00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Kalida health Al.

2
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking into a radio only edition of One Bill's

3
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Live here on this Monday, and the main reason why

4
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: we are radio only is because it is media day

5
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: for the players on the roster, so mini camps starts tomorrow,

6
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: but the players are here on site today and they

7
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: need use of our studio and the Green screen to

8
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: execute all of their media content responsibilities for the team.

9
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: And an example would be, you know, you see some

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: of those little trivia contests during the games on the

11
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: scoreboard where a player tries to name as many superheroes

12
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: as they can in fifteen seconds. Those are the kind

13
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: of things being shot here today.

14
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: And on the national broadcast you'll have a picture of

15
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: the guy standing there in his uniform with his arms

16
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: crossed and live graphics jump up. And that's where they

17
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: This is where they shoot all that I forgot about this.

18
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: The whole field house is covered with tables full of

19
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: parce to colin, yeah, to be colony and like like

20
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: they'll have a group of tables set up with paraferna.

21
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: Most people in our industry know what this looks like,

22
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: but maybe there's some of you who don't. They'll have

23
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: like all those those eight you know, the Bill's Mafia

24
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: folding tables, they got like ten of them, fifteen of them,

25
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: or however many they have. And this one's with many helmets.

26
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: This one's covered with full size helmets. This one's covered

27
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: with blue footballs. This one's covered with white footballs. And

28
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 3: a player comes out to this little group of there's

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: groups of tables. Josh comes out to his big group

30
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: of tables and he signs everything on those tables. And

31
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: then that's where the Bills, the organization gets all of

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: its autographed stuff. Like during the year, they'll have giveaways

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: and partnerships and business relationships and they'll give that stuff

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: out to those things.

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: And so it's a charitable organizations as well.

36
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: And this is where they get it the players, and

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: I forgot about it that they do this, and uh,

38
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: we're on radio only today. You walk in this place

39
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,279
Speaker 3: and I was like, whoa, my gosh, can you imagine?

40
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Khalil Shakira was out here signing about.

41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: They they had these days when you were playing right

42
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: where you come on what you just have to sign

43
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: stuff whenever they needed you to. So you'd signed like

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: thirty different times.

45
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, there's like five people working in

46
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: the entire building. Well, and they just, hey, we need

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 3: we need a couple of footballs, and you know, signs

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: a couple of footballs. It started to get a little

49
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: bit like this at the end of my career, not

50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 3: for me, but you know, for Jim and Bruce and

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: those guys. And now it's man, everybody's got stuff to sign,

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: you know, everybody. Oh yeah, so they've got you know,

53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: dozens and dozens of items signed by Josh, dozens of

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: items signed by Khalil, dozens of items signed by Dion,

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: all the same, right.

56
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: So they're doing all of that today and a lot

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: of the guys have to get dressed in full uniform

58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: for any of the video components that will appear on

59
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: the scoreboard.

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: A like Anderson was running around his big number seventy

61
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: with pads and everything.

62
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: So, yeah, they got that stuff. I saw Khalil earlier

63
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: this morning.

64
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Kincaid was running around. That's how we actually got to

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: our topic of the day.

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to that in a minute.

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: But it's a weird day here because everybody's back saw

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: Josh trade from through the holes. So everybody's back here,

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: and you know, but they're not. They're doing all this

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: other stuff that's right.

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: Tomorrow it will be football on the field in the

72
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: classroom as it begins the three day mandatory mini camp.

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: And we probably should reiterate. And I tweeted this out

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: earlier today just in case people missed our interview with

75
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: CBS Sports contract analyst Joel Cory, who's a former NFL agent,

76
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: and he kind of reminded us last Friday that we

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: got into James cook conversation with him and what a

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: new contract could look like realistically knowing what he would

79
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: like to get average annual value and knowing what he's

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: realistically going to get at least from the Bills this year.

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: And we were talking about how Cook probably knows he

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: has to play this year, maybe not right away, but

83
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: at some point, and the Bills know that too. And

84
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: then he reminded us of the very important stipulation in

85
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Article eight of the CBA, which is veterans with fewer

86
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: than three accrued seasons. You know, there's there's a stipulation

87
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: in there three or four. Well, that's actually now that

88
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm reading this, he has three accrued seasons. I wonder

89
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: if this would apply to him anyway. Joel Corey was

90
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: saying that he's got to show up to training camp

91
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: by the mandatory report date or he could risk losing

92
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: an accrude season. But now that I'm reading this in

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: the CBA, because I took the time to look it up,

94
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: this is veterans with fewer than three accrued seasons. He

95
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: has three accrued seasons. So that's I don't know if

96
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: that would apply now that I'm looking at.

97
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: It, it'll be. Yeah, that was and maybe that's why

98
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: it was news to us, because if we didn't think

99
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: it really applied to him. And Joel Corey was just

100
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: because he handled so many other guys, he got confused

101
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: about how long James James has been in the building. Nevertheless,

102
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: the thought was that there's no doubt he'll be here

103
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: when he's supposed to be here. Now if there's always

104
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: that chance, But common sense, excuse me, says James Cook's

105
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: best path toward getting the contract he desires is through

106
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: this seasons, on this season on the field. My stance

107
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: on that has not changed, and won't I understand it.

108
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: It's a risk, and believe me, I know as well

109
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: as anybody that it's hard to buck up and say

110
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go out there, take

111
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: that risk, roll the dice, because you're talking about a

112
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: lot of money on the table. If it doesn't go well,

113
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: you're talking about leaving millions of dollars if if he

114
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: gets hurt, if you know, the worst comes worse. Now,

115
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: he's always going to sign another contract. He's a long

116
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: way away from being out a league, but it would

117
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: be a financial hit if indeed he got a catastrophic injury.

118
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: But man, oh man, I'm here in Buffalo. He's got

119
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: a chance to do it. He's going to be used

120
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: in the way that he was last year. He got

121
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: just over two hundred touches. That's not a lot in

122
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: any given season for running back in the NFL, and

123
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: that's just his best path, you know. So I think

124
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 3: he'll show up and play and play well.

125
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean it's to his advantage to play

126
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: and maintain the value that he's built up because of

127
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: the two productive seasons that he's had, and sacrificing a

128
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: season when your career is as short as running backs

129
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: are is probably not the best idea. So yeah, I'll

130
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: look into it further. I came across the fewer than

131
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: three accrude seasons, and now I'm realizing that doesn't apply

132
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: to him because he has three. So I'll keep digging

133
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: through the CBA to see if I can find exactly

134
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: what Joel Corey was getting at.

135
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: If we get out here, if we get into a

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: practice this week and I get a chance to touch

137
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: base with Brandon Bean, I'll ask him how he understands

138
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: it to work. He'll have, obviously have a really good

139
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: handle on what it should be, so we'll find that

140
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: out for you. But that's news to It was news

141
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: to us when Joel Corey took out because we hadn't

142
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: heard that, because that perked our ears up, thinking that

143
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 3: he's got to show up. But then when you get

144
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: into the CBA, he might not have been accurate on that,

145
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: so we're gonna double check that.

146
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: So maybe he was thinking that he wasn't entering his

147
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: fourth year. That's my only guess as to what he

148
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: was thinking. So yeah, in any event, we got to

149
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: go around the NFL before we get to our topic

150
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: of discussion. And around the NFL brought to you by

151
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: Kalida Healthy Official Healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Cincinnati

152
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: Bengals are releasing Jermaine Pratt in a long anticipated move.

153
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: Releasing him saves five point six million on the cap

154
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: for Cincinnati, which many believe is a move to create

155
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: space to try to get a deal done with pass

156
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: rusher Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson has said publicly he will not

157
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: be playing under his current contract this season, which is

158
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: far below current market value for a player who has

159
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: seventeen and a half sacks each of the last two seasons.

160
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: This move was expected as Pratt represented one of the

161
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: largest cap savings of veteran players on the roster.

162
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: If released, Well, we've all seen that.

163
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I remember when we had ESPN NFL Nation

164
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: Bengals reporter Ben baby On. We asked him, you know,

165
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: is Jermaine Pratt going to be released? And should we

166
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: see that as a trigger that they are going to

167
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: try to get a deal done with hendricks In? He goes,

168
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: You could connect those dots, he goes. I can't guarantee that,

169
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: but it would make sense if.

170
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: Cincinnati goes jumps through the hoops, which, let's be honest

171
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: with ourselves. Nobody and particularly me and you thought Cincinnati

172
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: would pay Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins and and

173
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson. We didn't didn't think they'd pay maybe anybody

174
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: except Joe because they never have done that in the past. Yeah,

175
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: they just shy away from big money players a lot.

176
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: Then they signed all three of the first ones, Burrow, Chase,

177
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: and Higgins, and now Hendrickson's lined up. And if there's

178
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: and they're releasing people to get money under the cash

179
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: to do it, I'm now that we thought they're never

180
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 3: gonna do it because they're too cheap. Well, now you

181
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: get to the point where it's like, is it wise

182
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: to spend that big a percentage of your salary cap

183
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: on four guys and that's a huge amount.

184
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking BURROWT Higgins, Jamar, Chase, Hendrickson.

185
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: That's an enormous percentage your cap space on four when

186
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: you got to have forty nine other guys under contract.

187
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I don't know if it's the top fifty

188
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: one count once we get to the regular season, So

189
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: a top fifty one player salaries on your roster.

190
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: So the other forty seven guys, I mean, I don't

191
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know how you build.

192
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: A wait a second, it's the top fifty one now,

193
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: and then when you get to the regular season, I

194
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: think it's everybody in your practice squad.

