5
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with the start of a new week. We

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: can't figure out how many weeks this is, Steve. We've

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: we've lost track of how long we've been doing this

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: now from home. Well, we never really took We didn't

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be doing it this long for I

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: don't think at that time. It was stupid back then,

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: but we really didn't and we didn't really note exactly

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: what day we started on. So we're having some controversy

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: here off the air about when we actually started. You

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and I started on a Wednesday. I think with Wednesday,

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: March eighteen, I do, I really, I thought it was

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: a week before, like the eleventh, But I don't know.

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Had I had a trip that we

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: just got back from right when it hit, Like we

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: left we were in Florida for the weekend and it

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: hit and we got out of Florida when Florida got

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: its very first case, right, So I don't know whether

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: the shutdown came during that week or right then as

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: we got in, like the first couple of days. All right,

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: I got it here, um Wednesday or Monday. March sixteenth

00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: some stuff done. It was a horrible weekend weatherwise. It

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: was snowing off and on. It was like it went

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: from sunshine in my backyard too, literally a white out,

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and it did that cycle like three times g whiteouts

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: and three sun splashes of sunshine in the backyard. And

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: that was on Saturday, and then um, you know, Sunday,

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: we just kind of hung out and it was raining

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: and stuff. So we're I'm ready for this to Brian

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: think this is the week though, this is the final

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: week of kind of crutty weather. It's gonna get It's

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: still gonna rain, but it's gonna be warmer. Can I

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: get to guarantee you that, please? I guarantee you that

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: someday it's gonna get warmer, but it may never stop. Yeah. No,

50
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: I'm starting to lose hope. I know, I almost did.

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I almost don't care anymore. Saturday, we had to take

52
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: my mother in law to uh halfway to Jersey for

53
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: a little family rotation. She's gonna send some time in Jersey.

54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: So my wife and I came back and went to

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: Kuka Lake Finger Lakes. Drove through a couple of snowstorms

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: on the way back to get there, and I mean seriously,

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: white out snowstorms, you know, on country roads. It was

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: a little bit unnerving, and I said, you know, what

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the hell of then I'm gonna fish. So I fished

60
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: at Kuka Lake for a little bit in the snow

61
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: froze like he gonna place there right or is it

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: just go someplace? I went to a couple. I went

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: to the state park, and then I have some friend

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: to let me use their dock. But it didn't matter.

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I didn't catch anything, but it was freezing. I was fishing.

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: It was peaceful. I got to see the snowfall. There's

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Snobody's going, yeah, you're gonna yeah, when you do stuff

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: like that, you're gonna be alone, Murphy alone. I'm okay.

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I just didn't it was it just was freezing. I

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: couldn't take it. Was it like went Was it like

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: a quiet soft snow or was it one of those blowing?

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: It was blowing. So I went from one side of

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: the east branch of the lake to the other to

74
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: get out the wind. And so the second place the

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: wind stopped and it was a little born manageable, but

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: still it was cold and it was smelling, and it

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: was weird. It was a weird day. I said, coming home,

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, we're driving home and just looking at the sky.

79
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: Saturday was one of the weirdest weather weather days I

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: can ever remember. You know what I mean? It was.

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, every five minutes you had it never got warm,

82
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: but every five minutes you had a different kind of

83
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: weather to deal with. Sometimes it was sunny, sometimes it

84
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: was ridiculous clowns, or a couple of times the clouns

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be a tornado, and

86
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: it was windy. It was just a weird day, weird day.

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: It was horror. It was a horrible day, you know.

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: And it's yeah, it was horrible. And we had we

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: had a work day schedule. I had a couple of

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: my boys coming over, my son, our sons came over

91
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: with their families. And you know, I told you months

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: ago that this tree started falling over in my house.

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: You know, I got this big cotton wood. It came down,

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: and I got one of these big branches laying it

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: was looking at me for months, right because I couldn't

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: get out there, right. So finally I started going out

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: and I started chopping that thing up. And before I

98
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: even got through the process of chopping it up, the

99
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: wind came up and blew the rest of this tree.

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: So I got this like nine ton tree. Literally it's

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: more than three feet across at the bottom right, it's huge.

102
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: So this trunk, this stump is like three and a

103
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: half feet tall sticking out of the ground. So I've

104
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: been chopping this piece of wood up bit by bit,

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: splitting it and putting it, and so we started burning

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: it on Saturday. Well, as you just mentioned that, it

107
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: was like what are you doing burning it? We had

108
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: this huge bonfire going and this white It was the

109
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: weirdest thing. Usually do that in the summer or the spring,

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: but this was like a winter's day and we got

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: this huge bonfire going. We we had scheduled this, so

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: my sons had made time for this, so we couldn't

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: like not do it because I needed the manpower. And

114
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: so we sent spit out there all day for hours,

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: tending this fire, trying to burn all this wood that

116
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: fell over in my yard. Right, so it was just

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: and it was freezing. Usually, you know, you have a

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: couple of pops and some cigars while you watch this

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: thing burn. I didn't want to do that, right, and

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: it was like ugh. So so we're all covered completely

121
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: covered in mud. There's you know, the wind is whipping

122
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: through that thing, keeping its stoke force. But that was

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: about the only benefit we got out of it. It's

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: one of those days we had a huge work day

125
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: and we had to still do it, even though the

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: weather was horrific. So it's kind of a roller coaster.

127
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: It was kind of nice to be there, but you know,

128
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: we had stuff we had to get done. But man,

129
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: oh man, what a day. The weather was plus and

130
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: the weather changed every couple of minutes. That's what drove

131
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: me crazy. You know, every five minutes you a different

132
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: weather set to deal with. Almost I was on the

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: five President's Loop, you know, the pret test loop with

134
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Jim Thurman and Bruce Andrea Biscuit and those guys Will

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: Wolford and Daryl Tallet, and I said, listen, Thurmo was

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: texting pictures of his back deck. It was covered in snow,

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: and I said, look, I am the biggest West fan

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: of Western New York ever, but really, I like, forget it,

139
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: what is it going on here? This is the worst.

140
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Even I the you know, Oscar Optimist was just bumming

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday. They were all and then of course Corney

142
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: has been it from Florida. He's they're chiming in with

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: their little palm trees and there, you know, stuff going

144
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: on down there. I was bitter. I was really a

145
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: bitter camper on Saturday. Oh it was bad. It was bad.

146
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: It was bad, but it's over. And now the weather's

147
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: just stinks. I mean, there's no changeable that, right. We

148
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: went from changing every five minutes tot, I got the

149
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: weather's been the same cold. And have you mowed your

150
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: lawn yet? No? I was going to just too wack. Yeah,

151
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna mow the parts that I could. So

00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: on that thing. Get on. It's a big, zero turned thing,

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: completely dead as he got no chance. That was the

157
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: thing was like a you know, four thousand pound piece

158
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: of junk right now. So I gotta and so I

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta run down somebody who can help

160
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: me with that, which I am no chance. So my

161
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: lawn is looking like a hay field right now. And uh,

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's starting. I gotta both of you,

163
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: and I can tell is starting to wear on us

164
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. First, you know, we gotta you know,

165
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: we're fortunate ones because we got a job to do.

166
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: We can work from home. We're doing our thing. But

167
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: it's I can it's starting to wear a little bit

168
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a little frustrated, starting to get

169
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: little frustrated. How do you feel about the next three hours?

170
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Can you pull it together for three hours here? I think?

171
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: So the schedule comes out, we got lots to talk

172
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: about with that. We got some you know, good guests

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: coming on today to help us out. But um, I'm glad,

174
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,000

175
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm I was glad to be back to talking to

176
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: you because I think I can commiserate a little bit.

177
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: We can't. We can't. We're not gonna wallow in self pity,

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: but we can talk about it. I mean we I

179
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: don't want to do the what self pity because we

180
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: have the last people that need to have any self

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: pity about what, you know, what our lives are. So

182
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: we're healthy, we are happy, and yeah, we're good. Hey, uh,

183
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about the bills in the NFL,

184
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: and we welcome you to join us. Eight oh three

185
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: five fifty to three one eight eight eight five fifty

186
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: two five fifties. Steve's had a couple of good guests

187
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: coming up at one o'clock. Raiders reported Vincent, Vinnie Bond,

188
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Signori Can I call him Benny? You think that's his

189
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Twitter him Jay reach out Jays call him Benny. I'm

190
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna call him Benny. Bennie bon Signori from the Las

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Vegas newspaper is going to join us to talk about

192
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders. How is the stadium coming? How are they

193
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna play games if they have to without any people

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I don't think they'll lose money, but

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: that'll be different, right, So many people want to go

196
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas to see their team play in Sin

197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: City and maybe they won't be able to write Ben

198
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: coming up at one you're gonna ask him too. It

199
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: makes sense because we've heard, you know, because of the shutdown,

200
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, the construction might have had to stop, right

201
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: because they were gonna worried now, particularly in La that

202
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: they were going to be able to get that stadium open. Right.

203
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: But if they can't have stands in the fans anyway,

204
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: all they really need are camera stations for the cameras,

205
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: the locker rooms in the field. That's it, yeah, right.

206
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: They don't have to have the stands ready, or the

207
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: sweets ready, or the carpet laid, or the monitor TV

208
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: monitors in or any of that stuff. All they need

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: really is just you know, the communication from the press

210
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: box to the field for the coach's box and the

211
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: field in the locker rooms. That's that's all they need,

212
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: so they really don't have to have the finishing touches on. Right.

213
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I read something this morning that's what's the stadium in

214
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: the La the ram Sofi Stadium. I think they had

215
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: their grand opening or ribbon cutting this past weekend, so

216
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,359
Speaker 1: they're really getting close to having that ready to go. Yeah,

217
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: I think I read that any recent pictures of us,

218
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: it looked good. I knew it's been looking. I don't

219
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: getting finished, but I think they cut a ribbon or

220
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: something this weekend. Allegian Stadium right as a stadium in

221
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and they say that should be open um

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: finished for fans. I don't know. I do think their

223
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: their goal is to have it available for fans. And

224
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: the question, by the way, Maddy Glam's coming by it too,

225
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: we should mention that she is going to be joining us.

226
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: The question of you know, open for fans, not open

227
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: for fans, Peter King, you know, it's funny there was

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: a time, maybe it was just during the course of

229
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the season when I got out of the habit of

230
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: reading Peter King on Monday morning. But lately, with all

231
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: of the uncertainty about the future of the NFL, the

232
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: last couple of Mondays, his Football Morning in America has

233
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: been required week reading. And this week Peter King talked

234
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: to doctor Anthony Faucci, the director of the National Institute

235
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Remember of the White House

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: task Force. Some interesting stuff, not all of it positive,

237
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: by the way. I don't know if you saw the Steve.

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Faucci says football might be the perfect setup to spread

239
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, just because of the contact between players, because

240
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: of fans in the stands. He says, diligent testing and

241
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: how the nation might respond to a second wave will

242
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: determine what the NFL season would look like. There is

243
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: still time, and Fauchi says the virus will make the

244
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: decision for us. Nobody was saying. Nobody is saying at

245
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: this point four months until the opener, no fans, half fans,

246
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: one quarter fans. Nobody is saying, no stadium, wait until October.

247
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying that because, as doctor Fauci explains, it's too

248
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: early and let's way, he say. Peter King actually pointed

249
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: this out two months ago. Things are pretty normal, and

250
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: look how much you're not to eat, right, Look how

251
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: much you changed in two months. So two months from

252
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: now would be early July, still time to play an

253
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: NFL schedule. And this is not wishful thinking, but I'm

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: just the point I'm trying to make is there's a

255
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: lot that could happen and has to happen both ways

256
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: to make any decisions about what to do about the

257
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: NFL right now, it's too early. Yeah, it is too early,

258
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: and things change so fast and so rapidly. It seems

259
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: like day to day it moves like the glacier. But

260
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: you think about it, You're right. Two months ago was

261
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and we were in a very

262
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: different place now. I don't think we'll climb out of

263
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: it as fast as we sunk into it, right, But

264
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: still two months is a long time, and that gives

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: us some hope that things will be in a place

266
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: where at least something can happen that is positive. On

267
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: the side of the NFL. You know that they can

268
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: get some games in some how, get a preseason, get

269
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: the training camp, just get things rolling. In a way

270
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: that will allow them to test properly, to quarantine properly.

271
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: But this, the fact of the matter is, and we've

272
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: all heard it. If you get these teams together and

273
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: they start practicing, start playing, and somebody starts testing positive

274
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: for it, man, that brings everything to a screeching hal quick.

275
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Doctor Fouci talked about that, and Peter King as well,

276
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: and you know, Peter King is thrown up, um kind

277
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: of what if this? What if that? And uh, for instance,

278
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: how much testing should football teams do? Ideally you'd want

279
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: to test people every day. You can't do that, you know,

280
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: you use up all the tests in the United States.

281
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: But maybe they could do twice a week. And Fouch,

282
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: you said, what hold on this thing? Start that again? Murph,

283
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: I lost you. Yeah, Fauci said about testing. It's it's

284
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: an important issue testing, right and Vouch you know, testing

285
00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: for for the coronavirus, and Foult she said, ideally, you know,

286
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: you would test uh twice a week, you know, and

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: maybe you test, you know, Saturday night. And as Peter

288
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: King points out, if you get to a situation where

289
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: a guy test positive on Saturday night before a game,

290
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: then maybe, uh, maybe you don't put that guy's out

291
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: of the game. You can't have him play if he

292
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: test positive for coronavirus. So can you imagine? And there's

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: another And maybe this wasn't in Peter King's. Somebody else

294
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: positive this. Uh maybe I think it was Albert Greer

295
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: maybe this morning wrote that if you got a short

296
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: trip to play a road game, for instance, bills that

297
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: Patriots Bills at Jets, maybe you don't go in the

298
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: night before. Why put everybody in a hotel and risk that.

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you fly in at seven o'clock in the morning

300
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: game day, you know, go to the stadium, get dressed, play,

301
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: fly home. That would be a solution. I think, right, yeah,

302
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: I get games. I thought that was that was pretty

303
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: ingenious too. I hadn't really thought about that, but it's true,

304
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: Um he said. And I think he did like week one,

305
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: or he picked a week I don't know what it was.

306
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: But ten of the games were exactly that scenario, a

307
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: little less than a less than a two hour flight, uh,

308
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of them even shorter than that.

309
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: Uh you give Buffalo to New York, I mean, what

310
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: is that a fifty minute flight? Murph Wheels, Wheel Wheels

311
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: up to touchdown. Right. Yeah, so, uh, it would be different,

312
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: no question, it would be unusual. But I don't know

313
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: if it's that out of the question. You know, I

314
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: think with the with the sports science guys, they'd have

315
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: the players stay hydrated, get them ready, their body clocks

316
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: get ready. They could they could prepare for it. Guys

317
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: hop off the plane, get on the bus, go over

318
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: to the stadium and play. It might work. And if

319
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: and you know what, and I know it's not optimal.

320
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: I know it's a sacrifice for for the visiting team

321
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: to have to do that without on you maybe not

322
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: on proper rest or whatever, but you know, sacrifices are

323
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to be made. Man, That's all there is

324
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: to it. If if that's what it takes, it may

325
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: be the thing to do. It makes some sense to me.

326
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: It's not perfect, but it wouldn't make it possible. Now,

327
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: the problem, obviously for the Bill schedule is they're not

328
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: all the short trips. And certainly other teams can say

329
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: this as well, but those are gonna have to fly

330
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas, They're gonna have to fly to Arizona,

331
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: have to fly to San Francisco and Denver. This year.

332
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: Those are the longer trips in Miami, by the way,

333
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: which is two hour flight, So those wouldn't be ideal

334
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: for well, you couldn't do a single day trips same

335
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: day trips for those. Many of those trips we'll see, right,

336
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: it would be it would be the jets here opening

337
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: week then the bill. You could make that trip to

338
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: Miami in one day. I think I don't know that's

339
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: is that a two two and a half hours? Maybe two? Yeah,

340
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: maybe you start earlier whatever, But see the next thing.

341
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Weeks four and five are at Vegas and at Tennessee.

342
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Now Tennessee is a short trip, but Vegas is not.

343
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: That's a problem. But it's a four to twenty five

344
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: game too, you know, out there be a long day,

345
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: but it could possibly do it. You could possibly do it.

346
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: But beyond this, I fout you talked about testing players,

347
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, and that's beyond the you know, you'd have

348
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: to test players. You'd want to test them Saturday night

349
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: before the game, if they're going to play on Sunday,

350
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: and if they test positive, they're out, and you know,

351
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: they're out for fourteen days. Got to be quarantined for

352
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: fourteen days. Multiple tests per week would be most effective.

353
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: We'll see. Anyway, They've got time here. That's the important

354
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: thing to keep in mind. They've got time. The regular

355
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: season overall for the league begins Thursday, September tenth, Chief's

356
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: host Houston, the Bills and other teams starts Sunday, September thirteenth.

357
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Vauci's quote is right now, there's too much infection for

358
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: there to be a season. But he went on to say,

359
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: but I would hope that by the time you get

360
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to September it's not going to be the way it

361
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: is right now. And is that hopeful? Is I guess

362
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: it is? That's hopeful? Right? Who knows how it's gonna

363
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: wind up. I don't know, right, I don't know either,

364
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: But it's but right now we can kind of sit

365
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: tight and wait and try and make sure that we,

366
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of get to us good at

367
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: place as we can, with all of each of us

368
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: contributing what little bit we can each by staying healthy.

