Speaker 1: from one of my brothers. Stupid, but he kind of

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: let the cat out of the bag. So and then

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I decided I'd have a little fun and kind of

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: torture my wife whether or not I would attend the

69
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: event that I was supposed to attend. It's something to

70
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: do with picking up somebody and dropping him off. It

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: was one of our boys dropping him off somewhere to babysit,

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: dropping him off at my sister's house to babysit, right,

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I can't do that, Mary.

74
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: You know. I played that out for a while and

Speaker 1: my wife Mary knew that I was playing it out

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200

Speaker 1: that is true. You would Yeah, I get it. Yeah,

157
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,880

158
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: and you pick up where you want. Do you one

159
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: more birthday question? Do you believe that people younger than us,

160
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: and there are many more more now than ever put

161
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: undue emphasis on birthdays, celebrating birthdays, acknowledging birthdays, well, workplace

162
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, I see in workplace workplace co

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: workers like, yeah, I think they do. I think they do.

164
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: I think it well, I mean you figure out. I

165
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: mean everybody turns twenty one, right, and what a you know,

166
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: what a catastrophe that can be right in our culture.

167
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: But by the same token, I think young it's a

168
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: bigger deal for young people because maybe they've got maybe

169
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: you're from behind you, they're more precious guys like you

174
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: get that young people sometimes celebrate for days. It takes

175
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: a while. Listen, when you have one daughter, four sons. Yeah,

Speaker 1: topic to engage our listeners with today. Yeah, it's fun

212
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: because this we got here because a little bit because

213
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the Jets did their thing, no question about it. And

214
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, at this point in their histories, both these

215
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: teams are kind of in the rebuild mode and both

216
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: seem to be really really optimistic about where this is

217
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: going ahead and even this year. And so the Jets

218
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: come out with the new uniforms and you know, and

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: we've all seen it, You've seen it a ton where

220
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: these teams come out with new It's like way back

221
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: in the day Tampa Bay did it when they went

222
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: from the cream sickle uniforms into the pewter kind of things,

223
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, And there's been some others as well, and

224
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: the Bills have done it so and it's been back

225
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: and now they're back kind of switched it again, back

226
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: to more like the old time look. And I like,

227
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm gonna go out and say

228
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: it right now. I like them right where they're at.

229
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Me too, you and I love right where they're at.

230
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I like these uniforms. I like this combination. A lot

231
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: of people were getting a lot of feedback on the

232
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet today about everybody likes to go

233
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: completely throwback. I don't. I don't know. I like where

234
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: they're at with their uniforms right now because when you

235
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: see these guys especially, they're all white uniforms, and the

236
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: way they've got them laid out now, man, they they

237
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: look awesome when they walk, when they roll out of

238
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: the tunnel, and those all whites. And I like the

239
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: home jerseys as well. I just think they look sharp though.

240
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: I like the white helmets with the charging buffalo. And

241
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: if you go if you go on Wikipedia and go

242
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: back to the Buffalo Bills logos, you know, the Bill's

243
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: logo was a standing buffalo from nineteen sixty three through

244
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. Then it got the charging buffalo. We've

245
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: had throwback uniforms, then we had the dark blue and

246
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: red uniforms of the early two thousands, late nineties. That

247
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: big changeover and they change back. I like where they're

248
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: at now. Those color Rush uniforms are. I can't get

249
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: out of my mind the snow game from two years

250
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: ago when they played the Colds. That game was a

251
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: work of art, and most of it was because the

252
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: Bills wore those bright red on red jerseys and helmets,

253
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: and now it wouldn't been able to see anything right,

254
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: and they couldn't see the Colts. Colts disappeared. It was

255
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: I just love that game, that look and all the

256
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: fun that that was. I love the white helmets the

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Bills were these days with the with the charging blue

258
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: buffalo and the red stripe down the middle bordered by

259
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: blue and a lot of these details. I mean, you

260
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: think back and like, I don't even you know, I

261
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: don't even know if I could get a pencil and

262
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: paper with all the markers and draw one, you know,

263
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: colored in even with a even with computer program because

264
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, you just take it for granted. But I

265
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: like where they're at now. I love the jersey they have.

266
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: I like the white helmets better than I did, even

267
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the red helmet that I wore I had so much

268
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: success in. I gotta tell you a lot of people

269
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: love the red helmets. They're saying, go back to the

270
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: red helmets, were like the white. We're asking your opinion

271
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: because of Paul Lucas coming out in one and we'll

272
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets uniform. We'll talk about the Bills uniform.

273
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: But we want your opinion too. And look, there are

274
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: no plans that we know of in the works to

275
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: change anything. I like them more. There no plans right now,

276
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: so that's not part of the equation. We're asking for

277
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: your preferences here. What changes would you like to see

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: made to the Bills uniforms? Now? Again, no plans in

279
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: the works that we're aware of, no inkling of any change.

280
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: So don't get hung up on Yeah, that's not what

Speaker 1: the throwback uniforms they wear that look what most recent

304
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: the throwbacks are? What steve your your era? Right? Pretty?

305
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought they were all right, the

306
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: standing red Buffalo jack camp and guys, forty one percent

307
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: of you, that's pretty sizeable say go completely throwback, twenty

308
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: nine percent of you say bring back the red helmets,

309
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: sixteen percent like Steve liked the color Rush, one to

310
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: see more color rush, fifteen percent of something else in mind. Look,

311
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: you gotta describe it for us because we're limited by

312
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: nature of a Twitter to those four. But there could

313
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: be a million other things that you think about for

314
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: the Bills uniform And what would you like to see?

315
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: What changes would you like to see made to the

316
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills uniform? I happen to think and it thought

317
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: about it last week? Was it last week when when

318
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: the Jets uniform came out? Man, the Bills got a

319
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: great classic uniform. You know, they're the same age, franchise,

320
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the same age as the New York Jets. And as

321
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: I said, I think that I say this to you

322
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: last week, I believe I did the Jets. If I

323
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: asked you what's the best Jets uniform all time? You

324
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a hard time describing it because they've changed

325
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot. Helmet are designed, the logo on the helmet

326
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: has changed over the years. They've had white helmets, they've

327
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: had green helmets, they have Steve said, a black kind

328
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: of component to their uniform. Now, the Bills, I think

329
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: have always had a classic uniform that people can identify.

330
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: A forty one percent say I want the old throwback,

331
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: the old AFL throwbacks. And I think there's in everybody's

332
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: mind there's a serious image of what those red throwback

333
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: uniforms look like, or what those Bills throwback uniforms look like.

334
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: But explain it to us on the phones if you

335
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: would eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight

336
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, what changes would

337
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: you like to see made to the Buffalo Bills uniforms.

338
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: And again, they're not changing as far as we know

339
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: this year anyway. Yes, and we've got people chiming in

340
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: now says don't don't change them. Man. They finally got

341
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: them right, and I think I'm in that school. I

342
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: think they've got a really good, clean look. The nice

343
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: stripes on the shoulder. As you see now on MSG,

344
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: they're showing the Josh Allen white on white with two

345
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: blue stripes across the shoulders, with the bordered in red

346
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: and match the jerseys. I love the white on white

347
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: with the white helmets, and I mean, I just I

348
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: think that's a clean, tight look. It's just it's awesome. Man.

349
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: They look so good rolling out of the stadium with

350
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I'm I'm I'm all about that. I'm

351
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't love like I like where they're at. And

352
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: we got a tweet on this and I really I

353
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: believe this. Let me find the tweet on the tweet sheet,

354
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: um from Milton Bread on the tweet sheet. Our all

355
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: white uniforms are the best in pro sports. If I

356
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: had to pick one thing, though, I'd say bring back

357
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: the red helmet. I love the all white uniforms. I

358
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: do too. There's a purity to it, right, There's a clean,

359
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: pure look to those all white uniforms that I love.

360
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: And they've got the and the great blue and red

361
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: trim for those white uniforms makes it. It makes it

362
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: all that much patriotic. It's a great color combination. And

363
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: they've I don't know what fabric the bills use for

364
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: those you know, the the but the they just gleam

365
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: in the sunshine. This team rolls out like I remember

366
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: that Minnesota game this year, when the sunshine came through

367
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: the stadium walls up in Minnesota, when the Bills had

368
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: that huge surprise statement victory over the Vikings early in

369
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: the season after they got off to such a slow

370
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: start and they came in and exploded all over the Vikings.

371
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: They look dynamite in those white uniforms, in that sunshine,

372
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: those they just gleam, And I think that's awesome. So

373
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a big fan of where they're at now.

374
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: And we hadn't really talked about this before we got

375
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: on the air, but I think you and I kind

376
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: of see it the same way. They look classic and

377
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: yet they look modern, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

378
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: And that the new helmets, the white helmets with the

379
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: charging buffalo in the stripe, they list look great, and I'm,

380
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's an NFL, really I And

381
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: I agree with with Milton Brad. I mean, they're they're

382
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: as sharp as anything in pro sports the way they

383
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: fought them looking now, give us a call E three

384
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight by fifty two fifty.

385
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: Paul Lucas from uniwatch dot Com will join us at

386
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: one o'clock to talk about uniforms, talk about the and

387
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Jets new uniform, the Bills old classic uniform.

388
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: But now it's the time to get your opinion. What

389
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: changes would you like to see made with the Bills uniform?

390
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: A brand on the line from Rochester. Hello, Brad, go ahead,

391
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Hey, guys, As far

392
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, the Bills have never had a bad uniform.

393
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: They've always cut the block numbers, the bolt stripes, down

394
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: the pants, a red helmet, white helmet, charging buffalo, classic

395
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: logoll doesn't matter. They're all great. Can I just interrupt you, Brad,

396
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: because there's one era of Bills uniforms that I would

397
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I would take issue with, and that's two thousand and

398
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: two through two thousand and five, almost two or two

399
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, two thousand and ten, the one with

400
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: like the I don't even what you call it, up

401
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: top across the shoulders, yeah, the yoke, Yeah, the yoke,

402
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: that's what it's called. And the odd color blue that

403
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: was in the blue uniforms back in that era of

404
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and two through two thousand and ten. I

405
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: didn't like that. It was not Classic Buffalo bills blue,

406
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: and I think it just rubbed me the wrong way.

407
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: It was ultramodern. Yeah, and we've got some people chiming

408
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: into not only we have the all red uniforms, we

409
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: also have those all blue ones, which are just as good.

410
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Particularly with the white helmet. It looks great. And I agree,

411
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: I and he's I've right, there's never been a really

412
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: bad uniform, but that the one you just describes, probably

413
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: my least favorite. But because I think something so many

414
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: people equate it with the struggling of the team as well,

415
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, but that's got to be part of it.

416
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: But still, yeah, I'm I'm all about what they're doing now.

417
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: I think they look they look classic yet modern and

418
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: and they're clean and it's just and all the color

419
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: combinations fit really well. So Rand and Rochester. You have

420
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: more to say about that? Oh, the only one I

421
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: don't like. I don't like the colorade be all read

422
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: that to me, that's too trendy for me. Um And

423
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: I think the classic Buffalo the people want it back,

424
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think just having it a

425
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: couple of times a year is what makes you like it.

426
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: You can't go to the charging Buffalo. Charging Buffalo is

427
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: just that that's the best local as far as I'm

428
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: concerning all post sports. Yeah, I like it as well,

429
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: and I like it the you know, here's the thing.

430
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I like the Charging Buffalo because it talks about the Bills, right,

431
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: that's the Bills. The Standing Buffalo is the city, you

432
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's the difference for me. The

433
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: Charging Buffalo is the team and the Standing Buffalo is

434
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: more about the city for whatever reason. And it's not

435
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: that they're not one and the same. I mean, we

436
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: all know how closely related they are. But that to

437
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: me and I don't have a problem either way. I mean,

438
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: they're both great. But that's the that's the delineation I

439
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: put in my own mind about what those what I

440
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: feel like when I see those those logos, those different logos.

441
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: That's a good distinction to make. And I've heard that.

442
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, you know who Eric Brady is used to

443
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: be a columnist Buffalo cur Express USA today. I believe

444
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: he just retired from the cur Express not too long

445
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: or from the USA today not too long ago. He

446
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: I saw him to give a speech once. You might

447
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: have been there a season kickoff for the Bills and

448
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: it was downtown, like the Hyatt Hotel or something. And

449
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: he started talking about the Buffalo Bills logo and this

450
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: was the charging Buffalo was the only logo in the

451
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: NFL that really represented the city and not the team.

452
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: So it's not a picture of a bison. It's not

453
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: a picture of a buffalo. Really, it's it's not it's

454
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: you see that. It is a picture of a bison.

455
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: But you see that and you think Buffalo City. No

456
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: other teams do that, right, Pittsburgh, Right, You see the

457
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: US Steel logo kind of incorporated into it. But there's

458
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: no other place, no other team anyway, where the city

459
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: is represented on the helmet. You know, the name of

460
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: the of the image on the helmet is the name

461
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: of the city. And I kind of like that, Oh yeah,

462
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: it's it lends it this, you know, obviously the name

463
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: Buffalo lends itself to that um and I I think

464
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: it's part of what makes it special. There's no question.

465
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing that. I don't know, I'm really struck by

466
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: now right when I'm sitting here we're talking about this

467
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: in this opening segment. You know how much it means

468
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: to me that that symbol it's it's big for me

469
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: in my personal life, but also I'm really proud of

470
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: it for the city. I'm proud, you know, I've always

471
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: we're always we're lifers here. We're proud of this city,

472
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, proud of the teams, proud of all this stuff.

473
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: And uh, I like it when that buffalo shows up.

474
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you go anywhere without people saying, yeah,

475
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's that's that city. And I like I

476
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: like the old logo to the standing red buffalo. Look,

477
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's not the every day nowadays logo, but

478
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: I like the fact that it's they roll it out

479
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: once a year or so. Um, you can buy gear

480
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: with it. And I have a couple of things, all

481
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: kinds of hats and stuff. Love the right right there.

482
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: It's a classic look, the old AFL standing red buffalo.

483
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: It's a classic look. I love that we claimed it too.

484
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the thing. People here take

485
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: ownership of it, you know. Yeah, I mean that, Um,

486
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: that's that's standing buffalo on the side of those helmets

487
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: that they showed that they roll out for you know,

488
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: throwback games and stuff, and they get the red and

489
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: blue and white stripes, you know the mini stripes that

490
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: are kind of the throwback look. Um, it's great, it's great.

491
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: They wore those. I guess we're seeing now. They wore

492
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: those in Miami this year on the throw back on

493
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: the game where, um, you know, the long throw at

494
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: the end of Charles Clay they had on those throwback

495
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: in your uniforms where they just missed winning that game

496
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: with that pass. So um, yeah, it's a sharp look,

497
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: it really is. And the colors are great. The just

498
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: the right shade of blue, just you know, just enough

499
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: amount of red to accent it. It's great. They look awesome.

500
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Those throwbacks are great. Their everyday uniforms are great. The

501
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: color rush is one person, you're Brad we just had calling.

