00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: I tried. Still. On the radio side, we're on the

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: radio side, we're casual and relaxed show when we're at

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: radio only. I noticed, yes, but we'll do our best.

Speaker 1: We'll get through it. Do we really, Stephen, I have

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this other than just say you

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: don't have great faces for radio anyway. So hey, um,

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: we're happy to be here and happy to have h

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: you know. Last night and Steve happy to get a

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: good night's sleep. He had a I got a little weekend,

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: brutal weekend schedule, right, Yeah, and you slept eleven hours

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: last night. I took a late flight out Friday night,

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: got into U Santa San Jose, Santa Clara, like late

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Saturday night, got any course on what East Coast time.

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: So my eyes snapped open at like five am, and

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: I was up, And then you know, we were up

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: until later that night doing meetings and stuff. Had the

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: game the next day, then the red eye flight home

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: and YadA YadA. So yesterday I came in, I was crying.

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I was getting feedback for the show. It was a

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: little cranky with the callers. Yesterday I got no sleep.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I got no sleep. So yesterday last night, I'm in

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: bed at nine and I didn't get up till eight

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: this morning. So I got I got eleven solid hours.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: You won't be as cranky, is there what you're saying?

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee that, because you know, we're we're working

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: with a thirty seven to five loss, which is hard

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: to take for everybody. So yeah, the people call in

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: vent to us. I didn't. Again, I kind of expected

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: that we vent to each other usually before the show. YEP,

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: getting out of our system, you know, But today I

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: like to where we're headed today though. We've got a

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: couple of good guests coming in and we also have

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll out, which I haven't even seen actually

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: on I haven't even looked at it yet, but it's

47
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: it's a good one. I like it because this is

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: a Monday night week which is always you know, good,

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's always a good little curveball

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: to throw fan bases, and and the team is good,

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: and your team's on Monday Night, it is, you know,

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: to be a national standalone game. And you know, the

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Bills haven't haven't done that well of late, but I

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: don't know, I have some really good Monday Night memories. Yeah,

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: and that's what I want to tap into with you today.

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm your Monday Night memories. And look, we know things

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: that are not going well for the Bills right now.

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: A couple of losses in a row, five losses in

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: their first seven, some bad scores, you know, some bad

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: margins of defeat. But I do think and I was

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: talking I a friend of mine from Boston did a

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: radio interview with me yesterday and he's, boy, is it

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: going to be ugly? The fan's gonna be down on

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the Bills Monday. And they said, you know what, I

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: don't think so I know this fan base. They they'll

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: people will be fired up by Monday night at eight fifteen, right.

67
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: People will be first of all, they'll be well served

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Secondly, they'll be ready to go.

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: They'll be ready to hopefully, you know, they'll be praying

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: and hoping and wishing for a miracle Bills upset win

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: over the Patriots. Now, it looks unlikely everybody would agree

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: to that, but I think Bills fans are smart enough

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to know that anything happens in this league. And we'll see.

74
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: And I look forward to the atmosphere on Monday night.

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: It's almost the point where I kind of expect the

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans to show off. You know, well, yeah, I

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: mean they show up. They show up for games when

78
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: when other fan bases don't. I mean, you've got teams,

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the built there were there. They're famous

80
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: for loving a team that you know, in the past

81
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: decade and a half hasn't played so well. They got

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: a huge gift last year with a playoff layoff birth

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: going down, and uh showed up huge in Jacksonville. I

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: think people, I think people around the country expect, you know,

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the fan base to show up in a big way

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: on this Monday night despite the fact that I don't.

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't. You'll be hard pressed. You know how they

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: always have this in these uh used to be in

89
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the USA today when newspapers were a thing, and now

90
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: it's on all the websites and all the experts picking.

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: They always have the logo of the team. You know,

92
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna look it's gonna be Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots,

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Patriots across the board and there there nobody's gonna pick

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: the Bills to win. I think Bills fans kind of

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: thrive on that. I know teams do. Used to say,

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: never bet on the home underdog on a Monday night game.

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Never bet never bet against them, against them, You never

98
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: bet against the team is a underdog on a Monday

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: night game, home home home. Doogh. We'll see, we'll see.

100
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: It's a big test. The Patriots are playing really well,

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: right yeah, sure, and the builds are not playing well

102
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: and they're not so we got a good show. We

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: when the Bill the Browns beat the Bills twenty nine,

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,960

127
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: night November seventeen, two thousand and eight. So ten years

128
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: since the last Monday night football game in Orchard Park.

129
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: The Bills have about forty one Monday night games. I

130
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: think forty two Monday night games overall. But we want

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: to know for you about the home games. There have

132
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: been home games here, and we want to know what's

133
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: your most memorable home Monday night football game for the Bills.

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: What do you think? There's there's several to choose from

135
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty the number to call

136
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

137
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,240

Speaker 1: well give us a call your your favorite, your most

139
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: memorable Monday Night game. We were gonna go some some choices,

140
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: but there's you know, forty two different choices, so we

141
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: decided not to just made an open ended question. We'll

142
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: say now you have to Now you have people have

143
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: to actually call they can't just click okay, so inconvenient.

144
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: That is so inconvenient is they're actually gonna have to

145
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: call us or tweet at us to get us their opinion.

146
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of memories, obviously, from the most

147
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: of my memories depend any choices up. We're right. So

148
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, the ones I played in, and

149
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the ones I remember playing in were

150
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: away games. Um, when you're a really good team and

151
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: teams want to see an it's like the Patriots now,

152
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: they send them on the road and play a lot

153
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: of their their night games, particularly Monday night games on

154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: the road, because they want to see another team have

155
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: a better chance at you know, knocking them off. It

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: used to be the way it was for the teams

157
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I played on as well. We played a lot some

158
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: Monday night games on the road. We had a Jets

159
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: game on a Halloween It's about this time of the year,

160
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: us on the road in the in the Meadowlands Stadium,

161
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, there's like twenty stories to go along

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: with that game. I mean it was it was like

163
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: one of those games a holiday. So it was Halloween

164
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: and they had it was Painters Cap night in the

165
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: stadium and there ended up at the end of the

166
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: game and we were lumping them up bad. There was

167
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: a runaway win. There was a bonfire of the giveaway

168
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: hats that they had given away that night. Somebody lit

169
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: a big pile of them on fire up in the

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: top top road stands. And then they had a big

171
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: five foot pumpkin. In the same game, they had a

172
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: five foot pumpkin blown up and people were batting it

173
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: around the stands. It got knocked out onto the field.

174
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: The uniform cop took it, took it out in the tunnel,

175
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and that was the biggest boo they got all night.

176
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they booed him bad. So then the guy

177
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: went down. The same cop went into the tunnel and

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: pulled that pumpkin back out and threw it back into

179
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: the stands and let him start batting it around again.

180
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: So that happened. Then there was another delay during the

181
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: game where I witnessed and you know, you see fights

182
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, yeah, in games and everything. This was a

183
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: fight in the stands where and it was you know,

184
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: it's one of those games where people were kind of

185
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: rung up because you know your team's losing and stuff,

186
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: and it is a Monday night games. So these guys

187
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: that we were down and it was back in the

188
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: old days of the old time replay, and there was

189
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: a catch where the guy caught the return and it

190
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: looked like he stepped in or out of bounds when

191
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: he caught it and took off running. So they were

192
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: going back to replay it to see if he actually

193
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: did step out of bounds, and there was a big delay,

194
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: it's like an eight minute delay. So we're standing down

195
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: there as the Jets teams and our guys were standing

196
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: down in the corner of the field. And sure enough

197
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: that we're sitting there, and there was a group of

198
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: guys sitting right in the front row in the corner,

199
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: and you know, and the old Giant statium and even

200
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: in MetLife now they've got that by design. The owners

201
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: of the Giants wanted it. They raised the seats up

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, like six or seven feet off the ground.

203
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: It's a high first row. There's a big wall there.

204
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: So they're sitting there in the front row and there's

205
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: four guys sitting in the front row and next to

206
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: them or four other guys, and they're all kind of

207
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: rung up a little bit and the two guys from

208
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: either group that were sitting next to each other started bickering,

209
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and a big melee breaks out, and I mean a

210
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: big fight right in the front row. And it was

211
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: so big that it was because the players were actually

212
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: watching the stands instead of the stands watching the field, right,

213
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: So the whole thing stopped. All of us on the field.

214
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: We're sitting there looking up into the stands watching this

215
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: huge melee, like I was elbow and guys like go, hey,

216
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: look at that, look at you. And the guy is like,

217
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: oh my god. We're sitting there laughing. And they fought,

218
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: and because it was so late in the game, security

219
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: was like nowhere, they were on a coffee break or something.

220
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Nobody came to try and break that thing up. They

221
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: just kept going and after them. Literally, after like three

222
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: or four minutes of this melee, they got tired of

223
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: fighting in the stands and everybody just kind of sat

224
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: back down, you know, put their coats back on, straightened

225
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: their collars, sat down, and picked their beers back up,

226
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: and then the game went on again. It was unbelievable.

227
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of supernatural things that happened that night

228
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: that that's my most memorable Monday night game. Not at home,

229
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: though I was at home. We never had a Monday

230
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: night football Oh no, that's not true, and that's not true.

231
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety one, Jim Kelly. We're playing the Bengals. Jim

232
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: throws three first quarter interceptions, a couple of them were

233
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: like red zones, and we're thinking, Wow, this is gonna

234
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: be a long night. And he ends up. Kelly ends

235
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: up throwing five tds. We've been ended up beating him

236
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: like thirty five to sixteen or something, and Jim's like,

237
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: has this game. That's where I first started telling him,

238
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: I go, just I go. Jim just keeps throwing it.

239
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: It don't matter if three through three first quarter interceptions

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: and ended up with five tds on the night, that's

241
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: pretty The Bills won and we won, and we won.

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: All right. There's a couple. It might be my only

243
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night football home memory. Ever, there's a couple of

244
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: home games that are remember bl I note to Bills

245
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: fans of a certain vintage. The first one ever home

246
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Monday night game here in Orchard Park, October twenty ninth,

247
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. Yeah it happened, Steve. It was forty

248
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: five years ago, October twenty nine, the same day to

249
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: the day, years to the day, Yes of the first

250
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: ever Monday night football game in Buffalo. Wow, the Bills

251
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs twenty three to fourteen. You know Howard

252
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Cosell down, Meredith, Frank Gifford. I believe it was Frank.

253
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: It might have been Keith Jackson at the rich Stadium

254
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: then Rich Stadium A twenty three to fourteen Bills. When

255
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: I was in high school watching the game. I remember

256
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I remember doing homework watching the game, feeling.

257
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I didn't go to a ton of games back to

258
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: end at eight sixteen, but I went to four or

259
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: five home games a year. Did not go to that one,

260
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, the first ever Monday night game.

261
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: I would put that up there as among the most memorable. Yeah,

262
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: and then, uh, there's been forty two, there's one I

263
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: was in college, doctor No, at home, there's been fifteen

264
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: or sixty nine, get a number on that. At nineteen

265
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: seventy five, I'm in college watching the Giants and the

266
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: Bills on a Monday night game. So it was only

267
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: the third Monday night game here in nineteen seventy five,

268
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the game, watching on TV down to College,

269
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: a Bills fan decides to grab ahold of the guy

270
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: wire which went across right across the stadium. Are you

271
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: sure it's still there? I don't know if it was there.

272
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: It might have been there to support the kicking net

273
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: for the kicking. That's still there. Are you sure? Get

274
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: put a live shot up of the stadium again? Well?

275
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Whatever it was. A Bills fan decided to grab that

276
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: wire and crawl across the stadium. He didn't make it,

277
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: he didn't fall, he didn't make it. I guess it's

278
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: still there. I can't think it's still there. Man. He

279
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: ran about third of the way across and then came

280
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: back and the game stopped for a while, and the

281
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: TV cameras were focused on him. It was bizarre. It

282
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: wasn't a great game the Giants beat the Bills seventeen fourteen,

283
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: but it was memorable for that. And there's one more

284
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: recent which is Buffalo Loss, which I know sticks with

285
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people. October of two thousand and seven,

286
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: and I broadcast this game. The Cowboys beat the Bills

287
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty four, and the Bills what had

288
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: three takeaways in that game, and the Cowboys still came

289
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: back and beat him. There were a tone I think

290
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: that still came back and beat him, or the Cowboys

291
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: came back and beat him, and they made a field

292
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: goal twice, a long range field goal twice to beat him.

293
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Twenty five twenty four some of the more memorable Monday

294
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: night football games at home. That's why you want to

299
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Hope you having a good day.

300
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to seventy four and we

301
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: played the Raiders here and there was we were the

302
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: only team to beat them for many many years on

303
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: a Monday night because they were they were these for

304
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: their glory years and they were especially tough on Monday nights.

305
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: And a mad Rashot had a very big game that day,

306
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: and Joe Ferguson was on fire. He was a great

307
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: passer back in the day and very underrated in my opinion.

308
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: I always thought Fergie had a great arm and he's

309
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: a very durable and uh yeah, I think I looked

310
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: that game up, Dan. I think that was a Thursday

311
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: night game, right, wouldn't think they played Thursday night games back? Yeah,

312
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: they did for a while there. I looked up that

313
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: game because I recall a game. Well, maybe we're talking

314
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: about a different game. I recall a game. I don't

315
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: think we are. I recall a game on a Thursday

316
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: night in the early nineteen eighties, and it was the

317
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Bills and the Raiders. And I looked and I didn't

318
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: see any Raiders games at Buffalo during that era. I

319
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: think that was. And I went back and looked at

320
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: it was a Thursday night game that I think is

321
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: one of your first way back in the seventies eighties.

322
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: I think it was seventy four. I'm almost sure of it,

323
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: because all right, I got one. Maybe you're right. September

324
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: seventy four, Bills beat the Raiders twenty one twenty at

325
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: then Ralph Wilson Stadium. Is that the one rich stadium?

326
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Feel good at stadium? My memories still that okay, but

327
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: um but the thing about that game was we had

328
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: the juice back then, OJ and uh as I recall

329
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: he was banged up and he wasn't even playing that

330
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: game and he might have got here during the game.

331
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: And Rashad had a tremendous game. He got I think

332
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and uh, like I said, the Raiders were

333
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: tremendous team back then. They were. They were better than

334
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. If Bill were they were on the rise

335
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: because O J was hitting his glory years. But it

336
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: was extremely exciting. The crowd was tremendous. And yeah, here's

337
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: what threw me off when wasn't even on the Bills

338
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: and oh yeah he was. I'm sorry he was seventy four.

339
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: That was the opener though that I remember watching that

340
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: game at college. That was the opener, right, well that

341
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: I am not sure. I mean, I'm looking at September sixteenth, yeah,

342
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and uh, well but at trivia. Do you remember what

343
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: his real name was is before he changed Morris Morris?

344
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Who was his last name? Who close? What was it? Who?

345
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: What's the question of Ubby um more? Bobby mooreby more

346
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: because he is with the Cardinals. And then he changed

347
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: his name to a mad Rashad uh before he came

348
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: to the Bills. Yeah, Bobby Moore, there you go, because

349
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: I think he was a running back in college and

350
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: they switched him to a wide receiver. There you go. Great.

351
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: He was a great athlete. He was a good player.

