm the positive result. With the 987 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: latest positive tests, the Pats have canceled Wednesday's practice. They 988 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: will now conduct virtual meetings for the foreseeable future. And finally, 989 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: Raiders defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was another player who tested 990 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: positive for COVID this morning. Hurst did not attend the 991 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 1: indoor charity function nine days ago that several of his 992 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,760 Speaker 1: teammates attended without wearing masks. Hurst did play in thirty 993 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: five snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, undoubtedly putting 994 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 1: Buffalo on notice for possible exposure. And finally, a little 995 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: Sabers note here. Oh, by the way, the NHL draft 996 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,720 Speaker 1: stave last night. With the eighth overall pick, the Sabers 997 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 1: picked forward Jack Quinn, who's just nineteen years old, spent 998 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: the last two seasons with the Ottawa sixty sevens of 999 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: the OHL. That is your sports update. Chris Brown, Steve 1000 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: Tasker here with you for our number two of the program, 1001 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: where we have been asking you at eight oh three, 1002 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 1: five fifty. If you are the league and the Titans 1003 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 1: Bills game cannot be played on Sunday, what is your solution? 1004 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: Do you make the Titans forfeit? Do you have the 1005 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: Bills and Broncos play this weekend and have the Patriots 1006 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: and Titans sit out, or do you reschedule the game 1007 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: for later in the season. And right now it's a 1008 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: nip and tuck battle between playing the Broncos for the 1009 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 1: Bills and having the Titans and Pats sit it out 1010 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 1: this weekend, and Titans should have to forfeit. Those are 1011 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: the two most popular choices to this point, and we 1012 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 1: will get to the phones in due course, but so 1013 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 1: explain the explain the option for everybody. The Bills play 1014 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: the Broncos this week, right, so the Titans obviously are 1015 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 1: scheduled to play the Bills this week, and the Patriots 1016 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: are scheduled to play the Broncos. So a solution and 1017 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: all four of those teams play each other at some 1018 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: point during the league during the year. I don't know 1019 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: if the Titans play the Broncos, but I do know 1020 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 1: that they do. I think in any event, the thought, 1021 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: the easy solution that came to mind was have the 1022 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: Bills play the Broncos this week instead of Week fifteen 1023 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: and figure out the rest later. You know, have have 1024 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos game in week fifteen, Week fifteen moved up 1025 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: to week five this week, and have the Titans and 1026 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,240 Speaker 1: Patriots sit it out. Titans already played the Tart the Broncos. 1027 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: They played them opening day. Son of a nutcracker, I know. 1028 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: Well that's out the window in any event, So those 1029 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 1: those are your choices. Yeah, the schedule will make your 1030 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,359 Speaker 1: head hurt once you have to start moving pieces around, don't. 1031 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,800 Speaker 1: I can't recommend this doing at home trying to figure 1032 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 1: this all out. It's it's a headache. But you're right that, 1033 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: and they're gonna try and use every option they can 1034 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: to shuffle games around, because when push comes to shove, 1035 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: these teams need a couple of once the season is rolling. 1036 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 1: If you can give them, you know, obviously all the 1037 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: time you can give them, but five days notice would help. 1038 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: You could do it. But man, oh man, I'm telling 1039 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: you right now, Steve, there's a part of me that 1040 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: thinks the safest thing to do. Well, I guess to 1041 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: a certain extent, it may not matter. But if you 1042 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,120 Speaker 1: decide to play this game, you say, well, the Bills 1043 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: are being unnecessarily exposed to the Titans, who may have 1044 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: more positives, even after what we've seen to this point. 1045 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: In light of this string of positives coming on different days, 1046 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: now you spread out, all you're doing is lengthening the 1047 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: incubation period and kicking it down the calendar rode even further. 1048 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: But then you could also argue it's already too late. 1049 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: The Bills may have been exposed to the Raiders, so 1050 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 1: why not play a team that's already infected. Go for it. Well, 1051 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing as well, you've got none of these players, 1052 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: and unless the Titans had practices unauthorized away from the 1053 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 1: facility on their own, which has been reported. Yeah, Now, 1054 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 1: if the players who have all been sequestered have stayed 1055 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 1: quarantine since last Monday, all of those players and none 1056 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: of them have tested positive. Now you've got two more today, 1057 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: you got if you can contact trace them. If they 1058 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: didn't get it from their own teammates or from somebody, 1059 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 1: you're running the risk. Now if you don't know where 1060 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 1: these guys are getting it. So the point of the 1061 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: my point is this, You've got a bunch of people 1062 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: in the building were not in the building, I guess 1063 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: at their homes waiting to come in and play. Do 1064 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: you come back and say, okay, here's your heightened protocols. 1065 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: Anybody who tests negative all the way through the game 1066 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,800 Speaker 1: can go ahead and play. Yeah, and if you get 1067 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: anybody who is do test positive, they can't come in 1068 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 1: the building. Obviously you get them, you said the question, 1069 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 1: you can just continue to weed them out. It's there 1070 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: are no easy answers here. But we're gonna try to 1071 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 1: see a Plaine Bishop has any joining us on the 1072 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 1: line right now from the Titans radio network is one 1073 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 1: Plaine Bishop, former strong safety for the Titans. Blaine, how 1074 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 1: are you doing? Guy? Thanks for giving us some time. Man, 1075 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: how you guys doing? Man? I see you guys are 1076 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: trying to be doctors. Like doctors, but we play them 1077 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: on the radio, and yeah, the Tennessee Titans need a doctor. Blaine. 1078 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 1: I know, man, I you know I have a lot 1079 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 1: of friends that are the doctor. So I presumed that 1080 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: I could be a doctor. But no, I'll jokes aside. 1081 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 1: You know, this is a tough sit wastion h with 1082 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 1: what's going on with all the I'm surprised first and 1083 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 1: foremost about all the guys getting tested. But this is 1084 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: a pandemic, is uh, you know, it's unpredictable. I think, uh, 1085 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: they thought they would be able to be in the 1086 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: facility today, which is really I guess a little surprising 1087 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 1: from all angles, from management to coaching staff to actual players. 1088 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 1: So you know, uh, we're hoping that everyone is safe 1089 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: and that they're doing what they're supposed to do. I 1090 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: think the NFL and the NFLPA were in town investigating 1091 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: if they were make sure they were going through the protocols. 1092 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: I think they tightened those protocols across the league. Blaine, 1093 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 1: what do you make of the What do you make 1094 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: of the reports that you know some of the play 1095 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: and I get it they're anty to keep to stay sharp, 1096 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: But the reports about them getting together away from the 1097 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 1: facility and trying to stay sharp when they were supposed 1098 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 1: to be staying distant from each other an unauthorized practice, 1099 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: unauthports from the Washington Post today. Yeah, I don't know 1100 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: any specifics on that at all. As far as if 1101 01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: that happened or not. But I could actually see that 1102 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 1: happening because you're saying, Okay, these guys get to practice. 1103 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 1: We didn't get to practice, so we're gonna find a way. 1104 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: Everybody who's you know, feels like you're safe, and we're 1105 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: being tested amongst each other, you know how football guys are. Hey, 1106 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: we can go practice and keep this thing going. We're 1107 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: three and oh we're playing a Formula oponent who is 1108 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 1: really good. They're undefeated and they beat us the last 1109 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: two or three times. So yeah, I could see that happening. 1110 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: I don't know where that happened or if that actually 1111 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: did happen, but yeah, with the mindset of a football 1112 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 1: player and that you think your team is really good 1113 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: and got a chance to do some real serious damage 1114 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and actually going to the Super Bowl, 1115 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I could see that happening. So, Blaine, where 1116 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: would you go put your league hat on for a 1117 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 1: second and pretend you're working up there at Park Avenue. 1118 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 1: If the investigation does uncover that there were some unauthorized 1119 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 1: practices being undertaken by the players themselves away from the facility, 1120 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: I have to imagine that they're going to run the 1121 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 1: risk of being faced with forfeiting the game. I mean, 1122 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I know the league just put down those new repercussions 1123 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: on Monday, So maybe they don't go that far because 1124 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 1: alleged what allegedly happened happened last week before those came down. 1125 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: But they're talking about docking people draft picks forfeiting games, 1126 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 1: and this would seem to be in line with those 1127 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: kinds of violations. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if they're 1128 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna go that far, but I wouldn't be surprised though, 1129 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean, docking draft picks, and I've seen all those 1130 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 1: rumors out there too. I just think that's a worst 1131 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 1: case scenario. You gotta find them. If you find something 1132 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 1: where you weren't following the protocols, or guys who were 1133 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: practicing and they weren't supposed to be a remote location, 1134 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of, you know, things that are somewhat outside 1135 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 1: of what the coaches and the organization can't control. When 1136 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: you're talking about the players practice out side, so then 1137 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: you punish not actual players, but you punish the organization. 1138 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 1: And I'm sure of Rabel who has said repeatedly he 1139 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: told them not to do any practicing even now, beforehand 1140 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 1: three four days ago to no one is supposed to 1141 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 1: do anything. He's aired on the side of caution throughout 1142 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 1: this whole time. What do you so, I hope that 1143 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Maybe fine if if that is true, but man, 1144 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 1: taking draft picks and everything, that seems like a little 1145 01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: extreme for me. What do you think the next step 1146 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: is if indeed the league says, listen, we can't play. 1147 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 1: You couldn't play the Pittsburgh Tennessee game. Now it looks 1148 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: like the Buffalo Tennessee game is in jeopardy as well. 1149 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: How many games can the league go without? You know, 1150 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: and they got this Tennessee Titan problem because of the schedule. 