Speaker 1: I tell you, I gotta confess. You know, we we've

95
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: talked about it when I first took the job, but

96
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: this season was going to be a kind of a

97
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a grind. You know. We do five

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: days on the radio, then I'm on the road. Yesterday

99
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: I was in Kansas City and Rahad Statium for Denver,

100
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Got home like it, I don't know. My

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: head hit the pillow like twelve thirty this morning. Yeah,

102
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: and so hum. He knew it was gonna be a

103
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a grind. So a couple of weeks ago,

104
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: I called the producer of Westwood One Radio harton Howard

105
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: Dinner off because I was supposed to do the sideline

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: reporting tonight from Kevin Harlan and UH and the crew

107
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: for Monday Night Football on Radio National Radio. And I said,

108
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: to listen, um, can I not do that? You got

109
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: So I begged out of it, and he said, Okay,

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: I gotta get it. I think I think, I actually

111
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Ross Tucker. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah.

112
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker's taking the former bill. So it's a good

113
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice trade out for me. So

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: it gives me a chance to take a deep breath

115
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and relax with some and see some of these guys

116
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and have some time off last night and I want

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: to dwell on up the whole show here. But last night,

118
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: beating at that party, driving home, I said to my wife,

119
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, I confess I get a little jaded sometimes

120
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: in this job, like, yeah, okay, big deal, that guy's

121
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: in all of fame, Okay, whatever, he's a jerk. Whatever.

122
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: Last night, it was one of the rare times, and

123
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: I like, I'm really lucky to have association with these

124
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: guys then, and for whom I kind of remembered me,

125
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, many of whom at least acted happy to

126
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: see me, happy just to reconnect, you know, And I thought,

127
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm lucky. I'm very fortunate. And it was driven home

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: last night by that party. And for all the stuff

129
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: that's going on about this you know, the Bills are

130
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: a catastrophic underdog in this game, and how the Tom

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Brady and Bill Belichick they've been hammering this team for

132
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: a decade and a half. And then all the stuff

133
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: that's going it's a cruddy day outside and all that

134
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: stuff going on. I gotta tell you, it's weekends like

135
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: this when you see all these guys, you know, like,

136
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in this town for like thirty

137
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: years and we're lifers here now, and I love this

138
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: team and the guys who played here. Guys like Antoine Smith,

139
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: he went to he played for the Patriots. They listen,

140
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: they have great memories of playing in this town. Yeah,

141
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: this town treated these guys no matter where it happened

142
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to them before or after their career, here where they

143
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: played before where they went after, they got a lot

144
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: of great memories. And this you know, it's a special organization.

145
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't and it has been for a long time,

146
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's been good to a lot of guys

147
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: anything and having them come back and touch base again

148
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: is proof of that. And it's it's pretty neat to

149
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: see it, really is. It was great last night, really great. Um,

150

Speaker 1: o'clock today, yesterday afternoon. And I agreed to do this

155
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: months ago, and I'm so glad I did the above.

156
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: Full of Coral Arts Society had their annual fall event

157
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: where they sing patriotic music in the honor of a

158
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Veterans Day coming up in a couple of weeks. Second

159
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: straight year I've done it, narrate the program. We did

160
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: it at Saint Joseph's University Church on Main Street in Buffalo.

161
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: It was just a great event. Three or four hundred

162
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: people there in the audience, and the Buffalo Choral Arts

163
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Society is an amazingly talented group of singers who sang

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: these patriotic songs. I would read little excerpts in between.

165
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I had the easiest job in the place, but just

166
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: a great event. I had so much. It was just

167
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: so fulfilling to do that. And I said to the

168
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: folks in the audience, I said this, I said, my

169
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: typically this time of year, my Sunday afternoons are spent narrating,

170
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, the exploits of very talented performers who've practiced

171
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: for hours and hours to get ready for their performance

172
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. I said, I'm happy to do that

173
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: again here today with a buffalo corl Art And it

174
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: was just great. They were great. And now where do

175
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: they get those Where do those singers come from? Just

176
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: volunteers And it's and it's a whole demographic. I mean

177
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: there's ales and females and different voice ranges and about

178
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: ages and stuff too. I mean, yeah, they're get students

179
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: at yeah, I'm sure, yeah, yeah, anywhere from the twenties

180
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: to you know, probably seventies. I would think, um, about

181
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten singers with one conductor Marcia, And

182
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: it's just an amazing man, I've done it two stree years.

183
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Everybody had a great time. I think it's interesting too,

184
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: because we get you know, you and I have been

185
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: necked eyeball deep in the NFL for me a couple

186
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: of decades, I mean, and we feel like the whole

187
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: universe revolves around it. I've talked to guys who you know,

188
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Hank Bauer, who is a special teams coach for the

189
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920

00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't even He goes, Yeah, he goes, there's a

201
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: lot of people out there that don't care about football, right,

202
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: because I can't believe it. I thought about that yesterday.

203
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the back of the church as the

204
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: crowd was filing in, and I was going over my

205
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: notes and what I had to read and looking at

206
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: the people coming into doing and said, who are these

207
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: people who don't watch football, don't even care about fantasy football?

208
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: I know. It was great, It was great. It's amazing. Yeah,

209
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: but it is. And there's you know, I've got family

210
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: members who are in their own different world as well. Yeah,

211
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: I got one in the military. I got you know,

212
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: when teaches music and stuff like that, and it's fun

213
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: to get in there for a minute and take a

214
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: breath and see how it's other things that are just

215
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: as important to other people as this is to us.

216
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about your weekend. You left early.

217
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: We missed you Friday. We got a great performance on

218
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: the Earth. I touch base with it a little bit.

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: He was keeping tracking a good show, but we didn't

220
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: miss you. Steve went out west. He had to Denver

221
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. But you also had some family time

222
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: prior to y Yeah. I had dinner with my mom

223
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: and dad and my three older brothers, their wives, and

224
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: five of my nieces and nephews and their spouses. Wow.

225
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: And we were just you know, can descend on my

226
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: mom and dad's house, had some pizza and just you know,

227
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: chit chatted and stuff. And then of course we were

228
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: in Kansas City after that for the Broncos Chiefs, which

229
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: was turned You know, it's interesting Chiefs won that handily.

230
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: They didn't handily play better than the Broncos did. The

231
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: Broncos had one or two series in that and that's

232
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: all it takes. The Chiefs went three and out on

233
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: their first series of the game, which was the first

234
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: time they had not scored on their opening drive all year.

235
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: So the Bronchos had them, you know, they were on

236
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: top of them a little bit and they got a

237
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: slow start offensively, but then they had to score with them.

238
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what happens with the Chiefs. They could

239
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: run the ball, they could do anything they wanted offensively,

240
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: and the Broncos took coming out a halftime. The Broncos

241
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: took more penalties in their first drive than they had

242
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: offensive plays of holding, false start, another holding. It was

243
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: unbelievable and they couldn't get and that's and that's what

244
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: did it. They missed out on a couple of series,

245
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs took advantage of it. Scored every series

246
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: after their first series, either a field goal or a touchdown,

247
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: and the Bronchos couldn't keep up with them. And that's

248
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: why that that's why that game got out of hand.

249
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: The Bronchos had him early on in the in the

250
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: game and could not keep up with him. And I

251
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: tell you this, and we're gonna talk about it later

252
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: in the year. Arrowheads still quite a place. Yeah, he

253
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: really is. Yeah, you got to tip your hat to

254
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs fans. They trumpet the fact that they've got

255
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: the loudest stadium in the world. They set the world

256
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: record a few years ago in one forty two point

257
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: two decipels the Yeah they've got that. They've got that

258
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: plastered everywhere. So it was a good game. But the

259
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs are still rolling going. I believe, what are they

260
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: six and one now in the season and or seven

261
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and one now. Sammy Watkins had a couple of touchdowns yesterday.

262
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: And one of the things is you talk about these

263
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: teams around the league, murph and the economics of it

264
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: really does seem to play a role in how they

265
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: play on the field. Mahomes is on his rookie contract,

266
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on his rookie contract, Kareem Hunt on his

267
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: rookie contract. Your fourth option on offense is Sammy Watkins.

268
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey's your third option. Kareem Hunt is number one. You

269
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: know he got my Homes. Sammy Watkins is their fourth

270
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: option offensively. He's making fourteen million. You can do that.

271
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: It's a different it's a different world when you're living

272
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: on that rookie contract, which is why the Bill's got

273
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: to get Josh Hammond backing up and they need him

274
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: and good so they can take advantage of him while

275
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: he's still on his rookie deal. Yeah, and and plus though,

276
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: if you can see it coming and you know that

277
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: you've got that guy, you can you can line yourself

278
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: up to keep that going. But I do think and

279
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks are teaching assists around the league. They were

280
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: the legion of boom when Russell Wilson was on his

281
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: rookie contract. Now he's not and they're not. They can't

282
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: do it with that defense anymore. They can't pay all

283
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: those guys, so they've got to win different way. They

284
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: gotta win with offense. Now, they got to win on

285
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: the back of Russell Wilson and that franchise quarterback. They

286
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: can still wrinkle in some good defense, no question, but

287
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: the economics of it dictate the identity of your team.

288
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: They're not the Legion of Boom anymore. They're the Seattle

289
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: Seahawks with Russell Wilson, and they gotta win like that.

290
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna keep it going, what's they're trying

291
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: to do? You got you gotta build it around where

292
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: the money is. Yep, Hey, we got a good show today. Yea,

293
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: let's tell you about it a little bit. Steve and

Speaker 1: to seven to one six Sports Bar downtown Buffalo, where

298
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: many of Steve's buddies former Thurman Thomas teammates are all

299
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: gathered for I guess a brunch right the lunch and

300
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: talked to a few of them. I don't know. I

301
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: got an invite, but I couldn't go, so I don't

302
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: know what it is. I didn't really I didn't really

303
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: spend time finding out what kind of part it was

304
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: gonna be. We'll see who we wind up with down there.

305
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk to a couple of Thurman Thomas teammates down there.

306
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Coming up at two o'clock. Chris Bermant from ESPN. Chris

307
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: is in town with the ESPN crew. He also will

308
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: be the MC, the host, if you will, of the

309
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: halftime ceremony when Thurman Thomas, number thirty four is retired.

310
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I got to talk about the game as well, but

311
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: there is NFL news today and it just came down

312
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: right before he went on the air, and I don't

313
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: think this qualifies as a surprise, to be honest with you.

314
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns have fired head coach Hugh Jackson. According to

315
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, the Browns two five and one this year.

316
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: That's two more wins from Jackson's first two seasons from

317
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: with the Browns. He was one in fifteen in his

318
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: first season oh and sixteen. Last year, there were rumblings

319
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: that Hugh Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley had had

320
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: a deteriorating relationship at a point that a move might

321
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: have to be made. The move was made. Hugh Jackson's

322
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: going to be fired by the Cleveland Browns. What a mess, Steve.

323
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it during the summer. You

324
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: saw it in Hard Knocks, right. He didn't. He didn't

325
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: not appear to have control of that team or his

326
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: own coaching staff. It appeared. I think the troubling part

327
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: about it was he didn't seem to be leading. No,

328
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: he didn't lead. I mean, he didn't get out in front.

329
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: He sat. He was kind of managing people, managing personality.

330
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: He wasn't leading, And and I know it was a

331
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: tough he was in a tough spot. I thought, and

332
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I thought he was those that

333
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: team was coordinated really well on both sides of the ball.

334
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: No question. Greg Williams and Todd Hailey are big, strong

335
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: personalities who've got a lot of experience and they want

336
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: to run their side of the football with some autonomy.

337
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: But as a head coach, you gotta lead. And I

338
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: didn't think Hugh Jackson did that, at least from the

339
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: outside end. Now I know Hugh Jackson is a very

340
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: good football coach. You don't get an NFL head coaching

341
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: job unless you've displayed that. But it did not go

342
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: well for him there in Cleveland, and I and I

343
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: thought at the end here, you think back at the

344
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: way their season has gone so farmer, there was a

345
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: lot of games they had a chance to win, should

346
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: have won, yeah, and they didn't. If they pull those

347
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: games off, Hugh Jackson's still a head coach, even with

348
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield at quarterback. You know, those early games, the

349
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: tie they had, the overtime games they lost. You know,

350
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: there was a couple of games in there where they

351
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: should have gotten the better of it and they didn't.

352
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna lay that at the feet of anybody,

353
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: you got to lay it at the feet of the leader.

354
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's where Hugh Jackson. Hugh Jackson has gone

355
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: from Cleveland. All right, we still don't know who's going

356
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: to be the interim head coach. See that yet. And

357
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: our friend Ross Tucker, he said, I want to see

358
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a cage match between Greg Williams and Todd Haley, those

359
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: two coordinators. See who's gonna get that. That's an interesting

360
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: I'd pay to see that. Who's gonna do that? Because

361
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: they're both qualified, they've both been head coaches, they both

362
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: had real success on their side of the football. The

363
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: dysfunction starts right at the very top of that organization,

364
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: don't you think the ownership? I mean, you had to

365
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: see it if you watch any of Hard Knocks, and

366
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: I didn't watch all of it, but just on a

367
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: couple of viewings of a couple of episodes, you could

368
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: tell that they were not set up to succeed. They

369
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: were not and they did not, and Hugh Jackson pays

370
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: the price today out as head coach of the Browns.