352
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Thanks very much for your call. I actually saw him.

353
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: I saw a mad Rashot hosting the Basketball Hall of

354
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: Fame induction ceremony the other day. He still looks good.

355
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: He's still a heck of a broadcaster. Yeah, here's a

356
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: call from Justin and Syracuse. Justin, you got a favorite

357
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: Monday night home game for the Bills. Yeah, So my

358
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: dad went to his first Bills game on Monday night,

359
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: was against Washington. I'll never forget it because he didn't

360
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: bring me and he didn't tell me that he was going.

361
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: So I got the gist that he might have went

362
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. So he went to Buffalo, So I found out.

363
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: So he snuck out. What's that he snuck out without you? Oh,

367
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: around the house wondering where he was. So he found out.

368
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: I found out where he was, and then, uh so

369
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: I got pretty mad. So he got out of his

370
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: van when he got back from Buffalo and he had

371
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,680

439
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: night football game in Bill's history? Yeah, I don't know

440
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: if it was mentioned yet or not, because it's my lunchbreak,

441
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: but the greatest game I ever saw him Monday night

442
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: for the Bills at home was against the Rams. I

443
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: think eighty nine. Yeah, I believe it was Frank Rich. Yeah,

444
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: because Kelly was hurt, right, I think. I think it's

445
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: the game where Flipper Anderson had like three thousand yards

446
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: receiving and a Ram late and I remember us getting

447
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: down to the goal line. I you know, I'm going

448
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: buy a memory here and at the last second, me

449
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: in our appointing to Andrew Reid goal. Look. Look, I

450
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: think it was reading look he's going he got And

451
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: that was I believe Frank reg first start ever and

452
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: he just it was just he had a pension for

453
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: being part of some of our greatest games. Ye, and

454
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: I just that that game to me was like incredible

455
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: just to watch the we were down, we came back,

456
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: they took the lead again and was at the Flipper

457
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Anderson three yard receiving game. I don't think I don't

458
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: think so. Uh, I really don't think so. I think

459
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: that I think that was a different game. But it

460
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: might have been. It might have been, but that was

461
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: a game where right Frank through a little slant pass

462
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: the last play of the game and regulation to Andre

463
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: he's right on the goal line and forced his way in. Um.

464
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: It was. It really was a great game. It was

465
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: very hard fought, I know, and they took him down

466
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: and you know we're showing some of the highlights now

467
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: on msg UM, but it was, Yeah, Jim was heard.

468
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: That was like the first time when UM, I think

469
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: that at that point was when Frank Reich really solidified

470
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: himself as the backup to Jim because you know, Gail

471
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: Gilbert was on that team and there's the game winning

472
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: play right there. Flipper Anderson was not on that team. Yeah,

473
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: that was that was a different game. I didn't think

474
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: Flipper was on that team. You know, what I was

475
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: thinking about this that game the other day, and in

476
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: fact I wanted to put it on our choices on

477
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, which does not exist, but um, it's

478
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: a Twitter question. If it weren't for the comeback game,

479
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: that would have been Frank Raik's most memorable game with

480
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, I think, and the callers right, he was,

481
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: he was a backup. I believe that was his first

482
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: NFL start and he leads him from behind and the

483
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: Bills beat the Raams twenty three to twenty on that

484
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: play that I'd very retouchdown if it weren't for the comeback,

485
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: which is a pretty good thing that happened too. Um,

486
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: that would have been the most memorable game for Frankreik. Yeah,

487
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: and it was. It was. It was an important game

488
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: as well because that was was in win eighty nine.

489
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Eighty nine. Yeah, see, that was a game. That was

490
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: the year when the Bills were struggling and they were

491
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: emotion they were it was a it was a very

492
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: bad locker room. It was at times it was even toxic,

493
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: and uh, they were going through some real growing pains.

494
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: They had gone twelve and four and eighty eight came

495
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: back in eighty nine and they had some it was

496
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: just a bad chemistry on that team. They did. That

497
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: team did actually just make it into the playoffs, and

498
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: that's the year that they lost on in the in

499
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland on the on the Ronnie Harmon catch in the

500
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone. That was one of the

501
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: great all time games I ever played in that that

502
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland playoff game when Jim Kelly and Bernie Kozar and

503
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: yeah and U Marty Schottenheimer and and Marv Levy and

504
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: all these guys were playing. That was a great game.

505
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: That was a really it's Mike and I wanted with

506
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: a memorable game. Mike, O ahead, you're on the air

507
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: with us, Hey, how you guys doing. I wanted to

508
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: talk more about that Cowboys game y Freedom that we lost. Um,

509
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: I believe Leotis brought the ball out of the ends

510
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: on and cost it up. No, that was that was

511
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: That was in New England. That was a different game. Okay,

512
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: that was just for some reason, that game stuck in

513
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: my mind like that was the one day that I

514
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: was ashamed to be a Bills fan because I believe

515
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: they some of the fans Vandalize's house after that. I've

516
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: just now, yeah, that was a game at New England,

517
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: the opener in New England. And yes, some fans vandalized

518
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: his lawn. It was not good. Leota's not a good situation.

519
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: Monday night football season opener, I believe. All right, thanks

534

Speaker 1: How are you We're okay? We miss you. You're you're

535
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: staying away until the Bills turn it aroun, is that

536
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: what's going on here? I think so hopefully. Yeah, yeah,

537
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: we're hoping so too. Right, do you have any thoughts?

538
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: And he takes on the Bills their current status and

539
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: what you've you've observed going on up here? Kim, what

540
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: do you think? Well, my sense from a distance, uh,

541
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: and the last time I was there full disclosure to

542
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: training camp, right would be you know, a lot of

543
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: this is about the development of a quarterback who unfortunately

544
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: is injured. You know, obviously I'm hoping the best for

545
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills in that regard, hopefully gets

546
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: on the field again this season. All that all that

547
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: stuff that could be good stuff obviously for the Bills. Um,

548
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: so right now to me, you know that that's been

549
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: interrupted a little bit. Um. It doesn't mean that other

550
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: areas of the team can't work to get better, but um,

551
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, I you know it's going to be a

552
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: process or a word that you know, fans, I think

553
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: at tieness process or you know, the idea that things

554
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: are going to take a while ish. And I'm close

555
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: proximity wise to both the Jets and Giants, and they're

556
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: both in the middle of the process sort of different

557
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: reasons right now. So, Um, but but I I get

558
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: a kick out of the Bills. I like them. Um,

559
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: you guys know, I've I've loved their secondary as has

560
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: you know, kind of everyone who knows anything about the NFL.

561
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: So I always hope for the best. You know that

562
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen injury obviously is a bomber. What is the

563
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: talking about your Jets and Giants, who you're in close

564
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: proximity with. What's the aftermath of the Giants loss to

565
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Yeah, I'm new woman sixty for the second

566
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: consecutive season. That's almost hard to do in this league. Um,

567
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: it's a team that has some really good pieces and

568
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: can't get it right. I thought. Now, I watched last

569
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: night game with TV. Um, I thought the Giants offensive

570
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: line was as incompetent in the first half as five

571
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: players to be. To be honest with you, Um, you

572
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: had lineman standing up a couple of yards passed the

573
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: line after plays were over, not engaged at all with anyone,

574
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: including in the end zone. When taken mc barkley couldn't

575
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: find an inch. Um. It was a it was a

576
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: It's a confound situation because you could say, well, it

577
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: was the same thing last year. Yes, it was the

578
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: same results in the same products last year, but all

579
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: five linemen are different at this point. So now you're

580
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: talking about ten plus linemen because there were some injuries

581
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: that some guys built in, but you're talking about ten

582
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: plus offensive linemen who can't get it together for the Giants.

583
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Now is back to back seasons. It is, It's almost well,

584
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: it is outrageous. It's outrageous. I've always been an Eli

585
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Manning fan, Kim, and I've heard the you know, the

586
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: drumbeat of criticism the last several years. This is the

587
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: first time I've thought, yeah, you know what I see it.

588
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: Eli probably doesn't have it anymore. Where do the Giants

589
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: go with him from here? I mean the hard time

590
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: even sitting him on the bench last year, and the

591
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: trade deadline is now a week away. Is there any

592
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: chance at all that they might try to send them

593
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: packing and maximize their assets for next year's draft. I've

594
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: seen that of a couple of plashes. Just to make

595
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: one thing clear, Eli Manning has a no trade clause. Okay,

596
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: so the Giants and any other team in the league,

597
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: can you know, quote want or think or try to

598
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: do anything in the world. This would come down to

599
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, who's given no hint along the way that

600
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: he wants to do anything but be a New York Giant. Yeah,

601
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: so this is this would all be in Eli's hands,

602
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: assuming that a team would want, you know, to take

603
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: him on and the salary and everything else. Um, you know,

604
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: they have Kyle alettas from Richmond, who's essentially their backup.

605
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Canny is there, just you know it's during

606
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: a game. Eli, I hurt Shermer would rather go as

607
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: a veteran to fill in the time At this point,

608
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it matters, but that was his rason

609
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. But Kyle Aletta would

610
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: be the guy that you'd want to see if you'd

611
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: want to see anyone. He's a fourth round pick rookie. Um.

612
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think that this idea that they were

613
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: going to give it a whirl, uh and thought they

614
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: could be competitive with Manning and his weapons. This season

615
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: on paper made sent the product has been something different,

616
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: and he doesn't deserve all the blame. There's plenty of

617
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: blame to go around. I did think it was pretty

618
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: obvious there were some throws last night, as there have

619
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: been flows in other games, and he simply has to

620
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: make you hop Odell doesn't catch every single hat. I

621
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: understand that. But you've got to give your guys. Shepherd,

622
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: Beckham Ingram now that he's back, and Saquon in the

623
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: past game has been, you know, very reliable. You've got

624
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: to give your guys a chance. Well, speaking of being

625
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, blamed, the Giants were questioned, you know after

626
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: they tried a two point conversion last night, I mean,

627
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: how is Shermer handling all of the drama that's been

628
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: going on this season? And how much really is he

629
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: to blame for any of it? Well, I mean, you know,

630
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: I think the head coach always bears a lot of it,

631
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: right Steve. I mean that's just by nature. He's a

632
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: head coach. That's the GM factor in shore can ownership

633
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: factor and George is the players in the locker room

634
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: factor in absolutely But you know, a lot of it

635
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: twalls on the head coach, no matter who he is.

636
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, the two points, you know, Doug Peterson did it.

637
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: I was in Philadelphia that day covering the Vikings Eagles game.

638
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: At the time, I thought it was crazy. Then you

639
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: hear the analytics way, the analytics folks way in and

640
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: they love it and it works and that's great. So

641
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: here's the deal with analytics. It's like a shift in baseball.

642
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: When it works, he said, that is so smart position,

643
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: good move. When it doesn't, and the guy hits as

644
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: little roller down the third base line and ends up

645
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: on first base, you're saying, why do they shift? I

646
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: hate the ship. It didn't worth last night, so it's

647
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: a bad decision. It works for Doug Peterson Sol Regina again.

648
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: I have one more Giants question for you, and that's

649
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: with Odell Beckham, who you know, got the huge deal,

650
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: and you'd think at some level Odell Beckham would act

651
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: like a leader, act like a guy that you know

652
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: is committed to the franchise. And he's not even right.

653
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: Even as difficult as this season has been, I'm sure

654
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: they expect more leadership ability from Odell Beckham with the

655
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: financial commitment they've made. Well she h, I'm always stucked

656
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: with some of this. I wind up then O'Dell's biggest defender,

657
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: which I don't mind that role. I know him very well.

658
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how many leaders at receiver we've really

659
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: looked at over the years. I don't know that the

660
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: great ones. You know, you wanna tell me Hind's word

661
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: with a leader in part because you know, he was

662
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: just such a physical guy at that position for the Steelers.

663
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: I would absolutely buy that. Larry Fitzgerald, Yeah, yeah, Larry,

664
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald was basically a Citizen of the Year, right.

665
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a great guy. I understand that,

666
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: But I mean, are you gonna name ten more? You know,

667
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, it's difficult for that position.

668
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: So what I think what we do with Beckham is

669
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: the bar is always changing. He makes the great ridiculous catch,

670
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: so people say, people around here say, oh god, you

671
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: know he's lucky, and now we're gonna hear about this

672
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: catch forever. He doesn't make a catch and people say,

673
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: see he drops everything, he's not worth it. And then

674
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, he has a game like last night where

675
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: he was a game changer at points, but probably not enough.

676
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: But we can't throw the ball to himself and he

677
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: should have crossed the ball for the two point conversion.

678
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: And he said that after the game and said that

679
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: he'll think about that for a long time. So you

680
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: know Beckham is a complex figure. He brings some of

681
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: it on himself, which I have told him direct everything

682
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: I say about him, I've already told him for the

683
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: most part, but I've told him that directly. He brings

684
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot of this on himself. He understands that he

685
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: is a huge figure in a town that loves then

686
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: heyes huge figures in sports. I saw it with Alex Rodriguez.

687
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it now with Beckham. But the numbers say

688
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: he is off for the best start ever, and that

689
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: is something that constantly gets lost. He is off too

690
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: with a bad team, a bad team. During his time

691
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: with the Giants, he is putting up numbers that are

692
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: unparalleled in the NFL. At some point that has to

693
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: count for something, and it's the terms of leader. His

694
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: teammates love him, so to me, that matters in terms

695
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: of when you talk about leadership, which I think can

696
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: come in all different forms. Yeah, I gotta agree with you.

697
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: And that's the acid test for me, is when the

698
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: guy really if his teammates love him, that says it all.

699
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Because you can't hide who you are in the locker

700
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: room they see every day. If your teammates are behind you,

701
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: then you know you're doing something right on and off

702
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: the field. I wanted to switch topics a little bit

703
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 1: and ask you a little bit about the Jets. They're

704
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: starting to get bogged down with some injuries on the outside,

705
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: and you know how good is Sam Darnald gonna be

706
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: the rest of this year if the team kind of

707
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: falls apart around him. Well, Steve, you know, I think

708
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: Sunday was the coldest game he's ever played. In the

709
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: New York Post, Brian Costello had a note going into

710
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: the game, which I credited him for on NFL Network Sunday,

711
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: the coldest game for Darnald at USC was at Utah

712
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: mid forties. Lucky dog, right, we're the freezing temperature to

713
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: that in the falling into the winner. So I did

714
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: think that on Sunday the elements bothered him. Of course

715
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Darnald said, I think didn't because anyone after a game

716
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: is going to say the elements did not bother him,

717
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: except perhaps a kicker kicks goes, you know, thirty miles

718
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: to the left or right. But Donald didn't blame the

719
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: elements at all. I think that this season a little

720
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: bit like Buffalo and a couple of other teams in

721
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: the league is about their rookie quarterback. He's developing nicely. Listen,

722
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: they're last in the NFL in red zone, so they're

723
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: not getting it done at big times, but he does

724
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: show a lot. I talk to someone leading up to

725
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings Jets game and he said that we watch

726
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: his tape and particularly Donald on the Move. He caught

727
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: himself saying, Wow, that was a great throw. And this

728
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: was someone who was going to face Donald, you know,

729
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: on the field. So he gets a lot of compliments

730
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: in terms of his play and his poise. And you

731
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: mentioned some of the injuries, Steve. The Jets are gonna

732
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: have some decisions to make about some guys in Colney

733
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: Quincy and learn Law, who is a valuable player and

734
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: a valuable target for the Jets and for Donald, but

735
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: guys who just can't stay on the field. So they'll

736
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of money this off season and they'll

737
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of decisions to make this off season.