195
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 3: Maybe I can't. I don't know, but the simple fact

196
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: is I don't know if it's wise. We talked about

197
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: teams around the league, like San Francisco were very top

198
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: heavy rosters, have very high end talent, but they don't

199
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: have just four. They've got, you know, like six guys

200
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: that spread the wealth and that includes Perdy now, right,

201
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: so it's now.

202
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: It's only the top fifty one salaries. Now, once you

203
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: get to the regular season, it's the entire roster and

204
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: your practice squad. It all counts, you know.

205
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: As much as we'd like to cast dispersions on other

206
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: teams every so often, because you know, we are one

207
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: bills live, Cincinnati has been an easy target over the

208
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 3: years because they were run their mom and pop organization.

209
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: By and large, they're perceived that way, and they didn't

210
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: spend a lot of money, they didn't spend cash. Well,

211
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: this this is different. I mean they're doing it and

212
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: if they signed Trey Hendrickson, not only is it vastly

213
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: different than anything we've seen, that franchise do. Now it's

214
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: almost swung. The pendulum swings almost the other way. Now

215
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: they've got a roster that's extremely top heavy. They got

216
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: four really good players stars and a vast drop off

217
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: to the rest of the roster.

218
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and meanwhile the Bills are kind of doing it

219
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the opposite.

220
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're like everybody eats right financially.

221
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and you've extended players, but not in with

222
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: the exception of Josh, for top of the market money,

223
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: like the Greg Russeau extension, the Khalil Shakir extension. Well,

224
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: that's a different category. I'm just talking about this offseason.

225
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: All the guys that they Josh, Rousseau, Shakir Bernard, none

226
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: of them, with the exception of Josh, have been for

227
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: top of the market money in terms of average annual salary.

228
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: Totally respectable contracts, absolutely, but not top of the market.

229
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: And that's how you extend that many guys. Now, the

230
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: difference here is, you know the Cook situation, because he

231
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: is looking for top of the market money. And it's

232
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: interesting because clearly you pay for your quarterback when you

233
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: have won the caliber of Josh. But is it different

234
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: at other positions It may very well be particularly running.

235
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cook, Cook is scheduled to make you know, as

236
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 3: we said, five point seven this year, there are twelve

237
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: guys making more than that on the roster twelve, and

238
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: of course it goes all the way up to Josh.

239
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: That's that's not a top heavy roster, right I. Certainly

240
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: you've got the MVP and he just resigned his deal

241
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: and his cap hit this year is thirty six million.

242
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: But you've got Dawkins, Knox, Milano, Oliver Daikwon, Connor McGovern, Curtis,

243
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: Samuel Spencer Brown. So you've got a long list of

244
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: guys that graduate down from that. And it's not just

245
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: four guys making max contracts and forty seven guys making

246
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: veteran minimum. Yeah, it's now that's a little bit of exaggeration,

247
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: even for the Cincinnati scenario, but that's kind of what

248
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: you're looking at.

249
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: Not to mention the fact that if one or two

250
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: of those guys go down, you don't have the money

251
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: to replace him on your roster. You know, replacement costs

252
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: and stuff that we hear Brandon Bean talk about all

253
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: the time. He likes to leave himself a little cushion.

254
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: You've got to have the number we've heard is probably

255
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: now is probably around five to seven million bucks. Might

256
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: be a loose change, and I call it seven million

257
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: bucks a loose change laying around that you can have

258
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: somebody come in and cover for you for a couple

259
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: of weeks. You got to have it. Yeah, And even so,

260
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: that's Can you imagine going from a you know what,

261
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: thirty million dollar player who's given you seventeen and a

262
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: half sacks a year down to a guy who's on

263
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: the couch.

264
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: Or back end of the roster or your practice squad. Yeah,

265
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: it's tough. I'm very curious to see how things play

266
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: out with the Bengals if in fact they extend Hendrickson

267
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: and gobble up easily more than a third of their

268
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: entire salary cap with four players. Elsewhere around the NFL,

269
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: Packers have parted ways with veteran cornerback Jye Alexander. They

270
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: were trying to trade him earlier this offseason. The Bills

271
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: were one of the teams in conversations with Green Bay,

272
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: according to Fox Sports as Jordan Schultz. After no trade materialized,

273
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: the Packers offered Alexander the opportunity to stay on the

274
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: roster if he'd take a pay cut. He refused, so

275
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: he is now a free agent. Team president Mark Murphy,

276
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: in an interview, said quote, well, first of all, he's

277
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: been a great player for US, obviously elite talent, and

278
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: you know, unfortunately just injured a lot. It's kind of unfortunate.

279
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: That's a big part of the game. The reality is,

280
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: for the last four years for Jair, it's about half

281
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: of the games that he's been able to play. Alexander

282
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: had been playing on a four year, eighty four million

283
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: dollar contract, but he has only played in thirty four

284
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: of the team's last sixty eight regular season games. That's

285
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: exactly half.

286
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: The best ability is availability and you and it's interesting

287
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: that it's Green Bay, right because you know they don't

288
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: really have the ownership community owned team, right, Yeah, they

289
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: don't have the ownership specter over it where the guy

290
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: is saying, listen, get your get the money out of

291
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: the guy or whatever. Uh it. They're looking, they're looking,

292
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: they're look into a black and white a ledger sheet.

293
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: We're only getting So if you made that, that turns

294
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: into one hundred and sixty eight million dollar contract because

295
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: he played half, right, So you're paying that much for

296
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: that little and he just can't do it. He just

297
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: can't do it.

298
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

299
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: And you know what else too, Brownie. They find out

300
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: the replacement cost and the drop off that's there isn't

301
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: as much as the money is. And I've been saying

302
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: this about the running back position. You know, the replacement

303
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: is easier to get the bulk of the production back

304
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: for a fraction of the money, and I think that's

305
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: harder a corner. I agree, I agree, but they're saying,

306
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: we got to do it now. Well, here's the tipping

307
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: point where it's like, we's too much. We've gone so

308
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: long without him.

309
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: We're used to it here. And that's exactly the reason

310
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: why they deemed him expendable. He's missed so much time

311
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: that the young player that's replaced him on the roster,

312
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: and his name is Casey, but he's got a lot

313
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: of starts the last two years and they're like, we're

314
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: okay with him.

315
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: We'd rather have the twenty two million a year back

316
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 3: that year. That's that's that's you know, that's just the way.

317
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: That's what happens.

318
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: You got to do business the way business is being done.

319
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: So people might be wondering, you know, if the Bills

320
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: might still be interested in Ji R Alexander now that

321
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: he's a free agent. I would never say never when

322
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: it comes to Brandon Bean, but I think after any

323
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: potential for a trade disappeared. Whenever those so called talks happened,

324
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: I feel like the Bills pivoted and they have addressed

325
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: their cornerback position twice in free agency with Trey White

326
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: and Dane Jackson, and then three times in the draft

327
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: if you count Jordan Hancock, you know, with Dorian Strong

328
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: and Maxwell Hairston. So I don't know. I kind of

329
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: see that ship as having sailed. Not to mention the

330
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: fact that his track record of being available, I can't imagine. Yeah, obvious,

331
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: it makes him tremendously attractive, but his price has been

332
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: dramatically reduced now that he's a free agent and he

333
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 2: needs a job, right.

334
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: So depending on what they're yeah, depending on what their

335
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: offer was in Green Bay, and they may have made

336
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: that public. They may have told other Channel management we

337
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: made him an offer like this if he'd take this,

338
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 3: and he said no. I don't know what that number

339
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: might be, but you can the scenarios are many, but

340
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: you could see a team like Buffalo week ten of

341
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: the regular season having a spot and think, you know what,

342
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: Let's bring this guy in is in shape, work him out,

343
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: see how he's doing it, and then give him a pro

344
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: rated contract for the last half of the season.

345
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: Or the playoffs.

346
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. If they get a rash

347
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: of injuries, and I'm not saying Buffalo specifically, but some

348
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: team that's thin at corner already, just wait until the

349
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: number comes down every week because you don't have even

350
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: if you pay him twenty million dollars, if you only

351
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: got two games left, it's only you know, two million

352
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: bucks or whatever it is. You know what I mean.

353
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 3: So wait till then, until it's his salary has been

354
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: used up, and then bring him in. You can see

355
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: a scenario like that.

356
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Packers offensive lineman Elston Jenkins is reporting to Packer's

357
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp despite not having a contract extension. He's

358
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: expected to be a hold in and may not practice

359
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: while contract talks continue. At least talks are happening there

360
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: so you know he doesn't want to get fined. Players

361
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: if they miss all three days of mandatory mini camp

362
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: can be fined up to one hundred and ten thousand

363
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: dollars after taking a free agent visit with the Steelers

364
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: last week. Wide receiver Gabe Davis is reportedly paying a

365
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: visit to the New Orleans Saints as he seeks a

366
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: contract after his release from the Jacksonville Jaguars last month.

367
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: Free agent running back Nick Chubb expected to sign with

368
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans as early as today. The twenty nine

369
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: year old has appeared in just ten games over the

370
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: last two seasons due to injury. Steve, when we saw this,

371
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: we were texting back and forth. I am amazed this

372
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: man still has two legs that work, because this guy

373
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: has not had had knee injuries. He has had catastrophic

374
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: knee injuries. Like I remember when he was at Generative.