502
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: He didn't like the all red. He thinks that's training,

503
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: but that's now. I don't know. I liked it. It

504
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: looked great in that snow game. Like I keep saying,

505
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: once a year, I haven't seen. We don't wear the

506
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: blue on blue very much, right, which I can. I

507
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: don't like it as well as I like the red. No,

508
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: but the red's attention getting It's like whoa soon as

509
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: you seem hey, what changes would you like to see

510
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: maybe with the Bill's uniform. Just taking opinions here today,

511
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: they're not any changes plan that we know of. Let's

512
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: know what you think. Here is a Tony in Buffalo. Hello, Tony,

513
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air with this. Hey,

514
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: how you guys doing there? Good? Um. I just wanted

515
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: to say that I do agree on everything that, especially

516
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: with Steve said, uh last week. I believe it was

517
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: when we started talking about this when the Jets released

518
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: their uniform. Was that doing me away and using the

519
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: white jersey with the blue pants? It's sharp? You know?

520
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: The all white is incredible in my opinion. I love

521
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: the fact that they do the red, you know, and

522
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: like John said, maybe once a year is perfect, kind

523
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: of like an offsetter. Um. What I would like to

524
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: say though, is if I don't I don't agree with

525
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: any change. I think they should keep it the way

526
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: they are. If there was to be at some type

527
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: of change, I would like to say, maybe that great

528
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: face mask is the only thing that I would possibly change. Um.

529
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: Would you do go white or blue? Yeah? The day

530
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: To be honest, I think all three would look pretty sharp. Um,

531
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: but just so it's not too popping I would maybe

532
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: just go all white. Um, I would. I would enjoy

533
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: right is my favorite color. I would enjoy right as well. Um,

534
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: I think they would all look sharp. But uh, i'd

535
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: probably finally interested to go with white. Okay, Yeah, that's

536
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: a good You know, that's a detailed that it gets

537
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: by a lot of people. Uh, it doesn't get by

538
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: the players because they look through those things constantly, right,

539
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: so they you gotta get used to it if it's

540
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: a dark one. I don't know that it Yeah, that's interesting. Um, yeah,

541
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: I could see that that's the vision if now I

542
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: get used to it pretty quickly. I don't think it

543
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: makes that big a difference. I maybe bothers them more

544
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: mentally than anything. It's not a difference maker. I don't know.

545
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: But that's interesting that you say that it's a good detail.

546
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Tony. I think I was gonna say if

547
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: if it came down to whenever we wear the you know,

548
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: the throwback with the standing buffalo, obviously in my opinion,

549
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a red face mask, but I think would look really

550
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: sharp on that helmet. Oh yeah, that's a good point too.

551
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: Yeah you could change it for just for the throwbacks. Um,

552
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: and we're getting some and I know this too on

553
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll and um, this is just for for me,

554
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: But I hold Jay Harris. They should have nothing on

555
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: the on the list, and he wouldn't put it on

556
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: for me, So I'm bummed that he didn't do that.

557
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: He's why, what do you mean I want to change?

558
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: No changes? Yeah, and I think a lot of people

559
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: think other covers that doesn't it. It should but it's

560
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: not no changes. But um, I just thought they should

561
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: have said no change. But it's his birthday, Jay, give

00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Looking forward to talking to him,

606
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: coming up today at one o'clock, two o'clock, two o'clock.

607
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: That is hey Bill's news. Just a little bit came

608
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: out late yesterday. Exclusive rights free agent Eddie Yarborough agreed

609
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: to terms and signed his one year contract. Key turns

610
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty six years old later this month. He's played the

611
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: last two seasons as part of the rotation on the

612
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: defensive line for the Bills, twenty eight tackles last year,

613
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: four tackles for losses, a quarterback hit. Also played some

614
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: special teams. Bill's tendered him with a qualifying offer earlier

615
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: this offseason as an exclusive rights free agent. Nobody else

616
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: could sign him, so he was tied to the Bills,

617
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: but he agreed terms on a one year contract Buffalo

618
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: and that with five defensive ends on the roster, maybe

619
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: more coming in a couple of weeks at the draft.

620
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: Eddie Yarborough has been you know, good players even and

621
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: a high energy guy, which they have used to a

622
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: great benefit. I think over the last couple of years

623
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: since he's been there. He got here at the same

624
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: time McDermott did, and he became a favorite, right He

625
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: was a real surprise. Remember the great preseason he had

626
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: two years ago in that year and they said, wow,

627
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those guys that you know,

628
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: people who were watching the team during training camp and

629
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: watched preseason closely, you know, because all of us kind

630
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: of you know, yawned a little bit through the preseason,

631
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: but he was one of those guys that kind of

632
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: captured a lot of people's imaginations. Wanted him to play well,

633
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: wanted him to be on the team, and I think

634
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: he was gone and came back at the beginning of

635
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: that season. Then once he got up off the practice

636
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: squad or wherever it was he was, I think they

637
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: released him and then brought him back. He contributed with

638
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: his energy and his abilities. He was one of their

639
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: guys who he has this persona to me, I'd be

640
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys that, you know, he's one of

641
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: those one of the guys that makes it makes this

642
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: team better than to some of its parts. You know,

643
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: he's not that good a player, but man oh man,

644
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: he contributes in a big way. And that's I think

645
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: indicative of a lot of the guys they bring in here.

646
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: It's one of those character things, one of those culture

647
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: things that and yet Eddie Yarborough I think is one

648
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: of the guys that are kind of indicative of those

649
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: guys that kind of contribute a little bit. But then

650
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: when you look at how everything comes together, Wow, it's

651
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: way better because of guys like him, you know what

652
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't know if I can articulate it

653
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: that way, but he's part of the culture that made

654
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: this team take off so quickly the first year of

655
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's tenure. So Eddie Yarbrow has under contract again.

656
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: He's coming back. And this came out yesterday, but it

657
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: bears repeating. The preseason schedule is out. It came out

658
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: about two o'clock yesterday. Builds with four games in preseason.

659
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: First one at home the weekend of August eighth through

660
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: the twelve, Thursday through Monday that week. The date coming

661
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: out probably next week. We think the regular season schedules

662
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: should be out next week. Week two preseason. That one's

663
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: away the Bills play away at Carolina the weekend of

664
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: August fifteen through nineteen, Thursday through Monday there and then

665
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: the next two dates are set. Bills on the road

666
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: for week three in preseason away at Detroit to play

667
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: the Lions August twenty third. It's a Friday night, It's

668
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: on the NFL on CBS eight o'clock kick off that

669
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: Friday night, and the preseason finale at home on the

670
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: following Thursday, the Thursday before Labor Day, August twenty nine,

671
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: the Bills at home to play Minnesota. The preseason schedule,

672
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: did you think much more about that yesterday, Steve, I did. No.

673
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm it's kind of a bummer that the home games

674
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: are that weeks one and weeks four. Week one is

675
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: always a yawner because it's just as kind of a yeah,

676
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: it is kind of a nice drink of water because

677
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: you're ready to do it, and you get that at home.

678
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, you get your home fans there for the

679
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: first time the team takes the field as a as

680
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: a group in that season. But you know it's that

681
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: second and that actually that eight pm third against the

682
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Lions in Detroit on the twenty third and the third game,

683
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 1: that's why everybody wants to see, you know, because you're

684
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna see You're gonna see Josh Allen play three quarters

685
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: of that game again, see your defense play a bunch um.

686
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: But you know you'll have a more comfortable seat. I

687
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: guess in your living room. You're gonna see it that way.

688
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: What you probably go, I mean, I have to go

689
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: to that game CBS. Yeah, yeah, it'll be because the

690
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: TV side won't be working and I haven't I guess

691
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: we haven't heard hurt. I guess. I guess it's gonna

692
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: be the same as it has been in the year's past.

693
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: I'll be doing the TV thing with Andrew Catalana, you'll

694
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: be doing the radio thing with Mark right, I guess yeah,

695
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: I haven't heard right. Excited to go, nobody thinks. Nobody

696
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: thinks about it until like the day before. It's like

697
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: go by the way, you guys, right, that happened. Yeah,

698
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: And you're getting lucky with the break with and whether

699
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: you have to go to that in Detroit. Nice. So

700
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: we're pupped about that. And we're talking about uniforms today

701
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: with Paul Lucas from you know watch coming up at

702
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: one o'clock. We'll take your calls. We got a lot

703
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: of texts or tweets in and a lot of calls

704
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: on it. Take a couple of more calls there. Jim

705
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: in Lackawanna, Jim, what changes would you like to see

706
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: made with the bills uniforms? What do you think? Oh guys,

707
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: how's it going? Listen? I've been following Bills in sixty four, okay,

708
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: and I really liked the whites on Whites standing Buffalo

709
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: and with Steve. I have to disagree with you the red,

710
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: all red and all green with the Jets and all

711
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore and all black. Get rid of them, burn them,

712
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: throw them at a trash child. They don't they don't

713
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: look good. I mean, if you have the two teams together,

714
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: like the Jets and the Bills, was the last year

715
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: of green and red, yep, they look like long underwear.

716
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: Or with the with the Bills, they look like a

717
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: giant pepper. So just keep white on white in the

718
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: standing buffalo. You know, I think, Jim, what do you

719
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: mean mention of the snow game two years ago in

720
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: the colts um, didn't those uniforms, those red uniforms look

721
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: spectacular that day against the white background. Yeah, But it's

722
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: just so it's all about the money they want. They

723
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: want another other uniforms. Soul and red on red is

724
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: too much. Maybe if they had the red jersey and

725
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: a white pants they'd be okay. But like I said,

726
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: a big giant pepper run around up. Yeah. I'll tell

727
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: you what we make and we you know, one of

728
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: the things we're critical about the league is, you know,

729
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: the money. I mean, they kind of chase the money.

730
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing that they have not done.

731
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: When you talk about chasing money, they don't let teams

732
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: change uniforms. Very often. They've got to go through like

733
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: a year and a half two year process to run

734
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: it by committees at the NFL. And you look at

735
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: like colleges like Oregon, who wears a different jersey and

736
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: different combination, different color scheme every week that I think

737
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: would just grind out the sale of gear for the NFL.

738
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: If you had the Bills in a different kind of uniform,

739
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: different color uniform every week, or the Colts or were

740
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: using a different color scheme and a different jersey type

741
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: every week, it would really generate a lot more sales.

742
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: And that's one thing I think the NFL does do well.

743
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: They don't allow these teams to cash in on fans

744
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: who happen to have money to buy every new jersey

745
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: that comes out. They they make these guys stay in

746
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: one jersey. They do. They are getting a little differently

747
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: like you have a throwback game, you have a color

748
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: rush game, and that's about it. You know, you gotta

749
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: be you gotta have your normal away and home jerseys

750
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: for the most part. And I think that's one place

751
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: you can point to and say, well, the league's kind

752
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: of passing up a chance to cash in a little

753
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: bit there. And I think it's a good thing. You

754
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: know what's coming too same. We'll talk with Paul Lucas

755
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: about this at one And I think it's already arrived

756
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: in the NBA corporate logos on game day uniforms, right,

757
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: don't they do that in the NBA. I heard Ralph

758
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: Wilson said one time. He says he thinks that that

759
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: NFL uniforms are jerseys, they're gonna turn into you know, nascars.

760
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna they're gonna be billboards. I mean

761
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: you look at you look at the h the Premier

762
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: Soccer League and all the huge the soccer leagues around

763
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: the around the world, different jerseys every game, and they

764
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: have a different advertiser every game. And it's I don't

765
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: know that the NFL ever get to that point. I

766
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: don't say never. They may, but it'll be only after

767
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: a long, long evolution to get there. I think it's

768
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: been in the NBA for a couple of years. Corporate

769
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: logos on NBA game uniforms can't be that far away

770
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: from the NFL. We'll find out. Bob and Cheekawago has

771
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the bills uniform Bob, what do you

772
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: got Hi, guys. I'm mad commy old fashioned. But when

773
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: I see the Chicago Beers, the Cardinals, the Cowboys, that

774
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: kind of team, I love the bells. Maybe because when

775
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, my dad took me to

776
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: my first game in the rock File. I like that

777
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: old style, you know, with the red buffalo. It's just

778
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: to me, is buffalo bells football? Think it older? I'm

779
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: older now, I have kids, and I still like the

780
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: old one because it just makes me feel football ish

781
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: or something man basy, but I like it. Yeah, I'll

782
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: tell you. You know what I was thinking while you

783
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: said that, and I get it. Bob, You're right. You

784
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: don't have to apologize for liking the old stuff. I

785
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: wish on the helmets with the throwback standing buffalo, that

786
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: the red buffalo was just a little bit bigger than

787
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: it is. It looks a little bit to me, like

788
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: a like a patch, a commemorative patch rather than a logo.

789
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: I want to I want the standing buffalo there. That's fine,

790
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: you can make it the same buffalo. I just don't

791
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: think it's ever big enough. And the charging buffalo is

792
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: really is much bigger, and I think it stands out more.

793
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I don't have a problem with it,

794
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: but I do think when they use that throwback, they

795
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: don't make that logo on the side big enough. Yeah,

796
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: it's the one way I would modernize the old throwback

797
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: standing Buffalo, thanks for a car. We're gonna take a break,

798
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: coming back with more. One Bills Live from One Bill's

Speaker 1: fun of the jets new uniform, but also got us

807
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: thinking about what changes would you like to see made

808
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bill's uniform? What do you think? Give

809
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: us a call? Eight three fifty to three one eight

810
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. On the tweet sheet,

811
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: Brian Greer tweets this in what changes would you like

812
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: to see made with the Bill's uniform? Brian Greer says,

813
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: I vote throwback. I'd love for them to play a

814
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: season in the uniform from the nineties would be like

815
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: a return to greatness. Side note, I really like the

816
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: Color Rush uniforms as a plan. B. Color Rush uniforms

817
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: seemed to be polarizing, don't they either love? Yeah, Yeah,

818
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: we've heard from both sides. Yeah, we've also got one

819
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: from Brandon Riley. Not that Brandon Riley. The current uniforms

820
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: are perfect. Don't fix it if it ain't broke, gotcha.

821
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the way I feel about it too. Yeah,

822
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: and every I got a lot of people are tweeting,

823
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: tweeting in two more red the end zones color Rush

824
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: for at least one game, maybe even red helmets. People

825
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: are missing the red end zones really. Yeah, I was

826
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: surprised by that they were read back in the day

827
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: when I played and I had you know, I gotta say,

828
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice. If that's a league thing, you know,

829
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: it might be a field thing that you cannot have.

830
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think about end zones around the league,

831
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: but maybe you can't have colored end zones in the

832
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: league just for TV purposes. I don't know. I don't know.

833
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: TV purposes are just uniformity that is weird. I don't know.

834
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: I haven't Yeah, I'll have to look into that because

835
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think now. You know, I can't even

836
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: picture it. Much like my career, I can't even picture

837
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: what the end zone. End zones around the league once

838
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: in a while, yeah, when I was running through on

839
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: a kickoff touchback. But yeah, I don't know if it's

840
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: a league thing or not. I'm sure. I mean, the

841
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: league has rules about everything is so complicated. But no,

842
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe there is a rule against colored end zones.

843
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: There's a call from Tony and Rochester. Hello Tony, Hey

844
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: guys again, I like the throwbacks. I like the white throwback.

