There's also some NFL news and notes, 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: as there always seems to be. After we were off 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: the air yesterday, Steve, you hear the Derek Carr stuff 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: coming out of Las Vegas, and I'm thinking to myself, 19 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: all right, look, we already had ten to twelve teams 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: we were expecting to undergo quarterback changes. And now the 21 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: Raiders are getting into the mix here and leave it 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: to the Raiders to put the cart before the horse. 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, well we'd be all about moving 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: Derek Carr if we could get Deshaun Watson. Yeah yeah, yo, yo, absolutely, 25 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, I'd be happy to talk to you about it. 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Oh you're writing a story about it? Sure? Yeah, yeah, 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: what do you need, like, let me help you out. 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: Did you hear it? Derek Carson? What's what? What? The 29 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: only thing you heard from the LA Rams in their 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: season wrap up press conference? When asked point blank is 31 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Jared Goff the future at quarterback with your organization? The 32 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: response by g M Less Sneed was Jared Goff is 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: on our roster at this time, and that threw up 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: warning flags. But in no way did he say who 35 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: they might be interested in, gave any indication as to 36 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: who they could pursue, and there were I mean, this 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: goes much further than any rumblings that were coming out 38 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: of LA about Jared Goff. It was reading between the 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: lines on Jared Goff. This is coming from like sourses 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: all around the Raiders. They're just a loose cannon of 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: an organization, aren't they like they are. Just whether it 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: was the COVID issues this year, having a fire coaches 43 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: during the season because they were insubordinate or didn't had 44 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: differences with Gruden, and what a mess they are. God, 45 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: they're a mess. I'll tell you too. This was what 46 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: happened in my mind and what I remember about John 47 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: Gruden leaving Tampa Bay after they'd won a Super Bowl. 48 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: He flushed his roster and he just felt he was 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: like of the a little bit like what we used 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: to think of Al Davis being if the guy was fast, big, strong, 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: better athlete, take up. That's the guy we want, we're 52 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of. You bring this guy in and 53 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: he'd do it on a moment's notice. He would just 54 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: do it. And the continuity the team wasn't there because 55 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: guys were leaving and coming in, you know, and stuff, 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: and everybody's on this train. Pro football focus, who is, 57 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. Analytics, those guys dive 58 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: deep into the analytics and all this stuff. So they 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: come up with his hypothetical trade, and I'm shocked at 60 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: what they come up with. Deshaun Watson for the Houston 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: Texans goes to the Raiders and the Raiders give up 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: Derek Card, Darren Waller and two first rounders. You're drunk. 63 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: It's a lot. You are absolutely high thinking you're gonna 64 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: pull that trade off. Why if the Raiders pull that off, 65 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: they're doing to the Texans what the Texans did to themselves. 66 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: They're doing to themselves what the Texas did themselves to 67 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: get in this spot. Yeah, where they trade away DeAndre Hopkins, 68 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: they trade for a left tackle and give two ones 69 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: with not a contract. They do all this crazy stupid 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: stuff as a front office, That's what the Raiders will 71 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: be doing if they did this deal. How much do 72 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: you think the Raiders itch to upgrade their quarterback situation 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: is impacted or prompted them to put themselves in this 74 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: kind of a position. How much is it Mahomes being 75 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: in their division. Do you think it's mainly that or 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,119 Speaker 1: you just think they're half off their rocker? It's both, 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: It's all both those things, all of the above. It's both. 78 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: If Deshaun Watson is not the missing listen, Darren Waller 79 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: is his gift to the top. Yeah, he's unbelievable. And 80 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: they were top three. Derek Carr was ninth In was 81 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 1: ninth in the NFL in quarterback raiding this year, DeShawn 82 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: was a pretty good season. Deshaun was third and they 83 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: give him two first on top of that, Yeah you 84 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: are you are often, Yeah, you're off the map. That's 85 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: steep for Deshaun Watson. Right, yeah, and you're even doing 86 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: that in a place where it looks like the Texans 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: would say, you know, they'd be when you get him 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: out the door almost right, Yeah, I did. I did 89 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: see that Deshaun Watson removed any and all ties to 90 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans on his social media pages completely off. 91 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: Um that's six year old stuff. It is, it is, 92 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: But I think it further cements the fact that this 93 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: is probably over, whether the Texans want to believe it 94 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: or not. He has, you know, publicly dissociated himself from 95 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the organization. Um for whatever that's worth, probably not much. 96 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: But it was just, you know, another another step in 97 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: the process of what looks to be an inevitable parting 98 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: of ways between the two sides. And I'm telling man, 99 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: like somebody at some point in this offseason, sooner probably 100 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: rather than later, like once the Super Bowl is put 101 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: to bed, some reporter is going to be able to 102 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: get a hold of Deshaun Watson or his representatives and 103 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: get a story together on just where they sit and 104 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: just what they're So, if the Texans, what is his 105 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: level of resolve? Well, right, so now I'm telling you, 106 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: if you're the Texans, the clock is sticking, Bro, you've 107 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: gotta get moving and just accept the inevitable. The guy 108 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: is not playing for you. He hates the owner, and 109 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't care if he loves you as the GM 110 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: or you as the head coach. It's not gonna be enough. 111 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: He probably hasn't even met David Culley. I don't think 112 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: he's spoken to him. They're calling him, he won't answer 113 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: his phone. Probably you gotta block those numbers unresponsive. What's 114 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: it gonna and what do you anticipate the owner's gonna 115 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: go over knock on the door of his house to 116 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: get come on. As we've as we've explained, NFL owners 117 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: usually are not you know, ones to apology, don't do that. 118 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: But they don't do that, and they don't have to. 119 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that's their team. They usually they can do 120 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: what they want. They can literally, That's that's what gets 121 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: forgotten and all of this, well, the owners can do 122 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: whatever they want, and I don't have to apologize to anybody. 123 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: You look at Washington, the mess that is or has 124 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: been over the years, they don't Are you kidding me? 125 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: This thing in Houston's like small potatoes. Yeah, but that's 126 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: like somebody's parking in your space, I compared to Washington. 127 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: I think cal McNair is underestimating Deshaun Watson's resolve here. 128 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah maybe. And then and here's the problem is 129 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: when the perceived discontent be comes validated discontent, Now you 130 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: have lost your leverage because now you're in a situation 131 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: where everybody under the sun knows that you have an 132 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: untenable situation. And I don't think you get as much 133 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: in return because of it. Once that becomes obvious, and 134 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to become obvious probably in the 135 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: next sometime in the next two weeks, someone will get 136 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: ahold of Watson. Some reporter will get ahold of Watson 137 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: and his representatives and get them to kind of put 138 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: their stance out there, and so all of that. Here's why, 139 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: here's why Deshaun Watson can kick back on the couch 140 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: and pick up the remote and just let it all 141 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: go by. He signed a four year, one hundred and 142 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: fifty six million dollar contract last offseason. He got twenty 143 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: seven million of it for signing it. Yeah, he knows 144 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: where his next cheeseburger's coming from. He's got he's got 145 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: enough to last through an entire football season. Like like 146 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: Levion Bell did he just hang on just out. Yeah, 147 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: you could probably say the same thing about the owner. 148 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, let's not forget you're coming 149 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: off a pandemic season where you had nobody in the 150 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: seats or very few people in the seats. You're trying 151 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: to make up for revenue losses, and you're one of 152 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: your two most petular players. One of your two most 153 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: popular players doesn't want to be there, and you're probably 154 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to cut the other one because of your 155 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: cap implications. You're seventy five million over the cap. Yeah, 156 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to cut J. J. Watt and 157 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: you may have to trade Deshaun Watson. If you're in 158 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: that position, you have a draft you have a first 159 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: round pick or a second round pick. Yeah, you pick 160 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: sixty seventh, that's your first draft choice. You are in 161 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: a deep dark hole right now. I would franchise. I 162 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: would a deep dark hole. I'm cutting bait. Like if 163 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm Cal McNair, I'm cutting bait. I got some I 164 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: got a valuable commodity that can help me rebuild my franchise. 165 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: I'm I'm telling my GM get the as much as 166 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: you can for him. You're you're free to deal because 167 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: because if you wait, you're gonna let somebody else lay 168 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: out the narrative. Whether it's Deshaun Watson and his representatives, 169 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: whether it's some national reporter who's got some cloud, whether 170 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: it's the rest of the league, you know, uh, figuring 171 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: out all the other quarterback musical chairs, leaving you with 172 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: fewer options. It's that's right, and here's strike quickly here 173 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: if you want to maximize your return on investment. Matthew 174 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: Stafford included and Derek Carr included. Deshaun Watson is the guy, 175 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: if he came on the market, would be the guy. 176 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: He would be the cherry on the cake of a 177 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: franchise if they were able to acquire him from the Texans. 178 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: He's the only He is the He is the commodity, 179 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: if if I can be so casual as to call 180 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: him a commodity, he is the product that the Houston 181 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Texans have that will jump start their rebuild that they're 182 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to go through whether they have him or not. 183 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: He would jump start it, jump started with the value 184 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: that he brings. And if he doesn't want to play 185 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: for you, all the more justification for wiping your hands 186 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: completely clear the whole deal. Yeah, and I know NBC 187 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: Sports Chris Simms, on an interview with a forty nine 188 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: ers site, basically said, quote, I've been led to believe this, Mike, 189 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: there is no way Deshaun Watson will play for the 190 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: Houston Texans again. Yeah, I'm saying that I have been 191 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: told by somebody I trust that says Deshaun Watson will 192 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: not play for the Houston Texans ever again, and he's 193 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: willing to sit out football for the year if he 194 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: has to. That's where I've been led to understand this 195 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: situation and where it's at right now. And like I said, 196 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: it's someone that I trust very much. So already these 197 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: kinds of rumblings are out there, which means that people 198 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: close to Watson are circulating it in an effort to 199 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: prompt something to happen rather than having to sit out 200 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: the full season because you know, players in the grand 201 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: scheme of things, do not want to lose a year 202 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: of their career for doing something, having to do something 203 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: like this. But if he sat out, he'd lose ten 204 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: million dollars. Ten and a half million dollars, right, but 205 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: he already made twenty seven million. His dead cap hit 206 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: is seventy five million dollars. Yeah, they gotta trade him. 207 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: If they trade him, it doesn't it's not seventy five 208 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: million dollars. Yeah. So that's what he told Mike Florio 209 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: yesterday on Pro Football Talk. He's on there with him 210 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: all the time, as we know. I mean, okay, go 211 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: get him. I'm telling you, man, if you have the 212 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: most important player on your team doesn't want to be there, 213 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: it's an untenable situation. You gotta do something. You gotta 214 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: figure it out. So that's where it's at. I saw 215 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter thinks Jets quarterback Sam Darnold could be worth 216 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: a late first round pick if traded to Steve Now. 217 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're yeah, late first round draft pick, 218 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: I could see that. I think we have to remember this. 219 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: When he came out in the draft, he was twenty one. 220 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's only twenty three years old right now, 221 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: he's younger than Josh, and he has not been with 222 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: an organization that has offered him stability and an environment 223 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: in which to grow. There's been no development of his game. 224 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: And he said all the right things. He's you know, 225 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: conducted himself like a professional despite all the garbage that 226 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: was swirling around him, and there was a lot of it, 227 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: especially in this last season played hurt. I could see 228 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: a team swinging a deal with them for Darnold, and 229 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I could see Donald succeeding somewhere else where there's a healthier, 230 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: more stable environment, you know. I could see Pittsburgh getting 231 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: on the phone with them, couldn't you? All these teams, absolutely, 232 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: there's a ton of tee the Colts getting on the 233 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: phone with them. The Colts should be the Colts should 234 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: be on the phone with everybody. Well, they are a 235 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: good football team, and they could. And now the problem 236 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: with it, they can't get deshined because in the division YEA, 237 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: even the Texans aren't. We were lunatic, you think, right, 238 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: they aren't lunatic enough to put give Deshaun Watson, who 239 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: hates your owner and would be highly motivated against you 240 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: twice a year to come in and thump you. So 241 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: you don't want to trade him to that, but everybody else? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, 242 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: I think the Jet. I think the Jet should keep him. 243 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: Quite frankly, you're starting fresh. You've got a nice young 244 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: coordinator in Micha Lafleur, Matt's younger brother who salobroad with 245 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: him from San Francisco, knows the Shanahan offense. I think 246 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: that Darnold is a good fit for the Shanahan offense. 247 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think they should try to 248 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: make it work with him and use that second pick 249 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: in another way. Yeah, yeah, second overall pick that they have, 250 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: I would I would use it for something else besides 251 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback, whether you trade down and get trade sideways. 252 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: If they picked twice in round one, if I remember right, 253 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: they have two first round picks and trade down and 254 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: have three. You want to rebuild quick, It's how you 255 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: do it. That's what they have to do. That here's 256 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the Yeah. I'll say this, if Matt Stafford got what 257 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: he got, if if the Rams or the Detroit Lions 258 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: got what they got for Matt Stafford, Deshaun Watson is 259 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: way above that. He gets he gets three one, you 260 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: get three ones for him if you're not sending a 261 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: quarterback back, right, Yeah, I think so, man, I think so. 262 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean the Raiders could make an identical deal to that, 263 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: an identical deal, yeah, but they'd probably put Car in it, 264 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: and and it wouldn't be three ones. They'd probably put 265 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Car in the deal. But too crazy? Would that be 266 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: Derek Carr going to where his brother failed miserably? Yeah, 267 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: well on a roster that offered him no pass protection. 268 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy got sacked seventy six times his 269 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: first year. Yeah, it's It's what a sordid web this is. 270 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: I just I'm just curious as to the thinking of 271 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: general managers around the league. I totally respect wanting to 272 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: upgrade at that position if you don't feel like you 273 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: have a guy you can win with. But I think 274 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: there are even guys that are on the move now 275 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: that you can win with Derek Carr being one of them. Absolutely, 276 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: and teams are there's this musical chairs contest going on 277 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: where people are saying, well, if we don't have a 278 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: top five guy, we don't have a chance, like they 279 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: genuinely believe that. And I understand that logic to an extent, 280 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: But man, the lengths these people are. We're hearing that 281 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: some of these teams are willing to go to to 282 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: kind of make a deal happen. It's just it's astounding. 283 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: It's astounding to me. And it's almost as if a 284 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: lot of these guys feel we don't have a top 285 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: five QB, we can't compete, and if we get the 286 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: top five QB, it fixes everything. And I think that's 287 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: just so misguided. It's an important position, don't get me wrong. 288 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: And I know mahomes Is seems like an insurmountable guy 289 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: and so you feel like, wow, he's the best in 290 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: the league. Josh Allen's the top five guy and they 291 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: only came within two touchdowns and them in the title game. 292 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: Where does that put us? Right? So I could see 293 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: that measuring stick stuff going on in front offices around 294 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: the league. But it's not that simple. That's an oversimplification. 295 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: It's really complicated. And there a team, There is a bunch, 296 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: there's always been and maybe maybe that's what they sense 297 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: is that for the first time in NFL history, there 298 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: aren't that many ways to win. You gotta have an 299 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: offense that scores. You can't win with defense anymore. You know, 300 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: you can't win with a game. You may get lucky 301 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: once in a while, like the Bills holding a Baltimore 302 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: Raven team to three points in a playoff game. It's 303 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: pretty rare, pretty rare in this day and a. Even 304 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: in this day and age, I think some people it 305 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: must be getting to the point where there are franchises 306 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: out there that just don't believe defense is worth it anymore, 307 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: running game whatever. But then you got a team like 308 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: Tennessee play defense, run the ball. They played lousy defense though, 309 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: and they did play lousy defense. They were like thirtieth 310 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: in the league. Um they Yeah, that's true. They weren't good. True, 311 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: they weren't good. They have that persona, I know what 312 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: you're saying. But they weren't good. They their defense stunt. 313 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: They had no pass defense to speak of because their 314 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: pass rush was garbage, um pit. I wonder how much 315 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: thing they had a number one defense and they were 316 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, I almost think though that some of these 317 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: NFL front offices are overestimating the power of offense, because 318 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: I think it got skewed this year. I mean, we 319 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: can go all the way back to you know, the 320 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: things that Micah hide. Some other defensive players on the 321 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: Bill's roster were telling us at the beginning of the year, 322 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: like everybody was worried about the offenses being in sync 323 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: at the start of the year, with no offseason program, 324 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: no preseason, no ramp up preparation, no pads and training camp, 325 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,959 Speaker 1: none of that. They thought, everybody's worried about the offense 326 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: being in sync. The problem was the defense. Yeah, not 327 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: only here but across the league. And I thought Micah 328 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: Hyde encapsulated it very well. He essentially said, look, you 329 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: don't get to practice real defense almost ever. Ever, he said, 330 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: outside of preseason games, you really don't get to practice 331 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: defense the way you play defense on Sunday. So we 332 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: had no preseason games in which to tackle people to 333 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: the ground. We had a padless training camp. Like even 334 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: in training camp, you'll get twelve plays a goal line. 335 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, you'll get a tackle to the ground segment 336 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: or two through the course of training camp. You know, 337 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: maybe you have a joint practice and one day you 338 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: can tackle guys to the ground in one of the practices. 339 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: None of that, he said. And then they throw us 340 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: out on the field and say go tackle people full speed. 341 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: Week one. Make it happen. I think this year, this 342 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: past season is going to be an aberration type year 343 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: for scoring because of that fact. And if we have 344 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: a regular off season, with a preseason, with real training 345 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: camp with OTAs, I think the defenses in general will 346 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: perform better across the board after what we witnessed this year. 347 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: And there's a part of me that wonders our NFL 348 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: front office is not all of them. Are some of 349 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: them overvaluing the scoring that we witnessed this year to 350 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: the point where they say, we don't have a chance 351 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: unless we have a top five QB. We gotta do 352 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: whatever we can to get one. I wonder if some 353 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: people have been overly influenced. I think about that too. 354 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: Now you got a team in the Las Vegas Raiders 355 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: that's got a top ten quarterback, the least top twelve. 356 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: They're looking to deal him. Well, they were looking, in 357 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: all fairness, they were talking about dealing him a year 358 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: or two ago too, when he wasn't that good. He's 359 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: coming off a very good season, as Steve already outlined, 360 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: and they're still looking a movement. And I understand, if 361 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to get better, a legitimate opportunity 362 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: to improve that position. You do it within reason. But 363 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: if you have a guy that's top twelve, I don't know, 364 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: if you're bore, it's the farm to get the guy. 365 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know Deshaun Watson his rare air 366 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position and he's only twenty five years old. 367 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: You get that guy, you're set for the next ten years. 368 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: But man, you we're talking steep steep cost here. I 369 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: just it's gonna be very interesting to see how it 370 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: all plays in cars. Only signed to twenty twenty two, 371 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: So he got this year and next year. Yeah with him, 372 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: if you if you, if you get him and he's 373 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: making nineteen million a year, and then you have and 374 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: then and then Steve. You have Ryan Fitzpatrick. Oh, fitz 375 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: he still wants to play and he's going to be 376 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: a free agent. Hire him. Well, who did we have 377 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: on earlier this week. I'm trying to remember the guest 378 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: we had who said, oh, it was Ben voland who 379 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: said he could see or he would prefer to see 380 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick with the New England Patriots next season, which 381 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: would give fits the clean sweep of the AFC East. 382 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: He will have played for every team in the Division 383 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: four and against every single team in the right I 384 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't put that past anybody. First of all, Um Fits 385 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: has the football IQ that I think Josh McDaniels and 386 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick would find very appealing. Um you know, say 387 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: what you will. I know he's an Arizona native, but 388 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: he went to went to Havid you know, oh yeah, 389 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: I remember this kid over at had playing football. Wait 390 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: wait wait wait yeah geographic location. Fits s been on 391 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: eight teams. They don't matter where this team is. I 392 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: mean he could if if they had a franchise in Alaska, 393 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: Fritz was there. Yeah, if he wants to, if he's 394 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: gonna play playing for the Guam Pirates, go he's there. 395 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: He wants he wants to play. Yeah, he made it evident. 396 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: He wants to keep playing. He enjoys the preparation, the competition, 397 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I think he's proven by virtue 398 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: of his career longevity that he can to just about 399 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: any system you want to hand him. He would be 400 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: quick study. Now, even at his best, I mean he 401 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: won't be as physically gifted throw or the football as 402 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: Brady was even now fit forty three, but he would 403 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: be on Brady's level, probably at decision making, right, I 404 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: would say an experience. And if you're gonna execute more 405 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: of the Brady type offense with McDaniels, you know, short passes, 406 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff, he can definitely do that stuff. There 407 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: is the law of diminishing returns with Ryan Fitzpatrick because 408 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: there are instances where have given enough opportunities, he will 409 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: kill you. Um, we're seeing this Raiders the week before 410 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: they played the Bills. Yes, and he gets his head 411 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: just ripped off. That's gonna be the statue at the 412 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: end of Ryan Fitzpatrick's career. It's him. You're not even 413 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: seeing his face arm and his head's backwards. He's looking 414 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: through his ear hole, looking through his ear hole. His hell, 415 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: he's getting pulled sideways. He's he's cutting a close down 416 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: the field. That is Ryan Fitzpatrick to a tea and 417 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: got you know, bless his heart. Yeah, that's why you 418 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: love the guy. He completed it, that's right, and won 419 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: the game. Unbelievable. Yeah he uh so. Yeah, he's a gem, 420 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, and he just just one of the all 421 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: time great guys. He's gonna be he He'll be somewhere, 422 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a new He'll be somewhere. He was 423 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: too productive last year England. They watched him. Yeah, they 424 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: prepared for him twice. Yeah, I could see him there. 425 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I really could. Because he's he's they could have him 426 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: at an affordable price. Um, he would sign because I 427 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: think he would know he has a real good chance 428 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: to start. So yeah, I could. I could see that happening. 429 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know. He's just he's a fun watch man. 430 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: I'll watch. I'll watch him play for anybody, I really will. 431 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: He's a fun watch just because he is so competitive yum. 432 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: And he's not the physical, you know juggernaut. He's good 433 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: enough to play in the league, and he maximizes his 434 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: abilities the best, the best, The best part of this 435 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: whole reel of the win against the Raiders is the 436 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: cut the cutaway to Gruden and he's just got his 437 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: He's got his two fingers on the bridge of his 438 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: nose with his head down, like I can't gonna lose 439 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: this game to this guy. And let's let's think about this. This. 440 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: We talk about you know, Matt s right, Matt Stafford. 441 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: We talk about you know, Deshaun Watson, Derek Carr, Darnald 442 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: even Aaron Rodd. All these guys are all you know 443 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: out there. Who's it gonna be, Who are they gonna play? For? 444 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: All that stuff. Fitzpatrick's right in the middle of that. 445 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: He is right in the center is tier two. He's 446 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: writing somebody and they won't even bring him in to 447 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: be a starter. We don't think so won't even have 448 00:26:54,119 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: to bring him into Dallas, right Andy Dalton bring him 449 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: into that. You don't think Frank Reich would bring that 450 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: guy on as a as a mentor for whoever it 451 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: is he gets, or maybe even just you know, he's 452 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: just as a spot starter. He's near perfect. Shut him 453 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: in Denver to help Drew Locke exactly. All these days, 454 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: there's such there is such a niche for him. Yeah, 455 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: in this league if he wants it, and you know 456 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: he will, I mean, yeah, We've got a little bit 457 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: of a lighter show today. As we're talking favorite super 458 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: Bowl memories. You know, we're always talking about who's going 459 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: where and who's what are we fitting under the cap? 460 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: Who might a team have to cut, who can they sign, 461 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: who's untouchable? All of that stuff. We wanted to take 462 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: a break from that today and just kind of do 463 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: a little walk down memory lane here, what's your favorite 464 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl memory? And uh, there's a whole bunch of them. 465 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: I mean, whether you're talking about, you know, from just 466 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: starting to watch football as a kid, and maybe some 467 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: of the first Super Bowls you remember, or something that 468 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: you were you know, some team you were really pulling 469 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: for one year against maybe some other team you hated, 470 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: and maybe there's some play like perfect example, like you 471 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: know Week sixteen, watching Bill Belichick slam the phone on 472 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: the sidelines. We're looking for that kind of stuff from 473 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Like what kind of memory did you 474 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: particularly relish? You know, for you that was the highlight 475 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: of the year. Week sixteen is the highlight of the 476 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: year for me. I love the playoff wins. I'm glad 477 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: they got him. Nothing tops thirty eight to nine over 478 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots on Monday Night football for me at Julette Stadium. 479 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: That will be the high the high point of the 480 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: season for me. Everything else after that was gravy. It's fun, 481 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: Like I knew they were going to the playoffs, they 482 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: won the division, all of it was great, but that 483 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: place was a house of horrors for this team for 484 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: the last twenty years and to do that in that 485 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: fashion against that team and that coach, and he's slamming 486 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: the phone down on the sideline. Oh my god, I couldn't. 487 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: I was a human sponge. I couldn't soak up enough 488 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: of it. I needed to like ring myself out so 489 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: I could soak up more.

