1
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tesker who has been all over the fields,

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: in the stratoere of normalcy. Ah, We're one day away

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty two NFL schedule. Steve and I

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: are talking about this before we come on the air.

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: You realize we have been talking all week about the

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: regular season schedule. What the heck are we doing? What

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: are we on? Where are our priorities in life right

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: where they should be for let me just say it, Yeah,

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: for us, probably we're sick in the head. And we'll

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: be talking more about the schedule today as we'll get

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: into in just a bit. Um. Before we get into

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 1: I told you today's today. Today is the day. Yea.

15
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: After after much walking around checking it out and making

16
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: sure it was okay, I'm gonna get to actually mow

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: my lawn today. Yes you uh water, I would venture

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: to guess water managements any in the eight counties of

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Western New York. You might be the last person in

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the eight counties to mow their lawn for the first

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: time this season. It technically can still you really push

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: the envelope. Yeah, I did. I would admit, but I

23
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: had no choice. I was too wet. I it can

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: only technically now today still be called a lawn. Tomorrow

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: it turns into a hay field because I'm pretty sure

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: some of it's going to seed too much and I

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta hag it off. I'm gonna have to

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: mow it. I've cut mine twice. I gotta cut mine twice,

29
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I think before it's actually gonna be able to do.

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I've made two cuts already. This I'm

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna set my lawnmower like three and a half inches

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: today and then maybe mow it again before the weekend. Again.

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: They tell you don't cut it too short. Well, yeah,

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: I get that ruined your root growth. Yeah. Plus you

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: know what happens too. So they said, if you mode higher,

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: if you can stand a mode higher, it cuts the shade,

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: and the little weeds that come out kind of keep

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: growing the shade. It doesn't prove it, Yeah, don't promote

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: weed growth if yes, Yeah, so that is that is legit.

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: But I gotta do it today and it's yeah, Mike,

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: it has been an absolute mud hole. I can't even

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't even you know, usually kind of get that

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: at the end. It's that season. It's that season where

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: it's wiped the dog's feet when it comes into mode.

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: You know. So Verne has been really so the last

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: couple of days of sun heaven. Oh it's yeah, I

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: couldn't done I could have done it maybe, but has

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: been dry for the last day, four or five days,

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: even because I gotta I gotta lawn the size of him. Yeah,

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and you weren't in town last Yeah, um, I there

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: are still there's still gonna be a couple of spots.

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to avoid. I'm gonna have

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to leave. But now do you walk over there and

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: hit the hit it with a weed whacker? What do

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: you do? Or you just leave it for when it's dry?

56
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: If I have to walk I'm I mean, I know,

57
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: I know. It is the tasker compound. It is me.

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: It is an expanse of rolling terrain. That so it

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: might be a far wall. I do weed whack, but

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: I weed whack twice for for the entire summer, and

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: that's only twice. That's it. Yeah, Yeah, I don't weed

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: whack very often. And that and listen if I if

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: I go out there and I have a brand new

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: weed whacker, if I go out there and that thing

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: won't start, I'm gonna get another new weed whacker. Yeah,

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: so I'm patient. I'm the type of person that likes

67
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: to maintain my stuff as best as I can. Like,

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, if the recommendations in the manual say, you know,

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: change the fuel filter on your lawn track, you're after

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: every sea, I do it. If it says, oh yeah, swat,

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, I preventative maintenance, I'm big on that. February

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: or March, I got I'm on the phone and I

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: have a company comes out and looks at the thing

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: and does it. Oh wow. And they show up at

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: the house and I pull it out and I park

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: it out out there where they can find it. They

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: go in, they bepity boopy. I even bring my lawn

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: track through battery in the house in the winter so

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: it's not sitting out there in the cold. You're a goner.

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: So at last, you are an absolute goner. Nah, come on.

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call myself meticulous, but I do try to

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: keep tracking those, yeah, because otherwise I go out there

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: in April try to fire it up, I got nothing,

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: So I don't do that. So here's the best part.

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't do that. So my battery was officially done.

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: It was like five six years old. I get it

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: um and that's usually the life of a lawnmower battery.

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: And so I said, all right, I'm gonna have to

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: get a new one, you know, for the season. I

90
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: go out and get a new battery, and you know,

91
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm all ready to roll. I come back from vacation

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: when I was out in April, gonna cut my lawn

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: as I'm we're all ready to go. I bought the

94
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: battery before I went on vacation, so I wouldn't have

95
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, brand new battery. It doesn't

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: have a charge. So I jump it with my car,

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: cut my grass. I'm like, all right, you know, it

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: takes me like forty five minutes to cut front and back.

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: That'll be enough of a charge. So next week it's

100
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: a brand new battery. It'll hold the charge. It'll be

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: good to go next week and I don't have to

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: worry about it the rest of the season. Go out

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: there the next week. See, I had to bring it

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: back and the guy, did you know, he did the

105
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: diagnostic thing with the and he goes, oh, yeah, this

106
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: is a low charge for a new battery. This isn't good.

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: I said, okay, can you give me a new one? Right?

108
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: And he gave me a new one, you know, but here,

109
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: and I'm fine now. But it's just like you do

110
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: all that preventative maintenance and you get handed that decade

111
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: but for something from you. Sometimes I think, like I

112
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: got a writing long one. I've two writing a long wars.

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: One is who well, one is the one I use,

114
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: and the other one is one that's before I got

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: the new one. Oh, it's your backup, and you have

116
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: a backup much shit space do you have? Oh? Yeah,

117
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: like I got an Yeah, I got enough for that.

118
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get rid of the old one though

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: it needs to go, and I can't find a way

120
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. I'm talking to the company

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: that I said, hey, well you trade me something like

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: give me a credit for this more you can use

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: it for. I think it's older than all of my kids.

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, right, so it's really you're telling me I'm

125
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: a garner. Well, yes, you're holding onto but I didn't.

126
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: But I used it worked. I mean it's like that

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: thing's from the nineties. It's a John Nope, it's from

128
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: the eighties. Oh, it's a John Deer. And the thing

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: never can't call to stop running. So I finally got

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: and now it is kind of it is kind of

131
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: on its last leg. But I'm telling me, if you

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: can use it for scrap or whatever, you can take it.

133
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Give me whatever credit you can. And I'm still waiting

134
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: to hear from them. Maybe they want it, but you know,

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I can't get that thing to start, so it's you know, yeah,

136
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: here's the other thing that I view your pain for that.

137
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: So I've had my lawn tractor since oh six, and

138
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: it still runs well since you were six, No, since

139
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, oh six, talk about me, all right,

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: since two thousand. Yeah, But all of my other stuff,

141
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: which when I bought it around the same time, it's

142
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: all gas powered, and as well as I've taken care

143
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: of a lot of those things. In the last two years,

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: they've started to go on. Me lost my gas powered

145
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: weed whacker last year, replaced it with an electric battery

146
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: power and then this year my leaf blower, which I use,

147
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, after I edged the edge of the lawn.

148
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: You know you got the little grass clippings there. I

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: bring out my blower and I just blow it onto

150
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: the lawn, right, yeah, I got you. Um that went

151
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: on me this year, got another, got another battery powered one.

152
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: So I am like, so, here's the best part. You're

153
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. You're gas till you die. I

154
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: may do it, but if I'm doing all electric, it's

155
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna be plugged in. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: with the power these things kick. I got a forty

157
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: vote battery. I walked out there and it's like, oh,

158
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I forgot to put the battery on the charger. Now

159
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: I gotta wait a day. I have two forty vote battery,

160
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: can't you. So I take the good one, pop it on,

161
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: and then I charge the other one while I'm doing

162
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: my stuff. And then by the time I get back

163
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: that one's charged, I pop that off, leave it for

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: next week, put the put the used one on there.

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 1: You just repeat the cycle that I'm telling you. The

166
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: battery power devices, they've been a godsend for me. Here's

167
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: why I don't smell like gasoline when I'm done that.

168
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: I get that. I mean usually your shower after you

169
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: do dwork anyway. But I'm an old guy. It's the

170
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: same old thing. It's the power that they have when

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: you turn it on fully. Then it's it's making sure

172
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: you got a charge battery. When you get out there

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: and I get it. You get an op you know,

174
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: spare one. But then you just put this one on

175
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the charger. Then what you leave it for six weeks

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: and you come back and he'll do it and it's

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: ruined because you've left it on the charger. Well yeah,

178
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: well that see, you're not responsible enough to take it off. No,

179
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: not even close. And how the heck is that any different?

180
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Because if enough to have gas, if I got to

181
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: go off the tank, at least if I go, I

182
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: can put the run five seconds away, fill it with gas,

183
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: come back and I got gas. You put it in it.

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: I gotta wait overnight or five hours for the thing

185
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: to charge that long, and and then I'm twenty thirty

186
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: minutes tops if it's completely dead, complete twenty thirty minutes

187
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: for a batter. You have the spare battery, you put

188
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: that one on, who's the one that's good? Off you go,

189
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't buy it, and you smell a lot nicer

190
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: when you're done. Yeah, see that's the thing I want.

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: You're ready when I'm ready, I want that thing ready,

192
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: and I want it fully charged and ready to go.

193
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: And then when you're ready to go back like seriously,

194
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set an alarm to go back out and

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: take a thing off. And then when I take it

196
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: off the charger, then it's another six weeks before I

197
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: use the thing again again. Why is it six weeks? No,

198
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: it'll hold a charge in the summertime, especially, Come on,

199
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta convert you. I don't believe it,

200
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: you can. I know that. I know that the battery

201
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: they've really gotten a lot better. Yeah, I get all that.

202
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: And the power is is the most impressive thing I've got.

203
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: I got a battery powered chainsaw. Now I'm not cutting

204
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: down giant trees. I'm doing light, you know, branch work.

205
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: So with a battery powered chainsaw, I'm okay, because I

206
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: don't have a yard with you know, one hundred fifty

207
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: year old I got. I got a tree that just

208
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: went and I could you couldn't get your arms two

209
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: thirds of the way around it, and it snapped off

210
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: with the wind right, So I had to go out

211
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: there and start chipping away on that. And I need

212
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I needed some beef, so I got one of those.