371
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: All right, we got Monday Night football to talk about tonight.

372
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you. Got an interesting Twitter

373
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: poll and this one is purely the brainchild of our

374
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: man here, Steve Tasker, thinking about the game. Steve came

375
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: in today and he's you know, he's excited about the game,

376
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: worried about the game, about Thurman, excited about the atmosphere.

377
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: So we want to know from you our Twitter poll,

378
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to the most tonight as

379

Speaker 1: the Bills take on the Patriots on Monday Night foot

380
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: at one thirty, we're gonna have a segment. I went

381
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: out earlier into the into the campering lot and did

382
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: some live interview, well live, it'll be live on tape

383
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: with some of the fans out there who showed up,

384
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: most of them showed up yesterday on Sunday for the game,

385
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: and they're they're all last night, all through the night,

386
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: and all day today they'll be they're starting to cook

387
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: and stuff. So we got some interviews with some of

388
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: the fans live from the Interview of Life Food. Well, no,

389
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: it was too early in the day. We got out

390
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: there early. Okay, they were still out there. The fire

391
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: pits were going. You know, everybody had a miserable to

392
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: be out there. They had a little something in their hand,

393
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, swishing around, and they were all ready to go.

394
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: So it was. There's awful here today. It is. And

395
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: you know that stinks too. I know it keeps the

396
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: riff raff out of our town because if the day,

397
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: if the weather stinks in Buffalo, you know, no, we're

398
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: not gonna get any of those fair weather people moving

399
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: in who can't handle us. So, you know, it keeps

400
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: the it keeps the elite living in Buffalo. So I

401
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: get it. But it would be nice to have a

402
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: nice weather day so people come out and still reward

403
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: for those fans tonight, you know, right now it's a

404
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: little rainy thirty eight degrees, cloudy, miserable chili. This is

405
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: the kind of weather that even Buffalonians hate bind the snow.

406
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: The snows are sunshine to be like, but yeah, it's

407
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: hard to love this stuff. Tonight for the game a kickoff,

408
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: it should be thirty eight degrees cloudy that I think

409
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: the rain is scheduled to stop before that. But it's

410
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: not a nice day and I wish it was for

00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,119

00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: That's good. So if you want to watch the halftime ceremony,

442
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: which you can't see on the television coverage from ESPN,

443
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: you will I'll be able to see it live on Facebook?

444
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: Is that the only place it's gonna be live on it?

445
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm asking my our producer, I'm asking too many questions,

446
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: which is right? It'll be quick. You mean it's halftime

447
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: is only twelve or maybe thirteen minutes, and Thurman wouldn't

448
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: tell us this speech is a little bit for four minutes. Yeah,

449
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: and it's it's interesting too because they've got it down

450
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: to a science. They'll they'll run the stage out. I

451
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: mean they gotta they run it out there, set it up, boom,

452
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: it's up right almost right away. It's it's literally a

453
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: thirteen minute halftime from the from when the clock runs out,

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: they start the halftime clock, and thirteen minutes the players

455
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: are off the field and back on the field and

456
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: they kick it off. You know what I look forward to,

457
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: and that part of it um a lot, and it's

458
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: mostly a function of going to that party last night,

459
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: is to see all though. I mean dozens of players,

460
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: maybe forty or fifty former Thurman Thomas teammates, and hopefully

461
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: they all get out there in the field. You'll you'll

462
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: run out there right if they let you. I don't know, yeah,

463
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: if I yeah, I don't know how I haven't been.

464
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm supposed to do or where

465
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be. Even so I don't I'm I'll

466
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: get told I'll be out there though. But it's cool.

467
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: It's really cool, and I'm glad that people are looking

468
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: forward to that. I'm looking forward to that as well.

469
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: I would say, though, if I were voting in our

470
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: Twitter poll and what are you looking forward to the

471
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: most to night, Steve, I maybe an only nineteen percent

472
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: agree with me. I'm looking forward to the game. It's

473
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: a game. The Bills are serious underdogs for good reason.

474
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: They deserve to be what thirteen fourteen point underdogs as

475
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: they are, they should be. They've played a couple of

476
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: bad games in a row. Last week against the Colts

477
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: was awful. The Patriots of one four in a row.

478
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: They're averaging thirty nine points over their last four games.

479
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: But you know what, folks, there's gonna be a game

480
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: here tonight and the Bills are going to compete. I

481
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: have absolute certainty, Steve, that the Bills will compete and

482
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: play hard with that big Monday, that crowd cheering them on,

483
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: and I'm really looking forward to the game. Yeah, maybe

484
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker. But and I am too. I love

485
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, I love the game like you doing and

486
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: plus you and I know because we see everything. We

487
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: watched some practice. We talk to these guys off the

488
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: camera and on the camera and we interview them and

489
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: we talked to it. We can, you know, talk to

490
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott once in a while. Yeah, this is and

491
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I know how this is how players think fans are

492
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: like guys, you know, there there's a lot of angst

493
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: when you play the Patriots because of how good they've

494
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: been over the course of the years and their quarterback

495
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: and their head coach and they're tight end and they're

496
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: slot back and edlement of stuff. But the players on

497
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: that they they prepare for these games, they're gonna believe

498
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: that when they play their game, they're gonna win, They're

499
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna beat that team, and they're they're gonna believe it

500
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: with all their heart when they come out of that

501
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: tunnel and being at home and want to listen to

502
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: the fans there. Um, that's always the exciting thing to

503
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: me because I know both those teams when they come

504
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: out are gonna believe you know what, we gotta let's go. Yeah,

505
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a it's it's something to be

506
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: around that attitude of a bunch of big guys, athletes

507
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: who are trained and practice, you know, the professionals at

508
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: the highest level come out and and and get it on.

509
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's fun. And whether you're an underdog or not,

510
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: you want you want it, you want your shop. Yeah,

511
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: and that's the fun part about it. I love seeing

512
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: guys in that mindset and it's and you get a

513
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: chance to really get up close for it. I'm looking

514
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: forward to the game, yeah, and everything else so well

515
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,120

518
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: package I gotta get. I gotta try and get a

519
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: nap before all this, because you know this, it turns

520
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,679

526
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: from James and Rochester. Go ahead, James around the air

527
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: with us. Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I

528
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: had a Monday night memory that I wanted to share.

529
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: Had to be about thirty years ago. I think Marvi

530
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: had just taken over the team. I believe we were

531
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: playing in Miami and we had a little known running

532
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: back that fumbled the ball on the goal line right

533
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Would have Bills would

534
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: have one. They lost. The next day, Marv made a move.

535
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: He picked up a little known wide receiver from the

536
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: Houston Oilers off of waivers by the name of Steve Tasker.

537
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: If that guy had a score a touchdown on the

538
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: Bills would have one. I don't even know if Steve,

539
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: if Marv would have made that move, and who is

540
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: the running back, I don't remember that. It might have

541
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: been more, I'm not really sure, right on the goal

542
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: line at the end of the game, but Bills would

543
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: have won. Marv caught him the next day and picked

544
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: up James. I love you, man, but that's really I

545
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: get your memories. It's thirty years ago. Um, that's not

546
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: exactly how it happened, but I appreciate that you were

547
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: a sentiment. No Marv's first game as head coach was

548
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: my first game. I was the first guy they picked up.

549
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: He got the job on Monday. I was the first

550
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: new acquisition. And I happened on a Friday night. And

551
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: you did not play in that Sunday's game, did you? Oh? Yeah?

552
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: Did you in Pittsburgh? The Pittsburgh Steelers game? They beat

553
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: him the pitt Marv won his first game. Here was

554
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: a very winning like forty five. Said something like thank

555
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: thank god for forty five stars, stout hearts and a

556
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: strong wind or yeah, yeah, something like that. It was, Yeah,

557
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: it was a good game, but yeah, thanks. I appreciate you, James,

558
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: But I don't know about your memory. I might want

559
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: to go back and check the game log for that one.

560
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: Marv said to me. I said to Marv last night,

561
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: you go into the game and goes I will be there.

562

582
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,359

00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: kool aid? I am interested to see how the defense

595
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: bounces back. The Pats have only faced one good defense

596
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: this year and lost. Mcdermot's teams have bounced back from

597
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: stinker games with great games. I'm picking an upset and

598
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: tons of celebration in Buffalo with number thirty four. Wish

599
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: I lived closer and wish you were here too, Yeah,

600
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: and then another guy named Cello. I just want Buffalo

601
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: to keep it close and hope for New England to

602
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: overlook the Bills. I'm sure most of Newland will come

603
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: in over confidence, so perhaps the Bills can use that

604
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: to get some turnovers or crazy plays to pull it out.

605
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: I know it's doubtful, but a fan can hope. Sure

606
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: he can. Yeah, Yeah, absolutely, that's what it's all about.

607
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: That's why you show up to watch you know, you

608
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: hope that stuff happens. A couple of things this augurs

609
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: in the Bill's favor, Steve. That is the fact that

610
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: la Sean McCoy has been cleared medically cleared yesterday after

611
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: he comes out of concussion protocol limited practice all week.

612
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: I talked to Sean McDermott about it Saturday and he

613
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: said it's kind of trended in that direction, but we'll see.

614
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: And then the word came out yesterday Sunday that he

615
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: has been cleared, got the final approval from the independent

616
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: neurological neurological consultant to say yes, he can play. So

617
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: that's good for the Buffalo Bills, right. Lashan McCoy could

618
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: be a factor. I hope he's a factor in this game.

619
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, I never really had a doubt that he

620
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: would be, because I haven't talked to Lashan or anything,

621
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: but the body language and things and the things that

622
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: have happened in the atmosphere in which they live. If

623
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: this was we're playing in nineteen seventy eight, he wouldn't

624
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: have come out of last week's game. You know, you

625
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I mean, that's how far we've come,

626
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: and for good reason, But I kind of figured he'd,

627
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, he would bounce back and be ready, particularly

628
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: watching him even his body language in the in the

629
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: hits we did from practice this last last week, he

630
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, he was he had some spring

631
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: in his step. He was happy to be out there.

632
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: And I think what happens. And I'm not a doctor,

633
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: but my observations about the way they run the concussion protocol,

634
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: unless they have a setback after that week when they

635
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: have there, when they do get a concussive as an event,

636
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: unless they have a setback headed into the next week,

637
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, they're usually pretty good to go, and usually

638
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: you know pretty early in the week how close they're

639
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: gonna be. Patriots are gonna be without their top running

640
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: back Sony Michelle, the rookie of the first round draft pick.

641
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: He's been ruled out with a knee injury that does

642
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: not come as a surprise. Over the weekend, the Patriots

643
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: also a ruled out starting tackle Marcus Cannon ruled out

644
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: for tonight's game. The Bills to be without Trent Murphy

645
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: with his knee injury suffered late in the game at Indianapolis.

646
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: He will not play in tonight's game, Rob gruncows he

647
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: is going to play for the New England Patriots. He

648
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: did not play last week for the Patriots in their

649
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: game against Chicago. He was questionable going into this game

650
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: with back in ankle injuries, but he is going to play.

651
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: According to ESPN an NFL insider Ian Rappaport, Gronk got

652
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: limited work in practices this week miss last week with

653
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: back in ankle injuries, and Rob Gronkowski talked over the

654
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: weekend about yes he will play and how much fun

655
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna have playing in the game in his hometown.

656
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: Here's right, it's always special to go up there. I

657
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: mean this is like my seventh eighth time going up

658
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: there and playing in Buffalo. I mean it's always an

659
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: honor and it's always special to go up where you

660
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: grew up watching them and everything, and it's it's cool.

661
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean the atmosphere you can't ask for like a

662
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: better football atmosphere either. I mean, especially coming this Monday night,

663
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rocking there. It's gonna be popping, and

664
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of the most electric atmospheres can

665
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: you can get in football. I would say, how do

666
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: you think the builds they're gonna responding that kind of atmosphere.

667
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nuts, hands down. I mean the games

668
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: are nuts on a Sunday, want to click, but I

669
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: mean from Buffalo, they're gonna be starting early. Yeah, parties

670
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna probably be starting at ten am. It's gonna go

671
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: till after the game even maybe even longer. So it's

672
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna be popping, just straight popping, straight popping from Rob Gronkowski.

673
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: He knows this place, He gets this place. Um, you

674
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: were out there in the parking lot. The parties already

675
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: started pretty much right. Oh yeah, it was, it was.

676
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: It was great. And you know, it's just part of

677
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: the what they do. You know, they're gonna show up

678
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get their fire pits going. They're gonna

679
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know, break out their encampment

680
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: so to speak, you know, which is what a lot

681
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: of them do. And some of them have got a

682
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: wired man, they're they're nice setups. So uh And I

683
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: think the thing about it is that you get that

684
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: you really don't realize people show up and you think

685
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna tailgate with your crew and all that stuff.