And this 549 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: is not tied only to the Bills appearances in the 550 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. This is Super Bowls for all time. And 551 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: I will say that the one that I relished the most. 552 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: I grew up a big Walter Payton fan, so to 553 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: finally see him in the Super Bowl was something that 554 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: I was glued to. Obviously, the defense was the headliner 555 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: of that team. Um, and I was disappointed coming out 556 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: of that game that Ditka did not give Walter Payton 557 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: an opportunity to score a touchdown. Instead gave the ball 558 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: to the Fridge, who barrel into the end zone when 559 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: the game was pretty much already set. You know, it 560 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: was already game, set, match, And he did regret it, 561 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: and he should, And as as a Walter Payton fan 562 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: growing up, I was incensed with him that he did 563 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: not give the ball the sweetness for all he had 564 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: done for that organization for all those years. And uh yeah, Dicka, 565 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: who who doesn't admit he's wrong often did admit that 566 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: he regretted not giving Walter the ball on that play, 567 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: giving it to the Fridge instead, and that that stuck 568 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 1: with Peyton for a while too. He was you know, 569 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't one to be sour grapes, but that was 570 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: a major sticking point for him for several months after 571 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. It's got a that sucked, man. And 572 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: so while you know the Bears won going away, it 573 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: was forty six to ten, I mean, my god, I 574 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: mean that defense just put a exclamation point on their 575 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: entire season. That playoff run might have been even more 576 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: impressive than what they did in the regular season, because 577 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: it was just They've shut out the Giants twenty one 578 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: nothing on a really, really, really windy day in Chicago. 579 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 1: That's the play. That's the game when Sean Lindetta whipped 580 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: on the punt. And then the next week in the 581 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: divisional playoff, they crushed the Rams. I want to say 582 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: it was twenty one to three or twenty eight to three, 583 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: something like that, and then m or was that the 584 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: NFCI Idol game? Maybe it was, Oh, no, Philly was Philly? 585 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 1: Was Philly the NFC title game? Five? No, No, that 586 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: was later. I know that was later. Yeah, that was 587 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: eighty eight. I want to say, um, yeah, We'll have 588 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: to look it up. I can't remember if the Rams 589 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: game was the I think the Rams game was the 590 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: NFC title game because the Bears had a fourteen fifteen 591 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: and one record and so they had to buy they 592 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: didn't have the wild cards, so I think the divisional 593 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: playoff round they beat the Giants, and then NFC Title 594 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: Game they beat the Rams to go to the super 595 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: Bowl and then wax the floor with the Patriots. That 596 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: was not good. That was And I gotta tell you 597 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: the years when I was like a teen a young 598 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: teenager watching the Super Bowl, those games were horrible, Steve. 599 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: They were all blowouts. It was terrible, like terrible. There. 600 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: There wasn't a good game for like three or four years, 601 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: right because you had um if you start there, and well, 602 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: you don't even have to start there. You go Super 603 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: Bowl eighteen Raiders and Washington. That's when the Raiders and 604 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: Marcus Allen absolutely crushed Washington thirty eight to nine. Then 605 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: you have the real Then you have Marino in Montana. 606 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: It's thirty eight sixteen Niners. The Dolphins didn't even have 607 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: a chance in that game. Then you have Bears forty 608 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: six to ten, Giants thirty nine twenty over Denver, Washington 609 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: forty two to ten over Denver. I think Elway had 610 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: like three picks in that game, and then they got 611 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: better for a year. You know, the Niners have to 612 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: get a pass to John Taylor with thirty four seconds 613 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: left to beat Cincinnati twenty to sixteen. But then they 614 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: come back the next year fifty five to ten, may 615 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: beat Denver. It's just like, oh ah, just not even competitive. 616 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's a terrible stretch of Super Bowls. Games 617 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: were over by like the second quarter. You're going to 618 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: look to play board games with your family. I mean, 619 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: who goes back to go back to the chips and dip. 620 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: You can only go back to the Bowls so many times. 621 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: There was a bad stretch of Super Bowls that's just 622 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: largely uncompetitive. I mean just every year they try and 623 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: rank them, uh that you know, actually Super Bowl twenty 624 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: five is still in the top. It was somebody the 625 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: one I saw six Right after it was played, they 626 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: said this may have been the best super Bowl ever. Yeah, probably, 627 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: and it was at the time. It was. Now you've 628 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: had an overtime Super Bowl, You've had you know, comeback games. 629 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: The Patriots have had some really good games. Of course, 630 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: the Giant game coming you know, beating the Patriots the 631 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: way they did with the Patriots regular season, the way 632 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: it was in a lot of good stuff, a lot 633 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: of good games. But we watch your thoughts at eight three, 634 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight fifty two, five fifty open line 635 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: for you there, and we go and begin the show 636 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: today with Gary on a yell, Gary, what do you 637 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: have for us? You're one Bills live, Hi, guys, thanks 638 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: for taking my call. I got a true emotional moment 639 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: and a Super Bowl that the first Bill Super Bowl 640 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: where Whitney Houston sang the national anthem. That was very 641 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: emotional and you'll see that on the internet a zillion times. 642 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: And the second outstanding moment was when Joe Namas won 643 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the very first one. Those are the 644 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: two that stick out in my mind. But while I 645 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: have you, why didn't this year's Bills go to the 646 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: three four defense to clog up the middle so that 647 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: those tight ends wouldn't make those touches. I mean, we 648 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: don't have a pass rush anyways. They could have put 649 00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: four linebackers in. Gary's not that easy to change it. 650 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: It's a philosophy like that. It's just not that easy. 651 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it takes different personnel. It takes, and I 652 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: don't know that your answers in coverage or linebackers against 653 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: somebody like Travis Kelsey. Yeah, and I don't I don't 654 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: know yourself. And you know, nobody else could stop him either, 655 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: So a lot of that's been tried. I think it 656 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: comes down to you gotta find a different way to 657 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: defend him other than um just with one guy or whatever. 658 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, Gary, but you're right the 659 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: Whitney I did an interview yesterday about Whitney Houston's national anthem, Yeah, 660 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: because CBS is doing a big thing on it. They're 661 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: doing like a half hour special on that anthem. Yeah, 662 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: along with a bunch of other memories. It's a great moment, 663 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: It really was. It was really great. How did you 664 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: guys pull it together after that? Because you had the 665 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: whole war thing going on obviously Gold War Well no, like, 666 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean everybody like you are geared up for like 667 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: the biggest game of your life, and you know, there's 668 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff around the Super Bowl every year, 669 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: but that year it's like, holy cow, like we might 670 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: be going to war here. We got choppers flying around, 671 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: we got guys with guns on the roof, you know, um, 672 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: and then she comes out and sings that, which I 673 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: also saw a story on like the making of it. 674 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: She I guess she was out in LA and they 675 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: taped it first one take. That's her in one take 676 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: because they play it under her, underneath her own vocals, right. 677 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: They she sang it, but the music was piped yeah, 678 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: because you can't get the mix right right. So they 679 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: the band with the the orchestra was on the field 680 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: and now they may have played, but the music that 681 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: they played was piped in so they could get it perfect. 682 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: And then she sang it the way I understand. She 683 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: sang it live. Um, and you know she hit a 684 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: home run. He was a grand slam right, so, and 685 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: I was telling him I it was ten years later 686 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: when I went back when the Cuper Bowl came back 687 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: to his Tampa. I was, you know, working in the meet. 688 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: They asked me to do um be a you know, 689 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: the pitch, the game program, the game day magazine. So 690 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: I was out there with the NFL Game Day magazine. 691 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: And it was only then that I got a chance 692 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: to actually see what she was wearing when she wore 693 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: that when she sang the match. She had this red 694 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: white tracksuit track suit. I was like, oh, that's cool, 695 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: and but yeah, they were still talking about it ten 696 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: years later, and I guess you know now we still are. 697 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't think of a third national anthem 698 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: rendition anywhere on the planet that was better than that. 699 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just I've been I'll say this, 700 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: if you don't get stirred up as an American listening 701 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: to her sing that you don't have a pulse or 702 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: say this, I'll say this. I took. I take great 703 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: pride in my ability to contextualize national anthems. I've ever 704 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: since that that's been kind of I've had a measuring 705 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: that's the standard, right, that's the standard. So I take, 706 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: I listen and how many games I've did, three hundred 707 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: games for CBS, right, or two hundred A couple hundred 708 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: games for CBS I played in you know whatever, And 709 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: so I from that moment I started listening to the 710 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: national anthem kind of you know, I was like, okay, yeah, no, yeah, 711 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: well that was that whatever, and you know, that's the standard. 712 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 1: So there's there's been a couple yeah that I've heard 713 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: that were good.

