Like because you were only a 22 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: third or fourth year player, like a lot of the 23 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: bills are this time right right? Yeah, it's nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: you don't even wrap your mind around what it means 25 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: super Bowl and all that. That's all you're you're really 26 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: trying to think about this game, and the key is 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: playing as good as you can play in being alert 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: for things that are unexpected. You gotta go out there 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: with a mindset that you can just play your game, 30 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: do what you do, keep your keep your end ten 31 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: eye up to look for opportunities and also for you know, trickery, 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I was a special teams guy, 33 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: So you had to keep your mind around all that 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: and just know that you're good enough to win if 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: you play well, and just concentrate on playing free and 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: easy and doing your job. That game was on the 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: road in Cincinnati. You were a twelve and four football 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: team in the regular season. Did weather play a factor 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: in that game? It was actual memory, No, it was cool, 40 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: but no, it was not a factor in that game. 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I'll say this, there's there are still things I think 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: about from that game. Um, I regret not taking a 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: time out. At a certain point, they the Bengals were 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: in our end. And this is back in the old days. 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Nobody went forward on fourth down, but they were running 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: some hurry up at that point in time, right Sam Whishan. 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: They were gonna bring their punter out on the field. 48 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna punt the ball away. It's gonna 49 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: be a short punt because they're kind of on our 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: side of the fifty and they they they the punt 51 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: team breaks the huddle, they come out and I'm standing 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: there on the side. You're gonna rush the punt. I 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: look up and the right tackle on their punt team 54 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: is Anthony Munios. Oh he's not usually out there. He's 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame left tackle. Something's up. Yeah, And 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: I stood up and I said, I said, hey, hey, 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: look at that. Right then, I should have said time out, 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: because you know, they went forward and actually we had 59 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: it snapped off and Rob Rob Riddick hit the guy 60 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: in the backfield and just couldn't make the tackle. The 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: guy lunch for a half a yard or whatever and 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: got the funch down. I should have taken a time 63 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: I still think about that. I still think what did 64 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Bruce say when you got to the sidelines after that 65 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: afterwards he goes, Nah, I don't know. He goes, we 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: should we should have had it snapped off. We had it, 67 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: we had you know, we had it coached up, you know, 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: but you know, I still regret it. I still regret it. 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: Tough one, Um, tough one, for sure. It was the 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: twenty one ten was that the gym threw a pick 71 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: late that would have got us close to being back 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, and not that that was Jim fault. 73 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, you know, that's what took us 74 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: out of it and got us another quarterback. Yeah, it's 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: all Jim's full a forget me, forget me not taking 76 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: a time out an obvious situation. All right, enough of 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: the nostalgia. Time for our favorite part of the show, 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: The Numbers Game, all right, where we put Steve to 79 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: the test. This week's Numbers Game deals with the highest 80 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: scoring teams in football, Steve. Each of the four teams 81 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: in action this weekend Conference Championship weekend averaged at least 82 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: twenty nine points per game in the regular season, making 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: it the first time in the Super Bowl era that 84 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: all four teams in the conference championship games averaged at 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: least twenty nine points a game. Green Bay thirty one 86 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: point eight, Buffalo thirty one point three, Tampa thirty point eight, 87 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: three highest scoring teams in the league. This season, Kansas City, 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: of all teams, is falling behind sixth in the league 89 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: at a mere twenty nine point eight points per game. So, 90 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: with victories by the Packers and Bills on Sunday, Steve, 91 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl would feature the two highest scoring teams 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: from the regular season for the fifth time since nineteen 93 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: seventy and the first time since nineteen ninety seven. So, Steve, 94 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: the challenge we put to you today, can you name 95 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: the four other Super Bowl matchups that featured the two 96 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: highest scoring teams in the league, and I will I 97 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: will begin with a hint. Okay, I'm charitable. I'm feeling 98 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: charitable today. One of those matchups was in the eighties. 99 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: The other three all in the nineties. So this figures 100 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: to be like right in your wheelhouse here, right, I 101 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: gotta shot at right. So the net it's four games 102 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: you're asking about. This one is the fifth. Right, four 103 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: previous Super Bowls that featured the two highest scoring teams 104 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: in the league against one another. Here it is Bill's Cowboys. 