1151 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Who cares about the virus? They gotta get these games 1152 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 1: in or they don't gotta get these games in. What 1153 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: do you think the solution is? Well, I thought throughout 1154 01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 1: their last week when the Steelers game was canceled that 1155 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the NFL has the whole month of February. They're in Tampa, 1156 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: and do they potentially start moving back the Super Bowl 1157 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 1: to get in some of the games. If it becomes 1158 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 1: something that becomes widespread amongst the league, Let's say four 1159 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: or five other teams has the same issue as the Titans. 1160 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting because you can't manage and push 1161 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 1: everything back to everybody's by week that's not going to happen. 1162 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Or do you just say, well, the teams that miss 1163 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 1: one or two games, we go by percentage, or do 1164 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: we leave one gap for one week at the end 1165 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: of the season and say we're gonna have a play 1166 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 1: in game or something to that effect. We're teams who 1167 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: came up a little bit short or didn't play enough 1168 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: games to make you satisfied with the percentage or their 1169 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: win percentage or lost percentage. So I think that's some 1170 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: of the ideas. If I was smart enough, I'd be 1171 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 1: in the league office, that's for sure. So they're gonna 1172 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: have something on their hands right now as far as 1173 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 1: managing this pandemic, which they have no idea how to 1174 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 1: and they're doing the best they can. We're talking to 1175 01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Titans radio analysts, Playing Bishop, also a former strong say 1176 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 1: aft of the Titans and playing I'm gonna I'm gonna 1177 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 1: flip this around a little bit here, because you know, 1178 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: it's the poor Titans that have been wearing the scarlet 1179 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: letter on their chest here for the better part of 1180 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: the last ten days because of this outbreak. But you 1181 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: might be able to flip this around. Let's just say 1182 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the game does go off on Sunday and the Titans 1183 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,919 Speaker 1: have no more positives for the rest of the week, 1184 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 1: and they got to play the Bills, and they play 1185 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: the Bills, the game goes off without a hitch. We 1186 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: get to Monday and the Bills turn up with some 1187 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 1: positives because we just found out a Raiders player tested 1188 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:35,439 Speaker 1: positive today for COVID who played thirty five snaps last 1189 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:40,960 Speaker 1: Sunday against Buffalo. Where do we go from there? Yeah, well, 1190 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: actually that's the predicament that the Titans were in. Yeah, 1191 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: after the Minnesota game they had no one test positive 1192 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 1: for the vikings actually, and then so that was the scarce. 1193 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: So can it actually be spread if you play in 1194 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: a game, Well, it didn't in that case, right, and 1195 01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: then instant you're talking about it did. So I think 1196 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 1: that's what the NFL is super scared of at this 1197 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: point in time, because then it could start running rampant 1198 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: amongst players on teams. You know, everybody saw the Mahomes 1199 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: Filmore hug afterwards, but in the same sense you say, okay, 1200 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: you're tackling him and you know, d lineman, offensive line 1201 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: or hitting each other on every play wasn't pass So, man, 1202 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 1: you're just crossing your fingers that it can't be passed 1203 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 1: you out of game. I thought it could be, but 1204 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it can or can't. You know, 1205 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 1: it's probably something random, and we don't know where everybody 1206 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 1: is going. And when I say that, I'm talking about 1207 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: also who they're coming in contact with. I mean, you know, 1208 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 1: we got kids, some kids are in school, some have 1209 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, family members that are going out to dinner 1210 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 1: or wherever. We don't know how they actually are contracting 1211 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 1: the virus. It's so random, and I think everybody's trying 1212 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 1: to do their best. But man, that that's still this 1213 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: is a thing that we you know, the unknown here, 1214 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 1: and I think in a tough situation for everyone. Yeah, 1215 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks of the season, everything 1216 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: looked to go without a hitch. All the teams had traveled, 1217 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 1: they'd all had a home game. It looked as though 1218 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: they might pull it off. And then Week three gets 1219 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: here and on a Monday after the Week three Titans 1220 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: come down with six positives or eight or whatever, seven 1221 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: positives whatever was now it's kind of slowly spreading. Are 1222 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: you think the league's fooling itself or do you think 1223 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: they can get this back under control and proceed. I 1224 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 1: think they were hoping they could, and it seemed like 1225 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 1: the Titans facility was going to open today until the 1226 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,520 Speaker 1: two positive tests. I think the NFL is now going 1227 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: to have to start considering somewhat of a bubble in 1228 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,959 Speaker 1: this sense, each you know, team in each city's gonna 1229 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 1: have to maybe just go to hotels and just go 1230 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 1: back and forth to the facilities with the who's ever 1231 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: driving maybe a bus or you just drive back and forth. 1232 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 1: I think it's something to consider, even if it's not now. 1233 01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 1: Maybe in the playoffs we mentioned coach Rabel has been 1234 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 1: adamant and telling players not to practice and do anything 1235 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 1: away from this facility once it got shut down on 1236 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,680 Speaker 1: September twenty ninth. How do you think he's kind of 1237 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,080 Speaker 1: handled this? Just seeing him answering questions of the media, 1238 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, just observing him the last couple of weeks playing, 1239 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 1: how do you think he's kind of navigated all of 1240 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 1: this as a head coach because this is no easy 1241 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: task here. Well, to be honest, I think he's done 1242 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 1: a really good job. I mean, this is a tough situation. 1243 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 1: He did it. Let's give an example. They played the 1244 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 1: Dolphins and it was a game they went into overtime, 1245 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: and they went for his first head coach in a game. 1246 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: I think it went eight hours the game. The actual game, 1247 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 1: they had to stop started multiple times, feeding players throughout 1248 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 1: the time. So he's a very organized, very informative coach 1249 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 1: and really likes mentally engaged and smart football players. They'll 1250 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: have to be the exceptional talent. So I think that 1251 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 1: mental for to two that he has and he brings 1252 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,799 Speaker 1: to the table, I think he expresses to his players, 1253 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 1: and so I think he's done a really good job. 1254 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 1: As we are here in Buffalo, you know, you look 1255 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: at Mike Rabel and what he's going through with the Titans, 1256 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 1: they are a lot like what the Buffalo Bills fans 1257 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: are here, except the worst case scenario. The Bills fans 1258 01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: were really worried that maybe you know, they're starting quarterback 1259 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,680 Speaker 1: like the Patriots with Cam Newton or whatever. Now, you 1260 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,599 Speaker 1: guys got off to a three and oh start as well, 1261 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,800 Speaker 1: and Bills are four and oh because we've played four games, 1262 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: you're three and oh You're sitting there with this great 1263 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 1: season underway, with high expectations, high hopes, your window of 1264 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,000 Speaker 1: your window of opportunities open, and this hits. This has 1265 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 1: got to be devastating for a lot of people who 1266 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 1: are Tennessee Titan fans. It's got to be frustrating for 1267 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: Rabel and his crew as well. And it's and it's 1268 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 1: really the question I asked you a moment ago. I 1269 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: think the league will do everything they can to get 1270 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 1: this thing roll along. The question is how drastic of 1271 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: a step will they have to take to get it 1272 01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 1: back under way. Well, I think that's the question to 1273 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 1: be answered. I think they're gonna do everything possible to 1274 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 1: play sixteen games right. To be honest, I mean, there's 1275 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 1: a lot of we're talking B dollars at stake here, 1276 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 1: so they're gonna try to do everything they can. And 1277 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the line is how far will they go. That's why 1278 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 1: I was talking about a bubble. I'm not sure how 1279 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 1: far they will go, but I think they will do 1280 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 1: everything in their power. The NFL and the NFLPA were 1281 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 1: both down here looking into the type facility to see 1282 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 1: if it was something going on, if their facility. As 1283 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: far as you know with somebody who carried it came in, 1284 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 1: they changed the protocols for free agent signings. You know 1285 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 1: that that was a big question, is when you sign 1286 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: a free agent, when you come in, you test them, 1287 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they're in your facility, 1288 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 1: you know, two days later. But then sometimes it doesn't 1289 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 1: show them the testing until five days later. You know. 1290 01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 1: Those are the things you can't control. So I think 1291 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 1: these are some of the things that they're looking at, 1292 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 1: and maybe they should consider putting all free agents in 1293 01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: one location and testing them daily. I don't know, maybe 1294 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 1: centrally located in Texas. That way they can then go 1295 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 1: to west coast, east coast, you know, the South, and 1296 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: that way all players that are available are already tested. 1297 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: Haven't heard that being mentioned, but that could be an 1298 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 1: issue and how this all got started with the Titans Blaine. 1299 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,800 Speaker 1: Last one I have for you is we know there's 1300 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,599 Speaker 1: a ton of players on the COVID nineteen IR list 1301 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: in addition to the regular IR list. I believe a 1302 01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson's on the regular IR list, among others. Is 1303 01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 1: there any inkling as to who, if there is in 1304 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: fact a game on Sunday might be eligible to come 1305 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: off the COVID list or off the regular ir list 1306 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 1: to play, because otherwise Tennessee is going to be supremely 1307 01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 1: shorthanded this week, right, Yeah, they would be. And I 1308 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: think there's potentially a j Brown who hasn't played since 1309 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,439 Speaker 1: the first game with a bruised knee. I think he's 1310 01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: a person that he was just on the injured list. 1311 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 1: I think he's a possibility, as well as a Dorry 1312 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: Jackson who got injured in practice before the first week 1313 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,679 Speaker 1: on a Thursday Day. I think he is another guy 1314 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,880 Speaker 1: that could be off of there. Not sure. They're very 1315 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,720 Speaker 1: tight lit on the injury report. We don't have a 1316 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,640 Speaker 1: lot of access to anything, to be honest, so you 1317 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: have to go by what you see what they post. 1318 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,439 Speaker 1: So it's all speculation. But other than that, I don't 1319 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 1: know anyone on the COVID list. Cope Rabel has said 1320 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 1: that anybody was on the COVID list over the last 1321 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I guess, let's say ten days or so. Even if 1322 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: they are positive, he seemed as though that they're not 1323 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna play if the game was played Sunday. He spoke 1324 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 1: in those manners. I don't know if he meant it 1325 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 1: that way. But that's how he spoke. Okay, blame thanks man. 1326 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: We appreciate appreciate you guys. Man, appreciate you having me off. 1327 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: All right, Hopefully we've got a game on Sunday. That's 1328 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: blame Bishop, former strong safety for the Titans and current 1329 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 1: Titans radio analyst. It's kind of unfortunate that the majority 1330 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 1: of that conversation had to deal with COVID, but that's 1331 01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 1: where we are with this game. I mean, COVID is 1332 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 1: like a giant black cloud and hanging over this game. 1333 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,760 Speaker 1: And let's face it, we're the point now where we 1334 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: all think something should happen, or should have already happened, 1335 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 1: or something should have been said. But these guys just 1336 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,120 Speaker 1: came positive yesterday. They were supposed to open their facility 1337 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: as normal today this morning, and they got two more positives, 1338 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 1: and now they're set back a length of time as well. 1339 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,679 Speaker 1: The Bills and the Titans are supposed to play on Sunday. 