My husband I 777 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: moved to a community where you're not allowed to have flags. Well, 778 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: we probably hung our bills flag beginning in September. We 779 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: get a knock on our door and the HOA president 780 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: comes in and said, I'm sorry, you have to take 781 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: your bills flag down.

Here 787 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia reigns in Abbey Glenn community outside of Hilton Head. 788 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: So all right, the word awesome, it's awesome. Thanks for 789 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: the call and we appreciate it. Um wow.

My folks are My folks are in 794 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: a similar type community down there. Um there's flags everywhere. 795 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:56,240 Speaker 1: Um well, the amount of Northern transplants would blow your mind. 796 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 1: It's basically it's basically the entire upper border states of 797 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: the US that's east of the Mississippi. It's basically we 798 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: went down Michigan. Everything is either Michigan, Ohio State, Boston 799 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Yeah, like, it's just basically from Michigan all 800 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: the way over to New England. Think it was in 801 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: eighty eight we went down and played in Tampa Bay 802 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,879 Speaker 1: and the Sombrero where ultimately we would play the Super 803 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: Bowl a year or two later. I can't remember what 804 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: year was, maybe eighty nine. Anyway, we go down there 805 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: and we'd beat it. We win, but it was the 806 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: old Sombrero and they were still in the cream cycle uniforms, 807 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: bright yellow orange kind of thing. Yea, remember those those 808 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: were classics, so they were still but it was we 809 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: don't play in Tampa Bay very much, right, so we 810 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 1: go down there, so we didn't. We thought, ah, you know, 811 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: we go down there and it was so awesome. In 812 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: the middle two sections right on the fifty between the 813 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: forties or whatever, they have two sections. They were all 814 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: the cream sickle. I mean it was like painted almost, 815 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 1: but it was all It was full every place other 816 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: than on both sides inside the forties on this thing. 817 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: Everything else was red and blue. The whole stadium was 818 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: built very good. It's not probably easy to get tickets, 819 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: it was easy, but the whole stadium was full transplants, 820 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: it was. It literally was one of those. It was 821 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,280 Speaker 1: one of the first times, I think in my career, 822 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: because we wouldn't. We're never good enough. But eighty eight 823 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: I think it was when people started kind of like, Okay, 824 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: here's our team finally, right and Jim was playing, you know, 825 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: and you know, so we were and then the Bills 826 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: mafia started to get a mushroom And was the first 827 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: time it happened in Miami A bunch and back in 828 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: the day, but this was the first time I'd seen it. 829 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: Even in Miami. I didn't see it where it was 830 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: a home game. On the road. We saw it a 831 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: few times during those years, you know, especially in Miami 832 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: with that rivalry and all that. Yeah, and it was 833 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: a trip that people could plan every single year. It's like, 834 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: just tell me the week, just tell me the exactly, 835 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: And they did that a lot and people even do 836 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: it now. Oh sure, you know, sure now it's even bigger. 837 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: Benzy Roadie to nice Weather and back then, and it 838 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: was Tampa, so we didn't you know, we did in 839 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: North We came out, it was it was like they 840 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 1: spray painted the stadium. Wow, it was pretty cool, very cool. 841 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: That's the first time I remember that ever happening to 842 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: our team. And then you know, subsequently, when we got 843 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: really good or were good consistently enough, it happened. Because 844 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Super Bowl twenty five, both teams are the 845 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: same color scheme. Both teams are red, white and blue, 846 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: like not to me, you know. So you have that, 847 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: and then you have all the patriotism running rampant. They 848 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 1: gave everybody wars start. They gave everybody a little tiny 849 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: American Yeah, and they came in the room and and 850 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: I've said it, that was a moment for our entire country. 851 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: It was a it was an enormously important moment because 852 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 1: I was of a generation I was in the game. 853 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 1: I was twenty I don't know, late twenties, I can't 854 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: even remember. And yeah, I was twenty nine. So if 855 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: I was twenty nine nine almost twenty nine, and my 856 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: entire generation had never known our country at war because 857 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: we were really little when the Vietnam War president ended, 858 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: so we had never known our country between any kind 859 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: of armed conflict like that, and the newness of it 860 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: for our generation and everybody that was under my age 861 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: at thirty and under was it was very new to us. 862 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: And also this was ten years before nine to eleven, 863 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: so security was not a part of our vernacular of 864 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: you know what, my metal detector what, no, you know, 865 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. The barricades they put 866 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 1: up around the stadium, all that, so that so we 867 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: get in there, the giants are wearing blue jerseys, white 868 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: pants with red trim. The bills have got on white 869 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 1: pants and jerseys with red helmets and blue trim, blue jersey, 870 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: blue numbers. So everybody was decked in red, white and blue. 871 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,879 Speaker 1: And you know, Whitney comes when he Huston comes out 872 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 1: and belts that song as the jets come over, the 873 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: attack helicopter comes over with the gun and it's like, 874 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 1: you know, go ahead and play, we got you. You know, 875 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: it was pretty pretty emotionally charged. You could very easily 876 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: get swept up in all of that, like just just 877 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 1: being in the building.

As a result, the team's 892 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: facilities have closed until further notice. There is no timeline 893 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: determined on when the facilities will open. At this time. 894 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 1: The pause of play could be in issues but the schedule, 895 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: so the league is looking at making changes to their 896 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 1: turn slate of games. The NHL is expected to make 897 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: a decision on next week's games within the next few days. 898 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, the thirty eight year old quarterbacks set on 899 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: the Pat McAfee, showed Tuesday that he wants to be 900 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 1: right in the thick of the quarterback market this offseason 901 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 1: because he plans to continue playing.

End quote. Vincent Bonson Jr. Of the 905 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Review Journal reports that NFL insiders expect the 906 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: Raiders to field calls regarding a potential trade of quarterback 907 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Bonson your suggests that the expected demand for 908 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: Car could result in a three team trade that would 909 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: result in the Raiders trading Car and acquiring quarterback to 910 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson from the Texans. The Buccaneers set to become 911 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,840 Speaker 1: the first team in NFL history to play in a 912 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl at their home stadium. Such a reality begs 913 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: the question will they enjoy the elements of their home 914 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: environment in Tampa. The Bucks have a giant pirate ship 915 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,240 Speaker 1: in one end zone. The ship features cannons that fire 916 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: when the Bucks score, But the NFL announced those cannons 917 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 1: will not fire on Sunday before or during the game, 918 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: except for during the introduction of the Bucks if they 919 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 1: win the game. Fred van Vleet is hardly known for 920 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: lighting up the scoreboard, but that's what he did last night. 921 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: The Toronto Raptors guard It never scored forty points in 922 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,280 Speaker 1: a college or NBA game, but VanVleet scored fifty four 923 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: in Toronto's victory over the Orlando Magic, an explosion that 924 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: represents far more than just his own career high. With 925 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: his last basket, he broke both DeMar De Rosen's team 926 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: record of fifty two points and Hall of Famer Moses 927 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 1: Malone's league record of fifty three points in a game 928 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 1: from an undrafted player.

Jeremy leads us off today and he says, 940 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: Manning's passed to David Tyree. I was in basic training 941 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,879 Speaker 1: for the Army and for some reason all our drill 942 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: sergeants were gone for three hours. Well, they were going 943 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,839 Speaker 1: to watch the Super Bowl, that's where they were. So 944 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 1: we snuck into their office and pulled the TV out 945 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,800 Speaker 1: into our bay and watch the whole game. Was fun 946 00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: till we got caught with seconds left. Whoops, that was it. Yeah, 947 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: but that was a great Super Bowl because it ruined 948 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: the undefeated season opportunity that was sitting before the New 949 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: England Patriots there in two thou se thirteen years ago today, 950 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:19,280 Speaker 1: Oh juicy today. I grew up not liking the Giants, 951 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,919 Speaker 1: but well, I wasn't really a Jets fan. I wasn't 952 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: really a football fan growing up. Like I like I've 953 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: told you, New York it's like a baseball town and 954 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: everything else as secondary. Um, so it was baseball and 955 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,359 Speaker 1: then you just moved on to the other sports when 956 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 1: baseball season was over and you kind of casually watched. 957 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think I think I resented 958 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: the Giants because they were the first of the teams 959 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: to move out of New York. You know, they used 960 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 1: to play in Yankee Stadium, then they moved to New Jersey. Yeah, 961 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: what's wrong with that? So I didn't like the Giants. Um, 962 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: but they were the lesser of two evils in that game, 963 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 1: because my god, I mean the Patriots, like that's when 964 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: they were whitewashing us, Like that was the same year 965 00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,359 Speaker 1: they had the fifty six to ten game up here 966 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. They just kept sixteen pouring it 967 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: on in that Sunday nineteen straight games. Yeah. And I 968 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,280 Speaker 1: heard in some of the Super Bowl coverage that's already 969 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: been going on this week, Eli Manning was doing an 970 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: interview and he says, what do you think most often 971 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: comes up in conversation when you and Tom Brady cross paths. 972 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,919 Speaker 1: He goes, I'm just gonna say this. I never bring 973 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: it up, but every time I see Tom, even now, 974 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: thirteen years later, he still tells me how much that 975 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 1: game sticks in his crow.

Yeah, we 1021 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 1: went down with another couple. We walked around the stadium 1022 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: twice before the game, couldn't find any tickets available, so 1023 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 1: we end up watching the game outside the stadium and 1024 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: an outdoor carnival set up with some TVs and bathroom 1025 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: and bear stands right next to the stadium. That almost 1026 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 1: sounds so you could that sounds funner. So you could 1027 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 1: probably hear the cheers from the stadium.