213
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: I've got a gas powered chainsaw, which if you're doing

214
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: heavy work, I get it. But I mean, I'm I'm

215
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: not I'm not chopping down anything that's more than everything's

216
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna be electric everything. You may as well start getting ready. Yeah,

217
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: kicking the moment one of your lawn tools power lawn

218
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,120

00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Um,

221
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: best of luck today with your knee deep lawn. Yeah,

00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: is it knee deep or just ankled shin deep? No,

00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: it's it's above your ankles. It's not show. I don't

00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: know shin deep in some spots. You've got some. You know,

225
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: I've got some. You're gonna straight straight stuff that's like

226
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: shin high. You're gonna cut that. Not knee high yet,

227
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: but it's way above shin high. I think you're right.

228
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to cut that twice. Yeah, I'm gonna so. Yeah,

229
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on that program. But it's it is. Yeah,

230
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, we will be discussing NFL twenty twenty

231
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: two schedule with you and we'll get into the Twitter

232
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: conversation in just a second. But the Tom Brady stuff,

233
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: Steve continues to morph and change. People can't get enough

234
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: of it. I almost threw up this morning. I was

235
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: listening to the radio on my way into work or no,

236
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: this was when I first got up, and it was

237
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: the overnight radio show, the national show that w g

238
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: R runs. And the guy loves the appointment of Tom

239
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: Brady as the number one broadcast team guy for Fox

240
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Sports going forward for football. Now he's obviously still playing,

241
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: but already people are debating, well, if the Bucks are

242
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, will he do the Super Bowl?

243
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Because Fox has a Super Bowl this year. He'll be

244
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. Yeah, he won't write, he won't be

245
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: in the booth. If you're willing to pay the guy

246
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half a year, he won't be

247
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: in the booth, but he'll be the first. He'll be

248
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: in the pre game run up. He'll be in the

249
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: program the pre game. You know how there's like nine

250
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: hours of pre game stuff. He'll be it. And there's

251
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: absolutely no doubt, absolutely no doubt. Now he won't be

252
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: in the booth because they're gonna have no because they'll

253
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: have to make that call. They'll want to make that

254
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: call a couple of weeks. But if they do some

255
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: training runs with him and he's a natural, I think

256
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: they drop him in the seat instead of it's Tom

257
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: freaking Brady. As much as I hate to say, who's

258
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: the other guy instead of well, they already said he's

259
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: like the number one guy, So now Tom, it's it's

260
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: the Greg Olds in the tight end? Or is it?

261
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: It was not gonna be uh Tory Aikman. No, he's

262
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: working for ESPN. Now he jumped ship with Joe Buck

263
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: and Tom. Who's the other guy's Yeah, so it's Kevin

264
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: Burkhard's the number one played by play a guy for

265
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: Fox Sports? And is Greg Olson super Bowl? If he

266
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: shows well in training? Is it Greg Olson or is

267
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: it Tom Brady Steve It's Tom? Yes, yes, Greg Olson.

268
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: He's not even that good on their pregame show. In

269
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: my opinion, I like the guy. He's good dude, but

270
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: he's Greg Olson. I'm I'm just saying, if you're weighing

271
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen and Tom Brady on just about any scale.

272
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: It's grossly tipped. Kevin Burkhard too, I mean in favor

273
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: of Brady. Kevin Burkhard. That may be like that may

274
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: be like Brad Johnson winning a Super Bowl. The only positive,

275
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: it's like, the only positive with this whole thing, Steve,

276
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: is it may get him off the field a little

277
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: bit faster, Like this may actually be his last year playing.

278
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, until some crazy team

279
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: tries to pull out. If take that as a as

280
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: a guy, he's the only guy ever to come out

281
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: the playing field, do a Super Bowl and then go

282
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: back and playing in the Super Bowl. Jason Witton did

283
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: a year of broadcasting, came back and played. He didn't

284
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl, but you know what I mean,

285
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: he did that. He might say I'm gonna retire, oh

286
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: and do it like this year. You know what, the

287
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: thing was good, I'm gonna go back and play one

288
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: more year. It could do it. Yeah, speaking of quarterbacks

289
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: playing in the state of Florida, did you see the

290
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: two a highlight real Steve from last night on Twitter?

291
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Dolphins put out a tweet from

292
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: their offseason conditioning program. Usually they've got a tight shot

293
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: of Tua rearing back in a bucket hat no less

294
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: and chucking it deep to who else but Tyreek Hill,

295
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: who's got dreads. By the way, the only problem is

296
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek had to come back to the football. Now. Look,

297
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to tell you if you wanted

298
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: to give me one receiver who probably could outrun his arm,

299
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: can out run a quarterback's arm, or can't be overthrown,

300
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people would say Tyreek Hill, Steve. I'm

301
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: telling you right now, if you showed the back half

302
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: of that play and only saw Tyreek catching the ball,

303
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: you might be convinced it was a punt return if

304
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: he didn't run the opposite direction. Come on, watch him

305
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: catching his ball and you tell me he's not coming

306
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: back to this thing. He is waiting on it. He

307
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: had to stop and then yeah he was, and his

308
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: enthusiasm is certainly not through the roof. After catching it,

309
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: He's probably thinking to himself, and did I make the

310
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: right call here thirty million instead of playing with Patrick Mahomes. Well,

311
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: what's running through his head right here? I'm gonna have

312
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: to do a lot of running after the catch here.

313
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to really shift gears as soon as

314
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I catch this. Usually on these things I watch and

315
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: it's like okay, and then I but this is against air.

316
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: There's no defense immediately upon and and here's the thing

317
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: to a little play action one hitch boom lets it

318
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: fly and he can't get it there. Nope, against air.

319
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: I know. This is him stepping into this with every

320
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: fiber of his being and he can't get it there. Didn't. Yeah,

321
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: it's not a good look. It's it's it's not it's

322
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: not like the smooth like wow fast motion like where

323
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: they like the guy runs out of the screen and

324
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: it happens so fast and it's such a long that

325
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: this is like he throws it and then they then

326
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: they got to snap at the slow motion. This thing's

327
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: fluttering to any right, It's like it looks like a

328
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: punt that way. I mean, who's in charge of their

329
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: social media account? Someone that doesn't know that this is

330
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: probably not a ringing endorsement of Tuah. I understand the

331
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: impetus behind the post. You're trying to get people excited

332
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: about to a throne a Tyreek, but man, this is

333
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: not the one i'd be picking the Tyreek body languages

334
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: is only He's just like, okay, here we go. All right,

335
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: let me make this look good. I'll put my finger

336
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: in the air and act like I'm pumped out already.

337
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: But it is like OTA's right. I mean, they're out there.

338
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Uh it is they can start earlier because they have

339
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: a new head coach. So yes, yeah, this was the

340
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: comments after we're pretty good crushing him? Crushing him? Yeah,

341
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: I think I think this is video evidence that Mike

342
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: McDaniel is going to be calling an awful lot of

343
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: five yards slants for Tyree. It's not quite and then

344
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: it's yeah, hey, Tyreek, it's on you to get the Yeah,

345
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like Ben Roethlisberger bad like last year,

346
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be Yeah, come on, that was a

347
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: thirty eight year old whose arm had died and had

348
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: elbow surgery on his throwing arm. Right, this is this

349
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: is a twenty five year old quarterback. It looked, who

350
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: hasn't hady? What are they doing there? I mean, what

351
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: what is the you can't have? Maybe that's the only

352
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: thing they allowed him to show, is I like show

353
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: that thinking that's the best we've got maybe not the best,

354
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: but that's the only thing. The other stuff had like

355
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: play action or whatever on and they didn't show any

356
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: because because coaches are really sensitive to that, they echnay

357
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: everything that you're gonna put out, and they get they

358
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: get a look at everything you put out and if

359
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: it's not what they if they want to, like if

360
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: if you're showing a shovel pass or something like that

361
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: like the old days, you're they don't let you show it.

362
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott does that. I mean these guys do it too. Yeah,

363
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: like you can't show this end the field of the

364
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: field while we're working on stuff, you know. The best

365
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: comment on this came from Andrew Perloff, who is one

366
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: of the control room guys for the Dan Patrick Show tweets.

367
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: Can scientists drop everything and figure out how far this

368
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: pass actually went? Basing my twenty twenty two dolphins wind

369
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: total on the result, then there's an oh, my gosh,

370
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: you're unbelievable. They had one guy that commented, here's a

371
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: schedule leak of the Dolphins and had had loss seventeen times.

372
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: Oh that was their schedule leak seventeen losses? Who oh,

373
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: this is why the internet is undefeated. Undefeated the amount

374
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: of snark I mean in the comments section for that post. Whoo,

375
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: the Dolphins social media managers probably going, I'm probably gonna

376
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: have to rethink these posts going forward with two. They're

377
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna or they're gonna come out and say it's this

378
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, we knew it was a joke or something.

379
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of joke. Here at this

380
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: time of year, you don't want to really do that

381
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: self effacing humor like well, not with your not with

382
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: that guy, not with snark like that, not with that

383
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: guy who's on the No, you want to do it

384
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. Okay, yeah, you act to back MVP, right, fine, Okay,

385
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: not with a guy that doesn't have an NFL resume yet.

386
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: He can shrug that guy like Gradon Rodgers, Tom Brady,

387
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes. You know the guys in the match,

388
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: they can shrug that all dude, I got a Lombardi

389
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: Trophy and they can shrug it all peas you know,

390
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, to me, talk to me later, right, catch

391
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: me outside. But yeah, yeah that's hard. Yeah. Uh so

392
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: that was that one. Caught my attention yesterday because he

393
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: got posted last night. There are a bunch of people

394
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter claiming, you know this, the Bills are playing

395
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: in this game, the Bills are playing in that game.