105 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: That is incorrect. It is not Bill's Cowboys. I will 106 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: say Niners, Bengals, not Niners, Niners, Broncos. I'm gonna help 107 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: you and tell you the forty nine Ers are in this, 108 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: but not the Broncos. All right, bron the Broncos. I'll 109 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: say Miners, Broncos, Niners. Who's been four Niners playing the 110 00:05:51,839 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowls? Bengals? The Broncos? Is Buffalo in it? They 111 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: are Washington, Buffalo, Washing, Buffalo, Washington, very good. That is 112 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: number one, nineteen ninety one, super Bowl twenty six. He's 113 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: on this list. Yes, the other three, there's two more 114 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: in the nineties. Right. Let's say, let's say Green Bay, Denver, 115 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: not Green Bay Denver. Oh, yes, Green Bay, Denver, Sorry, 116 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, Yes, okay, Green Bay, Denver, Washington, Buffalo. 117 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: I'll say San Francisco, San Diego. Nope, San Francisco, San Diego, 118 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco. It is San Francisco. You'll eventually I can't 119 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: remember who else they played. I'm totally long. So let's 120 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: think about their Super Bowl titles. So I got two 121 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: of them, right, I got two eighty one and eighty 122 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: four they were in the Super Bowl. Nine eighty one 123 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: was the Bengals and it's not them, right, eighty four 124 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: was somebody else, that's right. I can't remember. Well, you 125 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: need to to get this car. He wasn't den It 126 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: wasn't Denver. It's gotta be so eighty four. Who did 127 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: they beat in the Super Bowl? Super Bowl nineteen Pittsburgh? 128 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Not Pittburg in the Super Bowl. Who would it be? 129 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: AFC team got there? I can't even run through that 130 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: list ofs AFC teams in my head. Yeah, let me 131 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: get let me get to this. I will say you 132 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: should know this, but I'm gonna say, all right, it's 133 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: gonna be San Francisco against they they beat the England. 134 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: It is not New England. New England played the Bears 135 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Oakland. It is not Oakland. It's 136 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: the team the next year that made the Super Bowl 137 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: for the eight FC. They had a young quarterback. He 138 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: took the league by store in Miami, Miami, very good. 139 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: Nine Marino against Montana. So you have one left, Steve. 140 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: This is in the nineties, and you know it's before 141 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven because that's when the cutoff was The 142 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: last time two teams that were the highest scoring teams 143 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: in the league faced each other in the Super Bowl 144 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: was ninety seven Denver Green Bay. So it has to 145 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: be before that. It wasn't Buffalo, New York Giants. I 146 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: know that it was not Bufflow Washington was one of them, 147 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: and it wasn't Buffalo Dallas. I already asked that in 148 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo Dallas running out of nineties years. It was not 149 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: the San Diego San Francisco one. It might have been, 150 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: and it was an I already guest Denver Green Bay 151 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: was ninety seven. Who's the other team of Denver B? 152 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: Denver B? That would be ninety eight, though that's too late. 153 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: You have to go back, not forward from that um 154 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: Denver Green Bay game. I was in there, man oh Tennessee, 155 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Tennessee. St. Louis. That was ninety nine too late. 156 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: So you have to be somewhere between Super Bowl twenty 157 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: six Buffalo Washington and Super Bowl thirty two Denver Green Bay. 158 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: It's somewhere in between there. Pittsburgh Arizona, not Pittsburgh Arizona. 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: That was two thousand and nine. I was only missed 160 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: a decade, so I will give you it was in 161 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: the nineties though, Yes, I will give you a hint. Okay, 162 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: it's it's one of these teams that you have already mentioned. 163 00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, I will say Oakland Philly. Out of 164 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: Oakland Phillips. The one team that you already mentioned who 165 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: is in this other matchup is Green Bay. So you 166 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: mentioned green Bay in Denver seven green Bay, New England, 167 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. Very good, all right, you got him 168 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: many little hell give me a headache? Okay. So number two, 169 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: all right, Steve in the numbers game. Okay. Our second 170 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: part deals with passing touchdowns in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes 171 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: has fourteen passing touchdowns in his first six playoff games, 172 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: which is tied for most in league history and a 173 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: quarterback's first six playoff games. Okay, he needs three passing 174 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns Sunday to pass Matt Ryan for most passing touchdowns 175 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: in a player's first seven playoff games. So I need Steve. 176 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: The list of quarterbacks after mahomes first six playoff games 177 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: most touchdown passes in league history. Mahomes at the top 178 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: of the list with fourteen. And I will give you 179 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: a hint. There one guy that is tied with him 180 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: at fourteen first six playoff game. It is not Dan Marino. 181 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: He is not in the top four. He's probably on 182 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: the list. Montana, Montana has thirteen correct first six playoff games. 