738
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Signed today Richard and Matthews a Farmer Titan's wide receiver.

739
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: That's that's got to be a good pick pick up

740
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: for them. Huh yeah, I mean I get yeah, yeah,

741
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: I would think so, you know, again, Steve would would

742
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: talk better than I about the you know, kind of

743
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: mid season acquisition and how much catching up he has

744
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 1: to do. But they had to sign Summer the cut

745
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: crier because of his injury, and Moon One, as far

746
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: as I know, is still out. So yeah, they didn't

747
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: need help them. Well. Also, coming down about the Jets,

748
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: it's interesting to think about you know, they were they

749
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: were they're being more competitive with a rookie quarterback. They

750
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: get this guy or Richard Matthews in there, and I

751
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: don't think it's it's unlikely that you know, the guy

752
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: might play this week. I mean, if they signed him today,

753
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: he'll get in fact, past his physical, they'll get him

754
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: acclimated to give him half a dozen or ten plays.

755
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: And in the way the Jets are playing, if if

756
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: they can get one or two plays out of the guy,

757
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: that may be the difference in some of these football games.

758
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: And I know they're you know, they got beat thirty

759
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: seven seventeen. You know it's the Vikings, but you know

760
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: there's a couple of picks in there and a couple

761
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: of you know, ricochet interceptions that kind of conspired to

762
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: do them in. So I think one guy maybe really

763
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: just a little bit of an adrenaline shot for a

764
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: Jets office that could use it. Yeah, it could be,

765
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: Absolutely could be. They go to the Bears this week.

766
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: You think that's not an easy game in Chicago, perhaps weather,

767
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: certainly that their defense, you know, Trabisky against Darnold. Interesting

768
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: matchup there. I know they're a draft apart, but yeah,

769
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: I think that the Jets are looking for something to

770
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: help in the meantime. They just finished a three game

771
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: homestand they would have loved, obviously to sweep it. They

772
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: finished two and one, and the schedule does get a

773
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: little bit tougher. They still up to with the Patriots remaining.

774
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: Obviously you guys will see them as well. So yeah,

775
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: it is interesting again to me this season and Todd

776
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: Bowls and everything else. It's all wrapped up in Darnald's development,

777
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe a guy like Matthews can contribute

778
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: exactly how you laid out. See can any Bills games

779
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: in your future? November eleventh, Bills? The Jets are you

780
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: making that one? What do you What do you got planned? Yeah,

876
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: Grand Island. Hi, Thomas, go ahead, you're on the air

877
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: with us. Hi, guys, I want a piggyback off a

878
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: year picks Murph. I was in the service in seventy

879
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: three and that game, it was kind of a treat.

880
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: First of all, I was watching it with my buddy

881
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: from Kansas City, but also it was the first shot

882
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: I had it looking at the I think it was

883
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: the first year of rich Stadium. Yeah seventy three, sure, yeah, yeah,

884
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: So I got to see the new stadium and I

885
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: got to see a good victory. And then the other

886
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: game was I was at that game where the guy

887
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: crawled out on the wire. I was right belong. It

888
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: took him so long. We were worried because he ran

889
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: out of gas. Yeah right, you know, he was going

890
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: to be able to make it back up there, and

891
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: he got closed up where the security could grab him.

892
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: But that's why it took so long to get gone again,

893
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: because he just couldn't get back there himself. He was

894
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: up there, like the game stopped right for like fifteen

895
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: minutes or so, right when he was up there. Yeah,

896
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: it took I mean he hit sometimes, he just wasn't

897
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: moving right, you know, just getting ready to oh, but

898
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: he finally made it back. So but I also want

899
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to Kim Jones. I never

900
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: heard her before. Terrific analysts, and you know, I hope

901
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: she calls back, and it was very enjoyable. So there's

902
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: always been this rumor going around about the guy that

903
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: went out on the wire, who's probably still with us.

904
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: He was elected to Congress, and that's a good one.

905
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: But there was always the thing that because he did that,

906
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night football didn't come back for ten years. Then

907
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: they didn't get a home game in Buffalo for a

908
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: long time after that, and one of the reasons they

909
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: said was I was probably that guy that went out

910
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: on the wire. I don't know if that was the

911
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: truth or whether it was just TV legend. Yeah. Actually

912
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: Monday football was back the following year. Yeah, okay, so

913
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: there you go. So that's good legend. That's good. There

914
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: was a long stretch and I came across this from

915
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: September of ninety four, the Bills did not play another

916
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: home Monday night football game until October of seven. Thirteen

917
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: years without a Monday night home game. That's a long stretch. Yeah,

918
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen years and they've only had two. They

919
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: haven't had one since oh eight now at home, so

920
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: that's eleven years this current stretch. Yeah, we'll see. Hey,

Speaker 1: Defensive n Tren Murphy as a knee injury. His status

933
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: is now week to week. Josh Allen's a week to

934
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: week with his elbow injury. That means Derek Anderson will

935
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: start against the Patriots on Monday Night. Allen listed as

936
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: week to week. He heard his elbow in the lass

937
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: at Houston back on October fourteenth. Anderson made his first

938
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: start in nearly two years on Sunday after he came

939
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,120

942
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: hosts of Patriots Primetime Monday night at eight fifteen. Word

943
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: from Denver. Bronco's backup quarterback Chad Kelly, the Western New

944
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: York native, was arrested early this morning. Englewood, Colorado police

945
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: say he illegally entered at home and was chased out

946
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: by a resident. Taken into custody without incident, and he

947
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: is charged with first degree criminal trespass. Some trades already

948
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL a week ahead of next week's trade deadline,

949
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: The New York Jets are taking a shot at wide

950
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: receiver Rishard Matthews for Shad Matthews. Rather, he forced his

951
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: way at a Tennessee earlier this season. He wasn't happy

952
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: with his playing time there. He's played three games this year,

953
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: three catches for eleven yards. The Jets have injury issues

954
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: with Quincy None out with an ankle injury, so they

955
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: signed Rashad Matthews today. The Giants have sent former first

956
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: round pick Eli Apple to cornerback to the New Orleans Saints.

957
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans sending a twenty nineteen fourth round pick and

958
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick in twenty twenty in return. The

959
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys made a big trade yesterday. Cowboys acquired wide receiver

960
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first round pick

961
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and the Raiders announced yesterday they put

962
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: running back Marshawn Lynch on injury reserve with a groin injury.

963
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: He would be eligible to return for the Raiders Christmas

964
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: Eve game against Denver, Week sixteen World Series Game one Tonight,

965
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw goes for the Los Angeles Dodgers against another

966
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: good leftander, Chris Sale of the Red Sox. First pitch,

967
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: eight oh nine tonight. That's the update from One Bill's Drive.

968
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: John Murphy Steve Tasker in our one Buffalo studio joining

969

Speaker 1: us right now on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline, Pro

970
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: Football Talk, NBC Sports, NFL writer. He writes Football Morning

971
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: a MARKA every Monday morning. Happy to have Peter King

972
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: on for his regular Tuesday visit. Good afternoon, Peter, John

973
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve up here in Buffalo. How are you doing?

974
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: What's up, fellas? How are you? We're good. We're trying

975
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 1: to hang in after another brutal loss for the Buffalo Bills.

976
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: That was brutal. That was utterly, utterly brutal. You sound

977
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: like one of our callers yesterday. I don't know what

978
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: to I mean, I don't know what to say anymore

979
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: after that one. I mean, yeah, I think the only

980
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: go ahead. The surprising thing was that the defense got

981
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: taken to the cleaners. I thought that, you know, this

982
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: was a defense that was playing extremely well and at

983
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 1: all three levels, and then all of a sudden, Andrew

984
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: Luck and with Frank Wrych call in the place, just

985
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: took him to the woodshead. Yeah, it's hard to explain, Steve,

986
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: as you know, you were probably in a lot of

987
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: games in your life that you never ever saw coming. Now.

988
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were going to play any play

989
00:48:54,960 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: well on offense, but holy cow, the Indie Annapolis Colts

990
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: are not a great offensive team. So that was that

991
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: was a bit of a stunner, really, And I think

992
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: the one lesson to learn from all of this is

993
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: that you know, and I know the Bills thought that

994
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: they did a lot of work on their quarterback situation

995
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: this offseason. We've talked about it a few times this year,

996
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: but it's almost like you can never do enough for

997
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: your you know, for your quarterback position. You know, It's

998
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: just it's that to me when I watched that game,

999
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: I just said and looked, you can second guess all

1000
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: these decisions that they made coming into this year, and

1001
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: I would, I would understand all of the second guesses.

1002
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, it's

1003
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: a sixteen game season. You got to get ready to

1004
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: play all of them. And that really was not a

1005
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: team that was ready to play offensive football. The other day,

1006
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: when you say you can't do enough, Peter, are you

1007
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: talking about the town you would surround that quarterback with?

1008
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: Are you talking about, you know, keep signing quarterbacks? Do

1009
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: you get the right one? What do you see there? No?

1010
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: I think you know. I mean, we've talked about this

1011
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: a couple of times, John, But in my opinion, this

1012
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: was a situation in the off season that any quarterback

1013
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: who went in there, and I don't care what their

1014
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: resume said, but unless you're going to bring in an

1015
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: absolute total surfire starting quarterback, you know, unless you're unless

1016
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: you're signing Kirk Cousins, let's say, you know, unless you

1017
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: do that. If you don't, unless you bring in one

1018
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: of those guys, honestly, you know, all bets are off.

1019
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: There's no promises made, no guarantees, and that's why to me,

1020
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: I've thought, you know, all along, I understand that AJ

1021
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: McCarron was not going to be necessarily very happy or

1022
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: very cooperative if he's not the starting quarterback. I get that.

1023
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: I understand that, but that's something that needed to be

1024
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: established right from the beginning. Look, there's no guarantee what

1025
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: happens with this job because we don't know the best

1026
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: guy is going to play. And you know, if that

1027
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: had been said in very sort of categorical terms, then

1028
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure it would have come to

1029
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: what it came to. But clearly, this is a this

1030
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: is a team that had to make some decisions at

1031
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: quarterback that nobody saw coming. And obviously nobody saw a

1032
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: guy coming off the street in Week seven and starting

1033
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: for a team that seemed to have three quarterbacks that

1034
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: would have a good chance to play this year. So

1035
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: just it's a weird year, an unfortunate year, but I

1036
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: think a year where the Bills probably have learned some

1037
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: lessons from this. Yeah, I mean, do you are you?

1038
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a couple of calls on a

1039
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: right people are going back to it. Do you really

1040
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: think a J. McCarron would have been the answer yesterday

1041
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: or month Sunday? He would have been a better answer

1042
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: Sunday Derek Anderson was coming into the coming onto the

1043
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: team having been there for what two weeks? You know,

1044
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: if that, I mean, if if AJ McCarron as bad

1045
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: as he played in the offseason or in the in

1046
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: the preseason, I'd rather have a guy who knows my

1047
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: offense who's had some success in the NFL before than

1048
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't know my offense or who is

1049
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: brand new in it, who's had some success in the

1050
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: NFL before. With Peter King, Pro Football Talk, NBC Sports, Right,

1051
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: So the Football Morning in America column on Mondays for

1052
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk and NBC Sports. This week he wrote

1053
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: about a variety of topics Peter, including the Tennessee Titans

1054
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: and Mike Vrabel's two point decision. I like the quote

1055
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: you had from Bruce Arians who said you got to

1056
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: take it to overtime, but you seem to support Rabel's

1057
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: decision to go for two there. Huh. Here's the way

1058
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: I look at this. I mean, I've learned a lot

1059
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: over the last few years about the analytics and about

1060
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: the probability of making certain of of converting certain plays

1061
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: and not converting others. And I think the one thing

1062
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: I've learned John is basically to ask this question, Okay,

1063
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: why aren't we going for two here? And if we're not,

1064
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: what's the reason why? Well, I mean to me, and

1065
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: I love Bruce Arians, but Bruce arians is decision at

1066
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: the end of his decision would have been to kick

1067
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: the point, which would have been the decision of the

1068
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: vast majority I think of football people. That doesn't mean

1069
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: it's the right decision. And the only reason I say

1070
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 1: that is that you're at the one yard line. It's

1071
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: fourth the I mean, you're not fourth then, but you're

1072
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: the one yard line. And in essence, the game comes

1073
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: down to this. You know, you make it, you get

1074
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: two points, you win the game, you go home, you

1075
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: fly home nine hours and everybody's happy. If you don't

1076
00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: make it, you lose the game. And the biggest question

1077
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: to ask is this, Okay, if you go for it,

1078
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: all right, you know, and obviously it depends on what

1079
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: decision you make when you do go for it, But

1080
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: if you go for it, all right, you have to

1081
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: factor in a lot of things. How good is the

1082
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: defense you're playing against, and it was a good defense,

1083
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: What kind of play could you make going into that?

1084
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: You know? Would you you know? To me, I liked

1085
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: the decision. I didn't like the call. I don't like.

1086
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't like you know, basically, Marcus Mariot, who is

1087
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: not the most accurate quarterback in the league, throwing to

1088
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: a covered receiver on a crossing route at the back

1089
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: of the end zone. What I like is spreading the

1090
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: field an empty backfield and have Marcus Mario to roll

1091
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: out and either try to dive in or try to

1092
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: find somebody who's more open than his receiver in the

1093
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Was But but as I

1094
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: as I wrote, as I wrote, the fifty eight percent

1095
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: chance that you're going to make that uh, that you're

1096
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: going to make a two point play chance if you

1097
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: run it? Yeah, well no, yes, a fifty eight percent

1098
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: chance if you're running and the and the key is

1099
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: then you ask yourself this question, Okay, if if if, if,

1100
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: if Los Angeles gets the ball, if they win the

1101
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: toss to start overtime, Okay, are we even going to

1102
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: see the ball? So it's all a part of it.

1103
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: And in my opinion, I would rather take the shot

1104
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: of getting one yard to try to win and end

1105
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: the game right there that I would be of going

1106
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: for the tie and then risking and overtime. Maybe you

1107
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: don't even see the ball. Well, you know, the coaches

1108
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: have told me. I'm sure they've told you before we win,

1109
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: we have to make sure we don't lose. Is that

1110
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: kind of thinking? Is that theory out the window now

1111
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: with all the access to analytics and that kind of data.

1112
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: In my opinion, a lot of what's happening right now, John,

1113
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: really is that I think Doug Peterson is playing a

1114
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: huge role in what teams are doing right now. Last year,

1115
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: these are the decision kind of decisions that Doug Peterson

1116
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: made and nobody else did. And all season this year,

1117
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer for crying out loud last night with four

1118
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: minutes to go, they score a touchdown to make it

1119
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve. He goes for two, and everybody said,

1120
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 1: what in the world are you doing? And his theory

1121
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: was very simple, We've got to score two touchdowns down

1122
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: the stretch. We need to make one two point conversion

1123
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: to send this game into overtime if they don't score.