396
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time attaching any hard credence to

397
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: those claims. So I am I am satisfied in you know,

398
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: just waiting until Thursday. You know what I mean, because

399
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: the schedule, and I would say in the last three

400
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: or four years, has really taken on a life of

401
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: its own, well in terms of the Twitter verse and

402
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: social media at large, because now you got these people

403
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: coming out from under rocks saying, oh, the Bills are

404
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: playing here, Oh the Bills. I'm another primetime game. I

405
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: hear it's gonna be here. It was a leak and

406
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: so and you know that that sends Bills friends into

407
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: a frenzy who can't wait to see what this slate's

408
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna look like. And then I'm just like, oh, here

409
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: we go and look see if some of them proved

410
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: to be true. Fantastic. But it's hard for me to

411
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: attach any credibility to some of these so called leaks. No,

412
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: but there is a lot of interest in it because

413
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: we've seen and you did, and we were laughing at

414
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: today how you were like lucky, you felt lucky to

415
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: get away with writing this article. Remember when in was

416
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: it thirteen twenty fourteen, when the schedule comes out and

417
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: you're noticing something we had the Bills had six teams

418
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: who were on long rest coming into and the Bills

419
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: had to go on play or play the game six

420
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: games on short rest and the other teams were on

421
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: long rests. Six games it was, and it's competitive, and

422
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: two of them were division games. So you're, you know,

423
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: you're that article back then kind of shed light on

424
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: some of the problems you have with parody. And we've

425
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: talked about a ton. Good teams in the league are

426
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: more consistent, for sure, but bad teams in the league

427
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: can beat good teams on good days, and you know,

428
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's competitive edge that is real. So the schedule,

429
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: there's it's not for nothing that you look at who

430
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: you're playing away when you get long weeks, when's the

431
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: bye week? What are the teams coming on their bye weeks?

432
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Who do they play? And is one team kind of

433
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: showing up a lot on that list? You know, all

434
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: this stuff that really is about short weeks, long weeks

435
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: competitive edge, six road games in a row, three road

436
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: games in a row where the bye week is it's real. Yeah,

437
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: we've seen it, and so there's a lot of interest,

438
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: particularly on the football side of it. You always get

439
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: this stuff like, wow, this team really kind of put

440
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: in that. You know, every team makes requests to the

441
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: schedule makers. It used to be the Bills would say, listen,

442
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: for our fan base, we want eight one o'clock Sunday

443
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: afternoon home games. We don't want and we want them.

444
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: We want our Yeah, we want them front loaded. We'd

445
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: rather go on the road than the day because they

446
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: know they're gonna get fans in the stands when it's

447
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: not that's right, you know, ten degrees. Now it's not

448
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: so much. I mean the Bills, I mean this in

449
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: this point, this that those are drought concerns, right, dncern.

450
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: Now those concerns are a little bit alleviated. Other teams

451
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: have their own, right arizonas you know, don't put us

452
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: at one o'clock in September in the afternoon, you know

453
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. Well, Miami does that. Miami does that all,

454
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: so you gotta so the Bills Miami thing would be

455
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: a perfect example, stereotypically of Miami saying, listen, give us

456
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo on the road early in the season, and we'll

457
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: take them late. So both games are in good weather,

458
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Um, stuff like that gets

459
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: all the teams make note honored. But you can't. Yeah,

460
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: they can't. They can't acclimate all of them the teams. Yes,

461
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: stadium issues is the big one, right, like, hey, hey,

462
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: we gotta make you aware we're not eligible for a

463
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: Sunday home game on this date, this date, and this

464
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: date because if this concert, this thing, and you know

465
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: this other Tony Robbins motivational speaker series coming to the arena.

466
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's that kind of stuff. They gotta

467
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: they gotta inform the league. The Chiefs they know their

468
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: opening day, is it? What is that? Right? They know

469
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: they're anyway they couldn't do a certain thing on week

470
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: one or week two because they got a baseball game

471
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: that day and it's they share parking lots, oh the Chiefs. Yeah,

472
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: so that kind of stuff goes on, so they know

473
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like away week one or something something

474
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: like that. Right, Um, same thing with my you know,

475
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: all these other teams that used to do that. San

476
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: Diego used to share their well, the Raiders and the

477
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: A's right exactly, they were in Oakland. Now that doesn't

478
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: happen so much anymore because of you know, standalone football

479
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: only stadiums, and they've kind of elevated above that. But

480
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, those are the kind of things you're talking about.

481
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: So it's there's a lot of interest in this fan

482
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: in this schedule coming out for all these reasons. And

483
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: every fan base is a little unique, right, I mean,

484
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: they've all got their own problems. I mean, we know

485
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans make weekends out of road games, right like

486
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: they want to know, they want to know. Think about it,

487
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: like last two years, when are we going to Nashville?

488
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: Two years ago, twenty twenty, when we thought we were

489
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna have all these the Vegas Las Vegas, you had Tennessee,

490
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: you had San Francisco, you had l all of them.

491
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Not La La was home. Where was the other one?

492
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Well it was it was Yeah, it was a San

493
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Diego when they went out and played in the soccer

494
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: stadium before so far was ready. Everybody want to head

495
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: out there, so you know, if they can get a tip,

496
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, all the flights are gonna be full for

497
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: these road trips. They had all three Florida teams on

498
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the road last year, right you know, and Buffalo fans

499
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: any chance to get out of the weather and go

500
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: down there were They were in the two of them

501
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: back to back, so the people were gonna like go

502
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville games and go to the Miami or

503
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Tampa, Jacksonville Miami, Jacksonville Tampa or Tampa Miami, one

504
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: of those three. The two of them were really close

505
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: on this on consecutive weekends, so you go down and

506
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: conceivably book into week long vacation with a Bills game,

507
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: which was you know, think about it. That would have

508
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun, right, So, I don't know,

509
00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: it's the interest in this stinking schedule reveal. It's unbelievable.

510
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: There is interest. It's an eight hundred pound guerrilla ble,

511
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: and we're talking to you about it again today because

512
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: today's topic on the Twitter one Bill is Live is

513
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: what are you looking at first when the schedule is revealed?

514
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like, are you looking You're

515
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: looking right at the top. Are you immediately gravitating towards

516
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: what's the game? Times to determine how many primetime games

517
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: there are, because that's listed in the left side margin.

518
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: Are you looking at the divisions slate? Are you looking

519
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: at the marquee games first? For Chiefs, you're looking for

520
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the Bill Rams, You're looking for Bengals outside the division,

521
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: the Bills. I got a couple run off the top

522
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: of your head. You know, the Rams, the World Champions,

523
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs with Mahomes and the Green Bay Packers with

524
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers back to back MVP going against a guy

525
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: who's going to be in that conversation at the end

526
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: of the year, Josh, you're both playing. They're both both

527
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl participants from last year, Cincinnati Joe Burrow and Cincinnati.

528
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're playing Lamar Jackson, who's an informer MVP

529
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: in the same draft class as a guy that taking

530
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: snaps in Buffalo. Lamar and Josh are playing against each other.

531
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky, who was on the Buffalo Bills last year,

532
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: has a shot at being a starting quarterback against the

533
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: team he was a backup for last year and Buffalo Um.

534
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, you can go down the list. So there's

535
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff in this schedule for Bills fans,

536
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: let alone the Bills fans who notoriously travel, Yeah, you know.

537
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: And then they got Christmas games, you got Thanksgiving games.

538
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: There's six of those and Monday night, Sunday night, Thursday night.

539
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: You gotta think the Rogers game is gonna be a

540
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: standalone right, It's gonna be a standalone game. Right. It's

541
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: probably a good chance for that, I would think. I

542
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: would think the best, the most like home prime time

543
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: candidates the schedule are Chiefs, Rams, Bengals, Packers, and I'm

544
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna say Ravens right. The reason why is because you

545
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: got the two quarterbacks from the twenty eighteen class. Yeah,

546
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: has been a former infant, and they may and it's

547
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: there's always a thing here too that you can always

548
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: go to because they can always flex those games. So

549
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: they put those games late in the season, so if

550
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: it's good, they keep it, if it's bad, they flex

551
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: out of it. And it looks good. Games that look

552
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: good today in May aren't necessarily great matchups in November December,

553
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: so they can always get out of them if they want.

554
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: But they look good today eight oh three, five fifty one,

555
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty The numbers to

556
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: get on board. Have an open line for you there.

557
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,200

573
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: come back and talk about this more. And what do

574
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: you think? What do you do? You check primetime games first?

575
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 1: I always check the opener. I think I do too.

576
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: I always you always you can't do anything else. You're

577
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna read the list. It's start at the top, and

578
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: that's what the home opener. Yeah, I mean I get that.

579
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: It almost sounds stupid, but like my eyeballs usually go there.

580
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: I would say. The next thing I do is I

581
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: check the kickoff times down the left column to see

582
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: how many prime time games there are. I've been doing

583
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: this a long time. Here's what you do, and here's

584
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: how it works for everybody, whether you want it or

585
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: not from straight from the task or tutorial. It's very

586
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: much where you see it first and how it's presented.

587
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: If you go down the top, you meaning meaning you

588
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: look for you go, okay, the top, The top thing

589
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: you always look at is the home opener. But then

590
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: what catches your eye? Is it a string of away games?

591
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: Where's the bye week? And if it look if it's

592
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: a written list. If it's a written list, what catches

593
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: your eye when you look? As for me, what catches

594
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: your eye? If it's oh, the bye weeks all the

595
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: way at the bottom? When when? When is that? Or

596
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: it's a strangling what's all this block here? Oh my gosh,

597
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: we got four away games in a row. And if

598
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: it's stuff like that is how I see it and visually,

599
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: how it catches your eyes and what you look for next,

600
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: And then you get into the nitty grittys like it

601
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: is it is the time think list? Is the Times listed?

602
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: Or is it over on the other side where it's

603
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Monday night football? Is it the television networks logo that

604
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: catches your eye? How many CBS? It's? Whatever catches your

605
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: eye is what you go to and you start noticing first.

606
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: You can say you're interested in that stuff first, but

607
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: what catches your eye is what you're looking at. I

608
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: think last year, the the quirk of the schedule was

609
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: the Bills played the Dolphins twice before they played the

610
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: Patriots or the Jets. That's twice they were done. That's

611
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: what they were done with the Dolphins before they even

612
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: looked at any other divisions. What catches your eye is

613
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: what's unusual about it? Yeah, the quirks, that's what catches

614
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: your eye. And I think it's really interesting to think

615
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: about that because you, like you said, you look for all, right,

616
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: what do they do to us this time? Like, what's

617
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna make this what's a problem You're going to like?