686
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: It's a community. Yeah, well, they you know, cross pollinate

687
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: between their You know, your guys come over to our

688
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: our tailgate, we'll sw up over yours, and then a

689
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: couple of groups will come out. He'll hear him talk

690
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: about how people show up in the estuar throw something

691
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: in the kitty for the food they feed anybody that

692
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: walks by. Yeah, so it's kind of fun. Yeah, what

693
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: do you think? Look? Rob has played for the enemy

694
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: for the Patriots for his entire NFL career. His last

695
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: appearance here last year was the game where he hit

696
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: the Tredavious White who's lying face down on the field

697
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: at the time. He drilled him in the back after

698
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: the whistle had blown the play was dead. Rob got

699
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: a one game suspension for that Rob Grenkowski sort of reception.

700
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Do you think Grenkowski can't expect tonight they'll boo him. Yeah,

701
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean they'll boo him. I think you know they

702
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: played since that time as well. You know, they had

703
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: one game last year and Twitter in New England, So

704
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: and that stuff tends to get washed away pretty quickly,

705
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: particularly after you've already had a game against him in

706
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: the interim. But this will be his first trip back

707
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: to Buffalo since then so yeah, he it'll be chilly,

708
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: no question. But you know, nevertheless, I mean it's like

709
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: he said, he plays up here once a year, yeah,

710
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: and twice a year against the team, so they that

711
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: was troubling. People already did have some animosity that was troubling.

712
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: That was not I've never seen him do that or

713
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: act like that. I saw him like after the game

714
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: walking up the tunnel last year, after that that particular game,

715
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: and what I wanted to send. I know, Rob, I've

716
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: known him since he was a teena. I wanted to say, Rob,

717
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: what the hell you think you do? I did, and

718
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: I looked him and said Rob, and he's like mister Murphy,

719
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: and it was like that that's all it was. But

720
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: I think he knew. I think he knew her he did.

721
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: It was a it was an act of frustration, no

722
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: question about it, like like all that stuff always is.

723
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a um he you know, there's no question.

724
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, Turdevius should have been called for a penalty

725
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: on the play, but it's and he acted out frustrating,

726
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: But that's that's the life. And you're a guy like

727
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, that's the way you live your life. You're

728
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna get defended like that, and he knows it. But

729
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: in a frustrating game, he acted out in a way

730
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: that I think he's a little uncharacteristic of him, but

731
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: well it is. He's never done that before and hasn't since,

732
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: but got one game suspension and he should have. He

733
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: should have, And I gotta tell you, I keep thinking

734
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: about it. In the era in which we live, in

735
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: the discipline and the culture that Sean McDermott has on

736
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 1: the team now, I was really really impressed that there

737
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a bench clearer. I mean because back in my

738
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: area it would have been, and it would have been

739
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: for any team back then. Now you've got guys that

740
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: are more disciplined than they you know. And the officials

741
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: were on top of it and they saw it and

742
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: called the penalty right away. But man, oh man, that

743
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: would have been a bad, bad scene, an embarrassing scene

744
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: for the league had it happened in another era. He's

745
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: a player, we know that, and he can be a

746
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: difference maker against the Bills. Rob Gronkowski, what do you

747
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: think of the game? What are you most looking forward to?

00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,520

Speaker 1: free games going to start probably shortly after we go

836
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: after the year at three o'clock. Steve, you spent the

837
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: weekend in Kansas City, Kansas City. I was listening to

838
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of that game on the radio. Which

839
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: hold us, which hold us? He's good. Touchdown Kansas City

840
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: did it a lot. He's doing it a lot this year.

841
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: They're good. Yeah. They are in sights and sound sideline

842
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: sounds presented by Bows, the official headphones of the Buffalo Bills,

843
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: And yesterday I had my Bows noise canceling headphones on

844
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: all day. Really it's loud and Arrowhead you can there's

845
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: you know, there were six and one coming into the

846
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: game and they are hitting on all cylinders. And one

847
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: of the things we found out about them Arrowheads still

848
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: the loudest stadium around and with good reason. You got

849
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: a team that's that's high flying, it's fast, it's fun

850
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: to watch. Patrick Mahomes and my broadcast partner Rich Gannon

851
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: was quoted yesterday and retweeted because he doesn't throw this

852
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: stuff around. Rich is a serious dude, and he's a grinder.

853
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: And he said in the seventeen years he played, in

854
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: the fourteen years he's been a broadcaster, he's never seen

855
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback this young, with this much talent as Patrick Mahomes.

856
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: And there's also some stuff out. Patrick mahomesh having a

857
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: phenomenal year in the UH. He and Tom Brady and

858
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning have thrown this many touchdowns through this point

859
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: in the season. And the other two guys, yeah, here

860
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: they go to, UH, let me make sure I get

861
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: this because this is really interesting and I had I

862
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: don't want to make sure. I want to make sure

863
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: I get it exactly right. Number of touchdowns. Uh, Peyton

864
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: Manning and Tom Brady are the only two guys to

865
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: throw this many touchdowns at this point in the season.

866
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: They all wont They won the MVP in the years

867
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty five or more touchdowns in the first date games

868
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: every year those guys did it. They won the MVP.

869
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes did it yesterday, finished it up yesterday doing

870
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: It's hard for a team to be considered fast in

871
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: a league where everybody can run really well. The Kansas

872
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: City Chiefs are fast. Sammy Watkins, their fourth option offensively,

873
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: is making fourteen million bucks. He's the only guy that's

874
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: getting paid over there. Kelsey probably is two as well.

875
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: But that's a team where the economics are in their

876
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: favorite at this point. They're they're lined up to have

877
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: this great offense for a while. The Denver Broncos and

878
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: all of having said all of that, the Denver Broncos

879
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: could have beaten them yesterday. They lost double digits. They

880
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: lost by ten points. But that's a game that the

881
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: Broncos are going to say, you know what, we had

882
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: a plan. The plan would have worked if we could

883
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: have hung in there. The Broncos came out after halftime

884
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: and could not stay on the field offensively. They had

885
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: more penalties accepted than they did offensive plays at one

886
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: point in their after their first series, it was it

887
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: was crazy. The Broncos did it to themselves as much

888
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: as the Chiefs defense did. And those are the sideline

889
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: sounds presented by Bose the official headphones with the Buffalo Bills.

890
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad I had those yesterday. Yeah, it was loud. Um.

891
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are seven and one. This came out of

892
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: that game. I want to ask you if you notice this.

893
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: The Broncos are complaining a little bit about how the

894
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: linemen line up downfield in pass protection when it comes

895
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: to RPOs run pass options. We know the Chiefs like

896
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: to do that a lot. The Broncos say, the Chiefs

897
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: are bending the rules on downfield blocking when they put

898
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the RPOs. Derek Wolf defensive end for denversus,

899
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: what's the cutoff point for offensive lineman? When is the

900
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,479
Speaker 1: guy offside? When is he not as a twelve yards

901
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: because they're ten yards downfield on pass play? Sometime? He

902
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: said that's always been illegal. I've never been at a

903
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: meeting where they said it was okay for lineman to

904
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: be that far downfield. So they get into RPOs with

905
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: basically the option to run or pass the lineman, offensive

906
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: lineman shoot downfield ten or twelve yards for Kansas City.

907
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: The Broncos argue, hey, they're illegally downfield, you know it is.

908
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: And then what happens is they come out to run

909
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: like on a run run play. Yeah, and then the

910
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: quarterback throws it in behind them. They're in front of it,

911
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is illegal. It's hard because nobody really

912
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: keeps track of it, you know. I mean that it's

913
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: one of those things that's never been an issue, mostly

914
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: because you know, the guys are passed protecting, so you

915
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: kind of forget that that's a rule. And when these

916
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: RPOs come about, the offensive linemen are now doing different

917
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: things than they were, and the officials it's not on

918
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: their radar, just start looking for in it. You know.

919
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: It's complicated enough, but you're right. When they do those

920
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: RPOs and the quarterback releases that football on a play

921
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: action fake or pulls it out of the stomach of

922
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: the running back and throws it, the offensive linemen are

923
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: already downfield blocking for a running play. So that's an

924
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: issue that's going to have to be addressed. If it

925
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: becomes a point of emphasis, it's going to throw a

926
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: wrench into that offense. You know, we saw it on

927
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: the one play that we've been watching on the ESP

928
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: or on the MSG replay, the Kareem Hunt hurdling play.

929
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: Derek Will says that playing in particular, he said, it's

930
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be a dead play. The right guard is

931
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: off sides, the right guard is off sides. I went

932
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: to stand up thinking they were going to call it,

933
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: and they did not. And we've seen that play a

934
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: couple of times. The Broccos thought that they were gonna call,

935
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, the man was illegally downfield. They did not,

936
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: and Wolf scores and to his credit, advanced Joseph, the

937
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: Broccos head coach. He said, what's the rules? Say, I

938
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: don't know. We have to figure this out. And that's

939
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: on tape. That's on tape. I've seen it now. He

940
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: did say, that's not why why they lost. He said

941
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: they hurt themselves. But he said they missed that call.

942
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: I think that's really fascinating. Here's what happened. Was an

943
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: offensive approach that's taken over the league run pass option,

944
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: and you can see why defenses and say, hey, wait

945
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: a minute, those guys are illegally downfield blocking. That wasn't

946
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: That's not really an RPO that the show with a hurdle.

947
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: What it is is a shovel pass. It's an option play.

948
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: They run the quarterback Mahomes comes down the line. With

949
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: like the old triple option where he's gonna page it

950
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: back to the running back. Well, instead of pitching it back,

951
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: he pitches it forward to the running back who's behind

952
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I think if he's behind the

953
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, which he was in this case, that

954
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: changes things because then it's it's it's a behind the

955
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage passed like a screen pass, and they

956
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: can get out in front of that. That's the difference.

957
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: Now RPO it's different where the quarterback drops back and

958
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: throws it down the field overhand. This time he shoveled

959
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: it forward underhand to the running back who's behind the

960
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. That's a that's not really an RPO

961
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: like we were talking about. But but there's no question

962
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line are getting out in front of it.

963
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: They treat that like a running play. And that's uh,

964
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: that's something the legal have to look at because if

965
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: you know that there's a lot going on there, and

966
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: and and no question the Chiefs are taking advantage of

967
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: the rules. Steve a week ago for CBS, you saw

968
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 1: the Rams. Yesterday for CBS, you saw the Chiefs. People

969
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: think that's a Super Bowl preview. They're gonna play in

970
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Yeah, November nineteen Monday. Defensively, the

971
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: Rams are better, markedly better. Uh. That team the Rams,

972
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: I think is more complete. Their offense Uh is not

973
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: as wow, knock your socks off like the Chiefs is,

974
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: but they're still very good. Todd Gurley. Uh, those the

975
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: passes and goff and the receivers of that Rams team

976
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: are all all over the field. They're fast, and they

977
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: can go vertical. Brandon Cooks and those guys, they got

978
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: guys running free all the time. Plus Todd Gurley gives

979
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: them an added element. Uh. They are as good as

980
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense, but their defense is very good. I

981
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be. That's gonna be the difference That

982
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: to me is is a preview of a playoff maybe

983
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: super Bowl matchup between those two because they are they

984
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: are in collision course. And I've said this before, Murphy,

985
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: keep telling you every week and maybe you'll probably be

986
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: able to You'll probably be able to recite it to me.

987
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: The challenge for the Rams and the Chiefs is keeping

988
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: it going. Now. Ye got eight weeks to go, They

989
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: got eight weeks to go. There it's gonna be hard

990
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: to play at the level they're playing at for another

991
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: two months before they even get to the playoffs. And

992
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: then start playing teams that are playing well yea, every week.

993
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: These teams that are hitting their stride, that have got

994
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: it together, that are healthy, that hit the playoffs running.

995
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: Then you've been plowing through these teams that are injured

996
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: or they you know, they you know, that are struggling

997
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: on one side of the ball or the other. All

998
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you get to the playoffs and you

999
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: see it. Saw it last year with the Vikings. They

1000
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: barely got to the championship game because they had that

1001
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: miracle play against the Saints. The Saints were playing really well.

1002
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: You know, you start running too these teams. You don't

1003
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: run into these you know that two and five teams,

1004
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: the one in six teams. Yeah, you know, you don't

1005
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: run into two and fourteen teams in the playoffs. You

1006
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: don't run into the Browns at one and five who

1007
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: fired their head coach. In the playoffs. You run into

1008
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: these teams that are got that are going you know,

1009
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: the Mike Tomlins and Ben Roethlisbergers of the world. You

1010
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of bump into those guys and they don't budge.

1011
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: So that's and you've been playing easy, and it's been

1012
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: going easy, and all of a sudden, you get into

1013
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: these games in the playoffs, like the Chiefs and Rams

1014
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: are headed for and you trip, you have a bad game,

1015
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: you don't, You get into some problems you haven't faced

1016
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: during the regular season, and then you lose, you know,

1017
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: and this great season you've had is like, wow, yeah going.