1340 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 1: The Bills and the Titans right now are planning on it. 1341 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,960 Speaker 1: Nothing has changed, nothing has changed. The Titans may walk 1342 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: into that stadium having never laid eyes on each other 1343 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: in person for thirteen days. That's what they're looking at. 1344 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 1: Right now. Now, I doubt that it will get to that, 1345 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 1: but it's not going to be much better for the 1346 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 1: Titans if this game actually takes place on schedule. Yeah, 1347 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna take one quick call before we go to break. 1348 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,320 Speaker 1: We go to Aaron in Virginia at eight oh three 1349 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: five fifty as we're asking you, if you're the league 1350 01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,479 Speaker 1: and this game can't be played, what's your solution, Aaron, 1351 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 1: what do you have? Orus? Thanks for joining the show. Hey, 1352 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. First, I want to say thank you. 1353 01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,639 Speaker 1: I'm actually military taking out of state and I listened 1354 01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:09,679 Speaker 1: you guys got to TV plug in, especially during COVID, 1355 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,600 Speaker 1: So thank you for all you guys do. Happy to 1356 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,639 Speaker 1: help you. Thank you for your service. It's my pleasure. 1357 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 1: So I'm with you guys. I think that something has 1358 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: to be done. I think that if them having the 1359 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 1: unauthorized practice is substantiated, but I think they have to 1360 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 1: do something swift and severe. I think that it's totally 1361 01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:29,680 Speaker 1: in the season, and as cool weather kind of comes 1362 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: upon us, it's want to get worse. They have to 1363 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 1: kind of like let everyone know, but everyone I noticed, Hey, 1364 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 1: so happened the Titans. You get a better, better fall 1365 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 1: in line. You know. Um, however, I think this kind 1366 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:43,720 Speaker 1: of needs to be tempered. I remember you getting of 1367 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 1: the show talked about the step for stuff on Gilmore 1368 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,240 Speaker 1: Hugs with Patrick Mahomes, you know, and that it's funny, 1369 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,320 Speaker 1: right because when you agree to play, right, you sign 1370 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 1: your contract and you played this season, you kind of 1371 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,040 Speaker 1: agree to the terms of COVID, right, But we also 1372 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,160 Speaker 1: have to kind of take a breath, you know, because 1373 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,560 Speaker 1: they're tackling each other, you know, like we're not in 1374 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 1: a bubble. You can't mitigate all the risks, you know, 1375 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 1: and their dudes competing, you know, perspect to each other. 1376 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: So I think we need to enforce ring is to 1377 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,640 Speaker 1: be enforced off the field ridiculous shannigans, but also kind 1378 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 1: of like understand that these are just players too. You know. 1379 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,839 Speaker 1: It's when they're saying, yeah, I hear you, Aaron, absolutely, 1380 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: thanks for the call. And where we are up against 1381 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:29,160 Speaker 1: the break, Um, yeah, piles of people on almost you know, 1382 01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: you got a goal line play, you got a pile 1383 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,599 Speaker 1: about ten guys in there, ye all nose to nose 1384 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: and breathe it on each other. And yeah, it's the 1385 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,160 Speaker 1: It's like we said, Steve back in July. Football is 1386 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 1: the opposite of social distancing. It's a Petri dish. Even 1387 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 1: there at the post game, you even it was, and 1388 01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 1: it was. It was very brief, and you'll get it. People. 1389 01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 1: You see a still picture of Mahomes and Steph Gilmore 1390 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,719 Speaker 1: stand there face to face with face masks touching. Virtually 1391 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,840 Speaker 1: they're that close, and when you see it in motion, 1392 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 1: it was brief only for us, not even a second. 1393 01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,839 Speaker 1: And then they walk along and they walk along, shoulder 1394 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 1: to shoulder, looking at each other, speaking to each other. Now, 1395 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,760 Speaker 1: so you don't you know, So how does anybody know 1396 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 1: whether Mahomes is gonna get expected? This will be interesting 1397 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 1: because Gilmore's positive. What happens to Pat Mahomes? That shows 1398 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 1: you that's gonna show us well, that brief thing and 1399 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 1: they were passing that that didn't catch it. So and 1400 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,720 Speaker 1: I've heard too that back in the day when they 1401 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 1: said massive, you gotta talk to somebody like fifteen minutes, 1402 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes was the time that I remember reading within 1403 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: six feet of each other. And that's what is gonna 1404 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see. Not that that we got 1405 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,560 Speaker 1: to wait now for a week to find out. But 1406 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 1: if Pat Mahomes never gets sick. And you know that 1407 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,639 Speaker 1: Steph Gilmore had the virus on him at the time. Well, 1408 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 1: that's interesting, right, it's I could guarantee you everybody's sweating 1409 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 1: it out in Kansas City right now. They worried that 1410 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 1: their their franchise quarterback could have COVID and turn up 1411 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 1: positive somewhere between now and early next week. Brownie, we're 1412 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. We're not on one Chiefs Live. 1413 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 1: We're on one Patriots Live. We're not on one you know, tennis, 1414 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,479 Speaker 1: We're not on one Titans Live. This is a this 1415 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: is a Buffalo Bills deal. I don't want to see 1416 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: those guys get sick. I don't want to see Mahomes 1417 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:26,920 Speaker 1: go down. I don't want to I don't want to 1418 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,880 Speaker 1: have to take a forfeit from the Titans. We're fans 1419 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,280 Speaker 1: because we want to watch these games, and I respect 1420 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 1: all of that. But where we are at this point 1421 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 1: in the year with this COVID issue to expect a 1422 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 1: level playing field of competition and fairness for all teams, right, 1423 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 1: that's out the window. That's already gone. The Patriots had 1424 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 1: to play the Chiefs without Cam Newton on Monday night, 1425 01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: do you think that was fair? Right? Not fair that 1426 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: it's already out the window to tell you this too, 1427 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,479 Speaker 1: we have to break. Yeah, yeah, here's my point. Fair enough. 1428 01:17:58,680 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 1: I just want to see him get on the field. 1429 01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:01,640 Speaker 1: To other right, I want to see him on the 1430 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: totally get it. I want to see him on the field. 1431 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't care. They'll guarantee. I don't care if the 1432 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,799 Speaker 1: Bills got thirteen guys sick and they got twelve guys Ciglett, 1433 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 1: Let's see the Let's see the charging buffalo helmet against 1434 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,439 Speaker 1: the titan flaming tea helmet. You know, that's what we 1435 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: want to see. We want to see the games and 1436 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,200 Speaker 1: it'll be you know, it'll be interesting for different reasons, 1437 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: and it won't be as competitive, and you know it'll 1438 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,760 Speaker 1: be weird that way. But I want to see these guys. 1439 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: I dont want to see him play. If they can, 1440 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 1: I get it. If they can, Gino, Brian, Jim and 1441 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: Greg hang on, guys, we'll get to you after the break. 1442 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 1: As we are seeking answers.

Eight oh three 1444 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: five fifty Steve Task or Chris Brown back in a 1445 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,720 Speaker 1: moment here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. 1446 01:18:44,800 --> 01:19:01,759 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. This Round Steve Tasker. Second 1447 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,759 Speaker 1: half of the show under way here on a Wednesday, 1448 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,280 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live broadcasting from Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park. 1449 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Get those people off the phone list here and we 1450 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:11,719 Speaker 1: have to get back to the phone hats and people. 1451 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:16,799 Speaker 1: They're waiting patiently, and we will lead off with Gino here. Gino, 1452 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 1: thanks for joining the show. What do you have for us? Hold? 1453 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:25,000 Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah, sure. I want to ask you a question. 1454 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 1: Do you think this is gonna get better it's gonna 1455 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 1: get worse? Well, I don't know if it's gonna get 1456 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 1: worse or if it'll just get different. Gino, what I mean, 1457 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't want to you know, 1458 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 1: split hairs or anything. But if it gets worse there 1459 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a bunch of teams in the 1460 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: same boat and they're gonna pause the season and they're 1461 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out another plan. But I don't know. 1462 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,479 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see it different than this. I 1463 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: think it'll get better and it'll get worse. It's gonna 1464 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a roller coaster. What do 1465 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 1: you think's going to happen? I think, well, I would 1466 01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,719 Speaker 1: like for it to happen. I'd like them to pull 1467 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: the trigger right now for two weeks let's see if 1468 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,280 Speaker 1: we can catch it, or quarterway through this season, let's 1469 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,160 Speaker 1: see if we can catch it, because I think it's 1470 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: gonna go worse. I can't see it getting any better. 1471 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: Like your boys said, you got ten guys nose and 1472 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:17,320 Speaker 1: nose dripping, swatting, bleeding on each other. Yeah, gino, I'll 1473 01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,120 Speaker 1: tell you what though, it's been working that way for 1474 01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and we won't this outbreaks have 1475 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,640 Speaker 1: been something that it seems that has not happened on 1476 01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,760 Speaker 1: the field. I don't you know, nobody seems to have 1477 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 1: gotten cross pollinated, cross contaminated from another team on your team, 1478 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 1: because the teams that are coming down with this virus 1479 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: are coming down and the team that they got it 1480 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 1: seemingly would have gotten it from don't have anybody with it. 1481 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: So the games don't seem to be the problem. It 1482 01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 1: seems to be all the stuff in between that's the problem. Well, 1483 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: I think that you know, actually that's gonna be a problem. 