845
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: That's that's an outstanding uniform. But one one question I had,

846
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: and John you may know this is why don't the

847
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills under regular uniform where they aid the old

848
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: AFL patch like Kansas City does. I think that's classy

849
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: and I think it means a lot to the history

850
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We wouldn't be here without the AFL,

851
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: So why isn't it recognized on our uniforms? You know,

852
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City wore it last year, right, But if they

853
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: always done it, no, I've seen they headed on this

854
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: year too. I think they've always worn it. I don't

855
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: know if they have always warned it or not. That's

856
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: a good question, and I don't know that. Um, yeah,

857
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why that would be. But that's a

858
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: good question. That is a good question, and I don't

859
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, okay, I see. But I think

860
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: there's a real reticence by the league to have teams

861
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: wearing patches on their jerseys or on their um uniforms.

862
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: They get stickers on their helmets for you know, the

863
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: the death of a of a someone near and dear

864
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: to the league or to that franchise. Certainly it happens

865
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: on occasion. Once in a while, you'll see teams putting

866
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: a logo on like a you know. Uh, the Bears

867
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: had George Hallis's initials on their on their sleeves one year.

868
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't know they still do that. The league is

869
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: very resident. We've been reticent. We've been talking about they

870
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: don't want to start cluttering the uniforms up. They like

871
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: them clean and sharp, uh, And they don't want to

872
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: put stickers and patches and stuff on them, even when

873
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: you put we had the seventy fifth anniversary of the

874
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: NFL the year I play this year. They'll do that

875
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: around the league and that's it. They want to keep

876
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: the jerseys pretty pristine. So I think that's one thing

877
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: that's working against having an A see patch on your jerseys.

878
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: I've been feeling our guested one is going to know

879
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: some of these answers, so we'll make sure to ask

880
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: him some of these questions. That's what Paul Lucas does

881
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: for a living, is follow uniforms, not just in the NFL,

882
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: but all over professional sports. Scott on the line in Rochester. Hello, Scott, welcome,

883
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. How are you doing, Fello good? Yeah,

884
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about the jersey combinations. I'd like

885
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: to see, uh maybe that blue dazzle cloth pants with

886
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: the white jerseys, and I don't know, I'd like to

887
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: see the red helmet come back, maybe once twice the season.

888
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: Maybe even throw the old white standing buffalo on there.

889
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: Just think it would look really sharp. But you know

890
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: what I got to say, uh, Scott, I'd never like

891
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: that red helmet with the white standing buffalo. I just

892
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: that didn't do it for me, you know the one

893
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking. I know I wore it, did you? What

894
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: did you think of it? It doesn't work on radio,

895
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: okay you No, I didn't like it. I didn't like it.

896
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: It looked, but yeah, I didn't like it. Now what

897
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: a player say? Thank you very much, got for your call?

898
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: What a player saying. You're in the locker room Sunday morning,

899
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: you're playing kicking off at one, and you start to

900
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: strap on some of these uniforms, including that one that

901
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: you might not like. Is it all? Uh, like just

902
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: a call? If you don't know, if you don't like,

903
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like it's like that, and there's always somebody in there.

904
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I think it's it's better, man, this

905
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: is awesome. And they always feel good. But there's a

906
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,200

Speaker 1: and he said, what do you think you know? Um?

925
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,800

Speaker 1: who was never really built like a Greek god, was

927

929
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: uniform and so just as a as a kind of

999
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: to see made with the Buffalo Bills uniform? The Jets

1000
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: have already had a pretty major overhaul of their uniform

1001
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: that came last week. On the line with us now

1002
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: the guy who knows everything there is to know about uniforms,

1003
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: the found or the founder and editor of UNI Watch.

Speaker 1: ESPN columnists Happy to have Paul Lucas on the line

1005
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: with us. Paul, John Murphy and Steve Tasker up there

1006
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Thanks for joining us. Glad to be there.

1007
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: Although I should probably say, in the interests of full disclosure,

1008
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: I am no longer an ESPN columnist. Starting to hear that,

1009
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: but that's okay, and you can say that was the

1010
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: ESPN columnist for fifteen years, so that still counts for something. Yeah,

1011
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: you go about I was trying to explain to somebody, Paul,

1012
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: I have a theory about uniforms and interesting uniforms. I

1013
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: think it almost corresponds with free agency in professional sports.

1014
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: Now that players move around as freely as they do,

1015
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: people seem to cling to uniforms, maybe more than they

1016
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: ever have when they follow sports right wrong, What do

1017
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: you think I would say that's part of it, although

1018
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: I have to say, like you know, growing up in

1019
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: the seventies and early eighties, like I did, I was

1020
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: totally into uniforms and that was a free free agent era.

1021
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: But there's definitely that's part of it. The players move

1022
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: back and forth a lot that Yeah, the uniform is

1023
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: really all you got, And that's the old Jerry Seinfeld

1024
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: joke right about rooting for laundry. The players come and go,

1025
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: but we keep rooting for that uniform. Yeah, well, what

1026
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 1: can you tell us about the process that the Jets

1027
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: had to go to and through and also the Bills

1028
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: in the past have done and every team who's changed

1029
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: uniforms of us has had to go through this process

1030
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: that the NFL requires. How easy or difficult is it

1031
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: for teams to change their uniforms? You know, once upon

1032
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: a time, you know, back in the sixties, seventies, even

1033
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: as far into the eighties, it wasn't that involved of

1034
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: a process. A team could just basically hire a local

1035
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: design firm or an advertising firm to come up with

1036
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: a new logo, a new uniform set. They'd run it

1037
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: by the league and the league's properties division, and they

1038
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: would sign off on it and boom, you're done. And

1039
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 1: that could be done. Really you could you could announce

1040
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: in the you know, the spring or the off season

1041
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: of a given year that you're going to have a

1042
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 1: new uniform that that coming fall. Nowadays, for a variety

1043
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: of reasons, it's a much more involved process. And so

1044
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: the Jets they worked with Nike, which is currently the

1045
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: NFL's uniform outfitter. The last time the Bills did a redesign,

1046
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: which I believe it was twenty eleven, they worked with Reebok,

1047
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: which was the outfitter at the time. But the Jets

1048
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: did basically a two year process, which is pretty standard

1049
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: now for any NFL team, you sort of start the

1050
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: ball rolling, and you can have a finished product, a

1051
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: finished design in about two years. And the reason it

1052
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: takes that long is not just because they put so

1053
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: much more research and focus grouping and you know, trying

1054
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: out various prototypes and blah blah blah in terms of

1055
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: the design, but also because you have to clear out

1056
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: all the old retail product, all the merchandise from the

1057
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: supply pipeline, So you have to get that out of there.

1058
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: And you know, back again in the seventies and eighties

1059
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: on I mean to harp on that, but that market

1060
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: barely existed then. You couldn't buy a Bills jersey or

1061
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: Jets jersey or whatever back in nineteen eighty or nineteen

1062
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: eighty five, So that wasn't as much of a concern

1063
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: in terms of this whole process. How big a boost

1064
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: will the Jets get or the NFL get from one

1065
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: of their teams changing jerseys like the Jets did, isn't

1066
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: big boost financially or what? Well, the Jets will probably

1067
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: be one of the top selling teams next year, just

1068
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: because when whenever you have a team with a new uniform,

1069
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: that's one of the top sellers because all their fans

1070
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: go out and buy the new jersey. That doesn't necessarily

1071
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: mean everyone likes the new jersey, but they feel in

1072
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: any cases an obligation to have the latest attire. So

1073
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: the Jets will probably be you know, they'll get a

1074
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: boost out of it, but you know, merchandising sales, while

1075
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: it's a nice little revenue stream, it's certainly nothing compared

1076
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, if you consider the ocean of revenue that

1077
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: the NFL produces. Jersey sales and things like that are

1078
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: basically like a stream, I would say, compared to the

1079
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: overall ocean, you know, which comes from things like broadcast

1080
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: rights and ticket sales and things like that, personal seat

1081
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: licenses and blah blah blah. But I mean, the Jets

1082
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: will get a little a little boost out of it,

1083
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: And what they're really hoping, as so many teams do, is,

1084
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: you know, from a design standpoint, the Jets they didn't

1085
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: have a big problem, like you could really say it

1086
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: wasn't broke, but they fixed it anyway. You know, from

1087
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: a design standpoint, they had a pretty good looking design.

1088
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: They'd had it for a long time obviously, but it

1089
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a terrible design. But what they their real problem

1090
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: is that they are perceived as these lovable losers, or

1091
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: even unlovable losers. They've got an image problem that you know,

1092
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: that their fans are perceived self perceived as long suffering,

1093
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: and they're looking to turn the page, turn the corner,

1094
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: or whatever metaphor you want to make, and start a

1095
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: new era, you know, a winning era. And obviously a

1096
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: uniform can't do that all by itself, but it can

1097
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: be a sort of symbolic change, and that's what they're

1098
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: hoping for. On the line with Paul Lucas, they found

1099
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: their editor of UNA Watch talking about NFL uniforms. Paul, so,

1100
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: what do you make of the jets new look, new colors,

1101
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: even Gotham green and stealth black. What do you make

1102
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: of the Jets new uniforms? I love the green, and

1103
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: I got to say, green is my favorite color. It

1104
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: always has been. I wish there were more NFL teams

1105
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: that wore green, and so I do love the green

1106
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: they've chosen because the old green, especially on television, it

1107
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,479
Speaker 1: tended to look a little drab, almost like an olive drab,

1108
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: and so I totally approve of the new color. That's

1109
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: the good news. The bad news is that I think

1110
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: most of the rest of the design is not so great.

1111
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: I love the shell color, the helmet shell, you know,

1112
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: which has that that shade of green rendered in this

1113
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: sort of it almost looks like candy, you know, like

1114
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: a like a lollipop or something. It's a really nice

1115
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: looking shimmery green helmet. But the jersey with those sort

1116
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: of wings extending off the side, the use of black

1117
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: as a trim color and a face mask color, and

1118
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: then the black alternate unifor I mean, man, a black

1119
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: alternate uniform in twenty nineteen, like that was kind of tired,

1120
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: tedious gimmick, like in two thousand and four when teams

1121
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: were doing it, and you know, because everyone did it,

1122
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: like oh, let's you know, when in doubt, just come

1123
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: up with a black alternate uniform, and like, really, the

1124
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: Jets in twenty nineteen, like that that struck me as

1125
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: the worst part of the design. I would say it

1126
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: could have been worse. Like they didn't go with like

1127
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: a super gimmicky number font, and like the pants don't

1128
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: have like some ridiculous like lettering down the side of

1129
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: the pants like the Browns have done, so it could

1130
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: have been worse, but it could have been better too.

1131
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: Putting the city name New York across the chest had

1132
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people telling me, you know, like my

1133
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: readers and people on social media saying, you know, that

1134
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: looks like a college move, you know, or a high

1135
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: school move even to put to put the city name

1136
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: on the chest like that, that's just not what we

1137
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: do in the NFL. And in fact, I mentioned the

1138
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: Browns a second ago. The Browns did that in twenty fifteen.

1139
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: They put Cleveland on the front of the jersey, and

1140
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: the reaction to that has been really negative, and that

1141
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, in twenty twenty, the Browns were pretty much

1142
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: said they're going back to their more old school. Look,

1143
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're coming out with a new uniform set

1144
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: and they haven't said exactly what it's going to be,

1145
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: but they've they've given pretty strong hints. Well, you would

1146
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: get objections to folks up here in Buffalo to New

1147
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: York on the front of the uniform. They don't play

1148
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: in New York exactly. That's the other thing is that

1149
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: they don't practice in New York. Right, that's a New

1150
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: Jersey team. Obviously, they do represent the New York metro

1151
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: area and all that. But I understand that that's a

1152
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: store point in Buffalo, and it's an understandable store point.

1153
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: Totally totally get it. And even why not if he

1154
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: has to have lettering on the chef, why not just

1155
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: floot jets? You know, an interesting series of choices there.

1156
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: So I can't say I'm in love with the design. Now,

1157
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, Paul. Paul Lukea is

1158
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: our guest from Union Watch, about the Jets helmet and

1159
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: the logo on the helmet. I maintained and I did

1160
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: with Steve here last week, if you put yourself in

1161
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: a room and or put ten NFL fans in the

1162
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: room and said, draw me a picture of what the

1163
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: Jets helmet logo looks like, you might get eight or

1164
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: nine different logos. And I'm not talking about new design.

1165
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm talking about over history. I don't think anyone really

1166
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: knows what a Jets helmet is and what it's supposed

1167
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: to be and what the classic Jets helmet is. Am

1168
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: I wrong? I don't know about that. I mean, I

1169
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: think most people understand that it's you know, it's a

1170
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: football shape or you know, sort of oval shape that

1171
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: evokes a football, and it's got you know, the Jets lettering,

1172
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: and it had it was a little cluttered because I

1173
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: had that NY lettering in the background, which they've eliminated.

1174
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: And I do think the new one's a little bit cleaner,

1175
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: but I was a little surprised they didn't go to

1176
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 1: something a little more like the New York Sack Exchange

1177
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: era helmet, you know, the one with the sleeker lettering,

1178
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: which was also on a green helmet, Like they're not

1179
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: going to have a green helmet, and I'm not. I

1180
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: don't think the new helmet logo is awesome, but it's serviceable,

1181
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: it's functional, It'll be okay. What's interesting to me is

1182
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: that they didn't say anything about a throwback uniform. And

1183
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: what they are clearly primed for now that they've gone

1184
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: back to a green helmet is that they can do

1185
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: that New York Sack Exchange uniform, you know, the Joe

1186
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: Cleco Mark Astino era team. They can do that as

1187
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: a throwback now because they have a green helmet that's

1188
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: ready to go, they can just peel off the decal

1189
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: for the current logo and put on that Sack Exchange logo.

1190
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: And I have a feeling. And I say this without

1191
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: any inside knowledge. I don't know for a fact they're

1192
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: doing it. It's not like I'm not trying to hint

1193
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: at something that I know, because I don't know. But

1194
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: it seems like that would be a natural mood for

1195
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: them to do, to do that as a throwback. What

1196
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: do you think about the chrome looking green helmet. It

1197
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: seems to me when you get into a sunshiny game,

1198
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: those things really do. I mean, that's like a almost

1199
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: like a mirror. Have you been out to the middle ends,

1200
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: I know what you mean, Right, they don't get that

1201
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: many sunny days. Well, they're gonna get a sunny day

1202
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo because it's sunshines here all the time,

1203
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: and also in New England too, right, so it's probably

1204
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: their division. It's not really chrome, it's it's there's like

1205
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: a there are chrome helmets out there more like in

1206
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: all on the college level. It does have a shimmery

1207
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: feel to it. But I actually I'm fine with the

1208
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: helmet show. I like the helmet shel the Jets new show. Yeah,

1209
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: on the line with Paul Lucas from You to Watch

1210
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: talking about the Jets uniform. Now let's turn our attention

1211
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: to the hometown here uniform. The Buffalo Bills uniform no

1212
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: change this year. A lot of us and again, you know,

1213
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: you know where we're coming from here, Pap and a

1214
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: lot of us believe the Bills might have one of

1215
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: the best classic looking everyday Sunday game day uniforms existing

1216
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. What are your thoughts on

1217
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: the Bills uniform. I actually completely agree with that. I

1218
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: think the Bills are one of the better looking teams

1219
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: in the league right now, and they went from being

1220
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: one of the worst looking teams during what I like

1221
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: to call the Bills Scuba era or Scuba period, where

1222
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: they would wear the Navy over Navy had that weird

1223
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: piping on the jerseys that's sort of like bright blue

1224
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: piping on the Navy dar. I hated that look. I've

1225
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: also never really liked the red helmeted era of the Bills.

