1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: Oh, good time. Watch Steve Claspers dome Dome do that's

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: not time. If you welcome, one goes live. I'm John

3
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Murphy with Steve Tasker. We're here for the next three

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: hours talk about the Bills and the National Football League

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: on schedule release Day. Hello, Steve, how are you today?

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Don't done? Duh? It's scheduled release day. Yeah, everybody's so

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: starved for something to talk about the virus. It's great.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: We have a content call every morning where you know

9
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the Bills staff is. We talk about what we're gonna do.

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: Everybody had something to say today. It took forever this call.

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: They almost took what fifteen minutes or so off my morning,

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: And uh, well, it's a lot to talk about. This

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: is This is a scheduled day, better and with more

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: meat on it than any schedule day for the last

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: twenty years. Yeah. Here's the thing though, See if you

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: agree with this, Steve, it's important. I'm glad the schedule

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: is coming out. It'll be great to have a new

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: topic to talk about. Quite frankly, but I don't think

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: anybody's counting on the schedule as being set in stone,

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think we're all I

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: think we over two months of nothing else. I think

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Americans have become accustomed to being flexible. Yes, this is

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: the schedule, now stay tuned. It may change, do you agree? Yes?

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: And here's another aspect of this that maybe maybe I'm

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: going maybe I'm off of the rails here, maybe I've

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: been in quarantine too long. But here's what I think.

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: We all have this idea that we're living our lives

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: in isolation. We're kind of by ourselves. We stay in

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: our houses. We you know, we're not congregating, and we

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: don't talk to our friends and co workers and stuff

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: like we should. So we always you get this feeling

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: like the powers that be, like the hierarchy of the NFL,

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: like the government, like these big corporations that have all

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: these hundreds of workers or thousands of workers. We all

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: feel like they get better information than we do, right,

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: And so we feel like this schedule is gonna the

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: NFL is gonna have to tip its hand, right, They're

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna say what do they really know? What are they

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: really afraid of? And then I'm really interested in that, Right.

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: So I always have this feeling like people like Roger

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Goodell and the NFL, you know, and whatever else other

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: entity you can name. They all know something we don't,

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, or they're not really telling us the full story.

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: But when they actually have to do something, it tells

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: us all we need to know, or at least more

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: about what we need to know. And I think that's

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: what we think about this schedule. We're gonna find something

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: out about what they know or what they're afraid of.

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I would say is, maybe I don't need to disagreeing

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: with you. I agree with that, But I don't think

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: they know. I don't think Roger Goodell knows. I don't,

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: and it's not because they're stupid or because they're not trying.

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I think they're smart enough to say, hey, we don't

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna look like in July. We don't

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: know what it's gonna look like next month in June,

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: and we certainly don't know what it's gonna look like

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: in September. And I think they're smart enough to say, here,

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: here's our plan, subject to adjustment. And I think that's

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: the best you can do now. I don't think anybody's

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: hiding anything from Look the schedules coming out tonight. It

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: may or may not go sixteen weeks. It may or

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: may not start on time September tenth, Thursday night or

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: maybe September thirteenth, Sunday for the Bills, it may or

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: may not. But nobody's hiding it from anybody, you know

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, Steve, Yes, they can. And there's been

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: all these you know, like there always is. I mean,

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: there's always these. You know, we had a big thing

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: on our conference call about the people guessing with whether

69
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: the Bills will be on Monday night or Thursday night,

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: like we did yesterday with our Twitter poll. You know,

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: everybody's interested about what kind of primetime games you're gonna get.

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: But I think there's also been some this year, some

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: theories flying around about maybe the first four games being

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: able to lop them off the out of conference games,

75
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: like instead of playing Seattle, Arizona, San Francisco, and La Rams,

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the Bills won't play any of them and they'll just

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: have a twelve game schedule. If those four games are

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: somehow some way lumped in the front month of the season,

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: it'll give us an idea and tip the hand that

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: the NFL really is afraid that this season may be

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: compressed and shortened. Yeah. Well, for instance, you and I

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: both got to look at a schedule update that came

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: down yesterday that I can't remember who the source of

84
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: this was. But first four weeks, according to this schedule

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: release for the Bills, we're supposed to be Raiders, Seattle, Arizona,

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco. No order listed. No, you know, the home

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: or away. I mean, we know the Raiders in Seattle

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: are coming here or the Rams in Seattle are coming here.

