1 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields. 2 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: in the strated beer of normalcy. Let's get it rolling here, 5 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker on a Tuesday, getting you tuned 6 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: up as we inch closer to the super Bowl. Super 7 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five. And there are varying degrees of interest 8 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: in this game. There are people that make sure they 9 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: watch this game every year just because of the spectacle 10 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: and the culmination of another NFL season. People will watch 11 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: it no matter who's in it. You, I mean, you've 12 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: got to. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody. I'm 13 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: not really, but most people have invested at least some 14 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: semblance of their fall television viewing to a football game, 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: and to maybe this year more than any other. Right, 16 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: so this year, you would think, more so than any other, 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: everybody's got a little skin in this game to see 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: who's actually gonna win the whole thing. It is the 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: only sports league that with the most players, most coaches, 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: most staff, biggest rosters, all of that stuff, and still 21 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: got every single game in all its inventory. Was was 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: put out there and to get all the way to 23 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: the championship game. There's there's I think there's gonna be 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of interest in this game. Five thousand fans 25 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: will be at the game, thirty five thousand cardboard cutouts. 26 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: We don't know how the seating arrangements are gonna go. 27 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: Is it gonna go real person three cutouts? Real person 28 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: three cutouts? Good question, just good question. I read that 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, I wonder what the configuration 30 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: is going to look like, right? Or do the cardboard 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: cutouts get the worst seats because they're not real? Well, 32 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: I got they gotta use the whole place though, right, 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna have to sit in the upper dad. 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: I think I think the main aim there is to 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: make it look full. But I am gonna but I 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: will say this, you paid if you paid three grand 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: so a cardboard cutout could sit in front of you, Yeah, no, 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: the cardboard cutout gets better seats than you. I'm going 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: with no on that, um. And if that is the case, 40 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: I am switching seats with the cardboard cutout because it's 41 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: not like the guy's gonna fight me. Well, you gotta 42 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: go down, pull the cardboard out, put them in your 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: seat and go sit down in that guy seat. Well, 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: how are you gonna do that when there's a live 45 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: human sitting next to that cutout? Well maybe there is, 46 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: We don't know. Yeah, I mean that's the thing. Yeah, 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna have Yeah, they're gonna and what are you 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: gonna do? You're gonna go by yourself? You gotta sit 49 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: with somebody, right, I suppose? And if boy difficult decisions 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: here first world problems and what about and this is 51 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: this is where the rubber meets the road, the real 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: crux of the issue. What about our corporate sponsors, Brownie, Well, 53 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: they're sitting in all the suits. As we understand it, 54 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: there's how a couple of thousand people in suits? You know, 55 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: there's going to be a Presumably those people are either 56 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to all be in a pod or tested, 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: I would think, because they're gonna be Well, it's open 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: air down there. Those suits are open air. So maybe 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: right at the sweets down in Tampa, open air. I 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: think they can open open them up. But yeah, because 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: you're in Tampa, that'd be like three three four, you know, 62 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: just one wall off the off of a room that 63 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't be like open air. Yeah, well they might consider 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: it as such. We don't make those decisions. No, we're 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: just speculating about them. And I'll tell you this though, 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I've been to a bunch of Super Bowls, right mostly 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: is this just in mostly as a broadcaster, four of 68 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: them as a player, and the venue has everything to 69 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: do with with how that game goes, with how that 70 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, how good it is to watch. I've been. 71 00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: I've been. I've been in Miami, New Orleans, Uh, Tampa, 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: I've been to San Diego, Old Jack Murphy. Did you 73 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: go to the Jacksonville one in five? I did not miss. 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: I went down there during the week just for some 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: duties that I had to do that um, largely unimpressive. Yeah. 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: Did they bring in ships? Yeah? Because you know they 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: have that whole hotel river away the problem, right, had 78 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: a hotel shorty they did? They brought cruise ships in. Um. Yeah, 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know all of that. 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: I only kind of went in and went out because, Um, 81 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: I was down that way anyway visiting family, and I 82 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: drove down because I had to do I was doing 83 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Bill's digest at the time, and I had to do 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: some stuff with the paper and try to publicize it, 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: radio row, that kind of thing. And I was in 86 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: and out. I didn't stay overnight. I didn't need hotel accommodations. 87 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: But that was my own only exposure to the week. 88 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: That is, you know, the Super Bowl. Um, because I 89 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: was in college when you guys were playing. You forget 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: what a madhouse that is. Yeah, absolutely so I really 91 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: didn't have anything to compare it to, right, But I 92 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: think in my mind's eye, I was thinking it was 93 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: bigger than what I witnessed in Jacksonville that here it was. 94 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah that I left unimpressed. You forget how crazy that 95 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: gets down there. I mean, yeah, absolutely bonkers bonkers. Yeah, 96 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: New Orleans, are you kidding me? Tampa, Miami South Beach 97 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It was the other one in Pasadena. 98 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Pasadena for us. We had on Atlanta one, 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: but you know, went Minneapolis. I was with Mini Ja 100 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: don't even do Pasadena anymore. I don't even know for 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: a while, not for a while. Well, LA is going 102 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: to be the new one in the rotation About the 103 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: new stadium, Yeah, it's going to be that stadium. Yeah, 104 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: that'll be in the rotation. But still it's you forget 105 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: at how just absolutely crazy it is. Radio Row. Yeah, 106 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I saw a national news report on 107 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: at this morning. Better to do, you know as to 108 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: what it's like now with you know, the Chiefs aren't 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: coming down until Saturday. It's usually the world descends on 110 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: your respective city where this game is being hosted, and 111 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: that's just not the case right now. And even the 112 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: NFL experienced stuff that they do, you know, all the 113 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: little obstacle courses and stuff. Those are usually indoors in 114 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: a convention center. They've got them set up outside to 115 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: be safer presumably, you know with COVID, you know, open 116 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: air to make those accessible to fans that are milling 117 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: around or a ton of walking traffic everywhere. Usually you're 118 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, but that's just not the case. That's the 119 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: same thing. And it's yeah, the it's it's zany because 120 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, Radio Road comes down and what happens is 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: that the media kicks it off on Monday night with 122 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: a media day, right, so both teams come out to this. 123 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: They usually have it in the hockey arena with it 124 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: where it's all the fans are up in the stands 125 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: and the media is all on the ice. It's all 126 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: covered obviously carpeted and all that, and they got stands 127 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: and podiums and all that. So it's just like this 128 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: big show. You sit there and watch all these people talking. 129 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: And he got some media people who are their own 130 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: show as well. And that's right, So that you got 131 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: that going on. That happens on Monday night, and you know, 132 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: Tuesday's kind of the same thing, and say acceptance during 133 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: the day. Thursday of Super Bowl week is when everybody 134 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: shows up. The fans make it a long week, and 135 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: we're going down on Thursday there. So Thursday night is 136 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: when the population of the city mushrooms and he just 137 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: goes and all of a sudden, no restaurants. All restaurants 138 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: are full, all the bars are full. The streets are 139 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: got thousands of people walking around. Every open door, people 140 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: going in and out of no matter what establishment it is, 141 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's a drug store or a 142 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: bar or a pass station. Everything is packed. Traffic is 143 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: a wreck. It is nuts. It is for the one 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: super Bowl i'd went to that it wasn't like that. Minneapolis. 145 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: It was a ghost down. Nobody's going up. That's the 146 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: last time they did that. Well, they went, they did Detroit. 147 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: All the buildings were like full because everybody had to 148 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: be off the street. Yeah, nobody wanted to be outside. 149 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: It was like dangerous cold. Yeah, dangerous cold. Now they 150 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: did a super Bowl in Detroit. That was the That 151 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: was Bill Cower's only super Bowl when the Steelers won 152 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: and beat the Seahawks. What was that four oh five 153 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: oh five oh six somewhere in there, super Bowl forty 154 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: I think it was. That was the Jerome Bettists homecoming 155 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: in Detroit and everything. And then they did the New 156 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: York one kind of the nine to eleven, you know, 157 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: make good thing. Let's do a Super Bowl up here 158 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know, try to help the area recover. 159 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what I mean. We heard all of 160 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: these reasons why they wanted to do one there, and 161 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: that happened, but really the vast majority of them have 162 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: been in warmer climates for obvious reasons. One of the 163 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: reasons you stated, no one's going outside in Minneapolis in 164 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: late January. Yeah, we did. When when Super Bowl twenty 165 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: six was in Minneapolis, Uh, some of the guys we 166 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: went and watched the Dallas Stars take on the Minnesota 167 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: north Stars. Was it Dallas? No, it was La Kings. 168 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it was La Kings against the north Stars, 169 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: right because the Jallas or the Minnesota north Stars became 170 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: the Dallas Stars. So I was in there somewhere, I 171 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: was right, Um, So the La Kings were there, Gretzky 172 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: and that crew were there, and we all were in 173 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: this in a big suite, and so the games were, 174 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: you know, hanging around games over. So we go listen, 175 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: we're you know three, we're why. We're ways from the hotel, right, 176 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: so let's go outside, go down the block a half 177 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: a block and catch a cab and get out of 178 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: here right, well, you know from Buffalo, right, So we 179 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: get out of there, walk down a half a block 180 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: and hailed a cab and it just in a half 181 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: a block walk. I thought my ears were going to 182 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: snap off. So cold, I'm guessing you are properly dressed 183 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: for half a block walk outside. We had coats and 184 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: I have a hat. It was so cold, so I 185 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: literally thought I was gonna have damage. It was so cold. Damage, 186 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: So cold it was. And we were out there like 187 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: three minutes tops, yeah, and it was like it was 188 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: it was literally dangerous, literally dangerous. Now. I had heard 189 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: that they have a tunnel system there. Oh yeah, is 190 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: that legitimate, like you know, building to building, block to block, tunnels, walkways, 191 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: it's all closed. Yeah, and don't go outside. No, no, 192 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: okay they did that then, but we were because I 193 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: had been there a couple of times for either Builds 194 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: games or when I was doing UB games. They played 195 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: in Minnesota one one or two years in a row 196 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: um early season, you know, matchup against the Power five conference, 197 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, get paid to go play him, that kind 198 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: of thing, and you know, it was September or October, 199 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: and it wasn't that bad. So I always wondered about that, 200 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: like where are these tunnels that they talk about and 201 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: do they really exist or is it just kind of folklore? 202 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: But they do you've been in Oh yeah, yeah. You 203 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: can't get around with that. And it's and I was 204 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: thinking back, what was the nicest you know, I think 205 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: really we played in the Super Bowl in Atlanta, but 206 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: it was the Old the Old Stadium which was new then. Yes, 207 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: it only existed like twenty five years or something. It was. 208 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: We were in it from the Super the Georgia Dome, right, 209 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: the Georgia Dome. We were in it and it was nice, 210 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: but you know, probably it was so new that they 211 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, they put these designers in there and they 212 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, give it a feel and all that. Right, 213 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: So we go in the locker room. It's all n aesthetics. Yeah, 214 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: you know what they it's typical somebody who is not 215 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: an athlete designed in the place here because you know, 216 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: the stools in front of your locker. You need a 217 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: low stool with a broad space to sit on and 218 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, so you can get you both feet on 219 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: the ground so you can sit there and you know, 220 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: reaching it out of your locker. You know, you got it. 221 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: It's a workspace basically. Yeah, you go in. They've got 222 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: like high bar stools right with no arms, no like 223 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: no on this. Yeah, and they gotta like you gotta 224 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: put your you can put your feet up on it, right, 225 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: it's got bars, ye, Like yeah, that's that's dumb. That's right. Wow, 226 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: so dumb, so dumb. What are you doing? And somebody 227 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: when I when I called it quit, when I retired, 228 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: I bought the stools. I took my locker stool with me. 229 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: They gave it to me, and then I bought like 230 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: six more of them and they all have Yeah, they 231 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: were nice, they were sturdy. I remember we were nice. Yeah. 232 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Now now they've got rich Mahogany, I think, OK. Actually, yes, 233 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: he's way a ton but I still got him, Still 234 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: got him. I'm built to last man for sure. Uh. 235 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: In case you didn't hear it on the Instigators prior 236 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: to us coming on the air, Tonight's Sabers game at 237 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: the Islanders is being postponed due to the NHL's COVID protocol. 238 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: There were some weather issues too at work here that 239 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: kept them from traveling down yesterday, but it looks as 240 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: though COVID measures are what's holding this one up. Well, 241 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: the Devils have an outbreak, Sabers just played the Devils. 242 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,599 Speaker 1: Um if so facto? Am I right with that? Is 243 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: that the trail here? Or am I missing something? So? 244 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: And then? Yeah? And the Sabers couldn't get out of 245 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: town last night because of what snow. Yeah, but it 246 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: actually proved to be a blessing in disguise here. They 247 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: might have got an inkling. Perhaps they said, you know what, 248 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: don't take the trip, just wait to see how this 249 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: plays out, and you come in tomorrow. If nothing out 250 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: but yeah, they but you know, the New York metro 251 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: area got blanketed with snow foot and a half in 252 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: New York, even more out on the island, so they're 253 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: digging out down there, which you know, could they have 254 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: probably gone today? Yes, I think the airport would have 255 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: been cleared. The airport's down there, would have been cleared 256 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: to take flights coming in, although they are severely backed 257 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: up after yesterday's cancelations. But they would have found a 258 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: way to do that. Heck, even if they had to 259 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: fly into MacArthur Airport out a nice slip, which is, 260 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, not nearly as much flights going in and 261 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: out of there as there are at LaGuardia or JFK. 262 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: So that's always an alternative, especially when you're playing the Islanders. 263 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: But so that's postponed and I guess it'll be rescheduled 264 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: at a later date. And I think people are anticipating 265 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: this is going to continue to happen. We've seen the NBA. 266 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean they're losing two and three games like every 267 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: couple of days, right, So yeah, this is this is 268 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: the NHL and the NBA operating without a bubble this 269 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: time around. They finished their seasons last year in bubbles, 270 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: and it was widely successful because if the virus doesn't 271 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: have a way in, there's nowhere for it to go 272 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: and everybody's good. Um, they are not operating that way 273 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: now and understandably so. But it's going to be a 274 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: challenge and it'll be interesting to see how effective these 275 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: other sports leagues are because it's you know, as as 276 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: much as we want to applaud the NFL for getting 277 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: their entire game inventory in in twenty twenty, we have 278 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: to remember in the grand scheme of things, they probably 279 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: have the easiest lift of all the professional leagues because 280 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: they only play once a week. It leaves so much 281 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: wiggle room to reschedule games, which was done as we 282 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: know for the NHL and the NBA, you know, playing 283 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: every eighty two games schedule for the NBA, which they 284 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: reduced that, um, and they reduced the NHL schedule to 285 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: fifty six games, so they but even so you're still playing, 286 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: and they're doing back to backs to try to alleviate 287 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: some of that and reduce the travel risk therein because 288 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: anytime you put a team on a plane, put them 289 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: in yeah, I mean, you're just exposing them again. So 290 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they're doing what they can to make it 291 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: work more efficiently, but I think we're going to continue 292 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: to see this until more of the general population gets vaccinated. 293 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: And to this point, I think on average it's about 294 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: thirty five I think I saw it on the news 295 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: this morning. Thirty five to forty states have eight percent 296 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: of their respective populations vaccinated at this point. There were 297 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: some other states lagging behind with only six percent of 298 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: their population vaccinated. But while it's made a dent and 299 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: cases nationwide have dropped, it's not going to eradicate it 300 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: to the point where I think the NHL and the 301 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: NBA are not going to see other speed bumps here 302 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: on the horizon going forward. And the Major League Baseball, 303 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: the union rejected and proposal from the league to delay 304 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: opening Day. I think they want to push it back, 305 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: hoping that vaccinations will make putting a regular schedule in 306 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: place more realistic. But the union rejected that because they said, well, 307 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: there's no protections for us if you delay the delay 308 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: it again, and delay it again, and delay it again, 309 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: and then that hits us, you know, in our wallet, 310 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: and we already took a hit last year. So we're 311 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: not doing that again, so I wasn't surprised to see 312 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: the Union reject that in turn without even really thinking 313 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: about it. Speaking of COVID, the Chiefs have two players 314 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: on the COVID list. They are not positive cases. They 315 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: are close contacts because of a barber. So and this 316 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: is no fault to the Chiefs, because the Chiefs were 317 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: actually testing their team barbers every day that they would 318 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: come in and do haircuts for players, which is a 319 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: common thing. Yea, not necessarily every day of the week, 320 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: not usually once a week. Usually they come in once 321 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: a week and they catch everybody, like on a Friday 322 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: before the Sunday games, soever, they look sharp for the weekend. 323 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: You know, It's true. It looked good, feel good, play good. 324 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: So it's a common thing, and it's a it's a 325 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: little bit of a ritual, a little bit of a routine, 326 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: and it's a bonding thing as well. And lots of 327 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: guys do it and some you know, some players turn 328 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: out to be pretty good barbers too. They take it 329 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: up and they you know, they get some skills. So 330 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: all of that's going on. It's having a barber test 331 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: positive is big well. And the thing was, so they 332 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: were testing these barbers. Knowing these barbers were coming in 333 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: on whatever day it was, presumably last Friday or maybe 334 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: this Monday, who knows. All the entire week leading up 335 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: to barber day, they were testing the barbers because there's 336 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: like a handful of them, you know, not just one guy. 337 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: You got like a handful of guys, because you got 338 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: fifty three plus players in the locker room, seventy guys 339 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, with the extra practice squad shairs in the building. Yeah, 340 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: they're testing these barbers every single day. Yeah, they got 341 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: to reduce the exposure risk. And the barber that was 342 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: working on Daniel Kilgore and wide receiver DeMarcus Robinson, who 343 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: are the two close contacts, literally found out about his 344 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: positive test with Daniel Kilgore the backup center in the chair. 345 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: So it's like, how does that like his test from 346 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: the previous day came back positive, and he's like, son, 347 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm culling those guy's here right now. 348 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: That stinks. Yeah. Now now if they test negative for 349 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: the next four days, they will be eligible to still 350 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: play in the game. Everybody had probably I get I 351 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: presume they had masks on. Yeh, yeah, they had masks 352 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: on so it's yeah, so it's it's one of those 353 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: things where no, but you know, you think this guy's 354 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: not gonna Killgore's not gonna get it. Neither neither is Robinson. 355 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta do it. I mean, it's 356 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: just the way it works. He where masks are not right. Yeah, 357 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: And when I say this, teams actually have barber's chairs 358 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: in the locker rooms. Yeah, it's bills have something. Yes, 359 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: it's common, it's very common. So it's right in the 360 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: locker room bathroom there. So that's why they, you know, 361 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: bring barbers in presto chango. So hopefully those guys can 362 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: test negative and can play or at least be eligible 363 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: to dress or stand on the sidelines if they're inactive 364 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. Although DeMarcus Robinson Robinson should 365 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: be an active player, don't know necessarily about Kilgore, who's 366 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: a reserve lineman. So yeah, so there's that and then 367 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today in dealing with the Super Bowl, 368 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: we're just curious as to the draw, like, what's the 369 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: top reason you'll be tuning in to the Super Bowl 370 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday. We all know that everybody more often than 371 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: not watches it just because it's the Super Bowl. But 372 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: what is pulling you in, what is keeping what is 373 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: going to keep you engaged in the game on Sunday, 374 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: like the number one reason you want to watch this thing. 375 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: I have to believe in Buffalo especially, there could be 376 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: conflicting influences in terms of rooting interest. There are those 377 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: here who will always hate Tom Brady no matter what, 378 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: and they will root against him until they die, just 379 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: because of all the headaches and disappointment he has handed 380 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills over the year over the years. But 381 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: I do it's interesting, Steve, because in some of the 382 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: people that I've spoken with, whether it's in my neighborhood 383 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: or just on the phone, that live here locally, some 384 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: are saying, so I gotta phrase this the right way. 385 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: They're not rooting for Brady, but they're interested to see 386 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: if he can win a seventh and do it without Belichick. 387 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: That's in a lure for some Western New York football 388 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: fans who are Bills fans, admittedly, But despite all the 389 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: hate for Brady over the years, it's like something has 390 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: changed since he's gone to the Bucks, Like the hatred 391 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: doesn't run as deep for some people. For Brady as 392 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: it used to when he was playing for the Patriots. 393 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: And I'm curious as to why that is. Well, because 394 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I have two people in my own household who despise 395 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: him and cannot They will not be able to stomach 396 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: it if he wins another one on Sunday preaching the choir. 397 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: My whole house is full of people who stick needles 398 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: in there, Tom Brady doll. But let me just say this, 399 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: Belichick's still in our division, and we still he's still in, right, 400 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: So Brady divorcing that Bill Belichick. So the the enemy 401 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: of my enemy is my friend. So Brady turning his 402 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: back on Belichick kind of like softens your stance again. 403 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: I said, see, he kind of you know, it took 404 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: him twenty years, but redemption is a long road. So 405 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: if so, I think that's kind of part of it. Yeah, 406 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: Brady in in some small measure for a lot of 407 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: Bills fans. He hates Belichick like we do. I think 408 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: they perceived as that. Yeah, they perceive. They seem just 409 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: fed up with it. He's going to do his own thing, 410 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: and to see him go off and have great success 411 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: makes you feel better about your chances against the Hoodie 412 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: and you feel like he's it by being successful. Exactly, Okay, exactly, 413 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: And I think people are kind of on board with 414 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: that aspect of this, with Brady being the the engine 415 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: that ran the ship over there, and now that he's 416 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: kind of proven that if he goes to and wins 417 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: this super Bowl, people are like a little bit more 418 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: okay with the fact that he left um and it 419 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: it confirms all the suspicions you had about how fun 420 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: it was to play for Belichick kind of some way 421 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: now here. Let me just go on record now for 422 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: my own those two guys are like Pete, They like 423 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: each other. Those guys are great. Tom has said this 424 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: week and his media stuff that he owes Bill a 425 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: lot and has a great relationship with him, and it's 426 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: all that. But nevertheless, on the surface, Tom left for 427 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: a reason, and it's fun for Bills fans to have 428 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: all kinds of theories in their head. Makes wonder why 429 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: did I think there are some also just in people 430 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: have to hey, what do you think about the Super Bowl? 431 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: What do you think about the matchup? Some have told 432 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: me they don't like repeat winners, it's boring. The Chiefs 433 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: are an exciting team to watch, I mean, they're good television. 434 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: I get it. They won last year and you don't 435 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: want to see them win. Then there are some Bills 436 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: fans who have told me, I do want the Chiefs 437 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: to win, because then that will signify to me that 438 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: we lost to the best team in the league this year, 439 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: and that's it. Took the best team in the league 440 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: to knock us out of the playoffs. That's a typical 441 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: tournament mentality. You lost to the eventual champion, so nobody 442 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: was going to beat that team, let alone. So so 443 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: we are curious at eight oh three, oh five fifty one, 444 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty, what's the top 445 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: reason you'll be tuning in to Sunday's Super Bowl? What 446 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: is the what is the engagement factor for you that's 447 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: going to keep you glued to the television for the 448 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: duration of this game. Some of the things some people 449 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: are to callings maybe the best quarterback matchup of all 450 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: time between these two young Tom young Pat Mahomes. It's compelling. 451 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Here's one of the reasons why 452 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: if Mahomes wins the end, if they the Chiefs win 453 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: and he wins the MVP Awards, Sunday Night. This would 454 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: be the second Super Bowl featuring two quarterbacks who have 455 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: won multiple MVP Awards. It would be the only one 456 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: where both quarterbacks had already won multiple MVP awards. Obviously, 457 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: Brady's won those multiple times, and now Mahomes has won 458 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: the MVP and the Super Bowl MVP. Right, so they 459 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: both won multiple MVP awards. It would also be two 460 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: of them. They would be two of the three quarterbacks 461 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: in league history to have thrown fifty touchdown passes into season. 