1484 01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,679 Speaker 1: It might it might be. I'll tell you this though, Gino, 1485 01:20:57,720 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that has to be 1486 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 1: on the on the man. I think it has to 1487 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: the pause button has to be on the menu. And 1488 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 1: I don't know for how long. Maybe it could be 1489 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 1: just for one week, one weekend, you know, like on 1490 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 1: a Monday, the whole league shuts down. You wait for 1491 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,640 Speaker 1: until the next like Thursday. Then everybody comes back in 1492 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: and Pop's going goes on the next Sunday. So you 1493 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 1: missed one week of games, you know what I'm saying. 1494 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,240 Speaker 1: So that could be a possibility, and I think that 1495 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 1: should be on the menu. Thanks for the call, Gino. 1496 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. We do have to move along and 1497 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,720 Speaker 1: get to some other people and we go to where 1498 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 1: are we here? We go to gym in north Tonawanda. Jim, 1499 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 1: thanks for joining the show. What do you have for us? Well, 1500 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,360 Speaker 1: I think the best example before us is baseball. They 1501 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 1: played the regular schedule and then they played the playoffs 1502 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 1: in the boot. So what I would do is put 1503 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: the one conference in the super Bowl city and the 1504 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,719 Speaker 1: other conference in perhaps the next year's super Bowl city, 1505 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 1: and played the super Bowl game back in the super 1506 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 1: Bowl city. That was already chosen. That would be the playoffs. 1507 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: I think they guess because then out right, now, where 1508 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:08,560 Speaker 1: where would they Jim? Where are Jim? Where are sixteen 1509 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:13,639 Speaker 1: NFL teams gonna practice in Tampa Bay without without being 1510 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:19,800 Speaker 1: able to watch each other practice? Sixteen? The playoffs you're 1511 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,599 Speaker 1: talking about, I'm talking about for the regular season. Bubble 1512 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,799 Speaker 1: you're talking about in the so he was talking about playoffs, 1513 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: playoffs in a bubble. AFC over here, NFC over there, 1514 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: and you know you got your seven teams there, your 1515 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 1: seven teams here, go get them? Okay, Um, all right, Jim, Jim, 1516 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 1: regular season right now, Jim, Jim, you we can't get 1517 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:46,559 Speaker 1: through the regular season? Playoffs are forget playoffs? Playoffs. It's 1518 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: too easy. I wasn't gonna say it. Just with me 1519 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: for a second. All right, go ahead, get to your 1520 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 1: point because it regular season season is you guys came 1521 01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 1: up with this scenario where Buffalo plays ever, which which 1522 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: is what they should do, because if we play a 1523 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,559 Speaker 1: team that's one o two players tests with positive it's 1524 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,360 Speaker 1: very likely that will spread, and if it spreads across 1525 01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 1: the league, we're in trouble. I like the idea of 1526 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: moving schedules around Baseball had the advangel of what we 1527 01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 1: don't they play double headers? You can't do that, So 1528 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 1: I would I would push with the idea, Now we 1529 01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 1: move the schedule around as we can as we can 1530 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,800 Speaker 1: and see if we can get with the scenario to 1531 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,559 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, well, well, Jim, that's that's what they're 1532 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 1: trying to do. I mean, that's the plan all along. 1533 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 1: They've already done it with a Pittsburgh Titans game. We 1534 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: just don't know all the ramifications of doing it. I 1535 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 1: agree with him, though. I think they are going to 1536 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 1: move the pieces around on the chessboard as many times 1537 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,800 Speaker 1: as they can to keep the schedule intact as best 1538 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 1: they can and keep playing and keep playing. Right, I 1539 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 1: get that too, and I see that too, and I say, 1540 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 1: let's do it. That's great. That's why I was getting done. 1541 01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 1: That's why I think Bronco's bills is a very real possibility. Now. 1542 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,160 Speaker 1: The coaches are gonna revolt when they hear that if 1543 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: it's even brought up as an option, because they're gonna 1544 01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: be like, well, what the hell have I been doing 1545 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 1: the last three days. I'm already practicing my game plan 1546 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,920 Speaker 1: for the Titans. Now you want me to change it 1547 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 1: and do it for the Broncos, who I haven't advanced 1548 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: scouted yet. You gotta be kidding me, and I gotta 1549 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: do it in three days. But it's a level playing field. 1550 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 1: The Broncos are in the same boat. I understand nobody. 1551 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you're not getting pushed back from the coaches, right, 1552 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,439 Speaker 1: but you can sit down and shut up because it's 1553 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: the same playing field. It's the same playing field. They're 1554 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 1: the same disadvantage you are, So you know, chill in 1555 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 1: this case. Now, what happens if if you're the Chiefs 1556 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 1: and your game gets postponed this Sunday, you don't have 1557 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,240 Speaker 1: a game till Thursday, and you can you got now, 1558 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,640 Speaker 1: you got a full week of schedules, full week to 1559 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,800 Speaker 1: get ready for the Bills, and you know whatever. Then 1560 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 1: it starts to get Hey, it's like we said and 1561 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,680 Speaker 1: the league told the teams at the beginning of the year, 1562 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:58,680 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be fair for everybody, and it's it's 1563 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: inevitable that it is not going to be a level 1564 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 1: playing field for all thirty two teams. The way the 1565 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 1: virus operates and what we've seen it due to other leagues, 1566 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,800 Speaker 1: we know, we're gonna get to a point in the 1567 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 1: season where it is not going to be fair for teams, 1568 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,679 Speaker 1: for all thirty two teams. We already saw it on Monday. 1569 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: The Patriots had to play against the defending Super Bowl 1570 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 1: champs without their starting quarterback on the road. Not fair, 1571 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,200 Speaker 1: too bad. So that's what's gonna have to happen. They're 1572 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna railroad these games through, move some pieces around 1573 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 1: and say let's go. And I and I know too, 1574 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 1: we can we all sit in here in buffal We've 1575 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: got no love loss for the Patriots. I mean, you know, 1576 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,840 Speaker 1: you could, you know, put them through, you know, meat grinder. 1577 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 1: It's an example of how it's not going to be fair. 1578 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't fair for them. It wasn't fair, and for 1579 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: whatever reason, whatever whatever comes up, the consequences are gonna be. 1580 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:53,920 Speaker 1: It may be Buffalo next, maybe Josh Tremaine, Devin Singletary all. 1581 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,679 Speaker 1: You know, you pick the handful of guys that you'd 1582 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 1: least like to lose for a game. It could be 1583 01:25:58,439 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 1: the Bills next, and they say, you know what, you 1584 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 1: guys gotta go play. You're gonna play the Chiefs on 1585 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night without any of those guys. So we'll get 1586 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,839 Speaker 1: our medicine, just like the Patriots had to take their medicine, 1587 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 1: and we may like it a lot less than they did. 1588 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 1: All Right, we have to take a break, but when 1589 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,519 Speaker 1: we come back, we will be paying tribute to a 1590 01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: person who I believe was the greatest guitar player to 1591 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 1: ever live. And I know there are Hendricks fans, and 1592 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 1: I know there are Clapton's fans. This guy changed the 1593 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,760 Speaker 1: game and we lost him yesterday. Eddie van Halen and 1594 01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 1: Steve has a great story because Jim Kelly was tight 1595 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 1: with Eddie van Halen and Eddie supported a lot of 1596 01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:37,600 Speaker 1: Jim's charity causes. Steve's got a story to end to 1597 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 1: all stories. We'll get to that when we come back. 1598 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, this 1599 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you 1600 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:03,040 Speaker 1: One Mills Live. And there is some breaking news regarding 1601 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,799 Speaker 1: the Titans. We know that the NFL and the Players 1602 01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 1: Association was investigating reports of an unauthorized workout after the 1603 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 1: Titans facility was closed on September twenty nineth due to 1604 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 1: the COVID outbreak. And now from news Channel five in Nashville. 1605 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,800 Speaker 1: Their sports anchor Steve Layman is reporting that sources have 1606 01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 1: confirmed to him and news Channel five that a group 1607 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: of about fifteen Titans players held a workout at Montgomery 1608 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Bell Academy last Wednesday, exactly one day after the team's 1609 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 1: facility was shut down by eight positive COVID nineteen tests. 1610 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 1: Holy mackerel, they are gonna get the hammer. They're gonna 1611 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 1: get the book thrown at him for that. It'll be 1612 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,520 Speaker 1: interesting to see which of those fifteen, if any, subsequently 1613 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 1: tested positive. Oh man, that's a man, not good mass. 1614 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,000 Speaker 1: All right. We will get to more of that shortly, 1615 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:05,400 Speaker 1: but we did want to address a sad passing yesterday 1616 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 1: in the music world. Eddie van Halen, probably one of 1617 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 1: the best musicians of the twentieth century, died at age 1618 01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:17,759 Speaker 1: sixty five yesterday after a long battle with throat cancer 1619 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,120 Speaker 1: and lung cancer that he had been dealing with for 1620 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,559 Speaker 1: the better part of the last ten years. It hit 1621 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: me hard because this is one of I mean, Van 1622 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 1: Halen is my number one band of all time in 1623 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,719 Speaker 1: my life and their music, I mean they're my number 1624 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 1: one group, number one. It's not even closer. They are 1625 01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,920 Speaker 1: the guys. They are the guys. I've seen him eight 1626 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,720 Speaker 1: ten times with Dave, with Sammy, the whole thing, and 1627 01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 1: so it was really it was tough for me yesterday. 1628 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 1: I was really sad about it and and that kind 1629 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,599 Speaker 1: of stuff.

So 1793 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:24,240 Speaker 1: he goes, all right, cool, He takes it off, and 1794 01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 1: he reaches up for the to get his cigarette back, 1795 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 1: and Daryl goes, no, leave the cigarette. He goes.

It was. 1798 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 1: It was a most unbelievable moment I've ever had in 1799 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 1: one of those chairs. I appreciate you sharing that. The 1800 01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:44,640 Speaker 1: first time I ever saw him play was here in 1801 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 1: ninety one in Buffalo at the old odd. I still 1802 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,240 Speaker 1: remember Alison Chains was the opening act, and everybody in 1803 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 1: the stands were booing Alison Chains off the stage because 1804 01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 1: the only reason sixteen and a half thousand people were 1805 01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:00,559 Speaker 1: there were to see ed play. And after Wing didn't 1806 01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 1: get them off the stage, everybody just started chanting eighty 1807 01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,600 Speaker 1: eighty and Alison Chains finally got the message and they 1808 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,479 Speaker 1: got off the stage, and Sammy Hagar came out into 1809 01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:13,400 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly Jersey and I mean, it's a great show. 1810 01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,680 Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. So sad day yesterday, but a 1811 01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:20,080 Speaker 1: great story from Steve there, so I'm glad you shared 1812 01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 1: that with everybody.