375
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: I remember watching his leg do bend in a way

376
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: that it's not supposed to. All the way back in

377
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: college when he was playing for Georgia, the heel of

378
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: his cleat stuck in the ground and his leg bent

379
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: at such an awkward angle that that CBS did not

380
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: run a replay. It was that gruesome. He had a

381
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: similar gruesome injury in a game against the Steelers. I

382
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: think it's two years ago now that that injury happened.

383
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: It is miraculous that he can still compete at a

384
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: level that makes him worthy of being considered by NFL

385
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: clubs to play.

386
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: At twenty nine. I bet you he has spent five

387
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: years in full rehabilitation mode. It's just right.

388
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: I feel bad for him, but man, you gotta tip

389
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: your hat to him for coming back again and again

390
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: and again and producing. Like I don't know if he's

391
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: still got it in him, but I'll I'll be the

392
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 2: last person a doubt Nick Chubb. I'll tell you that, right.

393
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: That's a special cat man. Bless his heart. I hope

394
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: I wish the best for him because that I've only

395
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: been in a fraction of what he's been through with

396
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: his knees, that kind of the injuries I had my share,

397
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: but nothing like he's had to go through. And I'm

398
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: telling you, man, it is it's the most grueling grind

399
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: a professional athlete can go through. Bart nothing that is

400
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: the most difficult and spirit breaking process to be put through.

401
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: And he's gone through it like literally four or five times. Yeah,

402
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: I mean, he's like time after time after time, and

403
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: it's just it's amazing that he can bounce back mentally,

404
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: forget physically because it's.

405
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. You should probably be as amazed by

406
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: his mental forty two as much as his because he's.

407
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 3: Not like twenty five, he's twenty nine. He's almost thirty.

408
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: And you get to a point and we have I

409
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: had this conversation this weekend. It's not the physical injury,

410
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: any physical injury that does.

411
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: It to you.

412
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: It's the accumulation of them and your inability to train,

413
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: like when you're young, like when you're a kid coming

414
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: out of college, you've been relatively injury free or even

415
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: in college, and your relatively free. These guys train hard.

416
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: I mean they go one hundred miles an hour, full throttle,

417
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: full intensity, and they and you get better fast because

418
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: you're training so hard. Was you get older and all

419
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: the little nicks and bruises that come from and some

420
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 3: of the big ones. Yeah, you have to train around

421
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: your former injuries and that starts to wear on your emotions.

422
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: Get you train half as hard because you can't go

423
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: as intense as you used to because of the injuries,

424
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: and you get half the return. So it's just soul

425
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: crushing to work all this work so hard, to not

426
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: be able to work really hard, and then to have

427
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: to put up with the lack of returns on your

428
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: training and to do that month after month, year after year,

429
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: is just soul crushing. I'm these guys, and that's why

430
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: you see guys like James Cook saying, man, I ain't

431
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: doing it for less than that money. You know, you

432
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: see guys entire early. You see guys that just don't

433
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: give an effort sometimes because they are just too used

434
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: up to give it. It's it's the one element of

435
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: this game that I talk about constantly that is different,

436
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: that's different, and I think this is To see Chubb

437
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: doing this is remarkable. Nick Chubb is just an amazing

438
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: guy for being able to do this.

439
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 2: He is a freak azoid. Some fallout from Aaron Rodgers

440
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: ultimately signing a one year deal with the Steelers or

441
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: just over thirteen million. According to a report by CBS

442
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: Sports dot Com and ESPN, the Steelers had two prior

443
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: choices for quarterback before settling on Rogers. First, they targeted

444
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, along with a couple of other teams,

445
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: including the Giants. Remember back at the Combine when we

446
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: were there, how people were trying to work a trade

447
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: for Stafford and then he ultimately decides to stay with

448
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: the Rams, and then Pittsburgh tried to keep quarterback Justin Fields,

449
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: but then he left for the two year deal he

450
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: signed with the Jets for forty million dollars and then

451
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: at that point that's when they focused on Rogers. So

452
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: Rogers is essentially third banana, not even second banana.

453
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: And okay, and they said, you know, Mason Rudolph, were

454
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 3: gonna who was fourth banana, And it wasn't Mason Rudolph.

455
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: It had to be It had to be Kirk Cousins, right,

456
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they were gonna try and get him. Right.

457
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think the money was the problem there because

458
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: Atlanta wants to move him, but they want to an

459
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: interested team to pick up the majority of the money

460
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: that he is owed in guarantees this season, and most

461
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: teams have balked at that. The Athletics Diana Rassini is

462
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 2: actually reporting the Falcons expect Kirk Cousins to show up

463
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: for mandatory mini camp tomorrow. Cousins did not attend the

464
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: voluntary stuff in May, but was president for president for

465
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 2: workouts in April. His preference is to still be traded

466
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: to a team where he could start but the sticking

467
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: point has been the money.

468
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. Yeah, Cousins strikes music. Guy's gonna

469
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: come in and put on a good face and do

470
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: everything he can to help the Falcons win until he's

471
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 3: not a Falcon. Yes, it's a tough situation. He's making

472
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: a ton of money. The guy who's playing in front

473
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: of him, Mike Pennick, is not making a ton of money.

474
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 3: He's a rookie.

475
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: He's making decent money.

476
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: It was a right picky, but man, oh man, you

477
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: put on stuff. Let's go, let's play, Let's let's go

478
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: and not k There are worse things to have as

479
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback than Kirk Cousins. He can win games.

480
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, his salary is out of whack for what a

481
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: backup quarterback.

482
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: But the budget for the position is not for the

483
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: Falcons fair Now they're paying because they're paying Panic a

484
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: top fifteen pick and Kirk Cousins a free agent quarterback. Money,

485
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 3: they're paying for elite quarterback play. Now, whether they get

486
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: it or not is another story. Yeah, but that number

487
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 3: doesn't seem out of whack to me for the position

488
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: on a team that you know, thinks they can win

489
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: football games.

490
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: So that's around the NFL topic of discussion for you today.

491
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: We decided we were kind of inspired by seeing the

492
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: Bills players trotting through the field house signing anything under

493
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: the sun that is football related, helmets, numbers, jerseys, penance hats.

494
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: You know.

495
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: I even saw a couple of golf flags out there

496
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: to be signed, among other things. So with that in mind,

497
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: we thought we would ask you, you know, what is

498
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 2: your favorite piece of sports paraphernalia or an autograph that

499
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: you might have from a professional athlete. We've all got

500
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: our favorites, so what is yours that is part of

501
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: your collection? Eight oh three oh five point fifty one

502
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty those are the

503
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: numbers to join us, and we have open lines for

504
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: you there.

505
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: We're going to go to break now in a couple

506
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: of minutes because I was gonna ask you do you

507
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 3: I mean, cause your voice of the Buffalo Bills and

508
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: you've been in this building for twenty plus years, right, right,

509
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: you got anything?

510
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot from here, believe it or not.

511
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: Like first, first things first, even when I was a

512
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: kid and I was a nutso baseball card collector, right,

513
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. I wasn't a huge

514
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: autograph kid, you know what I mean? Like, I know

515
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: exactly I would rather, and I think I for as

516
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: long as I can remember, I've been this way. Me

517
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: and my buddies, we'd go somewhere where we know we'd

518
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: be able to see athletes or whatever. We'd we'd even

519
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 2: go to card shows as young kids because they'd have

520
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: you know, a retired player there signing and whatnot. And

521
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: my buddies would be gaga for the autographs. And I

522
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: would rather, and I remember this from a young age,

523
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: I would rather just say hi to the player, shake

524
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: his hand, and talk to him for two minutes, then

525
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: hand him a ball and just have him sign and

526
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: walk away. Do you know what I'm saying? So I

527
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: kind of prior I kind of drifted to that side

528
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: of it. My funniest encounter though, you know, I was

529
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: fifteen years old. I'm in a burger restaurant which will

530
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: remain nameless. It's no longer a chain anymore. They went

531
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: out of business. And I'm in line. My family's there,

532
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, hey, Dad, can I get a second burger?

533
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm starving, you know, So you know fifteen years old,

534
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: your metabolisms run like. So I'm in line to go

535
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: get an extra burger and this guy comes in with

536
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: this entourage behind him, just walking into the restaurant. It's

537
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: Darryl Strawberry in nineteen eighty seven. My gosh, so you're

538
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: removed from the world.

539
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: Now.

540
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: I'm a Yankees fan, but I'm smart enough to know

541
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: that's Daryl freaking Strawberry. So he comes in and he's

542
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: in the line directly behind me. So I look at

543
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: him and I'm like him, mister Strawberry, Like, I just

544
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: introduced myself and say, hey, how you do when you're

545
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: having a heck of a season? Good luck win an

546
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: MVP this year. So he said, oh, thanks very much,

547
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: appreciate it. And you know, it wasn't really much more

548
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 2: than that, but I'll be danged. The guy goes and

549
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: hits thirty eight homers and wins MVP in eighty seven

550
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: for the National League.

551
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: Thanks to you, and you're well wishes. Yeah, no doubt.

552
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: So I tell my dad, you know, if you didn't

553
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: give me money for that second burger, I would have

554
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: never met Darryl Strawberry. How about that.

555
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

556
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: So my dad takes full credit. My dad takes full

557
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: credit for that.

558
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: Because he's generous enough to get his kid an extra.

559
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: Bad that's right, extra hamburger.

560
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: That's dad stuff right there.

561
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, But those are the kind of interactions that I

562
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: kind of value more than just getting the guy's yeah

563
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: name on a piece of paper. What do you have?

564
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: My one quick story would be I've told you this,

565
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: the Walter Payton story. I was at Northwestern in Chicago.