462 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: There are two of the four quarterbacks in NFL history 463 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: to come back to back win a Super Bowl after 464 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: trailing by double digits. Brady did it and won back 465 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: to back against the Falcons, and Mahomes did it last 466 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: year coming back from twenty down to the Tampa Bay 467 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: Buccaneers or from ten points down to the Buccaneers. There 468 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: are two of the sixth starting quarterbacks too have ever 469 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl at twenty five years or younger. 470 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: And there are two of the eight quarterbacks who have 471 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: thrown for five thousand yards in a season. Now, there's 472 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: some other matchups. I mean, you think about this, John 473 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: Elway versus Joe Montana and Super Bowl twenty four. Yeah, 474 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: that wasn't much of a game though Terry Bradshaw and 475 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: Roger Staubach had those two, wasn't it. That was the 476 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: last super Bowl by Joe Montana. Here's an interesting thing 477 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: about Joe Montana. He won four suit and never lost 478 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. He won four and he never threw 479 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: an interception in any of the four super Bowls. Guy 480 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: was Joe cool man. He's money man. It was money 481 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Joe money wow. Okay, all right, So and then another one, 482 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: John Elway versus Brett Farr. That was a good super Bowl. 483 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: That was a good super Bow, Sandy. That's the one 484 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: of the ones I went to as a super Bow. 485 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: That's when h Terrell Davis was the was the MVP 486 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: of that one. So there's a lot of and Bart 487 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: Star versus Lendy Dawson. You get these names that are legends. 488 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, legends, Fran Tarkington, Bob Greasy, Terry Bradshaw, Fran Tarkington, 489 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Joe Montana. That happened. Remember that that was 490 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: Joe's first one, I think, or maybe a second second, 491 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: one second. He won an eighty one, eighty four, eighty eight, 492 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: eighty nine, right, so that was eighty four one. Yeah. Uh. 493 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: Then about Jim Kelly, Troy Aikman, both Hall of famers, 494 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: just like Marino Montana, all these guys, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner. 495 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: That was an underrated one. Yeah, And it was relatively 496 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: low scoring because the Patriots kept the score down. Their 497 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: defense was really good that year. It's the only Super 498 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: Bowl man was in sixteen thirteen, the final or something. 499 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: It was low scoring game. Brady versus Kurt Warner is 500 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: the only Super Bowl matching starting quarterbacks who each won 501 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: multiple NFL MVP Awards. Those that's heavyweights right there. That's 502 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: that's Frasier. That's Frasier. I'll leave right there, you know, 503 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean seriously. Yeah. Then there's some other like Roger Staubach, 504 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: Bob Greasy, Frank Tarkenton, Kent Stabler, Tom Brady and Eli 505 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: you know, Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson. That's not bad and 506 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: that was recent, you know, and then Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson, 507 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Russell Wilson. So Russell Wilson was throwing the 508 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: ball in the one yard with Marshaw ball to Marsha. 509 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: He was tearing them up on that whole drive. You'd 510 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: one back to back. That's unfortunate. That's that's but that 511 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: you know a ton of these honorable bart starred Lenny 512 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Dawson way back in Super Bowl one. Gosh, there's some 513 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: unbelievable matchups, unbelievable history with a capital H. All right, 514 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we come back, 515 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: we'll get to the phones at eight oh three, five 516 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: fifty DJ and Connecticut will lead us off. So hang there. 517 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: We'll get to you when we return. Here on One 518 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, 519 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, Tuesday edition of One Bills Live, 520 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: and we are asking you on the Twitter poll today, 521 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: what's the top reason you'll be tuning into Sunday's Super Bowl. 522 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: We know that most people watch it anyway, but what's 523 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: keeping you locked in? What are you most interested in 524 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: witnessing or finding out in terms of the outcome of 525 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: this game. There's interesting Western New York Bills fans that 526 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: are kind of on the fence a little bit about Brady. 527 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: Some still hate him to the core and don't want 528 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: to see him win a seventh of his career and 529 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: there are others whose stance is softened a bit now 530 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: that he separated himself from the man that everybody sees 531 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: as the devil incarnate in Bill Belichick, at least in 532 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: these parts. So I'm curious to get some of the 533 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: responses today on that, on the Brady equation and then 534 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: on the repeat equation, namely the Chiefs going for the repeat, 535 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: the fact that the Bills lost to them in the 536 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: AFC title game and how that's impacted their leanings in 537 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: Sunday's game as well. There's some Bills fans that are 538 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: still mad about the Chief's loss and the way it 539 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: went down and the chippiness and the fines and all that, 540 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: and as you know, it wasn't We've seen way worse 541 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: games than that. Chippiness wise, I mean it was, yeah, 542 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: I get it. But some people are like, I don't 543 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: want the you know what I mean, They're just they 544 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: got that, and so that there's a whole you get 545 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: the whole rainbow of opinions about who they want to 546 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: win and why, and what the dynamics are in Bills 547 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: fans and hey, you're happy, let's hear about it. I 548 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: want to you know, well, that's right, And with that 549 00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: in mind, we go to the phones where there isn't 550 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: put a line for you at eight O three five 551 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: fifty eight five fifty two five fifty and we lead 552 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: off today with DJ in Connecticut. DJ, what do you 553 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hi, guys, 554 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: thanks another good show. Um, Thanks Steve and Chris. I 555 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: think it was last Thursday or Friday. You guys were 556 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: recounting them the season and put it back in perspective 557 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: coming off the bad loss a week ago Sunday. So 558 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: so thanks for that. It kind of walked me off 559 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the ledge. But UM replayed the game, the AFC game, 560 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: and I got a couple of questions. UM. First of all, Steve, 561 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: from a players standpoint, when bass or when you were 562 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: in the situation when when somebody misses an extra point 563 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: and this wasn't just an extra point, it was the 564 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: difference between ten zip and nine zip And does that 565 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: does that have an effect on the players who are 566 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: watching it or are they just like, oh, yeah it's 567 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: nine not ten. Uh, you know, everybody makes a mistake 568 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: or you know whatever. But but do you think that 569 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: weighed on the on the players at all that first 570 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: half I don't know. I think it probably basts more 571 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: than any of them. I think once once you do 572 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: that and you get your mind around it, you kind 573 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: of tend to forget about it. As a player. You've 574 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: got things you gotta do. You know, you say, okay, now, 575 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: all right, so we're up nine instead of ten. It's 576 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: like three field goals instead of a touchdown field goal. 577 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: It's yeah, we didn't get every point we should have, 578 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: is basically it. And I think that does it sticks 579 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: with you for a couple of minutes maybe, but until 580 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: you can start playing again, you kind of forget about it. 581 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: So um, you don't think about it until you know, 582 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: sometime later, if you're coming back and you're trying to 583 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: do the man, I think, well, what would how would it? 584 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: Would that kick have been a big difference right here? Maybe? 585 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: Maybe not. That's about all it does. I don't think 586 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: it affected the way they played. Uh. You know, you 587 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: can get into the analytics of it and going for 588 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: two and all that later, but nothing that happens now. 589 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: You just you just kind of buck it out and say, Okay, 590 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: we gotta get we gotta get some more points, isn't it. 591 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, even all of us thought, you know, nine 592 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: points wasn't going to do it anyway, right, right? Do 593 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: the players talk amongst themselves about a mistake like that, 594 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: not any more than I just did. Okay, that's you know, 595 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: like an odd dang it. You know, I wish we'd 596 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, I wish we needed that and let's go this. 597 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: And then what it really does is you kind of bucking. 598 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: I'll say, okay, we gotta go get it back, let's 599 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: go that kind of that kind of talk, particularly in 600 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: a team at that level, when you're in the AFC 601 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: Championship game, your players are thinking about, hey, how do 602 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: we spin this positive, Let's go. It's more like that 603 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty they're pretty tough to knock out at 604 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: that point when you're at that point of the season 605 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: when you've had so much success. Okay, okay. One thing 606 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: that really struck stuck out to me the first especially 607 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: the first half, was how incredibly aggressive and actually mean 608 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: aggressive Kansas City and specifically the Kansas City well both 609 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 1: the offensive line but specifically the defense and almost kind 610 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: of like a Baltimore Ravens type, you know, just constantly, 611 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: constantly just pushing the envelope and obviously that Christopher Jones 612 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: hit flap punch whatever and all the other you know, 613 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: after the whistle kind of crapola. But it seemed to 614 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: me that the Bills didn't match that level of intensity. 615 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know how you guys think about that, 616 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: but you know how everyone talks about the three levels 617 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: of play, the preseason, regular season, and postseason. It seemed 618 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: to me that the Bills weren't ready for that level 619 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: of intensity, almost kind of like the Chiefs were not 620 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: in my house? Do you do this sort of stuff? 621 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: And I was wondering if you guys have any either 622 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: of you thoughts about that. I think it's a thing DJ, 623 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: I think it's true. I don't. I'm not saying just 624 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: in this specific case where the Bills, and I think 625 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: the Bills were plenty ready to do that. I think 626 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: you're there's a there's a lot of facts. Every game 627 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: is a little different, and in this game against Kansas 628 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: City the Bills, what I would say is there's a 629 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: couple of things work. And one, it was a home 630 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: game for the Chiefs. They did have a crowd behind them, 631 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: they had been there before, and they were playing their 632 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: best football, and they weren't. They did step up like 633 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: that against a Bill's team. That was kind of their plan. 634 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: I think I think the officials Brandon I had this 635 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: conversation yesterday. I think the officials were laying out a 636 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: little bit. They didn't They kind of let the chippiness go. 637 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 1: They didn't call, and obviously the sucker punch didn't get called. 638 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: And then there's a couple of other things that really 639 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: a lot of which was probably a good note call 640 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: by the officials. But I think because they missed some 641 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: of the stuff and let it go, it did escalate 642 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I did think we talked about 643 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: it before the Baltimore game. Baltimore notoriously plays ultra physical 644 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: and dares the officials to get involved in a game 645 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: like that in the playoffs. I think you're right to 646 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: do it that way because the officials don't want to 647 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: get involved in this, and they figured the discipline and 648 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: the level of play by both these teams will carry 649 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: the day rather than them having to put a lid 650 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: on it. And I'll say this one more too. I've 651 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: had coaches, head coaches and former head coaches tell me this, 652 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: and you can equate it to Sean McDermott. In the 653 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: culture here. They want a lot of great, solid, hard 654 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: working guys who have a lot of integrity, who are professionals, 655 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: great leaders, highly motivated within and all of that. They 656 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: want all those guys. They want them with you know, 657 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: wife's kids, mortgages, responsible guys who are professional who are 658 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: always trying to improve that growth mindset. That's all they want. 659 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: And then they say, you know what, you also need 660 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: maybe a handful not even a handful of guys you 661 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: just hope aren't in jail and show up on time, 662 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: that kind of gritty edge that they don't care what 663 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: the odds are, They're gonna come out swinging that kind 664 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: of edgy attitude. Uh, you know, we had get like 665 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: Darryl Talley, guys like that who would would fight, right guys. 666 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's right, And that's why John Feliciano is 667 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: a valuable asset to this team. Jerry Hughes kind of 668 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: Jerry is on that bit like that. They're you know, 669 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: guys like that, and I think the Chiefs have an 670 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: abundance of those guys. They do. And and I'll go 671 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: as far as saying that I think their approach the 672 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs approach, and the start of that game, as you 673 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: referenced DJ was twofold. Number one, it was to try 674 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: to intimidate the Bills and say, hey, this is how 675 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: you play in an AFC title game. We've been here before. 676 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: Let me show you how it's done and see if 677 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: they have a response. And number two, they did it 678 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: to see just how much they could get away within 679 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 1: the game. What are the officials gonna do today. They're 680 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna swallow their whistles, or they're gonna throw 681 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: flags and call this thing tight. And after Chris Jones 682 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: slugs John Feliciano on the side of the head with 683 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: a closed fist and nothing happens, chiefs are like, all right, 684 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: it's free game today, let's go right and and flags 685 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: were not thrown, people were not disciplined for in fractions 686 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: that were outside of the rules, and so chiefs said, 687 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: all right, it's free game time, let's go, let's play 688 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: um and and the Bill did not respond in kind. Now, 689 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't think you can make any kind of supposition 690 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: you wish as to why there wasn't an equal and 691 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: probably in a case like that, justified response until the 692 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: latter stages of the game. You can speculate all you 693 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: want as to why that was or why it wasn't, 694 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: but meeting that level of intensity and nastiness did not occur. 695 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assessment DJ that you had. 696 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: How much did it impact the outcome of the game. 697 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: You can do all the guesswork you want on that. 698 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the coaches and the players knew 699 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: they got outplayed and they got outcoached. They said as 700 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: much after the game was over, and even coach McDermott 701 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: in his reassessment and after watching the game on tape, 702 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: made that assessment, we were outplayed, we were outcoached. That's fine, 703 00:38:55,160 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: And his final comment in summing that up was we 704 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: learned a lot from this game. So I think if 705 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: the Bills get back to that level again and get 706 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: back to the AFC title game, you're going to see 707 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: a much different team in terms of tone, the tone 708 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: and temperament on the field, and you're going to see 709 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: a much different approach from the coaching staff, which in 710 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: my estimation, is going to be more aggressive and going 711 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: for it. And you know, you can slice things anyway 712 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: you want in hindsight, because as we all know, hindsight 713 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: is twenty twenty, But I think those are the primary 714 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: lessons learned from that game. You better be coming out 715 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: ready to fight to the death because what's on the 716 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: line is a chance to play in the ultimate game. 717 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: So as much as you may have felt you knew 718 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: what playoff football was about in terms of intensity level, 719 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: they may have learned something in that game against the Chiefs, like, oh, 720 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: it goes up another notch because now this is the 721 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: chance to go to the ultimate game, and guys are 722 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: willing to do anything, and I mean anything to get there. Yeah, 723 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: you've got to elevate your mentality, no question when you 724 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: get And you got to think though that the wildcard 725 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: round of the division round probably kind of the same thing. 726 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: They're the same game. They're playoff games on the way 727 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: to the championship game to get to the super Bowl, 728 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: and the Bills going to one, getting kicked out of one, 729 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,399 Speaker 1: missing the playoffs, and then coming back going to one 730 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: and having a big lead and having it and blown 731 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: it in Houston, and then coming back this year winning 732 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: at getting the home game, winning the home game, winning 733 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: another home game. You kind of they Okay, we're on 734 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: Now you got another step up, you know, and that's 735 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: you're playing against a team that is the Final four. Yes, 736 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: you're playing against the final four NFL team at a 737 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: time when everybody's playing their best. You got to bring something. 738 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's something that they learned. It's an 739 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: extra level and you've got to kind of coaches players, 740 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: you gotta go for it from the Monday after the 741 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: Division round all the way through that game. You gotta 742 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: go for it. And that's I think maybe they did. 743 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: It is something they learned, and I you know, I 744 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: gotta tip my hat to McDermott and those guys for 745 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: being humble and smart enough to say, you know what 746 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: they got us they just reviewing the game, being self 747 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: aware enough to realize, you know what, we you know, 748 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: we needed to go on this, We should have done 749 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: that that kind of stuff. We could have gone forward 750 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: in those fourth downs at least one of them, you know. 751 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: And you got to think too, if they get that 752 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: first one thing, well maybe we'll go for another one. 753 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,800 Speaker 1: That kind of thing. Who knows. And that's why McDermott 754 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: and his season rapp up press conference are saying, that's 755 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: that's why we ask the hard questions because if you 756 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: don't ask the hard questions and look for their solutions. 757 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: There's no way to elevate yourself and be a better team. 758 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: It's just words. I mean McDermott when he comes out 759 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: and says, listen, I gotta be better. That resonates from 760 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: his office, through the general manager's office, all the way 761 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 1: down through the coaches, and certainly through the locker room. 762 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: If I got a guy up there, head coach, DUI 763 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: who with the wherewithal and the all the cash at 764 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has earned in his locker room, If he's 765 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: saying that about himself, what does that say about me? 766 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: A guy who's on the squad trying to keep my job. 767 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: That kind of what I gotta do. That's leadership, and 768 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: that's every guy in the locker room's gonna say. Well, 769 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: if he thinks he needs to get better, I better 770 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: not get left behind. And these guys are going to 771 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: be have a firelid under him. Break time for us. 772 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: But when we come back, I'm gonna bounce off Steve 773 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: what he feels his team learned after the eighty eight 774 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: AFC title game and how they parlayed that going forward. 775 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we return here on One 776 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio, 777 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live Tuesday edition. And 778 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: we I wanted to bounce this off Steve, because you know, 779 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: we were talking with one of our callers, DJ and 780 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: Connecticut frequent listener and caller of the show, and lessons 781 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: learned Steve from a game like that going forward? You know, 782 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: coach McDermott said, we have learned, we learned a lot 783 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: from this and will be better for it going forward. 784 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: So it prompts me to think, Okay, Steve, what did 785 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: you guys learn in eighty eight when you were unsuccessful 786 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: in the first AFC Title Game appearance against the Bengals, 787 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: lost twenty one to ten. You know, tough sledding in 788 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: that game. For sure, you don't make it to the 789 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl the next year in eighty nine. We know 790 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: that whole saga, big rain Bills and whatnot. But you 791 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: go to the next four Super Bowls. You know, you 792 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: get to that AFC Title Game in ninety January ninety 793 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: one and you obliterate the Raiders from the face of 794 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: the earth. Granted they had some injuries, right. Did Jay 795 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: Schrader not play? No he played the re injury. The 796 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: only injury of no Ja was Bojacks back. That's the 797 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,280 Speaker 1: week after he got his hip dislocated by the Bengal 798 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: in that game. UM, I think one you think you 799 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: did and it's and I don't know if I'm if 800 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: now that I'm projecting this onto what, but I'll tell 801 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: you this, Um, the playoffs turn it up a notch um, 802 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 1: and we we beat the Houston Oilers in Buffalo. Then 803 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: we beat another team in Buffalo. Maybe there's I don't 804 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 1: know who the second team was we beat in the playoffs. 805 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: Head it was the Houston Oilers, uh seventeen ten. We 806 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: beat them, and then there was another playoff game then 807 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: and then we went to the championship game in Cincinnati. 808 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: And I think the one thing we learned in that 809 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: championship game in Cincinnati is just what we've been talking about. 810 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,399 Speaker 1: You gotta trust yourself and you can you'll be able 811 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: to go for it. You gotta trust yourself and when 812 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: there's opportunities, you gotta take them. Um. I think that's 813 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: one thing we learned in the Cincinnati championship game, and 814 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: I think it carried us over even into the nineteen 815 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: ninety or eighty nine wildcard round against Cleveland. It was 816 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: just the Oilers we had were twelve and four and bye. Yeah, 817 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: that's right. So we played the Oilers in the seventeen 818 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: Division round. We go to the Cincinnati and you know, 819 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: and and lose a tough game. The next year and 820 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: eighty nine, I think one of the things we carried 821 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: with us from the Cincinnati game was the willingness to like, 822 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: you know what we're changing, We're gonna go. It's working. 823 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 1: We started doing that no huddle thing in the eighty 824 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: nine playoff game in Cleveland, and the Bengals did some 825 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: of that themselves right with the TI it was different. 826 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: It was called no huddle. They called it no huddle. 827 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: Ours was hurry, kind of fast, no hubble. There's was 828 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: no huddle for a different reason, and you have to 829 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: talk to them about why they did. Both were called 830 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: no huddle, but they were different philosophies. And then in 831 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: eighty nine, after that eighty eight championship game, that was 832 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: a game where offensively, man, we just cut it loose 833 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: and went hard. That was that. You know, Don Beeby 834 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: got banged on his head and the ball pop loose 835 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: and and them Well that was in Cleveland, right, yes, 836 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: and the incomplete pastor Ronnie Harmon in the corner. Um 837 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: Thurman had like fourteen catches or something like that in 838 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: that game. He was just unbelievably unstoppable game. Um. In fact, 839 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: you know, for a guy like me, I think Eric 840 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,720 Speaker 1: Metcalf returned to kickoff for a touchdown on us Um 841 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: he was a pretty good return. He went right, He's 842 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: pretty good listen. So you know, stuff like that sticks 843 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: with you. But I think that eighty eight championship game, 844 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: did you guys say that, like, did you feel like 845 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: you met met the intensity of the moment? Like, because 846 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: we're talking about that with the current Bills team, Like, 847 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if they met the intensity needed to 848 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: take a game like that. Did you come out of 849 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: the game with that or was there something else? This too? 850 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 1: The one thing I learned, I learned just what we've 851 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 1: been talking about, You've got to throw it all out 852 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: there in a championship game. Because I remember lining up 853 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: for a punt and it was a safe punt. We thought, okay, 854 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 1: they're they're past the fifty and they're gonna punt it. It 855 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: It was out. It's like the forty five or something 856 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,399 Speaker 1: like that. They break the huddle of their punt format, 857 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 1: the punters back there. I look up and it's Anthony 858 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: Munios in front of me, who's a Now, he's a 859 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tackle. He's never on the punt team. 860 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: And I and I smelled a rat. I didn't call 861 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: a time out. I could, but we had it defended. 862 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: But the guy broke a tackle and got loose and 863 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: he just got the at first down. Otherwise, you know, 864 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: I call a time out, they have to rethink it 865 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: or we get our defense back out there and all that. 866 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: So I, you know, I just like I should have 867 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: I should have tested myself. I should as a team. 868 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: Did you guys say, like like, I'm just curious what 869 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: the conversations might have been like going home or even 870 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: to me the conence offseason, the conversation was this, we 871 00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: missed an opportunity. It was missed. Now we got and 872 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: we gotta do this again. You know that kind of 873 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: thing we gotta It's it's one where you it's because 874 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: then you gotta watch that super Bowl and watch all 875 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: that stuff. Anythinking man, what we should be we should 876 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: be there? Yeah, we should be there. That's that's the crusher. 877 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 1: That's the crusher. Wow. Three Yeah, turnovers in that game too, 878 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at some of the numbers here. You 879 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,479 Speaker 1: guys only had the ball for twenty minutes in that game. 880 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: Twenty minutes thirty one seconds was time of possession. Lost 881 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: twenty one to ten. Jim had a tough day fourteen 882 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: to thirty four, one thirty six, a touchdown and three picks. 883 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 1: Also got sacked three times, only completed forty six percent 884 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,479 Speaker 1: of his passes. So and that and to their credit, 885 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean that Cincinni defense was good that year. I 886 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: mean they had a good group. Yeah, um, and they 887 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: were opportunistic and even running the football was tough. Seventeen 888 00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: carries forty five yards. I mean that's that's a good 889 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: day against your crew. Seventeen carries forty seven forty five 890 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: yards for your rushing offense. I mean, man, they just 891 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: shut it all down. You guys had a hundred and 892 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: what is that one hundred and one hundred and eighty 893 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: three yards that was They locked it down. Yeah, they 894 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: locked it down. And it was you know, we weren't 895 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, eighty eight were we were? We were not 896 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: that full formed, you know, peaked. Yeah, yeah, we were 897 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 1: still figuring it out that that was the first That 898 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: was a first year. It was kind of a people 899 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,720 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a one off year because 900 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: we were out of the playoffs, and you know, then 901 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: we came out and snapped off twelve and four and 902 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: everybody thought we were gonna go right back to seven nine. 903 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: You hadn't peaked yet. You guys were fourteenth in the 904 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: league and scoring, you were only averaging twenty one points 905 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,799 Speaker 1: a game. We had some, but your defense was silent. 906 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 1: We had some worked fourteen point eight points allowed. Yeah, 907 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: because if I remember, Norwood was big that year for 908 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,919 Speaker 1: you guys. He had a lot of field goal kicks 909 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: to win some games, ton of short attempts to yeah, 910 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: ten seven. You know, you guys were winning games like 911 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: that net year more than anything else.