1124
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: So I'd rather do that because if we make the

1125
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: two point conversion on the first one then and we

1126
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, then we can win just with an

1127
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: extra point. So and again, we could argue about these

1128
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: things all day, but my only point is all this

1129
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: that teams are thinking much more progressively after looking at

1130
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: the lead of of of Doug Peterson and how well

1131
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,479
Speaker 1: it worked last year in Philadelphia. Gotcha. One of the

1132
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: things I want to ask you about, and we had

1133
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: to come on last week when we got into a

1134
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: little bit of the Chargers in the London series. And

1135
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: now the Eagles will meet the Chargers in London this week,

1136
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: which not not I'm sorry, that's not right, not the Chargers.

1137
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: The Eagles will meet the Jaguars, which looked like it

1138
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: was going to be this great game when they scheduled it.

1139
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: It was going to be this defending Super Bowl champions

1140
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: against this Jaguars team. There's the final four. Now they're

1141
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: both three and four and kind of struggling in But

1142
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: what I want to ask you about, uh, was the

1143
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: likelihood that somebody's going to be a permanent resident in London.

1144
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: One and also all the stuff that's coming about Los

1145
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: Angeles and how you and I talked about it. I'm

1146
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: trying to get to the point where I think the

1147
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: Chargers are looking at to be looking for a home

1148
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: after this ten year deal without Los Angeles is over,

1149
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: and it looks to me like it'd be London. I'm

1150
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: not sure. I know that the Chargers have a lease

1151
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, you know, I understand that. But if

1152
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: they have only sold twenty five thousand or thirty five

1153
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: thousand season tickets or something like that, if they have

1154
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: a half empty stadium every week, I think that the

1155
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: NFL and stand Cronky and deem Spanos are going to

1156
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: sit down and say, Okay, do we have some alternative

1157
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: to this. I can tell you the Rams are not

1158
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: happy that the Chargers are having relatively speaking, extremely cheap PFL. Yeah,

1159
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: they're given them. They're giving them away. They're they're giving

1160
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: them away. Basically, you know, you could get two season

1161
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: tickets and in very good seating areas in the in

1162
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: the upper deck at a brand new three billion dollars stadium.

1163
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: You get, you get, you get, you get two excellent

1164
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: seats like it's a fifty yard line in the upper

1165
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: deck for a sixth new price. Yeah, for two thousand dollars. Basically,

1166
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: it's a fraction of what the Rams are paying. And

1167
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: so look and the PFLFE is what the Chargers are paying,

1168
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: Uh is staying cronkie, you know, basically to play in

1169
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: that stadium. So they don't care how much they raise.

1170
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: It's not their money anyway, They're just trying to get

1171
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: rid of their tickets. So anyway, I don't know, I

1172
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: think the Chargers are very much a you know, I

1173
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: think it's so early to talk about this, but I'm

1174
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: not sure the Chargers are going to be married to LA.

1175
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: We'll just have to see how they how they perform

1176
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: at the box office there. And as far as London goes, look,

1177
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna end up playing there. I

1178
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: just keep being told over and over again the market

1179
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: is going to is going to bear a team, and

1180
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: I just don't I think it's I'm not saying it's

1181
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: way too early, but I think any team that goes

1182
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: over there is going to be a team that is

1183
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: either having trouble filling its own stadium, a be having

1184
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: trouble getting a stadium build in its community. Or c

1185
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: has an owner that really has wanderlust and really wants

1186
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: a new home. So and I just think we're probably

1187
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: three years down the road for making any progress on that,

1188
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: because nothing is going to happen until the Players Association

1189
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL makes a new CBA in two twenty one,

1190
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: because part of that CBA is going to be the

1191
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: NFLPA agreeing to allow some of its membership to live

1192
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: and work over in London instead of in the United States.

1193
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: And Peter, one more question for you. In your Football

1194
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Morning in America column, you name a defensive player of

1195
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: the Week, and I think it went with the Rams

1196
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,959
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald obvious, you know, pretty good choice. I'm glad

1197
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: that you mentioned Darius Leonard, the rookie linebacker. We saw him.

1198
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: I saw him last week against the Bills. Well, he's

1199
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: an active guy who runs around and made a ton

1200
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: of plays against the Bills on Sunday. Closest thing that

1201
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: I've seen in terms of instinct, and it's amazing. A

1202
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina State player, I mean, closest thing I've seen

1203
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: to walking into the NFL as with that kind of

1204
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: instinct with Luke Keikley. But if you watch him play

1205
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: and you guys just saw him. When I watch him play,

1206
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: he always seems to have a step before you said, well,

1207
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: how did he know what was going that way? And

1208
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: that's that when you make sixteen tackles, you've got to

1209
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: have tremendous instinct. And I think right now Chris Ballard

1210
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: has done a very very good job building that team

1211
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: early on, and you know, getting Leonard in the second

1212
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: round and some of his other guys, I think, really,

1213
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I think Indianapolis is on the way to being pretty good.

1214
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I do too, Peter, thanks for this. We'll talk next week.

1215
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate it all of that. Thank you, guys. Peter King,

1216
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk, NBC Sports columnist, football writer, and you

1217
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: can catch you stuff on Monday mornings, Football Morning in

1218
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: America at Pro Football Talk, NBC Sports. Peter joined us

1219
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: on the Subway fresh Day cotline to buy Subway restaurants

1220
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: proud to be locally owned and operated. I agree. And

1221
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: we talked about the Colts a lot yesterday. Steve that

1222
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: young offensive line open up some holes. They ran for

1223
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: two hund twenty yards. They got the two young linebackers

1224
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: playing well. They have holes to fill, plenty of holes

1225
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: of Phil. They may need a running back. Actually, in fact,

1226
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I heard somebody speculat maybe leabe On Bell would be

1227
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: a fit in India. I don't know if they're up

1228
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: for that, but I don't think they can work that.

1229
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they need that, actually, but they need

1230
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: some you know, they need a few more pieces. But

1231
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cults are probably two years away from

1232
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: especially with Andrew Luck being at or near the top

1233
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: of that division. And I don't know, I don't know

1234
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: two years. I think he accelerates that process if he

1235
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: comes back and healthy and remains healthy in plays like

1236
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: he did this last week. I think they're much closer

1237
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: than two years. I think next year there'll be a

1238
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: much much better team Bills in that division. Yeah, where

1239
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: any you know, basically anybody can win. Yeah, the Bills

1240
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: turned the page and moved to Monday Night Football, and

1241
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: we want to reminisce with you a little bit about

1242
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,840

1258
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: It's been a while. Just off the top of my head,

1259
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the last Monday Night game I can even remember was

1260
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: that his heartening loss to the Cowboys. Believe they had

1261
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: a fifty six year field goal to win. Yeah, they

1262
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: did twice to do it, and disheartening was not the

1263
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: word I was using it Are you kidding me? Remember

1264
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the next day, Steve, it was a Monday night game

1265
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: and the next day off, I had to drive my

1266
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: son back to college in Syracuse, and I spent the

1267
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: whole two and a half hour drive, pounding the steering wheel.

1268
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: How did they lose that game? How did they lose

1269
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: that game? It was a terrible I was a crusher.

1270
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I was there. I was on the sidelines for that

1271
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: game for Westwood one. I think now, No, I wasn't.

1272
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I was just out and about. I was home, just

1273
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: kind of hanging out at the game, and it was

1274
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. From Bobby Shutler,

1275
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Bills versus Browns was my first game at the Ralph

1276
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Bills versus Browns another one. My first game was a

1277
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Monday night game versus the Oilers, and I loved it.

1278
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: Sat on the tunnel side about twelve rows up behind

1279
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the goalpost. I loved it. Michael Bordon Narrow Monday night

1280
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: game versus the Raiders in nineteen seventy four, Bills were

1281
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: losing thirteen to seven with a minute fifty six left.

1282
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: They won twenty one twenty. I was there sitting in

1283
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: the tunnel end zone with a when a mod Rashad

1284
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: caught the winner. We've already heard some people that remember

1285
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: that game. From JW. Socks, I was a Giants fan

1286
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: for the early part of my life. And I went

1287
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: on an excursion in nineteen seventy three to the Bills

1288
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: versus Chiefs to brand new Rich Stadium. I saw the

1289
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: field and I said to myself, Wow, this is big

1290
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: time football. Now. I've been a Bills fans ever since

1291
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: that OJ one thousand yards that day. So I'll get

1292
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: you hooked. Yeah, that'll There's a lot of a lot

1293
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: of people and I and I tell this to people

1294
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: all the time. There's been occasion when I've had groups

1295
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: where I've had a chance to show them around and

1296
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down in there and what's now

1297
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: new area. Back then it was a Rich stadiums were

1298
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: out in New Ralph Wilson. Now it's new Ara Field.

1299
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: You go down there and you can remember, particularly guys

1300
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: like me, different players from different players, different plays from

1301
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 1: different players, around different spots on that field. Because the

1302
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: field hasn't changed. It's this, I mean the surface has,

1303
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, they've resurfaced it and all that, but that

1304
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: stadium is exactly like it was when it opened. On

1305
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: the field, the walls are the same, the configuration is

1306
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the same, and you can point to spots on that

1307
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: field where all those plays happen. The highlights that you

1308
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: see having that that field has never changed, and you

1309
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: know all these places with new new stadiums really say

1310
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: that that's right. People have memories there. You got memories

1311
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,479
Speaker 1: that Cowboys game where we were sitting twenty five twenty four,

1312
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: Bills lose it. And I just went back and looked

1313
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys had six turnovers in that game. Yeah,

1314
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: and the Bills had won, so they were plus five.

1315
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: How do you lose a game where you're plus five.

1316
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I'll bet you on a league, I'll bet you that

1317
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: is the only game. I'll bet you there's less than

1318
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: a handful of games in history where you're minus five

1319
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: or plus five on the turnovers and lose. We got

1320
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: during the break. If we get into the break, we're

1321
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna go in and look at that. If we're gonna

1322
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: find that out, go to the almanac, George. They scored

1323
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: twice on interception returns, George Wilson twenty five yards. Chris

1324
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Kelsey scored on an interception return two pick six plus

1325
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: five takeaway and they lose. And these are painful remembrances.

1326
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: But with the twenty four seconds left, Tony Romo completed

1327
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: a pass to Pat Patrick Crayton that made it twenty

1328
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: four twenty two Bills on top. They went for two.

1329
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: They got it. No, they didn't get it. They went

1330
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: for two, they did not get it. So they're down

1331
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty two. They hit the fifty three year

1332
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: field goal from Nick Folk at the end to win

1333
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: at twenty five twenty four. An amazing game. Here's a

1334
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: great one great response to our question your most memorable

01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: hours in the hospital delivery room in London were spent

1340
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: listening to the game on AFN radio Armed Forces Network Radio.

1341

01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: that's a great story. Yeah, um did they put this in?

1348
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go ahead and read it from Doug.

1349
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: T has to be the Bills versus the Rams when

1350
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the out was so blitzed inside and outside the stadium

1351
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills changed their beer sales policies. I guess

1352
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: after that game. First side, walking walking into a bus

1353

01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: it was October in twelfth and like eighty one. It

1363
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: was like we just got overbeat, you know, the year

1364
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 1: before we won a division in eighty and they toured

1413
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: builds have had fifteen of them over the years. Build

1414
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: on the line from Chicago. Go ahead, Bill, you're on

1415
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: the air. How are you doing, gentlemen? So I've been

1416
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: that I think every memorable game at that stadium, and

1417
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: like others, that was at that seventy three game against

1418
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 1: Kansas City and and you've you've mentioned this this gentleman

1419
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: before over the years, But there's a guy that showed

1420
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: up at every major sporting event back then. He had

1421
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: orange hair and would stand up and hold a sign

1422
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: that's at three to sixteen. While the pleasure of sitting

1423
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: right behind him at that game, we're sitting about the

1424
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. I was maybe maybe fifteen, rose up.

1425
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: He sat right in front of me. I couldn't even

1426
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: see this field, and luckily at halftime he went and

1427
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: moved someplace else. So I think I don't know where

1428
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,560
Speaker 1: he got tickets for these events, but I'm sure you

1429
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: remember this guy. And he was all over the country,

1430
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: right John three sixteen. He was at golf tournaments, boxing, boxing, baseball, everything.

1431
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: So that was that was. And I can't remember if

1432
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: when we played Minnesota in um u Foreman was hit

1433
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: with the snowball, I don't I don't know if that

1434
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: was a that was a Saturday afternoon. I was here

1435
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: for that game Saturday. That was at that game, but

1436
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember why I was there too. They had

1437
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: to be seventy five. Is the thing about the stadium is,

1438
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: and I've been to a lot of seatings the NFL,

1439
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,799
Speaker 1: and Foxboro was built about the same time as our stadium,

1440
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: and our statium is so well built and every seat

1441
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: in that stadium is wonderfull, and and Foxborough was almost

1442
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: like a high school stadium in yeah, Harris, Yeah, yeah,

1443
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: the old Sullivan Field was. Yeah. There's a couple of

1444
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: places like that same era as this stadium in Archer

1445
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: Park that just have they have not They're not here anymore.

1446
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: They had to replace them already, which gets into the

1447
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: whole stadium debate here in Buffalo. But this place is amazing.

1448
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: It really is the fact. And it's been you know,

1449
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: it's been well taken care of over the years too.

1450
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 1: And I give the Bills a lot of credit for that.

1451
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: They They've not just done you know, umnovd. You see,

1452
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: they do renovations that keep the place functional. And they

1453
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: have now forty it's a forty five year old stadium.

1454
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: It's almost fifty years old. It looks great. They've and

1455
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I think too they built it and whatever design I

1456
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: don't know whether they did this or not. You kind

1457
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: of got to give them credit for doing it, even

1458
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: if they didn't mean to. It's it was upgradeable, really upgradeable.

1459
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: I mean they've they've added the dugout suites. Remember the

1460
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: big thing that they had that year that they actually

1461
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: installed those, Uh they put them. They had the administration

1462
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: building on the end of it. Uh. Then they had

1463
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 1: all the you know, the M and T bank things

1464
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: and the club seating, the new concourses were installed. I mean,

1465
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: this it's been upgraded. And you know, I've been here

1466
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 1: over thirty years and It's been done maybe maybe maybe

1467
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: a half dozen times, maybe not quite that many. They

1468
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: have some significant upgrades on it year after year, and

1469
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: it's uh. It has weathered very well. It has stood

1470
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: the test of time. Good place to watch a game.

1471

1486
01:14:53,160 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: was like it was the most incredible game. Those were

1487
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the days Wade that's what I'm talking about. And that

01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: the guy, the team wins, and so from that day on,

1515
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: once a year they feel like they gotta hop the fence.

1516
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: And now they're you know, they're they got kids, They

1517
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: got kids at home. You know, they're paying mortgages they

1518
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: got and they're still thinking. Fans, someday we'll do a

1519
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 1: Twitter poll on one of the all time great traditions

1520
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: that you have to do during the season at least once.