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: In Arizona and San Francisco we're going there, So it's

90
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: not an that order. But those are the four NMC

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: West games for the Bills, And as you look through

92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: the so schedule, whatever and whatever opposite conference teams are

93
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: supposed to play, those would be set up in the

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: first four weeks. That might work. I mean, if they

95
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: if they want a schedule that can be you know, segmented,

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: and you can cut off the first four Okay, that's

97
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: a logical way to do it. But I'm not prepared

98
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: to say that's the way it's gonna be, Steve. We

99
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: just don't know yet. We gotta wait till tonight, right

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: right right, And those uh, the Raiders, and those are

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: two AFC opponents, right Uh, the Raiders and Rams in

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Yes, the Rams, San Francisco, Arizona, Seattle, those

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: are all on the front flour, right, and we have

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: two home, two away and yeah, yeah, and if you

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: have to get lopped off and then the and the

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: season starts October thirteenth or whatever October whatever it is,

107
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: twelfth or fourteenth, that weekend, then you know they'll do that. Um,

108
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. From here. It seems crazy to me

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: after what we've been through, Murph, how are you going

110
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: to know that four weeks gonna make that big a

111
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: difference four months from now? Right, you know that's a shot,

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: and that that is nothing but an arrow shot into

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: a dark night sky. You know, you know where it is,

114
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: where it going, or where it's aimed at, you know, right,

115
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: which is why it's the original point. Yes, the schedules

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: coming out tonight. Um, it's not written in stone, right,

117
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: it's not. It's subject to change, and I'm sure that

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the league will make sure that people understand that whatever

119
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: you see here with dates and times and nights and

120
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: prime times and opponents, that's adds of today and it's

121
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: it could be changed. I think we're I think we

122
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: can all handle that, Steve. It's difficult as it met

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: beef or something. Well. So we're living in we're living

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: in times where we'll have to adjust everything here on

125
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: certain times, and it's a new normal. You're gonna say that,

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna say it's a new normal Tis Scots in

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes. So the schedule is going to

128
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: dominate a lot of our conversation today. We got a

129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: good show today. I want to mention this um kind

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: of tweet yesterday from Neil Bob Sturdy who asked a

131
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: basic question. I repeat it every day and I guess

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: people you know, may or may not catch it. But

133
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: he says, how come your show is not on cable

134
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: anymore from noon to three? I think our producer Jay Harris,

135
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: did you respond to this? Yes, he did. He said, Hi, kneel,

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: and that's how Jay talked to He's very friendless. I kneel.

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Our studio is inside an NFL facility. Our place, you know,

138
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio, which is not accessible at the time.

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Being working from home, unfortunately, does not get us on MSG.

140
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: We will be back up soon and we will keep

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: you update. I just wanted to say that, right because

142
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I say it every day radio only we're on the

143
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: radio today because we're not on MSG. You haven't been

144
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: since what March eighteen, seven weeks ago. It seems like forever.

145
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: We're doing the best we can. You know, we do

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: a little radio show here. I'll let you in on

147
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a little secret, Steve, not you, but listeners. Most of

148
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: our audience is on the radio, so it does impact

149
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: some television viewers. But unfortunately we can't do TV. We

150
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 1: gotta what six to eight person crew every day putting

151
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: our TV show on the airback when we were on TV,

152
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: and the studio the facility is closed to us. We

153
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: just can't do TV without it. So that's it. And

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that, Neil Bob please thanks

155
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: for your interest. We'll keep doing We'll keep doing radio

156
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: as long as we can. And uh, well, I do

157
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: think we'll get back on TV sooner or later, don't

158
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: you think. Yeah, don't open up the facilities. It'll depend too.

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: They may, you know, maybe at some time in the

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: near month or two or two months, two and a

161
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: half months in the future, they may start to slow

162
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: open facilities around the league, but only for certain you know,

163
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: for football related motivities, you know, coaches and players maybe,

164
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and that's it. That certainly doesn't extend to Murph and me,

165
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: So we'll probably be shut out much longer than certain

166
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: other essential employees on those topics. The NFL yesterday laid

167
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: out a protocol for the gradual reopening of the team facilities.

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. It's going to be a process.

169
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: They're not going to flip the switch and say open

170
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: the door to say everybody come out back in. They're

171
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: going to do it gradually. It would begin, according to

172
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: this report from ESPN, it would begin with certain staff members.

173
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: It would eventually expand it include players. It's a memo

174
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: that went out to all thirty two teams from Roger Goodell.