The fans were eventually removed from 946 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: the game and didn't seem too happy about it, as 947 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 1: one woman reportedly made an obscene gesture on her way out. 948 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: The incident happened with little more than eight minutes left 949 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of the Lakers eight point victory. 950 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: After the Major League Baseball Players Association rejected a proposal 951 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: by a Major League Baseball to delay the start of 952 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: the season, the league said it would start spring training 953 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 1: and the regular season as schedule.

Yeah, 979 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: Well that's easier on us too because I don't have 980 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: to travel all around the country games a week, right, 981 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 1: And I also said this, no matter how easy it was, easier, 982 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: not easy, it's still and then I've been saying it 983 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: for weeks. It's an enormous accomplishment for the National Football 984 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: Legue to get two hundred and fifty six games in 985 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 1: a regular season, games all the playoffs. Certainly there were 986 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: some snaffoods during the regular season, some teams had to 987 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: jump around, jumple around their schedules, but to get all 988 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: the regular season games in and the playoffs now headed 989 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 1: into a super Bowl, it's pretty astounding that they got 990 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: all that done. It is and it's a testament to 991 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: the league to a degree, to the teams, to the 992 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: players themselves, and the players Association, because everybody worked in accordance. 993 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 1: Obviously there were snaphews, Obviously there were outbreaks, and things 994 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: like that, But in general, people had to be following 995 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 1: the rules because if they weren't following the rules, this 996 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: would have trained wrecks sometime installing November, and I don't 997 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: know what we'd be talking about this week. The Bills 998 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: had their season rap up press conferences this past week, 999 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: and it was interesting because they did touch on a 1000 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 1: subject that you took a deep dive on, namely Buffalo's 1001 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 1: rushing attack or lack thereof this season, as they decided, hey, look, 1002 00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,399 Speaker 1: we're not really good at running the ball on first down, 1003 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,479 Speaker 1: so we're going to be thrown in an awful lot, 1004 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: maybe more than anybody else on first down this season. 1005 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 1: But I found it interesting, Mike, that some of your 1006 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: analytic research came up with a similar conclusion to what 1007 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 1: the Bills did with respect to the status of their 1008 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: run game. It was their opinion to a large degree 1009 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 1: that the problem was not the backs as they saw it. 1010 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 1: They saw problems in terms of consistency with the line 1011 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, battle upfront, among other things. And I thought 1012 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 1: some of your numbers that you came up with were 1013 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 1: very telling, at least in support of Devin Singletary and 1014 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 1: Zach Moss and that was this. They both ranked pretty 1015 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: high in broken tackle percentage in the league, and they 1016 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: both ranked pretty high in yards after contact among the 1017 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 1: league's running backs. I think both of them are in 1018 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,319 Speaker 1: top fifteen in both categories. So maybe just tell us 1019 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,280 Speaker 1: what those numbers say, because because because the coaching staff 1020 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 1: and the general manager were on the same page as you, 1021 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: this is not a running back talent problem. These are 1022 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: there are other elements involved, But maybe just tell us 1023 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 1: what the analytics say to you. With that respect, it's 1024 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 1: not a running back problem necessarily. Nor was it the 1025 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 1: head coach in general managers saying, oh, we're going to 1026 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: go back to ground and pound tactics, which a lot 1027 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:16,879 Speaker 1: of times, as soon as the coach starts talking about 1028 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: running the ball, it's like, oh, no, he's going to 1029 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,359 Speaker 1: go back to the nineteen fifties. It's not that I 1030 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: think that that impression at all. When I was impressed 1031 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 1: by and when I did a lot of breakdowns of 1032 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: the Bills using some analytics, is they were they were 1033 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: really bad at running the football on first down, and 1034 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: they were exceptionally good at throwing the football on first down. 1035 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: But the good news is they threw the ball a 1036 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 1: lot fans of saw and they did not run the 1037 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: ball that much. I mean, obviously you run the ball 1038 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: once in a while, but they were in the bottom 1039 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: third of teams in terms of how often they run 1040 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: the ball on first down. So they knew what they 1041 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: were good at, they knew what they were bad at. 1042 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,240 Speaker 1: When you go back to Singletary, you go back to Moss, etc. Yeah, 1043 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 1: they were in the top five, top ten, and things 1044 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: like breaking tackles and things like getting yards after contact. 1045 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: And yet when you look at their per carry averages, 1046 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: they were low. When you looked at things like success rate, 1047 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: which is basically a fancy way of saying, how many 1048 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: times do you get when you'd gain on first down, 1049 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, some little plunge that gets nowhere, they had 1050 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: very little success rates. That means they weren't getting back 1051 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, or they were breaking two 1052 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 1: tackles to gain two yards. That sort of situation was 1053 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 1: coming up too often. So you know, I dug and 1054 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 1: dug into the data. I looked at the film to 1055 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: a degree too, and I look through it, and you 1056 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: know what I discovered is it's not a major problem. 1057 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: This is not a problem whether they're calling terrible plays 1058 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 1: or the backs are terrible. It's a matter of them 1059 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: kind of like like optimizing things a little bit better. 1060 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: And maybe that involves getting another back and having a 1061 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,280 Speaker 1: three person rotation or wassketing more experience. Probably involves play 1062 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: calling to a degree, and just the way some of 1063 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: these things are designed. But you know, McDermott and everybody 1064 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: have a point. They do it, and day Ball they've 1065 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: got to run the ball better, more efficiently, but not 1066 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,400 Speaker 1: necessarily run it more or when it was a difference 1067 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 1: set of guys. Yeah, so, and that's what I was 1068 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: going to get to next. And day Ball has a 1069 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: hand in improving the running game, not only by the 1070 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 1: timing or the style of his play, but also maybe 1071 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 1: just play plain old play selection, run inside the tackles 1072 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: rather than trying to run wide in certain situations. How 1073 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 1: much of it does fall on that, I think it's 1074 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: a lot of that. I mean, I looked at first 1075 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 1: downs and I was looking at you know, how many 1076 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,919 Speaker 1: how many defenders are in the box on first down, 1077 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of times there's six defenders in the box, 1078 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: and first down you've gotten all those guys back on 1079 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 1: their heels out covering receivers and that's exactly what you want. 1080 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 1: And so in those situations, was day ball running the 1081 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: ball he was he's supposed to. It's like, oh, cool, 1082 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 1: I got the matchup, by what do we do? Then? 1083 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: A lot of times it was an outside run. It 1084 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 1: was like a zone stretch type of thing, something to 1085 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: the outside, or it's a while, it was like a 1086 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, an end the round. And those weren't necessarily 1087 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: the most efficient calls in that case, and they didn't 1088 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: gain a lot of yards. The Bills were very bad 1089 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 1: at running outside, especially on early downs where yeah, you 1090 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: think about it, there's not that many defenders in the box. 1091 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: Just hit them hard, hit them right up the middle, 1092 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: go you know, go right up the gut. There was 1093 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: a little bit less of that. So it could be 1094 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: a matter of just again, it's oz you've done such 1095 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 1: a good job getting the matchup you won as a coach. 1096 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: They're back on their heels on first down there, not 1097 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 1: expecting to run, heeling to him the run. Make sure 1098 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: you call the right run at that time, and you're 1099 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: going to get more production. So that's good news if 1100 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 1: that's what you're down to. It's a very easy thing 1101 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: to solve. It's not like this big organizational wide problem. 1102 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: It's like I'm not quite doing things the exact proper 1103 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: way and a couple of most little changes because have 1104 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 1: very positive runs. There are solutions there. Number one, you 1105 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 1: either run up the middle, you know, point A to 1106 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 1: point B logic. There, nobody only got a light box. 1107 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 1: And if you go wide, you allow those players that 1108 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: are lining up deep to flow to the football before 1109 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: you're over the line of scrimmage. And that's why they 1110 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: probably had some of the less than desirable games that 1111 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: they did. So so that begs the question you either 1112 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 1: run straight ahead with the guys that you have, or 1113 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe get a more explosive player. Then, because Singletary and 1114 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 1: Zach Moss are not home run hitters, I think we 1115 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 1: can all agree on that, So maybe you're third man 1116 00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 1: that you add to the rotation. As you suggested, Mike 1117 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: is of the more explosive variety, So if you are 1118 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: going to run wide, he gets there a lot quicker. Yeah, 1119 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: you can do that, and that's exactly what you can 1120 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 1: get that that traditional jitterbug type guy. You can get 1121 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,000 Speaker 1: him in the fourth round of the draft. You can 1122 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: get a guy who's been around in the league a 1123 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: little bit in free agency. I don't know anybody off 1124 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 1: the top of my head, but those guys are usually 1125 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: out there and they can be the little jitterbug, or 1126 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: they could be the home run guy. It could be 1127 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 1: some wide receiver, running back hybrid. You can also just 1128 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 1: look at each of those plays and one thing I 1129 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: did not do. I did not look at every outside 1130 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: run you know. You know, but Dave Ball, Will McDermott, Well, 1131 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: they're going to look at that and say, maybe we 1132 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: just have to adjust the blocking scheme on some of 1133 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: these a little bit so that we're not letting somebody 1134 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: flow through, etc. There's a lot of ways that you 1135 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 1: can address address this problem without you know, a first 1136 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: round pick or some big investment or changing everything you 1137 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: do on offense. Yeah, they win a lot more zone 1138 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,439 Speaker 1: blocking scheme, Steve. In the second half of the season, 1139 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: they almost abandoned any kind of gap scheme, which they 1140 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 1: used more last year than they did this year. One 1141 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,919 Speaker 1: of the big things, you know, obviously, the running game 1142 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 1: was one of the shortcomings of the offense. One of 1143 01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,880 Speaker 1: the things that drove the entire team and became a 1144 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 1: strength of the offense was Josh Allen in his development. 1145 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 1: He wrote an article also about all the things that 1146 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: went into Josh Allen getting better. Certainly it was the 1147 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: patience of the organization and his physical skills. And you 1148 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: also made the assertion, which I found very interesting, almost 1149 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 1: impossible to replicate what the Bills have done with Josh Allen. 1150 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: Get into why it's going to be difficult for other 1151 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,480 Speaker 1: teams to do what the Bills got done with their quarterback. Well, 1152 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things broke right, and a lot of 1153 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: things from an organizational patients standpoint, really went well for 1154 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 1: the Bills, and that they made the commitment to Allen, 1155 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: theyde the commitment to McDermott, Dade, the commitment with day Ball. 1156 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,440 Speaker 1: Those guys Dables made the commitment to the team. He's 1157 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 1: not going anywhere this year, so you can continue that improvement. 1158 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: You had a cap situation in place where you could 1159 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: the cap could grow and you could bring in Beasley 1160 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 1: one year, you bring in Digs the next year. Your 1161 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 1: offensive line kind of coalesces together. Most teams do not 1162 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 1: do what the Bills did in the last couple of years. 1163 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 1: And you know that because you guys have been following 1164 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the Bills for years and they didn't do that. You know, 1165 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: after two years of coach was on the hot seat. 1166 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 1: After two years there was a quarterback question. And for 1167 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: two years of the general manager change, you have all 1168 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,919 Speaker 1: those things happened. Oh you know, you get into cap 1169 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 1: trouble and you have to lose guys instead of gaining guys. 1170 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: None of that happened with this particular Bills team over 1171 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons. And that's again, it's a 1172 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: commitment to the organization. It was a commitment to allen 1173 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: effort and energy on the part of everyone along the way. 1174 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: And if teams try to do the same thing, you know, 1175 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 1: if the Jets try to do this, they're not going 1176 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 1: to be able to do it, probably because they're the Jets. 1177 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 1: Same thing with the Jaguars. So it's a lightning in 1178 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 1: the bottle situation. It's a model for how you should 1179 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 1: do things. But we've all covered the NFL for many, 1180 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,919 Speaker 1: many years, is not usually how things get done well. 1181 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 1: I think the two components that I think other NFL clubs, 1182 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and you know I can include the Bills in this 1183 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 1: equation at least before the McDermott regime came into town 1184 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: player development, I think is still something that a lot 1185 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 1: of clubs in this league struggle with. Players are talented 1186 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 1: enough to succeed in this league, but they get when 1187 01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: they get to the pros or get to the team 1188 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 1: that drafts them. They don't advance their game once they're there. 1189 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: And the Jets have had that problem probably for the 1190 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 1: better part of the last forty years in terms of 1191 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 1: developing players. And I mean Sam Darnold has not gotten 1192 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 1: better since he's gotten to the Jets through two coaching 1193 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: regimes already, So he's just one small example in that. 1194 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 1: And then I think the other thing is correctly identifying 1195 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the player and what their commitment level is to becoming great. 1196 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,320 Speaker 1: And it was evident to me just based on all 1197 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: we've heard. You know, we have Bill's myopia here, so 1198 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: but they have they identified in Josh Allen, Yeah, there's 1199 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of multiple clay here 1200 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 1: that has to get better. Is he committed to being 1201 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: part of that getting better process? And he unquestionably was. 1202 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 1: And so that combined with a staff like Dabele and 1203 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey who were able to mold that talent shape 1204 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and whatnot, that's what you have now. And I think 1205 01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: there are too many teams in this league that are 1206 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: devoid of that. And we even ask Brian Billick, you know, 1207 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: a guy who's been around the league for forty years, 1208 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 1: have you ever seen this kind of a maturation and 1209 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: improvement in a quarterback prospect? And we have to remember 1210 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 1: this is a guy that drafted Kyle Boehler. Yeah, you know, 1211 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: and he said, he said, it's unprecedented. I have not 1212 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,320 Speaker 1: seen improvement to this level. So that's why I'm kind 1213 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: of fearful that your suppositions are right, Mike. It's gonna 1214 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 1: be hard for other teams to replicate this. Yeah, other teams. 1215 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 1: It's like, well, the guys first year, he's a defensive player. Oh, 1216 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we're switching for a three four to a four three, 1217 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 1: So you were standing up for all last year's practice. 1218 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna be on a three point since this year. 1219 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Then the next year, new general manager comes in, Hey, 1220 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: I want my guys. I've got my own system. So 1221 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're competing with somebody else, or 1222 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 1: the first round rookie comes in and like, oh, he's 1223 01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,960 Speaker 1: going to get all the reps because the general manager's 1224 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,479 Speaker 1: entire reputation is on the first round rookie, you see 1225 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: all of these kind of things and it's you know, 1226 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 1: it's it's political, or it's it's it's impatience or whatever 1227 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: along the way. But what you said is that generally 1228 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 1: guys don't develop, and teams will work hard with their 1229 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,439 Speaker 1: quarterback and try to develop their quarterback. But you saw 1230 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the Jets and it was like, okay, time to change coaches. 1231 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 1: Now this other coach has this crazy agenda. Now he 1232 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 1: brings in his coordinator. Now there's questions about this. Oh, 1233 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: we got rid of all the wide receivers because we 1234 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 1: didn't like them. They cost too much money, and and 1235 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: and a guy like Sam Donald doesn't develop. So yeah, again, 1236 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: so many things do have to break right. And it's like, 1237 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 1: I hate the word culture because people, you know, a 1238 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: new coach comes in and starts jumping up and down 1239 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,439 Speaker 1: about culture and next thing you know, he's talking about 1240 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 1: biting kneecaps or whatever. But they did it, They the 1241 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills did it. They said, this is going to 1242 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: be a slow cooking, organizational wide cultural thing where we're 1243 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 1: going to develop the guys that we think can work 1244 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: with and take our time with it, and paid off 1245 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: this particular season, and it can pay off again in 1246 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: future season. What do you think about this the Super 1247 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 1: Bowl coming up on Sunday. What are your thoughts about 1248 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and all that's been said about 1249 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks in this matchup. Well, I think I 1250 01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 1: speak for a lot of Bills fans out there. I 1251 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: am really really sick of Tom Brady. I mean, you know, 1252 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,360 Speaker 1: I love them, I respect them, but it's kind of 1253 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 1: like hearing, you know, Bruce Springsteen Born to Run on 1254 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 1: the radio again. It's like, Okay, I know this song 1255 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 1: changed the channel. I know it's great. Please give me 1256 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 1: something else. But you know, as I look at this 1257 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: matchup for a real instinct says I want to take 1258 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and say they're going to win 1259 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,919 Speaker 1: by thirty. And I can watch the Week twelve game 1260 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 1: over and over again, a see Tyreek Kale catch two 1261 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three yards of passes and etc. The 1262 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 1: more I stack up the little things about this game, 1263 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 1: things like the penalty advantage that the Buccaneers have. They 1264 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 1: have very few penalties called against them. The Chiefs have 1265 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of penalties called against them. Goal line situations, 1266 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are very vulnerable at the goal line. They 1267 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,520 Speaker 1: give up a lot of touchdowns or that's a weakness 1268 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: for them. Short yardage situations is a weakness of the Chiefs. 1269 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: They have a hard time converting fourth and one. They 1270 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: give up a lot of fourth and one. You put 1271 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 1: all those things together, and I think we might be 1272 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: looking at, yes, another championship for Tom Brady and lots 1273 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 1: of talk about about his legacy and all those things 1274 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys love to talk about up there 1275 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Yeah, talking to Mike Tanner, NFL national writer 1276 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 1: for Pro Football Net, I'm just gonna breeze right past that. Mike, 1277 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 1: m and contributor to The New York Times, h you 1278 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 1: had a piece biggest storylines to follow this offseason, and 1279 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: obviously with losing in the AFC title game, we're already 1280 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: onto the off season up here in Buffalo, and you know, 1281 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 1: we've talked about this impending quarterback carousel that people are 1282 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: anticipating will be busier than we've ever seen. I mean, 1283 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: there was a lot of quarterback movement last year. Do 1284 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,320 Speaker 1: you really I don't know if it's going to reach 1285 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: the proportions that some are predicting, but we could probably 1286 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: be looking at a good ten to twelve teams with 1287 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,320 Speaker 1: new starting quarterbacks in twenty twenty one, right, right, absolutely, 1288 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 1: I didn't have the Lams on that list. And we 1289 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 1: are removed, yeah, from a two from Matthew Stafford for 1290 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 1: two first round picks and shared copp what's Deshaan Watson 1291 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 1: going to get if Matthew Stafford gets that thirty first picks? 1292 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 1: You know, to all boths, I don't know, but you're 1293 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: absolutely right. We have rumors going around the Kirk Cousins 1294 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 1: will move and could go to the San Francisco forty 1295 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: nine ers. So forget the fact that Drew Brees has 1296 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: likely retired, Philip Rivers has already retired. Ben Roethlisberger is 1297 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,559 Speaker 1: probably right now enjoying, you know, some chicken wings and 1298 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 1: deciding whether he's going to retire. And you're strow in 1299 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: all the teams like the Jets who are going to 1300 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,080 Speaker 1: move on obviously the Jaguars, teams like Washington in Chicago 1301 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 1: and New England in the in the in the mix 1302 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: for getting new quarterbacks, there's going to be a lot 1303 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: of movement. There's going to be movement of the guys 1304 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 1: like Arnold of the guys like you know, Trubisky, who 1305 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: are like, well, maybe somebody can like refurbish them, Cam 1306 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 1: Newton like that. But you're probably going to see some 1307 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 1: other big names as well, guys like Garoppolos certainly and 1308 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: obviously at the end of the day, Deshaun Watson at 1309 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 1: some point moving on to new teams. And I don't 1310 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: think we've ever seen an off season where there was 1311 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: this much movement at quarterback. Yeah, and there's so many 1312 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 1: teams with question marks. New England, as you said, New Orleans, Indianapolis, 1313 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,240 Speaker 1: Chicago wants to do something. New England's gotta find somebody. 1314 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 1: And of course San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York Jets. 1315 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: You could throw them in. All of those guys have quarterbacks, 1316 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 1: but they all seem to be Are they happy with them? Yeah? 1317 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, Philly should see you know, if 1318 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 1: Philly should send WinCE to Indianapolis and the Jets should 1319 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 1: send Darnolds to San Francisco, and San Francisco should send 1320 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, Garoppolo to New England or someplace, you know, 1321 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 1: and you know all this stuff, you can see it, 1322 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 1: all these teams happening, and it is for decades. I mean, 1323 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:39,040 Speaker 1: most of my life, there was never a good quarterback available, 1324 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,639 Speaker 1: and now you get like six of them a year. Right, 1325 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Why that's it. That's sit between the living legends, trying 1326 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 1: to get a couple more seasons in, which is what 1327 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 1: we have last year. And now it's like the rise 1328 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 1: of the veteran who hasn't won yet, Like oh, the Staffords, 1329 01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 1: a veteran doesn't won yet. Let's give him a chance 1330 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,679 Speaker 1: on a different team with maybe a better system. Cousins. 1331 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 1: We've seen Cousins a couple of different organizations. Let's try 1332 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,320 Speaker 1: and see what he does with the forty nine ers defense. 1333 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 1: Maybe that's something you see that and you know you 1334 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: mentioned some of the teams. Okay, the Eagles aren't going 1335 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 1: to do that though. The Eagles have like just gotten 1336 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 1: a new coach and they're completely committed to try and 1337 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: make Carson Wentz work one way or the other. So 1338 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 1: each team is gonna have its philosophy along the way. 1339 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: But one thing, if you try to play the musical 1340 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,080 Speaker 1: chairs with it, even with all these quarterbacks, there's not 1341 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,280 Speaker 1: enough really really good quarterbacks and the needs and the 1342 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 1: jobs that are out there, and that means some of 1343 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 1: these rookies coming in are gonna get some opportunities. And 1344 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to be curious as to what team tries 1345 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,719 Speaker 1: to trade up and get adjustin fields, what team decides 1346 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 1: that they're going to try and make a move to 1347 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 1: get up and now no get a Kyle Trascott. I'm 1348 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sold on all these rookies, but 1349 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,639 Speaker 1: at some point you're gonna say, well, am I gonna pay? 1350 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 1: Am I gonna bring Garoppolo back and see if he 1351 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,320 Speaker 1: gets salty and the etc. Am I gonna go with 1352 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 1: the rookie? And I think different teams are gonna have 1353 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 1: different answers to that question. Yeah, and you know, with 1354 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,320 Speaker 1: the restrictive cap, we don't know what the number is 1355 01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: going to be, although the owners maybe pushing to move 1356 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 1: it up because they don't want to come at half 1357 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 1: their roster if they're in a precarious situation. I think 1358 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 1: we know that whatever it is, it's it's not going 1359 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 1: to be somewhere between the two ten to two fifteen 1360 01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: that was initially projected before the pandemic hit. So with 1361 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,480 Speaker 1: that in mind, knowing there's going to be a glut 1362 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 1: of talent out on the market, but teams that might 1363 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,760 Speaker 1: want them may not be able to meet whatever the 1364 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 1: demands are are Are we to expect a depressed average 1365 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 1: annual value market even from the high price positions like 1366 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: cornerback pass rusher. I mean, I'm intrigued by, you know, 1367 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 1: the number nine thing on your list for biggest stories 1368 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: to watch in the NFL offseason, the Russia veteran pass rushers, 1369 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 1: because the Bills probably need one to take that next 1370 01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,600 Speaker 1: step defensively. But I'm wondering, are they going to be 1371 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: able to pay a premium or is this restrictive cap 1372 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: situation going to put them in a spot where they're 1373 01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,679 Speaker 1: gonna have to hope that what they have to offer 1374 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: here in terms of being a playoff team going to 1375 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 1: have to win the day to get somebody in a 1376 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: bidding war. See that's what's interesting about the pas rushers. Okay, Okay, 1377 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 1: the CAP's gonna go down. Quarterbacks are gonna get paid 1378 01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 1: because their quarterbacks. Uh, there's a bunch of receivers out there, 1379 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: and they're young, like twenty five year old receivers. They're 1380 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: gonna get paid because you can you know what you're 1381 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: gonna get with them, and you can run that out 1382 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 1: over three or four years so you're Allen Robinson's and 1383 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,559 Speaker 1: Chris Godwins, they're gonna get paid. Uh. And then you look, well, 1384 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:21,640 Speaker 1: where are team's gonna try and save money. Well, you 1385 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 1: look at the edge rushers on the market. It's a 1386 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 1: bunch of dudes, you know, thirty one thirty two year 1387 01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: old edge rushers, guys who can still play. Ryan Kerrigan 1388 01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,599 Speaker 1: and Ingram and some of these other dudes and guys 1389 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,320 Speaker 1: that you know, you can just put out there and say, 1390 01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 1: go get quarterback and you don't have to worry about 1391 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,839 Speaker 1: their scheme fit that much. You know, go get quarterbacks. 1392 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna go get quarterback h you know, for like, 1393 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, thirty five snaps a game or whatever. Those 1394 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 1: are the guys that free agency is gonna happen. And 1395 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 1: maybe the first big name or so goes. But teams 1396 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 1: that wait a little bit, they're gonna see the market 1397 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 1: shrivel up, because like, everybody's gonna spend the money on 1398 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,639 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson or their quarterback, and they they're not gonna 1399 01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 1: have money for Justin Houston at the end of that 1400 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,719 Speaker 1: or somebody else who is a pretty solid edge lusher. 1401 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,120 Speaker 1: And that's where our team that bargain Hunts might come 1402 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:06,800 Speaker 1: in and say, oh we can we can upgrade up 1403 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: pass rush, get a few more stacks right away with 1404 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,599 Speaker 1: one year, a couple million dollars incentives if you get 1405 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 1: the ten sacks, one of those kind of contracts. Now 1406 01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 1: to do that, not only do you have to have 1407 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 1: it be a team it's patient and kind of bargain hunt, 1408 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,920 Speaker 1: but that veteran free agent has to want to come 1409 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 1: and play for you. And that's where the Bills can 1410 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,760 Speaker 1: come in with this, where you can say you want 1411 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: to come to a team that was in the ASC 1412 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: championship game, where Sean McDermott absolutely well respected head coach, 1413 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And you can get a guy 1414 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 1: who might have three offers to say, yeah, that's the 1415 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,880 Speaker 1: offer I'm going to take. Yeah, that's the one. That's 1416 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: the one I'm hoping for, at least as far as 1417 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,679 Speaker 1: the Bills are concerned. Mike Listen, thanks for the time. 1418 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,360 Speaker 1: Enjoy the Super Bowl this weekend. We appreciate reading a 1419 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,880 Speaker 1: lot of your write ups. They're they're certainly informational, and 1420 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,639 Speaker 1: they give us a lot of nice topics to discuss 1421 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 1: on the show. So we appreciate the time Mike. Thanks Mike, 1422 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 1: it was a pleasure enjoy the Super Bowl. Gentlemen. All right, 1423 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: that's Mike Tan You're from the Pro Football Network. Also 1424 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 1: does some work for the New York Times. You want 1425 01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,720 Speaker 1: to want to read his work. He's recently written a 1426 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 1: good number of things about the Bills, Josh Allen, the 1427 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: running game and what needs to be upgraded there. And 1428 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,719 Speaker 1: there's a part of me, Steve, that wants to believe 1429 01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 1: that the Bills can sit in the weeds, like Mike 1430 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:16,200 Speaker 1: was talking about, and wait for the market to shrivel 1431 01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: up and then make a move to get maybe a 1432 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 1: pass rusher on the cheap this year when the money 1433 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,880 Speaker 1: isn't there around the league because of this potentially restrictive cap. 1434 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 1: The only issue there, the only fly in the ointment 1435 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 1: as I see it, Steve, is they're already pretty heavily 1436 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,800 Speaker 1: invested in their defensive line with the players they have 1437 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 1: under contract, and so I wonder if it's a addition 1438 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: by subtraction and then jump into free agent market, try 1439 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: to get a bargain player instead of some of these 1440 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 1: higher price guys that are currently on the roster. I 1441 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a real flooded market with a 1442 01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 1: lot of fantastic players. I think the big problem and 1443 01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 1: I think maybe the Bills it'll be easier for them 1444 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,719 Speaker 1: because they're going to be strapped with the cap. Because 1445 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have teams like the Jets, you know, Indianapolis. 1446 01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of teams with money to spend. 1447 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna be lighting money on fire right away. They're 1448 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:11,800 Speaker 1: gonna name Patrick's staying. When the market opens, they're gonna 1449 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 1: be flushing it yea. And they're gonna get guys like 1450 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,479 Speaker 1: Levon Bell for fifteen million, that kind of stuff. The 1451 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 1: Jets will be doing that kind of thing, and you 1452 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 1: can count on certain organizations to do that. But I 1453 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: think if you can and this and Sean McDermott, Brandon 1454 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: being have been really good about this, they will probably 1455 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: stay disciplined, say this is the value, this is where 1456 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna go. And there will be better players available 1457 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,479 Speaker 1: this year than in other year's past at every position. 1458 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Because they are half the teams in the league have 1459 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: no money to spend, then their jettison players. They have 1460 01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: to get rid of the ones that do might be 1461 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 1: spending money on quarterback a wide receiver instead of pass Rusher. 1462 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 1: All you're gonna need for this offseason? I think, I 1463 01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 1: say this, this, this is the world we live in. 1464 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: All twenty million bucks? You know what I'm saying? All 1465 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:08,680 Speaker 1: you need twenty million bucks because because the market is 1466 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,640 Speaker 1: going to be so full, there's not gonna be a 1467 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 1: place for these team Supply is gonna outweigh demand because 1468 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,679 Speaker 1: there's you think cap situation. They don't have the money 1469 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 1: to spend. They don't have them, they can't They have 1470 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,679 Speaker 1: the money, but they can't spend them. Only a short 1471 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 1: list of teams are gonna have any money to spend 1472 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 1: at all, and they're gonna they're gonna blow it up. 1473 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: And hopefully some of them will get undisciplined and blow 1474 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 1: up the market and use up all their cash, and 1475 01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna leave a ton of players out there for 1476 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 1: the taking for teams that have some money to spend, 1477 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 1: and and they'll get them on the cheap. You gotta 1478 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: you can get them on the cheap. You can get 1479 01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: them on the cheap. Certainly, what the Bills have built here, 1480 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,439 Speaker 1: what McDermott and being a built here gonna is gonna 1481 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 1: be attractive to a lot of guys. You're gonna want 1482 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 1: to come and play here for seven million dollars for 1483 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: a year or not play like Yeah, there could be 1484 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,519 Speaker 1: situations like that. That's exact the pass rushers, it's exactly right. 1485 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 1: And it's not just the pass rushers, it's offensive line. 1486 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 1: And some of these teams are gonna they're gonna have 1487 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,320 Speaker 1: to cut literally a majority of their roster to get 1488 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: under the cat. Yeah, twenty million over, which is more 1489 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,200 Speaker 1: than the active payroll right now for the entire Indianapolis 1490 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 1: Colts roster, which is one hundred and nineteen million. Think 1491 01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 1: about it, Colts, they got a ton of cash to spend. Yeah, um, 1492 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,400 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting, but they got to go out and 1493 01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 1: find somebody to take snaps as well.