566
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: That was awesome, and they when it was inclement, the

567
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: Bears didn't have an out indoor practice facility, much like

568
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: the Bills didn't at that time. So the Bears were

569
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: practicing in the Northwestern Stadium because they had artificial turf.

570
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: His brain, and they were in the midst of it

571
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: was like just before the eighty five Bears, right, so

572
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: it's like eighty three eighty four Bears, right, they were building.

573
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: Ditka was the coach and the whole thing, and Walter

574
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: Payton was, you know, the man. So I'm coming down.

575
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: I just work out coming down out of the locker room,

576
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 3: big fouryer from our stairway, coming out of the locker room,

577
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: and there at the bottom of the locker you know

578
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: how you see somebody out of context, you're not sure,

579
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: Like Darryl Strawberry and a burger joint. You might like,

580
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: is that really? Well, there's none of that, because I

581
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: walked down and there in shoulder pads, holding a helmet

582
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: under his arm, with a headband, and they give floor bears, Jersey,

583
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: gray sweatpants and kangaroo shoes. There he is is Walter Payton.

584
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: And you have the conversation with yourself real quick?

585
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 2: Should I can?

586
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: I can? I go say hi? Well, it's only there's

587
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: me and and Ron Rivera was with him, the linebacker

588
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: and Walter, So I'm thinking it's just three people. I'm

589
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: gonna go. Yeah, I'm gonna go say hi. It's the

590
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: best guy to ever lace him up. So I go

591
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 3: over and I said, hey, mister Peyton, nice my name.

592
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: I told him my name. I'm just want to say hello,

593
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: and I'm a big fan. I just appreciate the way

594
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: you play a game, mister Rivera. It's nice to meet

00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: you guys. You good luck. I hope you guys use

Speaker 3: the Monday night is Monday night game that week or

00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: something like that. And they go, hey, thanks, that's nice

598
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: to me, and I go, I'm trying to fumble for

599
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: something to extend the conversation for half a second, and

600
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: I go, you're the only guy I see wearing those

601
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: kangaroo shoes. You like them or is it a dealer?

602
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: He goes, hey, he goes, they're the best things ever,

603
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: these shoes are. I love them. He goes by the way,

604
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: He goes, well, what size do you wear? And I go, oh,

605
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: I wear size nine. And he goes, oh, he goes,

606
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: if you were my size, i'd scoot you a pair.

607
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: You could try him out. Well, his feet he wore

608
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: like this, literally, he wore sized six shoes. His feet

609
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: what tiny? Now. I shook hands with him. His hand

610
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: it was like shaking hands with a suitcase. His hands

611
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: were huge, his feet were like tiny.

612
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

613
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe. I go, oh, my gosh. So I

614
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: missed out on the shoes, right. So I was like, well, okay,

615
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: I appreciated, good luck, great talking to you, you know,

616
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: and all that. So that that was it. The next

617
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: time I see Walter Payton, he just retired. He was

618
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: out in Hawaii flipping the coin for the AFC NFC

619
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: program and I was a team captain. And when I

620
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: met him in Northwestern I mean I looked twelve. Yeah,

621
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: I mean I was a kid. I was like a

622
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 3: cow wow. And the next and I didn't. I did

623
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: not say anything to him. I didn't bring it up. Hey,

624
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: remember when I right, I didn't say anything to him.

625
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: But that was the next time I saw him. He

626
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: was retired. He was flipping the coin pro Bowl and

627
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 3: I was, that's great. And I'll say you this. He

628
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: taught me something about treating people nice. I always try.

629
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: I don't always do it because sometime once in a

630
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: while you're not there or whatever. Yeah, but I always

631
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: he treated me so nice, and that's awesome. I'll ever

632
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: forget it.

633
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: So that's great.

634
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 3: That's my wall. That's my story.

635
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: We are up against the break. I just thought of

636

00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: you and kind of having a little bit more of

648
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: a lighthearted program today because we got all the players

649
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 2: making their way through the field house today taking care

650
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 2: of all of their signing obligations for charitable items, raffle things,

651
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: whether it's helmets, jerseys, even the video content that you

652
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: see in the stadium on the scoreboard during the season

653
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: for games, you know, in between action and some of

654
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: the little trivia contests they run with the players. Those

655
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: are all getting filmed, shot and players are signing whatever

656
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: they need to today for the balance of the upcoming year.

657
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: They get it all out of the way in one

658
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: shot for the players, so they're not constantly bothered, Hey

659
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 2: can you sign this this week? Hey can you sign

660
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: that this? They do get it all done in one

661
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: fell swoop and that's today. So with that in mind,

662
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: we thought we'd pose it to you, what's your favorite

663
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: piece of sports memorabilia that you own or an autograph

664
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: that you have? And I had thought of it while

665
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: you were telling your Walter Payton story, Steve, I thought

666
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: of the thing that I have that I enjoy the most,

667
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: you know, among the things that I've collected over the years,

668
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: and it's the nineteen seventy eight Yankees World Series roster.

669
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: I have the entire team on a baseball signed. That's

670
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: pretty good, all right, seventy eight Yankees. So that's the

671
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: repeat champion team that was managed by Bob Lemon. Because

672
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: Billy Martin got fired halfway through the season by George

673
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: That was the first time he got fired out of

674
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: it was the first five e.

675
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: Seriously, that was the first time he got fired.

676
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: Eight halfway through the season. It was like middle of July.

677
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: They won the World Series in seventy seven, and in

678
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 2: seventy eight they're like nine games out of first place.

679
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: Fires him. I believe I have my years right here.

680
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: They run, they run, They get Bob Lemon as interim manager,

681
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: they run down the Red Sox tied with him. On

682
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: the last day of the regular season, they have to

683
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: have a playoff, and that's the Bucky Den game.

684
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: With the cork bat.

685
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Uh, well, it was Mickey River's bat. Mickey handed him

686
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: the bat and he said, use my bat, there's a

687
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: home run in here, and he put it in and

688
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: he hit a home run. Well, whether there was cork,

689
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: we do not know.

690
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: What do I know?

691
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: Like im Bucky Den hit it over the Green Monster

692
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: and you know they go to the AL Championship Series

693
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: and the rest is history. But yeah, so I've got

694
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: that whole roster on a baseball.

695
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: That's nice.

696
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: So that's that's probably number one for me. I think

697
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: I told you this story. So I don't know how.

698
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: So I went to the I go to this game

699
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 2: in seventy nine, and I don't know how. I'm with

700
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: my dad, a friend to his and his son, and

701
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: we're at this we're at the game and all of

702
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,440

Speaker 7: Just like.

705
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: Right, and he's actually got it. Whoever gave them to

706
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: him had him in a like a plastic bag, you know,

707
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: so the autographs wouldn't get smudged or anything. You know,

708
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: it's a warm summer day, you know, if you're holding

709
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: that ball in your hands, sweat here just smear all

710
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: the names. So it's sitting in the bag. So I

00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: got I got this thing in my glove and I'm

712
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: just holding in my glove the whole game. And we're

713
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: riding in the station wagon on the way home and back.

714
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: Then we're in the back of the station wagon, me

715
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: and this kid flopping around and yeah, no seatbelts. And

716
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, you want to play some ball, like,

717
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: just roll the ball back and forth. So I go

720
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: autograph ball out of the plastic bag and we're rolling

721
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: it back and forth against the carpeted ground, you know,

722
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: the carpeted surface in the back of the station. That

723
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: thing was a smudge fest. By the end of it.

724
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, we're using your ball, we

725
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: ain't using mine, right, I mean I was six and

726
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,120

727
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: do not ruin it.

728
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,160

Speaker 2: plastic cover.

00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: and uh. I was looking to see what people UH

753
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: were sending in and there were some people on the

754
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: tweet sheet that had some stuff and I was looking.

755
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: So people were enjoying this. It was pretty good because

756
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: we had some responses. One guy William, He's got a

757
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice autographed football and he's got a baseball signed

758
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: by Derek Junior and Bernie Williams. It's pretty good. Like

759
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: you're talking about multiple champions Jerry Rice. You know, right,

760
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: do you think anybody's gonna touch Jerry Rice's receiving yardage

761
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: record He's had like twenty three thousand yards?

762
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 3: Well, you never say never. That's a lot, man, it

763
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: is a lot. And and let's face it, there's there's

764
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: a confluence of events that allowed him to do that.

765
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: First of all, a long career with a great.

766
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 2: Player, two great players, Mont and.

767
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about him being a great player. Yeah,

768
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 3: and an organization that was stable and obviously back to

769
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: back Hall of Fame quarterbacks. It'll be difficult, it'll be

770
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 3: difficult for anybody to reach that because even today and

771
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 3: they with player safety and all that stuff, it's hard

772
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: to play that long and be that productive. But you know,

773
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: think about it, we never thought there'd be a team

774
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: like you know Patriots. Now you got the Chiefs. There

775
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: have been they've been five out of last year, or

776
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: they've been to four out of the last five Super

777
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 3: Bowls or three out of last five or something like

778
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 3: whatever the number is there. They could go to their

779
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: fourth Super Bowl this year in a row. You never

780
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 3: thought anybody'd go to four in a row, and let alone,

781
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: you know, like the Bills did, let alone win a

782
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: couple well along the way. So, uh, you never say

783
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: never about any of that stuff. H But let me

784
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: tell you something for now. I can't picture anybody in

785
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 3: the National Football League at the present moment who could

786
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: even touch it.

787
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

788
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: Now, I mean Jamar Chase, he's not getting there. With

789
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, it's just not gonna wow that long.