369
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I guess, I don't know, staying separate. It's there's so

370
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: much that's out of our control, and the lot of

371
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: us like you and me, Murph, we talk about this

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: every day, but man, oh, man, we're sitting at five

373
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: hundred miles away from where the decisions made. You know,

374
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: we're we're a little bit just a hair down the

375
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: food chain. So just like everybody else, right, and and

376
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of it doesn't have it. It's not going

377
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: to be football people who make the call either, you know,

378
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: So the virus, according to Fauchi, he's right, the virus

379
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: will determine what happens. You know what else I thought,

380
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: you know how we've been saying for what seven or

381
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: eight weeks now, how the NFL was fortunate, and they

382
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: have been fortunate. They haven't had to cancel games yet,

383
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: they haven't had to take on the reasonable measures. They

384
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: got the draft in, they got free agency in, they

385
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: had the schedule release. But as the season approaches, and

386
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: if things don't change for the better by them, which

387
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: they could, there's time to do that the NFL maybe

388
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: will be unfortunate and that the NFL, among all the sports,

389
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: might be the most physical, the most contact. It features

390
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: probably the most contact player versus player, you know what

391
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: I mean. Fauci was talking about this a little bit,

392
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: and it's not sweat. You can transmit the disease. But

393
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody sneezes, or if somebody blows their

394
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: nose or you know, wipes their hand on their jersey

395
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and somebody else next play hits them in the jersey,

396
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: which happens, as a matter of course, it's supposed to

397
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: happen all of a sudden. That is transmission, transmission of disease.

398
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: So as lucky as the NFL is now when it

399
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: comes to being able to play the games again four

400
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: months away, they might not be as lucky when that happens.

401
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: That's just right. There's so much that could there's a

402
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: lot that needs to go right, and there's not much

403
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: that would go wrong that wouldn't derail the whole process.

404
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's a very fragile progress,

405
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: and it's a very fragile you know, improvement, and you know,

406
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: a couple of setbacks. Mantle Man, you can bring down

407
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: the whole industry of professional sports. That's all it takes.

408
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: We saw that in basketball when they finally when they

409
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: how fast they shut down. One team had played This

410
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: is basketball, not football. One team had played a couple

411
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: of others, and mantle Man, it's spread through them like wildfire.

412
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: They had to shut the whole league down quick. Yeah,

413
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: remember how fast that happened. And and so it's the

414
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: you know it'd be the same in football as well.

415
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: It's so fragile, the progress you make when you get

416
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: this thing under control. And that's from the very beginning.

417
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: That's been the problem with this coronavirus is that it

418
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: is so so contagious, um, and it spreads so easily.

419
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: That's been the crusher from the beginning. And of course,

420
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: as Fauci points out, um, you know there's no telling

421
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: what it'll be like in four months when the season begins.

422
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: All you brought up pro basketball? Did you watch any

423
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: of the Michael Jordan's show, Steve, I know you got

424
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: you gotta catch it. It's really Mother's Day. It was

425
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Mother's Day. Chick flick, you know, I mean, you know,

426
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: so I was out. Here's the thing. Let me give

427
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: you my amateur review. And I see what people are saying.

428
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: My wife said it last night. You watch a little

429
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: bit on Mother's Day, No chicks, look at our house.

430
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: We watched Michael jordan last dance. But she's right. They

431
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: bounced around too much. And others have said that too.

432
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: They bounced around from ninety eight ninety eight, back to

433
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: ninety five, then they go forward a little bit, and

434
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: then they go back to ninety three, and they tell

435
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: you when they're bouncing. But still you kind of you

436
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: have to yourself assemble what that career was like, because

437
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm not saying everything always has to be you know,

438
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: has to be one of my looking very sequential or

439
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: has to be in line. But it's just hard to

440
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: bounce that much. Number two, I think there's two more parts, right,

441
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Ten parts doesn't end parts. It doesn't need to be

442
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: that well. I mean, I'm watching last night and there's

443
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: interesting stuff, and there's behind the scenes stuff that I've

444
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: never seen before, and some great you know Michael Jordan

445
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: all access stuff. Yes he swears, and you know they

446
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: talk normally as if the cameras aren't there. But I

447
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: don't know, ten parts, Maybe six parts will be enough

448
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: because we're kind of recycling a lot of what goes on. Now.

449
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: That's what I don't like about it, I'm telling you, though,

450
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: it reaffirms my belief that Michael Jordan was maybe it's

451
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: the most competitive athlete of all kinds. I mean, he

452
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: just was so competitive about everything. You know, he quit

453
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: basketball and they dealt with this last night with the

454
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: baseball years. And he went and played Double A baseball

455
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: for Birmingham and he quit basketball. His father had just

456
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: been murdered like six months before. He had done everything

457
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: he wanted to do in the NBA at that point,

458
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: and he'd always wanted to be a baseball player, and he,

459
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, he had a good year. It drove in

460
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: fifty runs, hit two oh two, which is not great,

461
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: but and this was at the Double A level. He

462
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't start at rookie ball at age thirty one. He

463
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: started a Double A level because they couldn't. They said

464
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: they had to start him there because they couldn't handle

465
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: the media at the smaller venues on the smaller cities.

466
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: And just to get to that level, to hit two

467
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: o two, the drive in fifty runs in his first

468
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: year of competitive professional baseball is pretty amazing. Jerry Ransdorff,

469
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: owner of the White Stocks then and the and the

470
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, said, I have no doubt that had Michael

471
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: And actually you know who I said this, um, what's

472
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: his name? The manager of the Cleveland Indians, Terry Anyway,

473
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: Frank Cohna. He said, if he would have played two

474
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: more years, he would have made major League baseball. That's

475
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: how good he was. That's how dedicated he wasn't how

476
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: competitive he was. He was determined to be that good,

477
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: and he put his mind to baseball for a year

478
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: and it worked for him for a year. Yeah, and

479
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: he probably would have gotten to major League baseball because

480
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: if for nothing else, they would have brought him up

481
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: when he got, you know, good enough to put him

482
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: on the twenty put him on the major league roster

483
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: at twenty six, the number twenty six spots, you know,

484
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: and just have him around, maybe get him in, sprinkle

485
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: him in. That would bring people to the stands. I mean,

486
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: it would be really yeah. Yeah, But they said that

487
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: wasn't what was going on, and he wouldn't let that happen,

488
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: they said. Frank ConA and the Rheinsdorf both said he

489
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: was legit. He was a legitimate player of The hitting

490
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: coach for Birmingham back then talked about how often he

491
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: took batting practice just to make himself a player. Yeah,

492
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: he was legit. I saw an interview with some of

493
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: his teammates from back then, you know, the guys that

494
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: did or didn't make the I didn't recognize any of

495
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: the names. Some of them they were all baseball players

496
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: for whatever, and they said, what the way he attacked

497
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: it worked. You know, come in early, stay late, and

498
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: take extra back, get extra hitting. Um. He really set

499
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: a stay, even for those guys who were baseball players,

500
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: about how to work and how to get better. UM

501
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: something they you know, raise some eyebrows with these young

502
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: or these not all were young in Double A, but

503
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: you know younger than Michael for sure. UM really opened

504
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: their eyes as to how hard he worked. And you know,

505
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: it called on And that's the way leadership is it.

506
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: When you see that guy doing it, it calls you

507
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: to match that effort. And that's some of why Michael

508
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: was so such a great leader is that, you know,

509
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: he set the standard with his own hard work. UM.

510
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: I was reading all the reviews of the Last Dance

511
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: last night and Will Purdue was quoted in and he said,

512
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, don't don't kid yourself. Michael was a jerk.

513
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: They crossed the line badly a lot. But when years later,

514
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: when you look back and you see what he was

515
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: trying to do, he's a heck of a teammate. From

516
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: putting that out there, Yeah, he was willing to be

517
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: a bad person to elevate the play of everybody on

518
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: the roster. The boy he would confront them and push

519
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: their buttons and everybody all the way down the roster.

520
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: And he was not nice, right, And he like they say,

521
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the players will say, he crossed the line of you know,

522
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: fellowship and friendship and competitive Now he crossed lines. But

523
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: he did it so that those guys would get better.

524
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: And you know, six championships later, it's hard to argue

525
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: with the results. He talked about that a little bit.

526
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: How he knows, he what you know? The guy asked him,

527
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: you ever do in the interview? Were you a nice guy?

528
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Not a nice guy? And Michael, to his credit now

529
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: at age what fifty five or whatever he is now,

530
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: he got choked up. He got choked up explaining it.

531
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: And one interesting story. Steve Kerr, right, who you know,

532
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: is a dedicated player now coaches Golden State Warriors, won

533
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: a couple of NBA titles with them. He was a

534
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: good player, played really good college basketball and was the

535
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: Chicago bull When Michael came back from baseball, Steve Kerr

536
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: a couple of others were new additions to the Bulls. Roster,

537
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: and Jordan thought, who are these guys? They weren't with

538
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: us some we won championships, and so he decided to

539
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: push those guys. He got into a fist five Steve

540
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: Kerr at of both practice once and Kerr had him first.

541
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: Kurs said he maybe he said something. He made me

542
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: so mad I hit him. And then Michael, you know,

543
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: clocked him in the face. I don't know, he didn't

544
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: knock him out, but he hit him in the face.

545
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: But I mean it was real. He was not nice

546
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: to his teammates, and he thought it and he talked

547
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: about it, got choked up, saying it wasn't my job

548
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: to be nice to my teammates. It was my job

549
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: to push him. And he did just a competitive guy man. Look,

550
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: and again I find fault with the last dance. I

551
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: think it's too drawn out. It's too long. They're too

552
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: much jumping around from ear to ear a year to year. Okay,

553
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for an insight into what made

554
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan tick, there's nothing better than this. And I

555
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: will repeat and I'm including, yeah, well I'm gonna ask

556
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: you in a minute, but football, baseball, basketball, hockey, whatever sport,

557
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's anybody who's been more competitive wanted

558
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: to win more than Michael Jordan. Now, Steve, tell me

559
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: who was your teammate who was Look, you're all competitive

560
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I know that to be where you are,

561
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: you have to be you have to be competitor. But

562
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: was there somebody who was just over the top and

563
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: you thought maybe kind of jumped the shark a little

564
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: bit like Tom down, you know, we're gonna get there.

565
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: This is practice. Anybody like that that you played with,

566
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: I can see you thinking, Yeah, there was a couple

567
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: of guys that were in there. They were all great.

568
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: Thurman was the one that comes to mind is Thurman.

569
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: He worked hard in practice and was vocal and would

570
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: call guy and would call guys out once in a

571
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: while for for not working harder, doing the right thing.

572
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: He would talk to his offensive lineman constantly. He knew

573
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: and this was the brilliance of Thurman. He knew on

574
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: a play going to the right, who missed their block

575
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: on the back side, um, and he you know, he says, hey,

576
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: you gotta get there, you gotta do this, you gotta

577
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: do that. He was and I remember this too. They

578
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: used to have to deliberately sit Thurman down in practice

579
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: to give him rest. You know, you give him bet

580
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Veterans day these days. You know, it wasn't that common

581
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: back then. And the training stats says, and we need

582
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: the Thurman needs to have a break today. Otherwise Thurman

583
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't take a break. He showed up all the time.

584
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: And of course Bruce was notorious for skipping training camp.

585
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't want to practice. He'd stay in

586
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: shape on his own. He'd get that on the StairMaster,

587
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: he'd do all the stuff. He'd show up in great shape.

588
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: All he wouldn't play much football. Thurman never, never did

589
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: not practice. And I mean I went back, you know back,

590
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: and you know all those old guys you watch while

591
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: you're on the treadmill or on the StairMaster or the

592
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: elliptical or whatever you're working out, you watch old games, right,

593
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: I used to, and I used to. I used to

594
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: blow my mind the beating and the work course that

595
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: Thurman was. I mean, he was like a two hundred

596
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: and fifty carry a year back. It seemed like I

597
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: don't know how many carries he got a year, but

598
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: he was leading. He led the league in yards from

599
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: scrimmage before straight years. First guy'd ever do that when

600
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: he would never misspractice when he was jumping on his

601
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: teammates in practice, anybody ever talked back to him and

602
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: say shut the hell up him now? No, in fact,

603
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: because he was right. Other leaders like Jim, Darryl Talley, Cornelius,

604
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: they would go to the guy who wherever he got

605
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: on and quiet and say, hey, yeah, come on, pick

606
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: it up. They would confirm what Thurman said, you know

607
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. They were on Derman's side. So it

608
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: was it was. Jim was a hard they were all

609
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: the great Galbos Hall of Famers were the hardest working

610
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: guys there. That's why that team was SiO. That's why.

611
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: That's why it worked with Michael Jordan, he's the best

612
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: guy on the floor and he worked the hardest. Yeah,

613
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: that's why it was on our team. The best guys,

614
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: all those Hall of Famers, they were the hardest workers.

615
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: They raised the level of everybody. One more question about

616
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: this interesting phenomenon. I guess the bickering bills. There's a

617
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: fine line between what you describe, which no one would

618
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: really object to, and the bickering bills, isn't there. I mean,

619
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: the bickering bills began when Jim Kelly called out Howard

620
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Valler for missing a block. What's the difference between him

621
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: doing that and Thurman doing what he did? Well, you

622
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: don't need to do it in the media circle. There

623
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: go and plus and plus I mean Jim was Jim

624
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: had some problems early on and knowing how to handle

625
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: himself in front of the media and in front of

626
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: the cameras. He would say things without thinking through what

627
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: the ramifications were. So he goes out and calls out Howard,

628
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: and he didn't realize at that time. He didn't realize

629
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: every other guy in the locker room now has to

630
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: be asked by the media, what do you think about

631
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: what Jim said about your teammate? You know, So it's

632
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: like this huge headache for the entire locker room. And

633
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: Thurman was correct and saying, listen, you know, we all

634
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: shoulder this burden, right. He called Jim out for being

635
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: a bad teammate in that instance, and he was right,

636
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: and Jim, to his credit, said that you know what,

637
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: You're right, I apologize and but um, there's a lot

638
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: of animosity there between those guys because they were all

639
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: great players. They all wanted to win, and they didn't

640
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: know how to call each other out. They hadn't learned to,

641
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, how to call each other out without how

642
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: to hit in the media, right, because they weren't really

643
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: great friends at that time. And then as the time

644
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: went on, when they decided, when they started becoming basically,

645
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: when they earned each other's respect, then things got better

646
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: and they started to talk away from football and they

647
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: started to cultivate a friendship out of respect for one another.

648
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: And then is when the team really spread its wings

649
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: and they started they started being it, and they held

650
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: each other accountable in the same way they did in

651
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: the media. But it was out of a place of

652
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: affection and love and respect and all of that. It

653
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: wasn't from across the locker room from somebody didn't really like,

654
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: which it was at the time of the bickering bills right. Interesting,

655
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you the Jordan's show, the Last Dance,

656
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: it's revealing of Jordan's character, how competitive he was, and

657
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: I must say, what a good guy he was. There

658
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: was one incident where one of his teammates had friends

659
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room. One of the guys in a

660
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: wheelchair and Michael came in signing autographs, busting the guy's chops.

661
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean he was great. He was great. But you know,

662
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a teammate with him, he

663
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: would ask you to He wouldn't ask you. He would

664
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: demand that you be accountable, which I guess it was

665
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: important at the time. I see it. Hey, we're way

666
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: off target here, way off time and way off topic.

667
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: We got an interesting Twitter poll today. So the schedule

668
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: is out, and now you begin to think of matchups

669
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: and not just Bills versus Patriots, Bills versus Dolphins, but

670
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: Bill's player versus this player on the other team, or

671
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Bills unit versus this player. What's the matchup you're most

672
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to scene on this year's bill schedule? What

673
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: is it? Is it Stefan Diggs versus Stefan Gilmour, the

674
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: Battle of the Stefans. That'll be interesting, right, Bills versus Patriots?

675
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: Is it the Buffalo defense against Pat Mahomes in the

676
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. That'll be a big test for Buffalo

677
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: that Thursday night game early on? Could it be Josh

678
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: Allen in the Buffalo offense against the forty nine Yers defense?

679
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: Number one defense in the NFL last year. They're playing

680
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: some good defenses. That won't be the only test for

681
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: johsh Yellen says something else. What's the matchup you're most

682
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to scene on this year's schedule? Give us

734
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: schedule came out on a Thursday, I saw the date

735
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: for Las Vegas, I booked a direct flight. There's direct

736
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: flights out of Hamilton, by the way, and yeah, and

737
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: relatively cheap too. But anyway, Um, so I got that

738
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: all taken care of and ed. When are you going?

739
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: You're on like Friday night for a Sunday game. What

740
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: are you doing exactly? It was Friday night to Tuesday.

741
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: Oh okay. And what will you do besides go to

742
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: the Bill's Raiders game in Las Vegas? Oh? Probably a

743
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: little gambling. Oh yes, of course you're going to Las Vegas.