The NFL could be dropping 1820 01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 1: the hammer on them. We will get to that when 1821 01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,160 Speaker 1: we come back.

The hope for a 1834 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:45,799 Speaker 1: reopen facility in Tennessee is on hold after additional positive 1835 01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: COVID tests. Two Titans players tested positive for COVID this morning. 1836 01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,920 Speaker 1: The news comes after two consecutive days of negative tests 1837 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 1: out of Nashville, with the Titans hoping to return to 1838 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:59,719 Speaker 1: the team facility in prep for Sunday's game against the Bills. 1839 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 1: These latest positives now put Sunday's game with Buffalo in 1840 01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 1: jeopardy and the latest news on this According to Steve 1841 01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:12,040 Speaker 1: Layman from news Channel five in Nashville, sources are confirming 1842 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:15,599 Speaker 1: to him that a group of about fifteen Titans players 1843 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:21,560 Speaker 1: held an unauthorized workout at the Montgomery Bell Academy last Wednesday, 1844 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 1: exactly one day after the team's facility was shut down 1845 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 1: by the initial eight positive COVID nineteen tests. We'll see 1846 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 1: if that's corroborated by other sources here in the coming hours. 1847 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:37,240 Speaker 1: Another big name New England Patriots player tested positive for COVID. 1848 01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:41,120 Speaker 1: That would be Stefan Gilmour, who tested positive in Tuesday's 1849 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,679 Speaker 1: round of testing, which came back this morning. He underwent 1850 01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,280 Speaker 1: additional testing to confirm the results. With the latest positive test, 1851 01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots have canceled today's practice. They are conducting their 1852 01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:56,679 Speaker 1: meetings virtually for the foreseeable future. And Raiders defensive tackle 1853 01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 1: Maurice Hurst another player who tested positive for COVID this morning. 1854 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,720 Speaker 1: Hurst did not attend the indoor charity function that a 1855 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:07,040 Speaker 1: lot of his Raiders teammates did nine days ago without 1856 01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,640 Speaker 1: wearing masks. Hurst did play in thirty five snaps in 1857 01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:14,639 Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Bills, undoubtedly putting Buffalo on notice 1858 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 1: for possible exposure. That is your sports update, Chris Brown, 1859 01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,280 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker our number three of one bills Live here 1860 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,840 Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition, and we do want to get back 1861 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,320 Speaker 1: to your phone calls. But I do also want to 1862 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 1: mention that Mark Maski from the Washington Post, who as 1863 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:34,920 Speaker 1: an NFL reporter for that fine publication, has just put 1864 01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:40,160 Speaker 1: out a tweet saying there's currently no serious consideration of 1865 01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 1: the NFL pausing the season or going to so called 1866 01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:50,719 Speaker 1: home market bubbles with mandatory hotel stays for teams. According 1867 01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:54,439 Speaker 1: to a source, the NFL remains firmly convinced that its 1868 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:58,920 Speaker 1: protocols work when they're followed properly, and that's been the 1869 01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 1: rub here because, as we're learning, according to a news 1870 01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 1: Channel five report out of Nashville, the Titans players purposely 1871 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:11,200 Speaker 1: went to practice on their own, unauthorized away from the 1872 01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:15,160 Speaker 1: team facility the day after it was closed because they 1873 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,800 Speaker 1: got positive test. It was closed because they got positive tests, 1874 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:19,439 Speaker 1: and they all these guys get together away from the 1875 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,240 Speaker 1: facility to have some sort of practice. The question is 1876 01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:23,960 Speaker 1: how many of those guys are the ones that get 1877 01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:29,439 Speaker 1: tested positive subsequently and what protocols were broken? I mean, 1878 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:33,120 Speaker 1: we've seen, they didn't quarantine. Seems to me that the 1879 01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,519 Speaker 1: teams who have strung and I'm not saying this either, 1880 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:38,200 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are probably doing everything they can write. 1881 01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 1: I think the Titans are trying to do everything they 1882 01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,479 Speaker 1: can right get out of the building. They do whatever 1883 01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:45,760 Speaker 1: they want. Some of these we knew this was going 1884 01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,720 Speaker 1: to be the problem. That's the whole in the whole thing, 1885 01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,800 Speaker 1: that's the whole in the in the bubble for these 1886 01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,519 Speaker 1: these franchise. When the guys go home at night and 1887 01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:57,519 Speaker 1: do whatever they want and they get exposed and they're 1888 01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:01,599 Speaker 1: pulling forty different directions by charities, their family members, by friends, 1889 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,439 Speaker 1: or by their own competitive nature in this case with 1890 01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:07,360 Speaker 1: the Titans, exactly so, like you said earlier, they're three 1891 01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 1: and ozo. They know they're playing an undefeated team this week, 1892 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 1: the four and oh Bills. They want to be ready 1893 01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 1: for them, and they can't practice for a week. And 1894 01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:18,320 Speaker 1: they're like, screw that, we're not doing that. We're gonna 1895 01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,639 Speaker 1: go practice. None of us are positive, let's go get 1896 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 1: together in practice. Well, the problem is you don't know 1897 01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:25,439 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be positive two days from now, so 1898 01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 1: you can't do that. You have to go quarantine, that's right, 1899 01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:31,160 Speaker 1: and they didn't do that, according to this report. And 1900 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:34,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the issue. And that's so this and I 1901 01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,639 Speaker 1: heard this, this is report as well as David Sills. 1902 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 1: I think as David doctor s the chief medical medical 1903 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,200 Speaker 1: officer of the National Football League, he is convinced and 1904 01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:47,080 Speaker 1: has stated it on a conference covers reporter to saying 1905 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 1: this on a conference call with all the NFL head coaches, jams, 1906 01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:54,479 Speaker 1: all these guys, and listen, you follow these protocols, it'll work. 1907 01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 1: But you've but obviously you've got to tell your guys 1908 01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:01,040 Speaker 1: when they get outside the building not to do that, 1909 01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:04,639 Speaker 1: not to go out, not to talk to people, don't 1910 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,800 Speaker 1: leave the house, don't go out and hob nob with 1911 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:09,120 Speaker 1: your friends, don't go to charity events without a mask, 1912 01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,560 Speaker 1: don't do anything without Tell your family members to be 1913 01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,120 Speaker 1: just as vigilant and tell your family members they're on 1914 01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:18,760 Speaker 1: that program as well. And that's the rub because right now, 1915 01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 1: and what you and I have talked about, and from 1916 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:25,400 Speaker 1: what it looks like from this end of it, nobody 1917 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,400 Speaker 1: has caught it on the field, right The Vikings did 1918 01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: not catch it from the Titans. To this point, we're 1919 01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,519 Speaker 1: waiting to see if the Chiefs catch it from the Patriots, right, 1920 01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 1: because Gilmour tested positive today and we're waiting to see 1921 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,160 Speaker 1: if the Bills catch it from maury's Hurst. The Raiders 1922 01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:44,760 Speaker 1: player who tested positive today thirty five snaps he was 1923 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,240 Speaker 1: on the field, right. So that's that's the thing right now. 1924 01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,200 Speaker 1: It looks like until we find out those test results 1925 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:54,800 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, nobody's catching it when they're playing. They're 1926 01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:58,040 Speaker 1: all catching it when they're doing something away from the place. 1927 01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,639 Speaker 1: That's the I get it. I mean, we're all we're 1928 01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:05,880 Speaker 1: all human beings. I mean I I mean you walk 1929 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,800 Speaker 1: into a place. How many times have you walked, gotten 1930 01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:10,360 Speaker 1: out of your car, walked into a place you got 1931 01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:11,880 Speaker 1: to go to and had to walk back to get 1932 01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:14,479 Speaker 1: a mask? Well, I haven't actually got into place, but 1933 01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:16,519 Speaker 1: I've I've stepped out of my car. I'm like, I 1934 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:18,559 Speaker 1: haven't get there either. I was when as soon as 1935 01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:19,880 Speaker 1: you go in there, as soon as you see somebody 1936 01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:21,800 Speaker 1: with a mother's a sign usually on the door saying 1937 01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,519 Speaker 1: the last night, I go godly, I had to go back. 1938 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,599 Speaker 1: You know, you were still trying to condition ourselves. But yeah, 1939 01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's but the Raiders doing that at the 1940 01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:34,920 Speaker 1: charity event last Monday. Stupid. And then these Titans players 1941 01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:39,640 Speaker 1: last Wednesday going to practice on their own stupid. Like 1942 01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:44,040 Speaker 1: you gotta know how this virus works. It does not discriminate. 1943 01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:47,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm beside myself with that. If that 1944 01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:49,960 Speaker 1: proves to be true and it's being reported as such, 1945 01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:52,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna blow my mind. Uh. Let's go to the 1946 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,600 Speaker 1: phones at eight oh three oh five fifty and we 1947 01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:57,000 Speaker 1: lead off with Greg. Here, Greg, what do you have 1948 01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:00,559 Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining the show. Well, That's taken 1949 01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 1: a few considerable turns since I've been waiting here. But 1950 01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:06,920 Speaker 1: the number one thing is the safety of these players 1951 01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:09,720 Speaker 1: has to be paramount. I know we all want to 1952 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:11,640 Speaker 1: see games. I know there's a lot of money. I 1953 01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:14,519 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of aspirations among these teams that 1954 01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,120 Speaker 1: have started well. But the safety of the players has 1955 01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,560 Speaker 1: to take priorities in terms of what to do with 1956 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 1: these teams. I thought there might be a distinction between 1957 01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:28,040 Speaker 1: teams that their outbreaks were of unknown origin versus those 1958 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:31,320 Speaker 1: who have done it through breaking protocol, But it seems 1959 01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:34,639 Speaker 1: like the evidence is starting to take more heavily toward 1960 01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:38,600 Speaker 1: teams breaking protocol and If that happens, the players have 1961 01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 1: to be suspended. They have to be suspended, and whatever 1962 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 1: happens in the games, the organization has to take those 1963 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:48,240 Speaker 1: losses because the money isn't come to finding isn't going 1964 01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,880 Speaker 1: to change their behavior. They've got they've got more money 1965 01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:52,800 Speaker 1: than they know what to do with. It's not going 1966 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 1: to really sink in. So it starts to sink in 1967 01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,920 Speaker 1: because they're hurting their team, they're taking away their chances 1968 01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:02,120 Speaker 1: for success, and they're harming their organisation. Yeah, I couldn't 1969 01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,920 Speaker 1: agree more. I think that's well said. Greg. What do 1970 01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,280 Speaker 1: you think about a forfeit would would that be any 1971 01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:11,800 Speaker 1: different than what you're talking about suspending players? Well, I 1972 01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:15,519 Speaker 1: believe if the players on the opposing team can play 1973 01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:19,120 Speaker 1: safely with the one ones who are infected being held out, 1974 01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:23,200 Speaker 1: then they should play the game. Okay, if don't be done, 1975 01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,720 Speaker 1: it should be forfeited. That that that that penalty has 1976 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,040 Speaker 1: to be felt by not just the players involved, by 1977 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,200 Speaker 1: the organization and by their teammates. That's what they respect, 1978 01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:38,080 Speaker 1: rights the opinions of their employers. All right, Greg, A 1979 01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:40,800 Speaker 1: good call and well thought out and I'm just gonna 1980 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna channel my childhood here for a second, 1981 01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:52,000 Speaker 1: My parents were the kind of parents that would overpunish, overpunished, 1982 01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,840 Speaker 1: and you're steal point steve to the point where you 1983 01:47:56,080 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't even think about doing whatever the hell it was 1984 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:03,880 Speaker 1: you did wrong ever again, tell it to your therapists. Overpunish. 