790
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, T Higgins being there kind of you're just not

791
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: gonna play long enough, right, And then Jeter and Bernie Williams.

792
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: I mean that's Bernie's my favorite player on those Yankees teams,

793
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: probably nineties. I know a lot. You know, everybody loves

794
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: Jeter and I get it, you know, Captain Clutch and whatever.

795
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: But Bernie Williams was He was a He was unbelievable.

796
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean five tool players switch hitter, could hit for power,

797
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 2: could hit for average, could steal bases center field like

798
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 2: he was. I still think he's underrated as a player.

799
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: I don't think there's enough respect for his career. He

800
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: was unbelieving and he was clutch too. Like in the playoffs,

801
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: he was unbelievable. I think his playoff average is it's

802
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: pretty high in Yankees' history. And I mean you're talking

803
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: like Babe rut lou Gerig people like that, and I

804
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: don't think he's too terribly far behind them. Yeah, that's

805
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 2: a good autograph to have along with Jeter. That's a

806
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 2: pretty good baseball I would hold on to that one

807
00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 2: because that's gonna appreciate in value for sure. Uh. Another

808
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: one here, and you'll like this one. Steve uh the

809
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: Ghost to Jack Camp. He says, I have my ticket

810
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 2: stub from the Houston comeback game autographed by Frank Reich.

811
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: If you're gonna get anybody to sign your ticket stub

812
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: from that game, that's the guy. Yeah, that's the guy.

813
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: One A would be Andre because he had three touchdowns

814
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: from Marv. Well, yeah, Marve would work.

815
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: Mar Marv's still around turns one hundred this summer.

816
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: Man.

817
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's that. Yeah, that's a good one. And

818
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: obviously that's that is commemorative of one of the all

819
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 3: time great moments in Buffalo sports history of any sport,

820
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: any time, anywhares, the comeback game and Frank and how

821
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: that all came about. And I mean, anybody you talk

00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: to knows in Buffalo is from has Buffalo roots, knows

823
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 3: about that game and about all the implications that had tremendous.

824
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah that's good and that you know that's back in

825
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 3: the old paper take.

826
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: Yes it is. And you know the running joke is,

827
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: you know a million and a half people say they

828
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: were at that game. This guy's got the paper ticket

829
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: to prove it.

830
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: Good for him. So that's a heck of a one.

831
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: Andrew says, I remember meeting Rick Martin one time at

832
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: a local establishment, so nice got to sign napkin from

833
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: him because it was the only thing I had. Unfortunately

834
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: I've lost that napkin, but I'll never forget the moment

835
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: I met him. R I p Rick. That is the worst.

836
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: Like if you are an autograph seeker and then you

837
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: see somebody and you have nothing for them to sign. Yeah,

838
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: that's a that's rough. That's a horrible feeling. That's just

839
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my gosh, the moment is that I

840
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting this moment, but this is so cool and

841
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: oh god, I am willfully unprepared.

842
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 3: I've signed my share of gum rappers.

843
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what is the worst thing you've ever signed?

844
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 2: His gum rapper? The bottom. There's got to be something worse.

845
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: Have you ever signed somebody's body parts?

846
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: Oh? Sure, that's easy. Yeah, I've done that, arms and.

847
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: Chests and forehead.

848
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 3: Never a forehead because that would be special. You know, shoes, shoes, skateboards,

849
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: skateboard okay.

850
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 2: You know that kind of stuff, entering into Tony Hawk's

851
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: territory there.

852
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, all that's well, you know, they whatever, they've got

853
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: hats obviously something like and and you laugh. I've signed

854
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 3: a ton of Cowboys gear. People coming up and say

855
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 3: signing this you.

856
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: Know, really, Yeah, isn't that weird?

857
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: That's just the way they do it. Yeah, yeah, And

858
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 3: it's not that, you know. And I don't have a

859
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: problem sign anything anybody wants. Usually I won't. I will

860
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 3: not sign any Hall of Fame stuff, but I will

861
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 3: I signed everything else, you know.

862
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: Can you know what is what is the hardest thing

863
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 2: to sign and have your autographs still look legible?

864
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: I mean that is tough, and Napkin's tough. Usually people

865
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 3: get their jerseys if they're wearing it, you can usually,

866
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 3: but when you sign something a jersey. You gotta have

867
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: him stretch it tight like a drum have not put

868
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: a backing behind it, but just stretch it tight and

869
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: sign it like a drumhead. That works really good. But

870
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 3: like deflated footballs are hard to do, you know, and

871
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: anything soft and squishy like NERF football a kind of tough.

872
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: You know, you can't even press down.

873
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: But ah, well, but you give it, give it a

874
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: shot every time.

875
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: Eric says, I have a bills had with signatures from Poyer,

876
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: Harrison Phillips, Cody Ford, Matt Barkley, Jerry Hughes, and I

877
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: believe a punter I don't remember who though, all signed

878
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: after the first return of the Blue and Red practice

879
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: at the stadium. Great experience. That is the one caveat.

880
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: Like when there is a gaggle of players, you know,

881
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 2: at a game or a practice or whatever that just

882
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: comes streaming by and you're not paying attention who's signing.

883
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 2: There's a good chance you're not going to be able

884
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: to recognize one or two of those signatures, and now

885
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: you don't know who you have.

886
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 3: Very true, that's true. I've well, yeah, you can imagine,

887
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: I've got stuff from the Pro Bowls and stuff where

888
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: they'd lace they'd give us sets of cards, you know

889
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 3: that we're all Pro Bowl cards, and you'd get the

890
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: guys to sign in the locker room stuff. But then

891
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 3: so you'd have it. But there are other times where

892
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: you get a football signed by all the guys and

893
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, I don't know, there's no number or whatever.

894
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's just it's crazy.

895
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here, but back with

00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 8: the topic. My dad passed on, so I've inherited and

926
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 8: someday my grandson will have it. But anyways, love the show.

927
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, that's a that's a good one. You're you're

928
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 2: bat in eight eighty five. There, right, let's go to

929
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 2: Steve in Buffalo next. What's up, Steve?

930
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 9: How are you guys? Hey? You know, the jewel of

931
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 9: my collection and in Phill's memorabilia, I got to replica

932
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 9: Phill's helmet. I hope this don't turn the Stevie story hour,

933
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 9: but it goes back to the sixties era. Seven head

934
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 9: coaches have signed this helmet in my lifetime. There's a

935
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 9: couple hundred autographs of guys that you know. I personally

936
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 9: met Steve. I met you at a Hall of Fame induction.

937
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 9: I think it was when Andre or maybe when James

938
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 9: Lofton was inducted. You're nice enough to take pictures with

939
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 9: all of us, but the helmet goes back. I got

940
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 9: most of the players, most of them from the sixty

941
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 9: four to sixty five championship team, all the way up

942
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 9: to and through the Super Bowl four Super Bowl teams.

943
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 9: So there's quite a lot of names and stories, and

944
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 9: you want, in particular to say real briefly, I was

945
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 9: at a Jim Kelly golf tournament at Broadwood Country Club

946
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 9: years ago with my friends from Just Pizza and like

947
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 9: where you guys are today. I bought my helmet and

948
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 9: set it on a table they had. They had you know,

949
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 9: a flats and helmets and balls. Flats are jerseys and

950
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 9: pitchers and such, and you know, seventeenth Hall. They had

951
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 9: a tent set up with all kinds of refreshments and

952
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 9: food from Just Pizza, and the next coursem that came

953
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 9: up was Phil Hansen, Jamie Fire from Mash I Forget

954
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 9: the Linebacker, Sean a junior sale and on the fourth

955
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 9: of the fourth room was Joe Montana. My friends that

956
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 9: are out there, there's a thousand of them, listen. They

957
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 9: all know the story. They still never let me live

958
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 9: it down. But as they were going through and we're

959
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 9: getting picturessh I look over the side. I see Joe

960
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 9: Montana grabs my helmet and goes to scribble his name

961
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 9: on the helmet. And I darted over to him and

962
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 9: that helmet out of his hand like a linebacker stripping

963
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 9: up doing a strip sack on a blitz on the quarterback,

964
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 9: and I grabbed it out of his hand just before

965
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 9: he put the magic marker on the helmet, and I said, no, Joe,

966
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 9: you can't sign that, and he blew a fuse. He

967
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 9: was like, you know, taking it back. He said, well

968
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 9: what would I do wrong? And my friends were freaking out,

969
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 9: like that's Joe montanue. I said, I know it is,

970
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 9: but he can't sign that helmet. It's a Bill's alumni helmet.

971
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 9: And to this day. They never let me live the

972
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 9: story down there. Wo I wouldn't let Montana sign the helmet.

973
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 9: It is what it is. You never played on my

974
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 9: football team. I did eventually get him to sign. Somebody

975
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 9: did for me. We went to the eighteenth poll and

976
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 9: he signed forty nine the baseball cap. But the story

977
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 9: is legendary, as are the names of all the people

978
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 9: that I've been blessed not only to drink beer with,

979
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 9: to smoke a cigar with, and hang out with at

980
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 9: every major eventure. Could imagine that's just a very blessed

981
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 9: and lucky guy to have this speak all.

982
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: Right, that's a good one and a wise move to

983
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: have somebody else bring the forty nine ers helmet to

984
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: Joe Montana just one hole later, because odds are that

985
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 2: guy wasn't gonna sign that for you. You imagine the

986
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 2: same guy comes up.

987
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 3: Do you have to rip it a hell oft at

988
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 3: sign this one?