He said, I only plan on 1517 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 1: watching this game to watch Tom Brady lose. Yes, it 1518 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 1: still hurts that the Bills lost to KC. But I 1519 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 1: still feel the hurt from all the losses we took 1520 01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,639 Speaker 1: to Brady two. So I'd rather Mahomes winned again instead 1521 01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: of seeing Brady hoist Lombardi Trophy for the seventh time. 1522 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,320 Speaker 1: I think he's got good company this weekend. He's not alone, 1523 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,599 Speaker 1: He's got company in my household, I know there's yeah, 1524 01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:04,479 Speaker 1: there's yeah. I would have to say that as well. 1525 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,479 Speaker 1: In my house, the predominant sentiment is going to be, 1526 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully Brady gets tossed into a tree grinder, right, 1527 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they just that's just the way 1528 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,680 Speaker 1: it is. That's the way they were I don't want 1529 01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: to say it's the way they brought say that's the 1530 01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 1: way they want to they were brought up. I'm just 1531 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,120 Speaker 1: saying that's just kind of the sentiments. Yeah, yeah, Wow. 1532 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 1: The emotions run deep in the Tasker household, and there's 1533 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 1: always the altruistic Tony. On the tweet sheet, he says 1534 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 1: the reason I'm going to be tuning into Super Bowl 1535 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 1: Sunday gambling. Yeah, And we'll get into this a little 1536 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 1: bit later in the show. There's some hilarious prop bets 1537 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 1: and stuff like everything coin flip, but they have the 1538 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,719 Speaker 1: first points. They even have these cross sports prop bets 1539 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,519 Speaker 1: like like how many points are the Bucks gonna score 1540 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 1: versus um like some NBA player, how many points he 1541 01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,400 Speaker 1: is going to score in the game on Sunday, right, 1542 01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, and it's like who's gonna have more war 1543 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 1: and stuff. It's like we're like going like Russell NBA, 1544 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 1: like Russell Westbrooks point totally as opposed to that's like, 1545 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 1: that's too rich for I can't keep tracking. That's that's 1546 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: too much for me. You you're God. Let me sit 1547 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: with my chili, which I will be making this weekend. 1548 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,840 Speaker 1: I always make my chili every super Bowl. Great call 1549 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 1: to be sitting there with my bowl of chili and 1550 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:25,800 Speaker 1: just take it in the those you can. Rarely does 1551 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:30,360 Speaker 1: chili get tossed? Oh no, cast rouse cast role. Maybe 1552 01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 1: once a while something. First of all, the chili doesn't 1553 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 1: last very long between me and my son, like we 1554 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: But even if it does. But even if it does, man, 1555 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 1: you heat that it's better, Oh you throw. There are 1556 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:44,640 Speaker 1: very few things that are better left over. Chili is 1557 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, unquestionably. I would make the argument that, well, 1558 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 1: it depends on what you've ordered, but Chinese food warmed 1559 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,719 Speaker 1: up in the microwave is very often very good left 1560 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,960 Speaker 1: on a big vegetable in the microwave. God, no, but 1561 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 1: if you get like General orcle Oman. General Sal's chicken 1562 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 1: left over in the microwave. It is dynamite. That is 1563 01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 1: a great bring it into work lunch to heat up 1564 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: the next day lunch. Right about now.