1018

00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: the important stuff. What free stuff are they handing out

1093

1094
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: you couldn't do it on air in a way if if,

1095
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: if you had access to it. You know, mimosas and

1096
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: you know Bloody Mary isn't very nice, but we know

1097
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: things that typically happened to him Buffalo. Yeah, but all

1098
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: the free stuff for last night, Uh, that was a

1099
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: nice gift bag last night. Hey Biscuit, I was thinking

1100
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: about this, Uh, what is it about Thurman Thomas that

1101
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: brought such a strong representation of his teammates back? There

1102
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: were dozens of you guys there last night, still dozens

1103
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: in town today, and I was thinking, I don't know

1104
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: how many players could get that much support. But what

1105
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: is it about the Thurman Thomas that brought all these

1106
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: guys back? Do you think, Well, that little guy, you know,

1107
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: he um, he always hung around the defensive guys more

1108
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: than anything, I thought, you know, so I guess for

1109
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: a defensive players. Um, we were able to get close

1110
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: to him in the back of up you know, in

1111
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: the back of the plane and what have you after games.

1112
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: But Thurman, I mean, he's he's you know, a likable

1113
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: guy in a way, and and you know, if he

1114
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: watched him work, you couldn't do anything but like him

1115
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: and love him. And and that's you know, I think

1116
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: that's more than anything. That's why guys are here because

1117
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: you knew when he played, and you know, he gave

1118
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: it his all and and um even today, I mean

1119
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: he's the same guy his year. It is, you know, uh,

1120
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: one of the best spirits in the world. Um. And

1121
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: I love him, you know, and we all do. And

1122
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: that's why we're here. I was gonna ask you about that,

1123
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about how Thurman was in the

1124
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: locker room, because I remember him. He was a strong voice.

1125
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: And I remember even back in when we were the

1126
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: bickering bills in nineteen eighty nine, he did not shy

1127
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: away from any of that controversy because he felt it

1128
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: was the right thing to say and he and he

1129
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: was right yeah, definitely Steve, you know, as I say,

1130
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, being a defensive player, his mindset was that

1131
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: upper defensive player, you know, he and Jim both, you know,

1132
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: those guys, they could have easily fit on the other

1133
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: side of the football in my opinion, you know, as

1134
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: far as the attitudes were concerned, and Thurman, um, he

1135
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: wasn't shy. You know. You remember them one time on

1136
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: the plane, Steve when he got on the PA system

1137
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: and we thought it was an address from Nick captain

1138
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: and it was having to be Thurman. What did he

1139
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: say going after the team? You know, well, you know

1140
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: this is live TV. Yeah, I can't say, but yeah

1141
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: it was if it was true, if if I knew

1142
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: what was going on in the charter flights, we would

1143
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: have been busting to the games, I'm sure, but uh yeah,

1144
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: exactly right, a hits hiking or something. But but he

1145
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: was it was honest. It was an honest, you know

1146
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: assessment of what had you know, transpired during the game

1147
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: that day. And and he was right. Had we given

1148
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: him the ball more in that game, we probably would

1149
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: have won. He said, you know that, and among other things, well, yeah,

1150
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: exactly right. It was. It was very you know I'm

1151
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: giving you the brook. But it was one of those

1152
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: things where if it weren't, you really be upset if

1153
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: it weren't true. And it was okay as long as

1154
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: he's talking about everybody else. But then he got to

1155
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: everybody and and it was bited. It was you go

1156
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: roll by the road through the plane. Yeah, phase of

1157
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: the game by phase of the game, and it was

1158
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: nobody was escaped it and it was all true. And

1159
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: that was it was. It was Eli and coach Eli

1160
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: would would he eased down the aisle to come back

1161
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: to the back of the lane where Thurman was, and

1162
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, and and and gathered him up as Eli

1163
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: Eli could and you know, got him to come down

1164
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. But yeah, he likes the only guy

1165
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: that could. He likes the only guy that could talk

1166
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: Thurman off the edge. Exactly. Yeah, that was that was

1167
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: real cool. Cords, What can you expect about tonight? What

1170
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: of the players to see Thurman be honored like he

1171
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: is tonight in the stadium. You know, it's I go

1172
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: back and I think back when when when BB won

1173
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and Green Bay and him mentioning us

1174
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: a guy you know, us guys back here in Buffalo

1175
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: U after he won the Super Bowl, you know how

1176
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: you know he felt as though we were a part

1177
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: of it. And we all are part of BB success

1178
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: and Thurman success. And our numbers aren't retired, Steve, you

1179
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: and I and and when his you know, when they

1180
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: unveiled tonight, I feel like nine and seven is up

1181
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: there somewhere. And you're gonna feel like eighty nine is

1182
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: up there somewhere as well. And and and that's why

1183
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: we're here. And we all celebrated together when we won

1184
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: a back then, and we're gonna all celebrate tonight. And

1185
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: as you know, what a great event, great honor well

1186
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: deserved to the Thurnmin and Pad and the rest of

1187
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: the family, but to all the former players that are here. Man,

1188
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, this is what it's all about, especially when

1189
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: we get old like we are now. Man, This is

1190
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: all we have and and families, you know, part of it.

1191
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: And and we're a great, big family and we always

1192
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: will be Cornish. What do you think of the Bill's

1193
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: chances tonight? What are you watching Fortunit when you watch

1194
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: your Buffalo line up against the Patriots. So it's it's ironic.

1195
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: I was here last year and led the charge during

1196
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots game last year, and I remember, now, this

1197
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: is me as an old football player trying to tell

1198
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: you about what I would take into this game. I

1199
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: remember the gonkowski played last year on the sideline in

1200
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: front of the bench, and and and sitting here today

1201
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: thinking about leading up to the game, I'm fired up.

1202
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: I can't do anything about it but but be fired up.

1203
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: But in the locker room, somebody should be talking about that.

1204
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: And it should light of round of their butts to

1205
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: go out tonight and play their best football. And and

1206
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: if they go out and do that, they have a

1207
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: great chance of winning. You know, you have to have

1208
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: something to light of fire. And and and I'm telling

1209
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: you as a fan of the game and a you know,

1210
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fan, and I love the Bills. Um that

1211
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: fires me up. And and I hope they some kind

1212
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: of way they can see this, and and and and

1213
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: and somebody you know, say, man, you know that old cat,

1214
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: he's fired up about about last year and what happened.

1215
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: Then you got to be as well. You know, we're

1216
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: just fans now, but yeah, that's uh, you know, they

1217
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: go out and play that best game, may have a chance.

1218
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: We have credis. I said this a little earlier in

1219
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: the show, and I guess I put it this way.

1220
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: Our team that we played on the early nineties would

1221
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: not have had the discipline in that instance that the

1222
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: Bills displayed when Gronkowski had his left. It would have

1223
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: been it would have been, it would have It would

1224
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: have taken him a long long time to sort that out, yes,

1225
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: because it would have been a bench First of all,

1226
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: it would have been a bench clearing, I tell you what.

1227
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: They even you say that, but I remember saying like this,

1228
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: I don't think about it. Would have tried us like that? Yeah,

1229
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean necessarily we we we we we uh, we

1230
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: had that much respect around the league. I don't think

1231
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 1: about it. Would have tried us like that? Man. Yeah,

1232
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: they knew, they knew it wasn't gonna just be one

1233
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: of two guys. It was gonna be coaches. I mean

1234
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: you go back to branstonahand and the only Marv would

1235
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: not have crossed the field probably yeah, because Levin would

1236
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: have been you know, well, he would have he would

1237
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: have wanted about it as well, because he would have,

1238
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, talked, he would have he would have talked

1239
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: the coach off the LEDs by, you know, using those

1240
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: big worries that year. You know. Yeah, but yeah, and

1241
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't know that anything will

1242
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: happen as a result of what happened with Gronkowski and

1243
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: tradevious last year. But I do think that it's something

1244
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: people because it's the first time they've been back into

1245
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: this building. They played later in the year in New England,

1246
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: but that's the first time back in this building. And

1247
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: it does and it does. I think it does say

1248
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: something that Thurman's ceremony at a halftime is happening as well.

1249
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a big event. I think it's a

1250
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: big deal for fans here in Buffalo, particularly of our

1251
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: vintage who watched that team for so many years. Yeah,

1252
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, I if you know, you got to find

1253
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: something to get you going, you know. And and I

1254
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: know the game has changed a lot, and guys are

1255
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: more business a student than we were, so they think

1256
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, Um, you know, we didn't need

1257
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: much the fires up. I mean, you know, we love

1258
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: playing the game. And I not to say these kids don't.

1259
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: But um, I mean that incident in itself to me. Um,

1260
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: I know I would have been waiting every time we

1261
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: play them for the rest of my career. That would

1262
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: be in the back, you know, in the forefront of

1263
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,479
Speaker 1: my mind every week that that the game came around.

1264
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I would never ever not going to a

1265
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: game against an opponent and somebody did something like that

1266
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: to one of my teammates or to myself, that I

1267
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't go out and and want some kind of revenge,

1268
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: not to physically hurt them anything, but to kick their butts. Hey, Corneys,

1269
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: it's great to talk to it. It was good to

1270
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: talk to you last night. Thank you for spending a

1271
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: few minutes with it. Sifterday, go have another Mimosa or something.

1272
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: Hey man, it's always great to be back home too.

1273
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: Corney spent at linebacker joining us. Uh. Wow, it's great, man.

1274
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: He's fired up, Steve. You can tell he's fired up

1275
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: about the Gronkowski hit. Yeah, he knew he would be.

1276
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: And it was clear too that Um he was not alone.

1277
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's it's something that people think about.

1278
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: And Um, I and I givin hit getting the suspension

1279
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: like he did last year said a lot that the

1280
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: league was on top of it as well. But uh,

1281
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. Uh you know, I can't say

1282
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: enough about the discipline they showed. Um, not you know,

1283
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: not making that into a fight. Um because Gronkowski was

1284
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: mad because he got he gave up the interception and

1285
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: uh then to go down and retaliate like he did. Man,

1286
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 1: it was it was bad. It was. Hey, we're talking

1377
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: for the jail. You know what's funny about it, A

1378
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: nap is really important right now. It's it's like, you know,

1379
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: back in the day when when you were twenty five

1380
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: and nap didn't come into your brain, But now you're

1381
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: you're a little bit upset that's like a priority, man,

1382
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a priority. Yeah. With Andre Reid, the Hall of

1383
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Fame wide receiver and Andre Bill's Patriots. You played in

1384
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: many memorable Patriots games over the years. They're thinking and

1385
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: one at Foxborough, Uh, it's something happened. I can't remember.

1386
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: One on the sideline and the referee wound up saying

1387
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: just give it to him. Remember that game that they

1388
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: basically stole one from the building. Yeah, Foxborough that day,

1389
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: you were there. Yeah, I think I think it was

1390
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: it was Doug Fluted, a quarterback, right, Yeah, it was

1391
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback back then. So yeah, I remember, Um, I

1392
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: caught a pass for a touchdown and then that that

1393
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: that sideline thing happened, and then we were all trying

1394
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: to figure out whether I don't know if he was

1395
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: in bounds or something. Something happened and we were like, well,

1396
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: we're in New New England, so we might not have

1397
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: a chance here. Yeah, but you know, all the games

1398
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: that we played against the Patriots. I always tell Patriot

1399
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: fans when I see them everywhere, there's a Bill's Bar

1400
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: in San Diego that I go to sometimes. So we

1401
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: used to own you guys before Tom for Belichick. We

1402
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: used to own them. But uh people, Yeah, Bills fans

1403
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: need to hear that. The Brady twenty eight and three

1404
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: against the Bills. But before that, you guys had tremendous

1405
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: success in Foxborough at that old dumpy stadium and here

1406
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. Yeah yeah, and that stadium had to

1407
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: remember me and Steve. We would come out, you know

1408
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: for warm ups and in the corners of the end

1409
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: zone they had it was rolled up like the turk.

1410
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: It worked pretty worth was it wasn't pretty so running

1411
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: like a seven cut over there, you're like, nah, I

1412
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,959
Speaker 1: don't want to go over there. But anyway, I think

1413
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Bill's Patriots rivalry has been has has

1414
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: been great. Um. I mean, if you look at our

1415
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: rivalry in Miami over the years, it was always you know,

1416
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: when Marino and Jim playing against each other. It's not

1417
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: like that anymore. But anytime the Patriots come up here,

1418
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 1: and obviously with what they have done over the past

1419
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years, it's always a big game here. And

1420
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: if we can pull this out tonight, you know, that

1421
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: would be it would be a big put it this way,

1422
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: A lot of work would be done tomorrow we win tonight. Yeah, Yeah, Andre, Yeah,

1423
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: what's it like for a player and for the rest

1424
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: of the players, not just Thurman, but for the rest

1425
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: of the guys on those teams to see Thurman's jersey

1426
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: retired in in the stadium. Well, I think, you know,

1427
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: these guys come back here for a reason, and this

1428
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: is just another notch in a belt for not only

1429
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: what they have done here as players, but to see

1430
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: a teammate of theirs that and only as a Hall

1431
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: of Fame player, a Hall of Fame guy, and to

1432
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: have his team put him on the wall and retire

1433
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: his jersey. I mean, that's uh. And I've talked to Thurman.