1985 01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:08,559 Speaker 1: That's what the league's gotta do here. They gotta over punish, 1986 01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:11,320 Speaker 1: They gotta take a they gotta take a page out 1987 01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:15,519 Speaker 1: of the Mom Brown playbook and over punish and make 1988 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:17,800 Speaker 1: an example of these guys. Yeah, and this is coming 1989 01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,760 Speaker 1: out now. You're you know that Ryan Tannehill was one 1990 01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:22,680 Speaker 1: of the guys that was there that broke protocols last 1991 01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:27,040 Speaker 1: week and went to the workout. Starting quarterback Roger Saffold 1992 01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:31,599 Speaker 1: has tweeted in response to Paul Kaharsky, an NFL reporter 1993 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:34,760 Speaker 1: that's covered the Titans for years. So Paul Koharski is 1994 01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,920 Speaker 1: also reporting, much like the television reporter in Nashville, the 1995 01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:43,240 Speaker 1: Titans broke protocols gathered for a workout last week. Roger Saffold, 1996 01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:48,160 Speaker 1: a starting guard for the Titans, tweets in response, guys 1997 01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:51,840 Speaker 1: just don't work out for fun. This is for their livelihood, 1998 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:55,160 Speaker 1: their family, their opportunity. Say what you want, but I'm 1999 01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:58,559 Speaker 1: standing up for my team always. Are you an idiot? 2000 01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:03,920 Speaker 1: Are you an idiot? I mean seriously, Roger Saffold like, 2001 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:10,720 Speaker 1: be come on, man, you can't say you're working. If 2002 01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:13,519 Speaker 1: you're working for your livelihood. You should have sat in 2003 01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 1: your house for the last week because guess what, you 2004 01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:19,360 Speaker 1: might actually be able to play on Sunday. But now, 2005 01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,400 Speaker 1: because you and fourteen and your teammates decided to go 2006 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:26,760 Speaker 1: practice unauthorized when you should have been quarantining, you're gonna 2007 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:29,479 Speaker 1: cost yourself a game check and maybe cost your team 2008 01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,200 Speaker 1: a game in a year where you've got a window 2009 01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,880 Speaker 1: of opportunity to go and be an ASC champion. You 2010 01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,599 Speaker 1: were within a sliver's chance of winning that last year 2011 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,040 Speaker 1: before you blew a twenty point lead to the Chiefs 2012 01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:43,120 Speaker 1: who went on to win the Super Bowl. And you're 2013 01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna tell me you practice because it's about your livelihood. 2014 01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,320 Speaker 1: If you thought long and hard enough about it, you 2015 01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:52,200 Speaker 1: would have quarantined so you could play on Sunday. Stupid, 2016 01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,960 Speaker 1: Say what you want, I'm gonna stand up for a teammates. 2017 01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:02,280 Speaker 1: He says, I'm okay, But good stand up for your teammates. 2018 01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:04,840 Speaker 1: You can stand with them somewhere else because you won't 2019 01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:06,760 Speaker 1: even be in the stadium on Sunday if they play 2020 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:11,080 Speaker 1: a game. Great job, real smart. Yeah, and now yeah, 2021 01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:17,560 Speaker 1: that's that's stupid. Stupid, that's I get. You can with 2022 01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:21,960 Speaker 1: a capital STA. Spare me the livelihood stuff that you're 2023 01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,280 Speaker 1: talking about that get out of town with that. That 2024 01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,960 Speaker 1: doesn't hold water, Steve. We've been dealing with this for 2025 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:32,040 Speaker 1: going on nine months now. Okay, this isn't a new thing. 2026 01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,880 Speaker 1: It's like we said on the show last week, Steve, 2027 01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:39,719 Speaker 1: this isn't Rudy Gobert in the NBA, you know, touching 2028 01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:42,800 Speaker 1: all the microphones and recording devices. And then two days 2029 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,479 Speaker 1: later he has the virus and it's like, holy crap, 2030 01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:50,320 Speaker 1: this this stuff serious. Like nobody knew anything then. So 2031 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:53,720 Speaker 1: you could not that I excuse Rudy Gobert's behavior, but 2032 01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,160 Speaker 1: at least you can attribute it to, well, the guy 2033 01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:59,320 Speaker 1: didn't know any better. We're nine months down the road 2034 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:03,160 Speaker 1: from there, and we've had other professional leagues dealing with this. 2035 01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:08,360 Speaker 1: So for Roger Saffold to have the nerve to take 2036 01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:12,720 Speaker 1: that stance and defend his teammates for having an unauthorized 2037 01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:18,040 Speaker 1: practice when they should be quarantining. Is that's just just no, No, 2038 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,479 Speaker 1: you can defend them right into a suspension for as 2039 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,120 Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, because I'm totally with you, it's 2040 01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:30,640 Speaker 1: it's idiotic. It's it's yeah, there's you can't. So it's indefensible. 2041 01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:34,360 Speaker 1: It's indefensible. I get it, But I would get it 2042 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:40,599 Speaker 1: if it was done for, say, like their facility flooded 2043 01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,759 Speaker 1: or something like that. But you're talking about a virus 2044 01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:47,360 Speaker 1: that is a pandemic across the entire globe, and you've 2045 01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:51,479 Speaker 1: and you go against what your employers and what common 2046 01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:54,040 Speaker 1: sense and what everybody under the sun has and literally 2047 01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:56,280 Speaker 1: everybody under the sun has had to deal with, and 2048 01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,120 Speaker 1: you're doing something like this in the atmosphere in which 2049 01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:02,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about out, and not only the fifteen guys 2050 01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:06,200 Speaker 1: that went to the workout, but the other forty guys 2051 01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,240 Speaker 1: that are fifty guys that are a part of their 2052 01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:11,080 Speaker 1: team and their coaching staff and listen, they're coaching staffs. 2053 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:15,839 Speaker 1: This is this heads down, This hits down main street 2054 01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:19,400 Speaker 1: of what gets coaches fired. You got Mike Vrabel and 2055 01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:24,599 Speaker 1: a coaching staff of twenty plus people, and when it's 2056 01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,880 Speaker 1: comes out that their players weren't smart enough or responsible enough, 2057 01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,479 Speaker 1: or hadn't been told or made it clear to by 2058 01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,600 Speaker 1: the coaching staff that they shouldn't do stuff like this. 2059 01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:36,400 Speaker 1: This is this gets guys fired. And you talk about 2060 01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,559 Speaker 1: working for your livelihood when you got a head coach 2061 01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:42,280 Speaker 1: who got you to the AFC Championship game, his jobs 2062 01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:44,519 Speaker 1: on the line, his family's gonna you know, his family 2063 01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:46,400 Speaker 1: and his career on the line. So we're all his 2064 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:50,600 Speaker 1: assistant coaches, and you're you're gonna do something like this 2065 01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:54,200 Speaker 1: and this and this environment and think you're gonna get 2066 01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:59,880 Speaker 1: off Scott free. So shortsighted, your brain dead, Your brain dead. 2067 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:01,920 Speaker 1: Let's let's get back to the falls. We go to 2068 01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,360 Speaker 1: Brian and Buffalo has been waiting patiently. Brian, what do 2069 01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,360 Speaker 1: you have for us? Thanks for joining the show. Take 2070 01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:10,880 Speaker 1: my call. I got two quick questions, what uh if 2071 01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:14,280 Speaker 1: the game did get canceled, would the players still get 2072 01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:19,080 Speaker 1: a game check? And also I heard that if the 2073 01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:21,840 Speaker 1: game is canceled that I don't know if one team 2074 01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,920 Speaker 1: or vote teams would have to pay CBS money back. 2075 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 1: Do you know? Yeah, I mean this is all just 2076 01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 1: unfolding as we're sitting here on the air. So I 2077 01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:32,840 Speaker 1: really haven't had a time to here's look that up 2078 01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:36,640 Speaker 1: or corroborate. Here's here's my understanding, and I could be 2079 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent wrong. I'll just give you that disclaimer, 2080 01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:45,560 Speaker 1: no doubt that. Yes, CBS doesn't get the money for 2081 01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:49,599 Speaker 1: the rights fees paid back for that game, whatever those 2082 01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:56,040 Speaker 1: might be. And but in and ask your question, Yes, 2083 01:53:56,160 --> 01:54:00,120 Speaker 1: the players will get a game check because they're doing 2084 01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,280 Speaker 1: what the league says they should be doing. Whether it's 2085 01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:06,479 Speaker 1: playing games or not playing games, it's not it's about 2086 01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,519 Speaker 1: being in the building during the season doing it now. 2087 01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:13,920 Speaker 1: And to me, the players will get paid for that. Yes, yes, 2088 01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:16,160 Speaker 1: because they're in the building working, or at least the 2089 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:18,760 Speaker 1: pills players. I wonder if the Titans get paid, though, 2090 01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:21,080 Speaker 1: because if they're the reason this bone gets canceled and 2091 01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:25,080 Speaker 1: taking off the schedule, I'm sure they would be. COVID's different. 2092 01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:30,080 Speaker 1: It's not it's not a suspension, it's it's a shutting 2093 01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,920 Speaker 1: down of the facility. But there's still But if your 2094 01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:35,880 Speaker 1: responsible behavior is caused for that, well that's different. Now 2095 01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:38,000 Speaker 1: if they go a step further and suspend those guys, 2096 01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 1: nobody gets paid. If they're suspended, nobody gets paid. But 2097 01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:44,640 Speaker 1: just because they shut down doesn't mean that there that 2098 01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:47,560 Speaker 1: their business is shut down. They're they're just stopping work 2099 01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,320 Speaker 1: for a couple of days because of the virus. But 2100 01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,080 Speaker 1: if they get suspended officially, rather than just say stay 2101 01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:56,000 Speaker 1: away from the building for a couple of days, suspension 2102 01:54:56,040 --> 01:54:58,760 Speaker 1: would yes cost everybody in the in the building their paycheck, 2103 01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:01,760 Speaker 1: at least the players. Let's go to DJ in Jamestown, 2104 01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:03,800 Speaker 1: who joins the show, DJ, what do you have for 2105 01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:07,440 Speaker 1: us Ahi? Guys? I just want to comment on It's 2106 01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,640 Speaker 1: just how ridiculous it is that we're even in the 2107 01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:15,960 Speaker 1: situation a man brother where there was no plan for 2108 01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:20,080 Speaker 1: if games have to get postponed or canceled, and like 2109 01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:23,080 Speaker 1: there should have been, the NFL just didn't have a plan, 2110 01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,080 Speaker 1: Like they have their protocols, but they didn't plan for 2111 01:55:26,440 --> 01:55:30,280 Speaker 1: what if there's an outbreak? Well plans to a certain extent. 