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: So team facilities has been closed since mid March, but

176
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: you know around the country stayed on. Local governments are

177
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: easy restrictions. So the league, the NFL wants teams to

178
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: be ready to implement the first phase of protocols by

179
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: May fifteenth. At that point, May fifteenth, which is what

180
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: two mondays, next Monday, it's a week in tomorrow, actually

181
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: a week in tomorrow, Goodell said team canna expect to

182
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: be advised when their facilities can reopen. The first group

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: of employees back in the facilities would include no more

184
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: than fifty percent of non player staff and up to

185
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: a total of seventy five each state, So seventy five people,

186
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: the only players permitted. The only players permitted to return

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: would be those who are already rehabilitating near injuries before

188
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: the facility is closed. And then there's kind of staggered

189
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: throughout the weeks to get people back in there. Are

190
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: we part of that seventy five that fifty percent of employees?

191
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of thinking, no, No, you

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: don't think so, well, whatever, if we are. Here's the problem,

193
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: and we've talked about it before, Murph. It's a competitive

194
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: advantage issue because if because this quarantine is rolling across

195
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the country. It started in California, and it started in

196
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: New York, and it's working its way towards the corners,

197
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, Florida and all of that, and it's working

198
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: its way towards the middle of the thing, which means

199
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: it's working its way towards Indianapolis, towards Nashville, towards Kansas City,

200
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: towards Denver, you know, towards all these cities where they're not.

201
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to stay closed longer than people like

202
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey and Philly and all the

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: in Washington and all these places that are kind of

204
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: over the hump with the virus that seemed to be

205
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: kind of on top of it, further or further along

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: the timeline than than other cities, and it becomes a

207
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: competitive advantage, and the league's gonna have to, you know,

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: make concessions to that. Even if you know the viruses

209
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: down to zero in New York, it may be right

210
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: at the peak of the curve in Colorado, and they

211
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: won't let the Broncos, or they won't let the Bills, Jets,

212
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Giants open their facilities and not the Broncos, you know

213
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So is that true. I don't know.

214
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: That's what I've heard. I've heard it's a competitive advantage

215
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: in and you know, the Bronco was the way that.

216
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I think that's what they said initially, But I do

217
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: think yesterday's memo indicated that, you know, yeah, there might

218
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: be competitive disadvantages here and you're gonna have to live

219
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: with it. I think they kind of backed off on that,

220
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you see. If I don't have

221
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: an I don't have the memo in front of me,

222
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: but I think they're ready to say, Hey, if the

223
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Broncos can get back in, or the Jets can get

224
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: back in before the Broncos, Okay, we're gonna have to

225
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: live with that competitive disadvantage. It is a competitive disadvantage

226
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: of sorce. What I feel about that, Murph, Well, what

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna do If it's our If it's in our favor,

228
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: we're loving it. Right. If it's not, hey, right, if

229
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: you want to wine, sure, go ahead. You sound like

230
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: you're ready to wine. Yeah. People say that's not fair.

231
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: You're right, And that's not just trying to let teams know.

232
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Maybe they won't put it on paper, but they're trying

233
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: to live. Teams know. There may be some elements of

234
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: this that are not fair, and you're gonna have to

235
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: live with it. We'll see, you know what to There's

236
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: all kinds of ripple effects, you know what I mean.

237
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: We just can't anticipate all the ramifications this is gonna

238
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: have for every industry, let alone football professional sports. Think

239
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: about this, Murph. Okay, so you have these NFL facilities

240
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: opening up at different rates different times, different intervals, and

241
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: you've got a Bill's team that has a lot of

242
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: continuity open up early, and then other teams maybe they

243
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: maybe they start to open up, like like the teams

244
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned Kansas City, Denver, Indianapolis, those teams in the

245
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of the country who get the hit

246
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: with this virus and the wave later, maybe they have

247
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: to close down again. Right, maybe I have to redo it.

248
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: And then I'll tell you this too, Murph. Think about

249
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: that as a player and knowing what I how I

250
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: feel right now being quarantined with my wife and one

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: of our sons and being shut off from my other

252
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: grandkids and others, you know, other kids and stuff, not

253
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: being able to see my friends go out. Think about

254
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: this a team like Buffalo, so they open up their

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: facility all those guys from around the country who are quarantined,

256
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: and anybody say okay, wait, wait wait. So if I

257
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo, move into my apartment, I'll be able

258
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: to go out and go to work and be with

259
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: all my boys. For me, I'm in So forget about

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: all the offseason guys like saying, you know what, I

261
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: don't want to blow myself. Guys will be ravenous to

262
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: come back and get in the facility. It may be

263
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: it may be like a pendulum that swings the other

264
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: way where these guys all these all these voluntary stuff

265
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: that guys aren't really required. Man, oh man, they'll be

266
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: in there whether you want them there or not. Yeah,

267
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, guys will be hungry to be back in

268
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: the in the building. He's gonna stagger it, they say,

269
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: according to the memo that went out to teams. Uh

270
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: so that you know, players rehabbing injuries getting first and

271
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe you know, the next couple of weeks or even months,

272
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: players come in. I don't know. It's all uncertain, and

273
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: so what will happen? I don't know, And I don't

274
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: think there's any plan in place for the league yet.