Ideah. My 1080 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: super Bowl memory was um, when we played the Raiders 1081 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 1: at home and a bunch of guys on myself. We uh, 1082 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: we had a sixteen person hot top in a parking lot. Okay, 1083 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a quote from 1084 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:48,480 Speaker 1: Van Miller. It was it was totally pandemonium, all right. 1085 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 1: And then did you drive that down to the super 1086 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Bowl too? No? No, we didn't. Oh we had for 1087 01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: like three days. Yeah, because I I'm taking that on 1088 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 1: the road. I mean, after that came, you know, after 1089 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: we realized once we um got the hot tub in there, 1090 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: we realized we didn't have any water. That's just we 1091 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 1: called somebody from Clarence and this guy came down with 1092 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 1: these two huge jugs of water, and we ended up 1093 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:28,480 Speaker 1: giving them a pair of tickets. We had real good seats. 1094 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I think the score was, what was it, fifty fifty 1095 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 1: one the three, Yeah, something like that, and um, something 1096 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: like that. But I enjoyed it. We had a we 1097 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 1: had a great time, a great time, you know. I mean, 1098 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 1: you know the guys back then, you know, they played 1099 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: great and uh, the whole city was just on fire 1100 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 1: for that four years. Anywhere you would go, the fires, 1101 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: the restaurants. It was just an uplifting thing. So I 1102 01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: hope this new uh generation of the team, they'll have 1103 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 1: the team that we have now do the same thing. Yeah. Well, 1104 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean they're set up for a year over year success. 1105 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean three playoff berths in the last four years. 1106 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: And you know, while there will be some difficult decisions 1107 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 1: that have to be made about the roster this offseason 1108 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: due to a restrictive cap because of the pandemic, this 1109 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: team is still very well positioned to be a successful 1110 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 1: one going forward. I think the thing about this coaching 1111 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 1: staff and the way that this point in history is 1112 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL is different than it was in my 1113 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 1: era back in the early nineties late eighties, is that 1114 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,760 Speaker 1: you can rebuild a team much quicker than you could then. 1115 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 1: It was almost virtually only the draft back then as 1116 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 1: only a plan B, right, right, you didn't even have 1117 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,360 Speaker 1: Plan B, I mean back in oh well yeah, late eighties. 1118 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was just whatever you could 1119 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 1: draft and that was it, and whatever scrap heap you 1120 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: could get. Fine guys who were discarded by another team. 1121 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: We can you know some of the things that are 1122 01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,439 Speaker 1: going to happen. Think about this, This was list put out. 1123 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 1: There's seven guys on the Bills, guys like and I 1124 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 1: can name them off for real quick, Mitch Morris, Vernon Butler, 1125 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: Quinton Jefferson, John Brown, Lee Smith, Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, 1126 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, all very very big contributors and guy and 1127 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: if you big contributors, big parts of the team, mostly starters. 1128 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Those guys account for forty one point six million dollars 1129 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: forty one point six million dollars in cap space. So 1130 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: that would be the savings you would have if you 1131 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: released all of that seven guys. Now, those are those 1132 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 1: are top guys, some of them Lee Smith probably not. 1133 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: But still those are seven guys that you really count on. 1134 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, though, in what you could say 1135 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 1: in a year like this for Buffalo, they could all 1136 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,920 Speaker 1: in what's going to happen with the rosters around the 1137 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: league because of the shrunken cap. You could almost pair 1138 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: your roster down to like twenty guys, twenty two guys, 1139 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 1: twenty five guys and release everybody else, knowing that you 1140 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 1: could could sign any of them back you wanted to, 1141 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: if they were willing to, but also knowing that in 1142 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the year like this, there's going to be what four 1143 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 1: times the amount of quality free agents out there that 1144 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: there normally is, will be more supply than demand. There's 1145 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: going to be more supply than demand. Yeah, and you 1146 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 1: can refurbish your roster, maybe upgraded every position that you 1147 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,240 Speaker 1: release given the market that's going to be prevalent out 1148 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 1: in the market this year. Now. The reason I say 1149 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: that is this one of the strengths of Sean McDermott 1150 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: and this organization has been team building. His ability to 1151 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 1: get a diverse group of guys and get them to 1152 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: group up, play together and play together. That has been 1153 01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 1: really that's his gift, and I think that's what he 1154 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 1: does better than anybody. He gets more, He gets the 1155 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 1: most out of the roster of most more than most 1156 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: head coaches get. If you turn him, if you do 1157 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 1: that and turn him loose. On a roster like that, 1158 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 1: you would be with this coaching staff, you would think 1159 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 1: you'd get it together and cohesive quicker than anybody else would. 1160 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 1: And that is a way that this is a roster 1161 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: that could really take another step forward if if you're 1162 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 1: willing to do that, and those guys are out there, 1163 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: you know that. But you talk about for me sitting 1164 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 1: here like I am. To me, that's a that's a 1165 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 1: roll of the dice, Yeah, because you don't know who 1166 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get back. Who goes salur grapes because you 1167 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,800 Speaker 1: release them, doesn't want to come back, you know, they're 1168 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: hard feelings or what have you. I mean, it is 1169 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 1: a roll of the dice. But by the same token, 1170 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,640 Speaker 1: they've done that. And one of the things that reasons 1171 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,919 Speaker 1: they're successfuls they're brutally honest with their players and they're 1172 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 1: they're they're honest with them in both ways, the good 1173 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: and the bad. So the players will respond to respond 1174 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 1: to that. And certainly there'll be some that say, I 1175 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: don't know if I want to do right, you get that. 1176 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 1: But there's some of them that will say, yeah, I'll 1177 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: take another swing at the free agency pie. Yeah, you know, 1178 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 1: I can. You know, they've got the freedom to do that. 1179 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 1: That's it's a big This offseason is gonna be wild. 1180 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot more homework over wild across 1181 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the league, not only in terms of what shakes out 1182 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: of the trees. In addition to the long free agent 1183 01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 1: list that's already out there, there's gonna be a lot 1184 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 1: of stuff shaking out of the trees because teams are 1185 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to cut people under contract to get under 1186 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: that cap. There's gonna be some fantastic NFL football players 1187 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 1: available at really good value because the money's not there. 1188 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 1: That's right. So so do you do what I said 1189 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 1: to you free up as much cap space as you want. 1190 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: Telling all those guys they listen, we really like that 1191 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 1: we're freeing up some cap space because we think the 1192 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,439 Speaker 1: market's going to be flooded. You're gonna be a part 1193 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: of our plan. Now. We're gonna let you be a 1194 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,160 Speaker 1: free agent now if you want to be. And those 1195 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: guys will say, yeah, I'll take my swing and I'll 1196 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 1: find somebody who do it. Yeah, you know, I think 1197 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 1: it'll be a matter of different strokes for different folks. 1198 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Some guys will like the idea of being free again. 1199 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Some might not like it because they're not super confident 1200 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 1: in the market here and what it'll bear for them, 1201 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 1: especially if because think about this, Steve, what a market 1202 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: like this is gonna do is it's going to weed 1203 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 1: out the middle market. So the guys that live in 1204 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,719 Speaker 1: that middle market area, you know, they're not the elite players, 1205 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: and they're not guys forty five to fifty fifty three 1206 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,679 Speaker 1: on a roster. That middle market's going to disappear because 1207 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 1: they cost too much for the investment that you're getting. 1208 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,679 Speaker 1: If you're gonna get premium, you're gonna pay for the premium, 1209 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay for bargain basement. You're very rarely 1210 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 1: gonna pay in the middle When you're in a restrictive situation. 1211 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 1: You want to get the bargains and the guys that 1212 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 1: are gonna make a difference, and the guys in the 1213 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: middle are gonna get squeezed out this offseason. So if 1214 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,759 Speaker 1: you're one of those middle market guys that gets clipped, 1215 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 1: you can be a little uneasy about whether you're gonna 1216 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: find a landing spot or Now. Now think about this though, too, Brownie. 1217 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: As as I laid that out. Do you if you're 1218 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott, as much faith as you 1219 01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,599 Speaker 1: have in your ability to get guys and maybe upgraded 1220 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,720 Speaker 1: a couple of spots, Do you really want to rip 1221 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,360 Speaker 1: apart a roster that got to the AFC Championship. Yeah, 1222 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,479 Speaker 1: And that's and that's the other rub right now. Certainly 1223 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 1: they've got some key contributors that are gone anyway. Yes, 1224 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 1: But I think there's going to be some instances that 1225 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,559 Speaker 1: come into play here where they're just gonna have to 1226 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 1: make a really they have to just swallow hard and say, 1227 01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,240 Speaker 1: we'd like to keep this guy, but his cap figure 1228 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: helps us more with him not here, then he gives 1229 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: us on the field, and so we're gonna have to 1230 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 1: part ways. If we can get him back at a 1231 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:44,639 Speaker 1: lesser price, well then all the better. But I don't 1232 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 1: know if that's that's a situation that's going to come 1233 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 1: to fruition and we've got to do the hard thing here, 1234 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 1: but it's the right thing for the team. Here's the 1235 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 1: thing too, though, it'd be hard for a player. And 1236 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: I'm putting this myself in this category. So they're telling me, listen, 1237 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this anything. Well, Hollie, they're getting rid 1238 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 1: of me that. But the problem is that the thing 1239 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,000 Speaker 1: you gotta remember is this. I'm gonna be sitting here 1240 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be looking in the league said, Oh, 1241 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:11,759 Speaker 1: it's not just the Bills doing this to me. Thirty 1242 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,439 Speaker 1: other thirty one other teams are doing it the same 1243 01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,640 Speaker 1: guy like that too. It's not it's the it's the 1244 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: You can write it off to the the cap. You know, 1245 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 1: it's not the Bill's fault. I don't know that for 1246 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the NFL. I know that. I don't know that all 1247 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: NFL players have that. Why to scope on it? It 1248 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 1: gets a lot about how much money can I make 1249 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,720 Speaker 1: in my career? Not so I get it, you know 1250 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:34,920 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like in this environment, it'd be hard 1251 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 1: because they talk to each other and this right, and 1252 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 1: and guy like I had smart guys helping me say listen, bro, 1253 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 1: that's not how it is. Think about this. And you say, oh, yeah, 1254 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,519 Speaker 1: I see what you mean. Right, smart ones help the 1255 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 1: dumb ones. It's true. I know so they and and 1256 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,840 Speaker 1: plus they all have representation. The representation will see the 1257 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: thing for what it is. Yeah, And that's that's where 1258 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,559 Speaker 1: you get that. I think that's maybe a lot more 1259 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,679 Speaker 1: work for agents this officer. I think that maybe eight 1260 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 1: tactic and a plan that a lot of teams will use. 1261 01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 1: You want to just interesting to see if they go 1262 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 1: down that path, because you know you got dead money. 1263 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: To think about it, any team that doesn't have too 1264 01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,599 Speaker 1: much dead money, which the bill shouldn't don't have hardly 1265 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,120 Speaker 1: any that team is a candidate for this plan. If 1266 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 1: you got dead money, you can't do it anyway because 1267 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,200 Speaker 1: then you're gonna have more dead money. You don't have 1268 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 1: money to spend anyway, right, so you gotta do something else. 1269 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: But if you don't have any dead money, that's the 1270 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,880 Speaker 1: way to go. If you want to upgrade a lot 1271 01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: of positions. I don't know if you want that longer 1272 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 1: to do list in a restrictive cap situation, I understand 1273 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: you make it less restrictive by releasing players off your roster, 1274 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,600 Speaker 1: but to that degree that is just you have to 1275 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: have confidence that they're going to buy risk. That's the 1276 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: thing you got to have confidence with. Other teams are 1277 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna release some guys that are really gonna help you. Yeah, 1278 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 1: and also this too, think about it. This team in 1279 01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo this year completely different than they and we saw 1280 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:05,160 Speaker 1: twelve months ago, different identity, different strengths, different weaknesses. On average, 1281 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,799 Speaker 1: rosters turn over twenty five to thirty percent a season, 1282 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 1: so it's like ten to fifteen guys, right, it could 1283 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 1: be up to twenty this year, maybe more. We've seen 1284 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,000 Speaker 1: other teams like new head coaches come in and there's 1285 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 1: like twenty seven new guys. That kind of thing not often, 1286 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,639 Speaker 1: but could be certainly over the course of two years 1287 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,759 Speaker 1: this roster was there, it could be half the league 1288 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: with that kind of turnover. This right, right, So I 1289 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 1: don't think you should shy away from it because the 1290 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: players will see it for what it is.

I'm waiting for 1305 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: a doctor now to tell me I've picked the wrong 1306 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 1: part of the brain for that kind of stuff. That's 1307 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,679 Speaker 1: not exactly the memory center of the brain. There, Chris today, Yeah, 1308 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: go back to the phone.

I'm the one who faked being a 1313 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 1: photographer to get on the field. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, 1314 01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,639 Speaker 1: I remember that story. You're the one. Go ahead, Yeah, okay. 1315 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 1: So we get two tickets for the Champla Super Bowl 1316 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 1: two days before, no plane reservations, no hotel, nothing, and 1317 01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 1: we just I mean we just threw a bag together, 1318 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 1: ran to the airport, and I was a flight attendant, 1319 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,680 Speaker 1: so we had to stand by. So we had to 1320 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,919 Speaker 1: go from Buffalo to Chicago, Chicago to Dallas, Dallas to Miami. 1321 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 1: Runned this little convertible and drove to Tampa. And then 1322 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,680 Speaker 1: I thought, well, the worst comes to worst, we can 1323 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: sleep in the convertible, I guess. And the second call, 1324 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 1: we we had a hotel room and everyone's like, oh, 1325 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: don't go, don't go. So you know, we got there 1326 01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 1: and you know, it was just with my first experience, 1327 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: it was fabulous. And then in Minneapolis. In Minnesota, I 1328 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 1: remember you were saying how cold it was. Oh my god. 1329 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,720 Speaker 1: So we did it right. This time. We had the 1330 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,599 Speaker 1: plane and everything got off, felt like a celebrity. I mean, 1331 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 1: they're handing, it's all, oh, welcome, welcome, you know, and 1332 01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,280 Speaker 1: they're so so nice there. So we go to the 1333 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,559 Speaker 1: bill Spouts this day before the game, night before the game, 1334 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 1: and it like you said, Steve freezing, freezing, and we 1335 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,759 Speaker 1: closed it down. You know, we just closed down. Everybody 1336 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: got in their cow and went every girl Donna, and 1337 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 1: so we had no car. Yeah, we're we're trying to 1338 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 1: get a cab and the streets are pretty empties, like 1339 01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 1: two or three in the morning, I think, and close 1340 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 1: early I was walking by and he goes you're going 1341 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 1: to freeze the death. I said, I know. I said, 1342 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,040 Speaker 1: We're going to be sound dead in the snow bank 1343 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,840 Speaker 1: and missed the gate. He goes, we'll come back here, 1344 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 1: So we go. We followed him to the back of 1345 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 1: the bar and he has a bus, a city bus. 1346 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 1: He was off duty, and he drove us to our hotel, 1347 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 1: which is like a good five miles away. Wow, the 1348 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:35,799 Speaker 1: people were so fabulous, theory, and that's that's what you remember. 1349 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to tell you the bills weren't. 1350 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 1: Are my you know, the highlight of my life, absolutely so. 1351 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 1: But you know, it goes back a long way. That 1352 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 1: is that is Midwestern hospitality at its finest. Thanks Donna 1353 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: for that doing the right thing, shutting it, shutting the 1354 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 1: bar down. There you go a game, well done, getting it, 1355 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,200 Speaker 1: getting your getting your mind right. They do shut down 1356 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: early in other cities. I've noticed other thing. Yeah it's 1357 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: usually two I am, or it's four. Yeah, it's it's 1358 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: a little bit different. And shut it down so they 1359 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 1: can wipe the counters before they or drive the city 1360 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,639 Speaker 1: bus home for the morning route tomorrow. You got time 1361 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 1: to do that. When you close at two thirty, there's 1362 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 1: none of them going on here in Buffalo. Right, Yeah, 1363 01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 1: let's move along. We go to Diane and Pendleton. Diane, 1364 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,720 Speaker 1: what do you have here on one Bill's Live. Hi, 1365 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,680 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that my favorite memory of 1366 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 1: the Bills, actually the Bills Super Bowls was the response 1367 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: that the community had to wide right. I mean, it 1368 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 1: made me proud of the city that I live in 1369 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 1: and the people that this community to support what could 1370 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: have been a terrible thing for Scott Norwood, but I 1371 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,839 Speaker 1: think we all showed him the sport and we're true fans. Yeah, Yeah, 1372 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 1: that was that had to be a rough few days 1373 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,840 Speaker 1: for him. That was probably the precursor to what we 1374 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,400 Speaker 1: see now, and not even back how about it. Even 1375 01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 1: back then, Bills fans were a little bit cut from 1376 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,680 Speaker 1: a little bit different cloth, and and I see what 1377 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you're connecting the charitable efforts 1378 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 1: that we see from Bill's mafia now all the way back. Yeah, 1379 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,639 Speaker 1: that was a precursor. Right, that's a good link, Steve, 1380 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,720 Speaker 1: Well done, Thank you. Way to link the generation. I 1381 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,400 Speaker 1: mean that's where it started, right, I mean, that's the 1382 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 1: first glimpse you got of of this fan base spinning 1383 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,240 Speaker 1: something positive. Out of you know, what was thought to 1384 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 1: be the worst thing ever and and doing something different. 1385 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,479 Speaker 1: I mean he had to probably feel lower than low. 1386 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 1: And I mean for the fans that are too young 1387 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: to remember this, like everybody's in Niagara Square. You've got 1388 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,720 Speaker 1: like three hundred thousand people there, and you know, I 1389 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,880 Speaker 1: don't think you guys even expected to get some kind 1390 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: of welcome home like that after losing. And you know, 1391 01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 1: I guess Marv informed you guys. Oh, you know, the 1392 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,080 Speaker 1: mayor wants us to come downtown. Like, well, how did 1393 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: that all? I don't have a clue. I was on 1394 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,840 Speaker 1: a flight to Hawaii. Oh you didn't go Okay, there's 1395 01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 1: like six or eight of its. Yeah, there's a story 1396 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,479 Speaker 1: along with that too, Okay, but yeah I didn't. I 1397 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 1: didn't go to any of them. Yeah, I didn't go 1398 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 1: to any of them. Um, so season's over. I'm I was. 1399 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 1: I was on a plane to Honolulu there after all 1400 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 1: four Super Bowls, which was not it was better than 1401 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 1: a sharp stick in the eye. But I never got 1402 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 1: to see them the homecoming person. Yeah, so, I mean 1403 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 1: they so a few guys got up and spoke, and 1404 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of awkward. It had to 1405 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,160 Speaker 1: be awkward for players, and you know, Marvzo was good 1406 01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,320 Speaker 1: in those situations. So you know, he said all the 1407 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,720 Speaker 1: right things and this and that, and all of a 1408 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 1: sudden in the crowd they start, you know, we want Scott, 1409 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: we want Scott, and you know he's trying to hide 1410 01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 1: at this point in time, the poor guy, after the 1411 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 1: way the game went the last time. I mean, he's 1412 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,960 Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours removed from the damn thing, right, 1413 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,040 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they finally shoved him forward to 1414 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: just say a few words. But he was nice too. 1415 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,640 Speaker 1: He was a poignant You could tell he appreciated it 1416 01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:02,280 Speaker 1: um more than I think people realize. Yeah, the Bills 1417 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,599 Speaker 1: fans gave him a lift when he needed it most, 1418 01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,880 Speaker 1: because I mean, that guy was in the depths of 1419 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 1: despair and there's no way to pull yourself out of that, 1420 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,400 Speaker 1: not to mention the fact you're not playing again for 1421 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: another nine months, Yeah, not without help. So yeah, so 1422 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,600 Speaker 1: that's yeah, that is a precursor. You're right. So the 1423 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,240 Speaker 1: story for the rest of us who didn't get home 1424 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 1: for that, Yeah, let me hear this was like Jim Thurman, 1425 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 1: Bruce me, Biscuit, Darryl. There's a six or seven of us. 1426 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: I think, I'm not sure exactly how many. There's a 1427 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: ton of us, and we had to be up and 1428 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,240 Speaker 1: out of the hotel, like we had to be at 1429 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,559 Speaker 1: the airport in a room ready to go at like 1430 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 1: seven am.

Yes, okay, 1436 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: that's why I'm right. I forgot that the Pro Bowl 1437 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: used to be after the Super Bowl.

It was like three 1479 01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 1: hours right off that early sit on a plane on 1480 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,080 Speaker 1: the target exactly.