183 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: Bradshaw not Bradshaw, he had l if. I want to say, 184 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: not Starbuck. I would go more modern, not far Not 185 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: Brad barr on the top four. Wow, more not Jim 186 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: Most passing touchdowns in a quarterback's first six career playoff games. 187 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: Who killed it with a Brady? Not Brady. I was shocked. 188 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: Elway is not on the list. Good more recent, more 189 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: more recent, Yes, Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner tied with Mahomes fourteen, 190 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: his first six playoff game. You gotta think about guys. 191 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: They got in the playoff and they took it by 192 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: storm and right, and Warner was one of those. He 193 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: was right. So that got is that one guy left? 194 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: All right, here we go Kurt Warner. And I'll say, 195 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: and I'll give you a hint, he's still playing. I'll 196 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: set breeze. It is not Drew Brees Rothelisberger. I think 197 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: that combatisin the buzzer gets me. Um still uh if 198 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: it turned now, it can't be him. Um, because because 199 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: playing for Philip Rivers is not still playing. Um, first 200 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: six playoff games just started gripping and ripping. I'm going 201 00:12:49,120 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: to say I'm still playing. I will say because he 202 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: needed Godgers, it is Aaron Rodgers. Yes, thirteen touchdown pasts 203 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: in his first six playoff games. Good job, you spet 204 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: it out a little bit, but you got there. It 205 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: should have been easier. Good job, Steve. So that'll do 206 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: it for the Numbers game. We've put Steve through enough torture. 207 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Time now though, for our interview with Shine on Sports, 208 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Adam Shine pleased to be joined now by the man 209 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: who does Shine on Sports on sirius XM mad Dog Radio, 210 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: the man who was on the hype train before it 211 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: was hyped for the Buffalo Bills.

Yeah. I mean, it 232 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: really doesn't get any better. You know, we've always had 233 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: a tradition in the house and I love you got 234 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: the picture right there. You know, we like to get 235 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: ice cream or cake on Sundays for football, and so 236 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to get a carvel cake. I mean, we 237 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: got a great carvel right near us, and he said, 238 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: on the fudge of the whale cake, I want to write, 239 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: go Bills. Take that Mommy. I mean it wasn't just 240 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: enough to get go Bills. I mean it was it 241 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: was awesome, man, you know, being fair, my wife had 242 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: a great sense of humor about it. She loves how 243 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: much the kids are into football, how much Theo's into 244 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And so we had this cake and 245 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: we surprised my wife with it, and she loved it. 246 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Had a great sense of humor. Right after the first game, 247 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: and this was obviously right after, you know, the Green 248 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: Bay and the Rams game. So we're sitting down getting 249 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: ready to watch the Bills and the Ravens, and my son, THEO, 250 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: is very into the Carrie Underwood song on Sunday Nights, 251 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: waiting all day for Sunday Night. Grant. He asked me, 252 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: since the game's on NBC, is there going to be 253 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: a special song? I said, I don't think so, buddy, 254 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: but let's watch and find out. So he sees the 255 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: Bills Mafia peace and the piece ends and he looks 256 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: at me and he's got his Josh Allen Jersey on. 257 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: He says, Dad, am I in Bills Mafia? And I said, yes, son, 258 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: you're officially in Bills Mafia. So it was I mean, 259 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he said that this. After I jumped 260 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: through the table, I was like, Wow, yes, you're a 261 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Bills fan. You're rubbing it in everyone's face. You're you're 262 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: taunting your mother. You're officially in Bills mafia. Oh no, 263 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: that yeah, that full blown initiation he is in. Like good. 264 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: That is the equivalent of the blood oath as far 265 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. When you bust out a fudgie, when 266 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: you bust out of fudgie the whale cake and use 267 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: it as trashed big and in your own household, that's 268 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: something else. And he was also big fan of you 269 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: when you jumped through the table as well. I loved it. 270 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: It was great. Good on you for that, and it 271 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: was just an absolute trip to see it all. Yeah, 272 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: you did up your game here. We have to say, 273 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean we have the fea. I mean, you're one. 274 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: When I guarantee that they were gonna be the Cinderella team. 275 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: You know, look, I went basically through a table that 276 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: was a cardboard box. And you know our senior producer 277 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: Alison Cohen who you know, Steve, She's she's fantastic, and 278 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: our director Jake Gettitch I was gonna jump off of 279 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: something in studio like, Adam, You're gonna hurt yourself. You 280 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: can't let you do that. So this year I'm like, 281 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: all right, fine, I'll get a real table. And then 282 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: it's funny. My wife was watching the Bills Mafia piece 283 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: and she looked at me and she