This is like the g rated 1568 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 1: what are you? What are you? Six? Alan is uh? 1569 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 1: Alan is yeah, this is the sesame Street. That is yes, 1570 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: he's I'm sorry, Alan, that's just Alan. You're that's too 1571 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 1: That's too neat and buttoned up for me. You need 1572 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,639 Speaker 1: a little darkness in your heart. That's all I can say. 1573 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: Alan has got too much pureness of heart. He is 1574 01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:45,880 Speaker 1: as he gets set to and pixie sticks in Allen's world. 1575 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,960 Speaker 1: It's true though, listen, I'm all about it. It's gonna 1576 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 1: bitterness Alan. They're too good football teams. Yeah, And I 1577 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:59,800 Speaker 1: just watched the Bills walk into Arrowhead, and the Bills 1578 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: are are a really really good football team, really good, 1579 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs outmatched him. The Chief's firepower right now 1580 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: is the ultimate weapon in the universe, and the Bucks 1581 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: are going to have to come up with something to 1582 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,640 Speaker 1: put put the wraps on him. And I'll tell you 1583 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: this too, that everybody goes back to that November game 1584 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: when the Chiefs went down to Tampa Bay and Tyreek 1585 01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,880 Speaker 1: had two hundred yards in one quarter. Let me tell 1586 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,680 Speaker 1: you how the dynamics of that worked. The Bucks came 1587 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,680 Speaker 1: back and almost beat him. But it was twenty four 1588 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven something like that. Right, I'll tell you this. 1589 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 1: Once Tyreek had two hundred yards in the first quarter, 1590 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs stood up, took a deep breath. They were 1591 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,120 Speaker 1: done for the day. They coasted home. They absolutely coasted home. 1592 01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,080 Speaker 1: They ain't gonna coast in the Super Bowl. They are 1593 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,400 Speaker 1: going to put their foot on the gas and shift gears, 1594 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,639 Speaker 1: and the Bucks better have an answer for him. They 1595 01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: may and Tom Brady and you know Tom bradying his 1596 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 1: red zone offense and all that stuff. They may, they 1597 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 1: may be able to score a lot, but I'm telling 1598 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,679 Speaker 1: you what the Chiefs are gonna The Chiefs are not 1599 01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,479 Speaker 1: gonna sit up and take a deep breath. They're gonna 1600 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: put their foot on the pedal and they're gonna keep going. 1601 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:18,799 Speaker 1: I want to see if the Buccaneers actually collision Kelsey 1602 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: and Hill at the line of scrimmage, especially Kelsey. I mean, 1603 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 1: you got linebackers that can run with them in Devin 1604 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 1: White and Lavante David collision him at the line, ruin 1605 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the timing of the play, and let's see if they 1606 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,800 Speaker 1: can still make plays on offense. Yeah, I want them 1607 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 1: to do that because that's what I wanted the Bills 1608 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:40,120 Speaker 1: to do defensively. Unfortunately, and it didn't happen. From Tiffany 1609 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,680 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, I have to admit it's to 1610 01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 1: see if Brady can win his seventh championship. Love him 1611 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 1: or hate him, you have to admire his accomplishments and 1612 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 1: career longevity. He's the gold standard of what a winning 1613 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 1: quarterback is. This season proves Brady was the engine that 1614 01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 1: drove the Patriots success. So Tiffany is on the Danny 1615 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,720 Speaker 1: am and Dola train. Case you didn't see that interview yesterday, 1616 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 1: he was asked about the Patriot Way and he said, 1617 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 1: the Patriot Way is Tom Brady. He goes, it's not 1618 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,760 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. That's kind of like pulling the pin and 1619 01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:16,280 Speaker 1: throwing the grenade in, isn't it Yeah, and running Danny 1620 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,920 Speaker 1: Amondola bringing the fire wowsers. Um that's pretty best. I 1621 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 1: did not hear that he said they in proof of 1622 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 1: that is because of where he's playing this weekend. Okay, 1623 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm sure they both have their merits, 1624 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,920 Speaker 1: and they both were heavy contributors to the success of 1625 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: that franchise for the twenty year run that they went on. Um, 1626 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,760 Speaker 1: but you know, truthfully, what's a what's a former who's 1627 01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,080 Speaker 1: a former teammate gonna side with the guy he's playing 1628 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 1: with right now? Yeah? I mean and Amondola, you know, 1629 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:49,599 Speaker 1: I don't. I can't remember. It's like he only played 1630 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: with him three or four years. He was with him 1631 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 1: for a while. He was with him for a while, 1632 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 1: But you know, he want to I'm fully expecting a 1633 01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 1: player to side with a fellow player, absolutely in that argument. 1634 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:06,280 Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that Belichick, I don't know. 1635 01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Maybe with his closest friends, he's a bundle of joy, 1636 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 1: But in the football environment, I think he respects his players. 1637 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 1: But hang going out and having a beer with him. Now, 1638 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 1: I'll say this, he he is. He doesn't get enough 1639 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 1: credit for being a real person, that's for sure. Yeah, 1640 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 1: I've well, he's often robotic, right, I've gotten I've gotten 1641 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,160 Speaker 1: a glimpse and had conversation. He's a real dude, and 1642 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 1: he's got a sense of humor that what the he 1643 01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 1: gives to the media to dispense to the masses outside 1644 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,719 Speaker 1: of New England is something far different than the reality 1645 01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,719 Speaker 1: of what he is. And I think that's by design. 1646 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 1: And certainly I have never seen a coach with more 1647 01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:54,799 Speaker 1: self discipline with the media than that guy, because usually 1648 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 1: you get you get so fed up, you just get 1649 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 1: tired of not giving him anything, you know. Yeah, and 1650 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 1: he has never done that. He is. That guy's the 1651 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 1: most unbelievable handler of the meeting or maybe even you 1652 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,639 Speaker 1: say manipulator the menia, than than any coach of everybody 1653 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,479 Speaker 1: saying nothing by saying mostually nothing, because usually you need 1654 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:20,040 Speaker 1: words and substance to manipulate people, and he does it 1655 01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 1: by doing none of the above. Yeah, which is an 1656 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,240 Speaker 1: art form in itself. Yeah, he's a but you know, 1657 01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,960 Speaker 1: and off the you know, when he's in a team meeting, 1658 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,640 Speaker 1: when he's in meeting production meetings. But he's he you know, 1659 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,080 Speaker 1: he couldn't be more normal. Yeah, So this is you know, 1660 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 1: the public perception of him is vastly different by design, 1661 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,599 Speaker 1: and it is his design Um. You know, I mean, 1662 01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,160 Speaker 1: guy's been to ten Super Bowls and he's and two 1663 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 1: two others as an assistant. So yeah, yeah, and he's 1664 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: got what eight rings? He's got two with the Giants, 1665 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 1: six with the pay six. He's got eight rings. So 1666 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 1: there's that plus a couple of championship conference championship rings 1667 01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 1: a couple. Yeah, you've got an awful lot of those. Two. 1668 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 1: All right, break time for us when we come back, 1669 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,680 Speaker 1: more of your comments on the tweet cheetah, as we 1670 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,200 Speaker 1: are asking you what's the top reason you'll be tuning 1671 01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: in to Sunday Super Bowl?