989
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 2: I need you to sign this one.

990
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 3: I'll say this.

991
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 2: You would have got hit over the head with a

992
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 2: golf club.

993
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 3: That's not That's not as uncommon as he makes it sound,

994
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 3: because there's always, you know, there's always, particularly in this

995
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 3: day and age, with the paraphernalia market going crazy.

996
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but like you were saying, you signed Cowboys stuff.

997
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that's for that's for fans that that

998
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 3: you know, that don't Super Bowl stuff. Yeah. But now

00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 3: you've got companies that I want. They want all pros

1000
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 3: on this one. They want Hall of Famers on that one.

Speaker 3: They want d D category specificsive guys, they want defensive guys,

1002
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 3: they want it that kind of thing. They want all

1046
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 11: Cowboys because that was when they were the super Bowl champions.

1047

1048
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 11: a ninety five anyway, went down there. I saw Sam Needles,

1049
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 11: he was stretchy, and I'm screaming at him, screaming at Sam. Yeah,

1050
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 11: I really like Damuels.

1051
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 10: He's a great player.

1052
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 11: And he finally gives me the weekend gun after like

1053
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 11: I've got ten minutes on hand in before. It was

1054
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 11: so funny because you know, I still remember, you know,

1055
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 11: it's been thirty some years and that's the game Larry

1056
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 11: Allen ran down the interception.

1057
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I know about that.

1058
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 7: I was there for that.

1059
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was there to If you look at the highlight,

1060
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 11: I'm way at the end zone, so it was on

1061
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 11: the other side of the field. But I remember that place exploded.

1062
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 11: That was that was crazy.

1063
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. That was one of the all time

1064
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 3: great plays by an offensive lineman in a in a

1065
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 3: spot where you never really thought they would see.

1066
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: Larry Allen was a giant man.

1067
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 3: Well well the thing, yeah, and he ran him down.

1068
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: He ran he's I mean, even by today's standards, he's

1069
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 2: a giant man. Yeah, he's like three thirty seven.

Speaker 5: a built in story. I used to uh, I used

1079
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 5: to watch the NBC Sports in the summer. They'd have

1080
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 5: this little lighthearted, you know, obstacle course challenge where running

1081
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 5: backs would go against other running back that kind of stuff. Yeah,

1082
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 5: Thrman Thomas was going was pitted against Emmitt Smith on

1083
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 5: this obstacle course and like one of the second heats

1084
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 5: or something, they had both advanced and Thurman mopped the

1085
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 5: floor with EMMITTT. I mean he did, and it's all

1086
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 5: in fine. But afterwards, EMMITTT. Smith is jumping up and down.

1087
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: You jumped.

1088
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 4: You jumped, you know, and it was.

1089
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 5: All tongue in cheek and everything.

1090
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 4: But he was adamant about it. You Thurman, you jumped, Man,

1091
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 4: you jumped.

1092
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 5: And I remembered that. And I was twenty years old

1093
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 5: and I was just getting into autographs. And back then

1094
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 5: you could send a self address stabbed envelope to one

1095
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 5: Bill's drive and more often than not you'd get the

1096
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 5: card back autographed and so I went ahead and did

1097
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 5: that for Thurman, trying to get Thurman's autograph, and I

1098
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 5: put a little note in there from me and I said,

1099
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 5: by the way, I know you didn't jump when you

1100
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 5: beat Emmitt and the Obstacle Course Challenge. And a couple

1101
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 5: of weeks later, sure enough I got the card back

1102
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 5: and it was autographed Kenny.

1103
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 4: You damn right, I didn't jump.

1104
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 5: Derman, Thomas and all my but I was thrilled, and

1105
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 5: all my buddies are like, well, you can't sell that

1106
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 5: now it should have just been his name. You can't

1107
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 5: sell that. And I'm like, I'm never going to sell this,

1108
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 5: And I said, besides, it comes with a story. If

1109
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 5: you read that and you don't know the story, you

1110
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 5: don't know what the heck's going on. So I love

1111
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 5: that's my favorite autograph because, like I said, it comes

1112
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 5: with a personalized story there. So I thought that was

1113
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 5: pretty cool.

1114
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty cool. They're impersonalized for you. That's awesome.

1115
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: That's a typical therad response. Yes, that's good to Bob

1116
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: and Clarence. Next what you got for his Bob?

1117
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 12: Hi, guys, first time, long time. I was wanting to

1118
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 12: say that I started collecting memorabilia in the mid eighties

1119
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 12: and early two thousands. On eBay was a very elaborate

1120
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 12: gold bracelet that oj made for the all the players

1121
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 12: on the Electric Company, and it had a kind of

1122
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 12: a three D gold football with number sixty eight and

1123
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 12: a big rope gold chain and it was listed by

1124
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 12: the Mail Injustice Joe D sixty eight. So this price

1125
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 12: was very, very expensive. But I contacted Joe D and

1126
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 12: told him I was a collector, and I obtained from

1127
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 12: him his red helmet from his last year at the

1128
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 12: Bills in eighty five. His game used helmet, and the

1129
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 12: helmet changed hands to a friend of mine who then

1130
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 12: took it to an autograph show. And Joe then became

1131
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 12: in the Hall of Fame. So I had a very nice,

1132
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 12: very nice legible silver paint pens autograph with his name

1133
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 12: and hof sixty eight. It turns out that after he

1134
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 12: got into the Hall of Fame, Joe donated this bracelet

1135
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 12: to the Hall, and it was from a jewelry company

1136
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 12: in Beverly Hill. So there is no doubt the history

1137
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 12: of it and what it was. But the helmet is,

1138
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 12: you know, really beat up, a beautiful red with the

1139
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 12: blue face mask and that sits in my den and

1140
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:19,919
Speaker 12: it's very nice.

1141
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, hard to argue with the authenticity of that. Yeah,

1142
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: game warning, all mashed up and stuff, and yeah, that'll

1143
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: do it. Have you ever had I always wonder if

1144
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 2: people when they get an autograph, like let's just say,

1145
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: you know, you got a Josh Allen autograph, you know

1146
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: on something that you have and you know you're never

1147
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 2: getting rid of it, and then you know, twenty years

1148
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: later he's in the Hall of Fame. Do you try

1149
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 2: to track him down to just stick h o F

1150
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 2: and his induction year on there.

1151
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 9: Maybe?

1152
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, it's up I think it's

1153
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 3: up to you know, the guy. Maybe you'd have to

1154
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: ask somebody who's an expert in the in the field.

1155
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't even know if that adds value or not.

1156
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 3: The h o F probably makes it more authentic in

1157
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 3: some respect. But to get it before they were in

1158
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame, I think it's almost better, isn't it.

1159
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah, maybe it is. I don't know it all you.

1160
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Got to have it, you know, Uh, what do you

1161
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 3: call it certified? One of the things one of the

1162
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 3: things nice about the bills that they do is when

1163
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: they give stuff out, they give.

1164
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 2: The certifificate author.

1165
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 3: You're out with it with all the all the stuff

1166
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 3: that we've got out here and the this which is

1167
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 3: why we got on the subject. For those of you

1168
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 3: who just joined us, Today's the day they're all signing

1169
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 3: all this stuff. So they got hundreds of things out

1170
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 3: and signed by dozens of guys, and so they give

1171
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 3: a certificate with all that stuff because it is the guy.

1172
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 3: I mean, we're sitting here watching these guys sign all

1173
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 3: the stuff.

1174
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to Glenn and Newfane next. What's up Glenn.

1175
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Appreciate it. I got

1176
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 6: hooked on autographs actually back in the late sixties when

1177
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 6: my grandmother died in kenmoren We were going through some

1178
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 6: old eighteen hundred's books in the attic. It was like

1179
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 6: ninety degrees up there, really hot, and I went through

1180
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 6: a book that the author had spent a year with

1181
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 6: the Lincolns, and inside there in the middle, it was

1182
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 6: a little envelope that said Lincoln Autograph. Inside there's a

1183
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 6: little card with Lincoln inviting mister Risley, who was possibly

1184
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 6: the union quartermaster. I kind of researched a little bit

1185
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 6: inviting him to the White House to meet this honorable

1186
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 6: GC Smith, whoever the heck that is. That's kind of

1187
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 6: what got me hooked on the autograph thing. To the

1188
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 6: fast forward to the mid eighties and I'm like heavily

1189
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 6: into the Bills at that point, working for a small

1190
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 6: radio station and begging the sports director please can I

1191
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 6: cover a couple of Bills games this Year's the only

1192
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 6: reason I worked there minimum wage. They would send me

1193
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 6: to two games a year. You wouldn't pay me. They

1194
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 6: pay me like mileage and parking. And unfortunately this is

1195
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 6: a real no no. But a kid in his twenties,

1196
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 6: a major Bills fan like me, Yeah, I got some

1197
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 6: autographs to the point where it was like probably one

1198
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty got bitched out by Scott Birch told

1199
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 6: Johnny Lynch are you here with the media or are

1200
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 6: you here as a scene And I didn't have the

1201
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 6: heart to tell him I'm here for free as a fan.