744
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: That's good, Ted. Congratulations. Now I know you got more

745
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: things to tell us, but I want to ask you

746
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: a couple of questions. The uncertainty, I mean, who knows

747
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: if that game will be played that is week four.

748
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: Maybe it gets moved, maybe it gets eliminated. Are you

749
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: okay with that? And how did you handle that when

750
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: you were booking flights in hotels and stuff? Yeah, well

751
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: that's the rest of my story. Okay, go ahead, Hey,

752
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. But the problem is, and you

753
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: can ask a writer from Las Vegas when he's on later,

754
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: is so when I went to book a hotel and

755
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: you know how many hotel rooms there are there, but

756
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: it's also a bikers week or bikers weekend. Even fleabag

757
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: places are getting three hundred a night. Oh so really,

758
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, so I'm I'm on the weight now to

759
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: see what happens with the hotels go. But as far

760
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: as the flight goes, I'm booked. As far as tickets go,

761
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: there was something online the other day I said, the

762
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: stadium is sold out for the year. But I did

763
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: go to Ticketmaster to see what was available for that

764
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: night and it was lower bowl corner, which aren't great seats,

765
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: but they were four hundred and you got to look

766
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: at it from my point, four hundred US each. So

767
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: that's wow. Situation. Now, Yeah, that's a lot, isn't it.

768
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: You got it? It's a lot. It's a lot when

769
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: you're a Canadian, that's for sure. Yeah, it's a lot

770
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: for any But I wonder is did you buy those seats? No?

771
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: I didn't, not yet. Yeah I would, I think. And

772
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: now I'm going to sound like Steve Tasker, but it

773
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: might be smarter to wait and see what happens. I mean,

774
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: they might limit the size of the crowd, they might

775
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: not allow any crowd at all. Right, is that what

776
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: your strategy here is or what are you thinking? Well? Yeah,

777
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking waiting until I get there,

778
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: and you know, probably to put concierge to keep as

779
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: I opened for me and see what's available. So yeah,

780
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: doing it down there, there's one way of doing it

781
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: down there. What's your backup plan if the game doesn't happen. Uh,

782
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Vegas and I have a good times.

783
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: And it's biker Week. You said, yeah, it's biker Week

784
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: and something else. There's something else. I didn't think about

785
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: that birth. That is an enormous consideration about Vegas. Huh,

786
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna we had the other stuff they've got going on,

787

00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: like you're gonna have all these people, and the hotels

00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: that they know there's gonna be a lot of people

794
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: in town. They just jack up the prices. But anyway,

795
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,680

00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: fun when you go. I hope you get a chance

803
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: to go. Thanks for calling. That's interesting. That's real life

804
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: experience about what's going on, Stephen. And to be honest,

805
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to resurrect a fight with you, and

806
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have the fight. But that's what people do.

807
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: That's the kind of considerations they make. How about your tickets? Uh?

808
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: What's your I mean the first thing you'd asked a

809
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: hotel is is this refundable? Right? It's just like any

810
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: other Listen, you're investing in it, right, It's an investment,

811
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: and you know it's not I mean, it's not like

812
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: your mortgage or any like that, but it's still an investment.

813
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: And the cheaper you get in, the more risky it is. Right.

814
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: The earlier you go, the more likely something may happen

815
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: along the way that may throw a wrench into your trip.

816
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: And the later you go, you know, the more you're

817
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna pay to get in, and the less reward there

818
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: is for the investment. You know what I'm saying. It's

819
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: just like anything else. So if you can get in cheap, now,

820
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: the only thing you're risking is maybe that something happens

821
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: the game isn't and the trip is canceled, or the

822
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: game is canceled or anything else. So you're on the

823
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: hook for whatever you put in. The risk is greater

824
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: when you get in cheaper. It's just like any other investment. Yep.

825
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna take a break and come back

00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

843
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: Kevin says, as you well know, Murph. For me, that's

844
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: what he wrote for me. It's the Chiefs game. If

845
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: we slow How does that feel, Steve? You have someone

846
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: to address me like that. It's the Chiefs. Don't really

847
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: bother me that much if we slow down that offense.

848
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: That just heard the Crews. We are the real deal.

849
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: There's no question. The Chiefs game, Thursday night game. What

850
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: is that week's X two four six coming back after

851
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 1: a game at Tennessee on Sunday. Both teams play Sunday

852
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs are here Thursday night. That's a

853
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: big game, Steve. That'll be a real big game. It is.

854
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: I'm I'd like to go. I don't know I haven't

855
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: checked who the Chiefs play before they play the Bills.

856
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're better at that than I am.

857
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: But that may have something to do that. But that's

858
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun game, Um, I think about it.

859
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: Short week Chiefs coming in, the Bills will probably not

860
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: be favored. That's that's gonna be a real spectral. I

861
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: mean you picture it in a normal way, right that

862
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a huge amount of fans in the stands,

863
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy, places will be rocking. May not be

864
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: that way, may look completely different. Yeah, still gonna be

865
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: a good game, I would think. I I it's a

866
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: but with the speed that Kansas City brings and the

867
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: fact that they're defending world champions, and we'll have a

868
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: handle on both teams this season. Will the Chiefs have

869
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hang over from winning the

870
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Will the Bills be ready to take that

871
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: step forward? How will the first month and a half

872
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: of the season go. We'll have a handle on who

873
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: how are these teams are playing? You know before this

874
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: game happens. So it's going to be really really fun

875
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: to see that, you know, come about Chiefs come here

876
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: after hosting the Raiders the Sunday before the Bills come

877
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: here after playing at Tennessee. The Bills will be tested

878
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: before that to Steve with a couple of AFC East games, Jets, Dolphins,

879
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: the Rams here, a game at Vegas, a game at Tennessee.

880
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: That's after two straight road games, and Bills come home

881
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. So they'll be Yeah, they'll be huffing

882
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: and puffing a little bit week six in the season, right,

883
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: trying to get themselves together. It'll be a good testing too. Yeah,

884
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will be playing the Raiders two weeks after

885
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: the Bills will have played them, correct, yep? Or no,

886
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: that's not three weeks, right, three weeks Yeah, that's right,

887
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: three weeks. Well, it'll be two games, two games, two games,

888
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: two weeks yeah, two games. Yeah, So they'll they'll be

889
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: watching bit the Bills on film a bunch two weeks

890
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: before they play them on a Thursday night, because they'll

891
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: be playing opponents a common opponent in the Raiders. So

892
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting. But h that I agree. I think

893
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a great matchup. I think I've told you.

894
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: I think that's the centerpiece of the of the schedule

895
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Certainly, there's some good games coming down

896
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: the pipe, and there's some other things that they're gonna

897
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. But I think from this point,

898
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: four months before the season starts, that's the game I

899
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: would agree with Kevin is Kansas City. Uh, I'm not

900
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna well, I will say, are they a lock to

901
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: repeat as AFC champions? I don't believe that you. I

902
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's a lock. Um, certainly they're gonna be

903
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: in the conversation. Uh, there's a lot of teams that

904
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: look like they've taken a step forward, the Bills for one,

905
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: h the Colts for one. There's some teams that are

906
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna be better, and there's gonna be some teams that

907
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: are surprising, and there's also going to be some teams

908
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: that are disappointments. So I mean, it's easy to sit here,

909
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, and and and think, you know, this team's

910
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: gonna better. You know, the Bills are gonna be better,

911
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna be in the conversation. Baltimore is gonna have

912
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: something to prove and all. And you can have all

913
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: these conversations you want, but none of the conversations do

914
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: not include the Kansas City Chiefs. Am I right? I mean,

915
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: I just don't know people. I mean I was reading

916
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: yesterday somewhere somebody went through game by game and they

917
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 1: concede the Chiefs. Well, that's a loss that I'm thinking.

918
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to concede that. You know, Chiefs are good,

919
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: They're not unbeatable, though I don't think they're unbeatable. It's

920
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: a tough league to win in. Yeah, but don't forget.

921
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: It's a tough league to win in. And that goes

922
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs as well. One more from the tweet

923
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: chief from Scott. He says, with all that speed Kansas

924
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: City has, I want to see if the Bills can

925
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 1: keep up with them all game. Kansas City loves running

926
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: Hill all over the field. Yes they do. They do

927
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: have speed. I think the Bills have a decent amount

928
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: of speed too on offense and defense. I think I

929
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: think Tyreek Hill against stuff on Gilmour sounding there um

930
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: Tredavious White sounds like a matchup i'd like to watch.

931
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, don't you think, Yeah, I'll

932
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: tell you what. Nobody keeps up with Tyreek. You got

933
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: to stay on top of him. And I think the

934
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: key I'm from a million miles from what I've seen

935
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: and what I've understand about Tyrek Hill, I think you

936
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: force him to run routes, precision rountes. You stay over

937
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: the top of him. If he wants to go run

938
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: down the field, you make sure somebody's down there waiting

939
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: on him. You just stay over the top of him

940
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: and force him to run routes. You can't let him

941
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: get behind you because you're you're done when that happens.

942
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: So I think that's one of the things. You double

943
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: team him wherever he goes, keeps somebody with the lid

944
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: on the defense, and then force him to run routes

945
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: or force him to beat you another way other than

946
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: the deep ball. That's that's hard to do though. The

947
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: guy moves so fast, he gets there so quick, and

948
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,479
Speaker 1: when I've said it a million times where it's hard

949
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: to have people say, wow, he's really fast in a

950
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: league that's full of guys who are already fast, and

951
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill does it. He's a guy that peoples a

952
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: whole that gets fast and that's fast guys saying it.

953
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: So he's a handful and at plus the speed that

954
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: other people in the in the in the game like

955
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins is. You know, Bill fans know how fast

956
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: he is, so they got it all over the field.

957
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: It's not just Tyreek, so it'll be fun game to

958
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: watch it. But I think keeping the lid on him

959
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: is the is the most important thing. All Right, we're

960
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna take a break and then we're coming back for

961

Speaker 1: dollar for that. That's right, good point. I let you

Speaker 1: go for a long time to you, I said, Jay,

973
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: it off, but you know what should do the update? Yeah,

Speaker 1: build Traffick now signed, third round draft pick running back

977
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: Zack Moss still unsigned. Doctor Anthony Fauci says football can

978
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: be the perfect setup for spread of the coronavirus. He

979
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: says diligent testing and now the nation responds to a

980
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: second way with a virus in the fall will help

981
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: determine what the twenty twenty NFL season will look like.

982
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan Better, defensive back, says Tennessee Titans never offered

983
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: him a contract this past offseason. He's now he's a

984
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: free agent looking for a new job. And then New

985

986
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: game at the same time until week fifteen to the season.

987
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: It gives New England fans who still planned to follow

988
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: quarterback Tom Brady a chance to watch him play for

989

990
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,439

994
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: think i think I'm still leading, though I think I'm

00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: I think actually I think I'm way up on you

996
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: and our guests has no idea what we're talking about.

997
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: Our guests is Vincent Bouncingnori covers the Raiders for the

998
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: Last Vegas Review Journal, NFL Insider for five seventy AM

999
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: Radio Sports in Los Angeles. Vincent John Murphy's team taker

1000
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Thanks coming on with us today. Absolutely, how

1001
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: are you guys doing good? I own Stephen dolla. We

1002
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: have a deal so we can mute our microphones. We're

1003
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: operating remotely, obviously, and if you are supposed to go

1004
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: on and your microphones muted, it's cost you a dalla.

1005
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about, and I think it's pretty

1006
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: even though we've both we've both been guilty. Your microphones

1007
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: not muted, right, Vincent, No, it's not. I would I

1008
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: would probably in that scenario, I would probably, oh about

1009
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 1: eighteen dollars, right about that? That's yam, Well, that's about

1010
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: what our running total is about twenty guns a pop

1011
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: for per Man. Yeah, we've been but we've been doing

1012
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: this for a while now. This is and I think

1013
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: we're headed into our eighth week coming up. But we're

1014

Speaker 1: glad you came on with us and We also have

1015
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: another question for you. We call you, we see your

1016
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: Vincent boun Senorita. Do you go by Vinnie definitely Vinny, yes, yeah,

1017
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: then you cover LA Sports as well as Las Vegas. Right,

1018
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: you keep an eye in LA Sports. Yeah, no doubt

1019
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: about it. I just moved here to Las Vegas. I

1020
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, the rest of my life was in southern California,

1021
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: So you know, twenty five years covering LA Sports. So

1022
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: definitely still keep an eye on that. So and this

1023
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: comes up this here's why that's relevant. Steve and I

1024
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: were talking during the first hour of the show about

1025
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: the stadiums, a new one in LA the new one

1026
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Did I read this correctly? Did they

1027
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: cut a ribbon or something at the stadium Sofi Stadium

1028
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles this past weekend? What they did was

1029
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: they put up No, they haven't. It's officially opened just yet,

1030
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: but it will be here pretty soon. I think it's

1031
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: in July is when is when they're scheduled opening end um.

1032
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: But what they did was they put they put a

1033
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: huge scoreboard that goes circular around the stadium. It's the

1034
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: biggest scoreboard ever and it goes all the way around

1035
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: the stadium. It's pretty cool. So they just completed that, um,

1036
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: you know, that part of the construction. And to give

1037
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: us a quick update on Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas,

1038
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: what's the status of that place. Everything is moving forward,

1039
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: Everything is on target for a it's late July that

1040
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: they're going to be opening. I don't think they're gonna do.

1041
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: There was a concert that that they were going to

1042
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: do ahead of you know, you know, and I'll be

1043
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: playing there and the Raiders obviously opening up. I don't

1044
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen now because of every day

1045
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: that's going on. All the sun official just yet, but

1046
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: as of right now, everything is moving along. They don't

1047
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: expect any delays, but you know, uncertain times, you have

1048
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: to be prepared for everything. But as of right now,

1049
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: it looks like everything is Everything's gonna be fine. But

1050
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: they do they do catch a break. Somewhat early on

1051
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: it looked like, Wow, they were worried that maybe they

1052
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't get done because of the work stoppages and those

1053
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of things. But now even if the team does

1054
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: come back, it may be that they don't have fans

1055
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: in the stands anyway. So the stadium really doesn't have

1056
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: to have that final code of paint on it. All

1057
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: he really need is the locker rooms in the field

1058
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: to be ready. But you're saying they're well beyond that

1059
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: and there should be should not be an issue with

1060
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: the facilities, correct, Yeah, they the group of constructed everything

1061
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: now is kind of like the of the of the stadium,

1062
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: which you know, it's kind of like putting the final

1063
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: touches on your home if you're building it, if you're

1064
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: building a new home. The obviously the landscaping outside the stadium,

1065
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: but the spectacular drive by there all that my dead

1066
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, in Dead at brand new headquarters in Henderson

1067
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: um Stout, eleven miles away from where the stadium is

1068
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: going to be, and it's the spectacular even things that

1069
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders have never really happened before. They've never really

1070
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: truly had a true home. They shared the home open

1071
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: the Aves, and they played a little while in Los

1072
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Angeles at the Coliseum, which even at that point was

1073
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: outdated and was still outdated. They've done some renovations there,

1074
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: but it's still almost one hundred years old. So it's

1075
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: the first time and if you talk to Raider people

1076
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: and this is what they're so excited about. They finally

1077
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: have the home, and there's no staking whose home that is.

1078
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: When you drive past it, it looks like a Raider

1079
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: and type facility. We're live with Vincent mon Seignori, Vinny

1080
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas Review Journal. Let's talk about a

1081
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: little bit about that team and how they'll be received

1082
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: many We had a listener first hour talking about how

1083
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: he bought tickets. Um, is everything a seat license in

1084
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: Las Vegas or it's a big majority of the seats

1085
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: available come from licensing, right, Yeah, and they sold all that.

1086
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: They exceeded expectations actually on their on their PSLs. Every

1087
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: game is sold out as of right now. So the

1088
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: only way you're gonna be able to get tickets is

1089
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: on a secondary market. And if you look at the prices,

1090
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, their home opener against Stay putting the lowest

1091
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: prices upboards to card seven hundred dollars. That's for you know,

1092
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: nosebleed seats. Um, they've sold out their suites, They've sold

1093
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: out every all their Limentaris. Sixty percent of the of

1094
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: the resend cards of ticket sales are from Las Vegas

1095
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 1: and and and this area. But also talking about a strong, strong,

1096
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: strong contingency from nearby southern California. It's just about a

1097
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: four and a half hour drive, so you probably get

1098
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: about fifteen twenty percent of your of your ticket sales

1099
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: and season ticket sales from from that Los Angeles area.

1100
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: And then there's also fun spart across across the country.