goes, you know, 284 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: if the Bills win the Super Bowl, you're gonna have 285 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: to jump through a real table. You have to keep 286 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: going to the next level game. I said, sure. If, 287 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: in fact, I'm telling you guys, the Bills win the 288 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I will jump through one of those tables 289 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen said I jumped off of. I'll jump 290 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: through it after the Bills win a Super Bowl. Okay, 291 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: so you heard it here first January twenty first, two 292 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: ten pm. Adam Shine has laid it down. Now, you 293 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: don't want to do it exactly how Josh has suggested it, 294 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: because he was saying he wants to light his on fire. 295 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: So don't go that far, because I know the liability 296 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: insurance isn't that good at CBS. So yeah, the regular 297 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: table is more than enough. Adam, You'll be good there 298 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: with everybody enough at all this What do you think 299 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: about the game Chiefs Bills in Arrowhead late in the year, 300 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand people. Josh Allen and the Bills and they're passing, 301 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: attack built a lot like the Chiefs are. What kind 302 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: of match up? What do you think, Steve, I gotta 303 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: tell you, I love what Josh said at his press 304 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: conference yesterday when he talked about going against Patrick Mahomes. 305 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: I always find it just disingenuous when quarterbacks say, well, 306 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm only playing against the opposition to defense. No, you're 307 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: playing against Patrick Mahomes. You have to do what you do, 308 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: but be able to outscore them. And I think that 309 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are capable. I think it's gonna be 310 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: a high scoring game. I think both quarterbacks are going 311 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: to be fabulous. I think Josh Allen has become a star. 312 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: I think by a smidge Allen had a better season 313 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: than Patrick Mahomes this year. I think this connection with 314 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: Alan and Diggs is remarkable. You know, leader first upon 315 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: Diggs all regular sea and postseason targets and receptions and yards. 316 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: And I don't think Kansas said even though their defense 317 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: to me is underrated. Chris Jones, a stud Honey Badger's 318 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: stud I don't think you can stop this kind of combo. 319 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: My trust level and Brian day balls through the roof 320 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: and Seuman Derman's through the roof. I could see some 321 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: of the role players at the receiver position stepping up, 322 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: and that's been a big key all year. A little 323 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: concerned about Gabe Davis and his health. You guys would 324 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: know a little bit better than I would, But I 325 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: think this is going to be a classic, and I 326 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: have Buffalo winning thirty five thirty one. We like the 327 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: sound of that. Obviously, as unstoppable as Stefan Diggs has been, 328 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: I mean, people pretty much say he's unguardable, and his 329 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: numbers would bear that out. Travis Kelsey is kind of 330 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: in the same boat. He finished right behind him in 331 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: receiving yards and oh, by the way, he plays a 332 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: tight end position. Essentially, he's a wide receiver the way 333 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: he plays. But with these two unguardable guys in the game, 334 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: do you think it's more a matter of which one 335 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: of those shines brightest in the this one or to 336 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: your previous point, do you think there is a role 337 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: player that probably makes a difference in the game. Allah 338 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: A Terren Johnson last week I think it's more about 339 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: the role players Chris, because I think at the end 340 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: of the day, I expect Kelsey to dominate. And that's 341 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: not a disrespect to the Buffalo Bill's defense, But you know, 342 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: I think Kelsey and Dig's gonna have similar statlines and 343 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: also a similar feel when you watch it. I mean, 344 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think Kelsey's gonna have eight catches and 345 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards and score a touchdown. I 346 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: think if I said anything else, you know, it would 347 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: be disingenuous. You know, I'll tell you a player is 348 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: a guy who I voted for First team All Pro 349 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: at the safety position. I could see him making a 350 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: big play on defense. You know, I'd like to see 351 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more Devin Singletary. I love the game 352 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: plan against Baltimore, and maybe it's not even so much 353 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: guys in terms of carries as much as it is 354 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: overall touches. I don't Josh tried to hit him a 355 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: couple of times in the Baltimore game. I think single 356 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: Terry can be a bit of an unsung hero. You know, 357 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: McKenzie could be utilized in that kind of role as well. 358 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: You know, I think the stars on both sides are 359 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: gonna come to play in this one. I think it's 360 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. You know, I don't 361 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: think the Buffalo bill is as well coached as they are. 362 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you could stop Travis Kelsey. I don't 363 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: think anyone could stop Travis Kelson. We saw the Chiefs 364 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: emerge ont of the scene, and Pat Mahomes first year 