275
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: And my guys, will you have guys going in and

276
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: rehabbing a hang now? You know, they'll be think about it.

277
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: How how cool would how much would you want to

278
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: be back after being sequestered from all any let's face it, there,

279
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: there's not like they're going back in sitting in a

280
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: cubicle like like the rest of us. Those guys going

281
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: in they're gonna work out, They're gonna you know, get

282
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: some steam, get a sauna, get it, you know, say

283
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: hi and corrols with the guys in the locker room.

284
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: They'll be back, they'll live in there. Yeah. Now, it

285
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: should be said that the Bills have had pretty good

286
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: participation rate in their voluntary offseason programs. And by the way,

287
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: the same rules would apply seemingly, four days a week,

288
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: four hours a day, right, two hours of meetings, two

289
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: hours on the practice field, even if those players came in,

290
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: those same rules will apply. But there's a point to

291
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: be made. You're right, there's a point to be made

292
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: about that. I don't think the Bills and most teams

293
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: don't have problem getting their guys back for offseason workouts, right,

294
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: they don't. Most guys enjoy the offer. Yeah, they've they've

295
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: got it wired. So that is pretty enticing for guys

296
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: to be back anyway. But man, oh man, if there's

297
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: if there's any a year where it would be the

298
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: players who were begging to break the rules and come

299
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: in and spend more time in the facility, this would

300
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: be that year. If if indeed it's opened up and

301
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: left and allows it. Yeah, you're probably right, all of

302
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: these good questions, and we're gonna try to tackle some

303
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: of them as the afternoon moves alone, got a couple

304

305
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: a six time Pro Bowl wide receiver, Steve Smith Senior.

306
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Do we have to say senior? Does he preferred it senior?

307
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: I think he does. Yeah, Okay, so we're gonna have

308
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: to say senior because I've never would you know, I

309
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: don't know who Steve Smith Junior is. Why would I

310
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: have to different? I don't think anybody knows who Steve Smith.

311

314
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: if you say Steve Smith, you have to connotate senior

315

Speaker 1: Steve Smith Senior. Who is he you're thinking? I know

316

00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: care less. So I was gonna tell my dog right right, Yeah,

00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,920

361
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: have is you know, and down the road is when

362
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: they Goodell put out that memo? Is that Listen, here's

363
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: how we're gradually going to open at fifty percent of

364
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the non player employees to a total of seventy five

365
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: who I don't know, seventy five non employee? You think? Uh?

366
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Non player means all the coaching staff, right? That takes

367
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: you down to what fifty five? This would be a

368
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: fun game. I think we should get some beers and

369
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of Bills employees and we can go over

370
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: who the seventies above in the mine? Who's on? Because

371
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: it's only like how many people are in the building, Murph,

372
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: Is it like one hundred and fifty might be close

373
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: to that? I would take one hundred, twenty hundred and thirty.

374
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Maybe what do you think I mean? We're off, We're

375
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: off on the field house. So we're the last people

376
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: to ask, right, So we're yere's that concerned. There's five

377
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Bills employees. The guys are it's me you, Jay Harris?

378
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Who are the other two? Killing right to Holland would

379
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: pull the neck would that be a fun game with

380
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: a couple of beers. Who is who? We have to

381
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: get a comprehensive list first, right, and so you start

382
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: out and say, okay, the coaching staff, and then it

383
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: is Tom Hollander more important than the assistant wide receiver coach?

384
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: We got thinking, no, we're you and I wouldn't be no. Um,

385
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: So it'd be the coaching staff in its totality. What

386
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: about this scouting staff, you don't need them? In the

387
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: building training staff you probably have them because they're rehab.

388
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: And what about the strength conditioning probably need them. Players

389
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: are gonna be league, We're going further down. We might be.

390
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: Then we have a chance. We'll probably get down. You'll

391
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: probably be seventy four, all seventy five. Jay Harris will

392
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: be seventy six. He'll be out, and we'll be back

393
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: to square one. We will be right back to square one.

394
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: I think we should play that game with him with

395
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: fellow employees. I think we should too have do it

396
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: virtually of course, but that's a great one. Yeah, we

397
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: have to get a complete list of employees and go

398
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: down the list. That's I think it'd be fun. Are

399
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: you what now? Would you would would we get little

400
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: patches to wear on our shirts, Like I'm a top

401
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: seventy five. I would just give him a little seventy

402
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: five button to wear, and you get a tattoo in

403
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: this day and age, right, and then you could just

404
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: let everybody know you were one of the seventy five back.