1101
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: RAIDO Nation is pretty strong, but also there's a lot

1102
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: of them that stuck with them in the Bay Area

1103
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: in northern California that kind of understood that, you know

1104
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: what the Raiders were dealing with politically and financially up

1105
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: in Elman, why they couldn't get that stadium done. That

1106
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: understand it, and they're sticking with them, and they're gonna

1107
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: make the tip down. So you're gonna have this collection

1108
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: of Las Vegas, Nevada, and a lot of California and

1109
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: then everybody everywhere else. You're not running a risk at

1110
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: all of turning into or being more like the San

1111
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers moving up to La into a soccer stadium

1112
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: where the predominant of the predominant group of fans that

1113
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: were there were visiting fans. They do expect out of

1114
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: town has to come into Vegas. I think most opponents

1115
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas Las Vegas Raiders are expect their

1116
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: fans to travel well to that city, and that was

1117
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: the whole idea behind it. But it's not gonna be

1118
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: like the sending like the La Charges were in their stadium, right,

1119
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean they're expecting a good home field advantage. Oh yeah, absolutely, Um,

1120
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, especially and even in the

1121
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: you know at that Subop Center, uh Subguly digularly help

1122
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: Center where the Chargers were playing. You know, I think

1123
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: that what people, um, you know missions that when you

1124
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 1: don't have TFLs associated with it, as the Charge were

1125
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: in their in their temporary home, there's not a lot

1126
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: of stake in it the fans. So the bottom season tickets, yes,

1127
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: you bought your season ticket, but they're much easier to unload,

1128
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, from a just from from wrapping your mind

1129
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 1: around it, from a kind of game to game basis,

1130
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: when you have to cut a thousand dollars or fifteen

1131
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or whatever the PSL wherever you're sitting in

1132
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: the new stadium, whether it's Allegiance AM or at so

1133
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: by standing un for the Chargers, you know, it's it's

1134
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: not easy for you to just say, oh yeah, I'm

1135
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna give up, you know, one of eight games that

1136
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: they get to go to each year, because you've put

1137
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: so much money down just to get a chance to

1138
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: buy those tickets. So I'm still care if how it's

1139
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna play out for the charge. So if by stadium

1140
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: they're not the Rams, obviously, um, they've got an uphill

1141
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: climb to find their niche in Los Angeles. But here

1142
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, you know from obviously there's gonna be

1143
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: Stan some other teams. Las Vegas, like Los Angeles, is

1144
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: a destination city. There stands all Saints fans, Patriots fans

1145
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: and gonna circle Las Vegas and they do Los Angeles

1146
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: and Miami in places like that New Orleans. Uh, to

1147
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,959
Speaker 1: make it a point to get there to go see

1148
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: that stadium and they go get some warm weather. But

1149
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna have a takeover situation like

1150
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: Johnston saw with it with the Chargers in Los Angeles.

1151
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I think they'll be Buffalo fans going out there in

1152
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: the week four to see the Bills and the Raiders.

1153
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: Vincent and I wonder where do those people out of

1154
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 1: town fans coming to see their play the Raiders. Where

1155
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: do you expect them to get tickets from? Just secondary market?

1156
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: Is that where it's all going to come from. Yeah,

1157
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: no questions that you go u you know that you

1158
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: go on to the secondary market right now to purchase

1159
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: the ticket, and Buffalo was one of the I just

1160
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: got an email from one of the Sea Guy think

1161
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: it was, that was saying that that Buffalo Raiders ticket

1162
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: is one of the highest prey priced secondary market tickets

1163
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: for the entire NFL schedule next season. So it's a

1164
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: pretty hot ticket right now, and I think people are

1165
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: anticipating that that. You have a lot of Buffalo Building fans,

1166
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: whether they're coming from Buffalo or they live in nearby

1167
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: southern California and are going to make the drive for

1168
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of transplants in Las Vegas as well,

1169
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: so you have a lot of people from from what

1170
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: part of New York that are that are in um

1171
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: that are transplated here, so they're gonna want to go

1172
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: to their game. And that's how it was in Los Angeles.

1173
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, there was two decades went by without your

1174
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: trans planet Buffalo bills and are New York Giants fans

1175
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: and leveland Patriots fans or Chicago Bears fans that were

1176
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: transplotting and living in southern California that it had no

1177
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: access to go see their team in their new home city.

1178
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: And so I think what you saw when the Rams

1179
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: first started playing there and then the Chargers were so

1180
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: many fans who finally got a chance to go see

1181
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles in my hometown. I don't have to fly anywhere.

1182
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: I could just drive, you know, a half hour an

1183
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: hour in a vidium to go see them. And it was,

1184
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, pretty cool experience for all these NFL fans

1185
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: of other teams that grew up either you know, looking

1186
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Calboins or had moved to Las Angeles

1187
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: from Dallas and that finally got a chance to see

1188
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: their team in their new home market. I think you

1189
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: can see a little bit of that here in Las Vegas.

1190
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: It's just that makes sense. This is a place where

1191
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: people have roots to for a lot of obvious reasons, weather,

1192
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: costs of living, the whole nine yards. But I think

1193
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: in the Raiders case, it's gonna be predominantly a Raiders croup,

1194
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: probably a heavy Raders crowd. And now, of course, some

1195
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: of that going to be dependent on you know, winning

1196
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: and losing as well. Got to putty good product out there.

1197
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: And I think in that regard, the smaller than Sue

1198
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: putting together a pretty football team. And it's going to

1199
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what progress they made after the

1200
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: draft this year and the free agency this year, you know,

1201
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: to meet that objective of being not just a decent team,

1202
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: but a playoff team as well, that's one of us.

1203
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: That's what my question was gonna be. What does the

1204
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: Raider fans have to look forward to? Certainly Derek Carr

1205
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: is still there, He's kind of surviving a roster change

1206
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: up and turn over throughout the last handful of years.

1207
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: John Gruden doing what he can to put his stamp

1208
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: on this team, and of course Mark Mike Mayock building

1209
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: through the draft. What's this team gonna look like in

1210
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and white and will it or will it

1211
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: be vastly different from what we've seen in Oakland in

1212
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: LA over the years, or what's it gonna be? What's

1213
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: it gonna look like this year? Well? I think you know,

1214
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: this is a team of average nineteen points the game.

1215
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: Is a team that I have that average the eleventh

1216
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: most oppensive yards per game. There were seventh staffs I think,

1217
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: and turned down conversions, but they were the ninth worst,

1218
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: ninth or eighth worth scoring team in the NFL for

1219
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: whatever reason. You know, they couldn't translate yards and passing

1220
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: yards and production into actual points. But I think with

1221
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: the addition of Henry Rod, I think with the addition

1222
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: of buying Edwards and Waderson from South Carolina another weapon,

1223
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 1: and Lynn bounding from from Kentucky, I think that they're

1224
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: going to be in a better position this year to

1225
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: be able to match up offensively against the posing defensive

1226
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: create more separation. Obviously, Henry rydst the four point two speed,

1227
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: that's no joke, and it's going to help other guys

1228
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: like Josh Jacobs. They're running back in Darren Waller they're

1229
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: tight end, and Hunter Renfro their slot wide receiver. All

1230
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: the pieces are in place. I mean, they rebuilt their

1231
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: offensive line last year when helped me it was one

1232
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL after being n the

1233
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL for for so many years. I

1234
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: think everything who plays offensively for them to take a

1235
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: thematic step forward, and it's going to be on Derek

1236
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Carr to make sure that that happens. I think defensively,

1237
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: bringing in Corey Littleton, that linebacker, Nick Kowski, a linebacker,

1238
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Demius Randall, a safety, adding some depth one a defensive

1239
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: line who's going to be a better position to play

1240
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: better defensively. So there's there's really no reason why they

1241
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to move from that seven and nine

1242
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: that they were last year to maybe get to nine wins,

1243
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: maybe get to ten wins. You know, if if the

1244
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: offense is clicking away, they're hoping that it will. So

1245
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I think that they're in a position to make a

1246
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: pretty big jumpership With Denny Bunch. Signora covers the Raiders

1247
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Journal or Review Journal. Many Um,

1248
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned Derek Carr and Steve and I, I don't

1249
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: know want to speak for Steve here, but I think

1250
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: we both hold Derek Carr in in pretty high regard.

1251
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,479
Speaker 1: But I hear things coming out of there. I see

1252
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: that they signed Marcus Mariota. How strong a grass does

1253
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Derek Carr have on the quarterback job there with the Raiders,

1254
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: do you think? Well, I think a good one. And

1255
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I know you know, I don't think Marcus Mariota came in.

1256
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: He didn't necessarily compete from the job. Obviously, everyone's going

1257
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: to be a competitor and and that's not going to change.

1258
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: But I think I think he's gonna be on a

1259
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: pre long leash here and I think that you know,

1260
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: if you talked to Raiders people, they kind of understand

1261
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: that it's been hard to get a real gauge on

1262
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: Derek Carr in terms of what the ultimate ceiling is

1263
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 1: because he just hasn't been around a good team. I mean,

1264
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, whether it was the offensive line being terrible,

1265
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: or no running game, or like last year and they

1266
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: didn't really have that explosive they thought they had him

1267
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: in Antonio Brown, but we all saw how that happened.

1268
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: What happened with that, or he's not a good defense

1269
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: there's always something that kind of prevented him from saying,

1270
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: from taking ownership of this team and taking it to

1271
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: another level. But all those excuses, to be honest with you,

1272
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: are out the door. They've they've done a really good

1273
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: job of rebuilding around him defensively and offensively and a

1274
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: smile on him, um, you know, to take that to

1275
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the next level and to tell that he did the

1276
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, unquestioned, definitive John Bruden Raiders quarterback for the future.

1277
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 1: So to me, that's the fascinating storyline going into this

1278
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: season to see if Derek Carr slortified as himself in

1279
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: that role or if a year from now, who're sitting

1280
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: here talking about who the Raiders is a drafted or

1281
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: signed in free agency to be their quarterback. How would

1282
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you characterize the relationship between John Gruden and Derek Carr.

1283
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: It's good, um, you know, and I think that you know,

1284
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of respect. You could tell, there's a

1285
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: lot of the spect from Mike mac and John Gruden, uh,

1286
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, from Derek Carr, and I think a lot

1287
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: of people this is what's kind of ironic about Blahaware.

1288
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people assumed that Runston over here,

1289
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: you know with the Raiders, that he was out the

1290
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: dart and Derek car was out the dart with three

1291
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: years later, with three dasts, three free agencies later. But

1292
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: he's the one guy that's basically still standing. There's a

1293
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: couple of homes that many um, so he survived you know,

1294
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: the birds and now um and I think the relationship

1295
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: is good. But now you've got to go out there

1296
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: and produce and not just be a decent quarterback, but

1297
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and taken offense that's been pretty good.

1298
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: It's really good. Then he Richie Incognito resurrected his NFL

1299
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: career here in Buffalo a couple of years ago and

1300
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: kind of had to do it again last year with

1301
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Oakland. He's remains one of my favorites.

1302
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm not going to ask you to predict,

1303
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, what will happen to Incognito, but maybe you

1304
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: can tell us how much they lean on Incognito if

1305
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: it all depend on him to be there and to

1306
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: be playing at a fairly high level on that offensive line. Well,

1307
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I gotta saying that he's definitely locked with the Raiders.

1308
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: And I think that I came aboard and Nogumber I

1309
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: was covering the Rams up until that point, and uh,

1310
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, got a test to meet him and talk

1311
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: to him and work with them, you know, get to

1312
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: get to do him to except that we get to

1313
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: do him. And nobody's ever supplised me more as a person.

1314
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 1: A person would be on our test when I covered

1315
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: the Leggers. How a person that you thought was one

1316
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: way is not that way, and it kind of you

1317
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: don't always believe what she's not not necessarily believe what

1318
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: you read, but your perception is he could get out

1319
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: of control sometimes or it could be distorted sometimes based

1320
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: on what's being said by who, et cetera, et cetera.

1321
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: And it's always important to get to know somebody you

1322
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: know on your own terms and your on your own level.

1323
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I would make that kind of a you know, that

1324
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: kind of a cause. So he was unlike anything that

1325
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be. And talking to

1326
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: a lot of players that's the same exact center that

1327
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: they had, guys who didn't know him. Once they did

1328
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: get to know him, we're like, WHOA, that blows in

1329
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: a way. I didn't expect him to be like that. So,

1330
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, at the end, on top of that, he

1331
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: was a really good player last year when when he

1332
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: was healthy and helped solidify that oppensive life. Yeah, and Steve,

1333
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 1: I think you might agree with this. I think Richie

1334
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: Intagnato was loved here by his teammates and by Vans.

1335
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I think he was appreciated and just kind of went

1336
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: off the rails there for a little bit. The Bills

1337
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 1: had to let him go like Steve, don't you think Yeah,

1338
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: I think so. I think he's had to resurrect his

1339
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: career twice, once after the Miami Dolphins, uh and then

1340
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: once after he left the Buffalo Bills, and he's been

1341
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: able to do it. Um, he got his demons that

1342
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: he deals with. But when he's got those a lid

1343
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: on on those demons, he's a really good football player.

1344
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: And what's and seemingly surprisingly shockingly maybe he seems like

1345
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: a really good teammate. The players here who played with

1346
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: him seemed to really enjoy him, guys on both sides

1347
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: of the football and everything. And so it's he's one

1348
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: of the real amazing stories in the NFL about guys

1349
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: who are who ride that roller coaster of emotions that

1350
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: the game brings out. But I think Richie Incognito is

1351
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: a great story. Um, we will probably see a thirty

1352
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: for thirty on him somewhere down the line. It's that

1353
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of epic roller coaster ride has been for Richie. Yeah,

1354
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I would definitely watch if that, if that episode ever

1355
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: came about. Yeah, hey, Manny, let me ask you about

1356
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: losing the draft. They were all set to have the

1357
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: draftback in April and of course it was pulled out

1358
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: of Las Vegas. I can't imagine that was a mate.

1359
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many shows and exhibitions and trade

1360
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: shows and conventions in Vegas anyway, I can't imagine that

1361
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: was a major blow. But the people had to feel

1362
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit. They would have been a great

1363
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: way to start the Raiders Rain in Vegas, wouldn't it. Yeah, No,

1364
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: it was actually a huge blow. People were really really

1365
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that. The NFL had tremendous um

1366
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, plans for it, and it wasn't just because

1367
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: that was breaking out. It's because the town has literally

1368
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: been set down by the you know, COVID nights and crisis.

1369
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 1: So it was it was a huge glove because I

1370
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: think it for tom what was about ready to happen

1371
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: here in terms of so you know, shutting the town

1372
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: down and people losing jobs. So it was an opportunity

1373
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: loss for Las Vegas to put on a show which

1374
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the people here just take tremendous pride in that and

1375
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: how they welcome people in from all over the world basically,

1376
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: So it was it was a definite blow and you know,

1377
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: fortunately for Las Vegas and coming back in twenty twenty two,

1378
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: and then I would expect the Super Bowl as kind

1379
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: of time here fairly soon as well. Quick last one

1380
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: from me, Vinny. The Bills played the Raiders in Vegas.

1381
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: The Rams, however, travel to Orchard described the Quicken is

1382
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes, described the Rams offseason. Where

1383
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: do you see them headed? They seem to have really

1384
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: struggled since their Super Bowl appearance. Yeah, you know, And

1385
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: the funny thing about that is they were nine and

1386
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: seven and had the you know, the forty nine ers

1387
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: who might end up going to the super Bowl on

1388
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: the roads in San Francisco, I say, Santa Clara. But

1389
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: a blown safety call, um, blown safety assignment by a

1390
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: rookie Taylor rap, you know, ruined by night. Otherwise they're

1391
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: probably in the playoffs. I remember talking to some coaches

1392
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: at the senior balls for the Rams, and they were like,

1393
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, in our room, we're thinking they would have

1394
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: wanted to play their Rams at that point. They were

1395
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: playing pretty darn good at that point. So they were

1396
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: nine and seven. There was a lot of things going on.

1397
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Fishing Um, you know, got out from under them. They

1398
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: tried to do the right thing in protecting him and

1399
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: doing the workload management. It just didn't work. There's a

1400
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: lot of confusion. It meant SA McBay coaching with one

1401
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: arm tied behind his back because Todd Gurley in the

1402
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: running game and means so much to what he's trying

1403
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: to do and he didn't have that for so long

1404
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: and it costs them. But I think that, you know,

1405
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: I think getting out from owner Todd was probably a

1406
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: good thing for both sides and just got to that point.

1407
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: But they've brought in cam Agrew's largest statement running back

1408
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: to kind of Fitch Palm's zone. Uh, you know, run

1409
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: scheme to a to a key, and I expect he's

1410
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: going to have a pretty big year. They're going to

1411
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: be determined to get him the ball. And I think that, um,

1412
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, defensively, that's one to me. That's one of

1413
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the big issue is going to be they lost a

1414
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of faces. Corny move. Can we mentioned him just

1415
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, Um, you know, finding answers for

1416
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: guys that had to leave. They've built a really good roster,

1417
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: but when you get in the NFL, you know that

1418
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: salary cap starts rearing. If we had not exactly what

1419
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: happened in the Rams, they've lost some really good players

1420
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: because the salary cap purposes, and now they have to

1421
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: fix for those positions and make sure that it's often

1422
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: running hopefully for them. Their offense a little bit ahead

1423
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: of the defense. They can win some games early on

1424
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: just by you know, the sure power of off of

1425
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: But I think they're going to stuggle defensively a little bit.

1426
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: And it's on the new staff and the new players

1427
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: to get it together as quickly as possible, you know,

1428
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: and make a platform which I think of the Well, Hey,

1429
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: many thanks for this. Good to talk with you. Thanks

1430
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 1: coming on with this today. We appreciate it. All right, guys,

1431
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: have a good one. Thanks. Thanks. Vinnie Vincent bouncing Yard,

1432
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Reviewed Journal covers the Raiders for them and

1433
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: the Rams. He's an NFL insider on five seventy AM

1434
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Radio Sports in LA, and he joined us talk about

1435
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: the Raiders. So I know where I thought I read

1436
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: that they cut a ribbon or something. I guess the

1437
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: scoreboard is set to go a m so far stadium

1438
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: in LA. Sounds like they're going to get those stadiums built.