1521
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: And some of these guys were telling me stories about

1522
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: how they hop the fence because they got to. They

1523
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: got to do their part for the team. They got

1524
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,799
Speaker 1: to do their part for the team. There's some crazies

1525
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: out there, there are there's some crazies. Hope the fans

1526
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: behave and have fun this this coming Monday. You don't

1527
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: have to hop the fence or getting fights exactly, none

1528
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: of that. Don't get in the fight it's getting set

1529
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: to take on New England, and it doesn't look good

1530
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: on paper and the official NFL statue. You know, you

1531
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: know you've heard this. The Bills are thirty first in offense,

1532
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: nineteenth and rushing yards per game. They had a pretty

1533
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: decent day rushing to football at Indianapolis, but thirty second

1534
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: in passing offense, thirty second in percent percent had interceptions,

1535
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: dead last in sacks per play, second to last in

1536
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: first downs per game. Um. Yeah, the numbers are awful

1537
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Dead last in points per game just

1538
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 1: about twelve. John McDermott asked about it yesterday, the Bills said,

1539
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: coach asked about what can he do? You know, how

1540
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: does he get more out of this offense given the

1541
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: personal limitations they have. Here's what he had to say.

1542
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 1: It comes back to fundamentals and technique. You know, we've

1543
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: got to make sure we're we're dialed in on all

1544
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 1: the fundamentals and technique and then and then we're all

1545
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: on the same page with those fundamentals and technique. And

1546
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: as it relates to our communication, we had some times

1547
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: yesterday where we had they had free runners in our

1548
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: backfield just in the run game just to start, and

1549
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: because we weren't passing things off the way we should

1550
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: have been. From a fundamental technique standpoint, all that set

1551
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: up in the offense has struggles produced finems all season long.

1552
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you coach more out of that

1553
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: union that you know is off to one of the

1554
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: worst starts in franchises. Yeah, to continue to develop and build.

1555
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: You know, we've got some players there that maybe haven't

1556
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: played either in this league or in big of roles

1557
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: as they're they're expected to. Now we've got to continue

1558
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: get to get the ball in the hands of our

1559
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: of our best of our best football players. Sean McDermott

1560
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: yesterday and Stevie done. Then what more canny say? Really

1561
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: back to fundamentals and technique with the hand that they

1562
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: have to play at receiver and quarterback especially, I do

1563
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: think the offensive line has shown a couple of signs

1564
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: of life the last couple of weeks, but especially at

1565
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: receiver and quarterback. And we can, when we talked about

1566
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: it at length yesterday, a lot of complaints about how

1567
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,719
Speaker 1: they got to this situation at quarterback. With all that said,

1568
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: this is where they are right now, and that Sean

1569
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,759
Speaker 1: McDermott doesn't have any real good answers, at least answers

1570
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: that sound good, so he goes to fundamentals and technique,

1571
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: which is all he can control as the head coach. Yeah,

1572
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: you think about if this is a team that the

1573
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: most part aside from week one and maybe this last week,

1574
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: and this is a team that well, like you said,

1575
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 1: they put together a stretch of really good defensive football

1576
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: and they're doing that with young players on the defensive

1577
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: side of the football at a lot of key spots.

1578
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: They've played really well both in the back end and

1579
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 1: at the front seven. And that's what they were going

1580
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: to lean on. When that disappears, you're pretty much laid bare.

1581
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: And that's what you saw this last week in Indianapolis.

1582
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: There's there's no question that getting back to fundamentals, that's

1583
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: always where you start. You always start with your you know,

1584
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: working harder to get better, and that's what they continue

1585
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: to do every day. But I think, you know, this

1586
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: is a team that has right now, well we knew

1587
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: coming in that they weren't going to be you know,

1588
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,560
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna be undefeated or be world beaters, or

1589
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, they were gonna be one of these teams

1590
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: that we're in contention from the word go. But we

1591
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 1: knew that they were gonna have to do out of

1592
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: a recipe to win games, and we talked about it

1593
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: last week before they went Indianapolis. They're gonna have the

1594
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: defense is gonna have to hold the opponent off the scoreboard,

1595
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: and the offense is gonna have to hang onto the football,

1596
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: run the ball well, and just do enough in the

1597
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 1: passing game to keep him honest. Well, the defense got

1598
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: scored on, the offense had trouble staying on the football field,

1599
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: and they turned it over. I mean, that's a recipe

1600
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: for disaster. Yeah, not a win, and that you've got

1601
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: to stay on schedule. If you're the Buffalo Bills, their

1602
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: margin of air is not big. They've got to stay

1603
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: on their script. And last week it got out a

1604
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: hand quick. You're not This team is not going to

1605
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: come down come back from three touchdowns twenty four nothing

1606
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: at halftime. Going into the game, I thought the Bills

1607
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: if they were to win, and I thought they would.

1608
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: I thought they win like fourteen to twelve, and that

1609
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: went by the boards and down twenty four to nothing

1610
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: at halftime. Brian Dayboll met the media yesterday to the

1611
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive coordinator, and he's in the same situation right

1612
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: as McDermott knows what they have to work with, what

1613
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: they're missing on the offensive side of the ball as well.

1614
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: He was asked about resilience and how much his team

1615
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: has to kind of just you know, plow through this

1616
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: tough stretch. Here's what Brian Table had to say about that.

1617
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: You know, we know we're not where we need to be,

1618
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: and you have to be mentally strong, whether you're you're

1619
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: doing well or you're you're not doing well, and I've

1620
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: been on both ends of the spectrum. You have to

1621
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 1: you have to have a short term memory. You have

1622
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: to look at the things that you need to improve on,

1623
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: which for us is a lot uh and go out

1624
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: there during the week, try to have a really good week,

1625
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: study your opponent, and then translate it to the game,

1626
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, by by making productive plays and executing well.

1627
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: So you know, you you look. No one wants to

1628
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: be where we're at, and everybody's disappointed. Put me at

1629
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 1: the top of the list. So we're going to continue

1630
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 1: to grind it out and try to get better. Briand

1631
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: Gable Yeah, nobody's happy, and it makes very difficult work

1632
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: week here. See, But it's really the essence of pro football,

1633
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: isn't it just grinding. You always hear people say back

1634
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: on the grind, players say that you have to just

1635
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: grind away. And while the Bills could look at last

1636
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: week's game against the Colts and say, look, we got

1637
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: a chance here. We know we're not going to score

1638
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,839
Speaker 1: a lot, so let's hold them to twelve or thirteen

1639
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: points and win, it's really difficult to do against season

1640
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. They're the third or fourth highest scoring

1641
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League so far this year.

1642
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the math real quicker. They've got two

1643
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: hundred fourteen points, which is more than thirty points per

1644
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: game scored the Patriots do. So it's a tall order.

1645
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: It's a tough task, but it's not impossible. We'll see.

1646
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it all starts when they go back

1647
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: to work. And they go back to work this week

1648
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and they're gonna see a Patriot team that

1649
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: has to feel pretty good about where they are in

1650
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: their season. But also they're a team that you don't

1651
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: know where you're gonna get the Patriots beat you in

1652
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: ways that they tailored specifically against your team. You're not

1653
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: going to get the same team that the Patriots put

1654
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: out there against are the same game plan that they

1655
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: put out there against the Dolphins, or against anybody else,

1656
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, any other team. You're gonna get a game

1657
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: plan specific specific to you. UM, and that's why they're

1658
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: so difficult to beat. You don't know what they're gonna

1659
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: look at, what they're gonna see, how they're gonna deploy

1660
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: their people, what personnel groupings they're gonna like in their

1661
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: game against you and UM and what adjustments they'll make

1662
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: to your personnel. So you know, this is a game

1663
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,840

Speaker 1: for the team, for Bills, Bills fans, the team. I

1665
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: think it's going to test their resolve. I don't think

Speaker 1: there's any question about it. Tough one. We'll talk more

Speaker 1: looking forward to that talking about the Bills. Want to

1677
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: hear from you. Your favorite Monday night football home games

1678
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: a memory. There's been a couple of those. Interesting lot

1679
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: going on in Oakland, Steve. Not my favorite team, not

1680
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: yours either, But the last really two days, the Raiders

1681
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: have been in the news for I don't think there's

1682
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: are any good moves. Really. They made the trade yesterday

1683
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: and I think this is actually, this looks like a

1684
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. Cowboys sent a first round draft pick

1685
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen to the Raiders for wide receiver or

1686
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper, a former first round draft pick fourth overall

1687
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: pick three years ago. Twenty two catches one touchdown six

1688
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: games this season. Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie confirmed the trade yesterday,

1689
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: so Oakland now has three first round picks. They also

1690
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: have the Bears first from the Khalil Mac trade. The

1691
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: Raiders clearly in sort of a scale down mode here.

1692
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: So they say goodbye to Omari Cooper. By the way,

1693
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: the Raiders two years removed from a really strong playoff

1694
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 1: season and now they're twelve games. Yeah, and now they're

1695
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: pulling it apart, but three first round picks. I guess

1696
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 1: what they're doing is loading up for the future, right

1697
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, you would think that. It seems

1698
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: crazy and I we've been talking about it. We saw

1699
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: I talked like this even after after their draft this

1700
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: last year. There didn't seem to be any plan to

1701
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: it except that they kind of swung for the fence

1702
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: with some talent either their home run or bust. And

1703
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: now he trade Khalil Mack, he traded Murray Cooper. You know,

1704
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: they've even been they've even been accused of shopping Derek Carr.

1705
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the latest thing in this weird h

1706
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:48,919
Speaker 1: Raiders thing. Report in the Athletic dot com in Oakland,

1707
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,480
Speaker 1: UM Derek Carr is his confidence among his teammates is diminishing.

1708
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: This is what Marcus Thompson the second reports in the Athletic.

1709
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,440
Speaker 1: He says that Car's relationship with his teammates is fractured,

1710
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: the word he used. Carr allegedly cried after injuring his

1711
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: arm in their loss to Seattle, and that was noted

1712
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: as part of the reason why teammates might have trouble

1713
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: looking at Derek Carr is the leader of the team. Now,

1714
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Carr denies that. Derek cars sent out a tweet today saying,

1715
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't crying. What are you talking about? This season?

1716
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr seventy two percent completion, seventeen hundred yards, seven

1717
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns of interceptions, not playing well, the Raiders one in five,

1718
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: not playing well, But Derek Carr crying after he lost.

1719
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: He injured his arm the other day against Seattle, and

1720
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: now his teammates have lost confidence and their relationship is fractured.

1721
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't bode well for the future. There either doesn't

1722
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: yeah no, and I don't think yeah yeah, that's crazy talk.

1723
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio had that team going, man, Yeah, he

1724
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: had him flying. And they have one like off season

1725
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, guys getting hurt and all of a sudden,

1726
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: they're pulling the plug, hiring John Gruden, who to a

1727
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: ten year, one hundred million dollar contract. Reggie McKenzie is

1728
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 1: there by kind of completely undercut and sabotage to get

1729
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: he's going to be out of there in a year.

1730
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 1: So I read a week to go and I don't know,

1731
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: maybe we had a guest on about it. That So

1732
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Reggie McKenzie is the general manager, he's got his personnel group.

1733
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: But I read somewhere that Gruden has his own group,

1734
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: like a kitchen cabinet of four or five guys that

1735
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 1: advise him on personnel and advise him what are separate

1736
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: from Reggie McKenzie's people. Separate from McKenzie's people. That's insanity,

1737
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's yeah, that's crazy. Well, I know you

1738
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: believe this. And plus in the background, you've got this

1739
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Oakland Vegas moving to Vegas. Steve will tell you that

1740
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: ownership means a lot, right, And I think what you're

1741
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 1: looking at is the failure of Mark Davis both to

1742
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: get that stadium nailed down in Oakland and to replace

1743
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: del Rio with John Gruden. I mean it's ownership failure

1744
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: that's really undone that team, isn't it. Yeah? I mean, yes, yes,

1745
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: that's it's been poor leadership at the top. And um,

1746
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy and Reggie McKenzie who's building

1747
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: it and doing everything ride and you're gonna you're gonna

1748
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:04,799
Speaker 1: override him at every turn or at least crucial moments

1749
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 1: when you're gonna fire a head coach or hire a

1750
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: head coach, when you're gonna hire him. You really think

1751
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: Reggie mackenzie put John Gruden at the top of the

1752
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: list to bring in as a head coaching candidate. No,

1753
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you. There's no way he did. There's

1754
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: no way you're not gonna sign a guy to a

1755
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: ten year contract as a head coach in a national

1756
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: football league. That's it's crazy. And now you know the

1757
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna Now we're here, they don't even have

1758
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 1: a place to play next year. They've got to find that.

1759
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 1: The lease is up on Alkanowa me to cale see him.

1760
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: And their stadium in Vegas is not ready yet. It's

1761
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready, So they've got a place. They've

1762
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 1: got to find a place to play their football games.

1763
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing? What are you doing?

1764
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: You gotta think some you gotta put a plan together.

1765
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't expect that from Mark Davis, So I

1766
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: really wouldn't. I've never met him, but from the actions

1767
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 1: of his football team, Um Yeah, he didn't spend his

1768
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:03,560
Speaker 1: he didn't work his way up from the bottom and

1769
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: the football end of it, he came into the top

1770
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 1: and didn't and you know has he just has no plan.

1771
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: That's poor leadership and that you can point to. All

1772
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: these point to that same thing. In the San Diego Chargers.

1773
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,719
Speaker 1: They've got no stadium, they've got a good team they're playing.

1774
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: They got a good team and they got and every

1775
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: game this year for the San Diego Chargers isn't away game. Yeah,

1776
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: and they're good. Embarrassing, that's an embarrassment. Goodn't have to

1777
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,640
Speaker 1: overcome that. That's an embarrassment when you put them in

1778
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,799
Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand seats soccer stadium and it's full

1779
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,679
Speaker 1: of Chiefs fans. They're good enough to overcome that. They

1780
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: weren't even good enough in San Diego to have those

1781
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 1: people drive a couple hours to come up and see

1782
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 1: him in LA. They're done with him. They are. People

1783
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 1: in San Diego are so mad at the Chargers and

1784
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: their leadership. They kicked him out of the They kicked

1785
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,640
Speaker 1: him out of town for good reason. It's unbelievable. All right,

Speaker 1: leader of the charge? How it was amazing. It was

1848
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,639

1849
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,360

01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,080
Speaker 1: got to experience that. How I've experienced it. How we

1851
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 1: all experienced Buffalo. And when they came here, they fell

1852
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: in love with it. And now my oldest daughter, Maya,

1853
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: she's always talking she wants to come move here. And

1854
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:14,280
Speaker 1: now he was born here. Yeah, she wasn't born here,

1855
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: but she was here throughout it in Type Coast of

1856
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: the time. He played three years in San Diego after

1857
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 1: you left Buffalo. I actually played one season. I ended

1858
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: up tearing my knee up and then I was just

1859
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: rehabbing for that second season. Six six really nice years

1860
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. You're the only guy. And it's amazing too,

1861
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: because all the players in the history of the team,

1862
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,679
Speaker 1: you're the only guy's put together three thousand yard seasons

1863
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: as a receiver. You really go to guy that came

1864
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: out and who what do you remember about your time?

1865
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: You're like, who's your favorite quarterback. Honestly, I'm gonna just

1866
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with fitz Patrick to keep it simple, man,

1867
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: because um, you know, the one thing about me and

1868
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: fitz was we came in as as really nobody, you know,

1869
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: nobody undrapped. Well, I was late, late in the revenue,

1870
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 1: but um, you know, were just practicing a lot together

1871
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,920
Speaker 1: and uh, he got his opportunity, and I I've seen that.