1226
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: I always thought, and you know, I know the whole

1227
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: story of Joe Ferguson and changing the helmet color and

1228
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: all that, but I always liked the Bills better with

1229
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: white helmets, and when they went back to that, I

1230
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: thought it looked great. I think right now they are

1231
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: one as you said, one of the better looking teams

1232
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: in the league in terms of a classic look. I

1233
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,919
Speaker 1: think one thing they could do, and I'm a little

1234
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: surprised they haven't done it yet, is when they wear

1235
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: their throwbacks, they wear a white throwback. I'm sort of

1236
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: surprised they haven't changed that up to do the blue

1237
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: throw back at home right. There is a little bit

1238
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: of a sentiment for that. I also, there's not been

1239
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: so many changes around the league that you know, the

1240
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: Jets were one of them. The Titans are also going

1241
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: to change their uniforms in twenty and eighteen. Have you

1242
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: seen any of that. I haven't seen what that's going

1243
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: to look like. They did they break out their new

1244
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: light blue jerseys yet not yet and when. What they've said,

1245
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: or what the owner has said, is that the numbers,

1246
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: the uniform numbers on that light blue jersey were hard

1247
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: to read. And the reality is that that whole number font,

1248
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: which they unveiled just this past season, you know, for

1249
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: that new set of uniforms for twenty eighteen, they said,

1250
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, it was supposed to look like chiseled stone

1251
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: or you know, like when you're when you've got a

1252
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: Greek statue and you're like carving the letters at the

1253
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: base of the statue or something like that. That's that's

1254
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: what the numbers are supposed to look like, which is great,

1255
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, on a statue that's fitting there, and not

1256
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: so great when you're you got it on fabric on

1257
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: GUIDs who are running around, moving around, stretching, you know, jumping, etc.

1258
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: And it's a terrible font and it is hard to read,

1259
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: and it was hard to read when they were just

1260
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: standing still, and it's yeah, they've they've got problems there.

1261
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad at least they realized that at least on

1262
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: that one jersey, the blue jersey, where I guess the

1263
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: contrast was not as strong as on the others, and

1264
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: so that was the most problematic one. And they are

1265
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: going to sort of beef up the size of those

1266
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: numbers Blue jersey, And I mean given credit at least

1267
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: for recognizing the problem and addressing it, but you know,

1268
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: they really should have recognized it before that uniform ever

1269
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: hit the field. Well, let me go back to one

1270
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: Bill's question for you, and that's the helmet charging buffalo

1271
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: standing red buffalo, one of them obviously emblematic of the

1272
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: AFL teams of the nineteen sixties. The other one is

1273
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: the new one. What do you think of the standing

1274
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: red buffalo? How often should the Bills use that? And

1275
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: how recognizable is that around the NFL. I gotta say

1276
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I love both those helmets. I'm a big fan of both.

1277
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: As long as the charging one is on the white helmet.

1278
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I never liked it, as I said, on the red uh.

1279
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: In terms of being recognizable, I think they're both you know, considered,

1280
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, very familiar icons throughout the NFL. And I

1281
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: think the way the Bills happen now where they do

1282
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: the throwbacks, uh, you know, twice a season, which is

1283
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: the most you're allowed us. Fine, I think, And I

1284
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: think that works fine. I'm sure there are some fans

1285
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: who would like to see them go back to that

1286
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: on a full time basis. I think I kind of

1287
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: like the current setup because I like I like the

1288
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: charging buffalo on the white helmet, and then I like

1289
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: the standing red buffalo too, So I'm pretty happy with

1290
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: the Bills from We're Happy too. I got one one question.

1291
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Name a team in the NFL that needs, really needs

1292
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: an update for their uniform? Uh? You gotta I would

1293
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: say like three or three or maybe four that are

1294
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: or right at the top of the list, or I

1295
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: guess the bottom of the list would be the Cardinals,

1296
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals who had such an identity crisis. They've

1297
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: got those weird sleeves with the odd stripes, that crazy

1298
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: pointy pants stripes. They've basically got an old school helmet

1299
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: complete with a gray face mask like grafted onto a

1300
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: new school, newfangled looking jersey and pants. It just doesn't work.

1301
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: The Falcons also could use some attention. They've got major

1302
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: problems with their sleds as well. At the jersey kind

1303
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: of looks like a clown costume. The Bengals have been

1304
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: have looked so bad for so long that you know,

1305
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: in here in the UNI Watch offices, we actually have

1306
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: an adjective when something's really bad. We refer to it

1307
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: at Bengalion and probably the Buccaneers with those uh, those

1308
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: uniform numbers that look like a digital alarm clock, you know,

1309
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: like that was that was kind of a disaster when

1310
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: they unveiled that a few years ago. Everybody's been making

1311
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: fun of it ever since then. They that, I think

1312
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: when their five year window opens up again, where because

1313
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't let you change more often than every

1314
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: five years. I suspect they'll make some adjustments to that.

1315
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: And what about the top of the list, Paul, who's

1316
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: got the what two or three teams have the best

1317
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: looking uniforms in the end, you mean, aside from the Bill.

1318
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put the Bills quite at the top now,

1319
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: but but they're you know, they're in the upper echelon.

1320
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm as I mentioned earlier, I love the color green,

1321
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: and so I've always loved the Packers uniforms. I think that,

1322
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: to me is like a classic NFL look uh, And

1323
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: I am basically a classicist. I like the Packers. I

1324
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: like the Steelers even with the I know some fans

1325
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: which they'd go back to the block numbers. I'm fine,

1326
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: that would be okay with me. But I also like

1327
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the newer italic numbers that they've had since the late nineties.

1328
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders. I'm a forty nine Ers fan,

1329
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: and I love the forty nine Ers since they went

1330
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: back to their classic look. Um. You know, I think

1331
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: in general with the NFL, uh, or football uniforms in general, right,

1332
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: because you don't have that much you can play with,

1333
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: because you've got big numbers that you have to have

1334
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: on the front and the back of the jersey, and

1335
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I that eats up a lot of real estate. And

1336
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: so if you start getting gimmicky after that, like you

1337
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: start looking like an arena team, right. And so most

1338
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: of the teams that where the uniforms work are the

1339
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: ones that have kept it pretty simple. Last thing, Paul,

1340
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: what do you do at union Watch? What do I do?

1341
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: What does your whole crew do? What do you guys

1342
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: do for a living? We do this, I mean I

1343
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: write about uniforms. Man, I've been doing this this mail

1344
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: make twenty years. I've been writing about uniforms. That's good stuff.

1345
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: It's amazing. And if uniwatch dot com is that the website? Okay,

1346
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: that's great. Hey, Paul, thanks for this, thanks having with

1347
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: me again. Thank you, thanks for having me on anytime. Guys.

1348
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Paul Lucas is founder and editor of union Watch unhyphen

1349
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: watch dot com. Who knew there was that much interest

1350
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: step and entry in uniforms? Did you know that? I

1351
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: did not, And I knew that he would have some

1352
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: detail about some of them, you know, because these there's

1353
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people that's their hobby and this more

1354
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: than that for him, So, um, I get it. Um,

1355
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: it's fun to think about. And you always have these

1356
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: magazines or websites or whatever. They'll put out new uniforms

1357
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: and I think the team would look great in this

1358
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: one and say, you know it's a little it's it's gimmicky.

1359
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: I want. Yeah. I wonder how generation loot it is,

1360
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if younger people like what

1361
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: he described as what arena football type uniforms or maybe

1362
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now have. Now you know

1363
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. I wonder if young people prefers. Somebody's

1364
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: got to like it, because they do, they just don't like, Okay,

1365
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: make this up, see what you think? Right? They go

1366
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: focus groups, they talk to people. I remember when some

1367
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 1: of these teams when they put their jerseys together, they're

1368
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, how does it look? How will

1369
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: people will they wear it out with their genes when

1370
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: they're going out places. Right, It's all part of the

1371
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: part of the equation. Are they gonna like it when

1372
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: they're wearing it away from the stadium, or we're gonna

1373
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: have more people wearing our jerseys than anybody else because

1374
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: it looks great with Jens, that kind of thing goes

1375
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: into the equation. Focus groups think about it. They ask

1376
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: them specific questions about the jerseys and stuff, and as

1377
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: you said, stuff you kind of don't think about. The

1378
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: font that they use for the numbers is a huge concern. Yeah,

1379
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: and some teams just kind of, you know, they want

1380
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: to try something and sometimes it doesn't work. Paul said,

1381
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: the financial incentive to change your uniform, get a new uniform,

1382
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: it's not that great in the big picture. Obviously, the

1383
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: NFL is is collecting millions of dollars in television revenue,

1384
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: and yet it must mean something right to these teams.

1385
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: What other motivations could Could a teams uniform really change

1386
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: the image of the team, Like more people will like us,

1387
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: more people will watch us on TV if they like

1388
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: our uniforms. Do you think that could actually happen? I

1389
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: think it has more to do it inside the building.

1390
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: The guy's liking the new jersey, it's like, yeah, this

1391
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: is gonna you know, it's giving you an upbeat. It's like,

1392
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, new code of paint, what I don't know?

1393
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: New equipment, you know, that's what's new gear, and you know,

1394
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: always gives a little bounce in your step when you

1395
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: got a new suit or something on, right, So I

1396
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: guess it's the same thing. Okay, I never I don't

1397
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: really remember what we did. I wore those throwbacks with

1398
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the white standing buffalo on the red helmet against Denver

1399
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: in one throwback game in what was then rich Stadium,

1400
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Okay here, yeah, on like a Sunday night game or something.

1401
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I had forgotten about it until I

1402
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: saw a picture of highlight. I was like, what is

1403
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,919
Speaker 1: going on with that? You know it looked awful. Yeah,

1404
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: it looked awful. But they couldn't switch helmets out. We

1405
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: couldn't go back to the white helmets. I mean, nobody's

1406
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna spend, you know, fifty thousand dollars for fifty new

1407
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: helmets or sixty new helmets for one game. It's stupid.

1408
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: So they just said, at let's just keep the red

1409
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: ones and put a white standing but you know, just

1410
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: reverse it. So I just did it strictly for economics. Hey,

1411
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Bills uniforms, What do you think what changes would you

1412
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: like to see made with the Bills uniforms. They're not

1413
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: changing anything. We don't have any insight intel on that,

1414
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: but just getting your opinions on this What changes would

1415
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: you like to see made with the bills uniforms? On

1416
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet? From Evan Struther's pretty specific here October

1417
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: twenty four, nineteen ninety three, he writes, bills versus jets,

1418
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas, all whites, red helmets, red sox, red accessories, gloves, towels, etc.

1419
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Super sharp, super bright would look great in high definition.

1420
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: That guy's got it down. Okay, it was exactly what

1421
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: he's looking for. We're talking about it. He's talking about

1422
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era bills uniforms, right with the helmets,

1423
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: the red helmets that get kind of red sod grades

1424
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: here in red sox. They look good. They look good

1425
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: in what we can see on video. Looks good when

1426
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Bruce is throwing Richard Todd on his head. But yeah,

1427
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: and Darryl Talley going down the sidelines with an interception, Yeah,

1428
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: it does look good. I'll say that you should be

1429
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: red stripe on the pant though, too. Right. What is

1430
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: that blue that's blue with it's red with two blues

1431
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: on the outside. Yeah, we're looking at it on TV

1432
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: or for all our radio listeners. Yeah, there was something

1433
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: about it. It looked good. I remember thinking that one

1434
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: time when I saw our guys coming out of the tunnel,

1435
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 1: I was heard or whatever, maybe I was maybe I

1436
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: was playing. But they come out and I was like, man,

1437
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that looks really good with the red sox at the

1438
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: bottom and the red helmet at the top, and this

1439
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: all white on white with those blue numbers, it's pretty sharp.

1440
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Pretty sharp look. One more from the tweet sheet from

1441
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: Brian Cook. I'd like to see us in all blue

1442
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Color Rush replacement or blue jerseys on red pants. Did

1443
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: you read this already? Blue jerseys? I don't know about that.

1444
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: The helmets are good as is. I'm really not a

1445
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: fan of our current Color Rush uniforms, but I'm one

1446
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: of the eight percent of men with red green color

1447
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: blindness issues. That's a factor, right. It was when the

1448
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Bills and Jets played in New Yorker a couple of

1449
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: years ago. That's a factor. I don't know what blue

1450
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: would look like on top of red. Blue jerseys on

1451
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: red pants look high school? Yeah? Would not look right? Yeah?

1452
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: And how about Paul's complaint? I guess about the Jets

1453
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: New York on the front, it does kind of look

1454
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: like a college or high school at least right, I don't.

1455
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't have a you know, I mean, I get it.

1456
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. I kind of

1457
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 1: like it because if you wear that thing somewhere, and

1458
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: of course, if you're New York, peoplere gonna say it

1459
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: must be a Jets unif that's a Jet uniform. But

1460
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: having New York, you know what, what would you think

1461
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: if the Bills, if the Bills put Buffalo across the

1462
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: top of their numbers, I don't like. Yeah, I don't

1463
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: need that. No, and again, they don't play in New York.

1464
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 1: They don't practice in New York. And I don't know

1465
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: about that. I know, I don't care where they play

1466
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: in practice. But to put New York on your uniform,

1467
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: do you ever get to New York? I mean the

1468
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: Bills might as well put you know, Toronto on there.

1469
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Wat you wash your We're

1470

Speaker 1: would you like to see made to the Bills uniforms.

1483
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,920

Speaker 1: How are you great? Dan? Thanks? Great? Um. I would

1486
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: like to know uh as uh Steves there when he

1487
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:24,719
Speaker 1: has the church and the standing Buffalo. As for the Buffalo,

1488
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: just the city that that was nice. I never thought

1489
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: of it like that, but that's great and hopefully to

1490
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: make it the Hall of Fame. But uh, Murph, how

1491
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: about you said Buffalo is the only one with the

1492
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: city on it? How about uh? I know I'm just

1493
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: teasing you here, but the giants have New York on

1494
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: the side of their helmets and green Bay has the

1495
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: G on there, yeah yeah, and San Francisco has s

1496
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: SF or whatever, so yeah, better you know what those

1497
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: are letters. I mean, I may as well say giants

1498
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: on the side like they used to as well. But

1499
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: there's no other team that lends itself to that word

1500
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: in their town name of their town, like that symbol,

1501
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: that standing buffalo. I just think it's awesome. I think

1502
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: it's a great gift. Yes it is. It's it's very good.

01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: in Niagara Falls. Hello, Curtis. Hey, what's up? Murk, how

1506
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 1: you're doing? Okay? Have you purthday? See? Thanks? Man? Hey, Umm,

1507
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: you don't remember this. In nineteen eighty the city of

1508
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo started to talking proud campaign up and if you

1509
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: go down Delaware you still see some of the signs

1510
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: with the wells of the city of Buffalo went from

1511
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the standing buffalo to that little running buffalo. That same

1512
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: year that the Bills went to the charging buffalo in

1513
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: their helmets? Is it really you sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

1514
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm pretty positive. Like eighties, that was the same year

1515
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,560
Speaker 1: we finally beat the Dolphins, we had naisons coach. We

1516
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: had a big win against the Ramps. I remember that

1517
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: because I really fired up about both of them, you know.