1439
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: Whether or not anybody you'll be with him is the question, right, see. Yeah,

1440
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: this sounds like the stadiums are ahead of schedule. Um

1441
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: hit a year where they may not have any any

1442
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: reason to be open yet, so you know, so we'll

1443
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: have to wait and see how all that works out.

1444
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: But that I was surprised because once I thought there

1445
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: was a work stoppage, I thought there's gonna be big

1446
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: problems delays because nobody could actually go to construction jobs

1447
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 1: in those cities, particularly in the California site. And then

1448
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: I guess they've been making some progress. They were close.

1449
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I knew they had. You know how these things always work.

1450
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: They start, so that thing's going to be done right

1451
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: before the season start starts. And it looked like they

1452
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: were going to be delayed, but I guess not gonna

1453
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: be ready in July at least the Sofi Stadium in

1454
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: La Is and the Raiders Stadium seems like it's gonna

1455
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: be on schedule as well. All right, we're gonna take

1456
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: a break and then we'll come back. Hey, answer a

1457
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: question for us. What matchup are you most looking forward

1458
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: to on the Bills schedule? Is it Stefan Days versus

1459
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Stephon Gilmore, Bills versus Patriots? Is it the Buffalo defense

1460
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: against Pat Mahomes and the Kent City offense. Is it

1461
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense Josh Shalon against the forty nine ers

1462
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: defense number one defense in the league? Is there something else?

1463
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: On Twitter? Poll? It is the Bill's defense against Mahomes

1464
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: and the Chief offense that gets the most response. But

1465
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: let's hear from eight h three h five fifty toll

1466
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1467
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: It's one Bills Live, presented by Collata Help. This is

1468
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Walco Back one goes live. John Raphy's

1469
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: team tasker here until three. Maddie Glab from PSC. Bills

1470
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: reported from PSC's gonna join us at two. Talk a

1471
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit about Herb's good talking about the Raiders and

1472
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: it's business as usual. It sounds like Steve, I mean,

1473
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: they don't know. They're just as uncertain as we are

1474
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: about bands and everything and whether the season goes off

1475
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the schedule. But there won't be any I guess this

1476
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: is a small consolation, but other than coronavirus, it's not

1477
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: like the stadium won't be complete and things will be

1478
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: falling apart. They'll get it done, they'll be ready to

1479
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: go right yeah, so at least they're gonna have a

1480
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: place to play and it'll be nice and new, and

1481
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: even that will bring some attention to it. It is

1482
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: interesting about as you start to see the likelihood that

1483
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a season exactly like the season,

1484
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I just got much preseason games and

1485
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 1: then you know, full State, full stadium and all of that.

1486
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: So it's, um, I don't know. I I think it's

1487
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I think it's fun that the stadium is gonna be there.

1488
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing them. I hope they're full

1489
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: and people can go in there. But man, oh man,

1490
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't it certainly doesn't seem like it's gonna be.

1491
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: Don't you wish they were still in Oakland? I do? Oh?

1492
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I do? Nah? Why I don't care. I do my

1493
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: entire career there in LA. What do I care? Because

1494
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: Oakland is an original No, I don't. Oakland is an

1495
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,799
Speaker 1: original AFL town, and Oakland is a town that supported

1496
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: that team faithfully through the years. No, those people got jobbed.

1497
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean they had a bad owner who in a

1498
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: terrible stadium, and um, you know, he just took the

1499
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: money and ran. Of course, I wish they were still

1500
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: in Oakland. Yes, I wish, I wish they were, absolutely

1501
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't care about that team.

1502
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean they moved twice. They moved twice. I mean, yeah,

1503
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, fans, the fans are the ones that

1504
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: pay the Yeah, the fans are the ones who pay

1505
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:09,560
Speaker 1: the price, no question about it. But um, you know,

1506
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: every teams now we've got our own problems, you know.

1507
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean we're trying to get back back to the playoffs,

1508
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: getting you know, getting back, and we're trying to you know,

1509
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,879
Speaker 1: trying to take a step forward. That that team's legacy

1510
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: is one of doing that to fans. To me, I've

1511
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: played mine. I had thirteen years in the NFL. Every

1512
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: year they were in the LA, they were in LA.

1513
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't even I remember played in Oakland.

1514
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I only cover games there. I went there. The place

1515
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: an absolute atrocity of a and so I don't have

1516
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: any loyalty to it. I don't have any I don't

1517
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: care about it. Um. I know that there are a

1518
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: bunch of the great people in Oakland who suffered through

1519
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things that that team did without him

1520
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: for over a decade, brought him back welcomed him with

1521
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: open arms and then had him snatched away again. Yeah,

1522
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:05,879
Speaker 1: it's a bad It is a bad look the NFL.

1523
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 1: It's one that's gonna go away quickly. I don't have

1524
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: any skin in that game, I guess I know, other

1525
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: than we're gonna try to reconnect for you know. I mean,

1526
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: that's just we're gonna try to reconnect with Steve here

1527
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: on the show. Obviously his signals cutting out. In the meantime,

1528
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: our phone lines are open eight o three five fifty

1529
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: twelve three one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty.

1530
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: The Twitter pole is open. We're asking you about the

1531
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: bill schedule. Which matchup are you most looking forward to

1532
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: see from this year's bill schedule? Fifty six percent say

1533
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: you're most looking forward to seeing the Buffalo defense take

1534
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,879
Speaker 1: their chances with the Pat Mahomes and the Kansas City offense.

1535
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Fifty six percent say that's the matchup, twenty two percent

1536
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: say you're most looking forward to Stephan Diggs against Stefan Gilmour,

1537
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: and sixteen percent say you're most looking forward to seeing

1538
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the Buffalo offense take on that tough San

1539
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Francisco defense. Maybe we're missing one, give us a call

1540
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: eight oh three fifty toll free. Hear me, hear me

1541
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 1: back by fifty two five fifty, I hear you. You're back. Yeah,

1542
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: sorry about that one other thing about the Raiders. And

1543
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame Benny bun signor about this,

1544
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: but it just strikes me again listening to you know,

1545
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: all the seats are sold and seat licenses and four

1546
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: hundred seven hundred dollars cheapest seat, third level whatever. The

1547
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Bills are outliers in the current NFL, and I don't

1548
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: know how long they can last being outliers. Steve in

1549
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: terms of uh, in terms of who owns the tickets,

1550
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo season ticket bases, regular people who save their money

1551
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: to get season tickets. It's not the way it is

1552
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: in many NFL towns. Probably was much more that way

1553
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: in Oakland than it's going to be in Las Vegas.

1554
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: And worry me. I guess I don't think the Bills

1555
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: are going anywhere for forever. But I do think the

1556
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: NFL is kind of getting away from the Buffalo Bills.

1557
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: They are outliers, you know, they're they're sort of a

1558
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 1: throwback team now that it's a different type crowd in

1559
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Orchard Park in a different type of season ticketball there

1560
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. I know this though every team, while

1561
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: they all look kind of the same and they all

1562
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: kind of follow the same trends, they're all different entities.

1563
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: They're run by their their own enterprises. They run their

1564
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: team in their market much in their own way. I've

1565
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: said this before on the show that I've spoken with

1566
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: owners and not a great length, but in general, and

1567
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: they'll tell you you buy your team, and the league

1568
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: gives you the keys to the building kind of and

1569
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: tapped on the shoulder and says good luck. I mean,

1570
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 1: there's no NFL owner, one oh one that you can

1571
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: go to and say, how did you do it? How

1572
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: do they do it? You know, they just they turn

1573
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: you loose. And so while the league may do some things,

1574
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills will be free to make their own

1575
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: choices about how they handle their tickets, with the charge

1576
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: for their tickets, how to handle their revenue, you know,

1577
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So you can treat the Buffalo

1578
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: if you're the owner of the Buffalo Bill, if you're

1579
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: the owner of the Cleveland Browns, if you're the Green

1580
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, who are you know, as a publicly owned team,

1581
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 1: they get to make decisions that are exclusive to their market.

1582
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: They get to pick how they handle their season tickets

1583
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: and do their things. So while they they'll do what

1584
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: makes sense in a business way, no question, I'm sure

1585
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: that the flavor of the city will always have something

1586
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: to say about how they handle tickets, how they disperse tickets,

1587
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 1: that what they pay for, you know, what they charge

1588
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: for tickets. So while the league does go a certain way,

1589
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: every team is individual and it gives me a reason

1590
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: to know that you reason to believe that the Bills

1591
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: aren't going to necessarily do everything else that the National

1592
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Football League does. I don't know if they can, right,

1593
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: I mean, every favor flavor of Buffalo is sort of

1594
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: a smaller very few corporate headquarters and individual season ticket holders,

1595
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: people who have been at it for years holding season tickets. Yeah,

1596
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Bills flavor, you know. And I'm

1597
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: just saying I don't know if they I think the

1598
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: rest of the league gets away from Buffalo sometimes and

1599
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: that right intent, Well, and think about what it's like

1600
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: in Vegas. They've got, you know, I don't have never

1601
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've never been where the two people in

1602
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere have never been to Vegas, so you know,

1603
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,879
Speaker 1: all you see is hotels in Vegas, big, huge, casino

1604
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,560
Speaker 1: type resort hotels, and I'm sure there's a ton of

1605
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: other downsize ones, but there's a lot of entities in

1606
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 1: Vegas who will buy huge blocks of tickets. There's not

1607
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: It's not that way in Buffalo, and you've got to

1608
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: run your business in accordance with that. Certainly, it's a

1609
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: benefit numbers wise and money monetarily wise where you've got big,

1610
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, donors, so to speak. But it's also a

1611
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: question of you know, what kind of fan do you have,

1612
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: what kind of atmosphere you have, And Buffalo's atmosphere has

1613
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: always been unique, and I'm sure it's going to remain so,

1614
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: but I'm not. It doesn't worry me that teams like LA,

1615
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: both teams in LA and the Raiders, the San Francisco

1616
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 1: you know, out in Santa Clara, moving their stadium fifty

1617
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: miles away from downtown San Francisco. Other teams like that

1618
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: that have done things over the years that have given

1619
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: them a different flavor and a different way, a model

1620
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: of way they do business. That doesn't mean that it's

1621
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: going to affect the way Buffalo does. You're right, You're right?

1622
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: Should it? You're right? Okay, enough about the Raiders. We're

1623
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: talking about the builds. One Bill Slives name of the show,

1624
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: not one Raiders Live. Hey, time now for what's for lunch?

1625
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Steve and I take a couple of

1626
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: NFL issues and decide which we prefer. I like this question.

1627
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: See would you rather have the best guard in the

1628
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: league or the best fullback in the league? Good question?

1629
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: I know what I answer. Do you want me to

1630
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: go first or do you want to go I? Yeah,

1631
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 1: I can either way, and I'm it's not gonna change

1632
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: my answer. I'm I'm going with guard me too. Yeah. Yeah,

1633
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: the guard is on the field exactly well back. Maybe

1634
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: he plays a third of your offensive snaps, and maybe

1635
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: he's a good player and makes a difference. But I'd

1636
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: better they have a guarden there for passing downs, right,

1637
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: pass protection, pulling him around. If he's that good, maybe

1638
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: he can run and you get the running game going. Yeah,

1639
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: the best guard in the league will do that. The

1640
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: best guard in the league will be able to run.

1641
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: The best guard in the league will be able to

1642
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: drive flock on the running game. The best guard in

1643
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: the league will be able to pass protect against a great,

1644
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: big defensive tackle. Yeah, those guys, you're a huge are

1645
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,560
Speaker 1: hugely important. And now I'm a guy who's kind of

1646
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 1: come full circle on that. I was always like, well,

1647
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: the guy plays guard, but reason he's playing guards because

1648
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: he can't play tackle. You know, it's not necessarily the case.

1649
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,759
Speaker 1: And I think it's uh. I think there's no question

1650
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: in a league that where a lot of teams don't

1651
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: even have a fullback. Yeah, I'm taking the guard. I

1652
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: mean too, I think that it's easy. Some of these aren't.

1653
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Is easy to answer. What's for lunch? Here we go,

1654
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 1: Which team is most improved this offseason? The Arizona Cardinals

1655
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Go ahead, Steve, you got

1656
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: this one first. I'll say, well, the Buccaneers were pretty

1657
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: good team team and the Cardinals had a long you know,

1658
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: had more room for improvement in my opinion, you know

1659
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's more of those. I'm just gonna

1660
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: say Tampa Bay because I think Tampa Bay, like right now,

1661
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: is a better football team than the years the Cardinals are.

1662
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: So that's what tips the scales for me. I think

1663
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is at a point now where they're going

1664
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: to be in a conversation for a playoff spot, maybe

1665
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: a good playoff run, and I would say they are

1666
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: the most improved, even even though for Arizona did a

1667
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: lot of improving. I like, I like Tampa Bay. In

1668
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: that conversation, I like Arizona, and I'll tell you why. Um,

1669
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay had some big name editions. U a forty

1670
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: two year old quarterback. You know, are you counting on

1671
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: him to make it that much better? I don't know

1672
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,560
Speaker 1: if he's gonna make it that much better. Um, a

1673
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: guy who did not play last year at tight end.

1674
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: And they've had some draft picks and other editions. But

1675
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I think Arizona has had a better offseason. I think

1676
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, the linebacker, is an intriguing maybe the most

1677
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: intriguing guy in the draft this year. I think they

1678
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: added I know they added DeAndre Hopkins, who is a

1679
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: really good player. I'm gonna go with the Arizona Cardinals.

1680
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay has had bigger name additions, but

1681
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals have had more significant additions

1682
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: than than Tampa than Tampa Bay has this year. Yeah,

1683
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: it's a good conversation. But because both those teams are

1684
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: going to be better, I don't think there's any question.

1685
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what the top end of

1686
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is going to be because there's still a

1687
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of question marks about how the offense they run,

1688
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray and you know the other improvements they've made.

1689
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: But you're right, Simmons is a big wild card of this, Jeff.

1690
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him play and see how he

1691
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: does at the next this level. What's for lunch? Will

1692
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott skipping offseason workout the offseason program for the

1693
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys without a new deal? Is that going to backfire?

1694
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Is that going to be bad? Yes? Or no? I'm

1695
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna say no. I'm gonna say no. I think he's uh.

1696
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna get a deal done.

1697
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: I think Cowboys have a little bit of leverage, not much,

1698
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: if they really want this guy to play. I think

1699
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton gives them a hair more leverage. I'm sure

1700
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: they don't want to start the season with Andy Dalton

1701
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 1: as their starting quarterback, but I think the club always

1702
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: has that leverage in this situation. I'm gonna make my

1703
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: service at all. Are you're ever gonna skip an off

1704
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: season program? This is a year to do it, right,

1705
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: all virtual? Um, Dak Prescott knows that offense same coordinator, yes, right,

1706
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 1: the new head coach with Mike McCarthy. But things on

1707
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: offense won't change that much, don't. I think this is

1708
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: the year to do it if you're gonna skip an

1709
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: off season program. And and like you said, I do

1710
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:50,600
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna get that deal done. I

1711
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 1: do believe they will, right all right? Let me find

1712
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: one more. There's a couple of year I don't get

1713
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: and I don't like, so I'm not gonna do that.

1714
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 1: Let me find and one more. What's for lunch? Steve

1715
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: and I choose from the menu? Better new uniform? The Bucks,

1716
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Falcons, or the Browns? Yea four to

1717
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: choose from? Oh, I'll say the Patriots. I don't know.

1718
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm going with Patriots. I don't love their uniform, but

1719
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: I think it looks good and the others are just foolish.

1720
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons the Bucks uniform, I mean I

1721
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: can't even keep track of what they dow year to year.

1722
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Same with the Browns. You know they change every year.

1723
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Patriots the best new uniform out there. Yeah, yeah,

1724
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean I'll do that too. I couldn't tell you.

1725
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't pick them out of the old some of them.

1726
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I can't pick the old ones from the new ones.

1727
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: The Bucks change so many so often. Yeah, I'm kind

1728
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: of with you. The Patriots seemed to make when they

1729
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: change it, they change it pretty good. By the Browns. Yeah, there,

1730
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: so it's an interesting thing, but I think the Patriots

1731
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: did a better job. I'll go with you on that,

1732
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 1: all right, that's what's really important. The fourth question, that's

1733
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: what's for lunch. We'll be back to talk more. It's

1734
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Klatt of Health. This is

1735
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:16,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back One Bills Live. John Murphy,

1736
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Steve Cansker and making his way to get back on

1737
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: with us. I think he's going to be back on there.

1738
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: This has just came in to Otago by a law

1739
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: as agreed to terms under the contract. Dolphins agreed to

1740
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: terms with him today. Field Gate says you'll earn three

1741
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,560
Speaker 1: thirty point two seven five million over the course of

1742
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: his five year deal. First round pick so the Dolphins

1743
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: have a fifth year option for his services, so it

1744
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:42,919
Speaker 1: could go on until twenty twenty four two signs a contract.