1434
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: I just talked to him a little bit and he said,

1435
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: you know that's yeah, that's pretty cool. That's a that's

1436
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of like one of the ultimate things that he's

1437
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna chair USh the rest of his life. So to

1438
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: be here for that and to celebrate that with him,

1439
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a I just appreciate him, and I'm having me

1440
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: here for that. Andrew, I was telling Steve about Steve

1441
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: was working with CBS yesterday. He did not get to

1442
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: that Sunday night party last night that I was there,

1443
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: and I told him about how you know, there's a

1444
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: group of guys that come in for Jim Kelly's golf

1445
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: tournament every year. Last night there was a whole new

1446
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: subset of guys that I haven't seen in years. You

1447
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: must feel that way too. Who are you most excited

1448
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: to see last night that you haven't seen in years?

1449
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: I saw Charlie Romes last night, and I haven't seen

1450
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Roones and probably twenty twenty five plus years. I

1451
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: know Bill's fans, that's a that's a blast from the past.

1452
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: But you know, Charlie Romes was a guy when I

1453
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: came in as a rookie and he was one of

1454
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: the defensive backs here and he said, come here, son,

1455
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: let me show you how to play this game, and

1456
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: let me show you what they're gonna do and all this,

1457
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Like you know, Jerry Butler. These guys took me under

1458
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: their wing. And I always remember these guys because not

1459
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: only did he make me the player that I was,

1460
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: but they made me the person I was too. And

1461
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: they taught me about the game and what it entails

1462
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: and what you need to do, uh to stay in

1463
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: this game. And uh, that's really what these young players

1464
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: need to be. They need to embrace the older guys said,

1465
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: will you play this? So many years? How did how

1466
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: did that happen? Well? This, this, this and this and

1467
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: this what you have to do? Uh? And it guess what.

1468
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like a cliche, right, Steve. It sounds like

1469
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: a cliche, but it's true. Um, even though the game

1470
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: has changed in a lot of ways, you still need

1471
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: to show up and you still need to play. That's

1472
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: really what it's about. Andre Reid, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 1: about Justin Tucker. Justin Tuck, No, justin Josh Tucker. Yes,

1510
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Josh Tucker, the kicker for the Baltimore Ravens, who Justin Tucker. Yes,

1511
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: missed his first kick as a professional as an extra

1512
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: point and was perfect up to that point over two

1513
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: hundred attempts and he missed one. So and if you

1514
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: saw that, did you see the kick? It was headed

1515
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: right down the pipe and just took a right time.

1516
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: He got blown by like a like a an air

1517
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: blast or something, and it just took a right turn

1518
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: right out. He hit it perfect and it just took

1519
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: a hard turn right and went wide and he missed

1520
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: it and it cost him the game. It was the

1521
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: last kick of the game. Amazing. So, yeah, that we're

1522
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna use some of that kind of luck. Everybody can

1523
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: use that. And he's right, he said, And Joe was talking.

1524
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 1: The caller was just talking about, Hey, you got something's

1525
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen for the Bills to win this game. Some

1526
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: things are going to happen that that don't usually happen

1527
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady just because he's good and the team's

1528
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: good around him. They got to sack him a couple

1529
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: of times, They got to get after him, got to

1530
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: make him uncomfortable. The guy's forty one years old. Hopefully

1531
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: there's not that many guys on our defense he can

1532
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: out run so and I've seen him. He wasn't that

1533
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: fast when he was twenty five, let alone when he's forty.

1534
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But there's no question the Bills are

1535
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to play better than they did a week ago.

1536
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that gives you doom

1537
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: and gloom. You forget how well the Bills defense was

1538
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: playing up until last week in Indianapolis. It's a big night.

1539
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: It's a big day in Buffalo around the Bills with

1567
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: of guys got to interact with each other, to see

1568
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: guys you hadn't seen in a while, and some guys

1569
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: were gotten big and some guys were gotten small. So,

1570
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: you know, just to see him and and a chance

1571
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,719
Speaker 1: to talk to him was you know, satisfying and refreshing. Darrel,

1572
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: I was telling Steve this and even Adter a minute ago.

1573
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,919
Speaker 1: There's the usual crowd that comes in for Kelly summertime

1574
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,200

1575
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: many more at that party last night. Who are you

1576
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: most surprised to see him? Most excited to see last night?

1577
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: One guy that shocked me that I've seen was Blueprint

1578
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: Urban Parker. Oh yeah, I hadn't seen him in a while.

1579
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: Seeing Daryl Irwin was a good good thing because Daryl

1580
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: he was here when I first got here as well.

1581
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: So there's been a few guys that I got to

1582
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: see that I had got to see. Marlin Briscoe, Hooks, Yeah,

1583
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Marlin Briscoe, some number of guys that I hadn't seen

1584
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: in a while. Repinion. I got to see Mark I

1585
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: hadn't seen work in a while. I had seen Keating,

1586
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: talked to Freddie all the time. So yeah, it's a

1587
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: pretty good time. Yeah, and what talk? How does it mean,

1588
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Daryl for you to have your friend's jersey retired in

1589
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: the stadium. I've asked Cornelius this, I asked Andre this.

1590
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: What's it mean to you? And can kind of put

1591
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: in perspective what it means for a Buffalo bill to

1592
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: have his jersey retired in this town and this stadium

1593
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: on a night like tonight. Wow, Wow, that's a mouthful,

1594
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: sevy Um. I think it's one of the greatest accomplishments

1595
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: of an athlete's career. What he's done. It's his statement

1596
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: as to how good he was and what he did

1597
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: and what do people thought of him. And there's no better,

1598
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:45,679
Speaker 1: no better award to win than having your jersey retired

1599
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and put up in the stadium with a blue circle

1600
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: around it. Yeah, yeah, that's a heck but no, that's

1601
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: a heck of a deal. Yeah. Hey, Daryl, fast forward,

1602
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: if you were playing tonight, what would your goal against

1603
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady be? How would you handle him tonight? Well?

1604
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I got my own philosophy of how to handle Tom Brady.

1605
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Unlike everybody else, I believe the way to beat Tom

1606
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Brady is make him move out of the pocket. Don't

1607
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: let him sit in the pocket, sit there and step

1608
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 1: up because he gets comfortable. And if he's comfortable stepping

1609
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: up and throwing the ball, he's gonna eat your live.

1610
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: But if you got to make him throw the ball

1611
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: on the run, you gotta put Tom Brady on the run.

1612
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: That's the only way I see to play him. It's

1613
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: not about getting because he used to try and now

1614
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not about getting sex. He's a like playing against

1615
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot of like playing against Dan Marino. He's

1616
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: got the ball out there really quickly. So the only

1617
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: way to get pressure on him was up the middle.

1618
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: So if you get get guys to pressure him up

1619
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: the middle, now he can't throw step into the throw.

1620
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,679
Speaker 1: He's got to back up and throw off his back foot,

1621
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: or slide to the right of slide to the left.

1622
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: He's got to move. He's can't just sit there. He's

1623
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: got to get off that spot. He's a lot like

1624
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,839
Speaker 1: Dan Marino. Neither one of those guys are fast or athletic.

1625
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're not kind of the running athlete quarterback.

1626
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: They're the guys that can stand there and make every

1627
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: throw and it doesn't matter how close you are to them.

1628
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: They can get rid of it before you get there.

1629
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: So you're you're right. I'm to get him to run,

1630
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: I think as a plus you got. And the other

1631
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: thing is they both have really good feet. Good quarterbacks

1632
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: usually have really good feet in the pocket, and they

1633
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 1: when they feel pressure that he can slide one way

1634
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: or the other. So that's the thing that I think

1635
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: makes Brady better than a lot of guys. Aaron Rodgers

1636
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: does it as well. Bills have a chance to night, Daryl,

1637
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: what do you think? I think so, I think you

1638
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: got a chance anytime you suit up. I'm just a

1639
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: eternal optimists. I think if you go out there and

1640
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: believe that you can hit the guy in the mouth

1641
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: and let him and stand there and hit him again

1642
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: and again, you got a chance. You just get sixty minutes.

1643
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Anybody is anybody's game for sixty minutes. Well, yeah, Daryl,

1644
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: it's wonderful to see some things haven't changed. No, that's

1645
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: not that's not gonna change about me and the playing

1646
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: a football game. I believe that's the only way to

1647
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: play it. You gotta be physical with guys up front.

1648
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: The guys up front. The past rush got to get

1649
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: to him today. That's the only thing I say. If

1650
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: they get a pass rush on Brady, I think that'll

1651
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: shut them down some because now they're gonna have they

1652
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: can't run the ball is easy because they don't have

1653
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:15,560
Speaker 1: both options. Now, Hey, Daryl, good strategy. Thank you for

1654
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: spending a few minutes with us. We'll see you here

1655
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: tonight at the game. Appreciate it all right, See you

1656

Speaker 1: guys later. Darrell Talley, the longtime great Buffalo Bill's linebacker

01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 1: was a reporter a cameraman. He broke the guy's leg.

1813
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,559

Speaker 1: like I want to say, late eighties, was a quarterback yep,

1817
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: And I think the Rams were undefeated Buffalo. I think

1818
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: was they they'll, they'll, they lost me one game, but

1819
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: they they broke their wind streak. You know, they had

1820
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: dead night. I was like, oh perfect. It was a

1821
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: Monday night game too. It was a first game I

1822
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: ever went to. Guys, will enjoy the game, bad weather,

1823

Speaker 1: but enjoy Where are yours tickets? Where do you guys sit?

1824
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: We're in a section three fifteen, so we're up there

1825
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: a little bit and they like it up there? I mean,

1826
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: does it does it have us ups and downs? Yeah?

1827
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 1: We sometimes we uh moved down lower to a hundred

1828
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: level or like club seats usually one game a year.

1829
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: But you like it because we have a bigger group

1830
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: so it's easier to get all those seats together. And

1831
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: the sight view was pretty good up there, so you

1832
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 1: can see everything, but obviously the hundred levels a little

1833
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 1: better sometimes. All right, Pete, Bob, thanks man. Could they

1848
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: do they all have tickets? I mean, is this a

1849
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: regular thing or is this just a community thing? To

1850
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: explain that to me, Well, this basically, you know, we

1851
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 1: bite our friends over to the tailgate. They come in,

1852

1853
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,640
Speaker 1: do it awful fun. That's good. So they kind of

1854
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: throw a little something in, you know, for the effort, right,

1855
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: so you know it's it's not on all on your

1856
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: own dime. No, no, no, they all kick in a

1857
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: little bit um, you know, twenty bucks or a case

1858
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: of beer or something and or soda or water. And

1859
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: then they just come and hang out. So you gotta

1860
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,160

Speaker 1: Thurm's getting his jersey retired. Give me you have a

1866
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: Thurman memory? Oh yeah, what's Thurman memory? When he came

1867
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: to our house and gave us our tickets? Oh, he

1868
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,439

1869
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 1: being his his house and they did like an interview

1870
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: and they moved the furniture around and stuff like that

1871
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: and uh and they asked the question, though, who's the

1872
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: greatest running back in Bill's history? And we was like

Speaker 1: I gotta admit, when I'm we were headed to the

1955
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 1: stadium to do the you know, the one o'clock game

1956
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: or the noon game in Kansas City, it was like, Wow,

1957
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: it's great to have it on. Yeah, it's great to

1958
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 1: have that to be able to watch it. Ey see,

1959
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: if there are a couple of interesting reports today, we

1960
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:55,600
Speaker 1: know where we are. The four o'clock tomorrow is the

1961
01:30:55,840 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: uh the NFL trade deadline, and there's this that comes

1962
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,480
Speaker 1: out over the last couple of minutes here Ian Rappaport

1963
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: rap sheet NFL Network. Free agent wide receiver to Terrell

1964
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: Pryor was spotted in the Buffalo airport, according to a source,

1965
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: on his way to visit with the Bills, a potential

1966
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: veteran acquisition. Josina Anderson ESPN Sheet tweets out, I'm told

1967
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver to Rrell Pryor flew into Buffalo last night.

1968
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 1: The Bills have offered prior a contract that is currently

1969
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: under consideration. Per a source, He's a free agent, so

1970
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 1: no trade involved here. He was with the Jets. Culture

1971
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:34,600
Speaker 1: fit Terrell Pryor, what do you think? It's probably not

1972
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 1: a perfect culture fit given his history and some of

1973
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:39,799
Speaker 1: the things that have been said about him by opponents

1974
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: and other guys. But he's a big guy. He's a big,

1975
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 1: physical receiver. He has struggled to have He's had good moments,

1976
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: and he's actually had pretty good seasons at least productive

1977
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 1: stretches in his career, if not a full season. But

1978
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,560
Speaker 1: he can't. He's not one of those guys that sticks anywhere.

1979
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. I think that's why question whether the

1980
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: culture fit would be real here in Buffalo. But it's

1981
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: the second half of a season where they're struggling to

1982
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: find any offensive performance or any offensive production. They want.

1983
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,679
Speaker 1: They want a healthy body, a guy who's the target's

1984
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 1: got some veteran skills. Maybe it would be a signing

1985
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 1: at the Wheals Field I they could make. That's interesting.

1986
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: That's if they've offered him a contract, they must have

1987
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 1: liked the workout or their meetings. With no confirmation yet,

1988
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Prior was released October twentieth by the New York Jets.