618
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: What they do to us this time. That's right, that's

619
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: what you do that you as a journalist, you're always

620
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: looking for that. For me, I'm always like, okay, what

621
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: you know. I don't have a lot of faith in

622
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: the system. What catches my eye about this? What's interest

623
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: better than it used to be? Though, I will say

624
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: that they've done a great job of making it as

625
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: fair and equitable as they possibly can. They try, well,

626
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: they've always tried, but they didn't care as much before. Well, no,

627
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes they're with all the permutations they have

628
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: to go through, there's gonna be something that slips through

629
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: the cracks. But they've done a really good job of

630
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: putting cock and all the cracks. The last when do

631
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: they just go to go to two preseason games and

632
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: give us the eighteen game schedule and the tasker plan

633
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: that will happen before this CBA is out. You watch

634
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: ten years CBAI happened. I agree. Uh, let's go to

635
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: the phones and to Jim and Jamestown who's been waiting

636
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: patiently to lead us off today. Jim, you're all bills live.

637
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Steve? I think it's

638
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: a chairsity you're now in the all fame by now,

639
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: and um, I think the Bills have a really good

640
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: shot for another Super Bowl run this year. Yeah they do.

641
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Now what what, Jim? Answer me this? Because I'm curious

642
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: what you think about this, because you know you're you're

643
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: sharing a lot of the same expectations of a lot

644
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: of Bills fans. Is there anything that could happen with

645
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: this schedule that would make you feel any differently? Like,

646
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: let's just say they've got three road games in a

647
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: row somewhere and it's at Rams, at Chiefs, and at like,

648
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: is there anything that would change your mind? I would say,

649
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: I think the Bill is a twelve and three this year,

650
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: twelve and three only paying twelve and five. Yeah, okay?

651
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: Is that what he said? Easily? Okay? I mean, come on,

652
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: what else they have in the seas besides the Bills? Well,

653
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: the teams I think are closing the gap, But the

654
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: Bills are still the class of the division for sure.

655
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: There's no debate there. But the AFC is a bear, Jim.

656
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: The AFC is a bear with big fangs and claws.

657
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: With all the quarterbacks we got in this conference. Now,

658
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have to play the Broncos, but

659
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: you know they got, we got we added Russell Wilson,

660
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, you know, I mean the rich got richer

661
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: in the AFC. It's crazy, it's crazy. Um yeah, I

662
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: mean all the all the quarterbacks swaps. The team that

663
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to the AFC got the better of the deal. You

664
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: think about it, the team that doesn't have a quarterback

665
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 1: is also the team that was the number one seed

666
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: last year in the same situation with the same quarterback Tennessee.

667
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it is one hundred percent on arms race

668
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: in this conference. Literally think about it. Mac Jones from

669
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: last year and also the Pittsburgh Steelers with now they're

670
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: switching quarterbacks, but Mac Jones is probably the guy you're thinking, Okay,

671
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: that's a quarterback in the in the playoff. Um, but

672
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: you've got Matt Ryan. I mean, even though Joe Burrow,

673
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson and those are the guys that

674
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: are on teams that were out of the playoffs last year.

675
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Justin Herbert threw for five thousand yards, didn't

676
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and then Russ Wilson for the thirteenth

677
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: place in the AFC Denver Bronco. There were two guys

678
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: that threw for five thousand yards last year, Justin Herbert

679
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: and some guy named Brady. That was it. He didn't

680
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. It's a pretty good conference, and he's

681
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: playing in a division that has now added Russell Wilson

682
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams to it. And Khalil Mack. Yeah, have

683
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: fun with that. Well, Khalil max on his team, so

684
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: he's probably pretty happy about that. So yeah, I mean

685
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: that's that's what we're looking at in the AFC. It's

686
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: a Listen, it's a quarterback league. Yeah, added Matt Ryan

687
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson to the AFC along with it's a

688
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: quarterback league. You got Mahomes, Alan Burrow, car Mac Jones,

689
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: you got Matt Ryan. Did you say you got Herbert?

690
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: You got Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, Russ Wilson, even got

691
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Zach Lawrence, two of the better I

692
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: would say they're probably gonna be two of the better

693
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the other side of it. And going from that,

694
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Dak Prescott, Matthew, mat Stafford,

695
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and that's Jimmy Garoppolo. That hurts Winston, Jameis Winston,

696
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: come on, come on, come on with this? Yeah. Nothing,

697
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: It dropped off a cliff after Stafford. Like half the

698
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: teams in the playoff race in the NFC have quarterbacks,

699
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: and every team all the way down to the tenth

700
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: team in the AFC has got a quarterback. It's it

701
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: is so lopsided it hurts. Yeah, let's go back to

702
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: the phones and to Gary on a sale. Who wants

703
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: to talk? Schedule we got for us? Gary? Good, guys,

704
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: y all day. I'm good. First thing about Brady, I

705
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: thought Troyton was born. This is gonna be the most

706
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: vanilla announcement you've ever seen. Oh, so you think Brady's

707
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: gonna be even worse? Oh, every time they interview him,

708
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: I want a false leap. Yeah me too. I mean

709
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: you can only hear so much about avocado toast, you

710
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Oh, bad news. He's always so

711
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: upbeatn just so U you know, well you would be

712
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: too if you want seven Super Bowls and had a

713
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: super bottle as a wife and made twenty seven or

714
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars at a thirty seven and a million

715
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half million dollars contract waiting for

716
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: you when you finish your career that you were better

717
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: at than anybody else. Yeah, it's not hard to take

718
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: on the day. Pretty happy too when you got that

719
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: going for his not laugh lines, Gary, you'd be so happy.

720
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: What else? Gary? H? I was just John Man. He

721
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: made it fun. Yeah, I agree with that. What do

722
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: you think? What do you like Romo? I like him.

723
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: I mean he's I just feel like these guys are

724
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: told what to say more now. It seems like, you know,

725
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: everything's so worried what they say, so they just say

726
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: the most common stuff. You think, Yeah, you think he's

727
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: he's taken it. He's Yeah, exactly. He's not as innovative

728
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: as he was two years ago. Yeah, Madden was like

729
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: and and thanks for the call, Gary, we got to

730
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: move along. But Man was like the guy you sit

731
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: with at the bar talking football. That's what made him

732
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: so up. He he he made it accessible for people

733
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: who weren't. And see, here's the thing. There is such

734
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: a growing percentage of viewers who do know something about

735
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: the sport. Right when when Madden took over back in

736
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: in the eighties. No, but you know, it was like

737
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: you were trying to get soccer moms and guy in

738
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: everybody else to start watching, and they did because he

739
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I understand it now, I say, he says,

740
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: this guy, I can get it. He didn't say cover

741
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: two and your roll to cover one. When you got

742
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: the off corner and people are going what he wouldn't say,

743
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: like the A gap or the B gapp He say

744
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: this guy over here has got to block this guy

745
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: over here. That's that's what he would say. But now

746
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: you got guys like Romo and I would argue that,

747
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, the fan base is a little more sophisticated here.

748
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: The casual fans, it's harder to grip. It's a fair

749
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: amount of material. It's harder to entertain them because they're

750
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: watching something they understand a lot better. We have to

751
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: take a break here, but Jim and Orchard Park Scott

752
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: on a cell, Hank Tight, we'll get to you when

753
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: we return here. On one Bill's Live Talking Schedule, presented

754
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:51,959
Speaker 1: by Kalid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hey Bills fans,

755
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: let's pack the pantry and help Wegmans and head coach

756
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,160

765
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: and food Link in Rochester. This initiative is being spearheaded

766
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: by Coach McDermott because two of his three kids have

767
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: food allergies. One has a nut allergy and the other

768
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: has a sesame allergy, which my oldest my daughter has

769
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: a sesame allergy as well. It's a real thing. I mean,

770
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: she's got the EpiPen in the whole nine yards and

771
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: I know I've talked to Coach McDermott about it. His

772
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,479
Speaker 1: daughter's got the EpiPen. It's a real thing. You really,

773
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: you gotta read labels, you know. We have My wife's

774
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Italian. I'm half Italian. We have a

775
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of Italian food in the house. And one of

776
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: the things we can't have. And there are a lot

777
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: of Italian breads that have sesame on their ingredients list.

778
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: We got to avoid those all together. Ye, just not

779
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: an option. A lot of Asian food is made with

780
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: sesame oil off the list for her. We don't even

781
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: go near sushi with her because it's not worth the risk.

782
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: So if you have time and you're in your local

783
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: Wegmans in Buffalo or Rochester, consider consider, you know, purchasing

787
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: the players who do that they do. They get involved

788
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,560

792
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of food, Steve, Okay, I don't know if you

793
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: saw this. Washington Commander's rookie quarterback Sam Howell, North Carolina

794
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: draft choice. He only eats chicken when it comes to

795
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: any type of meat protein. Okay, Steve, he has never

796
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: tried a hamburger, he has never tried steak, and he

797
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: won't eat seafood. He is chicken only by choice. He's

798
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: not like never even tried beef, never never touched his lips.

799
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: No burger, no steak. In his life, he has only

800
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: eaten chicken as a meat or a like a meat protein.

801
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: No fish, seafood, not a burger, not a steak. What's

802
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: wrong with this man? I get along with everybody, and

803
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: I have a lot of time Holdrenson grace for everybody

804
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: who I come across. And that could be a freak. Steve,

805
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: he's a freak. After looking at is that's like leprosy

806
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: right there. That's that's that is an altered that is

807
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: an altered state. You can't guy, I will say that guy.

810
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: Forget it. I did a little digging here. It gets

811
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: worse now. I get him. I get it. If you're

00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: forget it, This doesn't hit the legitimacy meter in any way,

815
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: shape or form. And here's why. Okay, because I did

816
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: a little digging into this story a little further so.