1202
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 6: Among my favorite autographs when I sent to Whitney Houston

1203
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 6: Curve Arista Records, New York, New York, and just prior

1204
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 6: to a European tour, I get that one in the

1205
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 6: mail with her singing the national anthem. I'm getting kind

1206
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 6: of emotional thinking about her singing the national anthem. At

1207
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 6: Super Bowl twenty five, Steve signed a front page of

1208
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if it was a game day with

1209
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 6: him doing the fl in the end zone sign that

1210
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 6: For me, that's one of my all time favorites. But

1211
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 6: a real strange one was Guiton. What I got into

1212
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 6: like just mailing them. I spent one year in the

1213
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 6: eighties twenty five hundred dollars on stamps envelopes, and like

1214
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 6: a previous caller, set about sending him to the bills,

1215
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 6: you know, with a self address stamped envelope. I would

1216
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 6: put in there like extra cards to have them keep it,

1217
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 6: and a little post it here's your rookie card or

1218
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 6: here's your Pro Bowl card. Please keep the extras and

1219
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 6: can you sign one and send it the envelope. So

1220
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 6: I got I think the guy's name was Guiton. It

1221
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 6: was with the Giants that and I get it, and

1222
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 6: it's got a registered letter from the Postal Service with it.

1223
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 6: The card is burned in half, and apparently he had

1224
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 6: mailed it in a Florida a mailbox on a street

1225
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 6: corner and then the mailbox for some reason, some of

1226
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 6: he started the box on fire. Oh boy, you know,

1227
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 6: it was like an arson. So I get discard just

1228
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 6: unbelievably funny thing there. But I want one last thing.

1229
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 6: I just want to say. I know Josh Allen only

1230
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 6: likes signing the kids autographs at training camp, but I

1231
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 6: can't explain to him, if he's listening, how important it

1232
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 6: is for the kid in all of us when you're signing,

1233
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 6: not just the little kids. I'm sixty eight and I

1234
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 6: still have a kid inside me when it comes to

1235
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 6: the Buffalo bills.

1236
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: All right, well thanks Glenn. I think I'm most impressed

1237
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 2: with the Abraham Lincoln autograph.

1238
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 3: That's awesome, right, my gosh.

1239
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 2: Like that's got to be worth a lot. It's gotta

1240
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 2: be worth seven figures, like even if it's just a

1241
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: scrap of paper.

1242
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, particularly it's a card he did he

1243
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 3: his handwriting.

1244
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Library of Congress would want that.

1245
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 3: I would think you could soft take that to softby, say.

1246
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 2: One of my Yeah, that would work that for sure. Yeah,

1247
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: that pay off the old mortgage. Let's go to Greg

1248
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 2: and Amherst next. What's up Greg?

1249
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 13: How you doing good? I have a signed autograph from

1250
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 13: Jim Kelly's eighty six season when he started. And on

1251
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 13: the it's a clock. It's sixteen by twenty and on

1252
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 13: the clock is one of the players, Ricky Moore, who

1253
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 13: was drafted in the eighty five draft and played with

1254
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 13: Jim Kelly in eighty six. And it was really hard

1255
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 13: to see his number, but I finally made out the number,

1256
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 13: so he must have played on the offense. I assume, okay,

1257
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 13: But we can't find it anywhere. We can't find the

1258
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 13: picture anywhere. We've looked for it and looked for it.

1259
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 13: And like I said, I don't know if pastor remembers

1260
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 13: the eighty six year, but if he does, I don't

1261
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 13: understands under Ricky Moore.

1262
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 3: What's that?

1263
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 2: What's the question you're asked about Ricky Moore?

1264
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 13: Like he well, Jim Ricky Moore was number forty two.

1265
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 13: Ricky Moore was that.

1266
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 3: No, I do not know that name. And Jim was

1267
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 3: picked thirteenth in the draft or twelfth in the draft,

1268
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 3: thirteenth in the draft, and he got the Bills had

1269
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 3: also the eleventh pick or the pick right before that,

1270
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 3: all right, And I thought that's what you were referring to.

1271
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 3: But if you're trying to.

1272
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,799
Speaker 13: I was just referring die. I can't find the picture anymore.

1273
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 2: Oh you lost it?

1274
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 9: Oh no, No, I had the.

1275
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 13: Clock, oh ky lock signed by Jim Kelly. I picked

1276
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 13: it up that my son gave it to me as

1277
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 13: a gift thirty years ago.

1278
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 3: So you need to find out who number forty two

1279
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 3: was on the Bills in nineteen eighty.

1280
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 13: Six, right right, Oh okay.

1281
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 2: It's a mystery. All right. Well we'll try to all

1282
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: right track that down for you. I did. I did

1283
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 2: pull up Ricky Moore. So he was a running back

1284
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 2: five eleven two thirty four, probably a fullback, played three seasons,

1285
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 2: won for the Bills in eighty six, then Houston in

1286
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 2: eighty seven, strike year player, and then in eighty eight

1287
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: with the relocated Phoenix Cardinals, played eight games for them,

1288
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 2: and then that was it. So went to college at Alabama,

1289
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 2: Ricky Moore, how about that?

1290
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 3: There you go.

1291
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 2: They had a clock made of that. They had to

1292
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 2: have been a Bills clock, That's what it had to be. Yeah,

1293
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 2: So it is what it is. I'm telling you. They

1294
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 2: get out there.

1295
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 3: They had his best year in eighty six, had eleven

1296
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 3: games with the Bills started eight games, yeah, thirty three

1297
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 3: carries for one hundred and four yards.

1298
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 2: He was a third round draft pick of the Niners

1299
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 2: in the eighty five draft, and then he latched on

1300
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 2: with the Bills in eighty six.

1301
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 3: I was drafted before I was.

1302
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 2: Steve in Lockport is next. What's up? Steve?

1303
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up?

1304
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 14: Guys? Thanks for taking my call. Sure, fun, fun thing

1305
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 14: to talk about today. So back when I was a

1306
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 14: young man, I'm not sure the season, but we went

1307
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 14: up to training camp. But it was the training camp

1308
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 14: after the year that Bruce Smith got injured in the playoffs.

1309
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 14: I think he hurt his leg. And the reason I

1310
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 14: know it was that because we walked up first and

1311
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 14: we just walked by this door and it was open,

1312
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 14: and he's sitting there bench pressing, and then he's like,

1313
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 14: you guys got to get out of here because we

1314
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 14: weren't supposed to be in there. But he wasn't practicing

1315
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 14: with the other players. But anyway, so I went up

1316
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 14: to Howard Baillard and I asked him for his autograph,

1317
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 14: and I'm like a young nine or ten year old man.

1318
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 14: He says sure, and he and he hands me. First

1319
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 14: thing he does hands me his cleats, which are huge,

1320
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 14: like I've never seen anything this big, of course in

1321
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 14: my life. And I hand him the paper in the

1322
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 14: pen and at the time, back then, he used to

1323
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 14: have gatorade and aluminum cans and his hand was so

1324
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 14: big he wrapped his hand around the can to hold

1325
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 14: the marker to do the signature. And it just always

1326
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 14: stuck with me because of course I was smaller than

1327
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 14: but you just don't most of us, the gum chewing public,

1328
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 14: don't appreciate how big some these athletes are. But but

1329
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 14: he was really cool and uh, I still got a

1330
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 14: signature to.

1331
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 2: This day, So all right cool Like the house ballad story,

1332
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 2: Steve House was House was House was the house he was.

1333
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 3: He was a great, great player, had a long and

1334
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 3: very good career, great teammate, great individual, just sweetheart of

1335
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 3: a guy, very quiet.

1336
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I remember being a soft.

1337
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 3: Squad and he's right. I mean, he's one of the

1338
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 3: bigger human beings you'll ever come.

1339
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 2: Probably like what a sixteen sized shoe or something.

1340
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was, he was sixteen. That is so great. Yeah,

1341
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 3: Howard was a great person.

1346
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 15: But one picture that I did get signed by Jim

1347
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 15: was when Jim got inducted in the Hall of Fame

1348
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 15: and we went to Canton and they had a special

1349
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 15: tent with all Jim Kelly's you know, things to be sold,

1350
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 15: and his dad was standing there and I went up

01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 15: a picture of us and these guys arm on my shoulders.

1355
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 15: So we went to Jim Kelly's signing and now kind

1356
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,479

1359
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 15: I said, I'm your number one fan, Jim, And I said,

1361
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 15: you know it the induction and it really touched his heart.

1362
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 15: And there is one other picture that at the canvas

1363
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:52,519

1378
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 15: to the Shakira signing a few weeks ago, David Adams,

1379

Speaker 10: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.

1401
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 3: Yes I was.

1402
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 10: I was thinking I had a really cool piece until

1403
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 10: I listened to everyone else's calls and I was like, oh.

1404
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:00,719
Speaker 7: So much.

1405
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 10: But I do have an interesting piece, so I have

1406
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 10: obviously for the Bills memorabilia, I have a blue full

1407
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 10: size helmet signed by Josh Allen and Jim Kelly, and

1408
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 10: that's one of my favorite pieces. I bought it five

1409
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 10: years ago before Josh really kind of exploded into the league,

1410
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 10: maybe six years ago. I don't know, time going by fast,

1411
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 10: but very very proud of that piece. But one of

1412
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,799
Speaker 10: the pieces I have that is very unique and special

1413
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 10: to me. One of my favorite movies growing up was

1414
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 10: the movie Rudy, which I'm sure you guys have seen

1415
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 10: with Rudy Rudiger. When I was able to obtain a

1416
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 10: Rudy jersey and a Notre Dame football signed by Rudy Rudiger,

1417
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 10: the actual guy who is portrayed in that movie, and

1418
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 10: I set a goal. I said, you know what, I'd

1419
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 10: really love to meet the actor who played him as well,

1420
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 10: Sean Aston, and see if I can get him to

1421
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 10: sign both these items. And my brother told me, Hey,

1422
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 10: they're doing a comic con down in Atlanta and he's

1423
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 10: going to be one of the main characters at this event.