405
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that's T shirts, right, T shirts on our T

406
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: shirts on our on our chairs like they did at

407
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: the arena on special occasions. Yeah, a T shirt on

408
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: your office chair when you get back at top seventy

409
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: five employee, welcome back. Yeah right, that's great. That would

410
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: be a great game to play. Make you start. You

411
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: can start a grid, you know, like a pool like

412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl pool. It's great, like it had

413
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I'd have to figure out you'd have a list of

414
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the of all the people and then one through seventy

415
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: five across the top, and you'd wear those meat. You know,

416
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: you'd have to put your little your little your signature

417
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: on the squares that you think we're gonna do this.

418
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna do this. I can see it. I don't

419
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: know if i'd get a piece of paper that take,

420
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's a I think this is a must.

421
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: This was if this was if we weren't in if

422
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: we weren't in uncertain times murph, if we weren't in

423
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: the new normal, we would we would. This would be

424
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: a we would be doing this for sure. We might.

425
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: We might have to even have to. We're back, after

426
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: everybody's back. We should maybe like the heads of department

427
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: could have a draft. You know, yeah, we're going around

428
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: the room. Okay, you go first. It would be media content.

429
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: It would be media relations, community relations, business development. Uh,

430
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: who am I missing? Administration? You know, illustration, video content,

432
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: in and be there'd be like and there'd be like

433

434
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:37,040

435
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to this draft, right, and you'd have three, three or

436
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: four compensatory picks at the very end if you've gone

437

Speaker 1: twenty twenty schedule. We offered a couple of responses too.

465
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: We had two or more prime time games. Sixty four

466
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: percenting you say, that's what you're looking for, the season

467
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: opener at home. They've opened on the road. What did

468
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: I say yesterday? The last two years they've opened on

469
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: the road three years. I think it's been since they've

470
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: had three years ago. I think they opened the home

471
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: most the Jets. But the last two years they've opened

472
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: on the road. Maybe it's time for a home opener,

473
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: right last year they opened at the Jets. Twenty eighteen,

474
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: they opened at Baltimore. Twenty seventeen, they were home against

475
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: the Jets to open the season. So seventeen percent say

476
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: you're looking for a season opening at home. Fewer December

477
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: home games, which is interesting. In twenty eighteen the Bills

478
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: had let me look it up. I know there were

479
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: a lot one, two, three home games in December twenty eighteen.

480
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: Last year there were two home games in December, Baltimore

481
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: and the Jet. Some people will say it's a lot

482
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: to ask, and some people think that holds it out

483
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: in season ticket sales. Home games in December, And what's

484
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: the reason. It's cold? It's cold, bad weather, and you

485
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: know people, and it's and it's holiday season. People want

486
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: to save their money, spend it on something else. Yeah,

487
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: respond didn't say they want fewer December home games. Other

488
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: five percent give us a call. Phone lines are upen.

489
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: What are you looking for in the Bills twenty twenty

490
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: schedule which comes out tonight eight three fifty tweety two

491
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: five fifty yes, or just as a point of reference,

492
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: wasn't last year one of those years where the Bills

493
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: had Sunday one o'clock home games all year? I think

494
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: it was. Wasn't it at home? Yeah? They had all

495
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: eight games and the regular season were at home at

496
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: one o'clock. I believe you're running Yeah, it no matter.

497
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how many games I had to December

498
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: that I know. Week seventeen was the Jets at home. Um,

499
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: they had what two games at home in December? Something

500
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: like that? Last year? Last year, I think we were

501
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: really really happy with the schedule last year. Remember we

502
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: had uh, we had a schedule that looked on paper

503
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: like it was going to help the Bills get off

504
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: to a fast start the first half of the season

505
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: look good, and they were. They're playing a lot of

506
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: roads on the on the road, a lot of games

507
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: on the road to begin the season, and then finished

508
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: up with a nice home stretch in the middle. Um, yeah,

509
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought last year we were really really

510
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: excited about our schedule. So we'll see what it happens

511
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: this time. And this Twitter polls is interesting and you

512
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: get the feeling people want their you know, kind of

513
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: want their team on primetime. And they don't say whether

514
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: a home or away on these prime time games, they

515
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: just want them on prime time. Um. You think people

516
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: for the most part, Murph, if there's a primetime game

517
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: and it's in Buffalo, they just feel obligated. They gotta go,