1989
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: Suffered a torn groin in Week six against Indianapolis, so

1990
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:39,720
Speaker 1: October twentieth was what a little bit more than a

1991
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: week away, a week and a half away. His estimated

1992
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:44,679
Speaker 1: recovery time at the time was said to be two weeks,

1993
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 1: So again, we're a week and a half away from

1994
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: the torn groin. The Jets were said to consider bring

1995
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: him back Taurell Prior after he recovered. They've had a

1996
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 1: number of injury issues, including Quincy and Nunua, who suffered

1997
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain expected to keep him out three

1998
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: to four weeks. Bills have to play the Jets twice

1999
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: a yeah, in the remaining Is this just h Terrell

2000
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,840
Speaker 1: prior increasing his leverage with the Buffalo Bills? Is this

2001
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 1: really gonna happen? We don't know. We got the trade

2002
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,679
Speaker 1: deadline four pm tomorrow. I don't anticipate any big moves

2003
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 1: for the Bills. This would be kind of big if

2004
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: they could get to Terrell Pryor signed, and it might

2005
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 1: necessitate moving one of the current wide receivers off the

2006
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 1: off the current roster. Well, yell and Benjamin is the

2007
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 1: most savous one. I would think, well if he yea,

2008
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: if they're gonna trade him, But then again, you gotta

2009
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 1: get Terrell Pryor's gotta get up and running, right, You've

2010
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: got to get make sure first of all he's healthy

2011
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 1: enough to run and compete. Second of all, does you

2012
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: know where to be? You know I'll line up? Does

2013
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:41,599
Speaker 1: he know where to you know what route to run?

2014
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 1: All of that, and don't forget you got a quarterback

2015
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 1: that's three weeks into his stint here right, so um,

2016
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 1: there you go, Derek Mede a new receiver right right right.

2017
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 1: You just met these guys now here, I mean sooner

2018
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,920
Speaker 1: or later. Sooner or later, and they you know, either

2019
01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 1: you hit rock bottom or you gotta stop digging. Yeah,

2020
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 1: you know right, you're right, I mean, and I get it.

2021
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that there's a point on the

2022
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 1: horizon that the Bills are headed towards. That has to

2023
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 1: do with this next offseason, a cap room and draft picks,

2024
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 1: and and they've got their quarterback in the future, they're

2025
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: trying to get him back on the field. They're they're

2026
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 1: building towards something they started by building a really good

2027
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 1: defense that they already got. So some of this does

2028
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 1: have to do with what's down the road. But you know,

2029
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: they're all Monday night football tonight and they got another

2030
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 1: eight games after this. You know, that's uh, it's something

2031
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 1: to think about it. I think that's what you're looking

2032
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 1: at with Terrell priyor. I'm not looking for anything involving

2033
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. That's pretty much. And I didn't think there

2034
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 1: as much there anyway, But over the weekend it pretty

2035
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 1: much was reported that the Bills are not going to

2036
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: deal away Lashawn McCoy again four pm tomorrow, So we

2037

2038
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, if something happens, we'll both be surprised. All right,

2039

Speaker 1: I feel not so much a time warp with the

2104
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 1: nineties team or the eighty eight you know, this ball

2105
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 1: club and Thurman, who were honoring tonight. But I just

2106
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 1: feel I feel like I'm kind of from here. And

2107
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: I know that's that's a corny thing to say, and

2108
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to say on the radio, but

2109
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 1: it's everyone is so nice and welcoming and and it's

2110
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 1: almost like a second generation and family to me now

2111
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: with what you guys on that team, kind of we're

2112
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: my entrade to this this area. And no, it's never tiring.

2113
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean to support Thurman and anything that goes on

2114
01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: with your team and the Bills, it's it's very comfortable,

2115
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: is the word I'm looking for you. Yeah, well, people

2116
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 1: people appreciate, particularly on a national level, like you were

2117
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: for so long it still are for so long that

2118
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: that tend to adopt their team and then adopt the

2119
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: city as well. Because Buffalo fans, when you like their team,

2120
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 1: you buy proxy. You have to like the town too,

2121
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 1: and I think you personified that throughout your the last

2122
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: part of your career. You've you've been to Buffalo a

2123
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: bunch of time. In fact, they've got a wooden statue

2124
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: still outside the Big three of you. But what what

2125
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: does it mean to you as a broadcaster come in

2126
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: and be asked to em see these things like Bruce's

2127
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: jersey retirement and Thurman's jersey retirement, be a part of

2128
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame festivities for the guys on that team.

2129
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm feel very lucky. You know, a sportscaster isn't the

2130
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 1: main part of the job. Is not necessary. You have

2131
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 1: to know who you're covering, what you're covering, and the

2132
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: individuals put it that way, but and the individual's family

2133
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 1: as life builds on, et cetera. But you're not trying

2134
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 1: to make yourself part of anything that you shouldn't be.

2135
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: And I didn't play on that team, but that team

2136
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: and then therefore the city, to your point, has welcomed

2137
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,720
Speaker 1: me as if I did. And again that was not

2138
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: my purpose to say, hey, I'm going to be a Buffalo.

2139
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: You know the Bills are doing and I'm going to

2140
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,960
Speaker 1: pick them. The blah blah. We talked about it many times,

2141
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: but I feel as if a lot of the team

2142
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: feels I was part of it, and I wasn't trying

2143
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 1: to um, yeah, I used the word jock snip. It

2144
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: happened organically. Sevy. You were there, I mean you you

2145
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 1: saw it. I mean it was just natural, and a

2146
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: lot of it was I wasn't here on Sundays. Obviously,

2147
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: we got into studio every Sunday, so other than come

2148
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 1: up to do pieces before the season, before the playoffs

2149
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 1: or certainly was Super Bowl, there was a team the

2150
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 1: whole week, and I wasn't hear on a Sunday. So

2151
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: it was as if the team and the fans said

2152
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: their thing at one o'clock, let's say, and then Tommy

2153
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:13,799
Speaker 1: and I and then it's all a primetime at seven

2154
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 1: thirty had our thing, and this was our way of saying, hey,

2155
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: look at what the build were doing with this game. Great.

2156
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: It was as if we enjoyed the three hours from

2157
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: our perch in Connecticut. Most of the time from one

2158
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 1: to four, I mean, just to make it easy, and

2159
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 1: then from seven thirty to eight thirty we gave it,

2160
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 1: we gave it back. It was a nice Even though

2161
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:39,719
Speaker 1: we weren't together physically, it was like you together mentally.

2162
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: Does that make sense of my overt speaking, it makes sense.

2163
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 1: We're with Chris Berman from ESPN. Chris, I in a

2164
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: moment last night. You were at that party. Steve was

2165
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: working with CBS late yesterday. But it occurred to me,

2166
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: and I've thought this before, but it kind of reaffirmed

2167
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: yesterday to see all that group there at that party

2168
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 1: last night, many of them, most of them still here

2169
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:02,639
Speaker 1: for the ceremony tonight, the number retirement, the Jersey retirement ceremony. There.

2170
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 1: It seems to me to be a unique bond among

2171
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: players of that era here in Buffalo. Look, you've been

2172
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 1: around the league. You could probably tell us if that

2173
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: goes on at other places, But I don't know, I've

2174
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 1: never seen it. There were guys there last night who

2175
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 1: I personally haven't seen in twenty some years, and it

2176
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,759
Speaker 1: was like I just saw him yesterday. There's a unique

2177
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 1: thing going on here, I think with this build an

2178
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: alumni group. Am I right about that? Well? Yeah, and

2179
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 1: it's more than that team, and so what I was

2180
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,160
Speaker 1: hit by last night to make it a little bit

2181
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 1: different than Murph. And it was good to seeing you

2182
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:35,640
Speaker 1: and your wife there last night and everybody. Okay, So

2183
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: I talked to players, obviously, all the guys that you

2184
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: run into from Steve's teams. Yeah, and Marv was there,

2185
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: which is by the way, still sharp as any yea

2186
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 1: and cracking a joke. I mean it's it's like kind

2187
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:55,799
Speaker 1: of stood still and we all should be so fortunate

2188
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: to have him and be you know that he's still

2189
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 1: is sharper se ever, I mean he's sharper than any

2190
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: of us will ever be. Right. So, um, but Mary

2191
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Wilson was there. I mean we could go on. Um.

2192
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 1: But I had conversations with guys who played in the

2193
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,560
Speaker 1: two thousands who I met, and then you had to

2194
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: reintroduce themselves because you know they're all coming from left

2195
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 1: and White. I talked with Jerry Butler and Sherman White

2196
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: last night. I talked with Marlon Briscoe last night. Okay,

2197
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: now these are bills from way Marl Briscoe. I'm I

2198
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: saw him like quarterback. I went to one of them.

2199
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm trying to say is, yeah,

2200
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:43,640
Speaker 1: I was struck by this team, Steeds team and that

2201
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: great team that will never be equaled the feet of

2202
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: what they did in the tightness. And I said that

2203
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,839
Speaker 1: last night in my remarks, although I wish the speakers

2204
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: in the back would have worked audio, audio damage radio,

2205
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, and um, but I was but that team

2206
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: has galvanized all the alumni. Now you guys live it.

2207
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:08,600
Speaker 1: But that's what hit me last night really for the

2208
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 1: first time that there were several from the truck knock

2209
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: Y let alone, Marlin Briscoe, who I had met, um

2210
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,880
Speaker 1: Warren Moone had the Black Quarterbacks pack when he went

2211
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame, and I met Marlin at

2212
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 1: that time and we talked about that, and then here

2213
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: were players. Eric Wood was there, of course, you know

2214
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: the recent and Carl William's wife who was there, and

2215
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:38,640
Speaker 1: so it spanned the entirety of the Buffalo Bills. You're right,

2216
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 1: I was actually really blown away by that last night.

2217
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Chris Keating, who played here in

2218
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: the late seventies early eighties, Freddie Smerless, who was mostly

2219
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 1: a nineteen eighties player here, there was You're right, there

2220
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 1: was several generations deep last night. It was pretty amazing, Steve.

2221
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 1: I feel bad Chris, because Steve wasn't there. I came

2222
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: in here today and Steve, you missed the great party

2223
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: of all time last night. I'm sorry, Steep. Yeah, uh yeah,

2224
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:11,639
Speaker 1: the party is probably better without me. But okay, boomer talk,

2225
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 1: And I wanted to ask you about about this specifically. Um,

2226
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of trapesing back into the broadcast thing.

2227
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 1: Are you happy about that? I mean, obviously you wouldn't

2228
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:24,600
Speaker 1: do it if you didn't want to. But do you

2229
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: miss being a part of the game day hubbub that

2230
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 1: is the NFL? And and do you miss being on

2231
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: every week? Do you miss you know, because listen, I

2232
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: know what it's like too. And when you were in

2233
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 1: your heyday in ESPN, there's a team atmosphere there too.

2234
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: Do you miss that? Well? Yeah, absolutely, and you you

2235
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: relate to it. Um, It wasn't um quite the same

2236
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 1: as football as in practice and showering and team meals.

2237
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: But where you daring cloth? Right? I missed my teammates,

2238
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 1: I miss I missed the feeling of those Sundays. Just

2239
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 1: just to boil it down to that, it's not like

2240
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 1: I soured on the job or football where the people

2241
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 1: I work with, or the network that I was fortunate

2242
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 1: enough to be at the start of, and or um.

2243
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, none of it got old. But I did

2244
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 1: it for almost forty years, and so I like getting

2245
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: back into it. Some I miss all of it, but

2246
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't miss it to the point of, oh my goodness,

2247
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: what did we do. I'm only sixty three. I could

2248
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: still do this. I mean, I went to the Ryder

2249
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: Cup on my own. I'm not saying like I'd rather

2250
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 1: do that than a lot of There's been a lot

2251
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: of Sundays when night at things to do. I went

2252
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:50,639
Speaker 1: with my daughter to that Sunday night game the Chiefs,

2253
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,520
Speaker 1: A very cool for the Andy Reid at the Patriots,

2254
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, and which is a you know, two hour

2255
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: drive for my I did other things, and I'm doing

2256
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 1: other things. So what I'm trying to say is I

2257
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:06,639
Speaker 1: miss it. I never showered on it, but by getting

2258
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 1: back in a little bit, I went in last Sunday

2259
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: and the Highlights at night a little bit of it

2260
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:16,680
Speaker 1: and hung with the gang and sat with Morden, made

2261
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 1: the same stupid jokes that we always made, and that

2262
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: was that was a great feeling. But and I don't

2263
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 1: mean to pooh pool this, but let me say it

2264
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: in the right way, like how much do we like

2265
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:30,519
Speaker 1: eating chocolate ice creams? We love chocolate ice creas. You

2266
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 1: can't eat it all the time. So and that sounds

2267
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 1: like I'm at but I'm done with it. I'm not

2268
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:39,639
Speaker 1: done with it. It's a long answer, but I'm blessed

2269
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 1: to have been able to do it for that long

2270
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:43,800
Speaker 1: with that many great people. And let's not forget the

2271
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:47,680
Speaker 1: viewers or the fans, if you will, whom there's the

2272
01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 1: reason that we do it. So I'm stopped all the time.