1518
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was like coordinated or

1519
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: just by coincidence. Well, you know what I want to Curtis,

1520
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I remember like O. J. Simpson running for two thousand

1521
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: and three yards and he had a charging buffalo on

1522
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: his helmet. Didn't he at least after that maybe seventy

1523
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: four seventy five, didn't the bills in the mid seventy

1524
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: switch to the charging buffalo? I think they did? What

1525
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: got that right here? Hold on? Oh, good point, you know,

1526
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: because I do remember that. I do remember that now

1527
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: with the charge buffalo. No ja's helmmel, that's right, yeah,

1528
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: not in seventy three, but I think seventy four was

1529
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: the year. Okay, my bad, then that's okay. Yeah, And yeah,

1530
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 1: and that was it was still on a white helmet though,

1531
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: and that's the difference, you know. Yeah, right, I know that.

1532
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: I think they made a uniform change in the eighty

1533
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 1: and eighty and actually the uniforms that they're wearing today

1534
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: is based on that uniform. Yeah, I think you're right, Yeah, yeah,

1535
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. I try, I try, guy.

1536
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Thanks day. Thanks And the difference they made seventy six

1537
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: through eighty and then eighty one through eighty three, the

1538
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: only difference was the socks. Really yeah, the socks went

1539
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: from the blue with the little small white and red

1540
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: stripes around it to the red solid band at the

1541
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: top of the calf. Okay, yeah, that was the change

1542
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: they made in that little era there. Eighty four to

1543
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: eighty five, they went to the eighty four. From eighty

1544
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: three to eighty fours when they changed the red helmet

1545
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: and the charging buffalo. Eighty six they went to a

1546
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 1: different stripe on the pants, on the white pant. They

1547
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: put a different stripe on the white jerseys. Eighty seven,

1548
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: eighty seven they changed something and I don't know what

1549
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: it was. Oh, the face mask is when they went

1550
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: to the white face mask instead of the blue face mask.

1551
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: We already had somebody saying, you know, they're great, it's

1552
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: all great. I wish they had a blue face mask.

1553
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: You know. It's all the details of people. We get

1554
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: a ton of feedback on this. I'm shocked. Why I

1555
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:54,839
Speaker 1: told you that ten o'clock this morning, Well, eleven anyway

1556
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: that people love talking about you. Yeah, I guess here's

1557
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:05,600
Speaker 1: a call from Josh and Elmira. Hello Josh, how you doing, John? Um? So,

1558
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: what I wanted to come in on was, you know,

1559
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: I am a kind of nerve when it comes to jerseys.

1560
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: But you mentioned earlier about the h doesn't really matter

1561
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 1: to the fans about the new jersey, and I think

1562
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: it does. I remember when um, the Bills came out

1563
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: with the new jersey's, you know, the new ones they

1564
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: were now. They mentioned, Freddie mentioned, Freddy Jackson mentioned when

1565
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 1: you look good, you play good. And for me as

1566
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: a fan, I was excited to see you know, my players,

1567
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: my team and the new jersey's on the field in

1568
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,560
Speaker 1: the stadium. UM. Samely with the color Rush, but I

1569
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: think it really does. So like with the Jets the Union,

1570
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: the UNI watch guy said, you know, it's a it's

1571
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: a new brand. They had that they had that image

1572
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: of losing the new jerseys bringing new hope. It's a

1573
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: new era, it's a new you know, this is the

1574
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: same Arnold era. This is the same Darnold jerseys. There

1575
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: is the same thing with with when Buffalo came out,

1576
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: and that's you know it gives a fans hope, They

1577
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: give us a reason to tune in the Sunday. This

1578
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: year is gonna be different because we look better. You know.

1579
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys agree, but that's how

1580
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I saw it. It had I had a we had

1581
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: a conversation about it. I mean, is it gonna really

1582
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: change the jets fortunes? Their new jerseys? And I said,

1583
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be about and you alluded to it a

1584
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: little bit about what the fans feel. It's gonna be

1585
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 1: a different feel for the team. They're gonna get used

1586
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: to these jerseys and for a minute. I don't know

1587
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: how long it's I don't know if it's gonna last

1588
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: anything more than a minute. They're gonna like those new jerseys.

1589
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at the they're gonna see the highlights,

1590
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna see the team playing on TV. They're gonna

1591
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: watch film every day, and they're gonna see themselves in

1592
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: these new look uniforms. And they're either gonna like it

1593
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 1: or not like it. But I think if they start

1594
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: playing well, there's no question that it. You know, everything

1595
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: spends positive and they're gonna think, wow, you know, these

1596
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: jerseys do help. You know, it is a new image.

1597
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: It is a new thing, and we're gonna it's gonna

1598
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: steam roll a little bit. If they win, people will

1599
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: watch no matter what they wear. That's true. You know

1600
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: what I mean? That is true. Hey, um, let's talk.

1601
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: I want to change subjects a little bit. And it's

1602
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: been kind of a not a dominant, a popular conversation

1603
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: point around the league all this week, and it's the

1604
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and the relationship between former head coach

1605
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and current quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and all related

1606
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: to an article written in Bleacher Report by a buddy

1607
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: of ours, his name escape Tyler Dunn, who kind of

1608
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: dove into the deep relationship, the deep seated relationship and

1609
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: some of the friction between Aaron Rodgers and coach McCarthy.

1610
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers took him to task. The writer, Tyler Dunn just

1611
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: yesterday about the article that he wrote, said it was

1612
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: not a rocky relationship. Micah Hyde got involved in this

1613
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: Bill's safety. Micah Hyde, who played up there in Green

1614
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: Bay before he came to Buffalo. You know that Micah

1615
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Hyde did a one on one interview on the NFL

1616
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Network and he talked about the rocky relationship that he

1617
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: saw while he played there. The rocky relationship between Aaron

1618
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Mike McCarthy in Green Bay, that stuff means

1619
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: means nothing to me. My experience with Aaron one of

1620
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: the best teamings I've ever had, just true competitor, and

1621
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff is uh is beyond me. Um. And

1622
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 1: I appreciate everything that he did for for myself, included

1623
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: just the talks that we've had and everything, and just

1624
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: a great football player and will be for for many

1625
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: years in this league. Is he a good leader, Michael?

1626
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I do. I believe. I believe he's a good leader

1627
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: on and off the field. Like I said, the talks

1628
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: that we've had, had nothing to do with football, have

1629
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: made me a better a better person. I'm a better husband,

1630
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: um and and you know, hopefully UH a great dad.

1631
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, I appreciate everything he's done for me.

1632
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: Did you see tension between him and McCarthy the album

1633
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: on Defense, Man, I don't see any of that. I

1634
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: let you go about my business every single day and

1635
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: and try to work and try to do what I

1636
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: can do what I can do to help my my

1637
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: room better. So I didn't see any of that Mica

1638
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: I found a nice convenient escape badge there to get

1639
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: out of that answer. But that was a non answer. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1640
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm non defense. I don't know, right, but look, I

1641
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 1: would say this is how much I respect Michaeh. Hide.

1642
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: If he sticks up for you, then I'm with you.

1643
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 1: And he stuck up pretty hard for Aaron Rodgers as

1644
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: far as being a good teammate. Not that the article

1645
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: is wrong. Who knows what Rodgers had going on with

1646
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. But the only thing I take from that,

1647
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: the most important thing I take from that, is that

1648
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Micah Hid thought Aaron Rodgers was a good teammate. And

1649
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: if you read the Bleacher Report item late last week,

1650
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: you might have questions about that. Mike Hid sticks up

1651
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: for him. So I'm good with that. I think that's

1652
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: that's probably the way it is. Yeah, it's it's a

1653
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 1: tough thing because you've heard me say my litmus test

1654
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: is to what you know, the public and the media

1655
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: have opinions about guys like like Antonio Brown and Terrell

1656
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Owens and all these guys that have had, you know,

1657
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe not the greatest, not the greatest reputation in the

1658
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: media or in fan bases after whatever has happened in

1659
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: the off season or in them in their career. My

1660
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: litmus test has always been what are their teammates say

1661
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: about him in the locker room? What are they like

1662
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: when they get in there and they can't hide who

1663
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: they really are. And the problem with this Aaron Rodgers

1664
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: stories that some of these stories came from guys who

1665
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: were in there. They came from teammates, and that's hard

1666
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: to reconcile from me. You get a guy like Michael

1667
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: now he's Mike is still in the league and still

1668
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: probably has relationships in Green Bay because that's where he

1669
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: started his group, played five years there. You know, it's

1670
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: hard for me to say, okay, if he goes to

1671
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: bad form, I sense a lot of I don't know.

1672
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: I just sense a lot of tension created by a

1673
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: quarterback who could have been better as a better teammate.

1674
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: Now what Michael Hyde said, notwithstanding I don't know Aaron Rodgers.

1675
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 1: He doesn't know me. But and I'm strictly looking at

1676
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: this from you know, five hundred miles away, and through

1677
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: all these articles and things that have been written. I

1678
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: know this though both things can be true. Aaron Rodgers

1679
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: can be a great teammate and can be a great

1680
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 1: player and be a great person. But when he turned,

1681
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 1: when he is being a professional football quarterback on an

1682
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: NFL team, on a franchise that rests largely on his shoulders,

1683
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: it's not all rainbow and sprinkles. Yeah, I think you're right.

1684
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: Both things can't be true. He can be a great

1685
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 1: teammate and have a contentious relationship with his head coach.

1686
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad. I don't think a contentious

1687
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: relationship with the head coach is all that uncommon. I

1688
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 1: don't these guys, don't you know, they're not having a

1689
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 1: few beers in the hot tub after practice. The head

1690
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: coaches and quarterbacks. I mean, they've got issues that go deep,

1691
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: and they've got things they both believe in, and they're

1692
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: both trying. But the thing that you remember is that's

1693
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: why these guys get along for like, like Aaron Rodgers

1694
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: and Mike mccarthy've gotten along for so long. They're both

1695
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: trying to get to the same place. That's all the

1696
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: tension that comes from. So I think there's a lot

1697
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: of relationships like that around the league that are tense

1698
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,759
Speaker 1: but productive. Mike I did not just talk about the Packers.

1699
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: In his appearance with Andrews Ciciliano on the NFL Network,

1700
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: he talked about the Bills too, Mike, I'd had a

1701
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: lot to say about the new additions the Bills have

1702
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: made to the roster through a free agency over the

1703
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: month or so. Here's what he said. It's awesome. I

1704
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: love seeing the guys that are gonna help us win

1705
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: ball games. You know, Frank Cord had been been doing

1706
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: it for a long time. We're excited to see what

1707
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 1: his experience could bring to a football team. And the

1708
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: receivers that we're putting around Josh Allen, you know, with

1709
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: the arm that he has and he's only gonna get better,

1710
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and you know the weapons that he has, we're excited.

1711
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 1: We are often is gonna bring. And you know, the

1712
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 1: offensive linemen having eat Day gains back. You know we've

1713
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: had him before, and uh, you know, we love it

1714
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: he brings to our football team. So we're excited we

1715
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: can do in the draft and we're gonna keep building

1716
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: from there. All Right. You guys got a taste of

1717
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs a couple of years ago. Obviously, last year

1718
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: took a step back. The Patriots Mica have won this

1719
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: division ten consecutive years. Last time they didn't, you were,

1720
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: I think, by by math, like seventeen or eighteen years old.

1721
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Although I'm bad at Matthie, what's it gonna take for

1722
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:55,560
Speaker 1: somebody else to win this division? Um? You know, I

1723
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: think it's consistency. I think that that's what the you know,

1724
01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: the Page has been able to do for so long,

1725
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: and whether it's the head coach, the quarterback, you know,

1726
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: the guys around them, they've just been consistent and that's

1727
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: what you know, everyone else in the division is trying

1728
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: to do. You know, the guys that you said the

1729
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: past ten years that have have have won a division

1730
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: and we're trying to continue to build. You know, we

1731
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: got a taste of it um a few years back

1732
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo and like you said, last year we

1733
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: took a step back, but we're trying to consistently get better.

1734
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: And I feel like with with Sean and Sean McDermott

1735
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: were doing that. You know, he has his team headed

1736
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 1: in the right direction and the guys are that in

1737
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: a locker room, are willing to work, and you know

1738
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: that's all we can do, all right. Michael Hide on

1739
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: the bills where they're headed Michael Hide on NFL Network.

1740
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: He was also asked about Sean McDermott, the two of

1741
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,600
Speaker 1: them going into their third year in Buffalo. McDermott as

1742
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: head coach. Michael Hyde has Safety and he was asked.

1743
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: Mike Hyde was asked if things will come together this

1744
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: year for the Buffalo Bills in year number three. I do,

1745
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: I honestly do. I love what Um you know he's

1746
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: doing and the rest of the coaching staff is doing

1747
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: with this football team. You know, each and every day

1748
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: that we're in there, he's he's he's motivating us, he's

1749
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: telling us, you know that we can do it, and

1750
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of guys a locker room are

1751
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: believing we're getting around him, and we honestly believe that

1752
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: that we have a chance. So obviously it comes with

1753
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work. And that's what you know,

1754
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 1: Monday's for. We're gonna go, We're gonna start up and

1755
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: you know, have our conditioning attests into all that stuff,

1756
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: and from there it's the process begins. Like I had

1757
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 1: Bill Safety two years removed from his pro bowled appearance,

1758
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: getting set to come back here. Um over the course

1759
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: of this week now we're Wednesday today. There's a couple

1760
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: of it looks like maybe a couple of dozen players

1761
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: already back here working out Monday. Next Monday, the fifteenth

1762
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: is the first day of the voluntary offseason conditioning program.

1763
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: And it's gonna you know how it is, it'll be

1764
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: a different atmosphere around here when those players came in,

1765
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 1: when they get a look at that new weight room

1766
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: right around the corner thereby. Cutting on that weight room

1767
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: is like Friday, right tomorrow, it's a Thursday, I think. So. Yeah,

1768
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: they're cutting the ribbon on it. Two weeks ago, well

1769
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, I know, we were we were looking

1770
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: at I was like, they're gonna make it. They're not

1771
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna make that. Thing's not gonna be ready for the man,

1772
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,799
Speaker 1: oh man, you talk about it's ready. It looks great.

1773
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. This this the footprint here at one Bill's

1774
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 1: Drive has been enhanced so much over the past four

1775
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: or five years. It's pretty amazing. Um, I mean, the

1776
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: things they've got going in in this new performance center.

1777
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it was all it was so far,

1778
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 1: it's so far advanced from where I was for my career. Yeah,

1779
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: it's mind boggling. It is really mind boggling, and it's

1780
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 1: all about what you know, Well, it's keeping these guys

1781
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: on the field healthy. And that's amazing. What amazing, an

1782
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: amazing transformation that the league has gone through where they

1783
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: got facilities like this one. Now this is obviously it's

1784
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: brand new, state of the art, so you know, not

1785
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: everybody's going to get there at the same time. But man,

1786
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: oh man, how things have changed. It is awesome. Hey,

1787
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: we gotta get to a break. But do you have

1788
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: more to say about the Aaron Rodgers situation. I feel

1789
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: like I've left something. Well, you want to wait till

1790
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: after the break to do it, or to do it

1791
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: at all. We don't have to do it at all.