817
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: Being a football player, yeah, you gotta keep weight on

818
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: and all. Well, not only that, but like you go

819
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: out with your position group, you go out to dinner

820
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: eight times out of ten. Where are these football players

821
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: going to a steakhouse? Yeah? Now, wait a minute, a steakhouse.

822
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: They no, no, no, no, no. They don't even have

823
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: poultry on the menu. You gotta I don't know what

824
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: steakhouses they always have salmon or something on there, right,

825
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but he doesn't need seafood, right,

826
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what steakhouse he goes to, but he

827
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: claims when he goes to a steakhouse with his teammates,

828
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're sitting he orders chicken tenders. What steakhouse, Steve,

829
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: self respecting steakhouse? The kids, the kids, we're dealing with

830
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: a six year old. What do you get the dino

831
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: chicken nuggets? Sam, Here's what I'm telling you right now, Steve.

832
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: If this guy ever starts in the league for Washington, like,

833
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: let's just say that Carson Wentz thing doesn't work. Can't

834
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: you see visiting fans pelting him with chicken tenders like

835
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: little Dino chicken nuggets. They're just flicking him at him

836
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: as he runs the tunnel. Oh my god, I can

837
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: see it. I get it. Yeah, I can see that too.

838
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna happen. There is no self respecting

839
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: organization that will turn the reins over to a billion

840
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: dollar industry to a guy that won't eat beef. I

841
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: won't even has ever tried it? Hold on, can't eat seef?

842
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: Come on, I got one more for you. That's earning,

843
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: Sam Howell, that's weird. I got one more for you.

844
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: Go ahead. So when you're on the road, okay, you're

845
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: at the hotel, there is usually what for the evening

846
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: meal team dinner? Right, yeah, teams chose up right, inevitably,

847
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: there is something you like. The menu was set by

848
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: the team's nutritionist to get these guys geared up. Right.

849
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: In college, when he went to team dinner, he would

850
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: bring his own chicken tenders. We're dealing with a second greader.

851
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a second I want my chicken tenders. Yeah,

852
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: that's Sam Howell's gonna lead your football team. That's the

853
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: second greader. You don't ask your birthday party too, By

854
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: the way, I mean, we're dealing with a six year old. Yeah,

855
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: this is a kid who whine for chicken tender. I

856
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: blame the parents. I blame the parents here. This is

857
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: the kid who had seven year old seven years old

858
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: wind until his parents just said, all right, the hell

859
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: with it. I'm gonna nuciss him chicken tenders into microwave.

860
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing you whine they gave in. That's

861
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: soft parenting, it is. I blame the parents here too,

862
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: mister and missus Howell, I am sorely disappointed that you

863
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: caved and gave this kid chicken tenders. It's now the

864
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: only thing you'll eat. Yeah, I'll say this. I'm um,

865
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm s he's not getting near my dog Vernon. I

866
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: don't trust him. You can't train in Washington. That would

867
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: not fly here. You can't trust a guy like that.

868
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: Come on. I mean, I know you and I subscribe

869
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: to a similar parenting philosophy. And I still remember, um

870
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: my wife, God bless her, anytime the kids raised any

871
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: kind of stink about what we were having for dinner,

872
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: and I and I cook a good portion of the time,

873
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: certainly more than alf the time. My wife would say, hey,

874
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: that's fine. You get what you get and you don't

875
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: throw a fit. Oh yeah, yeah, we're not making a

876
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: separate meal for you. My wife and had I had

877
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: serious this is what my wife had serious arguments about

878
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: a listen that you would say, what do you We'll

879
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: give them no, no, no, this is what we're having. Yeah,

880
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: they don't have to eat it, but they ain't getting

881
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: anything else. That's the way I grew up. That's just

882
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: the way it was. I mean, you didn't go in

883
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: there wasn't like this menu in the pantry of like,

884
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: oh there's a bag of chips, you can grab that

885
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: that that. There's none of that going on. You get

886
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: what you get. Oh yeah. And I'm a great eater

887
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: as a result. I mean, I eat here's the best part.

888
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: So my daughter was like a waif of a kid,

889
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: like she was a rail right, and my wife and

890
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: I would have discussions sometimes and we would say, she's

891
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: you know, if she doesn't eat this, should we be

892
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: worried about her getting the proper nutrition. And then we

893
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: both very quickly came to the determination, Hey, look We're

894
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: not Darwin. But kids in any species that are not

895
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: going to starve themselves, they will eat. So they will

896
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: bend and succumb to eating what is on their plate.

897
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: Hunger creates discipline. Oh my god, put that on a

898
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: side and hang it over the door. Hunger creates discipline.

899
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, I don't have to battle. Yeah,

900
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: you know what, And I'll say this. You want your kid,

901
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: you want it, your kid to stop eating. If you

902
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: don't want your kids to eat chips and cheetos and

903
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff, this just in, don't buy him, don't

904
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: have him in the house. I gotta tell you. That's

905
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: that's simple. They can't eat it if they ain't sitting

906
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: right here. I mean this may eventually benefit Sam how

907
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: if he becomes a starting quarterback in the league, because

908
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: all the chicken outlets are gonna line up to get

909
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: this guy. Now. The only other guy I can think

910
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: of that had a similar approach Wade Bogs, who played

911
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: third base for the Red Sox and later the Yankees

912
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: in his later years. He only ate chicken as a

913
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: pregame meal. But that was more of a routine, right,

914
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: I get that that's only chick We're talking every day.

915
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: That's not what we're talking about here. This is what's

916
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: his name, Sam Howell. I'm rooting again. This is the

917
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: only guy in the NFL. I'm rooting against. Sam Howell.

918
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: He of the chicken tenders and chicken tenders only has

919
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: never tried a hamburger? Is he even American? That bothers me. Well,

920
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: that we're just that's anti American. We're doomed. If we're

921
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: he didn't even mention if we're producing what is that

922
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: kid eating on the fourth of July? If we're if

923
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: we're producing athletes of this nature, we're doomed. We're doomed.

924
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. We gotta take a break because when

925
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna give you a little post

926
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: draft review if you want to get to know Khalil Shaker,

927
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: Bill's fifth round draft choice at a Boise State a

928
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: little bit more. Come back after the break. That's when

929
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 1: we're talking to Shakier's head coach at Boise State, Andy Ovelos.

930
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna join us next head coach of the Broncos.

931
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: Here on one Bill's Live Present by Kalid to Health,

932
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve tester who has

933
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

934
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role players. Dave Steve a blimp.

935
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strato beere of normalcy. All right,

936
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: welcome to our number two here on a Wednesday. We'll

937
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: be talking a little bit more schedule in just a bit,

938
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: but we turn now to a little post draft review.

939
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: On Day three of the draft, the Bills moved up

940
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty spots in round five to scoop up Boise statewide

941
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: receiver Khalil Shakier. And here to give us a little

942
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: bit more of the background on Shakier is the man

943
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: that recruited him to Boise State, second year head coach

944
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: Andy Avolos Okay coach. So let's begin here where you

945
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: began with Khalil in high school. He's a do everything

946
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: threat Dana Murrietta, and he's running wildcat quarterback. You know,

947
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: he's got rushed He's at like nine hundred rushing yards

948
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: and he's catching passes. Did you see him right away

949
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: as a receiver? You know that you hoped you could

950
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: land for the Broncos. Yeah, no question. I mean from

951
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: the standpoint of being extremely versatile, we always try to

952
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: have one or two guys in our offense. That is

953
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: what we call the weapon. A guy that can do

954
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: multiple things, play in the backfield, handle himself, but not

955
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: necessarily be you know, a permanent guy back there, but

956
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: can play in the slot line up via fly suite

957
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: type of guy. And it was very evident from the beginning,

958
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, as we started to watch Shocks film in

959
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: high school and the things that his high school coaches

960
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: said about him. The number one, he's able to handle

961
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: the mental side of playing all these different positions and

962
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't slow him down. He actually enjoys doing all

963
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: these different things. And obviously when you pop on the film,

964
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't hard to see, you know, his talent in

965
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: the things he can do on the field. One of

966
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: the things I know about being a college coach is

967
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: you gotta you're kind of projecting where this guy might

968
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: go to because when he when he started recruiting these

969
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: guys at seventeen years old, a lot of these guys

970
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: turn into something different when they get to college. They

971
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: put on weight, they grow taller. Tell us a little

972
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: bit about Shakier's transformation when he came in. How far

973
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: did he have to go to get to be this

974
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: top flight recruit and the top flight draft pick that

975
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: we see now and and tell us about that transition. Yeah,

976
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: there's no question. I mean from high school to college

977
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: it's a I mean we talked about all the time,

978
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of the biggest growth seasons

979
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: of their life. And a lot of different aspects the

980
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: mental side and as you're talking about the physical side,

981
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: and that just comes out in the development Number one,

982
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: how hard Shack works every single day. What he puts

983
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: into a workout is I mean, he gets out of

984
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: it different. He gets out of it a lot more

985
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: than other people that are doing the same workout because

986
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: what he puts into it, and that's who he is

987
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: in a training session, in the weight room, conditioning sessions,

988
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: and then obviously practice. You know, he practices the way

989
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: he plays and you love those guys from the standpoint of,

990
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, you got to you gotta pull them back

991
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: a little bit instead of having to get them going.

992
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: And I think ultimately that's what allowed Shack to develop,

993
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, coming coming from the high school player that

994
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: he was playing all these multiple positions to being able

995
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: to really identify that, hey, this guy he can line

996
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: up and play slot inside. He can line up on

997
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: the outside as well as the things that you know,

998
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: we know he can do in the back room. We

999
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: often hear from coach McDermott here in Buffalo that they

1000
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: look for players that they believe have bills what they

1001
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: call Bill's DNA, and it's usually somebody that they're not

1002
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: going to wonder, Hey, what am I getting from this

1003
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: guy in week sixteen when his body's hanging and he's

1004
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: beat up, and I want to know that I'm still

1005
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: going to get the same thing out of him in

1006
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: a practice on a Thursday in week sixteen that I

1007
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: get in week two or three. They obviously feel that

1008
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: Khalil has that. Having sat in his living room with

1009
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: his parents and you know, talk to them, knowing his

1010
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: dad's a master sergeant in the Marines, did you kind

1011
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: of derive pretty quickly that, you know, Khalil was kind

1012
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: of a straight and narrow, always get the job done

1013
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of kid, very self driven. Number one, His standard

1014
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: and expectations for himself is very high. So what comes

1015
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 1: with that is a consistency of what you're talking about,

1016
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: whether it's week number two or week number seventeen. You know,

1017
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: he's going to come to get it done every morning.