Yeah, it was not a great way 1493 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 1: to start the star start Pro Bowl week. I might 1494 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:17,040 Speaker 1: have taken a sharp stick in the twenty three hours 1495 01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 1: everybody rather getting hit with sticks. But and that was 1496 01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 1: after getting that was afterwide right, Yeah, I was was 1497 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,840 Speaker 1: a rough forty eight hour double whammy there. Back to 1498 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 1: the phones and to Dave and Buffalo, who's been waiting patiently? David, 1499 01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,040 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. 1500 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 1: Thank you guys, the great show. Steve. Let me say 1501 01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 1: to you, hanging there, brother, you're gonna make the Super 1502 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: Bowl because you are going to break the class ceiling 1503 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:47,639 Speaker 1: of a segment of the game that's not represented. Hanging there, guys, 1504 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 1: I want to take you back to the first Super Bowl, 1505 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:59,599 Speaker 1: the AFL championship game between Kansas City and Buffalo played here. Yeah, yeah, 1506 01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:06,040 Speaker 1: jen were at first nineteen sixty six. Buffalo was a 1507 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 1: vast superior team actually than Kansas City because back in 1508 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 1: those days, the old adage was teams win games, but 1509 01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 1: defenses win championship, and we had won the two previous 1510 01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:25,719 Speaker 1: AFL championships sixty four sixty five. Well, that game, believe 1511 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 1: it or not, actually turned on one play, and it 1512 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:34,519 Speaker 1: was an interception from Kemp to Johnny Robinson from the 1513 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:38,799 Speaker 1: k C twelve yard line into the end zone. Because 1514 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 1: up to that point it was really a battle of 1515 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,639 Speaker 1: two Titans, and Buffalo was really ahead, if you will. 1516 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:50,400 Speaker 1: But moving on to the Super Bowl itself, which was 1517 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 1: played in sixty seven, it wasn't called Super Bowl then, 1518 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 1: it was called World Championship Game AFL versus NFL. Green 1519 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:03,720 Speaker 1: Bay beat the living daylights out of Kansas City, and 1520 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,720 Speaker 1: I daresay, guys, and I think I'm at this on 1521 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:11,639 Speaker 1: well authority, Kansas City green Bay would not have handled 1522 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo in the same way that I think green Bay 1523 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 1: still would have won the game. Though, as I said, 1524 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: the old adage back in sixty six was defenses win championships, 1525 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,679 Speaker 1: and we had a top flight defense back in those days. 1526 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 1: So I've got a stick with Buffalo and saying no, 1527 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 1: but the game would have been much closer than the 1528 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 1: thirty five ten at Green Bay put on Kansas City. 1529 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,559 Speaker 1: If they had won, it would have been maybe twenty 1530 01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:45,080 Speaker 1: one seventeen, but it certainly wouldn't have been so lopsided. Yeah, 1531 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,360 Speaker 1: I hear you. Yeah. And from that game, guys, the 1532 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:54,840 Speaker 1: NFL began to feel superior to the AFL and it 1533 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 1: took us many years to get over that and re 1534 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 1: established ourselves as a team with a priority with the NFC. Yeah, 1535 01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:08,320 Speaker 1: and uh, obviously the AFL didn't get any respect until 1536 01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Amath and the Jets Super Bowls two years, 1537 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 1: the Bowl three. Yeah, um, and then the Chiefs came 1538 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 1: back and won in Super Bowl four. Right, So it 1539 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,840 Speaker 1: was two straight Super Bowls that they had won, the 1540 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,639 Speaker 1: third and the fourth. So yeah, it certainly helped. Yeah, 1541 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 1: And once the merger happened, Um, I still think there 1542 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,920 Speaker 1: was some lingering biases in the media and also in 1543 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,479 Speaker 1: the coaching right ranks of the coaches around the NFL, 1544 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 1: that that the NFC NFC was superior for a while 1545 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 1: over top to bottom college players that were drafted by 1546 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 1: both leagues sometimes would right side with the NFL. Right, 1547 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:44,800 Speaker 1: there was a there was a Yeah, it was two 1548 01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 1: different drafts, and in fact, Super Bowl one was broadcast 1549 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 1: by two networks live because the AFL rights were with 1550 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: NBC NBC and the NFL rights or yeah, the NFL 1551 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:02,840 Speaker 1: rights were with THEE They were CBS. Yeah, I don't know. 1552 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,000 Speaker 1: It might have been ABC. So both of those um 1553 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 1: entities broadcast the game live. Yeah, two different networks. It's 1554 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,320 Speaker 1: the only time has ever happened. Amazing break time for us. 1555 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 1: But Dick and Hamburg, Dick and Depew, hang tight, we'll 1556 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 1: get to you when we return.

Um, my wife and I 1565 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,599 Speaker 1: attended Super Bowl twenty seven. I've been to all four 1566 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: of them. I'm a fifty years fifty four years season 1567 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,640 Speaker 1: to get older it but anyway, we read seven. We 1568 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 1: had a park. It was more than a quarter but 1569 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: less than a half a mile away and walk through 1570 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 1: these fields to get to the stadium. As we're going through, 1571 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,160 Speaker 1: I hear all these helicopters. Now I'm a Vietnam veteran, 1572 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,720 Speaker 1: and I know what a huee sound like. I look 1573 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,759 Speaker 1: up to I left in the sky and there are 1574 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:24,680 Speaker 1: probably seven or eight hue's. What happened is they came in, 1575 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 1: they landed, and off the helicopter comes I don't remember 1576 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 1: exactly which order they were in. Johnny Carson and Egg began. 1577 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 1: Helicopter takes off, next helicopter comes down, John Wayne, Jay 1578 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 1: Leno and somebody else and seven helicopters did this. They 1579 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:45,720 Speaker 1: dropped off the celebrities and they took off. Do they 1580 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,080 Speaker 1: have special privileges which where they pay for to get 1581 01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 1: in there? Apparently? Yeah, I'll tell you this. I would 1582 01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 1: bet upwards of five to six figures for that kind 1583 01:28:55,840 --> 01:29:04,639 Speaker 1: of accommodations. Yeah, here's no. I think those people are comped, 1584 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 1: but not by the NFL. They're comped by corporate sponsors 1585 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,120 Speaker 1: of the NFL. So what will happen is like Budweiser 1586 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 1: or Nike or Reebok or New Era or anybody, Yeah, 1587 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 1: ibn any big Rock Super Bowl game sponsor Walmart. You know, 1588 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 1: one of these big corporations has a corporate partnership with 1589 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:28,440 Speaker 1: the with the NFL, and as a result, they negotiate, 1590 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 1: you know, fifty tickets to the game, and then once 1591 01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 1: that's done, then they just throw the money at it 1592 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 1: and say, listen, we're gonna bring in this guy, this guy, 1593 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: this guy, this girl, this girl.