1424
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 10: So we flew down to Atlanta and waited in line

1425
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 10: for hours and I met Sean Aston and you know,

1426
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 10: thousands of people ahead of me, thousands of people behind me.

1427
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 10: I had him sign both items. I told him I

1428
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 10: came from Buffalo to meet him to get him to

1429
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 10: sign the jersey and he was very, very appreciative, like

1430
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 10: way more than I expected, and he signed both items.

1431
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 10: And then the next day there was a photo op

1432
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 10: where I went upstairs and I got.

1433
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 4: A photo with him.

1434
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 10: And as I walked in, I'm not expecting him to remember.

1435
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 10: And I walk in and he goes, Steve right from Buffalo,

1436
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 10: and he goes, you came down to see me, you know,

1437
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 10: for the Rooty jerseys, And I was like, oh, my goodness,

1438
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 10: this guy remembers me. But be able to get the

1439
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 10: jersey signed by both the actor and the person he

1440
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 10: was portraying is very, very unique and special. The two

1441
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 10: items I along with all the bills stuff that I have,

1442
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 10: and I used to be a major collector until I

1443
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 10: had two kids, and now my financial priorities have changed

1444
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,839
Speaker 10: significantly understood, but I still still have plenty of items

1445
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 10: and it's a lot of fun to have.

1446
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 2: I got to ask you a question about that, Steve, Like,

1447
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 2: when you have an actor portraying somebody, how were most

1448
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 2: people asking him to sign? Were they asking him to

1449
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 2: sign his name or the name of the character he

1450
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 2: portrayed her both?

1451
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 10: Well, considering it was a comic Con event, most people

1452
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 10: were going down there to see him because of the

1453
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 10: Lord of the Rings. Oh right, right, you know, I

1454
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 10: was one of the few that went to meet him

1455
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 10: for the movie Rudy. So he signed it his name,

1456
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 10: but then underneath he wrote Rudy okay, and then the

1457
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 10: Rudy Rudiger signature was just Rudy Rudiger. Wasn't anything like

1458
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 10: specific on there, but yeah, that's that's pretty much it.

1459
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 10: But like that was the I was one of the

1460
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 10: only ones who was there to see him because of

1461
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 10: the movie Rudy. And I was also the only person

1462
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 10: wearing Bill's memorabilia at a comic con event, which was

1463
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 10: you stood out.

1464
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 2: That was good. That was a smart place. Steve stood

1465
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 2: out there in his Bill's jersey. Everybody else is there

1466
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 2: for the Lord of the Rings and he's like, Hi,

1467
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 2: I remember you and Rudy. He's like, oh, thank god,

1468
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 2: somebody somebody different than all the He's Lord of the

1469
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Rings fans. It was probably a welcome change up there.

1470
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 2: Let's go to James in Rochester. We got for his James.

1471
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 16: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I have my

1472
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 16: ticket stub from the Houston Comeack game, autographed by mister

1473
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 16: Steve Cask, mister Don Bebe and mister Frank Bright, and

1474
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 16: yes I did stay for the whole game, and I

1475
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 16: was in the end zone under the old score I

1476
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 16: was in the end zone under the old scoreboard, and

1477
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 16: I remember Houston went up like twenty eight to three

1478
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 16: right before halftime, and you could hear a pin drop

1479
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 16: in that stadium, and then people did some day I

1480
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 16: had season ticket holder friends had even come back for

1481
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 16: the second half. So as I remember is being under

1482
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 16: that scoreboard at halftime and going, well, Houston's always a

1483
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 16: team that shoots itself in the foot. And then they

1484
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 16: came out made that interception, and they went and had

1485
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 16: thirty five to three, and then they shot themselves in

1486
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,679
Speaker 16: the foot with a stupid onside kick, which you recovered

1487
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 16: and the rest was history. So thanks for signing that, Steve.

1488
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 16: I used to make appearances here at Rock a Stir

1489
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 16: at the old German House. I think I got you

1490
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 16: with Dom d at that one. And then Frank rereiight,

1491
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 16: I used to work at an old independent station in

1492
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 16: Rock TV station, the original channel thirty one, and Frank

1493
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 16: Reich actually had a TV show that I worked on

1494
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 16: as a production crew, and I think that's where I

1495
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 16: got Frank. One of these days I'll hook up with

1496
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 16: Andre Reid to get that on there. But yeah, that's

1497
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 16: my price possession and Brownie, you appreciate this. I do

1498
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 16: have a Don Mattingly autograph. I'm not a Yankee fan.

1499
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 16: But there's Ken Kyser, who was an old umpire that

1500
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 16: lived in Rochester. I think he's passed on. He used

1501
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 16: to have sports stinners. So my father and I went

1502
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 16: one year and we got Madding Lee and George Brett

1503
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 16: and Don Baylor. So I do have that too. Well, yeah,

1504
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 16: so that's that's my But that's my plus a few

1505
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 16: rock stars, mostly all my brothers because I was a

1506
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,839
Speaker 16: huge all my brother's fan. But anyway, that ticket stub

1507
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,879
Speaker 16: is my prize possession. Oh yeah, quite the entertaining game.

1508
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 2: All right, thanks James. Yeah, you notice right away he

1509
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 2: said I stayed till the end.

1510
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the thing I mean.

1511
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 2: Because I mean, for people that don't know, a lot

1512
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 2: of people took off at halftime and then they were

1513
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:07,759
Speaker 2: trying to climb the fence to get back in. Actually

1514
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 2: they had to contact Bill Pollion.

1515
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 3: Well, the story goes they talked to Ralph and Ralph goes,

1516
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 3: now open it up midway through the third because you

1517
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, as we all know, even to this day football,

1518
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:20,560
Speaker 3: you can't re enter. Yeah, it used to be. You

1519
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 3: know how the high school basketball can say stamp your hands,

1520
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 3: so if you pay once, you can just show them

1521
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 3: the stamp and go out.

1522
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,440
Speaker 2: But it even said on the paper tickets not eligible

1523
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 2: for reason, right.

1524
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 3: So Ralph just said, just open the gates. So I

1525
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 3: let everybody in. And there's there's stories. Obviously we've all

1526
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 3: heard them, people being one hundred miles down the road

1527
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 3: and turning around and coming back just trying to catch

1528
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 3: the end of the game because of what was happening

1529
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:44,839
Speaker 3: on the radio.

1530
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,120

01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 7: I have all the first round draft picks at a

1541
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bill. Okay, yeah, I got movie stars that are

1542
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 7: on autographs along with the actor.

1543
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 2: Like all right, so let me ask you this, Tony.

1544
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 2: So in the two thousand and nine draft, the Bills

1545
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 2: draft Aaron Mabon and Eric Wood, do you have him

1546
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,799
Speaker 2: both on one helmet or do you have him separate?

1547
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 7: I have him under college helmet, each separately.

1548
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 2: Separately, Okay, all right, Yeah, you are dedicated. That sounds

1549
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 2: like a second job, my jot.

1550
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 3: I gotta say it. You're an absolute goner.

1551
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 7: I mean, oh man, I have so many many helmets

1552
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 7: that I have to take the jerseys and I had

1553
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 7: to put them up on the ceiling in cases, and

1554
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 7: I have about twenty five jerseys.

1555
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 3: That's okay, all right, Tony, Thanks very much to Jim.

1556
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,759
Speaker 3: And people probably guess this too, Jim who has always

1557
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 3: been just as he's as grounded as a mud puddle,

1558
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 3: I mean Jim, and he never forgets anybody. Jim's is

1559
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 3: that kind of that's part of his thing. It's part

1560
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 3: of what makes Jim Kelly so special. And he was

1561
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 3: always a huge pro football fan obviously.

1562
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 2: Right yeah, even Terry Bradshaw was this guy.

1563
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 3: Right, So when I got here, in eighty six, they'd

1564
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 3: already been through like eight or ten games without me.

1565
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 3: I got here midway through Jim's first year here in Buffalo,

1566
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 3: and at that time, after every single game, Jim would

1567
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 3: go up to the superstar on the other team, whoever

1568
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 3: was the quarterback, like in Chicago's Mike Singletary, other players

1569
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 3: like gas to know for the Jets, all of those guys,

1610
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 17: got a little bit of a personal story. But nineteen

1611
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 17: ninety two, twelve year old kid, my stepdad Rag got

1612
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 17: all of his money that he left and invited me

1613
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 17: to the Diplomat party house in Rochester, and the young

1614
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 17: stronic kid had nothing for carl Ton Bailey. I think,

1615
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 17: stem you are there a couple of bills players. So

1616
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 17: I grabbed a blue napkin and Carlton Bailey sign that

1617
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 17: and I have that framed in my man cave and

1618
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 17: I use it as a lesson for my kids every

1619
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 17: day to say, if you work hard, you can have

1620
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 17: a man cave like this. You might get your first autograph,

1621
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 17: not a napkin, but if you keep working hard, you

1622
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 17: can get more autographs. And I use that as a

1623
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 17: life lesson for my kid. My second one is, this

1624
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 17: is pretty an interesting question for you guys, is why

1625
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 17: is it so hard? And my holy grail is a

1626
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 17: Frank Reich autograph Bills Jersey. There's not so many of

1632
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 2: you got it, and you have to use a marker.

1633
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:47,400

1640
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 18: have one thing in common. They have that little twinkle

1641
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 18: of that ten year old kid that gets that autograph

1642