1018
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: And the best part about him too, it's not just

1019
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: about him. It is about him in terms of how

1020
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: he carries himself in the standard he holds himself too.

1021
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: But when I say it's not about him, it's not

1022
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: about all the flash and everything else. It's about the team.

1023
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: It's about the things he does to help his teammates,

1024
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: to help bring him along. And that's one of the

1025
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: best qualities about him is that he is a great,

1026
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: great teammate. Yeah, one of the things you see you

1027
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: can kind of tell you look for subtleties when you

1028
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: watch film and stuff, and it does seem like his

1029
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: teammates responded to him as well, like he was a

1030
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: well liked guy. You see him when he celebrates, He's

1031
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: got like six guys coming by to give him five

1032
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, they all want to make sure they get

1033
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: over to say hi to him. You don't always see that.

1034
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: Was he that kind of presence in your locker room

1035
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: without a doubt. I mean through the middle of the

1036
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: year last year, he was a you know, we became

1037
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: way more consistent as a whole team, and a lot

1038
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: of that had to do with him and you know,

1039
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: just a couple other guys in our leadership, they really

1040
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: put their foot down and said, listen, we're going to

1041
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: be more consistent overall with our account ability and player

1042
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: to player, and we're going to lead that. It can't

1043
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: be the coaches. We've got to lead that as players.

1044
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: And he did an unbelable job helping us create that,

1045
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: and obviously through this last spring, our team has been

1046
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: able to build off of those some of these things

1047
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: we re established within our foundation. But you can see

1048
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: on some of these highlights right here that you guys

1049
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, it's not all about him. He

1050
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: makes a big play and his teammates are there to

1051
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: celebrate with him because his teammates know that. You know,

1052
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: he does everything for the team. And it's not only

1053
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: when he has a ball in his hands too. Now

1054
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: the guy will block, the guy will do other things

1055
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: to help his teammates as well. Talking with Boise State

1056
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: head football coach Andy Ablos, who obviously coached Khalil Shakier,

1057
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: Bill's fifth round draft choice, and the other thing too,

1058
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: that I wanted to kind of get a sense of

1059
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: from you, coach, because Brandon being the general manager here

1060
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 1: in Buffalo already said we kind of envisioned him being

1061
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: that fourth wide out who backs up all spots. You

1062
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: already shed some light on, you know, Khalil's mental processing

1063
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: skills and the ability to handle that kind of responsibility.

1064
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: What I'm what I want to get from you is

1065
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: there seems to be a certain kind of polish to

1066
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: his route running. Can you just maybe elaborate on what

1067
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: he has done or well, how much he has learned

1068
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: in that area of football and how much of that

1069
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: you just have to have to kind of recognize leverage

1070
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: of the defense or where the green grass is, you know,

1071
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: the nuances of route running. He seems to be very

1072
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: advanced in that area. For what will you know he's

1073
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a rookie in the fall? Yeah, there's no question.

1074
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's obviously a sailing that there's still room

1075
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: to grow for him in those areas. But his knowledge

1076
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: of leverage, whether he's in the slot and he's running

1077
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: routes based off of leverage of defenders, certain coverages and

1078
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: those things like, he can see those and adapt and adjust.

1079
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, our quarterback here, Hank Bachmeyer, would you know

1080
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: he trusted and relied on Khalil and would go to

1081
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: him a lot more because he knows that Shock's going

1082
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: to be where he's supposed to be consistently from that

1083
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: standpoint um, you know, and from the standpoint of we

1084
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: moved Shock around a lot too, um. And so not

1085
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: only is he doing it from a stationary position, but

1086
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: he's doing it from you know, coming off of emotion,

1087
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: when when coverages are adjusting due to motion, and he's

1088
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: still able to figure those things out pretty quickly. And

1089
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: so you know, he's going to have to continue to

1090
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: develop in all areas. You know, he is a good

1091
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: route runner. One of his uh, his quickness is lateral

1092
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: quickness is really really good um um. He could obviously

1093
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: continue to build off of getting it out of his

1094
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: routes and transitions, things like that. Most of us here

1095
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, we don't think about college football until it's

1096
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: time to draft. Some of these guys, give us an

1097
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: idea of your team where I know this is gonna

1098
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: your your second year as head coach. You've been associated

1099
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: with a program before, you were an alumni, you were

1100
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: a great player there. Give us an idea about what

1101
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: where you were at this year and where you what

1102
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: your future prospects are where the Boise State Broncos gonna

1103
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: do in the next year or two. What are your plans? Yeah,

1104
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: no questions. So, like we were talking about before, in

1105
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, last year, we really made

1106
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: a big jump with our consistency week in and week out,

1107
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: and so Shack had a big part of that. We're

1108
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: able to carry on with that this spring. The competitive

1109
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 1: nature of the team and the consistency of the team

1110
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: this spring is it looks totally different than it did

1111
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: last year. So the guys are leading it now much

1112
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: like what Khalil got started and he left his you know,

1113
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Khalil really left his footprint on this program in terms

1114
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: of helping us re establish this foundation of how it's

1115
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: always been at Boise State, where you know, the players

1116
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: are elite competitors and they helped lead and you know,

1117
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: from here going forward, we actually have a lot of

1118
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: guys that have come back that either were plus one

1119
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: seniors due to the COVID year and or guys that

1120
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: potentially could have went to the NFL. So we're excited

1121
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: about the depth and the roster we have coming back

1122
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: going into the summer time here. The guys are on

1123
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: a little break right now, but we start summer workouts

1124
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks and we're excited to

1125
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: get them back and finish doing the work it's going

1126
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: to take to be an elite team. The last one

1127
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: for me coach. Obviously, you probably kept at least one

1128
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: eye on the draft for obvious reasons. After you saw

1129
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, Khalil go on day three. What was the

1130
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: exchange that you know, maybe you had with him, either

1131
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: if it was just a simple quick text or a

1132
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: phone call. Well, just through the process and that you

1133
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: know in the days, you know, the first couple days

1134
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: of the draft there, it's just be patient. Everything happens

1135
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: for a reason. You'll end up in the right place

1136
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: because of who you are and the right people are

1137
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna watch you, and it's going to be an unbelievable fit. Obviously,

1138
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: what the Bills have done here at late and building

1139
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: their program and their team and their organization into the

1140
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: competitive team that they are, I mean, it's it's exciting

1141
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: to know that Shaq's going to go into a place

1142
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: where it is about the team, where you know they're

1143
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 1: looking for a certain DNA because he does have that,

1144
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: and that's where you know it's a huge fit for him,

1145
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: and that's why we're all excited to see what he

1146
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: does well. Coach, congratulations, and I know Bill's fans will

1147
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: be thanking you for all the work you've done with

1148
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Shaker to get him ready for his time here in Buffalo.

1149
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: We're excited to see him playing. Can't wait to can't

1150
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: have him come in and get a look at him

1151
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: in rookie minicamp. We're looking forward to that as well.

1152
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys for having boys stayed on. Go Broncos. Yeah,

1153
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: thanks very much. Coach, good luck this coming season. Thank

1154
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: you guys. All Right, that's Boise State a head football

1155
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: coach Andy Avelos joining us to talk a little bit

1156
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: about Bill's fifth round draft pick, Khalil Shakir. So pretty

1157
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: cool to kind of just get a little bit more

1158
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: insight into what Khalil is going to bring. I thought

1159
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: it was interesting. It's clear that his nickname is Shack, right,

1160
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, playing off of his last name Shakier. It's

1161
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: nickname Shack. I don't know if that's gonna fly here.

1162
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: We already have a Shack got Shack lawson on the roster. Yeah,

1163
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: they have to come up with a different nickname for him.

1164
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: That's not a small thing either. Yeah, because living in

1165
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: a locker room, having your own nickname, maybe he's a

1166
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: little shack. Yeah there something will happen, um Shack Junior.

1167
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Because nobody goes by their full name ever. So um yeah,

1168
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see, but it's it's nice to

1169
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: see and indicative of the kind of vetting process these

1170
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: draft picks go through, not just with the bills and

1171
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: the bills. This finger quotes bills DNA. Every team feels

1172
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: that way. They got to find a guy they like.

1173
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Some teams don't put us, even in this day and age,

1174
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: don't put as much emphasis on that as other teams do. Um.

1175
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, teams are drafting guys with you know, issues

1176
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: all the time, and let's face it, they gotta draft somebody.

1177
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: And not every kid is gonna be the quality of

1178
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, of a you know, Khalil Shakir or guys

1179
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: like that, or you know, Tradavious White and the guys

1180
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: that you know, you can go down the list on

1181
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: the bills, the guys who you know, you don't love,

1182
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 1: who have great character and you know, kind of those

1183
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: great personalities we love. Not everybody's gonna be like that.

1184
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,959
Speaker 1: But it's indicative is to how important the Bills front

1185
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: office thinks it is and how far they'll go jumping

1186
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: up twenty spots to grab him. I would say that

1187
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: the most eye opening comment made by Brandon Bean was

1188
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: ten minutes after he drafted the kid. He basically said,

1189
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: we could see him in the number four receiver role,

1190
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: which in this offense is responsible for backing up all

1191
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: three spots, the X Z, the slot well and he

1192
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: and that was the role that Gabe Davis had here

1193
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: as a rookie because they felt he could handle it.

1194
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: So the most encouraging thing that I just heard from

1195
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Kajavlos was not only did they put him in a

1196
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: similar role lining him up anywhere, and that he was

1197
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: capable of mentally processing all of those responsibilities, but what

1198
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: he said after that encourages me even more. He said

1199
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: he embraced being responsible for all those spots. So it's

1200
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: not just a kid who's capable of handling it all mentally.