1872
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:02,639
Speaker 1: It was the opportunity for me because I know he's

1873
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,360
Speaker 1: going to go in there and sling the ball, you

1874
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's pretty much it's kind of

1875
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 1: like the situation that they're in right now with with

1876
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson. I mean, you know he's going to be

1877
01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 1: in for just so long, so take advantage of it.

1878
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: And that's what we did, and we end up prolonging

1879
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: our you know, our football. D's establishing yourself. The legend

1880
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 1: kind of was that you ran whatever route you wanted

1881
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 1: and fits knew he was gonna find you. It's as

1882
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 1: simple as it was. I mean, you had to have

1883
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 1: some rout it was. It wasn't that simple. Um, it

1884
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,759
Speaker 1: was it was just you know, playing our game. Really,

1885
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't the deep threat. I wasn't the

1886
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 1: guy that was gonna catching eighty yards down the field.

1887
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,639
Speaker 1: You know, I can, I can create space within tight spaces,

1888
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 1: you know. And and and he was good at just

1889
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:47,280
Speaker 1: getting the ball to me. So we worked on that coach, gaily, slants, hitches,

1890
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,600
Speaker 1: option routes, um, those those type of things is what

1891
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 1: we worked got our money off of. And and and

1892
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: it helped us, you know, And I think that's what

1893
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: we can we can get to them. What do you

1894
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: remember about those Buffalo teams that you were on? You know,

1895
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: he obviously fits and all the guys that in that

1896
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 1: locker room. It was during the drought years where you

1897
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 1: had a hard time win a lot of games, enough

1898
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: games to get the playoffs. What do you remember about

1899
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: your time in buffal Um. It was interesting because it

1900
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 1: was a drought time, but it was It was cool

1901
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: because the locker room had a bunch of guys that

1902
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: wanted to establish their own name, you know, and and

1903
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,799
Speaker 1: it showed when it can't when it can. Like Fred Jackson,

1904
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: me and him had a conversation as far as when

1905
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 1: we walked past the locker room the old bill store,

1906
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: and we wanted to have our names in that in

1907
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: that in that store. You know, our jerseys up there.

1908
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 1: So we continuously worked at it and it showed on

1909
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 1: the field and next thing, you know, we got our

1910
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: jerseys up there. So it was a bunch of guys

1911
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 1: like that, and um, that was the beautiful thing about it.

1912
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: What do you think of fits now still playing, still

1913
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,600
Speaker 1: playing fairly effectively? You keep an eye on him, Do

1914
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: you keep the track of how he's doing that? Yeah? Absolutely, absolutely, man, Um,

1915
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 1: I check him out every time every chance I get.

1916
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 1: You know you you uh, you always. I always root

1917
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: for the guy. Um, it's good to see him still

1918
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: going and at his position. Hopefully he can play five

1919
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 1: or six more years or whatnot and keep on producing

1920
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 1: those beautiful babies. You got it right. Tell me about

1921
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff you played for. What do you remember

1922
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:13,560
Speaker 1: about them? Well, they gave us. They they gave us opportunity.

1923
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, they gave us freedom to be us and

1924
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:21,360
Speaker 1: take accountability for ourselves. You know, they wasn't trying to

1925
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:25,400
Speaker 1: do too much. They allowed us to. They allowed us

1926
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: to create our own game. If I would say, you know,

1927
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: as far as me running routes like I did, I

1928
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 1: wasn't running the routes that that the coaches were showing

1929
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: on papers, you know. But he allowed me to do it,

1930
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 1: and if it didn't work, I had to be accountable.

1931
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean, because what correct me

1932
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong? There was a route call. You'd know

1933
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: where you were supposed to be and how long you

1934
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 1: were supposed to take you to get there, and you

1935
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: got separation and showed up in that spot no matter

1936
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: where you went. That's how it worked. And Fitz knew that,

1937
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, And that's the mental clock you had. He had.

1938
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 1: You knew where you were supposed to be, You knew

1939
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 1: the timing of the play, and you did whatever you

1940
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 1: could to get separation in that spot at the right time,

1941
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,759
Speaker 1: right right exactly. And that was that was through work

1942
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,640
Speaker 1: and coach Gaily allowing us to do that. You know,

1943
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't. He didn't yell at me for

1944
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,439
Speaker 1: not running this exactly how how he called it. As

1945
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,719
Speaker 1: long as you get to that spot and create that space,

1946
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: it's all good. Quarterbacks, Yeah, quarterbacks, go leve it for sure.

1947
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 1: And um, you know that helped us out a lot.

1948
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 1: That help us out a lot. It also says a

1949
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: lot about fits and the quarterbacks say, you know what,

1950
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry about that. But when he shows up,

1951
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: I trust that he's gonna be there no matter what

1952
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 1: that route looks like. I look over that it's not

1953
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 1: gonna look right, but I know that when the time

1954
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: comes up, that takes a lot of trust. Right quarter right,

1955
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 1: it's and it's all and it's all timing. It's all timing. Anybody,

1956
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: and anybody can do it. Anybody can do it. They

1957
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 1: just gotta believe in their abilities, man and and just

1958
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 1: and once they see it happen, it'll be easy for him.

1959
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 1: It'll be easy for him and um Right like right now,

1960
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 1: just watching the games, it just seemed like it like

1961
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 1: nobody's creating that, you know what I'm saying. They like

1962
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,599
Speaker 1: they may maybe they try to, but it just don't

1963
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 1: seem like they're they're really they're really trying to create that.

1964
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: Right now, I think guys are being over coached to

1965
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Is that what you're saying.

1966
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:10,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say over coached, but they're they just gotta

1967
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,719
Speaker 1: let loose and understand that the coaches aren't playing. They

1968
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna give you the game plan, but at the end

1969
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: of the day, you have to go out there on

1970
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,599
Speaker 1: that field and make that happen, you know what I'm saying. However,

1971
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 1: you can and and maybe maybe I don't know how

1972
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: the coaches are coaching. I mean I see from Afar

1973
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 1: and and and head coaches like a humble leader, and

1974
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: so I feel like he gives them, gives them the

1975
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 1: freedom to do that. But um, maybe they just don't

1976
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: know that they can do it. You know. So what

1977
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: you were playing here and you had this, you had

1978
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 1: this reputation for being a guy like had fun on

1979
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: the field. You still have the white so serious T shirt?

1980
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:48,600
Speaker 1: Did you keep that? Or I wish if I was,

1981
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 1: if I was a little better than what I was,

1982
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 1: and may go to all the thing, but um, I

1983
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: still I still have the shirt. Um, I'm not a

1984
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,600
Speaker 1: wild boy as I once was, but um, it was

1985
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 1: it was just it was just me trying to prove myself,

1986
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:02,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Me trying to prove myself,

1987
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: and me understanding what the city is watching, you know

1988
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yes, fifty three of us, maybe eighty

1989
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: or so could collectively as as a team, but when

1990
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 1: we go out there on the field, it's a whole

1991
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: city that's that we represented, and that was the passion

1992
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: that I played with it. You know, I wanted to

1993
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 1: have handle my bins and I wanted to have fun

1994
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:21,880
Speaker 1: because I know that they paid their money to come

1995
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: see us, and afterwards they go feel either good or

1996
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 1: they go feel bad, and it's all really on us

1997
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 1: to make them feel that type of way. So I

1998
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 1: just went out there and try to do my best,

1999
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 1: and it wasn't always good, but you know what I'm saying,

2000
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: I felt like I did what I was for pretty

2001
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 1: much where I was supposed to. We've got former Bills

2002

Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2006
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: When we talk about that Buffalo offense back then, the

2007
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 1: passing offense, a lot of that was Chan, right, and

2008
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: Chan was an older gentleman. He was older, and he

2009
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: was a gentleman, right. He was a Southern gentleman, but

2010
01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: he was kind of cutting edge when it came to

2011
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty first century NFL passing offensive. Yeah, for sure. And

2012
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 1: Uh did he did he retire or did he just not? Well,

2013
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 1: he wrapped up with the Jets two years ago, and

2014
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: I do think he's officially retired now because he had

2015
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 1: good years with the Jets after he left here. Yeah.

2016
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 1: He I mean he know how to draw it up, honestly,

2017
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 1: and nods to draw it up. You know how to

2018
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 1: put people in positions um to thrive. And uh, you know,

2019
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 1: I got a lot of love for him. Well, I

2020
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:27,400

2040
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: It's Stevie. Right before we went on the air, you

2041
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 1: mentioned so you played here for what six years and

2042
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: they went to the Niners and went to the Chargers. Yeah,

2043
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 1: and you said you kind of wish you would have

2044
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: wound up here for the whole. Yeah, they kind of

2045
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 1: put I love Buffalo Bill. I love him, but they

2046
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: put a fast one because they sent me to San

2047
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: Francisco where they know I wouldn't go say nothing. That's

2048
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 1: my hometown. Yeah, but my heart was my heart was here.

2049
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I wanted to I wanted

2050
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: to end here, and you know that's why I'm coming

2051
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:50,360
Speaker 1: back to to It's my second time in a month. Yeah,

2052
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 1: it's not it's not bad. I love that vibe. I

2053
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 1: love the feeling of Buffalo. How cold it is? Right now?

2054
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 1: This is what it is, this is this is our lives,

2055
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: this is our world. And I got him today and said, man,

2056
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: that's cold. I wish it wasn't, man, But because we

2057
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: know what's coming yea. So what do you miss about Buffalo? Man?

2058
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: I just missed the entire vibe of it. You know

2059
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I feel like it's a it's a challenge.

2060
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 1: It's a challenge in every week you get that win.

2061
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 1: I accomplished that challenge. Let's go to the next one.

2062
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 1: Is that part of it proving the world, not the world,

2063
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: proving everybody outside of Buffalo wrong because we all know

2064
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 1: what they're talking about about the city. So when you

2065
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: can get that win or prove that you I don't

2066
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 1: want to say better, but you've you've beat someone on

2067
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 1: the player or whatnot. You got the one up for Buffalo.

2068
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:38,439
Speaker 1: And that's that's what I'm about. I'm an underdog, ultimate underdog,

2069
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that's what I feel about.

2070
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: Who's the best corner you ever went against in your

2071
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 1: time in the NFL, either Buffalo or the other stops.

2072
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it with UM with my

2073
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 1: cornerbacks here, Terrence McGee, Leotis, Ron Brooks, Um, Draydon flor

2074
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:56,480
Speaker 1: Draydon Florence helped me out a lot. Actually he uh

2075
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 1: oh man, he helped me out a lot as far

2076
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: as you know, when you was talking to about being

2077
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 1: at a certain place, not necessarily doing it the exact way,

2078
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,760
Speaker 1: but being at the place and having the time. He

2079
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: was the one that got my mind right as far

2080
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you know where I'm going to

2081
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 1: be when I was running like the regular routes, the

2082
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 1: basic routes, and he was like, well, I can tell

2083
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: from this to split the lineup, et cetera, et cetera.

2084
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: Gets lost, A lot of it gets so lost and

2085
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 1: um and that, and that helped me give a good

2086
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: sense of my receiver position because what happens is dbs

2087
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:26,839
Speaker 1: start to know the stems, the breaks. You know, everybody

2088
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 1: runs this out, everybody runs it. You know the post route,

2089
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, it's a corner route and

2090
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: all that. So if you run your routes, which is

2091
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 1: what you were so good at, running your routes to

2092
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 1: get to the same spot as a poster or as

2093
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 1: an out route as a slant or as a crossing route,

2094
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 1: a dig route, whatever, what have you come back if

2095
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:46,600
Speaker 1: you get there in a completely different way. The DBS

2096
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,799
Speaker 1: really struggle with having keys. They couldn't read your body language,

2097
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: your breaks. They had no idea what route you were running.

2098
01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 1: And that was easier really precisely to get separation that

2099
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: one precisely. And um having having conversations with with our DBS,

2100
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 1: George Wilson, he was he was very helpful, you know,

2101
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 1: letting me know the the understanding of timing and route

2102
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: and route recognitions, and um, so I was just diving

2103
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: into the cornerback's head. And those guys are the ones

2104
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: that help me as far as communicating, So I'm always

2105
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 1: put them on before I put anybody else on another team.

2106
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 1: On opponents. You used to really go to war with

2107
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 1: Durell Reeves a lot, right, You played them twice a

2108
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: year for most of your career here. Yeah. Yeah, And

2109
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: and honestly, and honestly, I didn't even know who he

2110
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 1: was earlier earlier in the career, in my career when

2111
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 1: we was going up aginst each other because I didn't

2112
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 1: pay attention to that. The drifting all and who's top

2113
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 1: this and that. I just noticed somebody over here trying

2114
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: to stop me, and I can't let him stop me,

2115
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And UM, me and him

2116
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,759
Speaker 1: have some good wars, some good battles. Um, I wish

2117
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 1: I wish we would have won more of them so

2118
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 1: I could so they could really see my personality after that.

2119
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,599
Speaker 1: But but I don't like to talk when we lose,

2120
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I say, he had

2121
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 1: to hand up on me or the upper hand when

2122
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: it came to that. Though. We're CB Johnson by the way,

2123
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:02,840
Speaker 1: a couple more minutes here if you'd like to join.

2124
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 1: This phone line's open. We were talking a few minutes ago,

2125
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: CEB about the Raiders, which is kind of your hometown,

2126
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:09,679
Speaker 1: and you have friends here, including Marshaw and Lynch, who

2127
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: goes on to I R. Now, I guess what have

2128
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: you heard? First of all, how was Marshawn doing? What

2129
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: do you hear from him? And what do you make

2130
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:17,880
Speaker 1: of the whole Raiders situation, trading away Cooper and Derek

2131
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,639
Speaker 1: Carr now crying and stuff. What do you think's going on? Yeah,

2132
01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 1: first of all, Marshawn, he's a legend out there, in

2133
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 1: the Bay Area in Oakland. He's loving it that he's

2134
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:29,840
Speaker 1: back to football, you know. Um, the situation that he's in.

2135
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: I can't say his ideal, you know, but it is

2136
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 1: ideal for the coach. You know, he's there for coach

2137
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: Bruzen's there for ten years, so he's gonna be He's

2138
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna rebuild his team. I mean, it makes sense when

2139
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: you're thinking it from that standpoint, But from a fan

2140
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: right now, seeing what's going on, trading away Mac, trading

2141
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 1: Cooper anyway, like we should be going at going to

2142
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: get those type of guys. Why why not? Why not

2143
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,000
Speaker 1: go in and put put our name in the hat

2144
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,120
Speaker 1: to go get those guys. But you know, they're just

2145
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 1: doing it. They're doing a rebuilding thing. It is what

2146
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 1: it is. Um. What do you think of their moved

2147
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,920
Speaker 1: to Vegas? And how do people out there in northern

2148
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: California feel about that? People in Oakland, they ain't feeling

2149
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 1: it at all. They're not feeling that at all, you know.