And we're 1609 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,920 Speaker 1: sitting at these long tables, sitting across from each other, 1610 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,519 Speaker 1: and in walks this guy with a big Texas hat 1611 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,639 Speaker 1: on and his wife, and I introduced myself and he said, 1612 01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:37,799 Speaker 1: they are celebrating. They just bought a ranch. The front 1613 01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:42,200 Speaker 1: gate is thirteen miles from the ranch house, and he 1614 01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 1: and his wife just flew their own private jet in 1615 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:50,000 Speaker 1: to catch the game. So anyway, when they when they 1616 01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 1: get up to leave, I said, well, bet on the 1617 01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,519 Speaker 1: bills or root for the bills? He said I better, 1618 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,880 Speaker 1: he said, because I bet big, big money on the bill. 1619 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 1: Not one big, but two bigs. Okay. So later on 1620 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 1: that night, we're at another restaurant in Largo, Florida. It's midnight, 1621 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:11,880 Speaker 1: and all the Bills fans are there and they're hooping 1622 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and holland along. About midnight in the front door comes 1623 01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Ralph Wilson and a buddy of his. Now this is 1624 01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,280 Speaker 1: at a saloon. The name of the place that's no 1625 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:29,000 Speaker 1: longer in existence, but was called Nicols City in Largo Florida. 1626 01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,200 Speaker 1: At midnight, Ralph Wilson walks in the door. All the 1627 01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:34,599 Speaker 1: rest of the owners are, of course over in Tampa. 1628 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: What hobnobbing at? You know? I was a Ralph Wilson 1629 01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 1: fan on my life, but that really solidified. He bought 1630 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:47,559 Speaker 1: the whole place a drink. Everybody is shouting ralf for Elf, 1631 01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,960 Speaker 1: for Elf features. Arona walks out at the next day 1632 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: where at the game, I had five tickets, twour together, 1633 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,120 Speaker 1: two other we're together. I'm sitting off by myself, guys 1634 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 1: right in the midst giant fans. The game progresses, I'm 1635 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: sitting there with that New York City accent, you know, 1636 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,160 Speaker 1: moved the change, moved to change. Anyway, it comes to 1637 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:12,719 Speaker 1: Steve Chriskie's field goal attempt and the guy in front 1638 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,559 Speaker 1: of me turns around. He says, has this SOB got 1639 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,799 Speaker 1: a chance in making this? And you know the length 1640 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:25,120 Speaker 1: of the grass, Steve, you can testify it just wasn't conducive. 1641 01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: I said, no, I don't think so obviously. Anyway, bottom line, 1642 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,280 Speaker 1: I drove a motor home down so on the way home. 1643 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,120 Speaker 1: The topic of conversation is just what would you think 1644 01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,360 Speaker 1: that a guy that bought a ranch. That was thirteen 1645 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 1: miles from the front gate to the ranch house. What 1646 01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:47,280 Speaker 1: do you think big big money would have been that 1647 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:49,839 Speaker 1: he lost on that. It's got to be six figures. 1648 01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:53,080 Speaker 1: I think the only question is did he did he 1649 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:54,960 Speaker 1: pick the bill straight up or did he pick him 1650 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 1: to cover? Because they covered right. And this is something else, 1651 01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, when he sat down, I bought and his 1652 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,120 Speaker 1: wife I bought him a picture of beer. Well, the 1653 01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 1: guy got up after topick, after shooting the breeze for 1654 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 1: about fifteen twenty minutes, the guy got up and he 1655 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:17,679 Speaker 1: never ever reciprocated, Oh boy, your back. Well, I guess 1656 01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:20,559 Speaker 1: he got what was coming to him then there he 1657 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,439 Speaker 1: didn't win his bet. All right, good stuff there, Dick. 1658 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing with us. We appreciate it. We have 1659 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 1: to take a break. But when we come back from 1660 01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 1: SI dot com, One connor Or, who's been busy writing 1661 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:35,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff for SI dot com, including the 1662 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 1: genius of Brian Dable. The best way to determine the 1663 01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,640 Speaker 1: NFL champion is the super Bowl. The best way to 1664 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 1: do it. We address all of these things and more 1665 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,439 Speaker 1: with One connor Or when we return. You're on One 1666 01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,320 Speaker 1: Bill's Live Presented by Kalaida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. 1667 01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 1: Hello Bills Radio Network Sports Pure Sports update from One 1668 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,120 Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. The NHL announcing Tuesday that the Sabers will 1669 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,640 Speaker 1: postpone their season until the least February eighth due to 1670 01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen issues. Two players on the team have entered 1671 01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:15,080 Speaker 1: the league's COVID protocols, causing the pause in play. As 1672 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:18,719 Speaker 1: a result, the team's facilities have been closed until further notice. 1673 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 1: There's no timeline determined on when the facilities will open. 1674 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,719 Speaker 1: At this point, the pause of play could mean issues 1675 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,719 Speaker 1: with the schedule, so the league is looking at making 1676 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:31,200 Speaker 1: changes to their current slate of games. Former NFL head 1677 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,679 Speaker 1: coach Marty Schottenheimer, who was also a backup linebacker during 1678 01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,599 Speaker 1: the Bill's AFL days, was moved to a hospice facility 1679 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 1: near his home in Charlotte, North Carolina, after complications from 1680 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 1: his Alzheimer's disease. John Nimer's diagnosed back in twenty fourteen. 1681 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 1: He's in stable condition, but his wife Pat released the 1682 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 1: following statement quote, As a family, we are surrounding him 1683 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 1: with love and are soaking up the prayers and support 1684 01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,400 Speaker 1: from all those he impacted. Through his incredible life and 1685 01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:00,559 Speaker 1: the way he taught us all. We are one foot 1686 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,800 Speaker 1: in front of the other, one play at a time. 1687 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 1: Vincent Bonsignor of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports at 1688 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,320 Speaker 1: several NFL insiders expect the Raiders to field calls regarding 1689 01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 1: a potential trade of quarterback Derek Carr. Bonsiyor suggests that 1690 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:18,639 Speaker 1: the expected demand for Car could result in a three 1691 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:22,400 Speaker 1: team trade that would result in the Raiders trading Car 1692 01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:27,280 Speaker 1: and acquiring quarterback to Shaun Watson from the Texans. And 1693 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,920 Speaker 1: The National Lacrosse League has canceled its plans for an 1694 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,080 Speaker 1: abbreviated twenty twenty one season to begin in April due 1695 01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 1: to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The league said it is 1696 01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 1: planning for a full twenty one twenty twenty two season 1697 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 1: to begin in the fall. Two NLL members, the Buffalo 1698 01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:45,799 Speaker 1: Bandits and Rochester Nighthawks, are both owned by Pugula Sports 1699 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,479 Speaker 1: and Entertainment. That is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. 1700 01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,559 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you our number three of 1701 01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,479 Speaker 1: the program here on a Wednesday, as we're broadcasting live 1702 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,719 Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park and joining 1703 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:02,400 Speaker 1: us on the line right now. A columnist for SI 1704 01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: dot com also does some MMQB work. He's been busy. 1705 01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,559 Speaker 1: I mean, the football season is over and this guy 1706 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,520 Speaker 1: has been rolling. Steve also host of the week Side podcast. 1707 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 1: It is one Connor or joining us. Connor, how you're doing, 1708 01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Chris and Steve here with you. Thanks for giving us 1709 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 1: some time. Yeah, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. 1710 01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:22,640 Speaker 1: So I gotta say, We've got a long list of 1711 01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 1: stuff here that you've that you've put together recently on 1712 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 1: SI dot com, And I gotta say the one that 1713 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:32,960 Speaker 1: grabbed me was this this fictional situation that you weaved, 1714 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:37,360 Speaker 1: um like a banquet kite type scenario where Scott Norwood's 1715 01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:40,479 Speaker 1: there with all these other guys, UH gathered together for 1716 01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league over the years. And 1717 01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 1: it's basically a fictitional, fictional way of kind of presenting that, Well, 1718 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,000 Speaker 1: maybe the Super Bowl isn't the best way to pick 1719 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,640 Speaker 1: a true champion of the league. And I know in 1720 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:59,040 Speaker 1: there you hinted at maybe a best out of three 1721 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 1: game scenario to determine a champion. Is that kind of 1722 01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:07,000 Speaker 1: the way you would go if you had your druthers? Well, 1723 01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 1: we were arguing about it at the office, and I 1724 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,960 Speaker 1: think it's just an interesting thought, Like, you know, you 1725 01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: look back at some of the teams that have won 1726 01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowls and how that changes somebody's life and trajectory, 1727 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:21,599 Speaker 1: and really, that whole week is so insane, and you know, 1728 01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 1: everything is so heightened, and I guess you could argue that, 1729 01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, a true Super Bowl champion can weather all 1730 01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,559 Speaker 1: that pressure in that intensity. But I think on the 1731 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:33,599 Speaker 1: other hand, it's like, who is actually the better team here? 1732 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,599 Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of instances over the years, 1733 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 1: we've gotten much better statistical ways of viewing these teams. 1734 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:41,320 Speaker 1: You know, they don't always win the best team, and 1735 01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:43,080 Speaker 1: so I don't know, I thought the best of three 1736 01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:45,320 Speaker 1: might be kind of interesting. And of course the NFL 1737 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 1: could milk more time and money yet so what's wrong 1738 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 1: with that? Yeah? And like most Super Bowls, this one's 1739 01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:53,880 Speaker 1: got a ton of great storylines and a lot of 1740 01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:58,080 Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. What is your favorite headline about 1741 01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:02,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five that the arabs you out of this? Well, 1742 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean all week I've been saying that. You know, 1743 01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about Kansas City's offensive line, but 1744 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,240 Speaker 1: we're not nearly talking enough about it. I mean that 1745 01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:16,040 Speaker 1: that situation, that injury situation, combined with Tampa's edge rushers 1746 01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 1: their ability to create pressure. I mean, they're already so 1747 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,760 Speaker 1: good at creating interior pressure with the way the Todd 1748 01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:24,559 Speaker 1: Bowls runs that defense. And you have Jason Fireball and 1749 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,960 Speaker 1: Shaq Barrett on the outside, and so even if your 1750 01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:29,920 Speaker 1: best offensive lineman on the inside are having trouble and 1751 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,160 Speaker 1: then your worst offensive lineman on the outside have those 1752 01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,759 Speaker 1: difficult one on one matchups. Going to be really interesting 1753 01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 1: to see how Patrick Mahomes handles all that I know 1754 01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,640 Speaker 1: leading up to the AFC title game. You put a 1755 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:45,400 Speaker 1: piece together on Brian Jable, and you know why he 1756 01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:49,320 Speaker 1: has been able to push this offense forward to the 1757 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,240 Speaker 1: point where they were the second highest scoring team in 1758 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:52,920 Speaker 1: the league this year. I think they were second in 1759 01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:59,320 Speaker 1: scoring percentage, you know, drive scoring percentage, etc. And you went, 1760 01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,560 Speaker 1: you dug into some of his prior coaching connections. You 1761 01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,519 Speaker 1: went to Mike Locksley, who would you know, worked with 1762 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 1: him in Alabama, now the head coach in Maryland. I 1763 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:12,240 Speaker 1: was fascinated that Locksley was so willing to divulge all 1764 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:15,000 Speaker 1: the ins and outs of all of these plays, which 1765 01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:19,120 Speaker 1: was great reading. But what was your biggest takeaway after 1766 01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:23,320 Speaker 1: talking to Locksley and pairing up his comments with maybe 1767 01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,559 Speaker 1: what your hunch told you about what day Ball did 1768 01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 1: for this Bill's offense this year. Well, just how expertly 1769 01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:34,120 Speaker 1: I think he's able to diagnose a defense and then 1770 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: pick it apart with a specific play. I mean, there's 1771 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:40,639 Speaker 1: so many layers to a given Bills play where you'll 1772 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 1: have one guy, maybe a tight end that doesn't even 1773 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:45,639 Speaker 1: have a primary route on that play that he's doing 1774 01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:48,719 Speaker 1: two or three things. He's chipping, you know, t J. Watt, 1775 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,760 Speaker 1: He's drawing a linebacker inside from the zone to give 1776 01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,000 Speaker 1: room to Stephan Diggs. And it really is the best 1777 01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 1: of what Tom Brady and the Patriots did, except you 1778 01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,280 Speaker 1: have a more athletic quarterback and you know, maybe Josh 1779 01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:03,360 Speaker 1: Allen I'm not saying is better than Tom Brady, but 1780 01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:06,080 Speaker 1: there's things physically he can do that tom Brady can't 1781 01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 1: do him. So it's almost like we're reimagining some of 1782 01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:12,639 Speaker 1: the better years of the Patriots offense with a different quarterback, 1783 01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,599 Speaker 1: and I think that's really exciting. The biggest takeaway I 1784 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:21,759 Speaker 1: took from it is how effectively Dable reduces the choices 1785 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,280 Speaker 1: for the quarterback. In other words, it's almost like when 1786 01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,479 Speaker 1: you're when you're a kid in school taking a multiple 1787 01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:29,559 Speaker 1: choice test and it's like, well, you know, two of 1788 01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:31,400 Speaker 1: these are obviously not the answer, and if you can 1789 01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,599 Speaker 1: get it down to two, you got a better chance 1790 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:35,639 Speaker 1: of getting a better grade on the test. He almost 1791 01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,320 Speaker 1: applies that in a weird way too. You know, the 1792 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,479 Speaker 1: answer is on a given play. I mean you were 1793 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:43,599 Speaker 1: talking about that in the rite up, you know, BC, 1794 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:48,880 Speaker 1: BC and D and weed out A and e um. Yeah. Yeah, 1795 01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,120 Speaker 1: Mike Locksley said, it's like it's like SAT prep. And 1796 01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:55,800 Speaker 1: I think that's the credit to Dable for understanding kind 1797 01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,839 Speaker 1: of how best people learn. And that's half the battle, 1798 01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:02,400 Speaker 1: right is you know how people process information, how different 1799 01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,200 Speaker 1: people break stuff down. And this was going all the 1800 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:07,519 Speaker 1: way back to I mean, Brian Dable is the guy 1801 01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,920 Speaker 1: that had to come up with an entirely different set 1802 01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:11,880 Speaker 1: of plays for two a tongue of Voloh. He came 1803 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: in at halftime in the championship game. And you already 1804 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:16,280 Speaker 1: have to know what your quarterback likes there. You have 1805 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,479 Speaker 1: to know what the defense is giving you, and then 1806 01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:20,920 Speaker 1: how He's going to think about things and process things. 1807 01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: And I mean him and Josh Allen right now just 1808 01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,360 Speaker 1: have a tremendous relationship that I think is paying dividends. 1809 01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,120 Speaker 1: And if I'm a Builds fan, you know, as surprised 1810 01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,000 Speaker 1: as I was that Brian Dable didn't get a head 1811 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,840 Speaker 1: coaching job, I'm pretty thankful. Also, Yeah, I would agree 1812 01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 1: with you, And you brought up something interesting to me. 1813 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,879 Speaker 1: And all these coaches have idiosyncrasies and things they do. 1814 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 1: You mentioned Brian Dable's playsheet and how when when Nick 1815 01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 1: Saban switched from Jalen Hurds to tah at halftime of 1816 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,120 Speaker 1: a National Championship game, Dayball had a list of plays 1817 01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:55,200 Speaker 1: up in the upper upper right hand corner of his playsheet. 1818 01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:00,400 Speaker 1: Explain what happens on that play sheet when day Ball 1819 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:01,960 Speaker 1: has to go to a different quarterback and what his 1820 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:05,080 Speaker 1: philosophy is. Yeah, so when he has a quarterback in 1821 01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:07,559 Speaker 1: the game, he's got that short list of plays that 1822 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,360 Speaker 1: they've run in practice that the quarterback is totally comfortable list, 1823 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,760 Speaker 1: and like the plays that they make with the most 1824 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,840 Speaker 1: regularities that they like the most. And these come from 1825 01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:20,760 Speaker 1: observations and practice. Obviously, conversations with your quarterback like, hey, 1826 01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, what do you really like here? What throw 1827 01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 1: do you really feel strong making? And those plays are 1828 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 1: always on the ready. And so I mean, obviously the 1829 01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 1: TA throw to win the National championship game that everybody 1830 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 1: talks about, that was one of two his favorite plays, 1831 01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:37,000 Speaker 1: the play that he made in practice with regularity and 1832 01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:39,040 Speaker 1: with some comfort, and so he knew that he could 1833 01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,639 Speaker 1: call that in tight situation. And you know Mike Loxley, 1834 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:44,800 Speaker 1: so there's no doubt that he's doing that in Buffalo too. 1835 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you just see Josh Allen makes 1836 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,160 Speaker 1: some of these confidence throws sometimes and it has to 1837 01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,920 Speaker 1: be from a place where he knows what he's doing 1838 01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,320 Speaker 1: and that he's made those throws many times before. And 1839 01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,040 Speaker 1: then speaking of quarterbacks, obviously we had the big trade 1840 01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:02,360 Speaker 1: this past week in with you know, Goff going to Detroit, 1841 01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 1: Stafford going to LA and basically LA paying Detroit in 1842 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:10,040 Speaker 1: the form of draft picks to take the Goff salary 1843 01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:15,520 Speaker 1: off their hands. But I thought, I thought your description 1844 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 1: of what less Sneed has done, which is basically max 1845 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:20,760 Speaker 1: out the credit cards, is probably the best way to 1846 01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:23,839 Speaker 1: describe what he's done here with the team's draft capital 1847 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,679 Speaker 1: number one and taking on you know, a fair amount 1848 01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:32,439 Speaker 1: of veteran player salary himself. So he just has no 1849 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:38,519 Speaker 1: concern for dead money whatsoever. And I mean, whether it works, 1850 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,599 Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out. But you can only do 1851 01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,400 Speaker 1: that for so long, right right, I mean, if the 1852 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,640 Speaker 1: Rams don't win the Super Bowl this year, during a 1853 01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 1: lot of trouble, a lot of trouble, and I think 1854 01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,720 Speaker 1: less Seed might be in a lot of trouble. And 1855 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think that that, you know, I think 1856 01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,320 Speaker 1: that that probably precipitated some of the movement that we've seen. 1857 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,519 Speaker 1: And you know, the arguments that I get back in 1858 01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 1: return all the time, or well, this is what the 1859 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:05,360 Speaker 1: Seahawks do, this is what the Patriots do. They trade 1860 01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 1: unknown commodities, you know, lottery tickets for known commodities. And 1861 01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 1: I think that there's an element of