1201
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: He wants it give it to me. That's big. That's

1202
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: way Gabe Davis was too. And in twenty twenty was

1203
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis's rookie season. Yeah, and I remember, and you

1204
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: and I talked about it at the time. They bust

1205
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: out in this twenty twenty they go thirteen and three

1206
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: and through maybe one of the toughest schedules in the

1207
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: in the league that they were. They were going through

1208
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: the NFC West, the AFC. I mean, it was like wow.

1209
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: So that come they come out and bust out. On

1210
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: opening day, Gabe Davis is on the field. Yeah, and

1211
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: he's like lined up over there, he's lined up over here,

1212
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: and it doesn't stop. He's catching. He caught the first

1213
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: ball of the Buffalo Bills in his rookie season. That season,

1214
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: he was the first player to catch a pass that

1215
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: here right that I'm like now in the grand scheme, yeah,

1216
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things. In twenty twenty, he

1217
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: was a role player. He only had thirty five receptions,

1218
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: but seven of them went for touchdowns and three other

1219
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: touchdown catch just got called back on penalty. Now, I

1220
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: don't want to set the bar too high for Shakier,

1221
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and they are different receivers. Shakiir is not as big

1222
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: as Gabe Davis is. Gabe Davis is six two two fifteen,

1223
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: big kid, sneaks behind defenses, not a burner, but can

1224
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:36,439
Speaker 1: get deep. I think Shakiir is more of a He's

1225
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: like he's like your crossover SUV, you know what I mean.

1226
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Like he's not gigantic. He's about five eleven, around one

1227
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: ninety d you know, but I would I you know,

1228
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: And mentally he's probably on a par with Gabe Davis

1229
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: at least in terms of being a rookie. I just

1230
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: think there is some route nuance, as we discussed with

1231
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: Kajavelos too, Shakir's game where he comes into the league

1232
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: a little wise beyond his years in that aspect of

1233
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: the position that he plays, and Davis had some of

1234
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: that too, And again I don't want to keep drawing

1235
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: parallels to Davis, but because Brandon Bean felt comfortable doing it,

1236
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little more apt to do it myself. But

1237
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see. There's there's a lot

1238
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: of ground to cover between now and the start of

1239
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: the preseason, let alone the regular Sea And no matter

1240
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 1: how plus or minus his skill set is in comparison

1241
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: to Gabe Davis, who who filled that role up until now,

1242
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: he seems to be a starter at number two. Shakir

1243
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: seems to embrace that, and you need a guy coaches

1244
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: want a guy. Need a guy, Look for a guy

1245
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: who can do it. You can something happens in a game.

1246
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: Line him up at the X. Oh, now he's the Z,

1247
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: and now you need him at the Y. Okay, now

1248
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: you're the H on this play. Now you're going to

1249
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: be the Z on the next play. You need a

1250
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: guy that you know, and the quarterback is gonna be

1251
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: at least line up right. And that sounds like a

1252
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: small thing, it is not. He's gonna line up right

1253
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: and he's gonna know what he's supposed to do, whether

1254
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: he's the one option or not. At least the defense

1255
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: has to think he does. They're gonna have to guard him.

1256
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 1: And at least you got a guy who you're not

1257
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: saying out there, like go out there and run this.

1258
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: He goes out there and he's on it. You need

1259
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: a guy that you don't have to coach up in

1260
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: the middle of a play that's big, because it's not easy.

1261
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: These offenses are complex and they're important, and you need

1262
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: him to do something so that somebody else comes open

1263
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: or to go someplace, and if he's open, you got

1264
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Gabe Davis was a master at that. It

1265
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: was really good. If Shakier just knows where to line

1266
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: up and knows what to do on every play out

1267
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 1: of every spot, it's an enormous asset for him in

1268
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: his career and the team offensively. When you get into

1269
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: a game and somebody goes down, which somebody always does.

1270
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Somebody always as you know, twisted ankle, or they're out

1271
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: for again, they got ding, they have to walk something

1272
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: off string, or they just need a break. They ran

1273
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: three nine round, they ran three goals in a row.

1274
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: You need a guy to come in, Okay, plug him in,

1275
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: let him have let him take a couple of plays,

1276
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: and give the guy water, a drink of water. That

1277
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: stuff in the nuts and bolts of what it takes

1278
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 1: to win games is really really important. And the trust

1279
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: is something that they don't give out to anybody. Well,

1280
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: and that's to just anybody's Like, all this pedigree is

1281
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: very encouraging. You know, his dad was a marine, he

1282
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: was a master's sergeant. You knew he grew up in

1283
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: a discipline household. He's he does all the right things

1284
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: as a teammate. Mental processing is off the charts, can

1285
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: handle a heavy mental workload, multiple position responsibilities, etc. Etc. Etc. Now,

1286
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the proof's going to be in the pudding. Do it

1287
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: on the field, because the number one thing that coaches

1288
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: value in players is trust. That's exactly right. You can

1289
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: have all the ability in the world to play at

1290
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: this level, but if the coach is not convinced that

1291
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: you're capable of executing your assignment, handling an audible at

1292
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, or making a decision and reading

1293
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: a defense the same way the quarterback does, you're not

1294
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of playing time, right, not in

1295
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: this league. There's too much on the line every week.

1296
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: That's right. You have to be trusted by a coaching

1297
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: staff if you expect to get any kind of appreciable

1298
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: playing time. And that's that's the way it's going to be.

1299
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: It's definitely the way it is here. That's the way

1300
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: it is everywhere. Coaches, that's why, that's why we've all

1301
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: seen it through the decades of our lives, where this

1302
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: coach he went here and he brought this guy with him,

1303
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: and he brought that guy with him, He brought this

1304
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,679
Speaker 1: guy with him. That's why you know this coach, this player,

1305
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:01,799
Speaker 1: this veteran, you know this administrator, this this scout, guys

1306
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 1: bring guys like that with him because they trust them. Period.

1307
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: It's as far that's all you have to say, that's

1308
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: all you have to say, and to earn that is

1309
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: very important for a guy's career, any player's career. Yeah.

1310
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: And Brandon Bean also said in his draft wrap up

1311
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: press conference, I think he told us here when he

1312
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 1: was on set with us in studio last week. He said, Yeah,

1313
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: after I picked Shakir, I got a couple of angry

1314
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: texts from some other gems in the league, and ah,

1315
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: you took our guy, you know, because the bid. Let's

1316
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: not forget. The biggest move the Bills made on the

1317
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: board was in round five for Khalil Shakir. They moved

1318
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: twenty spots up the board. And granted, it's easier to

1319
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: move up and down the board in the later rounds

1320
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: where the picks aren't nearly as valuable, but moving up

1321
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: twenty spots for a guy that was sticking out like

1322
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: a sore thumb on Buffalo's board. If there could ever

1323
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: be a big statement made about a fifth round draft choice,

1324
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: moving up twenty spots to get him is probably it. Yeah, yeah,

1325
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: and we'll see. I mean, that's they got a long

1326
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: way to go. But certainly I think this draft class,

1327
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: more so than any others, struck me with the skill

1328
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: sets they got Elam, Shakier and Cook. Those are guys

1329
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: that have certain skill sets that can get in and contribute.

1330
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: Right now. You don't always see that versatile players. Versatile

1331
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Alam can play any defensive scheme their versatility. Cook can

1332
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: do anything from the running of your ability to plug

1333
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: them in. Even even Bernard Herrel, Bernard the third round linebacker,

1334
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: is a guy that fits in between, you know, can

1335
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: play both linebackers right, both of them Edmonds, and he

1336
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: might be able to play the hybrid position. So yeah,

1337
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 1: you know, in a in a big nickel situation exactly.

1338
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: So I it's I think I said this, this is

1339
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: my mantra going forward. I told you this, and this

1340
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: morning we've got in here. You're gonna see a lot

1341
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: more positionless football players in the NFL. You're gonna have

1342
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: guys who can play halfback, fullback, tight end, wide receiver

1343
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: and mix it all in there. And you're gonna have

1344
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 1: three If you have three of those guys and one

1345
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: of them, you know what I mean. Um, it's think

1346
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: about oj Howard, think about how hard it's going to

1347
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: be to defend those guys. Er Oj Howard's a great

1348
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 1: Howard is like a tight receiver, right, you know what

1349
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean? Six five plus and he's two and he

1350
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: can outrun people. Um, so yeah, that he's an issue

1351
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: for a defense to match up against. So, because we

1352
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: were talking to Dan Orlovsky about that on the show yesterday.

1353
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: Guys that are not scheme dependent, you know, they kind

1354
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: of morph and change with how you change personnel groupings,

1355
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: physician assignments, how alignments. They're gonna put him out there,

1356
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: see what you think about them as a defense, and

1357
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: then they're gonna make their they're gonna make their call

1358
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: with other personnel about we're gonna get you. Then you know,

1359
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:07,880

1360
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: you do that, we're gonna do something else. So being

1361
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:15,839

1390
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: our studio, that market on the calendar. It's like the

1391
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: day that air conditioner kicked on. It's freezing. I got

1392
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: an instigator swift right here, my guy, I can't even

1393
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:22,000

1394
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: you do. We all And let's face it, everything about

1395
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: the schedule, all these topics that people look at it

1396
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 1: we all digest them. At some point, we all kind

1397
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: of get our minds around what it's gonna because we

1398
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, we chew this up because it's kind of

1399
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: for me and you obviously it affects our lives on

1400
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: the day to day basis. But for most people, they

1401
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: got plans they want to like vacations, time off, family gatherings,

1402
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: you got you know, trips you want to take. You

1403
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: want to go see the team, all road road games.

1404
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 1: So you all, we all digest every facet of this

1405
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 1: schedule as it comes out and in some way, shape

1406
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: or form. But the first thing you look at, and

1407
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: you're right, people kind of prioritize what's you know, It

1408
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: starts with how to affects me? And I am I

1409
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna go to that opener wins the is it? Is

1410
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: it week one or is it week two? The Monday

1411
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: night game? All right, so then what are we gonna do?