1745
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: Steve Any thoughts on that it's not as dramatic as

1746
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: it used to be, right, we talked about that last week.

1747
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: Rights just it's kind of a rubber stamp. There's no

1748
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: reason for them to form to hold out, and I

1749
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: think it's a better way to do it. I said

1750
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: it before and I'll stick with it. It's just better

1751
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: when they don't hold out, when they can get into camp.

1752
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: It's still a ton of money. He's gonna see every

1753
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: cent of it. So yeah, I'm I'm I think this

1754
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,680
Speaker 1: way of doing business. And I know I'm an old guy.

1755
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Some of the younger listeners won't remember what it used

1756
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 1: to be like when these guys would come out of

1757
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: college and his first pick of the draft, second pick

1758
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: of the draft, top five pick of the draft, would

1759
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: hold out for a month, couldn't get a deal done.

1760
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: They would pay him almost all the money up front,

1761
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it would change the guy and

1762
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: they wouldn't. He would his career would never be the

1763
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 1: same because he was late to training camp. His rookie

1764
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 1: year got off to a bad start and quite frankly

1765
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: had all the money he'd ever need anyway. So it

1766
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: was a bad deal the way it used to be

1767
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: and this is much better. So congratulations to two and

1768
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 1: his family. Tweet sheet brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems,

1769
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: the official movies in the Buffalo Bills. The matchup you're

1770
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: most looking forward to seeing from the Bills on the

1771
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: schedule this year is that Diggs versus Gilmore. Buffalo defense

1772
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,719
Speaker 1: against Chiefs offense, Buffalo offense against San Francis Go defense.

1773
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: Something other Jack tweets him, I want to see Diggs

1774
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: against Gilmore in every other corner he faces. This guy

1775
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: knows how to get open, makes defensive backs look silly.

1776
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: I hope he burns Gilmore like wheat toast and streaks

1777
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: and streaks for several big touchdowns from Josh Allen this season. Yeah,

1778
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing Dicks, yeah, and Digs versus Gilmore. Look,

1779
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 1: Gilmore goes is regarded anyways the best corner in the league,

1780
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: and he goes up against the best wide receivers in

1781
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 1: the league, and h hopefully Stefan Diggs is one of them. Right.

1782
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: That's that's a matchup to look for it, no question.

1783
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be something to watch. I think

1784
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: those two guys will go at and I think it's

1785
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see the ble to attack the

1786
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 1: entire defense with three really quality pro wide receivers and

1787
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: a couple of really good running backside. You know, it's

1788
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a different Bills offense. I think this year,

1789
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 1: and I think, and I think that's gonna it's gonna

1790
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 1: help not only to score points, but I think it's

1791
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna put more on Stefan Stefan Gilmour's plate when they

1792
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: do face the Bills. So I think it's gonna be

1793
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 1: a fun, fun year we'll see. I'm really excited to

1794
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: see that too. I'm excited to see Stefon Diggs play

1795
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 1: against anybody in a Bill's uniform, let alone Stefund Gilmore. Yeah. Um.

1796
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: From Thomas on the tweet sheet, he said, I voted

1797
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: other I picked an entire game. Listen to this seat,

1798
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: He says. I purchased tickets see the Bills and the

1799
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Phoenix, making this a vacation, driving cross country,

1800
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 1: will visit with family, spend two weeks in Arizona. Family

1801
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,919
Speaker 1: football and golf fingers crossed way. Great way to end confinement.

1802
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 1: What a great deal, Thomas. I salute you. I salute you.

1803
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: That's a that's how you know driving cross country is ambitious.

1804
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: The Arizona game is November fifty ye, so you'll be

1805
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: driving in November cross country. That's got to take at

1806
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: least two days, right to get to Phoenix. You get

1807
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,600
Speaker 1: there and play golf, stay with family, so you have

1808
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: family golf football. Yeah. I salute you, Thomas. That's the

1809
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 1: way to look ahead. That's really good. That's that's that's

1810
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: really good to see. I'm encouraged. It's not easy. That's

1811
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: a long drive. And I get why you'd want to

1812
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 1: drive in this in this you know, uh, in this climate. Uh,

1813
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: because you don't want to be in an airport, traveling

1814
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,560
Speaker 1: in and out, getting in and off different airplanes and

1815
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: and you know, in and out of the airport, that

1816
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I mean driving, Um, if you've got

1817
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: the time, uh, go ahead. But man, oh man, what

1818
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 1: a vacation that would be. That's and I've said this

1819
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:27,759
Speaker 1: this year maybe maybe in the top five all time

1820
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: for road trip venues for bills fans and want to

1821
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: go and spend a weekend in one of the other

1822
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 1: cities you've got, uh, Arizona, Denver, Vegas, and Tennessee. Uh

1823
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:43,560
Speaker 1: those are pretty good venues at San Francisco and San Francisco.

1824
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,599
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a great year for Bills road

1825
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: trips for their fans, if indeed they can make those trips. Yep,

Speaker 1: all right, we got a break here and then we're

1827
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: coming back, Maddie glad we'll join us. One go Side

1828
01:30:54,360 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: presented by Colaida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio, the

1829
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Live and in the final hour

1830
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 1: of the show, the Bills began their virtual Rookie Minicamp.

1831
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, virtual meetings workouts at cent All but

1832
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 1: One Bill's raft pick, now signed. Third round draft pick

1833
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 1: running back Zack Moss remains unsigned. Football could be the

1834
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: perfect setup to spread the coronavirus, according to doctor Anthony Fauci,

1835
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: a member of the White House Task Force on the

1836
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: virus and director of the National Institute of Allergy and

1837
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,680
Speaker 1: Infectious Diseases. He says how the nation responds to a

1838
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: second wave of the virus on the fall might help

1839
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: determine what the twenty twenty NFL season would look like.

1840
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: NFL does have time on its side. The schedule not

1841
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 1: scheduled to begin until Thursday, September tenth. Fauci said, right

1842
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: now there's too much infection for there to be a season,

1843
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: but he says, I would hope that by the time

1844
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: you get to September it's not going to be the

1845
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: way it is now. Better in defensive back Logan Ryan

1846
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 1: said the Tennessee Titans did not offer him a contract

1847
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,760
Speaker 1: during cree agency the soft season. Ryan spent the last

1848
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: three years with the Titans. He will not be back

1849
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 1: to try to finish the deal. He is a free agent.

1850
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 1: Ryan said he told by the Titans they would monitor

1851
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 1: the market, but will probably get more than what they

1852
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: could afford. He is twenty nine years old. NFL says

1853
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:09,160
Speaker 1: it's just a quirk the fact that the Patriots in

1854
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay do not play a game at the same

1855
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 1: time until Week fifteen. That gives New England fans who

1856
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 1: still planned to follow quarterback Tom Brady with his new

1857
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: team and unexpected bonus, But the NFL says it was

1858
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: just a coincidence, aided in part by both teams having

1859
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:27,799
Speaker 1: five primetime games and Jets lignebacker J C J. Mosley

1860
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 1: says it is crazy to trade Jamal Adams. There are

1861
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: reports that the Jets may be trying to trade the

1862
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 1: young safety teammate CJ. Mosley wants everyone to know those

1863
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: rumors are hogwash, not worry about it. He says that

1864
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: would be a crazy move. Jamal Adams, a premier safety

1865
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 1: just three seasons into his career, has been mentioned as

1866
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 1: possible trade baked by the Jet Jets, but CJ. Mosley

1867
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: says not going to happen, and he thinks it would

1868
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 1: be crazy. So there you go. That's the update from

1869
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, John Murphy's team tasker, joined on the

1870
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 1: line by Maddy Glamm, PSC reporter covers the Bills and

1871
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 1: the Sabers. Soh, MADDI, how you doing today? Doing good? Guys,

1872
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,879
Speaker 1: Wishing it was a little bit warmer already in Buffalo,

1873
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: but you know, I feel like we're all on the

1874
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: same page at that time. Join the club. You're almost

1875
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: a year into your residency in Buffalo, Maddie. Have you

1876
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: given up on Buffalo weather yet? I'm two months away

1877
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: from my year of starting with the Bills, and honestly,

1878
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean the winter wasn't too bad. I grew up

1879
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so I know what winters are like. And

1880
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: everybody was saying this has been a super, super mild winter,

1881
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: and I totally agree with that. But now I feel

1882
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: like we're getting our butts kicked with how long the

1883
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 1: cold weather has lasted. I'm just so over it. And

1884
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 1: you don't say it's it's the length of the winter,

1885
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: not the severity that's the issue. Right would you agree

1886
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: with that, Maddie, Yeah, it's the length. I mean, we're

1887
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 1: all pale and pasty. I'm ready for a tan. I'm

1888
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: ready to be at training camp, like, let's get these

1889
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 1: things rolling with you. Hey, Maddie, you were You and

1890
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown did a great job on the schedule release

1891
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 1: show last Thursday night, and you've had a chance now

1892
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: to digest the Bills regular season schedules as was released

1893
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,760
Speaker 1: last Thursday. What did you think in general of the

1894
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo schedule? I mean, I'm pretty pumped. You hear four

1895
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: primetime games, and yes, this is just going to be

1896
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 1: my second season covering the Bills. And I joke about

1897
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: with everybody that this is all I know. All I

1898
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 1: know is a Buffalo team that is really good at football.

1899
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 1: I don't know the years that the Bills, Bills Mafia

1900
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills is an organization have been through of

1901
01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: the toughness to get to where they are. I come

1902
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,640
Speaker 1: into this program, this organization, and I think, Wow, this

1903
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:41,600
Speaker 1: is a really good football team, and I think for

1904
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 1: prime time they're totally deserving of it, and it could

1905
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 1: be more of them four primetime games. And I think

1906
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,719
Speaker 1: we saw, of course, at the end of last season,

1907
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 1: a bunch of people jump on the bandwagon, People start

1908
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: to understand and start to respect just how good this

1909
01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 1: team is. And we're seeing that now more with the

1910
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 1: schedule lease and more buy in from national media and

1911
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 1: things like that. And one thing that's on the forefront

1912
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: of it all is the culture that Sean and Brandon

1913
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: are building at One Bill's Drive and how that culture

1914
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: can completely affect in the best way possible and offseason

1915
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 1: that has a lot of question marks in it. Yeah,

1916
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: you've also been here around and you can see now

1917
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: the national media and other people are starting to jump

1918
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 1: on and take notice and have higher expectations, if not

1919
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 1: really high expectations for this club. Do you share those?

1920
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of have toime know, We're all

1921
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: optimistic here inside the building, so to speak, but it

1922
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: really are you because some of us who've been around

1923
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 1: a while long more than ten months, Mad Girl, are thinking, Man,

1924
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not comfortable with all the high expectations,

1925
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: everybody thinking the bills are going to be really good.

1926
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 1: How does it make you feel as a newcomer? I like,

1927
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,719
Speaker 1: I always like the story of an omberdog, like proving

1928
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: people wrong, because I feel like that's what I've had

1929
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 1: to do a lot in my life. But I do

1930
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: think while this team is young, I think they have

1931
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,799
Speaker 1: a really strong locker room, and I think a strong

1932
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 1: locker room can go and put those expectations on the

1933
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 1: back burner and not really worry about what national media

1934
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 1: is saying, or what the world is saying about this team,

1935
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: and how the world is saying. You know, Josh Allen

1936
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: is going to take this team as far as they

1937
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: can go. I feel like this team is mature enough

1938
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 1: to not focus on those things, and they'll be good

1939
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:39,559
Speaker 1: because they're good, and because they have great coaches, they

1940
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: won't let's talk get to them too much. Maddie glab

1941
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: Our guests. He is multi media reporter for Google Sports

1942
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,760
Speaker 1: and Entertainment covers the Bills cover, the Savers cover the

1943
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,360
Speaker 1: schedule release last week, Maddie, Let's let's start talking about

1944
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: the schedule, and in particular, let's go through the primetime

1945
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: game so they get they get going on primetime pretty

1946
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 1: early with a home game of thirty nine against the

1947
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. A lot of people looking forward to

1948
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: that one. Huh. Yeah. I have five games that I'm

1949
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 1: really looking forward to, and of course they are all

1950
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: the primetime games, just like a lot of people are

1951
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:11,759
Speaker 1: looking forward to these. But I look at this Chiefs

1952
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 1: game and I just think about the amount of storylines

1953
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 1: in this game. It's coach McDermott against Andy Reid. Coach

1954
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: McDermott coached under Andy Reid for a long time at Philadelphia.

1955
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:26,879
Speaker 1: And I remember talking to Andy Reid at the Combine

1956
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: this year when he had his media availability, and I

1957
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,320
Speaker 1: asked him what it's going to be to play what

1958
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be like to play against the Bills

1959
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,120
Speaker 1: this year, and he laughed and said, you know, Sean's

1960
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: done a great job building the team in Buffalo, but

1961
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to give them too many compliments just

1962
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 1: because you know, they're on the schedule this year, but

1963
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how this offense does against

1964
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense and how our defense does against such

1965
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: a successful offense in the Chiefs. Mitch Morris is playing

1966
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: against his old team in the Chiefs, Trey White and

1967
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, they both went to LSU. It's the top

1968
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 1: three defense and the Bills against the top five offense

1969
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. It'll be interesting to see how Clyde

1970
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire grows in a role with that team and

1971
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: how Zach Moss grows in a role with our team.

1972
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:18,840
Speaker 1: So I think this is going to be a game

1973
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 1: right off the top in the first six weeks that

1974
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 1: really shows the world and the Bills where they're at

1975
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 1: in terms of competition and can they play with the

1976
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: best out there. I think it's a quarterback matchup too many.

1977
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: It's the MVP last year, Patrick Mahomes against the Bills quarterback.

1978
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 1: Now the Bills had a chance to draft Mahomes and

1979
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: passed up on him and then got Josh Allen the

1980
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 1: following year. That will be something that's talked about that week.

1981
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: I think, huh yeah, it'll be really interesting. I saw

1982
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot tweets come in during our schedulely show saying

1983
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: people are excited for that game because people want to

1984
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:57,719
Speaker 1: be silenced in regards to Okay, let's just let Josh

1985
01:38:57,760 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: Allen have a good game and then everybody who's talking

1986
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 1: about you should have drafted Patrick Mahomes. They can go

1987
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:05,719
Speaker 1: be quiet after this game. Yeah, not for nothing either.

1988
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 1: It's the World Champions coming on the road into your

1989
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 1: house on a primetime game, and that's that always turns

1990
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 1: up the ratchet of attention. And had this been a

1991
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:17,759
Speaker 1: normal year, I you know, fans can the stands, season

1992
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:21,720
Speaker 1: ticket holders, everybody's showing up, This game would have been

1993
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 1: an absolute madhouse at New air Field. Don't know what

1994
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: it's going to look like, but no question, this is

1995
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 1: a different end animal a primetime game. Yeah, I mean,

1996
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: I hope it can be packed. I hope fans can

1997
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 1: be in the stands because New air Field at eight

1998
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: twenty I want to see that. I will probably get

1999
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: goosebumps on my arms because the atmosphere will be so insane.

2000
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 1: So I think that's something that just gives Buffalo a

2001
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:54,799
Speaker 1: leg up in this match. The four games that remain

2002
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 1: on your five games to watch are all take it's

2003
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 1: the month of December. I think it's an amazing for

2004
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: the Bills where they theoretically, I mean, the three of

2005
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: the four are already scheduled for prime time. The Denver

2006
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: game could be a nationally televised game if it's on Saturday.

2007
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 1: I can't recall ever in Bill's history that much exposure

2008
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: in such a short time, in one month and playing time.

2009
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 1: That's amazing, Mannie. Yeah, I mean you're thinking that there

2010
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 1: could be four straight prime time games for the Bills.

2011
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, when does that happen to another team too?

2012
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 1: Where you can write four straight weeks where you're playing

2013
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: night games and playing against some really good teams. And

2014
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: I also think about this four week stretch and just

2015
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 1: think about this time right now and how important these

2016
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 1: offseason individual workouts are going to be, because when you

2017
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 1: get into the end of the season, it health is

2018
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: such a big factor, and the Bills have had health

2019
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: on their side the past two years. And I think

2020
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: how in shape this team enters this season is going

2021
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 1: to play a big factor in the end of this season.

2022
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 1: And I think you got to feel positive about that

2023
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: because of coach Siano and the program he has in

2024
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 1: place for this team. I did a story a couple

2025
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: months ago coach Siano one strength Coach of the Year

2026
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,680
Speaker 1: for the AFCAM and a lot of players talk just

2027
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: about how he has these individualized workouts for each player

2028
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: and how that's unique in the NFL, and how this

2029
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:28,560
Speaker 1: time in quarantine and this time and self isolation, this

2030
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: team can come out of it in a positive way

2031
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: because he has so much trust in this team because

2032
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 1: when they come back, regardless of what type off season

2033
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 1: there is, this team comes back prepared and they do

2034
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: the work on their own anyway. So that makes me

2035
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 1: feel good about this time and hopefully it'll play a

2036
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: big part into the end of the season where this

2037
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 1: Bills team is looking healthy as they enter Week thirteen.

2038
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: Is there anything that worries you about the schedule for

2039
01:41:55,520 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: Bills fans? Well, I mean some of the some of

2040
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:02,599
Speaker 1: the West coast trips. You gotta wonder how this team

2041
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 1: is going to travel on some of those short weeks.