365 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: as a starter, he's the league MVP. Is second years 366 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: of starter, he's the Super Bowl MVP, and of course 367 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: he's in the conversation once again. They're the one seed 368 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: in the conference. Three straight AFC Championship games, and you 369 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: could kind of see that if you remember back three 370 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: years when they got put out of the AFC Championship 371 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady and Belichick and those guys. They've been 372 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: there for three years, and you still had a sense 373 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: even back then that this was a team with Mahomes 374 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: that was gonna be good for a while. In Buffalo, 375 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: there's kind of that same vibe. And even today, we 376 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: just got word today that you know, Brian Dable Brandon 377 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: Bean is the executive of the or Brian Dable is 378 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: the Assistant Coach of the Year in the National Football 379 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: League This seems to be an organization where this kind 380 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: of level of success during the regular season is gonna 381 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: be kind of expected, and it seems to be, you know, replicatable. 382 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: What do you think about Brandon being in the job 383 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: they've done. I think I think you're one hundred percent right. 384 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: And I listen, I have a vote for the Associated 385 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: Press Awards and I voted Brian dab All the Assistant 386 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. I think he is superb. You know, 387 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: I think the culture that coach McDermot has established is amazing. 388 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Brandon being is smart, he's aggressive. See I always go 389 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: back when I look at Brandon being a couple off 390 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: seasons to go and what they did with Beasley and 391 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: Brown where you know, they weren't necessarily national headlines, but 392 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: that's what a young quarterback needed, and they were proven veterans. 393 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: And then you make the monster trade for for Stefon 394 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: Diggs and they've trafted, well, they signed the right veterans receiver, 395 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: defensive line front seven. We've seen that. I mean, look, 396 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: it's so tough in the NFL to predict the year 397 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: to year, right, you just it's built for competitive balance. 398 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think what the Patriots did will never 399 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: be duplicated again. You know it's I mean, is Deshaun 400 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 1: Watson gonna get traded in the AFC East. There's so 401 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: many things you just don't know, but I think the 402 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: Bills have the right people in place. That's always been 403 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: my favorite part of this group. Bean's a genius. Mcdermot's 404 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: brilliant love Frasier loved day ball, and they have brilliantly 405 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: surrounded their franchise quarterback who's young and a star with 406 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: incredible talent. I know your time is short, Adams. So 407 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: the last one for me is this. We hear all 408 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: about the concussion protocol for Patrick Mahomes this week. It 409 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: has overshadowed the toe injury that left him very hobbled 410 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: at the end of that Cleveland game before he left, 411 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, with the concussion stuff. So if his mobility 412 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: is somewhat compromised, assuming he plays in the game, which 413 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: I think we're all expecting at this point, but if 414 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: his mobility is compromised, how much does that change the 415 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: complexion of this game? I think it's incredible. And let 416 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: me say, for the record, I agree with you, like 417 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: I know, you can't really predict how someone's going to 418 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: come out of a concussion protocol. But I can pay 419 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: attention to what Andy Reid is saying, and I think 420 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: that Andy Reid thinks he'll eventually be cleared. And you 421 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: see that in terms of the signs with practice guys. 422 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: That toe is problematic and you could tell he couldn't plant, 423 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: he couldn't run Like Patrick Mahomes. We're talking about, you know, 424 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: that level of superstar, best player in the NFL, best 425 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: player in sports. I mean, that's what you expect from 426 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Think about Championship Sunday last year, the Tennessee game. 427 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: I thought that run at the end of the first 428 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: half was as significant as anything. So you know, there's 429 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: a very realistic chance that you know, again, I thought 430 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: josh Allen had a better year than Mahomes this season, 431 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: but Josh Allen could clearly be the most athletic quarterback 432 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: on the field on Championship Sunday. That's I mean. Mahomes 433 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: a magician. I never put anything past him. He's capable 434 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: of anything. But I am genuinely concerned here when you 435 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: look at it from the chief's perspective with that toe. Adam, 436 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: thanks man, It's great talking to you and give your 437 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: my best to your newest member of the Bill's Mafia. 