1792
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: It's it's we said it all. I mean, it's said

1793
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the guy doesn't have to be a sweetheart of a guy,

1794
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna going to you think you think

1795
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: there's everybody in Pittsburgh thinks. Do not think that. No,

1796
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: listen not. Peyton Manning probably doesn't get Christmas cards from,

1797
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, from Marvin Harrison, Right, Maybe I don't know.

1798
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's the way it is. Yeah,

1799
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: it's a job. You gotta do and you've got a

1800
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on you to perform, and you need

1801
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: guys around you there. So these quarterbacks they get out

1802
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: of big stick and start beating guys up with it

1803
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:37,599
Speaker 1: verbally and politically in the building. They put the screws

1804
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 1: on them, so they're not supposed to be like they're

1805
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be productive. Okay, a break, We're back with

1806
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: more One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This is

1807
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back, It's One Bill's Live. I'm

1808
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 1: John Murphy's The steep Tasker where you're until three. Coming

1809
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: up next hour, two o'clock. Dan or Latsky, former NFL

1810
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 1: quarterback now with ESPN. Believe he's still with the ESPN.

1811
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Their last guest, Hey did you see this on ESPN?

1812
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: And they was on a Cardinals are interesting see obviously

1813
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: because they have the first overall pick. We know that.

1814
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: But they open up their offseason, their voluntary offseason workouts today.

1815
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,640
Speaker 1: They have Kyler Murray coming in for a visit. I

1816
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: think today this week at least potential number one overall pick.

1817
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: In the meantime, in their offseason workouts, they open up

1818
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 1: with Josh Rosen as their number one quarterback. Now we

1819
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: know how these workouts go. They're not on the field

1820
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: doing any team work or any snaps as an offense

1821
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: or anything. But still, Cliff Kingsbury, the new head coach, says,

1822
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: on his depth chart, right now, Josh Rosen is number

1823
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: one at quarterback. Why wouldn't he be right? I mean,

1824
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: they have no other quarterback to supplant him yet. I

1825
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: do think there's a little bit of gamesmanship going on

1826
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals Zoe to get people thinking like maybe

1827
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: they do maybe they don't want to trade Josh Rosen.

1828
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Maybe we got to offer more than we think. Look,

1829
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: I told you this a month ago. The Cardinals are

1830
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: adamant about we're not taking a third round here for

1831
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: a guy who was tenth overall last year. So they're

1832
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 1: probably trying to get up somewhere in the second round,

1833
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: I would think. But it's pretty it appears as apparent

1834
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to, uh, they're gonna take Kyler Murray

1835
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: right with the first overall pick. Everybody expects that, right,

1836
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: you know. I yeah, if they don't get what Josh

1837
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 1: Rosen is worth, they've got to hang on to him.

1838
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: I think you can't do that to your franchise. If

1839
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 1: you don't know about him, if you can't find out

1840
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: about him before the draft, or if you can't watch

1841
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: the film or talk to people in the building and

1842
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: get a sense of who and what he is, if

1843
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna go a different direction at quarterback, you gotta

1844
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: get what you can get for him and get rid

1845
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: of him, or he's gonna hang it and let him compete,

1846
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: let him have a season, Let Kyler Murray sit behind

1847
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: him for a minute. You can't just let him go

1848
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: for nothing, right, you gotta hand round to you can

1849
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: need more than the third round, a round that's right

1850
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: for the tenth overall pick. That's right. It's gonna be

1851
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: interesting over the next few weeks here. It's no two

1852
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: weeks away, two weeks from tomorrow from round one of

1853
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: the draft, so Cardinals are approaching their day of decision.

1854
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: They could draft him, right, they could draft a Kyler

1855
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Murray and still keep a Rosen on the roster for

1856
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,640
Speaker 1: now anyway, But it's kind of an awkward situation, I

1857
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,679
Speaker 1: would think. I mean, even for Rosen's teammates, they're they're

1858
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: being quoted, as you know. David Johnson and running back

1859
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 1: told the Associated press. I like, Josh, I don't know.

1860
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a business, and we all know that.

1861
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you say when you don't know

1862
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: what to say. It's a business, right, Yeah, that would

1863
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 1: be an awkward meeting if Josh Rosen has to like

1864
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 1: go go pick him up at the airport or make

1865
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 1: yourself useful. Josh, Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be awkward. I

1866
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: think the whole situation. The sooner they move me on

1867
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: that probably the better. And I don't blame the Cardinals.

1868
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: They don't need to make a trade today, but they're

1869
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: approaching the decision here right because they're two weeks away

1870
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: from the draft, and the sooner they pull the trigger

1871
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: and make that decision, I think the better off everybody

1872
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: will be think about where what you and I would

1873
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 1: be thinking, or how important it would be if your team,

1874
01:29:55,760 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: your franchise is good top overall pick and they just

1875
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 1: took a guy in the top ten of the NFL

1876
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Draft as a quarterback and they're thinking about I mean, wow,

1877
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 1: you gotta you want to know what they want to do, right,

1878
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean right, yeah, nobody knows what the Cardinals want

1879
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 1: to do. They say, Okay, they gotta Josh Rosen. They're

1880
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: ready to move on with him. They think Kyler Murray's

1881
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: this guy. But are they gonna take Kyler Murray if

1882
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen's on their roster? I mean they're trying to

1883
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: get better right away? Am I not? Are they not right?

1884
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: They have to? I don't think. I don't know, because

1885
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just a huge waste of a couple

1886
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,439
Speaker 1: of big top and all the draft capital they took

1887
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 1: to get up to get Josh Rosen there, and all

1888
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: that goes to waste. And then this pick this year

1889
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray, I mean, he's not gonna come in

1890
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 1: and take the league by storm. I would think he's

1891
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna have some learning pains and some problems that he's

1892
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: got to deal with. And the team's not that good.

1893
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:58,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the same roster largely that got the

1894
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: first pick of the draft. I got a long way

1895
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:03,240
Speaker 1: to go. An interesting team with the first name. They

1896
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: didn't have very much money in free agency. Yeah, I

1897
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:09,760
Speaker 1: hear you, hey, dan Orloski. When we returned, more uniform talking,

01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 1: Help us finish off. We were having a conversation last

1952
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: hour Dan about the news out of Green Bay and

1953
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers versus Mike McCarthy. My buddy Steve here

1954
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: maintains and I agree with him that you know, Aaron

1955
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't have to be a warm and fuzzy figure

1956
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 1: in that locker room to be an effective quarterback. What's

1957
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: your take on that, having played a dozen years in

1958
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 1: the league at that position. Yeah, I mean that those

1959
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: guys playing quarterback in the NFL is such a unique

1960
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: position because if you look at really the big picture

1961
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: of it, you're one of thirty two of seven billion plus.

1962
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you are a rare person on the planet.

1963
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: And then when you're someone of the magnitude that Aaron is,

1964
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: you're one of the ten every year, one of the

1965
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: ten best, and he's in the conversation of one of

1966
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 1: the ten greatest ever, one of the five greatest ever.

1967
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 1: So when you put it into that spectrum, of course,

1968
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: he's going to have some things about him that are difficult.

1969
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,919
Speaker 1: That's what makes him great. He's going to be difficult

1970
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: to coach at times. Absolutely. I said this week, I've

1971
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: played with a lot of guys who are difficult and

1972
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: they stunk. Which one would you prefer the coach, the

1973
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 1: guy who's great and difficult, or the guy who does

1974
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: nothing for you wins wins wise and he's still difficult. So,

1975
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean those the it's a it's such a pressure

1976
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 1: packed so much asked role that I completely understand this

1977
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: guy not liking him, or this guy not liking him,

1978
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: But the guy's been the quarterback there for eleven years.

1979
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: Is to start in fourteen years in the organization, you

1980
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 1: don't hear many people come out and say bad things

1981
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: about him. I'm not surprised that a Greg Jennings or

1982
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Jeer Michael Finley don't like Aaron Rodgers. I don't. I

1983
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: also don't put any merit into what they say either.

1984
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 1: What do you think Mike McCarthy thinks about Aaron Rodgers?

1985
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 1: That relationship has been dissected as well. Yeah, I mean

1986
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: after yesterday or two days ago, when Aaron came out

1987
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: and said this, the things that he said, I think

1988
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's sitting back and probably going, you know what,

1989
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: Aaron's right. We had an incredible run and we had

1990
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of success, and we weren't supposed to have

1991
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 1: that success because Mike McCarthy took Alex Smith over Aaron.

1992
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 1: And so I think Mike McCarthy is sitting back and going,

1993
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: you know what, if Aaron's mature enough to take a

1994
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 1: step back and go we had we had a great run.

1995
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: We had our differences. We talked about it as adults

1996
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: and competitors and men, and we were able to achieve

1997
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: the things that we did. Mike McCarthy's got to be

1998
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:27,960
Speaker 1: sitting back going if he can do it, so can I.

1999
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: And that's a that's that's a great thing that you've

2000
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:34,759
Speaker 1: used the term. John used the term warm and fuzzy.

2001
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 1: Not No relationship is like that that that is successful

2002
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: long term. Every great relationship that does great things has

2003
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: those moments where Okay, is this gonna work or not?

2004
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 1: And the ones that continuously choose to yes, this is

2005
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 1: going to work are the ones that do become great.

2006
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,560
Speaker 1: So Mike McCarthy's got to be sitting back after what

2007
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: Aaron said and hopefully being very proud of what he

2008
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,919
Speaker 1: was able to accomplishing. Green Bay. We're talking with Dan Orlovsky,

2009
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 1: ESPN analysts and former NFL quarterback. I want to talk

2010
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: to you too, because you watched closely last year the

2011
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that got drafted, and now we've got, of course,

2012
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: as as as always, we've got another crop. Talk to

2013
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: us a little bit about not only Kyler Murray, but

2014
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:20,519
Speaker 1: also Dwayne Haskins and the rest of this crop of

2015
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming out. Is there any of these guys well

2016
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 1: other than the guy gets picked first, maybe Kyler Murray.

2017
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,679
Speaker 1: What do you think of these guys, Dwayne Haskins, Kyler Murray,

2018
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:33,600
Speaker 1: and the kid Drew Locke out of Missouri. Yeah. I

2019
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 1: love Kyler Murray. There's not a lot of things that

2020
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: you can point to in Kyler Murray's games. Now this

2021
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 1: is all done on a basis of I don't spend

2022
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 1: time talking with these kids, but when you just watch

2023
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 1: the guy play, there's not a lot in his game.

2024
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 1: If anything that you go m that's gonna hold him

2025
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: back or you know what, this is something that could

2026
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 1: be a major issue. Like he can throw it from

2027
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,720
Speaker 1: the pocket as good as anybody in this draft and

2028
01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 1: as good as really anybody that's come out of the draft.

2029
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: Like throwing from the pocket, whether it's decision making, whether

2030
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: it's anticipation, whether it's arm strength, whether it's velocity, whether

2031
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 1: it's ball placement, whether it's making all kinds of different throws.

2032
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: He does at a really high level. And then you

2033
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,760
Speaker 1: add that athletic says like I said this, if we're

2034
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: not gonna have if we're not gonna say Kyler Murray's

2035
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 1: the best player in this draft and the best quarterback

2036
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 1: prospect in this draft. We're doing it over two or

2037
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: three inches because if he was six foot two or

2038
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 1: six foot three, everyone would be drooling over him. He's

2039
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 1: that good of a player, and so it's a little

2040
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: bit of a no brainer. He goes number one. I've

2041
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:39,000
Speaker 1: said that since Kingsbury got the drop, because the talent

2042
01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 1: is just such an uncoachable thing. There's just not a

2043
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: lot of guys like them. And if he's got leadership

2044
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 1: skills and a good mannerism to him, you as an organization,

2045
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 1: you're going, Man, we lucked into this. Dwayne Haskins is

2046
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: a guy that I really like. You guys know how

2047
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 1: important brains are to me, Like, I really believe he's

2048
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: still got to have high level brain to be really

2049
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,640
Speaker 1: good long term in the NFL. He's very intelligent. You

2050
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,839
Speaker 1: could see him get to line of scrimmage and control

2051
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 1: stuff and change protections and throw hots, throws it very well.

2052
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 1: I guess the big concern would be I think I've

2053
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,719
Speaker 1: got two that are concerns. One, the Ohio State offensive

2054
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 1: line was really good pass pro wise. I never had

2055
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: to see him play really fast like fast where it

2056
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: happens to the NFL where it's like, oh man once

2057
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 1: or three real quick, and what does he do? What

2058
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: does he do in those moments of pressure or panic?

2059
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 1: And then he didn't stand in the pocket a ton

2060
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: last year and deliver the ball after a little bit

2061
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: of a movement like deliver it well where he oh,

2062
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 1: I got a slide to my left and here it

2063
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 1: comes a free runner and I gotta get this ball

2064
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: twelve yards downfield and complete and accurate. I didn't see

2065
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 1: a lot of that, and that would be something right like, okay,

2066
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 1: can we get better at this? Drew Lock incredibly talented,

2067
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: really difficult evaluation because Missouri's offense was so bland. It was, hey,

2068
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 1: here's a run has option or let's just throw a

2069
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 1: go route. But talented, accurate, strong arm, good athlete. I

2070
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 1: just don't know much about him from the from the

2071
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 1: neck up up in his brain. But you hear a

2072
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of things good about him. You hear a lot

2073
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: of things great when it comes to his leadership. So

2074
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys in there that that that

2075
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: certainly are going to be first round picks. Again. Back

2076
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: to Kyler Murray for a second, those two to three

2077
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 1: inches you talk about, those don't mean anything to you. No,

2078
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 1: not a quarterback fifteen years ago. Yes, this is why

2079
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't take hits like they used to. They don't

2080
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:36,719
Speaker 1: take the poundings like they used to. They're they're protected

2081
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: much more. And I'm in support of it because of

2082
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: what it does for the health of the position. But

2083
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 1: we don't see the You don't need to be that

2084
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: size anymore because of the wear and tear your body's

2085
01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna taken in two. The game space wise is so

2086
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 1: different because coaches are bringing space. Here's the thing when

2087
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: when we talk about a traditional just offensive line tackle

2088
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: to tackle and then we put a quarterback under center.

2089
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Back in the day fifteen twenty years ago, it was hey,

2090
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 1: let's take a five step drop or take a seven

2091
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 1: step drop. Well, naturally, the first thing that happens when

2092
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: the ball gets snapped is those two defensive ends attack

2093
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: those tackles, and that means my pocket that goes from

2094
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 1: six or seven yards wide automatically gets shrunk. If I'm

2095
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: just gonna go, hey, take a five step drop straight back,

2096
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:24,720
Speaker 1: that pocket is shrinking. So then the size does matter

2097
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 1: because I gotta be able to see over, guys, Now

2098
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 1: where we going. Okay, we're gonna play in the shock

2099
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 1: and a little bit more. Our offensive line's gonna be

2100
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: a little bit wider with their splits. We're gonna move

2101
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 1: the pocket. That starting point of it all a pocket

2102
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: that's six or seven yards wide because of the play

2103
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 1: action game or the space game. Once that ball gets snapped,

2104
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 1: I can actually expand my pocket. If I'm a good coach,

2105
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 1: I can make my pocket seven, eight, nine yards wide

2106
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: because of the certain movements that we use now with

2107
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 1: space that the size doesn't matter when it comes to

2108
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 1: he's got to find passing lanes anymore. So, No, it's

2109
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 1: not a concern of mine. Again, I have another question

2110
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,600
Speaker 1: for you about Kyler Murray, and that's his you know's

2111
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: maybe his future with Arizona. He's there on a visit.