518
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: and they can spend the whole day there and they

519
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: take a day off work, maybe even take two days

520
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: off work, because if it's a Monday night game, you

521
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: forget the next day, right. Yeah, I don't know. I've

522
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: heard people say that it's too much of a handsle

523
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: to go for a home a primetime game. People who travel,

524
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: you know it. They'll have season ticketbolders who live downstate Albany. Yeah,

525
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: that's closer to New York who say no, that screws

526
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: me up. That's two days off work, you know, and

527
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: they don't want that. So I don't know. I think

528
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: for everyone who likes a home primetime game, there might

529
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: be others who'd say, I'd prefer not to have home

530
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: prime time. And we don't askwer that differentiation. Well, we'll

531
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. We're not asking for that

532
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: differentiation though. In our Twitter poll, just you know, what

533
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: are you looking for in the schedule? We had to

534
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: poll two days ago, how many primetime games do you want?

535
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Ninety percent Steve were either two or three or more?

536
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of response. It's fifty percent said two, forty

537
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: percent said three or more. Are they just flipping a

538
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: coin then saying I hope they're away or the hope

539
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: they're at home? And I know that, you know, the

540
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: vast majority of season ticket holders are within you know,

541
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: a half day's drive of the stadium, right, I mean,

542
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: they're that's a vast majority. But there are those, and

543
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: you know it as well as I do. There are

544
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: people who make the you know, the weekend odyssey to

545
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo wherever they It's a law long trip for them,

546
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: So that that does throw a wrench into their plans,

547
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: no question about it. And when you say a half day,

548
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: what do you talk about three or four hours? That's

549
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: still a long trip. I mean playing four hour time

550
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: home game. You don't get home to the four in

551
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: the morning. Come on, that's great. Yeah, you Tuesday's for gone.

552
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: Forget it now. It is possible too that you can

553
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: work on Monday, leave it five or leave it whatever.

554
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: If it's a four hour drive, you could leave at noon,

555
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't have to take the entire day whatever.

556
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: And there's everybody's different, but still Tuesday's a goner, right,

557
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean complete goner. You're not gonna nobody's gonna go

558
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: to work at getting home at four am on a

559
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Monday on a Tuesday morning. That's crazy talk, I mean,

560
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: and it really does. So when we ask these questions,

561
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 1: you always have to take that into consideration. There are

562
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: people who you know, don't want any part of you know,

563
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: six hour drive on game day. So uh, but I

564
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: think for a lot of people, particularly those people murph

565
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: around the country, Um, the Buffalo has this phenomenon where

566
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: people leave Buffalo and you know, still our Buffalo onions

567
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: at heart, Buffalo Bills fans, we know it. They're scattered

568
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: everywhere across the globe. So they love it when the

569
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: team's on primetime, right because they can, you know, they

570
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: can build their schedule around it. Just it's a TV

571
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: program for them and they you know, and it's their team.

572
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: So that's there's a lot of that going on as well.

573
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: But for people actually being in the stands, a home

574
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: primetime game is not always a gift, right, Hey, details

575
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: of the schedule. I guess they're leaking out our buddy

576
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: Minish Meta New York Daily News Steve he just posted

577
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: something that says the Daily News is learning that the

578
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Jets will travel to Orchard Park to face the Bills

579
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: one o'clock kickoff on the twenty twenty season opener. Interesting,

580
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know if it's true. That makes the speculation that

581
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the first four games would be out of conference games,

582
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: that makes that not blows that up? Yeah, yep, that's

583
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: gone nishe Meta says, Adam Gays team returns to Western

584
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: New York for the first time since Week's seventeen last season,

585
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: when the Bills played their backups and the Jets won.

586
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: The Jets won at thirteen to six. Who knows that

587
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: that's true? It's a there's likely to be more of those.

588
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: But nische Meta has just leaked out that the Bills

589
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: will open that home against the Jets. What he thinks,

590
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: that's fine, Yeah, and if if the league, it'll be interesting.

591
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: If here's the problem, you and I and other we

592
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: just kind of tend to Willie knows, Hey, oh, I

593
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: will just move this game to this spot, in this

594
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: game to that spot. You know that, and they'll But

595
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: the availability and Thad Brown brought this up yesterday. The

596
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: availability is some of these venues is in question now.