2150
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 1: But you know, this is the business. It is what

2151
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: it is, you know, at the end of the day,

2152
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: and we can talk about it as much as we can,

2153
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,639
Speaker 1: but you know, business moves go happening. Yeah, they've been

2154
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: through this before. They moved from to LA for thirteen

2155
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 1: years and they came back and then they kind of

2156
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:27,439
Speaker 1: got it back together right with the fans, and now

2157
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 1: they're taking off again. Right. Well. One thing that's good though,

2158
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: is we was flirting on moving to Toronto for some years.

2159
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah and there and we stay strong. So shout out

2160
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: to Buffalo for holding the team down. And you now

2161
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: live in San Diego, which just slash their team. You

2162
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of saw it happen again, right that that didn't

2163
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,720
Speaker 1: have to happen with the Chargers, right, yeah, you know,

2164
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 1: but once again, business is business, you know, and we

2165
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: can't we can't do nothing about it. We got to

2166
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,439

2174
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:21,920

2175
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 1: in and just give y'all a little funny story. Ste

2176
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 1: go ahead, yeah, you know what's coming. So Stevie and

2177
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: I were roommates. Yeah, we were roommates for about six

2178
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:36,680
Speaker 1: eight weeks are I think it was Stevie's rookie season. Um.

2179
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 1: And one of the things I learned about Stevie, Man,

2180
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 1: we would just be in the room chopping it up,

2181
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, talking about football. Were usually out of college

2182
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 1: football game on and we would just be sitting there

2183
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 1: watching it. And right before Stevie would go to bed,

2184
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: he would literally build a fort for himself with the

2185
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,040
Speaker 1: pillows that are on the bed and make him a

2186
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: little fork, and he'd fall asleep inside of it. Man.

2187
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 1: And that's been one of the stories I've just taken

2188
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: with everywhere I went, is how my man Stevie had

2189
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 1: to make that little fort before he went. Did that

2190
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,559
Speaker 1: say Stevie, or that Stevie needed a fort when he

2191
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: was your roommate? Hey, look what you know what? I

2192
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: often thought that question. I was like, Man, am I

2193
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: that that's bad of a roommate that he had to

2194
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: build a fort to go to sleep? He nah, Nah,

2195
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:21,040
Speaker 1: you wasn't You wasn't that bad. I knew I had

2196
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: protection at all times, but I was just tapping in.

2197
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:25,400
Speaker 1: I was getting give him myself. Did you just call

2198
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: him the bully of the locker room? Why did you

2199
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,479
Speaker 1: say that? What? Was Fred really a bully? He was?

2200
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 1: He was the Buffalo bull. You know, he wasn't He

2201
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:33,720
Speaker 1: wasn't a bully. And that's in that sense you know

2202
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: that words getting is kind of taken out right now,

2216
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:14,240

2217
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 1: my all time favorite things to see. And you know

2218
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: it was all when he was all Reevos Island and

2219
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: I was like, man, Stevie just went to your island

2220
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:23,160
Speaker 1: and blew it up. Man. So you know, it was

2221
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:24,720

2225
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 1: was buddy, Stevie Johnson. Yeah, you you were here a

2226
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: month ago right for the Chargers game. Um, what did

2227
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 1: you think? And that was your first trip back, I

2228
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: think you said, since you left right yeah, uh, twenty thirteen,

2229
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 1: so the first time back in five years. What did

2230
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 1: you think of the way the physical plan has changed

2231
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: around here? What did you get in the locker room then?

2232
01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it looks amazing. If we were we

2233
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: were staying at with the Millennium at the time when

2234
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,799
Speaker 1: he was here, and now they got the new hotel

2235
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:00,920
Speaker 1: to Marry out by the Harbor Center they got, uh,

2236
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 1: it just looks so it looks totally different. It looks

2237
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 1: it looks great, And I feel like athletes would come

2238
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: here and see it and and think differently of what

2239
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: they perceive Buffalo to be. You know, I think it's

2240
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:14,800
Speaker 1: great that they they're doing this. There's a lot of

2241
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 1: construction going on outside, even though yeah you hear, we

2242
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 1: can hear the stuff going on, hammers and everything. Yeah,

2243
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: they're upgrading the physical buildings and that. How what do

2244
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: you think the thought is for the players these days?

2245
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: How important is keeping up, you know, the buildings or

2246
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,200
Speaker 1: does it all just come down to your contract or

2247
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 1: does this kind of stuff make a difference for free agents,

2248
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 1: to be honest, in this day and age, Yeah, maybe

2249
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 1: it does make a difference. Back when. I know, back

2250
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 1: when you were playing, y'all weren't tripping off none of this.

2251
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:47,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, y'all, Just yeah, y'all was

2252
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: just going out there and playing ball. That was similar

2253
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 1: to the same thing that we had. It was kind

2254
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 1: of on the version of people coming in and saying, oh,

2255
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:57,800
Speaker 1: it looks this and looks like that. But the originals,

2256
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 1: we wouldn't trip. We didn't care if it was beautiful

2257
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 1: lights out here or nice nice grass over there. We

2258
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 1: were just here. We here to play football and that's

2259
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 1: and that's it, you know what I'm saying, Um this

2260
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:11,879
Speaker 1: day and age. Yeah, with these these the younger generations,

2261
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:14,479
Speaker 1: they come up, they want to see the fancy lights

2262
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: and the attractions and all that and that matters to them,

2263
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 1: which is shouldn't but you know, I mean, we just

2264
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 1: it's like staying hip, staying hip to the time and um,

2265
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, and it is what it is. So and

2266
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: it's good to see that that buffalo is changing and

2267
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,240
Speaker 1: doing that for you. If you go to if you

2268
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 1: see one team with it, you feel like I an't

2269
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 1: got it anyway, you know. But as long as you're

2270
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 1: on par with the rest of the league, you really

2271
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,919
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about, you know how the facility

2272
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:41,760
Speaker 1: looks all that as long as it Yeah, at a

2273
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 1: certain level, but these facilities are something else. They're all

2274
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: different too. Every team is kind of a different set up. Yeah,

2275
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 1: this but this one right here, I didn't know where

2276
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 1: I was when I walked in, Like the old training room. Yeah, yeah,

2277
01:51:56,400 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 1: it's so nice. It's so nice and amazing. The radio

2278
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,680
Speaker 1: show with us in the little clock. Yeah, look at

2279
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 1: the south Hey, Um, what are you most proud of

2280
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 1: of your NFL career, especially the Buffalo PROD. What do

2281
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: you look back out and said, I did that. That's

2282
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,880
Speaker 1: what I'm really proud of. Um, I would go back

2283
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 1: to the to the thousand yards season if I can,

2284
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: If I can just say one thing. Usually I wouldn't

2285
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,599
Speaker 1: even speak on it. But when I look back at

2286
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:24,719
Speaker 1: it now, and because I'm thinking that's gonna be gone

2287
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 1: the year after I leave, you know, but I guess

2288
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 1: it is something tough to do. Yeah, I guess it

2289
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 1: is something tough to do. So when I look back

2290
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 1: at it this like like, Wow, I can't believe that

2291
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: that that actually happened. And and that was not like

2292
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 1: I was planning for it or setting that goal to

2293
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 1: do it. I was just trying to win games and

2294
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,839
Speaker 1: make a name for myself, my teammates, the city, my family,

2295
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 1: and ended up happening like that. So, you know, thank you.

2296
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 1: I think about this too. You came in as a

2297
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 1: seventh round pick. Seventh round always make the roster. Not

2298
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 1: only did you made the roster, three hundred one catches,

2299
01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: seventy five games or so, your eighth leading receiver in

2300
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: franchise history. That's a lot for a seventh round to do. Accomplish. Yeah,

2301
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that much,

2302
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,479
Speaker 1: you know. Um, it was it was just I had

2303
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity since I got the call from coach April

2304
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 1: Bob April Or said you want to come out here?

2305
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:14,639
Speaker 1: And and then uh when my first coach, Tyke Tober,

2306
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 1: was my first receiver coach, I still see him on

2307
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 1: the side land. I think he's in Denver rate Yeah. No, no, no,

2308
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: he's with New York Giants, New York Giants right now.

2309
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,840
Speaker 1: And um, you know, he gave me some he gave

2310
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: me some confidence, or he gave me some motivation, you know,

2311
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 1: because we also had another guy who was who was

2312
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,360
Speaker 1: picking in the second round ahead of us, James Hardy

2313
01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: or ip to him. Um, and and we were just working.

2314
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 1: He constantly pushed me, um. Coached Tober, he constantly pushed me,

2315
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: and um, I had to find out. I had to

2316
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: find a way to make my name and running the

2317
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: regular routes wasn't working. And he stayed on me. So

2318
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 1: Fitz came and we came back and was just working

2319
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 1: on different things and and and boom he set it off.

2320
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:56,599
Speaker 1: But I feel like if he would have been if

2321
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 1: he would have took it easy on me. I probably

2322
01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:00,680
Speaker 1: would have been gone my first after my first year,

2323
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 1: second year, you know what I'm saying. So don't shy

2324
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,560
Speaker 1: away from that when the coaches is getting on you

2325
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 1: know what saying, don't shy away from it. Evolved, learned,

2326
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 1: adapt and then and get better from it. Yeah, that's

2327
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:13,240
Speaker 1: the difference. A lot of players and me and clude

2328
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:15,560
Speaker 1: to have guys in their past, in their background of

2329
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:18,280
Speaker 1: coaches in the early in their career. And gave him

2330
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:21,559
Speaker 1: some former players, like he said, other quarterbacks, other receivers,

Speaker 1: a couple of tips and every once in a while,

2333
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:28,599

2411
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: of his career with the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, he thought,

2443
01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:36,560
Speaker 1: want to say the Dallas Cowboys Monday Night game. The

2444
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:38,880
Speaker 1: stats were on our side, but we lost with a

2445
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 1: field goal after their kicker was ice. I thought we

2446
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 1: were gonna shock everybody in the NFL. It looked that

2447
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:46,040
Speaker 1: way early in that game. They're plus five in the

2448
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 1: takeaway and got beat two pick sixes. George Yeah. Also

2449
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 1: from Huggy Bear, he says the nineteen seventy four Monday

2450
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: Night Classic versus the Raiders. It was Joe Ferguson's coming

2451
01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:01,040
Speaker 1: out party. It was my very first Monday Night game,

2452
02:00:01,040 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 1: and I think my dad had more fun watching than me,

2453
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 1: which made it extra special. Which I had a stronger

2454
02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:10,360
Speaker 1: memory of that game, so I was in college. It

2455
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: was the season opener Bill's beat the Readers twenty one twenty.

2456
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I do remember people talk about a Modra shots touchdown

2457
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:18,560
Speaker 1: catching out, but that's about all I remember about it. Yeah,

2458
02:00:18,640 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I probably was studying. Okay, get

2459
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:27,760
Speaker 1: struck by lightning. Rob Truman and this is one I

2460
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 1: was a part of. He was a gi in Germany

2461
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 1: and he was up late or slash early to watch

2462
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Frank Reich's first start and Lofton's first game as a bill.

2463
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 1: That was October sixteenth, nineteen eighty nine. Is a boring

2464
02:00:39,600 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 1: game with a wild ending, but the team beat the Rams.

2465
02:00:43,080 --> 02:00:44,760
Speaker 1: That was I remember that being a little bit of

2466
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: an ugly game, but getting putting together the play and

2467
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:51,320
Speaker 1: that was really the first time and I thought when

2468
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 1: guys on our team, you know, saw something in Frank

2469
02:00:55,280 --> 02:00:57,040
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, we liked him us a good buddy,

2470
02:00:57,040 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: but you know, on the field he was really but

2471
02:01:01,480 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: much better when when he was in a hole to

2472
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:07,080
Speaker 1: dig out and I speaks to this to the comeback

2473
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:09,280
Speaker 1: game that later would become his crowning moment as a pro.

2474
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:13,520
Speaker 1: But he was a thinker and he wasn't afraid to

2475
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 1: make tough calls on the field. And that last play

2476
02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:20,960
Speaker 1: as a slant to Andre to the left, he looked right,

2477
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:23,720
Speaker 1: came back and threw it through it to the left

2478
02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and didn't really even look when he threw that last

2479
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,000
Speaker 1: play and Andre fought his way into the end zone,

2480
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and that was It was kind of one of the

2481
02:01:30,320 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: things I'll remember about Frank for a long time. But

2482
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 1: that was another fan's early memory of best memory from

2483
02:01:36,680 --> 02:01:39,880
Speaker 1: a Monday Night game was to be Frank Rake's fourth

2484
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:41,640
Speaker 1: year or the Bills, which tells you I think, as

2485
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: you said, that was his first start in his fourth year. Uh.

2486
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:48,360
Speaker 1: And it was a nineteen eighty nine the Bills in

2487
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 1: the Rams October, mid October. It was a cold night.

2488
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,080
Speaker 1: I remember being freezing that night, Steve, you recall that.

2489
02:01:53,080 --> 02:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I remember how cold that was. Yeah, we had got

2490
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 1: even on these highlights they're showing on MSG. I mean,

2491
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the guys were slipping and falling, and Rams defend were

2492
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: slipping and fall and I didn't remember it being that cold,

2493
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:06,560
Speaker 1: but there you go. October over, October sixteenth, nineteen eighty nine.

2494
02:02:06,600 --> 02:02:08,560
Speaker 1: That was I didn't realize that was James Lawton's first

2495
02:02:08,600 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: game either. I thought we picked him up much later

2496
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,040
Speaker 1: in the season. Let's take a call on this favorite

2497
02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Monday night home game over the years. Randy in deput. Hello, Randy,

2498
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:20,040
Speaker 1: go ahand you're on the air, Hi, how are you

2499
02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:25,200
Speaker 1: doing doing well? Favorite Monday night is that against the Dolphins.

2500
02:02:25,200 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 1: They're in eighty one when the Dolphins were warming up

2501
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 1: and the whole Bill's team came and ran right through them,

2502
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: and then we ran them over in the game. Did

2503
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: you do that, Steve? Did you run over the Dolphins

2504
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 1: in eighty one? Eighty one? As before my time? I was, Yeah,

2505
02:02:40,120 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 1: did they ran right through there? That seems like an

2506
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: affront doing their warm ups and they came right through them. Wow?

2507
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Game right after going over the seventies and then coming

2508
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:52,360
Speaker 1: out and running right through the eighty one. They probably

2509
02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:55,120
Speaker 1: didn't like that very much. Yeah, nah, he didn't. Was

2510
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Was there any scuffles for that, Randy All? Did they

2511
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: have a scuffle? I mean did was there like an

2512
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: altercation there because of that? Well? It was the bad blood? Yeah,

2513
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:07,720
Speaker 1: But did like when they when the Bills came out

2514
02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: of the tunnel and ran through the Dolphins warm ups?

2515
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Did the Dolphins players stand up and yeah? Yeah, they

2516
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 1: were getting Dolphins pushing around, but the Bills just went

2517
02:03:16,440 --> 02:03:18,560
Speaker 1: through them and then you know, off to the side. Yeah,

2518
02:03:18,600 --> 02:03:20,560
Speaker 1: there you go. All right? Yeah, you hard have a

2519
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:23,080
Speaker 1: hard time getting away with that in any era. Thank you, Ranny.

2520
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to a tom in San Diego high time.

2521
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you're on the ear. Hey, I just the

2522
02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:32,120
Speaker 1: best game I can remember on Monday night was the

2523
02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Bills against the Big Bad Raiders back in the seventies.