that that's true. 1862 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,160 Speaker 1: But you can only do that for so long. The 1863 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,439 Speaker 1: Patriots have to rebuild. Now, the Seahawks, you know, had 1864 01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,320 Speaker 1: they not had Russell Wilson, I think would have needed 1865 01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,599 Speaker 1: to rebuild by now. And so I think that at 1866 01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:25,720 Speaker 1: some point here the Rams are going to have to 1867 01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,960 Speaker 1: confront what they've done. Not having a first round pick 1868 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 1: from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty three is bad enough, 1869 01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:36,160 Speaker 1: But I think not using those picks to trade back 1870 01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 1: to get some more mid round selections to really build 1871 01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,840 Speaker 1: the middle class or roster, that's what they're going to 1872 01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:43,599 Speaker 1: miss the most, I think, And that's what they're gonna 1873 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,200 Speaker 1: be the most trouble replicating. And I get that. You know, 1874 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:48,320 Speaker 1: if the Rams do not win the Super Bowl, they 1875 01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:50,080 Speaker 1: could be in a lot of trouble next year. But 1876 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,439 Speaker 1: aren't they in a lot of trouble even if they 1877 01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,840 Speaker 1: do win the Super Bowl? The check the bill is 1878 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,840 Speaker 1: going to come do whether they're winning or not at 1879 01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:03,559 Speaker 1: the present moment. Correct, Correct, But I think if you're 1880 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,880 Speaker 1: a person in the position of pulling the levers there, 1881 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:10,160 Speaker 1: you're only concerned about buying yourself a few more years 1882 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 1: and then you'll fix it after that. You know. It's like, 1883 01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's like buying lottery tickets with your credit card. 1884 01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, at one point maybe you might hit on it, 1885 01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,519 Speaker 1: and then you don't worry about it as much. I mean, 1886 01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:21,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of ways the same thing could 1887 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:23,960 Speaker 1: be said for to light down at Tampa Bay. Earlier 1888 01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:25,880 Speaker 1: this year, we were kind of calling him crazy for 1889 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,679 Speaker 1: going all in on Tom Brady, loading up a roster 1890 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,400 Speaker 1: with promising young talent and then forcing them to sit 1891 01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:33,400 Speaker 1: behind all these thirty year olds that you know no 1892 01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's offense, and either they are in the Super Bowl. 1893 01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,240 Speaker 1: And so I think that Jason Light was one of 1894 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,160 Speaker 1: those guys that people were talking about as you know, 1895 01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the Roberto Oglio guy, that's the guy who 1896 01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:45,280 Speaker 1: keeps making all these mistakes with all these players. But 1897 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:47,920 Speaker 1: now he's a Super Bowl GM and so you know, 1898 01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:51,200 Speaker 1: life changes pretty quickly for guys in those positions. You 1899 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:57,120 Speaker 1: recently put together the grading system for every NFL head 1900 01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,840 Speaker 1: coach that got hired. I understand that why you have 1901 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 1: Sala there at the top. I mean he was going 1902 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:05,479 Speaker 1: to be in demand. He was a guy that I 1903 01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:09,599 Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent sure the Jets could land. Would 1904 01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,320 Speaker 1: you have given the same grade of A to the 1905 01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,200 Speaker 1: Jets for hiring Salah if he did not bring Mike 1906 01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:18,679 Speaker 1: Lafleur with him. How might that have changed your grade 1907 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:20,680 Speaker 1: if he wasn't able to bring him with him from 1908 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,840 Speaker 1: Sam France at least the letter grade down Because like 1909 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, you guys have seen there what an offensive 1910 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 1: system can do to change the course of a franchise. 1911 01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:35,320 Speaker 1: And like the Shanahan system, there's a reason now that 1912 01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:37,680 Speaker 1: about half the NFL is running it right now. I 1913 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 1: mean the Tight the Packers, the Falcons are going to 1914 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,680 Speaker 1: run it this year. Falcons ran it when they made 1915 01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:44,600 Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl. There's so many teams that 1916 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,479 Speaker 1: are just paying through the teeth to get a piece 1917 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,800 Speaker 1: of this. And Lafleur was one of those guys that 1918 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:51,240 Speaker 1: I think is going to be a head coach in 1919 01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 1: two or three years anyway. And if he can come 1920 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:55,879 Speaker 1: in and even if they don't get to Shaun Watson, 1921 01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:59,000 Speaker 1: get Sam Darnold, right like, that's worth its weight in 1922 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:00,720 Speaker 1: gold there. For the Jets to know that they have 1923 01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:03,679 Speaker 1: a quarterback, to have a guy who can run that system, 1924 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,920 Speaker 1: to have him tutor the guy that will probably replace 1925 01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 1: him once he gets a head coaching job, all that 1926 01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,400 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I mean, that's so important. And so 1927 01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:14,200 Speaker 1: that's something that the Jets really haven't had, if you 1928 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:16,400 Speaker 1: go back to even before Rex Ryan, they haven't had 1929 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:19,360 Speaker 1: an offensive identity at a long time. And so to 1930 01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:22,000 Speaker 1: have that kind of that strength and that idea there, 1931 01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:24,200 Speaker 1: I think is going to be a gigantic deal for them. 1932 01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,720 Speaker 1: What is the next big surprise if you can look 1933 01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,960 Speaker 1: into a crystal ball, or maybe just take a wild 1934 01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,519 Speaker 1: shot in the dark, what's the next big surprise in 1935 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:37,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback market this year? Oh, that's a good that's 1936 01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 1: a good question. Um. Vinnie bon Signor from The Vegas 1937 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,400 Speaker 1: Review Journal had had that thing about Derek Carr. And 1938 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, I remember talking to people, um, you know, 1939 01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:52,000 Speaker 1: in the car kind of circle last year, and there 1940 01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,519 Speaker 1: was a sense that maybe the Raiders would get involved 1941 01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,559 Speaker 1: in the Tom Brady sweepstakes. Um, there was you know, 1942 01:47:57,640 --> 01:47:59,920 Speaker 1: cars years were perked up, certainly when they were working 1943 01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:04,080 Speaker 1: out Kyler Murray before that another quarterbacks, And so I 1944 01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,840 Speaker 1: think that there's you know, never really been that full 1945 01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,920 Speaker 1: sense of commitment in love despite the fact that carbs 1946 01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,640 Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback this year, and I think a 1947 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:15,040 Speaker 1: lot of teams would line up to pay a mid 1948 01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:17,679 Speaker 1: to high draft pick to get him. So I think 1949 01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:20,720 Speaker 1: that him entering the Fray would be interesting. I don't 1950 01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:24,200 Speaker 1: think Watson would go to Las Vegas necessarily unless this 1951 01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:27,320 Speaker 1: is the only way out. But you know, I think 1952 01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,559 Speaker 1: that maybe we're not done in terms of seeing another 1953 01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,439 Speaker 1: one of these guys enter the market and throw their 1954 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: hat into the ring. Here going back to you know, 1955 01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,160 Speaker 1: the head coaches that were hired, I know you gave 1956 01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:40,320 Speaker 1: the Chargers a good grade for Brandon Staley. We were 1957 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,280 Speaker 1: genuinely concerned here, knowing that Dable was a finalist for 1958 01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 1: that job, that the Bills were going to lose him 1959 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:50,200 Speaker 1: to the Chargers. And then Staley gets hired like in 1960 01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:53,439 Speaker 1: a snap of a finger, like over the weekend. And 1961 01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:55,559 Speaker 1: this is even before this is like a week before 1962 01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:59,559 Speaker 1: the AFC title game. And I know there was buzz 1963 01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,479 Speaker 1: on Stale, but from everything that you had heard, was 1964 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 1: there I mean, was there more widespread buzz on him 1965 01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:10,160 Speaker 1: than there was on Dabele. I had heard stuff connecting 1966 01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 1: Dable to the Charger's job from very early on in 1967 01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 1: the process. I think when I put together my last 1968 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,640 Speaker 1: head coaching search, that was who I had paired him 1969 01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:21,080 Speaker 1: up with. I thought that made the most sense. That's 1970 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,800 Speaker 1: what people were saying at the time. But you know, 1971 01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:28,080 Speaker 1: credit to Tom Telesco. He planned this one. Luck was 1972 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,600 Speaker 1: the one who said that, you know, m Staley was 1973 01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,160 Speaker 1: his guy all along. I think that I would say 1974 01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:36,720 Speaker 1: that Staley probably emerged as more than just a dark 1975 01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:41,040 Speaker 1: horse candidate, and probably like December, you know, there started 1976 01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,479 Speaker 1: to be a lot of chatter talking about him. I 1977 01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:45,720 Speaker 1: think they were on that run there where he was 1978 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 1: allowing the fewest second half points for a defensive coordinator 1979 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,080 Speaker 1: in history. They got knocked off that path a little 1980 01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 1: bit towards the end of the year. But you know 1981 01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:58,519 Speaker 1: that your connection with McVeagh there, your relative youth, you know, 1982 01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:01,400 Speaker 1: being tutored under the Vic san Gio defense, which is 1983 01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:04,120 Speaker 1: a very popular thing to be associated with. All that 1984 01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,360 Speaker 1: stuff kind of just hit a ground swell and apparently 1985 01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,400 Speaker 1: he knocked the interviews out of the park, which is 1986 01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,080 Speaker 1: obviously a big component of this too. When when we 1987 01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,679 Speaker 1: watched this hiring cycle happened yearly in the NFL, and 1988 01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,160 Speaker 1: no matter what else has said that every opportunity is 1989 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,200 Speaker 1: a little bit different than every other. Certainly this year 1990 01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:23,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people thought the Charger's job was very desirable, 1991 01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:26,280 Speaker 1: and not so much the Houston job because of what 1992 01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,400 Speaker 1: you had to work with and the fact that you 1993 01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:31,240 Speaker 1: had an unhappy to Shaun Watson. How often do you 1994 01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:34,479 Speaker 1: think it happens that maybe some of the quality coaching 1995 01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:40,800 Speaker 1: candidates politely no, thank you these jobs and that's why 1996 01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:46,240 Speaker 1: you get You see guys like Dan Campbell or David Scully, 1997 01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:50,720 Speaker 1: get David Culley, get these jobs, the guys that we 1998 01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,240 Speaker 1: you know a lot of people hadn't really had on 1999 01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:55,519 Speaker 1: their radar, and in some of these problems and some 2000 01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,679 Speaker 1: of these opportunities at a head coaching job, you get 2001 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:04,240 Speaker 1: the feeling that the team is settling for these guys. Yeah. 2002 01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:06,519 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the landscape and here's 2003 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,840 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. You saw what urban Meyer did 2004 01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,600 Speaker 1: basically strong arming the Jaguars job and saying, give me 2005 01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and all these draft picks and all this 2006 01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 1: salary cap space and I'll figure it out. And you know, 2007 01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:21,920 Speaker 1: college coaches, I think you're going to see flowing much 2008 01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:25,240 Speaker 1: more freely and regularly to the NFL now, especially with 2009 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,600 Speaker 1: all that transfer portal nonsense that's going on in the 2010 01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:29,559 Speaker 1: NC Double A. And you know a lot of guys 2011 01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:31,720 Speaker 1: will just say, we'll forget about it. I'd rather just 2012 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, take my chances in the league and make 2013 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 1: more money and you know, get a crack at the 2014 01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:38,920 Speaker 1: super Bowl. And so I think that if you're a 2015 01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,360 Speaker 1: young head coach, you know you're only going to have 2016 01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:45,440 Speaker 1: one shot anymore. I mean a second shot really isn't 2017 01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:48,680 Speaker 1: in the conversation at this point. So you know the competition, 2018 01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,160 Speaker 1: you know the landscape, and so you have to be 2019 01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:54,360 Speaker 1: super careful, you know. I think Todd Bowles had said 2020 01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:57,040 Speaker 1: that really well a couple of weeks before the Super Bowl, 2021 01:51:57,240 --> 01:51:58,600 Speaker 1: where he was just saying, you know, I wish I 2022 01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:01,200 Speaker 1: was smarter about, you know, taking a job. You don't 2023 01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:03,760 Speaker 1: know whether it's going to be your only job. So yeah, 2024 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:06,800 Speaker 1: when the Texans job opens up and it's your only shot, 2025 01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,519 Speaker 1: you've got to look at yourself as a coach and say, Okay, 2026 01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's going to be another opportunity, because 2027 01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:14,640 Speaker 1: if I go here, I'm never coming back to this. 2028 01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,839 Speaker 1: I know that the Houston job is probably the heaviest 2029 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,080 Speaker 1: lift here in light of the situation that David Culley 2030 01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,960 Speaker 1: inherits with Deshaun Watson. So I'm taking that off the board. 2031 01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:28,000 Speaker 1: Looking at what Dan Campbell has inherited in Detroit and 2032 01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:31,360 Speaker 1: what Nick Siriani has inherited in Philadelphia. Who do you 2033 01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:35,639 Speaker 1: think has the taller task here in terms of turning 2034 01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:40,000 Speaker 1: those respective franchises around. That's a great question. I think 2035 01:52:40,040 --> 01:52:42,360 Speaker 1: both of the rosters are in similar shape. But the 2036 01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:46,519 Speaker 1: difference between Philadelphia and Detroit is that Philadelphia is built 2037 01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:50,600 Speaker 1: sustainable winners before. And so I think if you're Sirianni, 2038 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,760 Speaker 1: you'd take comfort in the fact that, you know, maybe 2039 01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:55,760 Speaker 1: the office is a little more involved than you'd like 2040 01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:58,759 Speaker 1: in coaching decisions, but they're also really good at pumping 2041 01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:02,200 Speaker 1: you full of great players. In Detroit, it's just that's 2042 01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,280 Speaker 1: not really what you could say the same. I mean, 2043 01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:07,360 Speaker 1: they've had stars there, sure, but every team has, you know. 2044 01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:11,799 Speaker 1: Otherwise they have not succeeded in building a team in general. 2045 01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,880 Speaker 1: And you know, I like Dan Campbell's coordinator choices. I 2046 01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:17,920 Speaker 1: think he did a great job there, but there's just 2047 01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 1: no track record at this point, you know. And if 2048 01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm Sirianni, you know, I know that they're going to 2049 01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,160 Speaker 1: give me some time. I know that, you know, I 2050 01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:27,400 Speaker 1: have guys on like coaching staff, were familiar with both quarterbacks. 2051 01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,200 Speaker 1: I can probably keep the piece here in Detroit, you 2052 01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:32,439 Speaker 1: have to work, make it work with Jared Goff. You 2053 01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:34,519 Speaker 1: know that offensive line needs a lot of work. That 2054 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:37,200 Speaker 1: defense has fallen apart. I don't know. I think I 2055 01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:40,320 Speaker 1: think I take my chances with the Eagles. There one 2056 01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:44,800 Speaker 1: last thing from me, Connor a Super Bowl Sunday, give 2057 01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:47,640 Speaker 1: me a scenario, a most likely scenario about how the 2058 01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,640 Speaker 1: game's going to turn out, both if the if the 2059 01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:52,320 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers win it, and if the Kansas City 2060 01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:54,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs win. What are those two games look like and 2061 01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,839 Speaker 1: how is it different one from the other. If Tampa 2062 01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:00,559 Speaker 1: Bay wins. I think it's certainly lower school worrying. Like 2063 01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:03,200 Speaker 1: one of my colleagues put it best, like almost a 2064 01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:07,639 Speaker 1: version of the Giants Patriots Super Bowl where Tom Brady 2065 01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:10,360 Speaker 1: wins this time and uh, you know, just keeping the 2066 01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:14,240 Speaker 1: score as low as possible, limitting the possessions for Kansas City. 2067 01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:17,760 Speaker 1: It's a it's a strategy that hasn't worked, but if 2068 01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:20,400 Speaker 1: any team can do it, I think Buccaneers. They mix 2069 01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:22,439 Speaker 1: up their coverage as well, and I think they're going 2070 01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:24,320 Speaker 1: to be able to get after Mahomes and so if 2071 01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:26,320 Speaker 1: they can get some pressure on them, keep them off 2072 01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:29,080 Speaker 1: the field, then maybe you'll kind of see them win 2073 01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:32,120 Speaker 1: in a nail bierum. But the flip side of that 2074 01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:34,440 Speaker 1: is if Rammers and the rest of the Kansas City 2075 01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:38,320 Speaker 1: offensive line can handle their own, you know, especially some 2076 01:54:38,360 --> 01:54:40,080 Speaker 1: of those one on one situations they're going to be 2077 01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:43,400 Speaker 1: confronted with if they can keep guys out of Mahomes's face, Like, 2078 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, this could turn into a boat race pretty 2079 01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:47,640 Speaker 1: quick too. I mean, this could be a you know, 2080 01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:50,000 Speaker 1: this could be a thirty five, seventeen, thirty five, twenty 2081 01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,080 Speaker 1: one Chiefs win as well. Connor, thanks for the time. 2082 01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:56,800 Speaker 1: Has always enjoy the game on Sunday. All right, all right, 2083 01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:59,120 Speaker 1: thanks guys. All right, that's kind of rare. SI dot 2084 01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:02,720 Speaker 1: Com and MMQB staff writer also host of the week 2085 01:55:02,840 --> 01:55:06,600 Speaker 1: side podcast and Steve the latest weather report now for 2086 01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:13,600 Speaker 1: Tampa seventy degrees, seventy five percent chance of rain. Oh 2087 01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:18,120 Speaker 1: you want to slow down a Chiefs teams wet grass 2088 01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:20,080 Speaker 1: Field might do it. Hit him with a fire hose. 2089 01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:24,680 Speaker 1: That might do it. Might it might do it. That 2090 01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:28,040 Speaker 1: could change things. Not to mention the fact that the 2091 01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:30,680 Speaker 1: Bucks have a grinder at running back and Leonard Fournette. 2092 01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:34,480 Speaker 1: It turns into a slog fest. Of course, what's going 2093 01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:37,560 Speaker 1: to happen. It'll rain for fifteen minutes and then stop, right, 2094 01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,760 Speaker 1: isn't that what it does in floor and all the time. Yes, 2095 01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,200 Speaker 1: somebody gets struck by lightning in Tampa. They don't call 2096 01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:44,840 Speaker 1: him the Tampa Bay Lightning for nothing. Well right, yeah, 2097 01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,440 Speaker 1: that's valid. We did want to get back to the 2098 01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:49,480 Speaker 1: tweet sheet to get more of your Super Bowl memories. 