2273
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 1: But it's good to see you back un or we

2274
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: miss you, or this kind of stuff. It makes you

2275
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 1: feel like, I don't want to say made a difference

2276
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 1: in people's lives with me, but we when Sundays and

2277
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: Mondays came that maybe people enjoyed hanging with us, and

2278
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 1: I enjoyed hanging with them. But it's a long answer,

2279
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 1: but I'm really at peace and at ease with where

2280
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm at. But I like getting back into a little

2281
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 1: more than it was last year, because that sounds like

2282
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 1: I'm a politician, but I'm I'm not trying to be.

2283
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:23,960
Speaker 1: I know, I'll like your day is coming up. We're

2284
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 1: talking with Chris Burman here on One Bill's Live with

2285
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker, and we had this conversation

2286
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 1: Boomer a little earlier in the show about stuff going

2287
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:35,760
Speaker 1: on outside of football. What's been the most surprising thing

2288
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:38,560
Speaker 1: you've become a fan of since you're not doing this

2289
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 1: twenty four seven like you did just a few years ago,

2290
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 1: what's the most surprising thing about your life that you've

2291
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: started to get into that may maybe surprise us. Well,

2292
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:50,560
Speaker 1: now that's a really good question. I have some some

2293
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 1: things I like to do as things move forward. And again,

2294
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, we had a personal joel last year. We

2295
01:48:57,880 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: lost my wife. I mean that was the left hand turn.

2296
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 1: But everybody, I don't want to say buck and everyone

2297
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 1: has things in their lives that I don't mean to

2298
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: make it more important, but that wasn't on the plan.

2299
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: So last year was kind of a so as far

2300
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: as professionally or what are you gonna do? You know,

2301
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 1: that was a that was a whole different thing. So

2302
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:18,720
Speaker 1: it's almost like this is year one, if that makes

2303
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: sense to you. Um it, some of it is, you know,

2304
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:27,640
Speaker 1: at sixty three, gs, can you can you get a

2305
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: little better shape? Can you do some trips that you

2306
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:33,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done? Can you? Was fortunate enough to watch

2307
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: the Bills and I came on the radio that week

2308
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: the Bill's playoff game from out you know, I mean

2309
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: that was where I was. And again it sounds like, oh,

2310
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:45,640
Speaker 1: you're trying to live it. Look, I mean I'd like

2311
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: to relearn the piano. I haven't done that yet. I

2312
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 1: was good at once. Um, so there are things. Hey, look,

2313
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 1: we can't all count on being the sharpest marblelibe at

2314
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 1: ninety three, right if Marvel ninety three is that's the number? Yeah,

2315
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 1: it is, which is hard to believe in the guys

2316
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 1: and um, but we would like to count on being

2317
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: that sharp till eight. Let's just say. Right, So if

2318
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm sixty three, what is it that I would like

2319
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 1: to be sharp at? Doing nothing yet? Because you know

2320
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:22,440
Speaker 1: what took a took a left hand turn and I'm

2321
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:26,680
Speaker 1: still kind of decided Okay, so now what But it's, um,

2322
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm looking for what's the next great

2323
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: thing so that by sixty five or sixty seven I'm

2324
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 1: doing that. Maybe there's something next year in the hundred

2325
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 1: seasons the NFL that I do for a one year

2326
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 1: basis football wise, you know what I mean, get back

2327
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 1: and do. I don't know what that is. It's delivered

2328
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 1: season next year esp as fortieth anniversary. I maybe there's

2329
01:50:55,720 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: something there to kind of have fun, but gift I

2330
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, but it's it's not like I'm punst

2331
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:07,600
Speaker 1: tol on sailing and looking for the time to use

2332
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, I mean, I'm not. I'm it's okay,

2333
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested in a lot of things that there's

2334
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 1: not one holy grill that I'm I'm trying to grasp. Well,

2335
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm still physically and mentally able. Does that make sense?

2336
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: But it is as much as I love the grind,

2337
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:30,360
Speaker 1: and it is a grind, I don't mean to complain

2338
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,560
Speaker 1: like a in a factory or a coal mine. I

2339
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 1: loved it and you guys are still living it. Yeah,

2340
01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: but you love it. People love and respect it. You

2341
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:42,720
Speaker 1: love it. Come over the airways, with it, both of you.

2342
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:47,719
Speaker 1: But I don't miss the crime, Chris, actually that they've

2343
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: got your working tonight though. Right, you're gonna do a

2344
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: little Monday night countdown with the ESPN. Yeah, well, hell,

2345
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm what the heck? And I I mean,

2346
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 1: might as well bring thermon on. I mean, I think

2347
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 1: they're honoring him tonight, right, Yeah, I think they are. Yes,

2348
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 1: you're right of chicks. And I think they have a

2349
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 1: wagon out there in the parking lot. I don't know

2350
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be circling, but I uh, and I'm

2351
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,560
Speaker 1: going to ask all the fans. Look, we don't know

2352
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 1: what the halftime score it's going to be. I mean,

2353
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: we hope it's close, as the Bills are ahead or whatever.

2354
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,599
Speaker 1: And here's a fumbled kick and it's I mean, who knows, right,

2355
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: it's football, as we're saying, Ranks Chevy that twil they

2356
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: don't make the ball round round we can predict so um,

2357
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: but whatever it is, my job is to rev everybody

2358
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:40,240
Speaker 1: up for Thurman. So anyone that's at the games, and

2359
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 1: I whatever the score is, jump on board the wagon

2360
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 1: because we're going to try to circle the darn thing.

2361
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, all right, so Swami, give us your

2362
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 1: prediction for the game. Oh gee, now we were having

2363
01:52:55,400 --> 01:53:01,519
Speaker 1: such fun. That's right, you know. I think the Bills

2364
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:06,080
Speaker 1: defense plays. Look if you are a really good unit,

2365
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:09,759
Speaker 1: and I don't all there. Look they're not the Steve Curtains,

2366
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 1: but they're certainly very good defensively or Canyon. And if

2367
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,559
Speaker 1: that's a unit day that you know better than me, Steve,

2368
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,960
Speaker 1: that unit I think really rhymes to the accage and

2369
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 1: I understand its sound Brady and Ron who always seems

2370
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: to play well. There's sixty thousand Gronkovskis in the crowd,

2371
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 1: by the way, or just twenty thousand, but he always

2372
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: seems to play well here. And I know it's a

2373
01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: holy grail. And what one in the last fourteen or

2374
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 1: fifteen years of the stadium as the Bills of Woods.

2375
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: I think it's much closer than expected to say the

2376
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna win tonight. I don't know. I think

2377
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: the score is um is. I think they keep the

2378
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:00,920
Speaker 1: Patriots in the twenties, like maybe in the twenty four range,

2379
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:04,680
Speaker 1: which gives Buffalo a chance to win the game or

2380
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: be in the game. So maybe in the twenty four

2381
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:13,760
Speaker 1: seventeen twenty three seventeen range. There's maybe the Bills no winner,

2382
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry if I'm not predicting that they do.

2383
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 1: But am I Am I crazy to pick a game

2384
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,759
Speaker 1: within a touchdown or not? I don't think you're crazy.

2385
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:23,400
Speaker 1: I think that's not what you could happen. You're right.

2386
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: They will lean on their defense and hopefully their defense

2387
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,719
Speaker 1: can make some plays that will keep that will steal

2388
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 1: some opportunities from the Patriots, and that's the plan I think,

2389
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: like it always has been. Chris. Thanks for this. We

2390
01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing the halftime. We look forward to

2391
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 1: seeing on ESPN today and even into the future. Thanks

2395
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 1: that's right. Always a pleasure to be with you. It's

2396
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 1: a skill to be in Buffalo. I'm honored to be

2397
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 1: asked to help our good friend Thurman Thomas. I've had

2398

Speaker 1: Are we gonna do? There was something we wanted to

2417
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 1: do before then. Let me check the rundown. You know

2418
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: what I want to ask you. I'm sorry, Jay Harris

2419
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,080
Speaker 1: is interrupted. It's too late. Now, Jay, you're done the

2420
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: brown talk about Okay, here we go. They have hired

2421
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 1: an interim head coach. Greg Williams gets another shot. He

2422
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:28,880
Speaker 1: won the cage match with Todd Haley. Haley's fired. Greg

2423
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:31,400
Speaker 1: Williams is the head coach. They've named a new offensive coordinator,

2424
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:33,920
Speaker 1: former Bill's head coach Greg Williams. He was here for

2425
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:36,040
Speaker 1: three years two thousand and one, two thousand and two,

2426
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Greg Williams is a new head

2427
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:41,840
Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Browns. Look, I've had I like

2428
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, and he was not easy to get along

2429
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: with Steve, but I got along with him. He was

2430
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 1: he was He was a good guy here. He was

2431
01:56:48,360 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: very direct and forceful. Um. He took care of us

2432
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:53,240
Speaker 1: in the media. I did not work for the Bills

2433
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: at the time he was here, but he tried to be,

2434
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, attentive to what the media needed back then. Um.

2435
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: And I think he's pretty coach. I also think as

2436
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: much as I like Greg, I also think that he

2437
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 1: uh kind of gets in his own way sometimes. You know,

2438
01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 1: he took that suspension when he was with the Saints

2439
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 1: right for the bounty gate. I've talked to him about that.

2440
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 1: Since then, he maintains his innocence. But it didn't matter.

2441
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 1: He was still out for what more than a year? Right, Yeah,

2442
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 1: the game. But and because of that, I wish him well.

2443
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 1: And look, he's in a bad situation taking over the

2444
01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 1: Browns in this situation, but because it's a comeback from

2445
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:31,200
Speaker 1: bounty gate, I wish him well. I hope he succeeds. Yeah,

2446
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna handle his offense because Todd

2447
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:37,200
Speaker 1: Haley was fired, Hugh Jackson was fired. And those are

2448
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 1: the only two guys that is named I've even known

2449
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 1: has been associated with the Browns. You got Baker Mayfield's

2450
01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 1: going to try and you know, trying to win games

2451
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 1: with the rookie quarterback with Tyrod Taylor backing him up. Certainly,

2452
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 1: Greg Williams isn't going to be called an offense and

2453
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:52,600
Speaker 1: play Mary Kate Cabot, who does a great job of

2454
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 1: covering the Browns, says Greg Williams is the Browns interroom coach,

2455
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: and Freddie Kitchens, the Browns running back coach, has been

2456
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:02,760
Speaker 1: promoted to offense coordinator. They've got a news conference. They

2457
01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 1: just told the players that about two o'clock and a

2458
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 1: news conference coming up later. So Freddie Kitchens. Don't know

2459
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 1: the name, don't can't tell you anything about it, but

2460
01:58:10,440 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 1: he was a running backs coach at Cleveland. He's the

2461
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 1: new I'll say this Greg Williams. He's been around the

2462
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 1: NFL a long time. He is not a shrinking vial.

2463
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: He's a very strong personality. And he didn't invent football,

2464
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 1: but he perfected it kind of, you know. I mean,

2465
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 1: he's he's he'll laugh, you know when you talk to

2466
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: him about it. But I know he would not. I'm

2467
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm saying it is my opinion that

2468
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 1: he would not have accepted the Brown's head coaching job

2469
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 1: as an interim without the opportunity to get the real

2470
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: job and get the interim name removed from it at

2471
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: the end of the season. If certain either the feel

2472
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 1: of the team or the look of the team, or

2473
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: if certain things happen with this team for the rest

2474
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: of the way and he does some like win some games,

2475
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: that he gets the job, he would not. I don't

2476
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 1: think he accept that job as he him unless you

2477
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:02,200
Speaker 1: get a chance to say, hey, I'm gonna be the

2478
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,160
Speaker 1: guy after the season. I wonder how different he will

2479
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 1: be from his three year tenure in Buffalo. Now his

2480
01:59:07,680 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 1: second shot as a head coach, right, it is a

2481
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:12,320
Speaker 1: second shot. You got to learn some things, and that right,

2482
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 1: he learned some things in his I mean, this is

2483
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 1: the guy that was suspended from the league for a

2484
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: year because of bounty gate, uh and led to the

2485
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: suspension of Sean Payton and the vet Joe Vita. All

2486
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 1: those guys were suspended for a year over bounty gate

2487
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 1: and over the way they handled their squads. So to

2488
01:59:34,720 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 1: have him come in and get the h Ingram head

2489
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: coach job of the Browns after Hugh Jackson was fired

2490
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 1: is pretty surprising when when you take the long view

2491
01:59:43,560 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 1: of things. I hope Greg sticks around long enough in Cleveland. Again,

2492
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a very difficult um assignment

2493
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:51,880
Speaker 1: there to be the head coach. But I hope he

2494
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: sticks around long enough to reap the benefits of what

2495
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 1: they're going through with Baker Mayfield right this year, right,

2496
01:59:57,040 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 1: I hope he's there to be the successful go to

2497
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 1: a bigger people saying that about Hugh Jackson too, hoping

2498
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 1: he's stuck around the ball. And now have you got

2499
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:09,600
Speaker 1: all the get the gifts surrounding. You know, Hugh Jackson

2500
02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:13,640
Speaker 1: getting fired in Cleveland or unprecedented. You know, people are

2501
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:15,480
Speaker 1: like saying about time. You know, they you know, they

2502
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:19,200
Speaker 1: were high time. They thought the guy was what three

2503
02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 1: and what three and thirty one? Yeah? Three and thirty one?