597
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, we're not, so we're not so tied to

598
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: that because you know, New Air of Field is pretty

599
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: much a football only stadium and it's used for about

600
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: ten times a year, maybe a summertime concert, a stadium concert,

601
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of those during the offseason, and that's it, right,

602
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: And everything else is just you know, they'll have corporate

603
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: events in the club suites, that kind of stuff, But

604
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: the stadium itself, I mean, it's up for so we

605
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: can you know, the Bills could move their games around

606
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: with the facility being available all the time. That is

607
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: not the case for a lot of teams, and so

608
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: it's not like they're gonna put these interdivisional games in

609
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: the front of the stadium and then just say, hey,

610
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna move them, lay it until later. You know,

611
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: that just just doesn't work like that. So if it

612
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: does come out that the Bills Jets game is on

613
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: Week one in Orchard Park, league doesn't have any plans

614
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: to lop off those games, right right, Well, unless this

615
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: is total speculation, I'm almost unless they figure will make

616
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: it one game against each division opponent, not too you

617
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, We can lose unless you say, well,

618
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and Jets will played just once this year. Look,

619
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: they don't have plans to lop off those games, but

620
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: that maybe a contingency plan. Then then what are they

621
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: because then they're gonna play the Jets once, the Patriots

622
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: twice in the second half of the season, you know

623
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: what I mean. Well, maybe they put all four division

624
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: games up top, they would they wouldn't lop those off.

625
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they do. Maybe the TV people said no,

626
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no no, we need the whatever the

627
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs to play an NFC team, and we need those games.

628
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: We need the interconference stuff more than we need these

629
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: The second round robin Division games, right, but maybe who knows.

630
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: Always I always tend to give the TV people a

631
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: bigger voice. No, I think you're right. It's all about

632
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: the money, right it was, and the TV providing some money. Hey,

633
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break here, we'll come back talk

653
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: are you looking for from the schedule release tonight? Let's

654
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: take a call. Let's go to a Tony in Buffalo. Hello, Tony,

655
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: welcome around the air with this. Hello. Are you guys

656
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: doing good? Go good? I just had a question. If

657
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: New York doesn't open and other states start to open,

658
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: do you think the NFL will allow teams to travel

659
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: out of state areas that are open, so there's no

660
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: competitive advantage and everyone gets a fair shot. Interesting question, Tony,

661
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: I have not heard that. I wouldn't rule it out.

662
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: I think it'd be unlikely, but I guess it would

663
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: be no different than a team picking up operations and

664
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: moving somewhere else for a training camp. I see, yeah.

665
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's an interesting question because you if teams

666
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: want to go to that expense and send their you know,

667
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: send their clubs someplace, they'd also have I mean, there's

668
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: the league say, may hey, go ahead if you want

669
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: but you got to follow these these protocols for keeping

670
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: everybody safe, which would be extensive, I would imagine, costly,

671
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine. But certainly, if it got to the

672
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: point where that's the only way people can have training camp,

673
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: clubs would do it. Clubs would do it. So, yeah,

674
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: it's it's a possibile. It's an interesting question. H Murphy

675
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: said it. How the league may relax it's competitive advantage

676
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: rules just to say, listen, if we can get some

677
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: teams in and let them start getting ready, we need

678
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: to get it. Let them do it. And you guys

679
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: are out there or wherever it is you are that

680
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: are struggling with this, you're on your own or you

681
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of got to have to bite the bullet. Yeah,

682
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: they may give them an option to douce make some adjustments.

683
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: I don't know what those could be, but if it

684
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: is leave or travel, yeah, maybe they would let them

685
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: do it. Maybe they would. I mean, you think about

686
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: consider it. I would think every year usually anyway, I

687
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody did it exactly last year, but

688
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: for the last several years, a team would move to

689
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, right to the Greenbrier Resort

690
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: and have a part of their training camp there. So

691
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: what I mean Tony asked about the bills in particular,

692
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: would they make a move like that. I don't know.

693
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: I think it depends on timing quite frankly, if we

694
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: knew that things are going to be opened up here

695
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: in next I mean, this is all speculative if I

696
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: can't even put time frames on it. But if you

697
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: knew you were going to open up in a month

698
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: and you wanted to get a jump on working out,

699
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: and so you said, if we go here two weeks earlier,

700
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: go to White Sulfur Springs or someplace like that for

701
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, maybe they do that. It'd be expensive,

702
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: they'd be you know, it'd be like you know, just

703
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: think Steve, you can relate to this. Just think of

704
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: the Just think of the operation moving to Spartanburg, South

705
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: Carolina last year for a week during training camp. That

706
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: was a major undertaking. There was a lot of pieces.

707
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: There are a lot of moving parts to that move, right,

708
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of ridiculous and they got

709
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: it done and that was just to get down there. Yeah,

710
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: you know, forget about hygienics and quarantining and socially distancing

711
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: and keeping your players away from fans. You know, yeah,

712
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: it seems mind boggling the challenge it would it would take,

713
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: because listen, if it doesn't work and all of a sudden,

714
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: you have three positive tests on your team, you're done.