Are you 1674 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:24,600 Speaker 1: rooting for the guy now that he's no longer on 1675 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots? Are you already tired of seeing the Chiefs 1676 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl? Let us know what is compelling 1677 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: you to stay tuned and engaged in the big Game 1678 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Back in a moment with more here on 1679 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by collid to Health. It's Buffalo 1680 01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, 1681 01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you moosing up our number two of 1682 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:57,960 Speaker 1: the program. Our number three will be wide open for 1683 01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 1: your phone calls at eight three five fifty fifty two 1684 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 1: five fifty as we're asking you what's the top reason 1685 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 1: you'll be tuning in to Sunday's Super Bowl and from 1686 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 1: Bills and Mets fan, he says, I really doubt i'll watch. 1687 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,760 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, I was sure i'd watch the entire game. 1688 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,640 Speaker 1: I was planning to travel to Buffalo to watch the 1689 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 1: game downtown. Now I have no interest and probably won't 1690 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 1: watch more than ten minutes. Dinah says, I'm tuning in 1691 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:28,280 Speaker 1: to see the commercials now. I read something interesting about 1692 01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: the commercial Steve. Some of the heavy swingers in Super 1693 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,800 Speaker 1: Bowl commercials, you know, like the major beer companies, the 1694 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 1: major athletic weare companies. They're not doing ads this year 1695 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 1: because they're concerned with the sensitive nature the political climate, 1696 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,759 Speaker 1: the race relations, you know, civil rights climate in this country. 1697 01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 1: I think they're worried about doing a humorous ad that 1698 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 1: may come off as insensitive. I think they're worried about 1699 01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 1: some you know the use of sarcasm or humor, or, 1700 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, these kinds of things. I think they're worried 1701 01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 1: about their commercials coming off as off putting, if you will, 1702 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,400 Speaker 1: and some of them are pulling back and not investing 1703 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 1: the money. There were some in recent years that I 1704 01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 1: remember coming off of that, getting that kind of review 1705 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 1: and getting a negative public backlash for being insensitive in 1706 01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,920 Speaker 1: some way. And some of these so some of these 1707 01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:28,720 Speaker 1: big heavy hitters that are in the Super Bowl commercial 1708 01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 1: rundown every single year, are saying, yeah, I think we're 1709 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 1: gonna just sidestep it this year. And the pandemic too, 1710 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,000 Speaker 1: Like you think about the way that can be seen, 1711 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, like how are you going to shoot a commercial? 1712 01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 1: Is it's gonna have masks? Gonna have not have masks 1713 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,679 Speaker 1: because they're gonna you know what I mean. As even 1714 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 1: if you have it's a heavy lead to strike the 1715 01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 1: right notes that you want to hit. The thirty second 1716 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 1: spot is going to cost you somewhere in the neighborhood 1717 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 1: of six million dollars just for the rights to air it. 1718 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 1: Then a company like Budweiser or you know or whatever, 1719 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,679 Speaker 1: one of these big companies bat you know, the bad Nike, 1720 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 1: all all these commercially these huge conglomerates who can afford 1721 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: that kind of budget they also then pour in at 1722 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:21,760 Speaker 1: least that much to make the thing um and to 1723 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:26,160 Speaker 1: produce it. Now, plus it's not just a thirty second 1724 01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 1: ad on the super Bowl. It's a super Bowl ad. 1725 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,160 Speaker 1: Therefore goes on to the list of Super Bowl ads, 1726 01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 1: and people go to YouTube and watch it. They get 1727 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,840 Speaker 1: all kinds of views after the game, they get all 1728 01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:39,040 Speaker 1: kinds of ancilliary benefit from it. But that's an enormous 1729 01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,720 Speaker 1: chunk of cash that if it doesn't come off right, 1730 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,760 Speaker 1: get you all the wrong attention. And I can see it. 1731 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a it's a big call. It's 1732 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:54,719 Speaker 1: a it's a big decision for a lot of companies, 1733 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: even saying, man, this is just too heavy a lift 1734 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 1: money that we have to invest. This is too heavy 1735 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: a lift. And if it gets production trade negatively by 1736 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: you know, reviewers, writers, you know all of that stuff, 1737 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,640 Speaker 1: is it worth it? Think about all these people they 1738 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 1: decided it's not the escalated production costs of it. I mean, 1739 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 1: I've heard some people, some of them say it costs 1740 01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 1: them almost twice as much to produce one of those 1741 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:20,080 Speaker 1: inner normal season Like you're you're talking, you know, ten 1742 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: million bucks to produce and get that thing out and 1743 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 1: and margins are probably a little narrower after this calendar year, 1744 01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, with the pandemic and everything than usual. So 1745 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a heavy lift more ways than 1746 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 1: one from a p W chef. On the tweet sheet, 1747 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 1: they say, I'm only watching because it's a tradition for 1748 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,920 Speaker 1: us to watch the game. But I'm struggling with Brady 1749 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,879 Speaker 1: winning another championship. I'm beyond ready for him to retire 1750 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:50,799 Speaker 1: and ride off into the sunset. Yeah, you're not alone 1751 01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:58,040 Speaker 1: in that thinking. Uh, Paul says. The reason I'm watching 1752 01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:03,680 Speaker 1: is the same as for most people. Football pools. The 1753 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:08,880 Speaker 1: old squares fire up to squares everybody. Yep, I've never 1754 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,320 Speaker 1: won one of those. Back in the time when I 1755 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,000 Speaker 1: played them, never won them. Yeah. I used to always 1756 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,680 Speaker 1: get stuck with like the worst numbers. I'd get like 1757 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 1: two and four or you know what I mean, like 1758 01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:27,479 Speaker 1: just the worst possible numbers on both sides. Yeah, you know, 1759 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 1: nine and two, Like, come on too, it's just well 1760 01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 1: hoping for a safety here and yeah right now. The 1761 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,280 Speaker 1: two point conversion when it came back in, you know, 1762 01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 1: kind of at least made you feel like you had 1763 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 1: a fighting chance. Oh maybe if they go for a 1764 01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:48,519 Speaker 1: doo here, you know who's doing that. Also, Yeah, I 1765 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:52,120 Speaker 1: think we'd skipped the one from Tiffany, who is a regular. 1766 01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,519 Speaker 1: I think we got Tiffany's Tiffy. I think we did 1767 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:58,760 Speaker 1: about scene. Yeah she has she has a lot of 1768 01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 1: respect for his accomplishment. Said all that. That's fine and good, 1769 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 1: but I'm yeah, I'm tired of it. Yeah, I've grown 1770 01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 1: tired of it. And you know what, Steve, there was 1771 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 1: some of that sentiment when you guys kept going back 1772 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,559 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. People people grew tired. Reason. People 1773 01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:14,679 Speaker 1: grew tired of seeing you guys because I still remember 1774 01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 1: that banner in the stands when you guys beat the 1775 01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:21,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the banners and we're back deal with in America. 1776 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:24,040 Speaker 1: Because they had grown tired of seeing you guys in 1777 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl every year. So I get that, but 1778 01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 1: we're living on We're living it on the other end 1779 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:33,280 Speaker 1: of the spectrum now at UM, Mike Jones says, I 1780 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:37,479 Speaker 1: won't be watching. I have no desire to watch either 1781 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:41,760 Speaker 1: team win. He's in the minority. This is one here, 1782 01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:44,240 Speaker 1: how about this one? This will this will tickle your fancy. 1783 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 1: I love football, and I think It's going to be 1784 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 1: an air filled fun fest. And I hope Brady throws 1785 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,280 Speaker 1: a pick six to lose the game. That would make 1786 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:57,599 Speaker 1: most Bills fans smile, would make me smile. I can't 1787 01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:59,400 Speaker 1: tell you how much I enjoyed watching him throw the 1788 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 1: pick six against the Titans in the wildcard game last year. 1789 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,719 Speaker 1: That was delicious. Yeah, and it was the last passing 1790 01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,320 Speaker 1: through as a New England Patriot. It's a tasty one. Oh. 1791 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,760 Speaker 1: It was so tasty that yeah, But it ends up 1792 01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 1: coming out on the right side of it this year, 1793 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,840 Speaker 1: my goodness. And I think there are some shortcomings that 1794 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:20,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have, you know, they have some They've had 1795 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 1: some special teams snaffoos in the postseason here, They've had 1796 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 1: trouble in short yardage, and they've had some issues even 1797 01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 1: in their kicking game. You know, there were some missed 1798 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:38,000 Speaker 1: extra points and stuff. So yeah, um, against a team 1799 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:41,599 Speaker 1: that's as balanced as the Bucks are, is it enough 1800 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:43,599 Speaker 1: to come back to bite them? You know? Too often 1801 01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 1: their offense overcomes all of those other shortcomings that they 1802 01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 1: might be struggling with because they're so prolific on that 1803 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,920 Speaker 1: side of the ball. But maybe against a more balanced 1804 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,120 Speaker 1: team like the Bucks that changes. I don't know. We 1805 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,040 Speaker 1: also had early in the show or I think our 1806 01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,280 Speaker 1: first calls from a guy from DJ and Connecticut. He 1807 01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:00,560 Speaker 1: actually tweeted in an also response, he I'm tuning in 1808 01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,680 Speaker 1: to watch Kansas City lose. Sorry. Yeah, I don't like them, 1809 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,400 Speaker 1: just like Miami back in the late eighties and nineties. 1810 01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 1: I just want them to lose. Brady, etc. Doesn't bother me, 1811 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,880 Speaker 1: chiefs do. Yeah, there you go, and we'll get to 1812 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 1: more of these comments on what is keeping you glued 1813 01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl on Sunday?

Sports sports update from One Bill's Drive. 1822 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,759 Speaker 1: The NHL announced that tonight's Buffalo Sabers New York Hilanders 1823 01:35:56,840 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: games being postponed due to the league's COVID nineteen protocols. 1824 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 1: Due to weather conditions yesterday, the Savers altered their travel 1825 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,320 Speaker 1: schedule to fly to New York to day, but that 1826 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:09,000 Speaker 1: required COVID contact tracing and testing protocol to be completed 1827 01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: appropriately with the extra day prior to travel, so the 1828 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 1: decision has been made to reschedule the game for a 1829 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,760 Speaker 1: future date. A barber who recently cut the hair of 1830 01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,599 Speaker 1: two Chiefs players received a positive test result for COVID 1831 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,080 Speaker 1: nineteen on Sunday, leading to receiver to Marcus Robinson and 1832 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:28,400 Speaker 1: center Daniel Kilgore landing on reserve COVID nineteen list. Neither 1833 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,599 Speaker 1: Robinson nor Kilgore has tested positive, and all parties were 1834 01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,680 Speaker 1: massed up during the encounters. If the two continue to 1835 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,839 Speaker 1: test negative, both players will still be eligible to return 1836 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs active roster in time to face the 1837 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:43,680 Speaker 1: Buccaneers in the Super Bowl.

A season 1840 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 1: disrupted by the COVID nineteen pandemic, will house the smallest 1841 01:36:55,280 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 1: attendance in Super Bowl history. After the Major League Baseball 1842 01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,840 Speaker 1: Players Association rejected a proposal by MLB to delay the 1843 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:05,720 Speaker 1: start of the season. The league said it would start 1844 01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 1: spring training and the regular season as scheduled. MLB on 1845 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,840 Speaker 1: Friday proposed a one hundred fifty four game schedule that 1846 01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 1: would pause player arrivals to camp until March twenty second 1847 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,519 Speaker 1: and postpone the first games until April twenty eighth, but 1848 01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,080 Speaker 1: the Union rejected its citing language and the proposal would 1849 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:24,160 Speaker 1: believe would grant Commissioner Rob Manfred more expansive powers to 1850 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:28,639 Speaker 1: cancel games in the event of a potential COVID nineteen outbreak. 1851 01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,519 Speaker 1: That is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, 1852 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you our number three of the program 1853 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,679 Speaker 1: beginning now as we are broadcasting live from the Seneca 1854 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,960 Speaker 1: Studios in Orchard Park at One Bill's Drive. And Steve, 1855 01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,719 Speaker 1: we want to get to more of the tweet sheet comments, 1856 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,559 Speaker 1: which is presented by Corregan Moving Systems, the official equipment 1857 01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Patrick says, all 1858 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:55,360 Speaker 1: the years I watched the Patriots win a Super Bowl, 1859 01:37:55,800 --> 01:38:00,280 Speaker 1: I hated both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Their eminence 1860 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,320 Speaker 1: was sickening. With that said, I realized this year it 1861 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,799 Speaker 1: was the Patriots and Bill Belichick that I despised Brady 1862 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,320 Speaker 1: is why I am watching. I am interested in seeing 1863 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:14,519 Speaker 1: if he can pull off another Super Bowl victory. I 1864 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: think I think the bitterness and hatred for Brady has 1865 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:22,720 Speaker 1: softened since he's gone down to Tampa Bay. Not in 1866 01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 1: everybody's mind, but in some people's minds it has, and 1867 01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:30,000 Speaker 1: and Patrick is one of them. He now sees his 1868 01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 1: Patriots in Belichick as the true enemy here. I get it. 1869 01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,720 Speaker 1: I get it. But you know, we talked about at 1870 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,439 Speaker 1: length today about the quarterbacks and all that, and there's 1871 01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,080 Speaker 1: a lot of other things in this game. Um. This 1872 01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:48,080 Speaker 1: game also includes two head coaches who combined ages the 1873 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:51,880 Speaker 1: oldest combination of coaching head coaches National Football League. This 1874 01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:55,000 Speaker 1: is also Bruce Ry Spring Chickens. Here is the oldest 1875 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:59,040 Speaker 1: first time head coach to reach a Super Bowl. He 1876 01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 1: is six. He is sixty eight years old and one 1877 01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:07,960 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven days now, and it to reach 1878 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 1: their first one. Marv was older, but that was in 1879 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,680 Speaker 1: That was in his third Super Bowl, in his third 1880 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:17,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Mark still the oldest guy to coach in 1881 01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:19,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, sixty eight years one hundred and eighty 1882 01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,439 Speaker 1: days varyings of sixty eight years, one hundred and twenty 1883 01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:25,680 Speaker 1: seven days. And then Marv's number three, sixty seventy one, 1884 01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:28,960 Speaker 1: so he's cornered the market. And then the fourth in line. 1885 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 1: Would you like to take a guess? Fourth in line? 1886 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,800 Speaker 1: Is it Belichick? Yes? It is sixty six years old, 1887 01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 1: sixty six and two hundred and ninety three days old. 1888 01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 1: I figured he's been to enough of him and he's 1889 01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:41,479 Speaker 1: in his upper sixties now, so I figured the oldest 1890 01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:43,439 Speaker 1: head coach to win a Super Bowl in NFL history, 1891 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,599 Speaker 1: that's the guy, Bill Belichick sixty six years, two hundred 1892 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: and ninety three days. Second place, Tom Coughlin sixty five years, 1893 01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:54,559 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty eight days. Third is Belichick sixty 1894 01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:58,080 Speaker 1: four two third? Is you want to take a guess 1895 01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 1: at third? Way back in the day. Let's see here, 1896 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 1: it's not Lombardio's way back in the day.