2112
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 1: He's likely to be the first overall picked. Josh Rosen

2113
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:09,760
Speaker 1: is there now, is the nominal number one on the

2114
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: depth chart. Anyway, At what point, if at all, does

2115
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 1: that get awkward for Rosen or Kyler Murray or even

2116
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:19,759
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. Oh, it's been awkward since they hired Cliff Kingsbury.

2117
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, I just I can't imagine Rosen. This is

2118
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:25,840
Speaker 1: a big moment for Rosen, though, because there's all those

2119
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,640
Speaker 1: question marks and everyone's heard him of his maturity, or

2120
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: how did Kenny these guys gravitate towards him, or how

2121
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 1: he's going to handle the situation, does he love football?

2122
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: All those questions. It's a big, really really big moment

2123
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: because I still I firmly believe Kyler Murray's going one,

2124
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 1: and I firmly believe that someone's gonna call him a

2125
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: trade for Josh Rosen. But it's gonna be really important

2126
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: for him to handle it the right way, handle it

2127
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: with class and respect and you know, a high level

2128
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: of integrity to go that that was the situation. I'm

2129
01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:59,679
Speaker 1: moving on, or you know, they made their decision. I've

2130
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 1: got to handle my business. I still think very highly

2131
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: of him as a prospect. I still believe somebody's gonna

2132
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: go get a really good player, and it would be

2133
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: really important to see how he handles it moving forward

2134
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: to kind of change some of the narrative about him.

2135
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 1: How good do you think Josh Rosen can be? I mean,

2136
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:18,679
Speaker 1: I know you said that, and what do you think

2137
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: he's worth to the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, what are

2138
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: they going to be able to get for him? As

2139
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: this clock keeps ticking down, down, down further to the draft. Well,

2140
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: you guys have been around the NFL longer than I,

2141
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: and you guys know that the NFL does weird things

2142
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to quarterbacks. Like you, we just do

2143
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:39,160
Speaker 1: weird things. I will be shocked if Josh Rosen has

2144
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 1: not moved for at least a second round pick. At

2145
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: least a second And this is a kid who, if

2146
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,880
Speaker 1: he was coming out of the draft this year, would

2147
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: be in conversation for the one pick if it was

2148
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Let's say that. And if not Cliffs Kingsbury,

2149
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: the head coach, he was a top ten pick last year.

2150
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,840
Speaker 1: And this is the two things that have happened since

2151
01:43:57,840 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 1: he's come to the NFL. Don't look at what happened

2152
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 1: in Arizona last year. Tom Brady was a struggled there

2153
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 1: like it was a disaster. But we have heard this.

2154
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 1: This kid throws the ball as good as anyone we've

2155
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 1: ever seen that since he come in to the NFL.

2156
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: For NFL people say that, and he has as good

2157
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: He has the best NFL quarterback mind we've ever seen.

2158
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 1: Those are NFL people saying that, So what can like,

2159
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: how good can he be? I do know this, whether

2160
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 1: it's in Arizona or somewhere else, this will be his

2161
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 1: sixth coach in five years, six and five years like that.

2162
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 1: To do that to a defensive tackle is unfair. To

2163
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 1: do it to a quarterback, it's almost impossible. So I

2164
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: would love for him to go to a team that's

2165
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: just got some structure and some help. And what kind

2166
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 1: of player can he be? He could be a franchise quarterback.

2167
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 1: I have no questions about it if he's handled the

2168
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 1: right way. Yan Arloski, our guest from ESPN, a couple

2169
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: of just quick questions, were you Dan? And that's the

2170
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 1: side show that continues to emanate from former Steelers wide

2171
01:44:55,479 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: receiver Antonio Brown now attacking his former teammate Juju Smith Schuster. Um,

2172
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: those guys and they need to start playing, Antonio Brown,

2173
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 1: doesn't he like maybe talking lesson playing more practicing? Yeah?

2174
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,759
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, I mean I've been pretty

2175
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: outspoken about this. Uh you know I've said since day one, Um,

2176
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: ab did something you just don't do. You do not

2177
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 1: quit on your teammates. I don't care if you like

2178
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 1: every one of them or hate every one of them.

2179
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,639
Speaker 1: You do not quit. And what happened last year Week

2180
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 1: seventeen was he quit on his team in a meaningful game.

2181
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: For me, I don't want you as a teammate because

2182
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: I can't trust you. I don't care what you say

2183
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 1: or how good you are. What's transpired the past couple

2184
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:40,559
Speaker 1: of weeks is really disappointing because now he's done another

2185
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:42,680
Speaker 1: thing that you do not do to a teammate, which

2186
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,680
Speaker 1: is you you take shots at them, or you low

2187
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: blow them on a really critical and in a play

2188
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 1: that obviously you do wishes he could get back, which

2189
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,120
Speaker 1: is the fumble at the end of the year. Like you,

2190
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: you don't do that. You just do not. You don't

2191
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: see great players do that to other their teammates, And

2192
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: so I would never want to play football as they be.

2193
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: I do not trust them. I don't think he's a

2194
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,680
Speaker 1: good teammate, and I've been outspoken about that, and the

2195
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 1: fact that Juju had his back. And then you guys, remember,

2196
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: like I think two years ago, he hits Vontz Berfix,

2197
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like a payback hit against because

2198
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 1: Berfix knocked a b out And then Juju went after

2199
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 1: Berfiict as like, I got your back to my teammate thing.

2200
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,560
Speaker 1: I just I'm old school with my thinking. I know

2201
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: he's a great player, but at some point, if I'm

2202
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,680
Speaker 1: in the Raiders locker room right now, I'm looking at

2203
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: my other teammates like, do we just get dealt this?

2204
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Because I don't care how good you are. At the

2205
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, I have to be able to

2206
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: trust you. And so I think the Steelers made out

2207
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: on this deal. And I don't know if the Raiders

2208
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,759
Speaker 1: are going to regret it because the guy's production is amazing,

2209
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: but I want nothing to do with him. Yeah, how

2210
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 1: do you think it's gonna go? The Raiders aren't gonna,

2211
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 1: I think, turn it completely around this next year. I

2212
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be able to push for the playoffs,

2213
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:02,960
Speaker 1: gets to you know, go to the deep in the

2214
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 1: playoff run and the championship game, win a Super Bowl

2215
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:07,639
Speaker 1: that I don't think it's that kind of roster. Even

2216
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:11,120
Speaker 1: with the addition of Antonio Brown, And given that, how

2217
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 1: is he going to hold up on a season that

2218
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:16,759
Speaker 1: goes south? And particularly if his opportunities are much different

2219
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: than they were in Oakland or in Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah,

2220
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean the reality is in the NFL, winning doesn't

2221
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 1: cure everything. It covers everything. And this is probably you know,

2222
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 1: when it comes to the totality of the team for Pittsburgh,

2223
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 1: their worst year, you know, in the last five or

2224
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 1: six years, and so they weren't winning as much. So

2225
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 1: then all the darts start getting thrown and there's the

2226
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: winning is not covering anything anymore. And so he's now

2227
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: going to organization that hasn't had success a lot lately,

2228
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: and he's going to a place that as a head

2229
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 1: coach who's got a history of rubbing players the wrong way,

2230
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:54,280
Speaker 1: especially receivers with Keyshawn and then he's got a quarterback

2231
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:57,639
Speaker 1: that a butteret head coach, and they don't know that future.

2232
01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,760
Speaker 1: And so it's like there's a lot of parts. You know,

2233
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:04,080
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about the Browns and man, how are they

2234
01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:05,920
Speaker 1: going to handle it. I'm looking at Oakland going this

2235
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: could be disastrous, because you know, Ryan Clark of ESPN

2236
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 1: said the great thing said said hit it on head

2237
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 1: on yesterday. He said, everyone is starting to get to

2238
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 1: see the guy that's behind the smile, and we just

2239
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you don't see a lot of dramatic diva,

2240
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:31,519
Speaker 1: like everybody look at me receivers when they go from

2241
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 1: one place to the other. And it worked out well,

2242
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,599
Speaker 1: and I could see it blowing up. And and if

2243
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 1: they did off to a rough start, what you're gonna

2244
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:41,719
Speaker 1: do to Derek Carr, what you're gonna do to Gruden?

2245
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate it to go well. Dan. Last thing,

2246
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: we're two weeks from tomorrow around one of the draft.

2247
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 1: You got a sleeper or a favorite the guy keeping

2248
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: an eye on when the draft begins in a couple

2249
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 1: of weeks. Well, Stig good quarterback. I don't know if

2250
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:57,680
Speaker 1: he'll get into the first round, but I wouldn't be

2251
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,360
Speaker 1: surprised if he gets into the second. It's it's Jarrett

2252
01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: Stid him out out of Auburn. You know, when you're

2253
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 1: looking at all the quarterbacks and whatnot. His name is

2254
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: not getting thrown around early. But I will say this,

2255
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: talent wise, just throwing the football, he'll throw it as

2256
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 1: good as anybody coming out of this draft. Just arm strength,

2257
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 1: to accuracy, different kinds that throws, all that stuff, very

2258
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:22,560
Speaker 1: mechanically sound. He's Auburn's offense is painful to watch, Like

2259
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,679
Speaker 1: when It just comes from an evaluation. They run twenty

2260
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,639
Speaker 1: seven trick plays a game and then no one gets open,

2261
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,000
Speaker 1: no one is open, and so there's a lot when

2262
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: you watch him on tape, you go, I just have

2263
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 1: no idea what the point of that play is, what

2264
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:38,440
Speaker 1: he's being asked, and so it's a really difficult evaluation.

2265
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 1: But he can throw. He's a good athlete, he's very smart,

2266
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 1: and he will stand in there and take shot after

2267
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,479
Speaker 1: shot after shot and deliver the football. And that is

2268
01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 1: a very difficult thing to coach in the guys. So

2269
01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 1: he would be a guy that if I'm a team

2270
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 1: looking in the second round for a quarterback, I'm going, Man,

2271
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 1: if I can stash this guy for a year or two,

2272
01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: I might have stole some thinking for our next decade. Interesting.

2273
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that. Dan, thanks for this.

2274
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 1: Thanks Dan, I appreciate you guys. Have a great afternoon.

2275
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: Thank you. Dan Lantski, former NFL quarterback, does a great

2276
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 1: job now as a ESPN football analyst after twelve seasons

2277
01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 1: in the National Football League playing quarterback for four different teams.

2278
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 1: Really good points about Antonio Brown. You know, um, the

2279
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:22,799
Speaker 1: guy behind the smile. He's quoted one of his ESPN

2280
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:27,839
Speaker 1: teammates there. But yeah, look, you have the little dalliance

2281
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills that was back what May eighth

2282
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: or March eighth, and that's almost beside the point now.

2283
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 1: Even since then, I believe Antonio Brown has done more

2284
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 1: to further Sully his reputation as a as a good

2285
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 1: teammate and a guy who might help out a team

2286
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 1: that's that's trying to get to the playoffs. I think

2287
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 1: he's worse now than he was a month ago. He's

2288
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:51,600
Speaker 1: and he's thirty. He's gonna be thirty one season, and

2289
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: I just cannot I will be shocked if it goes

2290
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: out there and he has even three two or three

2291
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 1: good years for the Raiders, I just would be shocked.

2292
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 1: I think he's given most of his good years to

2293
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:08,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and Ben Roethlisberger is in large measure, And

2294
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, I feel this way. I think quarterbacks make receivers.

2295
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,839
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Derek Carr is not a good quarterback,

2296
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: but I know Ben Roethlisberger is. He can throw it,

2297
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 1: and he can throw it well, and he throw us

2298
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: it on time, and he gives you. Antonio Brown over

2299
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 1: the years he's gotten a lot of opportunities. I don't

2300
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be the same feel when he gets

2301
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: to Oakland. I don't think John Gruden is gonna bend

2302
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 1: over backwards to make sure Antonio Brown gets more than

2303
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:36,720
Speaker 1: his share of footballs. So I and I think he's

2304
01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:39,519
Speaker 1: had to have a hard time living with that. Find

2305
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 1: out before too long, we'll find out. Hey still to

Speaker 1: Lucas of uniwatch dot com on the show us back

2330

2331
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: about the Bills UNI uniforms. All day long. We've been

2332
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,680
Speaker 1: soliciting your opinions. Look, the Bills, as far as we know,

2333
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,680
Speaker 1: they have no plans to change their uniforms. But if

2334
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:16,240
Speaker 1: they did, what change it? Why? What's the matter with that? Yeah,

2335
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:18,680
Speaker 1: we kind of got sidetracked off the uniform everybody was

2336
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 1: we had some everybody was chiming, and we had a

2337
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 1: lot of calls. We had to get a lot of

2338
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: feedback and we had to kind of had to. We

2339
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,280
Speaker 1: had some great guests come on, so we had to

2340
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:27,120
Speaker 1: kind of get away from him. But we're back to uniforms.

2341
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:28,840
Speaker 1: What changes would you like to see made with the

2342
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 1: Bills uniforms? On the tweet sheet from I'm gonna make

2343
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: any changes, though you got to reiterate that because that's

2344
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: crazy From Bob, he says more use of the color rush.

2345
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 1: No real change is fine as they The only thing

2346
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: is a small tweet change the face mask to white

2347
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: or blue instead of gray. Man, if you woke me

2348
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and said what

2349
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: color is the Bill's face mask? I wouldn't be will

2350
01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 1: answer that question, Steve, I wouldn't. You're not passionate enough.

2351
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: I guess not. Dennis Men's tweets this, and I like

2352
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:58,760
Speaker 1: the nineties Bills throwback idea. I would also like a

2353
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,600
Speaker 1: blue face mask with our helmet. A new idea is

2354
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 1: to introduce a dark brick red to go along with

2355
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:06,200
Speaker 1: a strong blue, maybe at a silver color to honor

2356
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty Bills team. Do you ever see the

2357
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 1: Bills a nineteen sixty uniform? All silver. Looked like Detroit

2358
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: Lions silver silver helmet, no logo numbers on the helmet.

2359
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:17,799
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. But that thing that he just described

2360
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 1: looked like that. It sounds like the Jersey Day War

2361
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 1: between O three and OH ten with the strong blue. Yeah,

2362
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: the strong dark red dark never had two different colors

2363
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: of red on it. Or I didn't like that two

2364
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 1: to ten didn't like that uniform. I remember when they

2365
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:36,480
Speaker 1: unveiled it. Didn't like it. Then either. M Ryan Stack

2366
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 1: tweets this in I like the simple, clean looking uniforms.