2504
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Um? Three and thirty three, thirty

2505
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:31,520
Speaker 1: six and one, three thirty six and one. I mean

2506
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:34,880
Speaker 1: that's you know, people were really ready for Hugh Jackson

2507
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, right, I guess. I mean I get that.

2508
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I get you always have those fringe element elements in

2509
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:43,840
Speaker 1: your fan base where you know, every day somebody wants

2510
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 1: this guy fired, and every day somebody thinks that he

2511
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:50,920
Speaker 1: should get a lifetime contract. So uh but man, oh man,

2512
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 1: people in Cleveland, you can imagine that this is the

2513
02:00:54,720 --> 02:01:01,560
Speaker 1: fourth firing that Jimmy Haslem has performed in his ten

2514
02:01:01,640 --> 02:01:06,120
Speaker 1: year as ownership that began in twenty fourteen. Well, all right,

Speaker 1: we got football here tonight. We got Monday night football.

Speaker 1: be listening to I'll be watching the game. I just

2537
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,480
Speaker 1: hope Dabol comes up with a good game plan tonight.

2538
02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I gotta feel and he's gonna do something that's going

2539
02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:07,680
Speaker 1: to really make a big difference. Then what do you

2540
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:10,440
Speaker 1: guys think, well, yeah, I hope so too. They need

2541
02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:12,400
Speaker 1: production out of those guys, And no matter what game

2542
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:15,200
Speaker 1: plan Brian Dabole throws out there and what he introduced

2543
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 1: to the team last Wednesday, I guess it might have

2544
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 1: been they need receivers to make plays, they need offensive

2545
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,720
Speaker 1: linemen to hold blocks, they need running backs to run,

2546
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and they need Derek Anderson to throw it. Well. I mean,

2547
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I get game planning, that's important, but I think the

2548
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Bill's real issues on offense stive have been player related,

2549
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:35,120
Speaker 1: performance related, just production related among the players. Execution related, Yeah,

2550
02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't. They haven't. You know, there's times

2551
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:40,080
Speaker 1: when you know they haven't been able to even line

2552
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: up right. Certainly, you'd like to think that Brian Dabo

2553
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:45,920
Speaker 1: would have an inkling as to what he could expect

2554
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 1: from the Patriots, at least the philosophy behind what to

2555
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 1: expect from the Patriots that may give them an edge.

2556
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Don't know if that's the case or whether the players

2557
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:55,640
Speaker 1: will be able to manifest it on the field. That's

2558
02:02:55,680 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: been an issue. The offensive side of the team for

2559
02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the Bills has been all about I think you're right, Murph,

2560
02:03:02,040 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 1: it's been performance, player performance, you've got to have guys

2561
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 1: who do what they're told to do, do what they're

2562
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: coached to do on a more consistent basis at a

2563
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 1: higher level. On the defensive side, they can't ride the

2564
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 1: roller coaster anymore. They were good, they were horrible first

2565
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:19,680
Speaker 1: two weeks, then they were elite for three weeks, and

2566
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:22,400
Speaker 1: now they've been Now they stunk for a week, So

2567
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're right in this roller coaster of playing

2568
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 1: great and then not playing good at all. It would

2569
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 1: be nice if they could put a consistent, consistently great

2570
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 1: game out there, get back on that track, if they

2571
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 1: could defensively, but it's been a roller coaster defensively for

2572
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 1: this team. So there's a lot of stuff going on.

2573
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 1: But you're right, the coaching staff had its work cutout

2574
02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: for him. It's a team they should be very familiar with.

2575
02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:46,920
Speaker 1: They've got some tape to go back to and look at.

2576
02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 1: They should be able to handle. Giving Derek Anderson more

2577
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:55,240
Speaker 1: offense to use, utilize, a bigger, wider range of playbooks,

2578
02:03:55,480 --> 02:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and a more specific game plan Taylor to their guys.

2579
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:00,200
Speaker 1: We'll see if all that takes place, But there's no out.

2580
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: This coaching staff has been working overtime getting ready for

2581
02:04:04,200 --> 02:04:05,560
Speaker 1: this game. They had an extra day to do it

2582
02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:07,840
Speaker 1: because it's a Monday night. But you know, so did

2583
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Here's Carol and Pennsylvania. Hello, Carol. Oh, hang on, Carol, Carol, Carol,

2584
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: are you there, Carrol High You're from Pennsylvania to see

2585
02:04:18,600 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 1: the game tonight. We're in Pennsylvania, Carol, Mansfield. Oh, yeah,

2586
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I know where that is? State Teachers College there. Oh. Um.

2587
02:04:26,520 --> 02:04:28,920
Speaker 1: I listened to you every morning on my commute from

2588
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Mansfield down Es Central, PA and back up. Um. But

2589
02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm on my way up because I went to Hamburg

2590
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: High School and while I was going to school there,

2591
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:43,120
Speaker 1: my first job I ever had was cleaning rich Stadium

2592
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 1: after the football games and the concert. Oh my gosh,

2593
02:04:48,240 --> 02:04:50,640
Speaker 1: I got a ride of one time, and I was

2594
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 1: on the front page of the of the newspaper, the

2595
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo News sports page in the helmet, remember when they

2596
02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:03,000
Speaker 1: had that. Yeah, sure, I was peeking out the ear hole.

2597
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: That's importantly. The reason I'm on my way up there

2598
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:11,280
Speaker 1: is because my sister is an ex Buffalo Bills cheerleader

2599
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:14,280
Speaker 1: from the late seventies of the first cheerleaders that they had,

2600
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,480
Speaker 1: and it's her birthday. So I want to shout out

2601
02:05:17,560 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 1: to Kim Collins, ex Buffalo Bills cheerleader. She's going with

2602
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:23,840
Speaker 1: me to the game, and I'm so excited to see

2603
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Thurman and everyone in the atmosphere. It's going to be awesome, Carol,

2604
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:30,000

2608
02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: how you doing, guys? Great? I wanted to know, Murph,

2609
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: if you knew that new Era stadium was built. Home ready.

2610
02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:50,680
Speaker 1: My friend of mine was concrete truck driver back when

2611
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 1: they were constructing the place, and they use real expensive

2612
02:05:55,680 --> 02:06:00,240
Speaker 1: concrete to put all of the columns up. And to

2613
02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:02,320
Speaker 1: an engineer while he was waiting in line, and the

2614
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 1: engineer said, mister Wilson wanted to make them column strong

2615
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: enough so later on he could put a dome on it.

2616
02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I've never heard that before. I've never heard that either.

2617
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:15,320
Speaker 1: I it's not you can you know. I'll give you

2618
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:18,800
Speaker 1: the guy who's number, the concrete driver's number. He's okay,

2619
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't need a dome. On my house. Thanks, Ron,

2620
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm good. Thanks all right? NFL NFL news from Uh, Yeah,

2621
02:06:29,160 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I believe Yeah, I guess, I know. I don't believe you.

2622
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's tr I've never heard that before,

2623
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:36,680
Speaker 1: have you. I think, think of the stadium. You can't

2624
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: put a roof on that, it's too big. I'll give

2625
02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:44,160
Speaker 1: you the guy's number if you want, no need for that, Ron,

2626
02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:47,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. From Tampa comes word. Dirk Cutter, the

2627
02:06:47,800 --> 02:06:50,440
Speaker 1: coach of the Bucks, has announced Ryan Fitzpatrick will start

2628
02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:53,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Jamis Winston heads to the bench. I would

2629
02:06:53,920 --> 02:06:55,840
Speaker 1: think this is the beginning of the end for former

2630
02:06:55,880 --> 02:06:58,840
Speaker 1: first round draft pick Jamis Winston, don't you think, see absolutely? Yeah,

2631
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:02,640
Speaker 1: he's four interceptions. Yeah, he's thrown nine interceptions or fourteen

2632
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 1: interceptions in eight games. And yeah, that's the end of it.

2633
02:07:06,280 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 1: Plus the suspension this year is starting the year on suspension.

2634
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 1: It's one thing after another. And Ryan Fitzpatrick and it's interesting,

2635
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:15,760
Speaker 1: a gut for a guy who has won and lost

2636
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:20,040
Speaker 1: more quarterbacking jobs than yeah, yeah, than than anybody in

2637
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 1: the history of the league. He won another. He won

2638
02:07:22,480 --> 02:07:25,080
Speaker 1: it back by default. And we'll see how the the

2639
02:07:27,320 --> 02:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers finish out the season of Fitzpatrick. He

2640
02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 1: gave them a chance to win after they were eighteen

2641
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:35,400
Speaker 1: points down in that game. And that you know that,

2642
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:38,400
Speaker 1: you gotta know that's the play that people are watching

2643
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:42,280
Speaker 1: on MSG. Is Fitzpatrick on a fourth down going throwing

2644
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:44,560
Speaker 1: it in for a touchdown to give him a chance

2645
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:47,320
Speaker 1: to tie it up at thirty four or maybe that

2646
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: was the fourth down, or maybe it's a two point play.

2647
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 1: He's Ryan Fitzpatrick is living the life O'Riley. I mean,

2648
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the guy is unbelievable. And Jamis Winston throwing fourteen picks

2649
02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:00,200
Speaker 1: in eight games, is has sent to the bench for

2650
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:02,240
Speaker 1: good reason. Here's NFL True and False, brought to you

2651
02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists. In Cheese Time, Montgomery

2652
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Packer's running back return man should have taken the touchback. Duh.

2653
02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: True he fumbled he was told to take a touchback.

2654
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: Of course, that's true. He should have taken the touchback.

2655
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:20,760
Speaker 1: The game was close. Um, you know they had a

2656
02:08:20,840 --> 02:08:22,240
Speaker 1: chance to get the ball put the ball back. In

2657
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers game with a minute plus something, it's like

2658
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 1: a minute forty nine to go in their minute twenty

2659
02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 1: nine to go in the game, No. Two oh five.

2660
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:32,640
Speaker 1: They weren't even at the two minute warning. His return

2661
02:08:32,760 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 1: took the ball down past the two minute warning, fumbled

2662
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:41,040
Speaker 1: it away, game over, and that was that took the Packers'

2663
02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:44,360
Speaker 1: chances away to win that game. So yeah, in retrospect,

2664
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:47,440
Speaker 1: there's absolutely no doubt he should have taken a knee.

2665
02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:49,560
Speaker 1: He was supposed to. He was told to his coach too,

2666
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,480
Speaker 1: and he's trying to make a play, trying to be

2667
02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a hero and had got him NFL tru or false

2668
02:08:55,680 --> 02:08:59,800
Speaker 1: part too. Michael Dixon, Seattle's punter the Aussie sweep tops

2669
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:01,840
Speaker 1: the highlights of Week eight. Talk about this, Steve I

2670
02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't really kick this one. So here's the here's the

2671
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The Seahawks are up twenty eight to

2672
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 1: fourteen in Detroit. They're gonna take a safety to get

2673
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the fuel position changed for him. Their Australian punt or

2674
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:16,680
Speaker 1: undrafted player is in there. He's gonna take a safety

2675
02:09:16,720 --> 02:09:18,200
Speaker 1: in the back of the ends when he runs out

2676
02:09:18,240 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: to his right and the Detroit Lions don't guard the corner.

2677
02:09:22,480 --> 02:09:25,080
Speaker 1: It's a it's the ball was snapped on the three.

2678
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:28,160
Speaker 1: It was a fourth and eight, but he had to

2679
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:30,200
Speaker 1: get to the eleven yard line. He's run and run,

2680
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,240
Speaker 1: he's got a blocker. He just turns the corner and

2681
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 1: tries to get the first down and does it. Ice

2682
02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:38,640
Speaker 1: is the game. It's over now, Not that it was.

2683
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:40,560
Speaker 1: It was a two point It was a two touchdown

2684
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:44,040
Speaker 1: difference with not that much time left. But man, oh man,

2685
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:45,760
Speaker 1: the guy turns the corner. Ice is the game. They

2686
02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:48,400
Speaker 1: kneel down, it's over, game over on a on a

2687
02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,240
Speaker 1: what should have been a safety, and if he doesn't

2688
02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:53,760
Speaker 1: make it, you know, it's first in goal for the

2689
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Yeah, that's pretty much a highlight for me.

2690
02:09:56,760 --> 02:10:00,480
Speaker 1: I love that. That's highlight of the week. Maybe the best,

2691
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:02,840
Speaker 1: but certainly one of the most, but certainly one of

2692
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: the most. It's one of the most interesting, right, It's interesting.

2693
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 1: It's maybe one of a kind highlight. I think the

2694
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 1: best highlight of the weekend's coming up tonight, Monday Night Football.

2695
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I really do. I think we're in for something special tonight.

2758
02:13:31,880 --> 02:13:33,680
Speaker 1: got a chance here if they play some defense and

2759
02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:37,080
Speaker 1: produce enough offense. Absolutely. But for me, I'm like the

2760
02:13:37,160 --> 02:13:39,760
Speaker 1: other old guys. I mean, I'm looking forward to Thermus celebrating.