Three of the previous 1902 01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:25,599 Speaker 1: four the fourth one. Three of the previous four who 1903 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 1: reached it at sixty plus years old won it. The 1904 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:32,679 Speaker 1: one who didn't was obviously Marv. Yeah. And they say 1905 01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:37,400 Speaker 1: it's a young man's game coaching. Right. Oldest head coaches 1906 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,240 Speaker 1: at the time of the first Super Bowl as head 1907 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:44,240 Speaker 1: coach Bruce Arians sixty eight years, one hundred and twenty 1908 01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:48,280 Speaker 1: seven days, Marvel Leav's second sixty five one hundred and 1909 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:51,200 Speaker 1: seventy seven days.

Well, that should narrow it down. 1917 01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,559 Speaker 1: But I'm drawing a blank. Let me see, he should 1918 01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:21,920 Speaker 1: have he should have handed it off.

I know, and my 1946 01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:05,360 Speaker 1: ar kids are gonna say, I don't know you. Tom 1947 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:09,320 Speaker 1: Brady would have been like I hate Tom Brady, you know, 1948 01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:12,920 Speaker 1: because they'd ever saw him play. Yeah, same thing, you know. 1949 01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:14,679 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. And he's not an athletic 1950 01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 1: juggernaut either, you know, so he doesn't like jump off. 1951 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,600 Speaker 1: He's not Cam Newton or Jo doesn't jump off the 1952 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:22,760 Speaker 1: pay homes or any of these guys you know, and 1953 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,839 Speaker 1: you know who you know what else, here's my assets. 1954 01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:29,479 Speaker 1: I've said this before, but I'll remind you. My acid 1955 01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 1: test is how great a guy was and how good 1956 01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:35,120 Speaker 1: he was in his era, is how the guys who 1957 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 1: played against him talk about him, with him and against him. 1958 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: That's my acid test to this very day. One of 1959 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:50,280 Speaker 1: the guys who I've heard, the old guys, the old timers, 1960 01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:53,200 Speaker 1: when they talk about it, and this is how I say, 1961 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 1: you can see you'll you'll recognize when I say this. 1962 01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:57,960 Speaker 1: When people talk about somebody, they are they're in awe 1963 01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,400 Speaker 1: of They whisper like this, did you see what that 1964 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 1: guy just did? You want? Let me just tell you 1965 01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 1: about a really great player. Every old guy I've ever 1966 01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:09,439 Speaker 1: heard talk about Johnny Unitus whispers about him because they 1967 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,760 Speaker 1: are in awe of the guy. Well, he invented the 1968 01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 1: two minute drill. I mean essentially, they were like he 1969 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,400 Speaker 1: invented it. They were like, that guy's unbelievable when he 1970 01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:19,800 Speaker 1: went Johnny Unitus, he was. That guy was unbelievable. They 1971 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, just by all the guys who they just 1972 01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:24,120 Speaker 1: mumble about him. That man, that guy was like he 1973 01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,400 Speaker 1: was some sort of mythical being, right, right, that's what 1974 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like with Brady and all that stuff, 1975 01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, and probably mahomes too. But that's the acid 1976 01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,200 Speaker 1: test that so you go back years and you hear 1977 01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:38,200 Speaker 1: him like they whisper, They whisper about Dion, they whisper 1978 01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:43,479 Speaker 1: about Bo Jackson, they whisper about Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, 1979 01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,799 Speaker 1: all those guys. Those are the guys that when the defenders, 1980 01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:48,240 Speaker 1: the guys who used to try and tackle them, or 1981 01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,639 Speaker 1: they're like that guy was, that guy's a freaking nature. 1982 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 1: That guy was unbelievable. So there's a you know, there's 1983 01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:55,640 Speaker 1: a handful of guy, not not a lot of them 1984 01:44:55,680 --> 01:45:00,080 Speaker 1: played quarterback, you know what I mean? Right? And I 1985 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:02,280 Speaker 1: don't know that there's anybody whispering about Tom Brady about it, 1986 01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 1: but they're because they kind of spit it out of 1987 01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:07,599 Speaker 1: their mouths at this point in history. But you gotta 1988 01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 1: respect it. I mean, as much as you might hate him, 1989 01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,920 Speaker 1: you gotta respect it because it's unprecedented. What do you 1990 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 1: how long do you think how long do you think 1991 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:21,439 Speaker 1: the cheating stuff follows him? Um? Does it follow him? 1992 01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:24,680 Speaker 1: Or does it follow Belichick? I think that because he's 1993 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,320 Speaker 1: no longer with the Patriots, that helps his cause in 1994 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,360 Speaker 1: terms of putting that in the rear view mirror. Um, 1995 01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,000 Speaker 1: I have more a ball boy in Tampa, just like 1996 01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:36,280 Speaker 1: you can pay a ball boy here. You certainly can. 1997 01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:41,680 Speaker 1: I have more of an issue with Spygate than I 1998 01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:46,040 Speaker 1: do deflate Gate. I do. And what about going all 1999 01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,599 Speaker 1: the way back to the first Super Bowl when they 2000 01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:52,080 Speaker 1: were filming a walkthrough, Yeah, well that's that was spygate 2001 01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 1: Part two? Well that was part one or part one, 2002 01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:57,280 Speaker 1: and then spy Gate, and then I mean even this 2003 01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,800 Speaker 1: past year, the the guy who's supposed in their media 2004 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:03,400 Speaker 1: and content department, you know, filming from the press box, 2005 01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:09,400 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, that that's where I have and 2006 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,599 Speaker 1: you know, and it runs deeper than that. I mean, 2007 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,080 Speaker 1: you've heard NFL head coaches of other teams in postgame 2008 01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 1: press conferences talk about how their communication devices get their 2009 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:24,479 Speaker 1: signals jammed in Gillette Stadium, and Mike Tomlin, who's as 2010 01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:28,320 Speaker 1: upstanding a coach in the league as there is, said yeah, well, 2011 01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:30,640 Speaker 1: we couldn't get to play in because our communications were 2012 01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,760 Speaker 1: jammed on a frequency issue. Not the first time that's 2013 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:38,000 Speaker 1: happened here, you know, we got to work around it. 2014 01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:41,800 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So that's I think it sticks with 2015 01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:45,760 Speaker 1: the organization more than it sticks to Brady. Um, what 2016 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,640 Speaker 1: about what about Belichick? The biggest thing that bothers me 2017 01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:55,680 Speaker 1: about the flap gate, which which to me portrays a 2018 01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 1: sense of guilt onto Brady, is the fact that he 2019 01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 1: destroyed his self when the league asked for it, destroyed it, 2020 01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:07,200 Speaker 1: lost it. People. A guy from Watch got guilt written 2021 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:09,960 Speaker 1: all over. Oh he's guilty. Let me tell you something, 2022 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:13,360 Speaker 1: and I'll say this, it's a matter of perfect personal preference. 2023 01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:16,840 Speaker 1: It's like having the right shoes on because I know this. 2024 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:22,760 Speaker 1: Um John Elway, when this was going on, he had said, 2025 01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:26,560 Speaker 1: he goes, listen, I had our equipment guys fix me 2026 01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,320 Speaker 1: up thirteen game balls just like what they said those 2027 01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:32,479 Speaker 1: game balls were. They all got briefed on. So they 2028 01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:34,680 Speaker 1: had him and he, you know, John Elway knows what 2029 01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:38,160 Speaker 1: he's grabs it, squeeze it and it throws it, and 2030 01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 1: he's like, it's not a big deal. It's not a 2031 01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 1: big deal. But it's not a big deal. But let 2032 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:48,400 Speaker 1: me tell you this. In every not all, not most, 2033 01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:57,639 Speaker 1: not almost all, every single solitary team, an equipment guy, 2034 01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:02,880 Speaker 1: and football that's ever used for an offensive game plan 2035 01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:07,120 Speaker 1: in the game, none of them, none of them are 2036 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,080 Speaker 1: not approved by the guy who takes the snap. He 2037 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,240 Speaker 1: is the one and only guy who says how those 2038 01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:16,519 Speaker 1: footballs are going to be. So when Tom Brady says, 2039 01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I wouldn't. No, no, absolutely not. Those guys, 2040 01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:27,320 Speaker 1: every quarterback you'll ever meet and get to know, will 2041 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:35,960 Speaker 1: have almost almost a witchcraft magical process that they run 2042 01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 1: their footballs through to get him the right grip, the 2043 01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:43,960 Speaker 1: right inflation, the right mantra. I mean, they may you know, 2044 01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:46,760 Speaker 1: they may sprinkle magic powder over him if if the 2045 01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:50,479 Speaker 1: guy thinks he's gonna help. So if you're thinking, you're 2046 01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:57,040 Speaker 1: thinking that some ball boy in in Boston, or Rob Grinkowski, 2047 01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:02,320 Speaker 1: the guy who catches the ball, or anybody else, including 2048 01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:07,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, had any input into how those footballs were prepared, 2049 01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:13,680 Speaker 1: you're dumb because there's only one guy and it's and 2050 01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:18,800 Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady. Yeah. That but to me, that's to me, 2051 01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,520 Speaker 1: that's like worrying about the coat of paint on the Titanic. 2052 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,479 Speaker 1: That's it's not a bit. It's it's it's about guy 2053 01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:27,280 Speaker 1: feeling good about what he's doing. So I can get 2054 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:29,400 Speaker 1: him as get him as light as you can. I 2055 01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:31,320 Speaker 1: want him as deflated as you can get away with. 2056 01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,479 Speaker 1: About I've heard about kickers telling equipment guys to go 2057 01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,800 Speaker 1: over inflate him. Go well, yeah, or both, Or go 2058 01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:42,240 Speaker 1: put the k ball in the dryer. Oh yeah, yeah, 2059 01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:44,920 Speaker 1: go put the k balls in the dryer. There the iceberg. 2060 01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:46,360 Speaker 1: Put it in the vice and hit it with that 2061 01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:50,800 Speaker 1: special hammer, rub it with the with the clay, scrub 2062 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:53,639 Speaker 1: it with that certain brush. Stick it in the dryer 2063 01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:57,439 Speaker 1: for this long, not that long, this long, And you'd 2064 01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:00,479 Speaker 1: only do it and you gotta let him sit for 2065 01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:03,200 Speaker 1: seven minutes after that's done and then bring him out. 2066 01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,639 Speaker 1: I want to kick him right away. All at it's 2067 01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:11,280 Speaker 1: it's an absolute crazy process. And they're all different. Yeah 2068 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,800 Speaker 1: and there, and they will they'll be like, they'll be 2069 01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:17,799 Speaker 1: like their finger in them in the point poke poking 2070 01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:24,800 Speaker 1: the equipment guy in his face. They don't. They don't 2071 01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:27,800 Speaker 1: play around. So don't think Tom Brady doesn't have the 2072 01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:30,400 Speaker 1: same thing going on. And I'm sure and I'm not sure, 2073 01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,960 Speaker 1: but it's easy for me to say a guy doing that, 2074 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:34,679 Speaker 1: and I'm sure the guy. The guy had a Boston attit. 2075 01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:36,439 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, I'm gonna do whatever I want. But 2076 01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:39,559 Speaker 1: if Brady said, hey, I want him as I want 2077 01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:42,519 Speaker 1: him as deflated as we can get away with, I'm 2078 01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,160 Speaker 1: sure that you know, said something like that, I want 2079 01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:46,720 Speaker 1: him as deflated, I want him as flat as you 2080 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 1: can get away with. When they start throwing them out, 2081 01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,519 Speaker 1: then you that's the that's the threshold. I want them 2082 01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:55,840 Speaker 1: all right there you know here, you know they get 2083 01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:59,599 Speaker 1: busted for it. They do. Um, we have some other 2084 01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:03,200 Speaker 1: kind man's on the tweet sheet here from Joe says, 2085 01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:07,400 Speaker 1: my super Bowl watch, can the Chief's offensive tackles block 2086 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,640 Speaker 1: block Tampa's defensive ends because of injury. Mitchell Schwartz and 2087 01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:13,280 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher are not expected to play in this game 2088 01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,720 Speaker 1: due to injury. So he says, I want to see 2089 01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,439 Speaker 1: if the case if Kansas City can push the pocket 2090 01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:22,680 Speaker 1: into Brady's face causing sacks and turnovers on the other side. Right, 2091 01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 1: this game will determine, will be determined at the line 2092 01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:28,200 Speaker 1: of scrimmage more so than any other game for these 2093 01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:32,080 Speaker 1: two teams. Well, they've got some question marks. Yeah, they've 2094 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,760 Speaker 1: got I mean, Barrett and Jason, Pierre Paul. I mean, 2095 01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:36,960 Speaker 1: that's that's a combination that's nothing to sneeze at. And 2096 01:51:37,040 --> 01:51:39,760 Speaker 1: you're going in there with backups. The Bucks have got 2097 01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:43,120 Speaker 1: some guys. They've got some they're very talented roster. That's 2098 01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,439 Speaker 1: what lured Tom Brady down there. And then you got 2099 01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:48,920 Speaker 1: a couple of guys jumping on after Brady signs. I like, hey, 2100 01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 1: I want to go play with that guy, right, you know, 2101 01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:53,160 Speaker 1: I want to I want to get in that huddle. Yeah, 2102 01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:56,840 Speaker 1: and so yeah, they've they've got enough guys to go around, 2103 01:51:56,920 --> 01:52:00,800 Speaker 1: for sure. Doug says, I decided not to watch Tom 2104 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:04,840 Speaker 1: Brady completely ruins. My football enjoyment signed a lifelong Bills 2105 01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: fan in Massachusetts. That's a tough flay. That's a pilgrim 2106 01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:11,360 Speaker 1: in an unholy land Bills fan in Massachusetts. I hope 2107 01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:14,599 Speaker 1: he's got an opportunity to watch Bills games every week 2108 01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,880 Speaker 1: and get the Patriots every week. DJ says, tuning in 2109 01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,760 Speaker 1: to watch Kansas City lose. Sorry, don't like him, just 2110 01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:23,400 Speaker 1: like Miami back in the late eighties and nineties. Just 2111 01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:26,439 Speaker 1: want him to lose. Brady, etc. Doesn't bother me. The 2112 01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:31,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs do, Yeah, Nate says, I dig the game of football, 2113 01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:33,639 Speaker 1: and I really enjoy evaluating players and coaches. I want 2114 01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:35,200 Speaker 1: to know what it takes to get to the super Bowl. 2115 01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,360 Speaker 1: And if Buffalo has those types of players on the team. Now, 2116 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you one thing, Tyreek Hill and Jason Kelsey. 2117 01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:45,000 Speaker 1: Those are two players nobody else has, and the Chiefs 2118 01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:49,719 Speaker 1: have two of them. Yeah, on the same roster. That's something. 2119 01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,679 Speaker 1: Kelsey's the guy. I mean that that makes the difference 2120 01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,200 Speaker 1: because you get both those Think about it, you get 2121 01:52:55,240 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 1: a guy on both ends of the spectrum there right, 2122 01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:00,559 Speaker 1: the fast guy that nobody can catch that you can't 2123 01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, you have no answer for speed wise, and 2124 01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:04,559 Speaker 1: you got to you gotta keep a lid on him 2125 01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:06,280 Speaker 1: all the time. And then you got this guy Kelsey 2126 01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:12,080 Speaker 1: who is so big but such a route runner as 2127 01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 1: to make it almost impossible not to get separation. And 2128 01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,840 Speaker 1: of course Mahomes can put it in his stomach wherever 2129 01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:24,720 Speaker 1: he's standing. It's, um, it's it's an amazing combination they've got. 2130 01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:26,640 Speaker 1: And that's why everybody points to him and saying, you know, 2131 01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna be around for a while. These team is 2132 01:53:28,160 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 1: gonna be really good for a long time, and there's 2133 01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:33,280 Speaker 1: no reason to think they won't be. I mean, um, 2134 01:53:34,840 --> 01:53:38,360 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting too if if Mahomes does go out 2135 01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,120 Speaker 1: of the lineup for something like you know, he gets 2136 01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:43,839 Speaker 1: a COVID or twists an ankle or pulls a hamstring 2137 01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:47,880 Speaker 1: or something, and it seems as though, I mean, Chad 2138 01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:51,120 Speaker 1: Henny finished the game for him, But you know how 2139 01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:53,960 Speaker 1: big a drop off is that gonna be right over? 2140 01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:57,759 Speaker 1: Game's over if he's not playing. As far as I'm concerned, 2141 01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:02,640 Speaker 1: Woodstock says, I'll be watching to see Mahomes lose. I 2142 01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:05,559 Speaker 1: do not want to start another decade of watching a quarterback. 2143 01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:09,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes win two Super Bowls and dominate our franchise quarterback 2144 01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:12,479 Speaker 1: for ten years. The Brady Bills era is over. Do 2145 01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:17,120 Speaker 1: not want the Mahomes Bills era to start right? It's 2146 01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:21,559 Speaker 1: a legitimate concern. Jean says, too many years of misery 2147 01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:25,320 Speaker 1: from Tom Brady. Sergio says two reasons to not see 2148 01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:28,559 Speaker 1: Mahomes win. Brady is already our nemesis one more Super 2149 01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,280 Speaker 1: Bowl or not. He has reached that level already. Don't 2150 01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:33,880 Speaker 1: need Mahomes to now become the new Brady. Hope to 2151 01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,160 Speaker 1: make some money hitting on my bets without a bias 2152 01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,120 Speaker 1: that blinded me when the Bills were playing. That is 2153 01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:42,120 Speaker 1: a danger. Don't let your heart come into your betting. 2154 01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:44,320 Speaker 1: You do tend to gamble on teams you do not 2155 01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:48,080 Speaker 1: cheer for? Well gamble? Should you gamble better? Yeah? You should? 2156 01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,640 Speaker 1: That smart? Should do you usually gamble smarter when you 2157 01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,920 Speaker 1: do not have skin in that game? Am I right? Yeah? 2158 01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a gambler, so I'm not. It seems logical 2159 01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:02,840 Speaker 1: to me, but I don't. Yeah, isn't our Super Bowl 2160 01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:07,680 Speaker 1: squares legal? I have no idea. Probably not, Here's probably not. 2161 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching this game by myself with my wife. Well, 2162 01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:16,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a different year this year. We all 2163 01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,400 Speaker 1: know that. I'm trying to remember back to last year's 2164 01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:23,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm trying to remember what I did for 2165 01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:27,440 Speaker 1: last year's Super Bowl because while the while the coronavirus 2166 01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:29,680 Speaker 1: had made its way to the United States by early 2167 01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,400 Speaker 1: February last year, it did not shut the country down 2168 01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:35,880 Speaker 1: until March. Oh, it wasn't even a blip on the radar. 2169 01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:39,400 Speaker 1: So I remember in late January the reports, you know, 2170 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,280 Speaker 1: coronavirus is the first cases have arrived in the US, 2171 01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:46,600 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but nobody had nothing had been ordered, 2172 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,879 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of you know, restrictions or shutting 2173 01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:52,120 Speaker 1: things down or anything. That didn't happ until March, like 2174 01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,920 Speaker 1: a month later. And I'm trying. I can't remember, for 2175 01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,280 Speaker 1: the life of me, what we did for the Super 2176 01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:58,920 Speaker 1: Bowl last year, Like do we have neighbors over, Like 2177 01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:01,080 Speaker 1: what do I can't even remember what we did. Did 2178 01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:02,920 Speaker 1: we go to somebody's house? I can't even remember if 2179 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:04,320 Speaker 1: I was in town. I guess we were in town 2180 01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:09,280 Speaker 1: doing the show. We actually in March when that we 2181 01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:12,000 Speaker 1: were actually took a week, took some vacation time, went 2182 01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:15,200 Speaker 1: to Florida to visit some family, some extended family. We 2183 01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:20,839 Speaker 1: came back the day after Florida reported their first case. Okay, 2184 01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:23,600 Speaker 1: so they reported the first day case like on a Sunday, 2185 01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:27,160 Speaker 1: because it was in Miami last year, right, it was, right, 2186 01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:30,440 Speaker 1: We came back the day it wasn't the super Bowl. 2187 01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:32,880 Speaker 1: It was like a month later. It's on March eighth 2188 01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:36,280 Speaker 1: or ninth. And we came back the day after that, 2189 01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:39,080 Speaker 1: on a Monday after they said they found their first 2190 01:56:39,160 --> 01:56:45,800 Speaker 1: case on a Sunday. And yeah, we three days later. 2191 01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:47,480 Speaker 1: We were out of the studio, and we were out 2192 01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:49,520 Speaker 1: for five months up until August, and we came back 2193 01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,240 Speaker 1: and now we've been doing the show like this ever since. 2194 01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:54,640 Speaker 1: All right, so we are going to take a break 2195 01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,080 Speaker 1: now because when we come back, we are going to 2196 01:56:57,200 --> 01:57:01,960 Speaker 1: bring you some wacky and amazing Super Bowl facts that 2197 01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:07,000 Speaker 1: everyone may not know, some some cryptic facts about the 2198 01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:10,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl that even the most ardent of football fans 2199 01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:13,080 Speaker 1: we'll know.