2112 01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:32,520 Speaker 1: They had division games in the first two weeks of 2113 01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:34,320 Speaker 1: the season and the last two weeks of the season 2114 01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:38,600 Speaker 1: for the entire league under the guise of, well, if 2115 01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:41,000 Speaker 1: we have to lop off games at the end, everybody 2116 01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:44,280 Speaker 1: loses two division games and the division title is determined 2117 01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:48,080 Speaker 1: by four games played instead of six that's one thing 2118 01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:52,040 Speaker 1: they implemented into the schedule and anticipation of that, they 2119 01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:57,320 Speaker 1: have also implemented and rented out Tampa's Stadium for every 2120 01:55:57,440 --> 01:55:59,560 Speaker 1: Sunday in the month of February. So if they have 2121 01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:02,440 Speaker 1: to move the schedule back from the first Sunday in 2122 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:05,080 Speaker 1: February when the super Bowl is to be played, they 2123 01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:07,960 Speaker 1: have a three week cushion to move that super Bowl 2124 01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:10,720 Speaker 1: back three weeks. If the season gets delayed or they 2125 01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:12,760 Speaker 1: have games they have to make up in week eighteen 2126 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,120 Speaker 1: or nineteen, they have the ability to do that. So 2127 01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:17,880 Speaker 1: they did have plans and contingencies in place to a 2128 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:21,840 Speaker 1: certain extent. Do you think they should have added more 2129 01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:24,960 Speaker 1: bye weeks to the like given each team plan for 2130 01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:28,720 Speaker 1: each team gets two bye weeks? Ye? Well yeah, but 2131 01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:31,880 Speaker 1: here's the problem though they couldn't. It would have had 2132 01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,480 Speaker 1: to mint running up to the season like a month 2133 01:56:34,640 --> 01:56:38,520 Speaker 1: early to get those two bye weeks in for each team. 2134 01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:43,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, and plus you got to sign off. I 2135 01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:45,600 Speaker 1: think the real thing was they were just trying to 2136 01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:50,040 Speaker 1: get this thing started and try to understand they didn't. Yeah, 2137 01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,440 Speaker 1: it might have worked out now, but I don't know 2138 01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:54,920 Speaker 1: that they could get the season started that quickly with 2139 01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:56,640 Speaker 1: all the things they had to iron out just to 2140 01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:59,000 Speaker 1: get in the door. So I don't think that was 2141 01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:03,000 Speaker 1: a feasible Because of the ever changing landscape that we 2142 01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:05,320 Speaker 1: saw three or four months ago and the ever changing 2143 01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:09,640 Speaker 1: landscape we're seeing right now, it was really difficult to 2144 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:12,480 Speaker 1: get this league off the ground to begin with, and 2145 01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,640 Speaker 1: to lengthen the schedule. I don't think the players union 2146 01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,200 Speaker 1: would have allowed it would have gone for that for 2147 01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:22,400 Speaker 1: one thing. And I think back in the time when 2148 01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:24,520 Speaker 1: they were negotiating how the league was going to look 2149 01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:25,680 Speaker 1: and how it was going to start, and how the 2150 01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:29,960 Speaker 1: season was going to be structured, I think they really 2151 01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:31,720 Speaker 1: hesitant to do that, and I don't think they could 2152 01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:35,320 Speaker 1: get that off the ground and done. Judy Batista, an 2153 01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:39,760 Speaker 1: NFL reporter for NFL Network, has said she has been 2154 01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:43,560 Speaker 1: told by a source that a forfeit has not been 2155 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:50,160 Speaker 1: part of the conversation concerning the Titans situation. So Paul Kaharski, again, 2156 01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:58,520 Speaker 1: who apparently has obtained photo evidence of this offsite workout 2157 01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:02,480 Speaker 1: violation by the Titans, on September thirtieth, said, regarding a 2158 01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:07,839 Speaker 1: Titans forfeit, the offside offside workout violation took place September thirtieth. 2159 01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:11,280 Speaker 1: The addition of a forfeit as a possibility was added 2160 01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,280 Speaker 1: to protocols in a memo yesterday as yesterday, but there 2161 01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,520 Speaker 1: is no way the NFL can apply it retroactively to 2162 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,240 Speaker 1: what happened the week prior. And that is why a 2163 01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,880 Speaker 1: forfeit will not be a consideration for the Bills Titans 2164 01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,760 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Yeah, they're not going to get punished 2165 01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:29,080 Speaker 1: for the extra workout that they had or the extra 2166 01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:31,440 Speaker 1: workout they work out that they did. They might get punished, 2167 01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:33,800 Speaker 1: but not in the form of a forfeit, right because 2168 01:58:33,920 --> 01:58:38,640 Speaker 1: that was added last yesterday. So the league is ever 2169 01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,360 Speaker 1: changing on this, and because they're trying to catch up 2170 01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:43,600 Speaker 1: and the and the you know, it's like every the 2171 01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,040 Speaker 1: cheatahs are ahead of the enforcers and the rulesmakers. So 2172 01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:49,000 Speaker 1: you got you gotta, you know, take it for what 2173 01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,960 Speaker 1: it's worth. The league's aware of it. There's no doubt 2174 01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:54,600 Speaker 1: now that they did it. Fifteen guys were to work 2175 01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,520 Speaker 1: out outside the facility after the day after they shut 2176 01:58:57,600 --> 01:58:59,680 Speaker 1: the day after they shut it down for COVID And 2177 01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:05,640 Speaker 1: we'll have to wait to see what measures the league take. 2178 01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:10,400 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the photos right now that one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 2179 01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:12,920 Speaker 1: nine ten. There's ten guys in this photo I'm looking 2180 01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,400 Speaker 1: at right now of the Titans on some kind of 2181 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:18,880 Speaker 1: high school field working out on their own after they 2182 01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:23,160 Speaker 1: were told to go home in quarantine. Just irresponsible to 2183 01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:26,240 Speaker 1: the highest degree. We have to take a break, but 2184 01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,520 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get more your comments on 2185 01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, and if we have time, we'll take 2186 01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:33,840 Speaker 1: some phone calls as well. Eight oh three five fifty. 2187 01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:38,520 Speaker 1: As this Titans situation continues to unfold, as it looks 2188 01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:42,400 Speaker 1: like there is definitive proof now that Titans players were 2189 01:59:42,640 --> 01:59:47,800 Speaker 1: participating in unauthorized workouts after their COVID outbreak, and they 2190 01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,880 Speaker 1: did it on Wednesday last week, a day after their 2191 01:59:50,960 --> 01:59:54,160 Speaker 1: facility was shut down. It's going to bring an extra 2192 01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:57,120 Speaker 1: layer to Sunday's game for sure. More on that when 2193 01:59:57,160 --> 01:59:59,920 Speaker 1: we return here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. 2194 02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:15,160 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

Time now to get to the tweet sheet, 2209 02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:02,680 Speaker 1: which we haven't addressed to this point in the show, 2210 02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:04,480 Speaker 1: and the tweet sheet is brought to you by Corrigan 2211 02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:09,400 Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. 2212 02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:11,840 Speaker 1: And leaving us off on the tweet sheet of all 2213 02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,600 Speaker 1: people is Steve who said, this is an unprecedented moment 2214 02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:17,920 Speaker 1: in sports, and I'm not sure the right answer because 2215 02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,760 Speaker 1: it's a virus. I do, however, think that if it 2216 02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:24,160 Speaker 1: is proven that a team is in breach of protocols, 2217 02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:27,440 Speaker 1: that forfeiture should be the penalty. You cannot control the virus, 2218 02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:30,960 Speaker 1: but you can control what you do. And since then, 2219 02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:33,800 Speaker 1: since this tweet was sent, we have mentioned that peers 2220 02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:37,200 Speaker 1: that forfeiture is not on the table because those threats 2221 02:01:37,640 --> 02:01:42,680 Speaker 1: or enhanced punishments were not enacted until Monday of this week, 2222 02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:46,760 Speaker 1: and this violation took place last Wednesday. But holy cow, 2223 02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I mean suspended without pay. They got to do something here. 2224 02:01:50,200 --> 02:01:53,280 Speaker 1: They got to drop the hammer on this Titans team, right, 2225 02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,880 Speaker 1: And I'm going to skip down a number three on 2226 02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:58,520 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. This whole situation, This is from Max. 2227 02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:02,160 Speaker 1: This whole situation is super annoying. COVID sucks. I'm glad 2228 02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm not the league decision maker, but I'd say, hey, 2229 02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:08,480 Speaker 1: it's time to start planning on extending the regular seasons, 2230 02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:11,000 Speaker 1: so there are time from makeup games after Week seventeen, 2231 02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:13,520 Speaker 1: because this won't be the last bump in the road 2232 02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,200 Speaker 1: for sure. And that's why I think that the league 2233 02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:19,480 Speaker 1: is very hesitant to push the pause button. We've talked about, 2234 02:02:19,480 --> 02:02:21,839 Speaker 1: you know, let's just take a week off, let everybody 2235 02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:24,120 Speaker 1: get their houses in order for eight or twelve or 2236 02:02:24,200 --> 02:02:28,440 Speaker 1: fifteen days or fourteen days or whatever, get their house 2237 02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 1: in order for that long and then start their season again. Well, 2238 02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:32,640 Speaker 1: the problem is, what are you gonna do if you 2239 02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:36,520 Speaker 1: get another three weeks in and it happens again, Then 2240 02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:39,120 Speaker 1: you're pushing it, and that's something that the league can't 2241 02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:41,840 Speaker 1: handle with the schedule and the Super Bowl and all 2242 02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:46,760 Speaker 1: that stuff. So it's you can't just push the pause 2243 02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,520 Speaker 1: button and think that that's going to solve everything, because 2244 02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:52,000 Speaker 1: the future says that you're probably gonna get another outbreak. Yeah, 2245 02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:53,680 Speaker 1: you don't know what it's gonna look like in two weeks. 2246 02:02:53,720 --> 02:02:56,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's why the league as a hole 2247 02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:59,120 Speaker 1: from the very beginning as just forged ahead and said 2248 02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:02,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep on going until the circumstances prevent us 2249 02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:05,560 Speaker 1: prevent us from continuing the way we normally do business. 2250 02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:07,760 Speaker 1: I remember saying this Brown as we were running up 2251 02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:10,680 Speaker 1: to the season. You know, if you get the guys 2252 02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:12,440 Speaker 1: that opt in, remember when we were thinking are they 2253 02:03:12,440 --> 02:03:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna opt out or they opt in? And there's sixty 2254 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:19,480 Speaker 1: nine guys or seventy guys opted out. I got thought, 2255 02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, by opting in, it felt to me at 2256 02:03:21,960 --> 02:03:26,880 Speaker 1: that time like they don't care. They got enough guys 2257 02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:28,720 Speaker 1: going around. They're going to plow through this, and I 2258 02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:33,600 Speaker 1: didn't realize that they didn't want well because of the 2259 02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,280 Speaker 1: I didn't understand the virus. They said, listen, you the 2260 02:03:36,360 --> 02:03:38,760 Speaker 1: guys that test positive, they don't get back in the building, 2261 02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:41,400 Speaker 1: but everybody else let's go. Yeah. Well, that's why we 2262 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,200 Speaker 1: have expanded practice squad. Right. But the simple fact of 2263 02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:46,160 Speaker 1: the matter is now, with the Titans doing what happened 2264 02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:49,840 Speaker 1: to them, they shut everything down. Instead of letting the 2265 02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,840 Speaker 1: guys who tested positive stay in the building or I'm 2266 02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:56,400 Speaker 1: sorry backwards, instead of letting the guys who didn't test 2267 02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:59,120 Speaker 1: positive stay in the building and continue to work, they 2268 02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,960 Speaker 1: shut it all down. That's something that we hadn't thought 2269 02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:05,240 Speaker 1: about before the season began. Yes, and I believe by 2270 02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:09,280 Speaker 1: my count, it is twenty two total positives in Tennessee, 2271 02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:13,040 Speaker 1: eleven of whom are players. So you've got eleven players 2272 02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:15,320 Speaker 1: that are on the covid IR list right now for 2273 02:04:15,400 --> 02:04:19,400 Speaker 1: the Titans. It does not appear according to Blaine Bishop 2274 02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:21,640 Speaker 1: and what Mike Rabel said, that any of those players 2275 02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:23,280 Speaker 1: are going to come off that list to be eligible 2276 02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:26,640 Speaker 1: for Sunday's game. Then you have the other ten players 2277 02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:29,920 Speaker 1: who participated in an unauthorized practice when they should have 2278 02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:34,440 Speaker 1: been quarantining away from the facility who could come under 2279 02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:37,440 Speaker 1: NFL discipline and may not be eligible to play this 2280 02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:42,280 Speaker 1: weekend either, and that includes Ryan Tannehill. So you want 2281 02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:45,680 Speaker 1: to talk about shorthanded. They could be down upwards of 2282 02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:49,120 Speaker 1: twenty four players on a seventy player roster if you 2283 02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:52,480 Speaker 1: count the sixteen player practice squad. So you're down twenty four. 2284 02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,320 Speaker 1: That leaves you with fifty six guys. Go get it. 2285 02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:58,840 Speaker 1: That's a chunk of you. That's a chunk your guys, 2286 02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:02,600 Speaker 1: chunk and your start quarterback. Yeah. Uh, let's go back 2287 02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:04,920 Speaker 1: to the phones. We'll go to Kate and Tonawanda at 2288 02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:07,000 Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty. Kate, what do you have 2289 02:05:07,080 --> 02:05:09,920 Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining the show. Hey, thanks for 2290 02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,520 Speaker 1: taking my call, and thank you guys, you know so 2291 02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,160 Speaker 1: much for you know, taking this seriously and you know, 2292 02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:18,600 Speaker 1: speaking responsibly about it. The point that that I want 2293 02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:24,520 Speaker 1: to make is one about individual consequences versus collective consequences, 2294 02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:27,280 Speaker 1: and that's the league really needs to make sure that 2295 02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:30,280 Speaker 1: they're employing both of those things. You know, fines are great. 