2042
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 1: There's a few short weeks for this team, but the

2043
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 1: three games that they play after those short weeks. I

2044
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 1: read a tweet from NFL Network James Palmer. I believe

2045
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 1: he said the three short weeks that the Bills have.

2046
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: Those will all be home games that they're coming off of,

2047
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: so that's a positive thing. But I mean they're going

2048
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 1: to be challenged in that Week thirteen a week sixteen stretch.

2049
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,400
Speaker 1: It's not going to be easy. One game that I'm

2050
01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:33,919
Speaker 1: really excited about also is the Broncos game in Week fifteen.

2051
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,799
Speaker 1: I mean that's not set Saturday or Sunday or timeline,

2052
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 1: but it's going to be really interesting to watch our

2053
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: defense against an offense that could be really good. I mean,

2054
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: Drew Locke took off at the end of last season

2055
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 1: with what he had in Courtland Stutton and Philip Lindsay,

2056
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 1: and now they draft some really good wide receivers and

2057
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 1: now they have Melvin Gordon too, So it'll be interesting

2058
01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:59,760
Speaker 1: to see how that offense looks. And that's a really

2059
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: young offense also, like the Bills are. So that's a

2060
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: game that I'm looking into and wondering how that will go.

2061
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 1: It'll be awesome to watch the Steelers come to doing

2062
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 1: our field. Hopefully we hear renegade almost every other play,

2063
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, we Week sixteen away on the

2064
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 1: road against the Patriots. This can be a pretty intense game.

2065
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the afcast could be on the line for

2066
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: this game. It could be Buffalos for the taking. It'll

2067
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:34,760
Speaker 1: be a primetime games. It'll be interesting with how late

2068
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 1: this game is in the season. Is that going to

2069
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 1: be a good thing or a bad thing once we

2070
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,280
Speaker 1: get to week sixteen. Yeah, you haven't said much about

2071
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: the Monday night game at San Francisco. The defending NFC

2072
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 1: champs a really good defensive team. I think that it's

2073
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna be that will kind of step the tone I

2074
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: think for the month of December, that Monday night game

2075
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: ready to start, Maddie. Yeah, you know Sean McDermott Kyle Shanahan.

2076
01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 1: These are two head coaches who are entering year four

2077
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,680
Speaker 1: in their first head coaching jobs. You have a defensive

2078
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,759
Speaker 1: minded coach going up against an offensive minded coach, although

2079
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean the forty nine ers are known for their

2080
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 1: defense in many ways. And it's also I look at

2081
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 1: this game is interesting because the forty nine Ers did

2082
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 1: lose so many pieces of their offense and of their

2083
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 1: team this year, so I'm wondering what they'll look like.

2084
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: They still have a lot of pieces and Jimmy Groppolo

2085
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: still has a lot of weapons to throw to but

2086
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 1: they still lost quite a few players, but they also

2087
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: gained some players too, so it'll be a great matchup

2088
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: to watch for. It'll be interesting to see how this

2089
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:40,960
Speaker 1: team travels on the road for a Monday night game.

2090
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long trip. It could be a

2091
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 1: pretty close game. So I'm looking forward to that one

2092
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 1: because I think it's also a game where Bills get

2093
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 1: to see where they're at on the map. Have you

2094
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:58,679
Speaker 1: ever been to Denver? I have been to Denver a lot.

2095
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: Really familiar to snowboard. Yeah, my brother lives in in Denver.

2096
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 1: He actually lives in the mountains now, so I go

2097
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:10,760
Speaker 1: every year to snowboards, so quite familiar with Denver. Um.

2098
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 1: Really tough to breathe in altitude like that. I mean

2099
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 1: I get tired within the first ten minutes when I'm

2100
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: there going down the first mountain that we go down

2101
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: when we're snowboarding. So that's always a game that you

2102
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 1: have to prepare for in a different type of way

2103
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: to be able to deal with auttitude and running wise,

2104
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,800
Speaker 1: it's so hard to run a mile up there. It

2105
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: is hard to work out and do things in that altitude. Yeah. Well,

2106
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 1: with Maddy Glad the PSC multimedia reporter, Mandy, you got

2107
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: a game. You always always want to challenge me and

2108
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 1: see can't you just come on? Can't just be regular

2109
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,680
Speaker 1: guests and answer our questions? Why do you feel like

2110
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: you need to ask us a question? Time to show

2111
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 1: I'll ask the questions around here. We gotta have some fun.

2112
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: I'lways trying to have fun in this time where us

2113
01:45:56,640 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 1: stuck in our house. I was trying to count how

2114
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:01,639
Speaker 1: many weeks we've been at home for it. We think

2115
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: this is this is week ten, which is crazy. I'm

2116
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:09,080
Speaker 1: starting to lose it. So we got to play games right,

2117
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you, Steve, you can look

2118
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 1: out your window. If you look real closely, it almost

2119
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: looks like it's going to snow again, doesn't it might?

2120
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 1: I almost be snowing right now. I'm pulling the curtains word,

2121
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm pulling the curtains close. That's what's this game? How

2122
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: does what do I win? What's at stake here? Can

2123
01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 1: we put money on this? I'm sure? Why not? Of course? Yeah?

2124
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 1: Put it? Put a high five on it for for

2125
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: when we can high five next. It might be next year,

2126
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: it might be two years down the road. Distancing how

2127
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 1: does this work? What do you got here? Okay, so

2128
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 1: we're looking into the schedule even more, and we got

2129
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: a true false game, So I've got five of them.

2130
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 1: We'll see if we get to five. But just some

2131
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: questions about our opponents coming up. So I'm I think

2132
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: this is easy, and I think you guys will think

2133
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 1: this one is easy as well. I know the last

2134
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 1: time we played a game like this, it was that easy.

2135
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:04,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna throw some softball. Start off with, all right,

2136
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: one true or false? More than fifty percent of the

2137
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: schedule is against teams with winning records from last season.

2138
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm off the top of my head. Without looking true,

2139
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:24,679
Speaker 1: I'll say false. Steve, you are right, it's true. Seven

2140
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 1: out of thirteen will face so fifty fifty four percent

2141
01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: of their schedule is going to be against teams with

2142
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: winning records from last season. Okay. Per last season statistics,

2143
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:47,360
Speaker 1: the Bills will face more top ten offenses than defenses

2144
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. And what I'm accounting their top ten

2145
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: offenses is yards per game or points per game. I'll

2146
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 1: say false. I know they played great defensive teams. I'm

2147
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna see false. Yeah, say false too. I don't think

2148
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:05,920
Speaker 1: we pay that many good offenses. You guys are fifty

2149
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,719
Speaker 1: percent right. It is false. But the Bills are gonna

2150
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:13,720
Speaker 1: face seven top ten defenses and seven top ten offenses.

2151
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 1: If you can believe it or not, I'll believe it.

2152
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't care as long as I'm right.

2153
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't care. As long as I'm right, I don't care.

2154
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 1: That's good. I'm still up one mph. If you're counting,

2155
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 1: which I am, The Bills will see six quarterbacks who

2156
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: started less than six games last year. I'm gonna stay

2157
01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 1: false false false, yeah, okay, you're you're both right and

2158
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: I if you factor two in or not, you're still right.

2159
01:48:55,320 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 1: So right now, it's definitely four Broncos Drew Lock, Steelers,

2160
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Chargers Justin Herbert, Patriots Jared Sidham. And then

2161
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:10,560
Speaker 1: if you add two into that, it's five. Yeah. What

2162
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: about the chart? What about the Chargers? The Chargers are

2163
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna who the Chargers are gonna suit up? Well, she

2164
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 1: said Herbert. But even if they start Ki Roger starts

2165
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 1: six game, that's exactly right. I got you. Okay, all right, cool, okay.

2166
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: Six Bills opponents drafted a wide receiver in the first

2167
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 1: three rounds this year. I think that's true. Everybody was

2168
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 1: drafting wide receiver. Yeah, I think that's gotta be true.

2169
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 1: Six of bills, six Bills opponents. Maddie, is that what

2170
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 1: you said? Six six Bills opponents first three rounds? Yeah,

2171
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: that's true. True. You guys are completely right. So the

2172
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 1: Jets drafted Denzel Mims a second round. The Rams drafted

2173
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson. The Raiders drafted Henry Ruggs, Lynn Boulden Junior,

2174
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: and Brian Edwards. They had three wide receivers within the

2175
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:06,759
Speaker 1: first three rounds and forty nine Ers had one. Steelers

2176
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 1: had one Chase Claypool, Broncos had two, Jerry Judy and

2177
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler. Okay, none of them scamming. That felt big

2178
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: of a role. All these wide receivers play on these

2179
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: teams some it could be pretty big sum and none

2180
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: of them scare me. Can I say that is unacceptable?

2181
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:28,240
Speaker 1: I know I wouldn't really what you know. Jerry Judy, Okay,

2182
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 1: he's a first round pick. We'll see. I think. I mean,

2183
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:36,559
Speaker 1: Henry Rugs, Jerry Judy, Chase Claypool. These are all wide

2184
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:39,439
Speaker 1: receivers that I'm very interested in seeing. But again, Like

2185
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: we've said before, it's it's tough for a wide receiver

2186
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 1: to go from a college scheme to an antel scheme.

2187
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:47,560
Speaker 1: They don't run the full rout tree in college, and

2188
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL a lot of these receivers are asked

2189
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: to run the full rout tree. And as of right now,

2190
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,840
Speaker 1: all of the rookie mini camps are virtual and all

2191
01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: offseason camps could be virtual. So it'll be very interesting

2192
01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 1: to see if any of these guys are able to

2193
01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 1: adjust and play a big role on their team in

2194
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. All right, last one? Do we have time

2195
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 1: for one more? We do what we do? Okay, Josh

2196
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: Allen will play against five quarterbacks who are younger than

2197
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty. Wow, Uh, what do you count

2198
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: with Miami? Who do you count fits or two? I

2199
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:30,720
Speaker 1: am not counting two? Okay, good, you're not counting two.

2200
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's false. I'm gonna say Josh is only

2201
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty three. I mean, who's gonna play against high school guys? Yeah,

2202
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 1: I'd say I'd say false too. Josh is still a younger,

2203
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say that too. Okay, you guys are wrong, really, Sam, saying, Okay,

2204
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Sam Donald's twenty two, Josh Allen's twenty three.

2205
01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: Deared Stidham is twenty three, but he's younger than Josh

2206
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:02,639
Speaker 1: by like two months. Justin Herbert is younger, Cayla Murray

2207
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 1: is younger, and Drew Locke is younger by like five months. Okay,

2208
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: that's interesting because we think we've talked about this. We

2209
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:14,200
Speaker 1: talked about this on our show, Maddie, how the Bills

2210
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: really didn't play a lot of great quarterbacks last year.

2211
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:21,400
Speaker 1: They're playing how many six quarterbacks younger than Josh? So

2212
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: they're playing younger quarterbacks. But yeah, okay, so yeah they're younger,

2213
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 1: but they might be better than the quarterbacks all you know,

2214
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: better than some of the you know, Brandon Allen and

2215
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:34,840
Speaker 1: Hoskins in Washington. These are better quarterbacks. Even the younger

2216
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 1: ones are better than last year's crop. I also wanted

2217
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 1: to know, Okay, if he's playing against five quarterbacks then

2218
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 1: that are younger than him, then how what is the

2219
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 1: median age of all the quarterbacks that the Bills are

2220
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: going to face this year? Everybody? And it's twenty seven

2221
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: years old, everybody. I factored Tua into this. So the

2222
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,439
Speaker 1: oldest quarterback they're going to face is big Ben at

2223
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 1: thirty eight, then Fits at thirty seven, and the youngest

2224
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 1: is twenty two with is Kyler Murray, Justin Herbert and Tua.

2225
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 1: How old is Jimmy Garoppolo? You know he is twenty eight,

2226
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: Okay Russell wats in this thirty one, Patrick Mahomes twenty four,

2227
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is twenty nine. The age of these guys,

2228
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:21,599
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's also the experience. It's really a weird

2229
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,719
Speaker 1: thing too. We were talking last week Maddie that Tremaine

2230
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:28,880
Speaker 1: Edmonds is still the third youngest guy on the team

2231
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: Mills team years old. He just turned twenty two, and

2232
01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 1: Johns and so, and he's going into his third year

2233
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: of experience. It's amazing when you start getting the guys

2234
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 1: drafted and guys sticking around for a fifth year or

2235
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 1: red shirt year and they come out of college. If

2236
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 1: they're playing against guys who have a year of experience

2237
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 1: that are younger than them, it's a really strange phenomenon.

2238
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 1: I think those two guys, Josh and Tremaine, are really

2239
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,720
Speaker 1: indicative of how young these guys are and how good

2240
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 1: they get so fast. It's it's gonna be fun. But

2241
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,599
Speaker 1: those are interesting questions that in the quarter back ages

2242
01:54:00,640 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 1: and how why they span is pretty interesting. Thirty eight

2243
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:09,599
Speaker 1: for Ben and twenty two for Tyler Urry. That's Betty,

2244
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 1: What are you working on for the website or social media?

2245
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,479
Speaker 1: What kind of stuff you've been working on lately? So

2246
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:16,360
Speaker 1: right now, I don't think this will get posted this week,

2247
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:18,599
Speaker 1: but possibly next week. I'm working on a story about

2248
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 1: some of our rookies and how quite a few of them,

2249
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:24,600
Speaker 1: if you think about it, have influences from current or

2250
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,719
Speaker 1: former NFL players or collegiate players. So you have aj

2251
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:32,200

2270
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean. He was just getting warmed up. He sounded

2271
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: like he was kind of out of it by the

2272
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 1: end of the interview. He was. It was much more

2273
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 1: active than he was at the beginning. And then I

2274
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,320

2275

2278
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 1: media people for asking two questions. He was like, I

01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:56,400
Speaker 1: the right DNA. He's gonna fit in, and the culture

01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,240
Speaker 1: seeing from the Bills. The schedule this year on the schedule,

2311
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs versus Stefan Gilmore Bills Patriots is at the

2312
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense against Pat Mahomes in Kansas City Chiefs Offense?

2313
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,040
Speaker 1: Is it johsh Allon and the Buffalo offense against the

2314
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers defense? What do you think? Got seven

2315
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty votes in on the Twitter poll and

2316
01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 1: fifty six percent a majority say it is the Buffalo

2317
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:43,640
Speaker 1: defense against Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. Twenty two

2318
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: percent say it's Stefan Diggs against Stefan Gilmour, and sixteen

2319
01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 1: percent say Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense against the

2320
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers defense. I'd vote Diggs versus Gilmore,

2321
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 1: but that's I get it. I don't know. I haven't

2322
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 1: decided whether I expect the Chiefs to repeat. I know

2323
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 1: they'll be good, Steve, They're gonna be good. I don't

2324
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna be the best in the conference. Again,

2325
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. Yeah, I think they're still got

2326
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 1: to be in the conversation. I mean, don't you They've

2327
01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 1: gotten better, They've got an running back. Their offense might

2328
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 1: be you know, if I hate to say, it might

2329
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:21,880
Speaker 1: be way better, then not way better. It can't be

2330
01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 1: way better. Can well? It was a fifth top five offense.

2331
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 1: May they might go back to the number one this year.

2332
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they are definitely in the conversation.

2333
01:58:30,840 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 1: And by the time the Bills play, and we'll have

2334
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 1: a handle on how they're doing, you know, it'll be

2335
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: a six week of the season, we'll know how the

2336
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 1: Bills are doing it, or the Bills that much better.

2337
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:44,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully this game will be all kinds of crazy interesting

2338
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 1: because both teams will be playing at a high level.

2339
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to watch, and they'll be in our

2340
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 1: building and the Bills New Airfield. You know, hopefully that

2341
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 1: would be awesome to have both those teams coming in

2342
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 1: there with zero or maybe one loss and playing for

2343
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:00,000
Speaker 1: a number one seed in the conference at that early stame,

2344
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome. Let's go back to back weeks against

2345
01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: the two teams from the AFC Championship game right at

2346
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 1: tennis tennis short weeks too. Yeah, look at the real

2347
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 1: good by the time that the Kansas City game is

2348
01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:14,800
Speaker 1: over mid October, have a real good sense of who

2349
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 1: they are. I'm talking about the Bills now, who they

2350
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 1: are and how good they are right at least in

2351
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:21,440
Speaker 1: the AFC. That's right, And I think that's that's a

2352
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:25,920
Speaker 1: huge factor. And you know what that game is gonna be, Like,

2353
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 1: what we're gonna look for in that game? What are

2354
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:29,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be expecting that game end for the rest

2355
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't think it's any question that that.

2356
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, we just don't know yet. We don't know

2357
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 1: what the atmosphere is gonna be, like, we don't know

2358
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 1: what they're gonna have. Well kind of start they're gonna

2359
01:59:38,320 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 1: get off to, you know, week six, you kind of

2360
01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 1: know what'll kind of start You've gotten off. You know

2361
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:45,600
Speaker 1: how you know how you've lost those games. You know

2362
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 1: there's still gonna be a lot of hope no matter

2363
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 1: how you begin the season for the most part, but

2364
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 1: there's also gonna be a lot of things, a lot

2365
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:55,280
Speaker 1: of concerns. By that time. You know you're gonna say, oh,

2366
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:57,840
Speaker 1: we gotta do this better. That better. Every teams that way.