Here on One Bills Live, 2201 01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:19,000 Speaker 1: presented by Kali to help. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. 2202 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:34,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Taster, 2203 01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:36,720 Speaker 1: with you, and it's that time in the show where 2204 01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 1: we bring you amazing super Bowl facts that you may 2205 01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:45,560 Speaker 1: not know. This one, Steve, I have to admit, was disappointing, 2206 01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:48,280 Speaker 1: this first one, and I'm gonna give you a right. 2207 01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:52,160 Speaker 1: The name super Bowl is supposedly derived from the children's 2208 01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:58,200 Speaker 1: super ball toy. This this disappointed me deeply. But according 2209 01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:00,920 Speaker 1: to the New York Times, the name, which as we 2210 01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,240 Speaker 1: know was was conceived by Lamar Hunt, the former Kansas 2211 01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:08,280 Speaker 1: City Chiefs owner, came up with the name by deriving 2212 01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:10,640 Speaker 1: it from that seventies toy, the super Bowl. Do you 2213 01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,560 Speaker 1: have a super Bowl growing up? I had one? Yeah. 2214 01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:15,200 Speaker 1: They were common, Like, you bounce them as hard as 2215 01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,320 Speaker 1: you can on the ground. It's just hard rubber fifty 2216 01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:20,400 Speaker 1: feet in the air. And then that second bounce, they've 2217 01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:22,680 Speaker 1: got that spin and they bounced forward and you gotta 2218 01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:24,240 Speaker 1: go chasing it down the block. I used to have 2219 01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:26,560 Speaker 1: a problem with that, But my god, that's how we 2220 01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:29,880 Speaker 1: came up with super Bowl. I want to think it 2221 01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:33,120 Speaker 1: was a more I know, but I never really I 2222 01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:35,920 Speaker 1: never really invested super Bowl super Bowl. I don't know. 2223 01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:39,560 Speaker 1: That's disappointing. Whatever. I like this one better, though. Americans 2224 01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:43,040 Speaker 1: eat more than a billion wings on Super Bowl Sunday. 2225 01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:48,680 Speaker 1: Now that that's a thing. That is some American America. 2226 01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:55,120 Speaker 1: Um billions. Yeah, the National Chicken Council one point three 2227 01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,600 Speaker 1: billion or something like that. Yeah, I'm surprised that that 2228 01:58:57,720 --> 01:59:00,720 Speaker 1: there is a National Chicken Council. But they've that's this 2229 01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:03,480 Speaker 1: is a projection. They estimate that Americans eat a record 2230 01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:08,000 Speaker 1: one point three eight billion wings and they did that 2231 01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:12,000 Speaker 1: for Super Bowl fifty three. So Ken, the question is 2232 01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:15,400 Speaker 1: can we top the number? I'm telling you, when gluttony's involved, 2233 01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:18,640 Speaker 1: Americans step up to the plate. So I'm fully anticipating 2234 01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:25,400 Speaker 1: we will surpassed. We're tough to beat in the gluttony department. Oh, 2235 01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:28,360 Speaker 1: that's why they call us American to speak, yes, and 2236 01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:33,400 Speaker 1: is why they call us American pigs in Europe. Um okay, now, 2237 01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:38,920 Speaker 1: dovetailing off of that, Super Bowl Sunday is the second 2238 01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:46,120 Speaker 1: largest food consumption day in this country, second only two Thanksgiving. Yes, 2239 01:59:46,280 --> 01:59:52,680 Speaker 1: of course. Um, this one was interesting. The origination of 2240 01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:54,960 Speaker 1: the I'm going to Disney World thing that you know 2241 01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:57,400 Speaker 1: you always see the quarterbacks saying after they're going off 2242 01:59:57,880 --> 02:00:03,120 Speaker 1: winning It was apparently it was it was said by 2243 02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:09,280 Speaker 1: an executive. Uh, with the Star Wars people. So Michael 2244 02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Eisner and the Disney executive and his wife are sitting 2245 02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:17,720 Speaker 1: down with George Lucas and uh, these people from you know, 2246 02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the Star Wars creators, Dick Brutan and Gina Yeager and 2247 02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:24,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess they had just flown around. 2248 02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Gena Yeager was one of the pilots that there were 2249 02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:30,360 Speaker 1: three pilots that flew around the world NonStop, first ones 2250 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:33,200 Speaker 1: to do it. And during the interview they said, what 2251 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:36,320 Speaker 1: are you gonna do now, he gets I'm going to Disneyland. Yeah, 2252 02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:42,000 Speaker 1: and that's that's that. And Michael Eisner's wife said, that's 2253 02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:44,880 Speaker 1: kind of a neat slogan. Yeah, they used it, and 2254 02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,280 Speaker 1: they used it. And then the first quarterback to ever 2255 02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:50,520 Speaker 1: say it after the Super Bowl was Phil Simms. I 2256 02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:54,600 Speaker 1: got paid seventy five grand to say that in nineteen, 2257 02:00:54,720 --> 02:01:00,360 Speaker 1: like eighty seventy seven damn, which for inflation X two 2258 02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:02,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy grand today, that's a lot for 2259 02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,920 Speaker 1: one sentence.

Super 2274 02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:55,520 Speaker 1: Bowl performers don't get paid at all. Performers, the halftime people, really, 2275 02:01:55,560 --> 02:02:00,720 Speaker 1: they don't get paid like Michael Jackson nothing, Bruce Springstey. 2276 02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:04,560 Speaker 1: All they who All they're covered for is the expenses 2277 02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:09,000 Speaker 1: for the band and they're entourage, which you know stage hands.

Super Bowl winners didn't start 2306 02:03:50,120 --> 02:03:54,760 Speaker 1: visiting the White House until nineteen eighty, Steelers being the 2307 02:03:54,840 --> 02:04:00,560 Speaker 1: first team to do that. Jimmy Carter had them nineteen eighty. Wow. 2308 02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:03,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was well, I do. The President used 2309 02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:07,480 Speaker 1: to always call the winner right in the locker room. Yeah, 2310 02:04:07,520 --> 02:04:09,800 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. That was I remember that growing up. 2311 02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:12,600 Speaker 1: And that was before Reagan used to call like the 2312 02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:15,760 Speaker 1: World Series winners. Yeah, the World Series winner was also 2313 02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:19,360 Speaker 1: a phone call.

It was Chargers Niners. Okay, 2328 02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:19,760 Speaker 1: total seventy five points forty nine twenty six. Yeah, okay, 2329 02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:25,880 Speaker 1: seventy five points super Bowl twenty nine.

Here 2420 02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:28,040 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo 2421 02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:46,560 Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Sorry for what have we learned from today's show? 2422 02:10:46,720 --> 02:10:48,800 Speaker 1: Brought to you by Sky where it's the official construction 2423 02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:51,440 Speaker 1: of Quipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills had Mike 2424 02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:55,960 Speaker 1: Tanure on the show today. He of the Pro Football Network, 2425 02:10:56,040 --> 02:10:59,080 Speaker 1: also a contributor to The New York Times, and he 2426 02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:03,280 Speaker 1: commented on some of the improvements needed for the Bills 2427 02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:06,880 Speaker 1: running game in twenty twenty one. When you go back 2428 02:11:06,920 --> 02:11:10,760 Speaker 1: to Singletary, you go back to Moss, etc. Yeah, they 2429 02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:12,600 Speaker 1: were in the top five, top ten, and things like 2430 02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:15,840 Speaker 1: raching tackles and things like getting yards after contact, and 2431 02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,120 Speaker 1: yet when you look at their per carry averages, they 2432 02:11:18,160 --> 02:11:21,440 Speaker 1: were low. When you looked at things like success rate, 2433 02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:24,040 Speaker 1: which is basically a fancy way of saying, how many 2434 02:11:24,080 --> 02:11:26,600 Speaker 1: times do you get when you gain on first dawn, 2435 02:11:26,680 --> 02:11:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, some little plunge that gainst nowhere, they had 2436 02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:31,600 Speaker 1: very little success rates. That means they weren't getting back 2437 02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:33,120 Speaker 1: to the line of scripts or they were breaking two 2438 02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:36,200 Speaker 1: tackles to gain two yards. That sort of situation was 2439 02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:38,680 Speaker 1: coming up too often. So you know, I dug and 2440 02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:40,360 Speaker 1: dug into the data. I looked at the film to 2441 02:11:40,440 --> 02:11:42,600 Speaker 1: a degree too, and I looked through it, and you 2442 02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:45,800 Speaker 1: know what I discovered is it's not a major problem. 2443 02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,800 Speaker 1: This is not a problem. Whether they're calling terrible players 2444 02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:50,960 Speaker 1: or the backs are terrible. It's a matter of them 2445 02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:53,240 Speaker 1: kind of like like optimizing things a little bit better. 2446 02:11:54,760 --> 02:11:56,480 Speaker 1: So that was MINEC had some good things to say, 2447 02:11:56,520 --> 02:12:00,160 Speaker 1: not only about that, but about how defensive ends the 2448 02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:03,200 Speaker 1: free agent market may find it hard to get true 2449 02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:05,160 Speaker 1: market value in a year where there's going to be 2450 02:12:05,200 --> 02:12:09,280 Speaker 1: a restrictive cap impacting the spending habits of thirty two 2451 02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:11,760 Speaker 1: clubs or the number of clubs that might be looking 2452 02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:13,960 Speaker 1: for some pass rush help. The Bills could be in 2453 02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:17,360 Speaker 1: that group, but there's always a handful of teams that 2454 02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:19,800 Speaker 1: are in cap trouble coming into a year in the offseason. 2455 02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:21,920 Speaker 1: This is it's half the league that is in it's 2456 02:12:22,160 --> 02:12:25,520 Speaker 1: more than serious problems, and that the market is going 2457 02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:27,960 Speaker 1: to be flooded with really good players and the teams 2458 02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:30,400 Speaker 1: that can manipulate it and get the guys they want 2459 02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:33,240 Speaker 1: and keep the guys they have. There's going to be 2460 02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:36,360 Speaker 1: more teams rebuilt from the ground up this year than 2461 02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:38,080 Speaker 1: we've seen in a long long time. And I mean 2462 02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:41,160 Speaker 1: there's already some decent names in the free agent market 2463 02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:44,520 Speaker 1: of pass rushing players that will be out there because 2464 02:12:44,560 --> 02:12:47,200 Speaker 1: their contracts are up. Guy like Janick and Gokway, who 2465 02:12:47,280 --> 02:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the Ravens traded for to make a postseason run this year. 2466 02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, Ryan Kerrigan, veteran Washington. There's a bunch of them. 2467 02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Then you have the guys that could get clipped because 2468 02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:02,360 Speaker 1: of their cost prohibitive contracts for teams that are tight 2469 02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:05,160 Speaker 1: against the cat. Does Von Miller stay on the roster 2470 02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:08,720 Speaker 1: in Denver? Probably not so he probably he's probably gonna 2471 02:13:08,760 --> 02:13:13,000 Speaker 1: get thrown into the fray. Also, so even the talent 2472 02:13:13,120 --> 02:13:16,560 Speaker 1: that's sitting there right now expected to be free agents, 2473 02:13:16,640 --> 02:13:19,280 Speaker 1: that list could get even longer. We're gonna get really long. Yeah, 2474 02:13:19,320 --> 02:13:21,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna get really long. There are some really good 2475 02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:25,080 Speaker 1: football teams, most notably the Saints, the Philadelphia Eagles. They've 2476 02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:27,960 Speaker 1: already begun to trim their roster. They've got huge amounts 2477 02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:29,880 Speaker 1: of money to get rid of and get off their books. 2478 02:13:30,040 --> 02:13:31,720 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some guys out there that can 2479 02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:33,800 Speaker 1: really play and have a lot of experience, not only 2480 02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:37,880 Speaker 1: as a starter, put playoff experience as well. Yeah, it 2481 02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,680 Speaker 1: should make for a very tasty free agent season come 2482 02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,520 Speaker 1: March seventeenth. Saint Patrick's Day of all days is when 2483 02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:48,000 Speaker 1: this league year ends and the new one begins. All 2484 02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:52,960 Speaker 1: he needs twenty million dollars Browning's gold. Yeah, yeah, alright, 2485 02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:55,600 Speaker 1: Why does it sound like some superhero cartoon? Oh we 2486 02:13:55,720 --> 02:13:58,560 Speaker 1: need He's twenty million dollars. It's been Jake over the world. 2487 02:13:59,520 --> 02:14:01,920 Speaker 1: That's all it takes, right, that's all it takes. For 2488 02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:04,280 Speaker 1: a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live, Steve and I 2489 02:14:04,320 --> 02:14:06,880 Speaker 1: will be back tomorrow. Be sure to join us.