1412
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: And then road trips? You want to take it? So

1413
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: we all go through it. And you know, Jack goes

1414
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: down the list. How many Prime times National windows? You

1415
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 1: know he's running September. What's how many games in September

1416
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at at home? At home? How many

1417
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: home games in December? What's itchedule goes into January. It's

1418
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: seventeen games in an eighteen week season. And I'll say

1419
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 1: this too. This is where the TV people are at

1420
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: odds with Bills fans. TV people want Bills to have

1421
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 1: four December home games because they want to get them

1422
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: one of those games that is impossibly like pick like

1423
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis game. They want that, and Bills fans are like, now,

1424
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: I want to don't make me sitting there right, just

1425
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 1: give us, you know, put them on the road to

1426
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: Miami and LA in December, so we don't have to

1427
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: do that. We'll take the home games in you know, January,

1428
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: in the playoff time. Give us those, we'll we'll live

1429
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: through those. Those we can do. But you know, come on,

1430
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: Mike on the tweet sheet says, I'm looking to see

1431
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: if the rumor are e bills at Ravens Thanksgiving Night

1432
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: is legit. This one crossed on social media last night

1433
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: and set off a firestorm as it was a claimed leak.

1434
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: There is no validity to that tweet last night as

1435
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: we understand it. So we're gonna have to just wait

1436
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: and see if it proves to be true. But Mike says,

1437
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: we'll be traveling from Florida to meet up with Ravens

1438
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: fans family for the game, if in fact, bills at

1439
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: Ravens Thanksgiving Night rumor is true. At what temp is

1440
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:46,560
Speaker 1: raven medium, rare? Yeah, yeah, that's it. You got you

1441
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: got plans And that's it's interesting because you've got family

1442
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: and friends who are huge fans of one team or

1443
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: the other and they want you know, you're gonna watch

1444
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: it together as fun. You know, you gotta get get

1445
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: that into your belt. That's that's a good call. I mean,

1446
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: I get that too, and I've said it a ton.

1447
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: We've we've had We're going round and round about how

1448
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: cool it is to be here in Buffalo for some

1449
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: of these home games, particularly these the ones that you

1450
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: can tailgate for. Man, oh man, there's nothing like it.

1451
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: It's if the weather is great, there's no place like it.

1452
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: That's why, you know. And I was playing around a

1453
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: golf with a guy and he said, you know, he goes.

1454

01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: want to come to the game when it's bad out,

1459
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: and I got a box because they like watching it

1460
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: at home with their routine. Uh, he goes. I love

1462
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,880

01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: because it's a great event happening and everybody's there. It's

1464

1466
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: in high Mark. Yeah, Tiffany says, it's that first game,

1467
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: especially if it's Thursday against the Rams. If you put

1468
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 1: it to the defending champs in their building, on national TV.

1469
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: It's a heck of a way to start a season

1470
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: filled with championship expectations. Yeah, there's there's a big I

1471
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: saw this the other night. That's gonna be. People are like,

1472
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be. We're gonna start

1473
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: in La. We're gonna play the Rams, beat them in

1474
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: their house, and then we're gonna play them again in

1475
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It'll be the first game of the

1476
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,560
Speaker 1: season and the last game. Wow. I hadn't thought of

1477
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: that yet. Yeah, wow, that's what you know. And then

1478
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:36,440
Speaker 1: will be in Vegas right for the Super Bowl. Glendale,

1479
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 1: Arizona is Pro Bowl, Las Vegas. Okay, um, okay, Glendale,

1480
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Stadium is where Bowl and everything. Okay,

1481
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: it was the Draft and anyway, the Pro Bowl. That's

1482
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: the big. That's the big, the big. Kind of wishful

1483
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: thinking from from Bill's Fan twelve to eighty three. For me,

1484
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,600
Speaker 1: it's when is that LA game? My wife and I

1485
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: have family there, so I was hoping we could kill

1486
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: two birds with one stone and hopefully the Bills mafia

1487
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: can take over their stadium like we do most places

1488
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: go Bills. There is a fair number of Buffalo transplants

1489
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: that live in the state of California. I don't you

1490
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: know how many are in La Proper to go to

1491
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the game. I don't know, but I think any Bills

1492
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: fan who lives full time in California that's within two

1493
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: hours of Sofi will be there for that game, like unquestionably. Yeah.

1494
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: That's because that's as close as they're coming to you

1495
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, it's a must. Yeah, people will do it.

1496
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: And I get it. It's a brand new stadium too

1497
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: are It's got all the bells and whistles. He could

1498
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: possibly to see it, but you know, I'm not gonna

1499
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: make it out there. So Weasley on the tweet, Josh

1500
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: Allen is going to take his anger out for twenty

1501
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: three straight weeks to a Super Bowl title. The schedule

1502
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: order matters very little. Why can't I see him putting

1503
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: his pinky up to his mouth like Doctor Evil as

1504
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 1: he says that the order matters. The order matters very little. Yeah,

1505
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Veto says, calling it Bills at Dolphins Week one Titans

1506
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 1: at Bills Week two will be the home opener. There

1507
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of consternation about whether the announced game

1508
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: Bills hosting Titans on Monday night here in week two

1509
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: would also be the home opener. And the poor Bill's

1510
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Ticket office they worked so hard over there. They put

1511
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: out this email telling people when the home opener is announced,

1512
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: there will be a pre sale and you know, etcetera, etcetera,

1513
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: et pre sale for season ticket members, whatever. Whatever. Because

1514
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,480
Speaker 1: the Bill's Ticket office in the email did not specifically

1515
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: list the Week two Titans game as the home opener,

1516
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: some believed, oh, our first two games are at home.

1517
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: They didn't say the home opener was the Titans game

1518
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: in week two. That means we have another one in

1519
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: week while. I was like, hold on, hold on, we're

1520
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: jumping to conclusions there, right, but you know, try to

1521
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 1: stop people that are nuts about the schedule. You know

1522
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: what I mean? Right and now that and you know

1523
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: this too. We've been talking about how teams make um,

1524
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, requests of the schedule makers. If you can

1525
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: do this, we'd love this. We'd love that. We look.

1526
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: Would the Bills not say, hey, listen, we we had

1527
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: we were snake bitten by weather last year, even in

1528
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: the early going. Could you please give us a bunch

1529
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: of early games at home? And you can say okay,

1530
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: now they're gonna get Miami at home, then Tennessee at home,

1531
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: or or whoever Green Bay at home or Tennessee at home.

1532
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: They could open with two home games. Sure, they could

1533
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: open up with four home games. Nothing's written in stone,

1534
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. But so yeah, you can

1535
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: see the bills asking say, hey, listen, can we get

1536
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: some early games at home because we got crushed last

1537
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,839
Speaker 1: year by the way there and then and maybe it happened.

1538
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: I doubt it. Yeah, Alan on the tweet sheet says,

1539
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: my wife's a Packers fan, so that's a huge game.

1540
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: That is a home game this year. But I'm already

1541
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: set on going to the home opener on Monday night.

1542
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,640
Speaker 1: See here's a guy who thinks the home opener is

1543
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 1: definitely weak two against the Titans. The electricity will be

1544
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: insane if that is the home opener Monday night, Week two. WHOA,

1545
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Is placed done to have a

1546
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: roof to be popped off? Yeah? Yeah, they'd be taking

1547
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: it off. Yeah, that's if it is the home opener,

1548
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: which it might be. Um, it's gonna be a long

1549
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: day on that Monday waiting for it. Yeah, waiting for it.

1550
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: And I know that's not the favorite. That's not often

1551
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: the favorite of the good folks in the Erie County

1552
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Sheriff's department because it's all day Monday. I feel for man.

1553
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: I know for the beverages to a long people will

1554
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: be in a froth by four day afternoon. The bullpen

1555
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: is the bullpen is full, and they got they got? Yeah? Uh,

1556
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: Lisa on the tweet sheet, I want to see one

1557
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: when we play case and since weeks not times two

1558
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 1: when divisional games are, and three when our primetime games are,

1559
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: I think we get five prime time games extras when

1560
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: the bye week falls compared to the rest of the division.

1561
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: I will say people look for where the bye week

1562
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: is number one, and then they say, ah, did they

1563
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: screw us with the bye week in comparison to our

1564
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: division opponents. As also there's a little bit of do

1565
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: we play a team like Miami on a Thursday night

1566
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: so that we can go down to see the game

1567
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 1: Thursday and have a long weekend In that kind of thing.

1568
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 1: Is the bye week around a family event, Like there's

1569
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: people that are have their hands together praying that the

1570
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: fall wedding that their cousin plan without knowing falls on

1571
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,040

1577
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: maybe it's a road game, or maybe that's a bye week.

1578
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 1: Best case scenario is the best, and it's not. Almost

1579
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: never happens. We have to take a break here, Steve

1580
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: and I to wrap things up. We may even revisit

1581
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 1: the Sam Howell situation as Liz and Buffalo is waiting

1582
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: patiently to comment on that. We'll try to get to you,

1583
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: Liz when we return. Here on one Bill's Live, presented

1584
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Last Hour.

1585
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: At this time, we mentioned how Washington commanders were quarterback

1586
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,839
Speaker 1: Sam Howell only eats chicken, has never had a hamburger

1587
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: or a steak in his life. Doesn't eat seafood either.

1588
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Here to weigh in on this is Liz in Buffalo. Liz,

1589
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: we got only about thirty seconds. What do you have

1590
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: for us? I would say that he probably has a

1591
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: meat allergy. No, he doesn't. He doesn't have it. We

1592
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 1: actually read up on it. He does not. He got

1593
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 1: an allergic. He's got an allergy to me being a

1594
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 1: mature eater. No, it's it's a personal choice, Liz, it is.

1595
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: We checked on that. It is not an allergen based decision.

1596
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: It's a personal choice. He said. He basically ate chicken

1597
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: as a young kid and never deviated, and and his

1598
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: parents let him do it. Yeah, and his parents let

1599
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,879
Speaker 1: him do it. Never tried anything else, doesn't eat seafood,

1600
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: brings chicken tenders to team meals. Good Lord like, I

1601
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: can just see visiting team visiting teams, fans hurling nuggets

1602
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: that is at him as he's walk into this. I

1603
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: don't live like that. I don't know Big Show tomorrow