2367
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: And I think, I I just think that game once again,

2368
02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that that game is the game for

2369
02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:08,040
Speaker 1: this season. I guess the game. How do they stack up?

2370
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, I think another game that will help,

2371
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: that'll really say something about them is the Monday night

2372
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:17,280
Speaker 1: game in San Francisco. That is a dynamite football team.

2373
02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:22,480
Speaker 1: They're a big power defense, They're an offense that's well skilled,

2374
02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:25,480
Speaker 1: in schooled. And to go out there on a primetime game,

2375
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: and if the Bills were able to go out there

2376
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:31,080
Speaker 1: and get a victory, you know, from from middle of

2377
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:33,560
Speaker 1: May where we're at now, that looks like an enormous win.

2378
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 1: If they were able to go out and do that.

2379
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Don't know what it will mean when we get there,

2380
02:00:37,320 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, right now, thinking about him getting

2381
02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:43,120
Speaker 1: a win there feels pretty good to me. Yep, that's

2382
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 1: way out there in December seventh, right, it's way I

2383
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,040
Speaker 1: can't even think. I can't think till seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

2384

Speaker 1: What do you think I know? Right? Tweet cheat today,

2385
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Tweet cheap out here by Cargan Moving Systems, the official

2386
02:00:54,440 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills match up. You're looking forward

2387
02:00:57,120 --> 02:00:59,440
Speaker 1: to the most from the bill schedule. Chris sends this

2388
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:02,919
Speaker 1: in I chose other, but it's towards Diggs versus Gilmore.

2389
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:05,280
Speaker 1: I have to trust that Diggs will be open. I'm

2390
02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:08,320
Speaker 1: more interested to see Alan and Diggs versus anyone. And

2391
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 1: if Ally can get in the ball when he's open,

2392
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 1: up that completion percentage a bit, Yeah, Diggs will help there.

2393
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I think the best thing about Diggs and Josh Allen

2394
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I think is not that John Brown and those guys

2395
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 1: don't didn't get deep last year, but I think Diggs

2396
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 1: will be getting deep. I'm really curious. I keep going

2397
02:01:27,480 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: back to the combined interview we did with Jordan Palmer

2398
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:32,960
Speaker 1: Steve when he talked about the specific mechanical things he

2399
02:01:33,120 --> 02:01:36,880
Speaker 1: was doing to get Josh Allen to throw a better deepass,

2400
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 1: a more accurate deepass. I want to see that. I mean,

2401
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 1: I wish we had preseason, so I don't think we'll

2402
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 1: have a preseason to look at that, But I want

2403
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:45,120
Speaker 1: to see what kind of I don't think he's going

2404
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: to be perfect going deep, but you know, I mean,

2405
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:52,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer talked about a lot about visualization, dropping a

2406
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:54,360
Speaker 1: pin down there, putting the ball on the pin, talked

2407
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 1: about getting the angle of his shoulders better so he

2408
02:01:56,600 --> 02:01:59,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't overthrow people. I really think that's going to be

2409
02:01:59,200 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: very interesting to see. I can't wait to start looking

2410
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 1: at it. If Josh Allen can improve and hopefully vastly

2411
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 1: improve that part of his game, man, oh man, is

2412
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:12,280
Speaker 1: it gonna be a lot of fun to watch this offense. Yeah,

2413
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Murph. I want to see Josh

2414
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Allen play and play better than he did a year ago.

2415
02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to see him play more efficiently. I want

2416
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 1: to see this offense stay on the field in crucial downs.

2417
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I want to be able to I want to put

2418
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 1: punch it in the end zone on a regular basis.

2419
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 1: I want to score, you know, a touchdown or a

2420
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:32,520
Speaker 1: touchdown on a half more than they did last year.

2421
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 1: I want to see all that, and if all that happens,

2422
02:02:35,160 --> 02:02:38,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be the team to beat. Don't know if

2423
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:40,520
Speaker 1: it can happen or will happen, but if they can

2424
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 1: make that happen, that's all it's gonna take. I mean,

2425
02:02:43,600 --> 02:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the history of what

2426
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: teams have had to do to get deep into the playoffs.

2427
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 1: The Bills check all the boxes except for a six

2428
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:55,520
Speaker 1: or eight point difference in their average per week scoring.

2429
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,520
Speaker 1: If they can tick that box off as well, they

2430
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 1: will be the team to beat. They're not, you know,

2431
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and they're not light years away like we You know,

2432
02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:06,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to put too much fresh paint on

2433
02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:08,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills to think they're going to be in

2434
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 1: that conversation. And I'm with you, Murf. You fix one

2435
02:03:11,720 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: or two small aspects of this offense, the one being

2436
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 1: the long ball. Man oh man, it's really fun to

2437
02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 1: think about how good they could be. Yep, Well, you

2438
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 1: got tweet sheet off from Nick. He says, I'm looking

2439
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 1: forward to playing and giving New England the beat down

2440
02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:35,320
Speaker 1: they deserve from it's twenty plus years coming. There's a

2441
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of scar tissue when it comes to everybody gets

2442
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:40,040
Speaker 1: all bent out of shape when you talk to start

2443
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 1: talking about New England. You know what I mean, Burn,

2444
02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, Murf. I just

2445
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:48,480
Speaker 1: it's just everybody gets their guts in a knot when

2446
02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you start talking about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, you know,

2447
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and now that Brady's gone, you still have that level

2448
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:56,440
Speaker 1: of angst, like what if that guy comes in here

2449
02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: and and just keeps winning. You know, there's still that

2450
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 1: thought in the back of everybody's mind. But there's also

2451
02:04:03,200 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: that thought where man, oh man, when we get our chance,

2452
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 1: let's beat them like a tent peg. You know. Yeah,

2453
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:11,360
Speaker 1: people look towards to the New Wingmen games for that

2454
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:15,360
Speaker 1: reason too. Yeah. One more from the tweet sheet from

2455
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Mark Bill's defense versus Patriots offense, I expect allow the

2456
02:04:19,120 --> 02:04:23,040
Speaker 1: lunch money to be taken. Nobody considers. People don't give

2457
02:04:23,040 --> 02:04:26,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense much credit, and nor should they. Steve,

2458
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. All I know that

2459
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 1: is this Murph Well, I don't know what's going on

2460
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:32,200
Speaker 1: in New England. I don't know what their plan is,

2461
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 1: but I do know this. That is a team that

2462
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 1: is going to look a lot different than it did

2463
02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:41,840
Speaker 1: a year ago. They lost a ton of guys who

2464
02:04:41,880 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 1: were enormous, enormous contributors to their defense. Their defense was

2465
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:49,320
Speaker 1: tops in the league. Last year they lost a ton

2466
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:51,880
Speaker 1: of guys that were crucial parts of that. They lost

2467
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady on offense, who is the lynchpin of their

2468
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:02,400
Speaker 1: entire organization for different hearts of his long career. He's gone.

2469
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:06,480
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of voids to fill. But we've

2470
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:09,440
Speaker 1: seen it happen year in year out, year after year

2471
02:05:09,480 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 1: after year. The Patriots have been able to fill those voids.

2472
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 1: Maybe not in the ways that we had anticipated, maybe

2473
02:05:15,640 --> 02:05:18,600
Speaker 1: not with the faces that we anticipated, but they have

2474
02:05:18,920 --> 02:05:21,880
Speaker 1: been a team that has won with different in different ways.

2475
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 1: They were able to change their identity week to week.

2476
02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 1: And I think there's no question but for whatever we

2477
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:29,840
Speaker 1: think about the Patriots, we know they're going to be

2478
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:33,080
Speaker 1: a very different looking football team than they've been over

2479
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:36,360
Speaker 1: the last four or five years. You know, for years,

2480
02:05:36,560 --> 02:05:39,800
Speaker 1: at one observation about the Patriots, I think, you know,

2481
02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 1: Brady has been great, but he's also his greatness has

2482
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:46,600
Speaker 1: covered up many of the deficiencies in the Patriots attack,

2483
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:48,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Maybe they don't run the

2484
02:05:48,360 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 1: ball that well well, Tom Brady will hit short past

2485
02:05:50,440 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. Maybe the defense is a little bit

2486
02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:55,840
Speaker 1: soft this year, Well Brady will outscore a team. They

2487
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:58,040
Speaker 1: don't have that to Lana anymore, you know what I mean.

2488
02:05:58,080 --> 02:06:00,720
Speaker 1: They don't have that security blanket, the Tom covering up

2489
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 1: their deficiencies. I think that's gonna make a difference. I'm

2490
02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 1: not saying we're going to bottom out. I think they'll

2491
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:07,040
Speaker 1: win eight to ten games, but I think it must

2492
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:09,960
Speaker 1: be a big difference for them. And I'll say this too, Murphy,

2493
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: for all that happened last year and how everybody said,

2494
02:06:12,160 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 1: well Tom Brady was just mediocre last year. He wasn't

2495
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:18,000
Speaker 1: that good. He wasn't you know. Their defense was outstanding

2496
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: last year, and they had zero weapons besides Tom Brady

2497
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,320
Speaker 1: on their team. They had Julian Edelman, who was playing

2498
02:06:27,600 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 1: hurt a lot of the time he was playing. He

2499
02:06:29,760 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: got it out. A tough season, a long season, no question,

2500
02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman was a warrior last year. But they had

2501
02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:38,000
Speaker 1: they had nobody on the outside. They went through everybody,

2502
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, Antonio Brown, They brought in Mohammed Sanu. He

2503
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:48,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get it up to speed. Nikkil Harry was out

2504
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 1: with an injury. For a huge part of the season.

2505
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was thrown it to people he didn't know,

2506
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 1: and yet they won twelve games. He just kept them

2507
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: competitive enough on the offensive side to get them to

2508
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:05,800
Speaker 1: twelve wins. Now they were one and done in the playoffs,

2509
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:09,440
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, tom Brady did enough offensively to

2510
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:13,120
Speaker 1: complement what was a stellar and a stifling defense, and

2511
02:07:14,040 --> 02:07:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's all they needed to get to twelve wins.

2512
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:20,240
Speaker 1: Last year. I think with weapons and guys on the outside,

2513
02:07:20,280 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady would have been a much much different quarterback

2514
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:27,560
Speaker 1: last year. And I think that's he's not there. He's

2515
02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:29,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be the guy that picks up that kind

2516
02:07:29,720 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: of slack this year. He did. For all his pathetic

2517
02:07:34,560 --> 02:07:37,920
Speaker 1: or to him comparatively speaking, his pathetic statistics last year,

2518
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:40,480
Speaker 1: I still think he was a lynchpin of why they

2519
02:07:40,520 --> 02:07:43,960
Speaker 1: won twelve games. Okay, he see, we got to mention this.

2520
02:07:44,160 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: Up until January. Bill Tierling spent the last couple of

2521
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:50,600
Speaker 1: years coaching the Bills defensive line. He came in with

2522
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott built Tierlenk had the Bills. He was assistant

2523
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 1: d line coach in twenty seventeen and was the head

2524
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: d line coach last two years. Left in January to

2525
02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:03,040
Speaker 1: go to Virginia Tech. He's now the defensive line coach there. Um.

2526
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 1: It was announced overnight that his father, long time NFL

2527
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 1: coach John tier Link, passed away. He was sixty nine

2528
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 1: years old. Last coaching job was at Indianapolis. He was

2529
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,680
Speaker 1: there for eleven years. He had White Freeneye there. Robert

2530
02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:16,320
Speaker 1: mathis regarded as one of the best defensive line coaches

2531
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:19,480
Speaker 1: in recent history in the game. He was Bill Tierlenk's father,

2532
02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 1: and we send our condolences to the tier Link family.

2533
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:23,920
Speaker 1: Bill tier Link was a good guy coaching the Bill's

2534
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:26,840
Speaker 1: defensive line and did a good job with him and

2535
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:29,280
Speaker 1: his father. You know, took after his father, who was

2536
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,560
Speaker 1: really good, really strong. Did you you recall that name

2537
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 1: at all, John? Oh? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He was a big,

2538
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:38,920
Speaker 1: massive guy, tremendous, tremendous coach. It was in It was

2539
02:08:38,960 --> 02:08:41,680
Speaker 1: a fixture in Indianapolis for a long long time. I

2540
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:45,240
Speaker 1: was a good player as well. That's that's too bad.

2541
02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: That's uh. There. He cut He cut a swath through

2542
02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League with his coaching and as a player.

2543
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:53,240
Speaker 1: And I know there's a lot of people that are

2544
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 1: really going to miss him, and um, you know you

2545
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 1: want to tip your hat to him for his contributions

2546
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:00,960
Speaker 1: to the National Football League. He was, Uh, he's a

2547
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:03,840
Speaker 1: great coach and a good player. Yep, you got a break,

2548
02:09:03,880 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: and then we're back one Bill's Line presented by Collata Health.

2549
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:19,760
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. So want we learned rocket

2550
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:23,520
Speaker 1: last guy works the official construction equipment rental company of

2551
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:26,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What have we learned from our guests?

2552
02:09:26,280 --> 02:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Vincent mont Signoria or Vitty as he prefers to be called.

2553
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: We asked him how strong I'm a grasp does Derek

2554
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Carr have on the starting quarterback position with the Las

2555
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:37,440
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. Here's what he said. I think he's gonna

2556
02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:40,400
Speaker 1: be on a I think he's gonna be on a

2557
02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:42,560
Speaker 1: pretty long lease here, and I think that, you know,

2558
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:45,520
Speaker 1: to talk to Raiders people, they kind of understand that

2559
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,560
Speaker 1: it's been hard to get a real gauge on the

2560
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:52,360
Speaker 1: car in terms of what the ultimate ceiling is because

2561
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:55,520
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been around a good team. I mean,

2562
02:09:55,840 --> 02:09:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, whether it was the offensive line being terrible

2563
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: or no running game or like last year and they

2564
02:10:00,240 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 1: didn't really have that explosive. They thought they had him

2565
02:10:02,920 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: in Antonio Brown, but we all saw how that happened.

2566
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:08,040
Speaker 1: What happened with that, or he's a good defense there's

2567
02:10:08,040 --> 02:10:11,400
Speaker 1: always something that kind of prevented him from saying, from

2568
02:10:11,480 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: taking ownership of this team and taking it to another level.

2569
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:17,000
Speaker 1: But all those excuses to be honest with you are

2570
02:10:17,080 --> 02:10:20,040
Speaker 1: out the door. They've done a really good job of

2571
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:25,960
Speaker 1: rebuilding around him defensively and offensively. That's Vinnie Bounsingery talking

2572
02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:28,480
Speaker 1: about Derek Carr and the Raiders. Also on the show today,

2573
02:10:28,520 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab joined us eartlier this hour, went through the schedule,

2574
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:33,839
Speaker 1: told us about the game she's looking forward to, especially

2575
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 1: the Bills Kansas City Chiefs game. Buffalo's defense trying to

2576
02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:40,960
Speaker 1: shut down the Kansas City Chiefs offense. It'll be interesting

2577
02:10:41,040 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 1: to see how this offense does against the Chiefs defense,

2578
02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:50,200
Speaker 1: and how our defense does against such a successful offense

2579
02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:53,400
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. Mitch Morris is playing against his old

2580
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:57,080
Speaker 1: team in the Chiefs. Trey White and Tyron Matthew, they

2581
02:10:57,120 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: both went to LSU. It's a top three defense in

2582
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 1: the Bills against the top five offense in the Chiefs.

2583
02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how Clyde Edwards Hilaire grows

2584
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:10,160
Speaker 1: in a role with that team and how Zach Moss

2585
02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:12,400
Speaker 1: grows in a role with our team. So I think

2586
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:13,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be a game right off the

2587
02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:17,000
Speaker 1: top in the first six weeks that really shows the

2588
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:20,440
Speaker 1: world and the Bills where they're at in terms of

2589
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 1: competition and can they play with the best out there.

2590
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Maddy Glad went through the schedule. Maddie was a breath

2591
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:30,080
Speaker 1: of fresh air that this show needed today. Steve, there's

2592
02:11:30,080 --> 02:11:32,240
Speaker 1: no question about it. He has heard or two false

2593
02:11:32,320 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 1: about what the Bills were going to face. Interesting stuff

2594
02:11:34,760 --> 02:11:37,720
Speaker 1: and some of the age categories of the Bills, and

2595
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:39,640
Speaker 1: plus some of the rankings that are playing a top

2596
02:11:39,760 --> 02:11:42,840
Speaker 1: seven offenses and top seven defenses in the league from

2597
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 1: a year ago on their schedule. It's it's gonna be

2598
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:47,720
Speaker 1: a great year, a lot of fun year. It's gonna

2599
02:11:47,720 --> 02:11:50,240
Speaker 1: be good. So it'll be great. I can't I can't

2600
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:52,760
Speaker 1: wait to see these games if we get a chance to.

2601
02:11:53,480 --> 02:11:56,320
Speaker 1: I know a little bit of snow here in Archerpark, Steve,

2602
02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:58,720
Speaker 1: you see it what slow? No? Not here in East