2367
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: A lot of new uniforms look like made up football

2368
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 1: teams from movies or uniforms you'd make up in the

2369
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:47,840
Speaker 1: Madden video games. You agree with that. I don't think

2370
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 1: NFL uniforms look like that. No, you can tweak it

2371
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 1: too much. You put all the racing stripes on it,

2372
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 1: and then you tinker with the font of the numbers

2373
01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 1: and the colors and the sleeves and the stripes and

2374
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 1: the piping. You know, simpler is better for the most

2375
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:06,000
Speaker 1: partum I like. I like where the jerseys are now

2376
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 1: for the bills, I'd like them a lot. M Paul

2377
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 1: Lucas agree with us from UNI watch, so it was

2378
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 1: a website that keeps track of this stuff. So I

2379
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: I think the bills are really sharp looking. Now, I

2380
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:22,240
Speaker 1: don't want to change anything. I dont want to change anything,

2381
01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 1: but you may want a couple of chase mask out. Okay,

2382
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: I'll talk about a facebask but you know, yeah, I'd

2383
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: listen to that Gary and cheekawag out on the land

2384
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:33,520
Speaker 1: of the Hello, Gary, Hello. The only change that would

2385
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:36,920
Speaker 1: make is the helmets. I like the helmets that we

2386
01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 1: had back in the sixties, and I would also have

2387
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 1: the it was old fashioned two bar face masks. Yeah,

2388
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:48,800
Speaker 1: good luck with that. But what what was about the helmet,

2389
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 1: the white helmet with the standing buffalo? Is that what

2390
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: you're saying? Yes, okay, do you like the throwback helmets?

2391
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 1: They used this nowadays when they do the throwback because

2392
01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 1: their white helmets was standing buffalo. Yes, I would, okay,

2393
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: white helmets. That would be um and be an old

2394
01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: school look, and that would almost look I like classic

2395
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 1: uh looks. I like the throwbacks, but that would almost

2396
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:16,880
Speaker 1: be too much too much of a throwback look. Don't

2397
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 1: you think white helmet, standing red buffalo a little too much?

2398
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,480

Speaker 1: go ahead. I would like to see when they played

2403
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: in Detroit Lions. I think Ralph would get a chuckle

2404
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: out of this if they would wear their uniforms from

2405
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty first year, which we're almost identical to the

2406
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:53,120
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions uniform. Yeah, we were just talking about that.

2407
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: It's it's if you're gonna go back, throwback, that's the beginning.

2408
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 1: Right there is this all silver. I don't think there

2409
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:02,040
Speaker 1: any logo on that helmet, right, it's just a number,

2410
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:05,600

2415
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 1: the Bill's first ever draft pick, isn't that right, caller?

2416
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:24,400
Speaker 1: You're a correct quarterback from Penn State. Really, in fact,

2417
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 1: we should probably reach out to him. Jay Harris, producer

2418
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 1: Richie Lucas, Right, wouldn't you like to talk to other Bills?

2419
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 1: I think that would be awesome Bill's first ever draft pick. Yeah,

2420
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 1: Richie Lucas Lucas quarterback Pens. I have no idea about

2421
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,600
Speaker 1: who that is. Well, look, we gotta call him. Yeah, him,

2422
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 1: What's what's that? I'm sorry? He came in second in

2423
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy in nineteen six. Who do you finish second? That?

2424
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope you know. I don't know,

2425
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,280
Speaker 1: but I'll look it up. Thanks very much. Let's go

2426
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 1: to Eric and Williamsville. Hello, Eric, you're on the air. Hey, John,

2427
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 1: First reminder of the way back in the seventies when

2428
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: we're having the when Joe Ferguson was having problems seeing players.

2429
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to say Federal safety yellow for helmets then,

2430
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: but you know you know that right that they changed

2431
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: the red because Joe Ferguson apparently had a problem. Yeah,

2432
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 1: that's been brought up a few times. Well, it was

2433
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 1: number two. Considering that at the moment, there are four

2434
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 1: professional franchises under one corporate entergy that is using the

2435
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:30,840
Speaker 1: one buffalo theme, right, what's to say that at some point,

2436
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:33,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not suggesting this, that it ends up they

2437
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:37,160
Speaker 1: blend the uniforms all four franchises they own, so it

2438
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 1: ends up as one sort of blue, one sort of yellow, orange, whatever,

2439
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, etc. I wouldn't have a problem having every

2440
01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 1: single team, the Bills, the Sabers, the Bandits, and what

2441
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 1: the buttes is it? Yeah? The beauty all of them

2442
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 1: are the same jerseys. The Bills uniforms were used by

2443
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 1: the World Junior Team team UH in hockey, and they

2444
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: looked really good in their hockey in the World Junior

2445
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 1: Ice Hockey Championships in two thousand. This year's Championships, the

2446
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: United States men's National Junior ice Hockey team wore Bills

2447
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 1: inspired uniforms there and they look sharp. Uh you can

2448
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: bet that. Uh, of course. And I don't know if

2449
01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get the Sabers to change it really

2450
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I know, I like the Sabers too.

2451
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 1: I like the Sabers. I mean, it's a great concept,

2452
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:30,839
Speaker 1: but now at this point in history, I'm too attached

2453
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 1: to both to to discard one of them, and mixing

2454
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 1: them up means you don't get any of the you know,

2455
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: the classics. So Um, I like the concept, but I

2456
01:59:40,240 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: don't want to. I mean, i'd i'd want everything to

2457
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 1: be Bills stuff, and all the guys of the Sabers,

2458
01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:46,600
Speaker 1: they all wanted to be Sabers stuff, right, Change the

2459
01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 1: Bills into the Sabers gear. So, um, I don't. Yeah,

2460
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:52,280
Speaker 1: so I'd be a hard one, but I like the concept.

2461
01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:54,320
Speaker 1: A couple from the tweet sheet, which changes would you

2462
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:58,000
Speaker 1: like to see made with the Bills uniforms? Tim Herris

2463
01:59:58,080 --> 02:00:00,680

Speaker 1: the exact uniforms they wore back then, both home and away,

2468
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: where those his throwbacks one or two times a year.

2469
02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 1: That way, the red helmets can be brought back without

2470
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 1: having to get rid of the white ones. That's an idea.

2471
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I won't if it's a good idea. I gotta think

2472

2516
02:02:56,760 --> 02:02:59,800
Speaker 1: things that I was thinking about today listening to the show,

2517
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: and a few of those things were There are a

2518
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:08,520
Speaker 1: lot of historians here in Buffalo, and there is a

2519
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:14,160
Speaker 1: gentleman that I've known for quite some time named Angelo Conniglio.

2520
02:03:15,200 --> 02:03:19,240
Speaker 1: And he has a website called remember the AFL dot

2521
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:24,400
Speaker 1: com Okay, and that thing is power packed with history

2522
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: of the AFL. And he's a great guy. Okay, he's

2523
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 1: probably up in his late seventies, maybe early eighties, but

2524
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 1: the website's fantastic. And I'll tell you something else. I

2525
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: would not change anything with the Bills uniforms. They're perfect,

2526
02:03:47,640 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: They're classic. They can you know, blue on blue, red

2527

Speaker 1: on red, white on white, blue tops, white dance, you know.

02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:10,880
Speaker 1: thousand and then moved to rich Day. All the things

2546
02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: that have happened in the in the the milestones of

2547
02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:18,200
Speaker 1: this you know of this franch story franchise, story, franchise,

2548
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,520
Speaker 1: and there's something it's chronicled pretty good. You know, you

2549
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: put it out there, particularly in this day and age,

2550
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 1: you can put it out on social media or whatever

2551
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:27,440
Speaker 1: if you want to find something out about anything. Um,

2552
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 1: there's people in Buffalo who know it because they were there.

2553
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Here's a call from JJ in Buffalo. Go ahead, JJ, Hey, guys,

2554
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:38,840
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? Thanks? Yeah, no problem. I

2555
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:41,760
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you guys ever see those blue concept

2556
02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:45,160
Speaker 1: helmets online? Yeah? I saw him. I don't know if

2557
02:05:45,200 --> 02:05:47,520
Speaker 1: i'd like them. You gotta picture what it looked like

2558
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:51,280
Speaker 1: with fifty of them running around, and it wouldn't It

2559
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:53,560
Speaker 1: would not look like the bills to me. It would

2560
02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: look like the UB Bulls probably you know, or TCU

2561
02:05:57,320 --> 02:05:59,600
Speaker 1: by the way, UB uniforms. Yeah, pretty good. I know

2562
02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:02,840
Speaker 1: it looks too. I would notice that you be basketball

2563
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,840
Speaker 1: uniforms they warned the tournament. They look fantastic. Yeah. They

2564
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:08,680
Speaker 1: were white, bright white. They were great. Got to get

2565
02:06:08,720 --> 02:06:13,360
Speaker 1: twelve of them, though, So what that's all I'm saying, right, JJ,

2566
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 1: how would you feel with the blue concept helmet but

2567
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:19,120
Speaker 1: with the red color rush jersey? I mean that would

2568
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:23,120
Speaker 1: that would pop pretty good? Yeah, I know it will

2569
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:25,800
Speaker 1: try to college. I think it's too big a change

2570
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:29,000
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I get it. It'd be fun.

2571
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: It's fun to just design it. And I think if

2572
02:06:30,880 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: you ever get to the if it ever gets to

2573
02:06:32,320 --> 02:06:34,040
Speaker 1: the point like we were talking about earlier in the show,

2574
02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 1: where the Buffalo Bills or the NFL go the way

2575
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,720
Speaker 1: of the Oregon Ducks football team where every week they've

2576
02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: got this different look and it's wildly different color schemes

2577
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: and different helmets, and they even let the players come

2578
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:46,640
Speaker 1: up with the look of the you know what it's

2579
02:06:46,640 --> 02:06:50,200
Speaker 1: going to be and what it looks like. Uh. Maybe

2580
02:06:50,240 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 1: someday the NFL will do that, and all these concepts

2581
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 1: and all this kind of cool stuff you'd like to

2582
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: try will come about, But for now, it's just too

2583
02:06:58,280 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: radical for some of it. It's just too radical for me.

2584
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:03,160
Speaker 1: I still want my team to look like the team

2585
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:07,080
Speaker 1: I root for, gotcha, not somebody different. One more call.

2589
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:21,920
Speaker 1: like a bomby fifty five degrees. It's not well, it's

2590
02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: better than Buffalo. Oh, thanks for calling. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1: the old throwbacks that we used to wear, maybe in

2600
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:51,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl areas. But I don't know that now

2601

2628
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:12,760
Speaker 1: young people though, right, it's too hard to stick out

2629
02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:14,560
Speaker 1: when we got to survive. When you get up to

2630
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:16,600
Speaker 1: it's still like that up there. So I'm I love

2631
02:09:16,680 --> 02:09:18,880
Speaker 1: going up to visit, but it's one of those where

2632
02:09:18,880 --> 02:09:20,440
Speaker 1: you need a nap when you get back. And he's

2633
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:22,520
Speaker 1: been there for a while, right, tell almost a decade? Yeah,

2634
02:09:22,760 --> 02:09:25,240
Speaker 1: right out of college. I mean the week after college.

02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:43,800
Speaker 1: We'll get back to the other college. We're taking a break.

2642
02:09:43,840 --> 02:09:45,560
Speaker 1: We're coming back with more and One Bill's Live from

2643
02:09:45,600 --> 02:10:02,680
Speaker 1: One Whill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What

2644
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:05,400
Speaker 1: do we learned? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New

2645
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 1: York's homes and businesses with the fin Us in Security

2646
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:12,320
Speaker 1: and Home Theater, the performing alarm and home theater provider

2647
02:10:12,360 --> 02:10:14,400
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. On the show today, we talked

2648
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:16,440
Speaker 1: a lot about uniforms. We'll recap the Twitter poll at

2649
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:19,680
Speaker 1: the moment, but Paul Lucas joined us from uniwatch dot

2650
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:22,520
Speaker 1: com and the website that deals with professional sports uniforms.

2651
02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 1: You talked about the Buffalo Bills uniforms. He likes them.

2652
02:10:27,280 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are one of the better looking

2653
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: teams in the league right now, and they went from

2654
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:33,360
Speaker 1: being one of the worst looking teams during what I

2655
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:37,840
Speaker 1: like to call the Bills Scuba Era or Scuba period,

2656
02:10:37,840 --> 02:10:41,080
Speaker 1: where they would wear the Navy over Navy had that

2657
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:43,720
Speaker 1: weird piping on the jerseys that's sort of like bright

2658
02:10:43,880 --> 02:10:46,800
Speaker 1: blue piping on the Navy jo. I hated that look.

2659
02:10:47,040 --> 02:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I've also never really liked the red helmeted era of

2660
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:51,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. I always thought, and you know, I know

2661
02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:53,760
Speaker 1: the whole story of Joe Ferguson and changing the helmet

2662
02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:55,800
Speaker 1: color and all that, but I always liked the builds

2663
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:57,680
Speaker 1: better with white helmets, And when they went back to that,

2664
02:10:58,000 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 1: I thought it looked great. I think right now they are,

2665
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 1: as you said, one of the better looking teams in

2666
02:11:01,960 --> 02:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the league in terms of a classic look. Paul Lucas

2667
02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,240
Speaker 1: signed the Bills uniform. Also today, we talked a moment

2668
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:09,840
Speaker 1: or two ago with Dan Orlovski, twelve years in the league,

2669
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: is a quarterback in the NFL now with ESPN, and

2670
02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: he talked about Antonio Brown, how he continues to stir

2671
02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:20,720
Speaker 1: up stuff about the Pittsburgh Steelers, his former team. Ab

2672
02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 1: did something you just don't do. You do not quit

2673
02:11:24,440 --> 02:11:27,280
Speaker 1: on your teammates. I don't care if you like every

2674
02:11:27,360 --> 02:11:29,680
Speaker 1: one of them or hate every one of them, you

2675
02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:32,520
Speaker 1: do not quit in what happened last year Week's seventeen

2676
02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 1: was he quit on his team in a meaningful game.

2677
02:11:35,840 --> 02:11:38,200
Speaker 1: For me, I don't want you as a teammate because

2678
02:11:38,240 --> 02:11:40,160
Speaker 1: I can't trust you. I don't care what you say

2679
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: or how good you are. What's transpired the past couple

2680
02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:46,800
Speaker 1: of weeks is really disappointing because now he's done another

2681
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:48,960
Speaker 1: thing that you do not do to a teammate, which

2682
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:52,480
Speaker 1: is you take shots at them or you low blow them.

2683
02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: You don't do that. You just do not. You don't

2684
02:11:56,520 --> 02:11:59,720
Speaker 1: see great players do that to other, to their teammates.

2685
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:02,840
Speaker 1: So I would never want to play football as they be.

2686
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:04,720
Speaker 1: I do not trust them. I don't think he's a

2687
02:12:04,800 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 1: good teammate, and I've been out spoken about that. He

2688
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,360
Speaker 1: has been. He's dramatic about it too. Danner Laski was

2689
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:12,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of fire. Hey, we talked about uniforms

2690
02:12:12,440 --> 02:12:14,960
Speaker 1: all day long. We got your opinions. And take a

2691
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,320
Speaker 1: look at the Twitter poll for today. As far as

2692