438 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: THEO in like Flynn. I'm telling you, it was the 439 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: greatest moment. It was so cool and Fatherhood's dad and 440 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: he's sports obsessed. He's my child after all. My girls 441 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: who are older, they're into it as well, and they're 442 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: obsessed with sports. When THEO asked him I part of 443 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia, it didn't get it. It just doesn't get 444 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: any better than man Enjoy Conference Championship weekend Sunday. Adam, 445 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: thanks for the time, can't wait, guys. Thanks. All right, 446 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: that's Adam Shine from Shine on Sports on Sirius XM 447 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: mad Dog Radio. All right, Steve, we wrap up this 448 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: epidisode of One Bill's Light with our one burning question. 449 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: We're all familiar with the star power in this game 450 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 1: with the two quarterbacks Tyree Hill, Travis Kelsey, Stefan Diggs, 451 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: Tredavious White, Tyranne Matthew, But as we often see in 452 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's the unknown player that often turns a 453 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: game with a gigantic play. We witnessed it firsthand last 454 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: week when Tarren Johnson went one hundred and one yards 455 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: with an interception return for a touchdown basically sealed the 456 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: game for Buffalo Chiefs head a similar, though not as 457 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: monumental play from Chad Henny when it looked like he 458 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: ran for a first down on a third and fourteen 459 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: ruled short, then ice the game with a fourth and 460 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: inches pass to Tyree Hill. So one burning question, Steve, 461 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: what lesser known player on Sunday makes a game changing 462 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: play for the Bills? Who's your pick? I will say, 463 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. Levi Wallace, Wow, that isn't under the radar pick. 464 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Tell me why. I think he's gonna get a lot 465 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: of chances. He's gonna get opportunities. And I think in 466 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: this defense with I think Levi Wallace may may get 467 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: a pick or force a fumble or something like. He'll 468 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to do something. I think he'll make 469 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: them most Steve, that is tasty. I like it even 470 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: better than mine. Ah, that's a really good one. Levi Wallace. 471 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: That yes, and he didn't even play against him the 472 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: last time. They don't know anything about him. You know, 473 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: it's like a miss. We've seen serious all year. You've 474 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: seen Levis. You see him on TV all the time 475 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: because they throw at him all the time because nobody's 476 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: going at Tredavious and he has he's you know, for 477 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: a guy. You know, everybody cheers for him because he's 478 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: a guy they tried to replace twice. He worked his 479 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: way from undrafted rookie free agent onto the field in 480 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: a starting capacity. Then they tried to replace him. Couldn't 481 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: get it done with a former number one, couldn't get 482 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: it done. Tried to replace him again with a veteran 483 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: who had been all Pro. Couldn't get it done. That's 484 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: my call. I like it. I don't know why I'm 485 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: going this way, but there are certain little things that 486 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: sometimes just flash in my head, just randomly, that don't 487 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: make sense at the time. And this has happened to 488 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: me since I'm like a kid where I'll have like 489 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: those deja vu moments and you know, my dad and 490 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: I'll be driving in a car and be like, there's 491 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: gonna be a restaurant coming up here. I'll name the 492 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: restaurant whatever, Like we've never been on this road before. 493 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: I'd be like, there's a restaurant coming up about a 494 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: mile from here that's gonna be this. It's gonna have 495 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: red lights on the top, and sure enough, a mile 496 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: later there's the restaurant. It's been happening to me since 497 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm ten to twelve years. This is the flash that 498 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: came in my mind. Bills related. Okay, Patrick Mahomes under duress, 499 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: runs out of the pocket. Okay, he's retreating, kind of 500 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: like Joe Montana in the throw to Um the tight 501 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: End Dwight Clark. He's retreating in that fashion, except on 502 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: this play, Tremaine Edmonds is after him and he skies 503 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: in the air to block a pass and it sticks 504 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: in both his gloves and he makes an interception like 505 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know if that's going 506 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: to have an impact on the outcome of the game 507 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday, but it's just it flashed in my head, 508 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: so I'm going with it. Tremaine Edmonds interception in pursuit 509 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: of a sack of Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes tries to throw 510 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: the ball and he snares it out of the air 511 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: for an I and T. I don't know why, but 512 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: that flashed in my head. If I had a hammer 513 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: and chisel in a block of granite, I would carve 514 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: it in. If you say it like that, I believe 515 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: we can all sign up for it. Sign now, watch it. 516 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: I probably jinx it and it won't happen now, but 517 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: that I'm That's what I saw in my mind, and 518 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. And Tremaine is overdue for a 519 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: play like that. I think we can agree on that. 520 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's made a handful of good plays again, 521 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: the leading tackler on the team this year in the 522 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: regular season. But it just it sounds right to me, 523 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm sticking with totally with the main 524 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: savage on that one.