2099 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:51,680 Speaker 1: There brought to you by Corygan Moving Systems, the official 2100 01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,360 Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Tiffany says, my 2101 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,400 Speaker 1: favorite non Buffalo Bill is Mike Hall Stop. Watching him 2102 01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,280 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl championship was awesome. He was a 2103 01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,240 Speaker 1: heck of a player with sigh, speed and power. One 2104 01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:05,760 Speaker 1: of those guys that you would have loved to see 2105 01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:09,680 Speaker 1: in a Bill's jersey from Thomas. My favorite super Bowl 2106 01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:11,360 Speaker 1: memory has yet to happen. It will come when the 2107 01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,640 Speaker 1: Bills hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Commercials are now more memorable, 2108 01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:18,840 Speaker 1: especially in any game Tom Brady plays in, looking forward 2109 01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:22,480 Speaker 1: to the commercials more than the game. Jack says, I 2110 01:56:22,520 --> 01:56:24,720 Speaker 1: loved watching John Elway finally win one when I was 2111 01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,080 Speaker 1: a teenager in ninety eight, but Tyree catching the ball 2112 01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:29,840 Speaker 1: against his helmet, allowing Eli and the Giants to beat 2113 01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:32,960 Speaker 1: the unbeaten Pats. A runner up is the Philly Special 2114 01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:36,520 Speaker 1: allowing the Eagles to beat Brady. Remember TB twelve drop 2115 01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:39,520 Speaker 1: one in that game? Also because after the Eagles ran 2116 01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,720 Speaker 1: Philly Special, the Patriots tried to do something similar and 2117 01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:46,120 Speaker 1: Brady could not. It was just stretch far enough to 2118 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:48,880 Speaker 1: pull it in. It's a little too too long for him. Yeah, 2119 01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:53,040 Speaker 1: that was that was You could just oh, yeah, that's 2120 01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:55,240 Speaker 1: not the guy you're sending out there to catch a pass. No, 2121 01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:59,640 Speaker 1: but that reeks of Eric, Yeah, hat, Oh you're gonna 2122 01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:01,560 Speaker 1: stick at us. Well, we're gonna stick at tap and 2123 01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:04,560 Speaker 1: let me say, how do you think about this? And 2124 01:57:04,560 --> 01:57:06,480 Speaker 1: then he and then he couldn't catch the damn ball. 2125 01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:10,480 Speaker 1: That was the problem. Yeah, from JT. My favorite Super 2126 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:13,320 Speaker 1: Bowl memory was the David Tyree catch against New England. 2127 01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:16,120 Speaker 1: That felt amazing. Eli Manning finished off the Pats after 2128 01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots undefeated season and playoff victories. The thing that 2129 01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:23,560 Speaker 1: still amazes me is you could not have asked Rodney 2130 01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:28,600 Speaker 1: Harrison to rake at that ball any harder then he did. 2131 01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:32,440 Speaker 1: Even after they're both on the ground, he's still trying 2132 01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:34,120 Speaker 1: to rake the ball out. And the truth of the 2133 01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:37,120 Speaker 1: matter is he totally sluffed off. It was not his guy. 2134 01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:39,720 Speaker 1: He was just covering up right. He was just being 2135 01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:43,879 Speaker 1: a really great player. And to and you, every pack 2136 01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:46,879 Speaker 1: had his arm. He's got an arm, he's got handfuls 2137 01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,720 Speaker 1: of jersey, he's clawing at it, I mean everything. And 2138 01:57:49,760 --> 01:57:54,040 Speaker 1: Tyree's got that thing pinned against his helmet. And how 2139 01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:56,960 Speaker 1: those guys feel about in the defensive line might carry 2140 01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,280 Speaker 1: the white hat? Said time and again he said, I 2141 01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:02,920 Speaker 1: was a hair's breath from blowing the whistle down the 2142 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:06,080 Speaker 1: grass in the grass. That's the most elusive Eli Manning 2143 01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:09,960 Speaker 1: was in his life right ever. I mean, but look 2144 01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:11,920 Speaker 1: at him. He's ripping at it now, he's holding it 2145 01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:14,160 Speaker 1: against his head, still ripping at his arm. And to 2146 01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:17,720 Speaker 1: separate that was unbelievable, It really was. It was one 2147 01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:21,200 Speaker 1: of those moments that was phenomenal. And just think it 2148 01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:24,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, um Plexico burst catching the corner route, 2149 01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, to finish that drive off and I can 2150 01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:33,960 Speaker 1: only imagine, I know, I can I know what it 2151 01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:37,120 Speaker 1: was for the Patriots walking off the field after the season. 2152 01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:43,560 Speaker 1: They put together nineteen and oh going into that game 2153 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:50,360 Speaker 1: and ended up nineteen and one. Oh well, I'm not crying. 2154 01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No love lost there. That is from Dinah 2155 01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:57,360 Speaker 1: real quick, Joe Namath guaranteeing a win and getting it. 2156 01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:02,360 Speaker 1: As a child, I always rooted for the underdog. We'll 2157 01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:04,240 Speaker 1: get to more of these. We've also got to get 2158 01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:09,280 Speaker 1: to our Super Bowl prop bet questionnaire. There's some juicy 2159 01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:11,240 Speaker 1: ones there, Steve and I will get to those next. 2160 01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:13,840 Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's 2161 01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:29,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, 2162 01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:33,080 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. Time for a little fun what's gon do? 2163 01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:38,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five prop bet questionnaire? Steve, We're gonna 2164 01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:42,560 Speaker 1: start with the Greeney all right, got you um? Which 2165 01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:45,960 Speaker 1: team we'll score first? I mean, these prop bets, some 2166 01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:47,880 Speaker 1: of the some of them are more common than others, 2167 01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,560 Speaker 1: but this one got pretty creative. But we'll start simple. 2168 01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:53,800 Speaker 1: Which team will score first? Casey or Tampa Bay? I 2169 01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:56,400 Speaker 1: got Kansas City? Oh good, I went with Tampa Bay. 2170 01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 1: So there, So there's one awesome. There's one that'll be different. 2171 01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Let me are the ones that we're gonna get different here. 2172 02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:05,360 Speaker 1: So the result of the coin toss Steve, heads or tails? 2173 02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:11,120 Speaker 1: Tails never fails? Yeah, apparently an inordinately high number of 2174 02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:14,560 Speaker 1: tails calls have come up in the Super Bowl for 2175 02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:16,720 Speaker 1: really for no reason. I mean, there's only it's only 2176 02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:20,720 Speaker 1: flipped the coin fifty four times. But it's not fifty fifty. 2177 02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,560 Speaker 1: It's not twenty seven, twenty seven, No, it's um, I 2178 02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:27,040 Speaker 1: think it's almost two thirds one third. Like it's a 2179 02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:30,320 Speaker 1: really sharp difference. Maybe even higher than that, might be 2180 02:00:30,320 --> 02:00:34,440 Speaker 1: seventy percent. Tails. Don't know why that is? You take tails? Two? 2181 02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:39,640 Speaker 1: I did all right? Um? Will the first quarter have 2182 02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:43,480 Speaker 1: over or under twelve and a half combined points scored? 2183 02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:52,800 Speaker 1: You gotta love these guys. I did two? I did two? Right? Um? Yeah, 2184 02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:54,480 Speaker 1: I mean we're kind of expecting these teams to kind 2185 02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:57,240 Speaker 1: of come out of the gates firing, right right. I 2186 02:00:57,240 --> 02:01:00,720 Speaker 1: don't think I'd be surprised if it's a low score. 2187 02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean I think it would be like seven to seven. 2188 02:01:02,600 --> 02:01:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be fourteen, right, Yeah, you're not 2189 02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:09,400 Speaker 1: asking for much there, right? Who will have more passing yards? Now? 2190 02:01:09,400 --> 02:01:14,800 Speaker 1: This is tricky, you know. Yeah, I'm saying because Holmes, 2191 02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:19,600 Speaker 1: because the reason why is the losing quarterback could very 2192 02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:22,680 Speaker 1: well have more passing yards. Oh yeah, this is not 2193 02:01:23,200 --> 02:01:25,480 Speaker 1: based on who you think when the one who's probably 2194 02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:28,400 Speaker 1: the one who loses. That's kind I'm saying. Um, But 2195 02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:32,320 Speaker 1: I said, Mahomes, Okay, Brady, here, I think they. I 2196 02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:35,440 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs defense is a little underrated, and I 2197 02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:39,440 Speaker 1: think Mahomes is gonna get his I believe that the 2198 02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:42,280 Speaker 1: Bucks are going to take some pages out of the 2199 02:01:42,320 --> 02:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Bill's defensive playbook from the first meeting in Week six. 2200 02:01:45,880 --> 02:01:47,880 Speaker 1: I think they're going to invite the Chiefs to run 2201 02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the football, and I think that could mean Mahomes has 2202 02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:55,640 Speaker 1: a little bit less passing yardage than Brady. That's where 2203 02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:58,800 Speaker 1: That's why I went Brady on that. Maybe you know 2204 02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:03,680 Speaker 1: just a hunch this one, which quarterback will be sacked first? 2205 02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:08,640 Speaker 1: And we know the tackle situation that's befalling the Chiefs. 2206 02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:11,360 Speaker 1: Both of their offensive tackles are iffy for the game. 2207 02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,440 Speaker 1: And even if they do well, we know Eric Fisher's 2208 02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:16,080 Speaker 1: not playing he has an achilles injury. But even right 2209 02:02:16,080 --> 02:02:20,200 Speaker 1: tackle Mitchell Schwartz doesn't look like he's gonna play. And 2210 02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:23,400 Speaker 1: even though Mahomes says his toe feels a lot better, 2211 02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:28,120 Speaker 1: he's had two weeks to rest it. I went Mahomes there, okay, 2212 02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:34,839 Speaker 1: I went Brady, Okay, I don't know why will Patrick 2213 02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:39,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes throw a third quarter touchdown pass? I said, yes, 2214 02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:42,400 Speaker 1: I did, as well. They'll come out a halftime and yes, 2215 02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:46,440 Speaker 1: they're usually pretty good in that quarter point scoring. Will 2216 02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady score or throw a second quarter touchdown pass? 2217 02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:52,960 Speaker 1: I said yes, I forgot to answer this one. I 2218 02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:56,640 Speaker 1: said yes, so yeah, I don't care what you answer. Really, Yeah, 2219 02:02:56,640 --> 02:03:00,360 Speaker 1: well that's fine. Will you say yes I did? Will 2220 02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:05,480 Speaker 1: either teams score a touchdown on their opening drive? I 2221 02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:10,080 Speaker 1: said no, No, I said no. I think there's gonna 2222 02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:12,680 Speaker 1: be a little bit of feeling out, you know, kind 2223 02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,480 Speaker 1: of getting you know, a little conservative. Maybe I might 2224 02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:18,240 Speaker 1: get a field goal, but they will score touchdown. Okay, 2225 02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,360 Speaker 1: how about a two point conversion? Will either team attempt 2226 02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:24,280 Speaker 1: one of those? I said, yeah, yeah, I did two, 2227 02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:27,240 Speaker 1: knowing how aggressive Andy Reid has been in the playoffs 2228 02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:35,680 Speaker 1: in his history, and knowing that, knowing that Arian's philosophy 2229 02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:38,000 Speaker 1: is no risk it, no biscuit. One of those guys 2230 02:03:38,080 --> 02:03:41,680 Speaker 1: is going to go for two, right right? No? Yeah, exactly? 2231 02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Will there be a defensive or special teams touchdown scored 2232 02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:50,120 Speaker 1: by either team? I said no, Yeah, I did too. 2233 02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, people think this game is ripe for a 2234 02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:57,160 Speaker 1: pick six situation, but I don't know. I don't see it. 2235 02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't see It's hard to do, man, They're not 2236 02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:03,440 Speaker 1: that common. Will Kansas City score more points in the 2237 02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:09,000 Speaker 1: first half or the second half and overtime, knowing they're 2238 02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:13,080 Speaker 1: come from behind nature, I went second half. That's what 2239 02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:16,160 Speaker 1: I did too. That's the only reason I did it. Yeah, 2240 02:04:16,200 --> 02:04:19,920 Speaker 1: and I yeah, that's right. Will Tampa score more points 2241 02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,840 Speaker 1: in the first half or second half and overtime? I 2242 02:04:22,880 --> 02:04:25,200 Speaker 1: said second as well? You did. I went first half 2243 02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:27,720 Speaker 1: there because I just think Brady's gonna be on it 2244 02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:30,280 Speaker 1: from the jump, and I think they might put some 2245 02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:31,960 Speaker 1: points up and then the Chiefs might come back in 2246 02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:38,920 Speaker 1: the second half. Will Tom Brady have a rushing touchdown 2247 02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,839 Speaker 1: quarterback sneak? That's the only scenario. That's the only scenario. 2248 02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:47,880 Speaker 1: I said, no, as well. What about Mahomes? Does he 2249 02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:50,880 Speaker 1: have one? I said? I said no, I did as well. 2250 02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to put him in harm's way, 2251 02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:57,080 Speaker 1: right with the foot and everything, So I said no 2252 02:04:57,200 --> 02:05:01,800 Speaker 1: as well. For that well, Kansas City's first reception be 2253 02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:05,760 Speaker 1: made by a running back or a tight end, or 2254 02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:07,920 Speaker 1: by a wide receiver, so running back and tight end 2255 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:11,600 Speaker 1: are together as a group versus wide receivers. The city 2256 02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:15,680 Speaker 1: into city, I said, wide receiver, okay, I went running back, 2257 02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:19,320 Speaker 1: tight end, there he goes to Kelsey early a lot 2258 02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:24,160 Speaker 1: in games. M who catches a pass first? Chris Godwin 2259 02:05:24,280 --> 02:05:28,160 Speaker 1: or Mike Evans of the Bucks, I said Godwin, yeah, 2260 02:05:28,200 --> 02:05:31,120 Speaker 1: I did too, for no other reason than it was first. 2261 02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:36,760 Speaker 1: It's fewer, higher percentage throws to Evans typically in that offense. Um, 2262 02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:41,400 Speaker 1: more of the intermedia throws to Godwin in general. Who 2263 02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:46,400 Speaker 1: will catch a pass first? Kelsey or Hill? I said, Kelsey, Yeah, 2264 02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:50,880 Speaker 1: I did too. Um, so I hope Hill doesn't catch 2265 02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:53,680 Speaker 1: the first pass as a wide receiver. I was, you 2266 02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:56,400 Speaker 1: need one of the other for somebody, right, Or Sammy 2267 02:05:56,600 --> 02:06:01,240 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins who catches a pass first? Or Cameron Bright? 2268 02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:06,960 Speaker 1: I went Bright? Really? Why? Um, Gronk's only caught forty 2269 02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:10,320 Speaker 1: two passes all season? And and he and I know 2270 02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Brady likes Bright, smart kid. Um, He's He's been a 2271 02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:18,520 Speaker 1: factor in the offense. It's crazy to think they had 2272 02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:22,520 Speaker 1: OJ Howard too. Isn't that just stupid? I've got Gronk, 2273 02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:27,760 Speaker 1: Cameron's Howard hurt out for the year, Gronk, Cameron Bade, 2274 02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,760 Speaker 1: and OJ Howard. J Howard might be available this offseason. 2275 02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I'd be all over that, right, I would be all 2276 02:06:35,360 --> 02:06:38,120 Speaker 1: over that dude, they have not maximized his talent in 2277 02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:41,000 Speaker 1: the least. Down there. He's a because he's a freak show, right. Yeah, 2278 02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,520 Speaker 1: he was like the fifth overall pick, top ten pick. 2279 02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:45,680 Speaker 1: I think he's like he's all of that, all those 2280 02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:48,120 Speaker 1: physical boxes chet. Yeah, I mean you gotta see how 2281 02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:50,640 Speaker 1: he comes back from the injury. But yeah, I'm with you. 2282 02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:58,480 Speaker 1: Which team will have the most sacks? I put Tampa? Yeah, 2283 02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:00,960 Speaker 1: as did I Jason Pierre all in Shack Barrett. I 2284 02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:06,680 Speaker 1: mean that's you're not going against that combination. Yeah, but yeah, okay, yeah, 2285 02:07:06,760 --> 02:07:10,560 Speaker 1: but what what we're gonna say? Um, Clyde Edwards Hilaire. 2286 02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:14,840 Speaker 1: Does he score a touchdown? Yep? I said, no, huge 2287 02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:18,600 Speaker 1: mistake by you. What about Leonard Fournette does He said yes? 2288 02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:22,600 Speaker 1: I said yes too. Either team record? Will either team 2289 02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:27,280 Speaker 1: record an interception? I said yeah, I said yes too, 2290 02:07:27,320 --> 02:07:29,800 Speaker 1: because just throwing it too. Yeah, it's gonna be he'll 2291 02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:33,400 Speaker 1: be too many opp over the yard and you got yeah. 2292 02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:35,640 Speaker 1: I just think got Honey Badger running around out there. 2293 02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Devin White. Will Tom Brady have over or under two 2294 02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:46,000 Speaker 1: and a half passing touchdowns? I said under? Did you? 2295 02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I went over because I think you'd have two, and 2296 02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:53,240 Speaker 1: then if you have four, nette score one. Yeah, you know, 2297 02:07:54,240 --> 02:07:56,120 Speaker 1: I really think this game is gonna be in the thirties. 2298 02:07:56,600 --> 02:07:58,680 Speaker 1: So I was fine taking the over there. Maybe what 2299 02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:00,560 Speaker 1: about my homes over or or two and a half 2300 02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:05,080 Speaker 1: passing touch I mean, he's three, he's a he's almost 2301 02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:08,880 Speaker 1: a lock for three touchdowns every week. So that was 2302 02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,800 Speaker 1: that one was a lot easier. The last one all important. 2303 02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:19,160 Speaker 1: Will the winning coach have gatorade or water dumped on him? Gatorade? Yeah? 2304 02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,720 Speaker 1: I did too. Now, we were just watching those highlights 2305 02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:26,080 Speaker 1: from two thousand seven season when the Giants upset the 2306 02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:29,200 Speaker 1: Patriots in the Super Bowl and Tom Coughlin got water 2307 02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:31,960 Speaker 1: right dumped all over him. I wonder what the history 2308 02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,520 Speaker 1: is there, because I see I, for some reason, I 2309 02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:37,000 Speaker 1: only seem to remember gatorade. I didn't even like if 2310 02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:39,640 Speaker 1: you asked me what Choplin got hit with, I wouldn't 2311 02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:44,760 Speaker 1: have guessed water. Yeah, but that's what they hit him with. Um. Yeah, 2312 02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to be one of those Coughlins, 2313 02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:49,960 Speaker 1: one of those guys too that while you're dumping that 2314 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:51,480 Speaker 1: water and you hit him in the back of the 2315 02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:56,879 Speaker 1: head with a bucket. Couldn't cuss your coach. Yes, I'm sorry, 2316 02:08:56,800 --> 02:09:00,840 Speaker 1: you can't accept the trophy. Coach can't accept the trophy. Uh, 2317 02:09:01,240 --> 02:09:03,960 Speaker 1: he's indisposed at the moment. Yeah. A lot of these 2318 02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:07,280 Speaker 1: other prop bets were pretty similar, um, although this one 2319 02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:09,480 Speaker 1: said which color gatorade is going to be dumped on 2320 02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:11,400 Speaker 1: the winning coach. There's a lot of them with choices. 2321 02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:16,200 Speaker 1: I went with blue. I went, I'm always orange. I'm 2322 02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,440 Speaker 1: an orange, are ye See, I was trying to I 2323 02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:22,480 Speaker 1: was trying to capture the the taste preferences of the 2324 02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:25,280 Speaker 1: kids these days, you know, the younger players. So I went, 2325 02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:28,200 Speaker 1: I went, I went blue. What about MV Who's gonna 2326 02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:32,040 Speaker 1: win the MVP? I picked Brady because I think the Bucket. 2327 02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how, but I think the Bucks are 2328 02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:38,400 Speaker 1: gonna show win this. I went my homes. I mean, 2329 02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:40,360 Speaker 1: what is there any point in picking somebody other than 2330 02:09:40,400 --> 02:09:43,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback? Then they started I thought last year, Uh, 2331 02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Damian Williams, the running back for the Chiefs, should have 2332 02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:49,440 Speaker 1: been in the running for m He had a monster game. Yeah, 2333 02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:52,320 Speaker 1: and including the clinching touchdown down the sideline at the 2334 02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:54,800 Speaker 1: end of the game. Last year, they never give it 2335 02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:57,040 Speaker 1: to the non quarterbacks. This one. What about this other 2336 02:09:57,040 --> 02:10:03,240 Speaker 1: prop bet the over under two points? Five players will 2337 02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:06,240 Speaker 1: attempt to pass. That means somebody besides Brady Mahomes gonna 2338 02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:12,920 Speaker 1: throw one. Yeah. I'm trying to think of former quarterbacks 2339 02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:17,600 Speaker 1: on each roster that play other positions. No, you gotta 2340 02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:20,480 Speaker 1: think of like reverse passes. No, I know that, But 2341 02:10:20,560 --> 02:10:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking, are there any wide receivers on either 2342 02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:25,080 Speaker 1: roster that used to play some quarterback where you know 2343 02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:28,560 Speaker 1: you could see them getting at what level they all played? Well, 2344 02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:30,720 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Even the offensive lineman played quarterback 2345 02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:34,200 Speaker 1: when they were kids. And that's the way it works. 2346 02:10:34,480 --> 02:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Most of these guys, all these guys that have done it, 2347 02:10:36,480 --> 02:10:38,720 Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley was a quarterback in high school. Yea 2348 02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,400 Speaker 1: of these guys were set apart when they were eight 2349 02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:45,760 Speaker 1: years old because they were good football players and they 2350 02:10:45,800 --> 02:10:47,720 Speaker 1: were all had the ball in their hands. I what 2351 02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:49,840 Speaker 1: did I go with? I think I went with the under. 2352 02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I went over. I 2353 02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:54,480 Speaker 1: think there will be one. I think there'll be one play. Yep, 2354 02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:58,480 Speaker 1: they're right. We'll see if it happens. We'll we'll review 2355 02:10:58,520 --> 02:11:01,200 Speaker 1: these on Monday. Steve to see who got more of these? Correct? 2356 02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:04,320 Speaker 1: Let me get my other one out so I can oh, yeah, 2357 02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:05,840 Speaker 1: the third one. Yeah, let me get the third route 2358 02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:08,280 Speaker 1: so I can circle it as the game happens. You see, 2359 02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:10,920 Speaker 1: I gotta right. Oh yeah, good for me, go back, 2360 02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:13,880 Speaker 1: have to check to research me and go back to 2361 02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:18,320 Speaker 1: the podcast and make it sure cheap break time, Break 2362 02:11:18,360 --> 02:11:20,080 Speaker 1: time for us.