2296 02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:32,520 Speaker 1: You know you were talking earlier about you know, coaches 2297 02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,280 Speaker 1: being fined for you know, six figure fine for you know, 2298 02:05:35,520 --> 02:05:38,960 Speaker 1: having the math down, like individual consequences are are great, 2299 02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:42,880 Speaker 1: but ultimately, you know, these are situations that affect the 2300 02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:45,800 Speaker 1: whole team, that affects other teams, the whole league, you know, 2301 02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:48,560 Speaker 1: So the league really needs to make sure that they're 2302 02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:52,160 Speaker 1: employing um, you know, collective consequences as well, because even 2303 02:05:52,200 --> 02:05:56,280 Speaker 1: if these individual players you know, organize this unauthorized practice 2304 02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:59,760 Speaker 1: on their own, ultimately it's the team's responsibility and the 2305 02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:02,240 Speaker 1: team problem. And I think this is in part where 2306 02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, the conversation about culture really comes in in 2307 02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:08,240 Speaker 1: franchise culture. And that's where you know, I think, you know, 2308 02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:10,000 Speaker 1: the build, you know, you've got that sense of you know, 2309 02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:13,160 Speaker 1: responsibility and accountability to each other. So it you know, 2310 02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:15,800 Speaker 1: makes me hopeful that you know, we would be less 2311 02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:19,200 Speaker 1: likely to see something stupid happen. But you know, ultimately, 2312 02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, my point is that the 2313 02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:26,080 Speaker 1: league really needs to employ not just individual consequences, but 2314 02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:29,080 Speaker 1: collective consequences as well. That's a hard line to walk, 2315 02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:31,760 Speaker 1: to Kate, because you know, some of these things it 2316 02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:34,440 Speaker 1: could be individual with the fifteen guys that got away, 2317 02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:39,080 Speaker 1: but what if you know, yeah, and how do you 2318 02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:44,360 Speaker 1: if how do you punish the organization for those fifteen 2319 02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:46,680 Speaker 1: guys when the coaching staff couldn't it? I guess you 2320 02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:49,160 Speaker 1: could say, what if the coaching staff said not to 2321 02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:51,080 Speaker 1: do that and they expressly did it? Or what? How 2322 02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:53,080 Speaker 1: is it any How is it any different from that 2323 02:06:53,200 --> 02:06:57,400 Speaker 1: high school coach that sees the loafer at the back 2324 02:06:57,440 --> 02:07:00,640 Speaker 1: of the line not doing the suicide like the rest 2325 02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:04,240 Speaker 1: of you. What does he do everybody runs? He punishes 2326 02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:07,480 Speaker 1: the whole team, right, I mean, if you're an athlete 2327 02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:10,920 Speaker 1: at any level, you've probably experienced that to some degree. 2328 02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I think, why shouldn't that apply here? I think fifteen 2329 02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:15,520 Speaker 1: guys is a big enough and I'm not saying that 2330 02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,600 Speaker 1: a big number exactly drop the hammer on the whole damn. 2331 02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,360 Speaker 1: It is a big enough number that there wasn't any 2332 02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:24,560 Speaker 1: voice in the organization or something somebody who heard got 2333 02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:26,480 Speaker 1: wind of it that didn't say, hey, guys, that's a 2334 02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:29,960 Speaker 1: bad idea, don't do that, or you know, Mike Varabel 2335 02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:35,240 Speaker 1: gets wind of it, and yeah, fifteen guys, you know, 2336 02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:37,800 Speaker 1: I almost I gotta take it all back. There's no 2337 02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:40,720 Speaker 1: way the coaching staff didn't know about that their tea. 2338 02:07:40,880 --> 02:07:43,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely no way that fifteen guys went to workout, and 2339 02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:46,720 Speaker 1: the coaches didn't hear a single conversation about it and 2340 02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:50,760 Speaker 1: haven't made it known. Now you look at the Patriots situation. 2341 02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour just sent out a tweet saying thanks for 2342 02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:56,600 Speaker 1: all the well wishes and this, and that I'm doing okay. 2343 02:07:57,160 --> 02:08:00,360 Speaker 1: He's all right now, he claims, and said it in 2344 02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:04,840 Speaker 1: his tweet that he followed all the protocols to the letter. No, 2345 02:08:04,960 --> 02:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I can't imagine a Patriots player running a foul of 2346 02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:13,400 Speaker 1: the protocol and ticking off that head coach. I can't 2347 02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:17,400 Speaker 1: see that happening right well, and it's happening. So maybe 2348 02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:20,000 Speaker 1: those individual guys that have done it right, and you 2349 02:08:20,080 --> 02:08:23,080 Speaker 1: have one other player, they're backup defensive tack right for 2350 02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots. For a third positive, those guys have been 2351 02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:28,520 Speaker 1: operating under the letter of the law and they still 2352 02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:31,680 Speaker 1: have three positives. And that's why coach McDermott said today, Hey, look, 2353 02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:35,280 Speaker 1: I hope everybody down in Tennessee is doing okay. We 2354 02:08:35,440 --> 02:08:37,920 Speaker 1: feel like we're doing right by the protocols the league 2355 02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:40,840 Speaker 1: has enacted for us to follow, he goes. But we're 2356 02:08:40,880 --> 02:08:43,960 Speaker 1: not perfect, he goes, And even if we were perfect, 2357 02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:47,280 Speaker 1: it's still no guarantee that you're going to get out 2358 02:08:47,320 --> 02:08:50,720 Speaker 1: of this unscathed, because the virus doesn't care how perfect 2359 02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,200 Speaker 1: you're doing it. If you get if you cross pass 2360 02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:59,480 Speaker 1: with the wrong person, it could happen. So and then 2361 02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's admirable, as as the Bills and presumably 2362 02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot of other teams have followed these protocols, it's 2363 02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:09,120 Speaker 1: still not a guarantee. And that's the thing about the 2364 02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:13,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans up until the Minnesota game. Then when you 2365 02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:16,360 Speaker 1: get like six or seven guys that got it, you think, okay, 2366 02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:22,320 Speaker 1: something happened. The Minnesota Vikings didn't get it. You guys 2367 02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:24,880 Speaker 1: got it. There was a hole, there was a cop 2368 02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:30,080 Speaker 1: point of contact, some transmission for all of those guys. Yeah, 2369 02:09:30,200 --> 02:09:33,480 Speaker 1: something got through somehow, some way. There was this hand 2370 02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:37,000 Speaker 1: sanitizer at this spot was empty, and nobody whatever, who knows. 2371 02:09:39,480 --> 02:09:41,600 Speaker 1: You're perfectly willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, 2372 02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:45,080 Speaker 1: saying Okay, somehow, some way those six guys or seven 2373 02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:50,520 Speaker 1: guys got touched or came into contact with the virus. 2374 02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:54,680 Speaker 1: However it happened, and you're saying okay, because they hadn't 2375 02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:59,400 Speaker 1: had any problems before that now you got these guys 2376 02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:01,880 Speaker 1: going in and in this casual workout, You've got now 2377 02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:06,560 Speaker 1: these trickle in positives where that now everybody's the whole 2378 02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:10,840 Speaker 1: organization is crippled by it now, So something's different now there, 2379 02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:15,160 Speaker 1: something's different, particularly given the fact that we know now 2380 02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:18,960 Speaker 1: they weren't or aren't adhering to the protocols when they're 2381 02:10:18,960 --> 02:10:21,080 Speaker 1: going out and having these workouts. Well, you wonder why 2382 02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:25,760 Speaker 1: the spread in the Titans organization has lasted from September 2383 02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:30,720 Speaker 1: twenty fourth to October seventh. I mean that's two weeks. 2384 02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:34,280 Speaker 1: Why is it lasted that long? Because you got idiots 2385 02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:38,640 Speaker 1: practicing unauthorized away from the facility after you shut it down. 2386 02:10:39,080 --> 02:10:42,680 Speaker 1: That's why. Tell me, it's your livelihood. You just cost 2387 02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:45,720 Speaker 1: yourself your livelihood because you may get suspended without pay. 2388 02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:48,760 Speaker 1: How do you feel about your livelihood now, Jordan or 2389 02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Roger Saffold? Unbelievable. It's just the blinders that some of 2390 02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:58,680 Speaker 1: these players have is just it's galling to me. And 2391 02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:01,920 Speaker 1: if I'm another player in the league, oh yeah, I 2392 02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:05,120 Speaker 1: am even more incensed that you have the nerve to 2393 02:11:05,240 --> 02:11:09,680 Speaker 1: take that approach even after you did something wrong. It's 2394 02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:12,880 Speaker 1: just it's inexcusable. Yeah, that's the rotally inexcused. It's the 2395 02:11:12,920 --> 02:11:17,080 Speaker 1: wrong time to double down. If you're Roger Saffold, unbelievable, 2396 02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:19,960 Speaker 1: I really yeah, we're gonna have to And this is 2397 02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:22,080 Speaker 1: just and this is the frustrating thing too. You know, 2398 02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:23,640 Speaker 1: it's hard to wait for these games. So you've got 2399 02:11:23,720 --> 02:11:25,440 Speaker 1: this four no season going if you're Buffalo, got a 2400 02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:27,200 Speaker 1: three and oh season, if you're the Titans, you're you know, 2401 02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:29,080 Speaker 1: all this stuff going on. You're doing this stuff now. 2402 02:11:29,120 --> 02:11:31,840 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are gonna be on pins and needles waiting 2403 02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:35,200 Speaker 1: for you know, Pat Mahomes tests to come back many 2404 02:11:35,800 --> 02:11:37,920 Speaker 1: you know they got It's hard enough to wait on this. 2405 02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Now we gotta wait every twenty four hours to see 2406 02:11:40,400 --> 02:11:43,240 Speaker 1: if there's any more positives? Is it? We gotta live 2407 02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:46,840 Speaker 1: in extended. You extended the incubation period in Tennessee just 2408 02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:50,120 Speaker 1: by doing that practice, just by doing that. Now you 2409 02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:53,360 Speaker 1: got two more guys positive in Tennessee this morning. Who 2410 02:11:53,400 --> 02:11:56,160 Speaker 1: knows who those guys. They were that close to getting 2411 02:11:56,240 --> 02:11:58,880 Speaker 1: back into their building and having things. Let's go shift gears, 2412 02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:00,760 Speaker 1: let's go, let's play Buffalo low, Let's turn it on, 2413 02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:03,240 Speaker 1: let's go. Now, you got these other two guys who 2414 02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:07,240 Speaker 1: come down positive for it, because you know, for who 2415 02:12:07,360 --> 02:12:10,000 Speaker 1: knows are they the guys at the practice. We'll probably 2416 02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:12,080 Speaker 1: will probably find that out eventually too. You kind of 2417 02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:15,680 Speaker 1: get found out, You're gonna get found out. Gets do 2418 02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:19,640 Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do.

Just are doing the right thing.

This 2429 02:12:47,120 --> 02:13:06,000 Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. It is time for what have 2430 02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:08,520 Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? And Steve, I think it's 2431 02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:13,320 Speaker 1: pretty self explanatory. We've learned that the Titans ran a 2432 02:13:13,440 --> 02:13:18,440 Speaker 1: foul of the COVID protocols the day after their facility 2433 02:13:18,600 --> 02:13:22,600 Speaker 1: was closed. There is convincing photo evidence that upwards of 2434 02:13:22,720 --> 02:13:26,240 Speaker 1: fifteen of their players engaged in an unauthorized practice on 2435 02:13:26,280 --> 02:13:30,040 Speaker 1: a high school field in the Nashville area and ran 2436 02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:33,840 Speaker 1: a foul of the COVID nineteen protocols. What the league 2437 02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:37,480 Speaker 1: does now remains to be seen, but man, it's not 2438 02:13:37,600 --> 02:13:40,480 Speaker 1: going to be good for that franchise. They cannot what 2439 02:13:40,640 --> 02:13:43,280 Speaker 1: has done as alerted the league to this kind of thing. 2440 02:13:43,400 --> 02:13:47,480 Speaker 1: They have upped the andy and put forfeiture of games 2441 02:13:47,560 --> 02:13:49,400 Speaker 1: on the table. They won't happen to the Titans for 2442 02:13:49,480 --> 02:13:52,160 Speaker 1: this incidence because it wasn't enforced last week, but it 2443 02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:55,640 Speaker 1: is now. Teams are gonna risk beat forfeiting games by 2444 02:13:55,720 --> 02:13:58,880 Speaker 1: doing stuff of this nature. And like always, we're gonna 2445 02:13:58,920 --> 02:14:00,880 Speaker 1: watch every twenty four hours to see when the new 2446 02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:03,080 Speaker 1: COVID tests come out and the results come for each 2447 02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:05,360 Speaker 1: team and hope that it goes down and not up. 2448 02:14:05,720 --> 02:14:08,720 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander with a lowdown a day early. He'll be 2449 02:14:08,840 --> 02:14:11,720 Speaker 1: on tomorrow's show. Stay tuned for that. Tomorrow we'll have 2450 02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:14,520 Speaker 1: Maddie Glad with a practice update. Steve and I'll catch 2451 02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:15,000 Speaker 1: you tomorrow