2524
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what year, but tom Irshad ran

2525
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 1: a hook post and Ferguson hit him for the winning

2526
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:46,600
Speaker 1: touchdown a lesson of minutes ago, and it was a

2527
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 1: big time because I think the Bills were heavy underdogs

2528
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 1: at night and that was my best memory. Yeah, we

2529
02:03:53,320 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 1: talked about that a couple of times. That's a lot

2530
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 1: of people's favorite seventy four right, the second Monday night

2531
02:03:58,560 --> 02:04:00,880
Speaker 1: football game ever played here. A lot of people cite

2532
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:02,640
Speaker 1: that game. As I said, I don't have a strong

2533
02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 1: recollection of that. I kind of remember watching on TV

2534
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:07,840
Speaker 1: from from It's the ones with the wild finishes, and

2535
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:10,040
Speaker 1: there's been been a few handful of Frank right game.

2536
02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:12,280
Speaker 1: We just talked about that Amad Rashad catch at the

2537
02:04:12,360 --> 02:04:15,440
Speaker 1: end of it, and the Cowboys loss has won for

2538
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 1: every but for a lot of people because you couldn't believe,

2539
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:20,120
Speaker 1: because that was a team that you didn't really think

2540
02:04:20,120 --> 02:04:21,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to beat, and you should have.

2541
02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:24,800
Speaker 1: They should have been had him. They had him, that's

2542
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the problem. They had him. One more on this A

2543
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:29,360
Speaker 1: call from Mark. Go ahead, Mark, you're on the air. Welcome,

2544
02:04:30,080 --> 02:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Hi guys. Uh the game we shot catching that pass

2545
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,360
Speaker 1: is my is my memory. I've told this story Edding

2546
02:04:37,440 --> 02:04:41,680
Speaker 1: once before. There's a personal backstory for that for me. Um.

2547
02:04:41,880 --> 02:04:43,720
Speaker 1: I was there at that game with my dad and

2548
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 1: my brother and when OJ fumbled the ball and the

2549
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Raiders took it in to go ahead, and with like

2550
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:51,600
Speaker 1: around two minutes left in a game, my dad got angry.

2551
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:54,040
Speaker 1: He said let's go, and we walked out of the stadium.

2552
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:57,000
Speaker 1: So there we were walking in the parking lot and

2553
02:04:57,080 --> 02:05:00,280
Speaker 1: we hear the crowd go crazy. Subsequently, we find down

2554
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Rashad catches the touchdown pass, and I remember looking at

2555
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:08,400
Speaker 1: my dad and saying, Dad, we're never gonna leave early.

2556
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,520
Speaker 1: So here we are. Subsequently, how many years later my

2557
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:15,839
Speaker 1: dad had passed away. I carried on his season tickets

2558
02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:20,480
Speaker 1: and I'm absolutely the great comeback. And I'm sitting there

2559
02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: at halftime and my brother looks at me and he goes,

2560
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to get out of here, and I said,

2561
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:29,880
Speaker 1: remember we told Dad we're never leaving again, and we stayed.

2562
02:05:30,080 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Good for you, and good for you. You can't leave early.

2563
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,400
Speaker 1: You can't leave early. You can't. As as painful as

2564
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 1: it sometimes is to stay, you gotta you gotta hang

2565
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 1: in there. That's and I like to believe my dad

2566
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,360
Speaker 1: looked down on us and said, I told you know,

2567
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I taught your lesson. See it because of me. That's

2568
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 1: that's a good member. That's a rule in our in

2569
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:51,920
Speaker 1: our family, Steve, you don't leave games early, and we have.

2570
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 1: My boys have adopted it. They don't leave early. And

2571
02:05:54,600 --> 02:05:56,520
Speaker 1: the cool part was, I forget where I was with

2572
02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:58,680
Speaker 1: my wife at a game recently, somewhere protting out of

2573
02:05:58,680 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 1: bills game, and it was the game was not going well.

2574
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't it fun hockey game or something. Yeah, And

2575
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:05,720
Speaker 1: she looked at me and said, well, we know we

2576
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:08,000
Speaker 1: can't leave early. And I said, you're right. You finally

2577
02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: got you don't leave games early. I don't care what's

2578
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 1: going on unless there's a fire or right right right,

2579
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:16,200
Speaker 1: that's that's don't true early. You don't leave early. And

2580
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: there we have another rule in my house. So you

2581
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 1: can't do the wave either. No, nobody, we can't. We

2582
02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:21,440
Speaker 1: can't let it. We can't do the wave. I won't

2583
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:23,200
Speaker 1: let any my kids or my family do the wave. No.

2584
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I used to bother me as a player, Really why

2585
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,440
Speaker 1: because they were nobody's watching the game right, they're watching

2586
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the wave go around the stadium. Hey, time now for

2587
02:06:30,760 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: NFL True or False brought to you my Yancey's Fancy

2588
02:06:34,720 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 1: New York's artists and cheese. NFL challenge rules should be changed.

2589
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: What what? John Harbaugh, Ravens coach said it yesterday? Coach.

2590
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:45,280
Speaker 1: He says coaches should not have to win both challenges

2591
02:06:45,320 --> 02:06:47,560
Speaker 1: in order to get a challenge back. Happened to him.

2592
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:50,720
Speaker 1: He used to early game challenges against the Saints, lost

2593
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 1: one of them, preventing him from challenging another call for

2594
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,839
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. I'm up for that. You shouldn't.

2595
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't want a ton of challenges, but you shouldn't

2596
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:01,120
Speaker 1: have to win them both to get one of them back. No.

2597
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:04,600
Speaker 1: If yeah, I think you should get one, well yeah

2598
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 1: I should get Here's what you should do. If you're right,

2599
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:08,920
Speaker 1: if you're right, you get it get you get it back.

2600
02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah you should. If you're getting it right, you should

2601
02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:14,760
Speaker 1: get as many as you get. I mean, I don't

2602
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: care if you get ten of them. If you're if

2603
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 1: you keep if you keep challenging and you keep getting

2604
02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:24,240
Speaker 1: it right, something's wrong. Yeah, right, Yeah, you need you

2605
02:07:24,280 --> 02:07:26,160
Speaker 1: need to get as many of those. If you get them,

2606
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:27,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to get both of them right. If

2607
02:07:27,760 --> 02:07:30,520
Speaker 1: you get one right, you get it back. I agree,

2608
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 1: I totally agree you should get too. And if you

2609
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:34,120
Speaker 1: get them right, as long as you keep getting them right,

2610
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 1: you shall have the same number you have when you

2611
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 1: took that challenge. If you get the first one wrong

2612
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:41,080
Speaker 1: and you get the second one right, you should get

2613
02:07:41,080 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 1: that second one back. And if you get that right,

2614
02:07:43,240 --> 02:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and if you get the third one right, you get

2615
02:07:44,600 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 1: that one back as well. That's the only fair way

2616
02:07:47,080 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 1: to do it for me. We both think that's true.

2617
02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:51,839
Speaker 1: NFL true false. It's a good one. Deshaun Watson, Texans quarterback,

2618
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:55,000
Speaker 1: should not have played against the Jaguars. You know the deal, right,

2619
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 1: And I just realized that he took a bus. He

2620
02:07:57,280 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 1: took a thirteen hour bus ride from Houston. Listen, he

2621
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:02,400
Speaker 1: did not take a bus ride. He took a tour

2622
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:07,000
Speaker 1: bus right technically railways and the smallest. He rode a bus.

2623
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 1: He took a hotel room in a he did. He

2624
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:11,120
Speaker 1: had a better trip than the other guys who took

2625
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:14,240
Speaker 1: the charter. Fight stopped overnight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. About

2626
02:08:14,240 --> 02:08:16,840
Speaker 1: halfway there, I guess had dinner, had dinner, They drove

2627
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:19,920
Speaker 1: straight through. I mean all I did should not have placed.

2628
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's been banged up more than anybody we

2629
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 1: saw it. U. This is a from USA today. No

2630
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback has been hit more than Deshaun Watson, and

2631
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 1: those hits are starting to take a toll. Nursing a bruise,

2632
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,240
Speaker 1: long and beat up ribs. Houston kept him off the

2633
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: team flight. He took a bush. And here's the USA today.

2634
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:37,360
Speaker 1: If you're not healthy enough to get on a plane,

2635
02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:40,200
Speaker 1: should you really be playing football, especially behind an offensive

2636
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:43,480
Speaker 1: line that hasn't been very effective? True? False? Watson should

2637
02:08:43,480 --> 02:08:45,520
Speaker 1: not have played against the Jaguars. I didn't say true.

2638
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Why does it say trueman screen? I say false. Let

2639
02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:51,600
Speaker 1: let the Texans decide. The Texans get to make that call.

2640
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,400
Speaker 1: No matter how you get to the game, the Texans

2641
02:08:53,440 --> 02:08:56,879
Speaker 1: should make that call. Not writers from USA today. False Watson.

2642
02:08:56,880 --> 02:09:00,160
Speaker 1: If the Jaguars think he's healthy, he's their guy, he's

2643
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:02,440
Speaker 1: their future. If they think he's healthy, he can play.

2644
02:09:02,480 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm all right with that. What do you think it's ridiculous?

2645
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cat to talk to Jay Harris, our producer,

2646
02:09:07,120 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: about that. Of course he get a play. Listen, dud,

2647
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 1: you're talking to I got shot up to practice. I

2648
02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 1: don't care if that guy's got a sword, lungs, whatever.

2649
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's got a sore heinie. You

2650
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:20,720
Speaker 1: know he's keeps play a shot up and play. Of

2651
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:22,800
Speaker 1: course he can play if he's can just because he

2652
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:24,800
Speaker 1: had to take a bus. Come on, man, you think

2653
02:09:24,800 --> 02:09:27,920
Speaker 1: he's the only guy that's uncomfortable out there or no,

2654
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure that's got that's yeah,

2655
02:09:31,760 --> 02:09:33,800
Speaker 1: you should not have to play. That's crazy. Of course

2656
02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:36,400
Speaker 1: he can play, all right. NFL True or false? Brought

02:10:47,120 --> 02:10:48,840
Speaker 1: don't have to point to the ad copy for me.

2678
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I'll get I can navigate my way around. Man, I

2679
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:53,840
Speaker 1: know it's right. I had to read that once when

2680
02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 1: you were you were outside and find it. It was hard.

2681
02:10:57,400 --> 02:11:00,240
Speaker 1: It was hard. What have we learned today? Kim Jones

2682
02:11:00,320 --> 02:11:03,120
Speaker 1: joined this from NFL Network. Talked about a lot of things.

2683
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Talked a little bit about the Bills, a little bit

2684
02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:06,600
Speaker 1: about the Jets, and a lot about the New York Giants.

2685
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 1: She talked about the possibility of Eli Manning maybe being traded.

2686
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:15,080
Speaker 1: Just to make one thing clear, Eli Manning has a

2687
02:11:15,160 --> 02:11:18,520
Speaker 1: no trade close. Okay, so the Giants has any other

2688
02:11:18,520 --> 02:11:21,360
Speaker 1: team in the league, can you know, quote once or

2689
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:25,080
Speaker 1: think or try to do anything in the world. This

2690
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:28,160
Speaker 1: would come down to Eli Manning, who's given no hint

2691
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 1: along the way that he wants to do anything but

2692
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:33,000
Speaker 1: being New York Giants, so he'd have to improve it. Yeah,

2693
02:11:33,080 --> 02:11:35,960
Speaker 1: so this would all be in Eli pans, assuming that

2694
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:39,440
Speaker 1: a team would want, you know, to take him on,

2695
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:43,800
Speaker 1: and the salary and everything else. Kim Jones talking about

2696
02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:46,600
Speaker 1: the Giants and Eli Manning. Also today, Peter King from

2697
02:11:46,600 --> 02:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America. We talked about Mike Rabel's decision

2698
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:51,560
Speaker 1: with the Titans to go for two at the end

2699
02:11:51,560 --> 02:11:53,520
Speaker 1: of the game. They did not make it, they'd lost

2700
02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 1: the game, and Peter King supports that decision. Here's what

2701
02:11:56,120 --> 02:12:00,880
Speaker 1: he had to say. The fifty eight percent chance that

2702
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:03,200
Speaker 1: you're going to make a two point play and the

2703
02:12:03,320 --> 02:12:06,360
Speaker 1: and the key is then you ask yourself this question.

2704
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:09,880
Speaker 1: If Los Angeles gets the ball, if they win the

2705
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:12,960
Speaker 1: tops to start overtime, Okay, are we even going to

2706
02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:15,400
Speaker 1: see the ball? So it's all a part of it,

2707
02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, I would rather take the shot

2708
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:21,400
Speaker 1: of getting one yard to try to win and end

2709
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:23,960
Speaker 1: the game right there that I would be of going

2710
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 1: for the tie and then risking in overtime. Maybe you

2711
02:12:27,120 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: don't even see the ball. Yeah, I don't buy it.

2712
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 1: See what did you think? We didn't really talk about

2713
02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:35,000
Speaker 1: that yet today, did we. Yeah, I'm not throwing it.

2714
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing yard with a running quarterback. There's a

2715
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:44,000
Speaker 1: ton of I would never throw the football on that

2716
02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: because there are too many bad things can happen in

2717
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:50,800
Speaker 1: a short amount of time. I just man, I'd get

2718
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,720
Speaker 1: a whole list of plays. You can put a guy

2719
02:12:53,720 --> 02:12:56,320
Speaker 1: like Kyle William's end at quarterback, snap him the ball

2720
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:57,880
Speaker 1: and let him hand it off, or run it in

2721
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:00,600
Speaker 1: and get a misdirection. You get three hundred wounders out there.

2722
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:02,920
Speaker 1: They gotta match you or whatever. You know, there's a

2723
02:13:02,920 --> 02:13:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of really good athletes. There's a ton of creative

2724
02:13:05,640 --> 02:13:07,640
Speaker 1: stuff you can do in the red zone and never

2725
02:13:07,720 --> 02:13:10,200
Speaker 1: throw the football. And I just don't think teams take

2726
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 1: it take it seriously. So in that case, yeah, I'd

2727
02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:14,160
Speaker 1: go for it, but I wouldn't throw it. We have

2728
02:13:14,240 --> 02:13:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun today getting your memories about Monday

2729
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:19,320
Speaker 1: night football games in Orchard Park. This will be the

2730
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:22,040
Speaker 1: sixteenth Monday night football game in Orchard Park over the years.

2731
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you think the leaders were?

2732
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:26,520
Speaker 1: The Bills Raiders, the second ever Monday night football game here.

2733
02:13:26,800 --> 02:13:29,480
Speaker 1: It's memorable, but it's an awful memory the Cowboys loss

2734
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:31,920
Speaker 1: back in the two thousand and seven. Yeah, you're a

2735
02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:33,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a prisoner to the people who actually

2736
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 1: remember and go to these games too, you know, because

2737
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:37,720
Speaker 1: there's you know, not too many guys that remember that

2738
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:41,200
Speaker 1: first one and that are that are regular radio listeners,

2739
02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, besides you and me. You don't you know

2740
02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:47,080
Speaker 1: what I mean there. That's a generational thing, right and

2741
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:49,839
Speaker 1: U and some people remember the teams and not the games.