715
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: You're you're totally totally in the tank for a month

716
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: at least until you can get everybody quarantined, right, yeah,

717
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: And that could happen whether you're up moving on the

718
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: state or staying at home. It could happen to the

719
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: teams that just open up, you know, gradually. Yeah, so

720
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: nobody's out of the woods. But think what would happen

721
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, I'm just saying that could

722
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: happen on the road when he traveled, just because you

723
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: would theoretically be more exposed, right yeah, So you know,

724
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: that's that's my point, and it brings up a good thing. All. Certainly,

725
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: the league will consider all options to try and make

726
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: things better for its clubs, and expenses would be like, hey, listen,

727
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: if you want to pay it, you know, Baltimore, if

728
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: you want to pay it, or if if Indianapolis wants

729
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: to pay it, or if the Redskins want to pay

730
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: to go down to the Greenbriar or to uh uh

731
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: i AMG Academy in Florida, wherever you want to name.

732
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, go ahead, you spend the money and go.

733
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: If you want to take your guys out to an

734
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: to a resort in Arizona, go ahead. Um. I think

735
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: from what we've from what i've rather the commissioner's memo

736
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: to teams, it sounds like that's not the focus. It

737
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: sounds like they're focused now, and it could change, but

738
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're focused now is to bring players

739
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: back to your facility in your town Buffalo, for example,

740
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: on a systematic basis, you know, guys rehabing injuries first

741
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: and bringing them back and working them out. It sounds

742
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: like that's not the plan. Could have changed, shirtcut, but

743
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: it sounds like that's not the focus of their plan

744
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: right now, doesn't it. Right? Yeah, they're I think they're

745
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: moving a lot slower than that, you know. I think

746
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: they're just saying, all right, listen, what what what can

747
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: we do? You know? And that day. That's that's the

748
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: crushing part about this. It just everything seems to move

749
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: in reality. We sit here and talk about you know,

750
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: this and that and the other possibilities and stuff of

751
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: the simple fact of the matter is no, nothing's moving

752
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: at any pace above a glacier. Right, that's the pride

753
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: you all right, So that's the thing we're sitting here

754
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: in our minds and our conversations, particularly years in mind.

755
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Every day from noon to three we take off and

756
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: we're eight months down the road, and they don't even

757
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do today, anon, You know, they

758
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do this schedule release and then they

759
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: don't know. So it's easy to sit here and speculate.

760
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: But the landscape has changed so much in the last

761
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: eight weeks because eight weeks ago you and I were

762
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: still in the studio, not and didn't give it a

763
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: second thought. Right, seven weeks ago we didn't go to work.

764
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, well we've worked every day. Come on, just

765
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: sat down to work. I guess that's right. Better accurate? Hey,

766
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: Twitter fall today. The schedule schedule comes out tonight seven

767
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: thirty by the Bills eight o'clock the NFL. What do

768
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: you want to see in the bills twenty twenty schedule?

769
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight h three five fifty toll

770
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty on

771
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems,

772
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills from Pat I

773
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: would like to see the Bills get a few Sunday

774
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: night games with the top teams from last year, a

775
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: few Sunday night games. With the harder schedule this year

776
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: comes more preparation week to week. Sunday night games would

777
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: give them the rest and extra time to prepare. John

778
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: plays great on prime Time also good points. I don't

779
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: know if the harder schedule means more preparation week week.

780
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: I would think their preparation schedule would probably remain the same.

781
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hear it. Sunday Night wouldn't disrupt wouldn't

782
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: disrupt the schedule too much, and it would be national exposure.

783
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: I can see why people would root for that. Steve absolutely,

784
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: and I think he's right and some of the things.

785
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: And I was watched I told you yesterday as watching

786
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: that thanksgiving him. I'm sure a lot of people saw

787
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: it was re aired on a win on YouTube last

788
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: week and there's a watch parties or something. But the

789
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: thing that we used to say was Josh he had

790
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of bright lights in him. You know,

791
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: he likes it, plays good in it, and that's kind

792
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: of cool to think about and to see, and maybe

793
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: that continues. But another thing that I saw was we

794
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: got a coaching staff that gets the most out of

795
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: its guys. After those first couple of series of the games,

796
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: they get a handle on what that other team's doing.

797
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: They're on it, and they make some calls and some

798
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, I remember in Thanksgiving game, Murphy Sean McDermott,

799
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: they go out there on a crucial, crucial fourth down

800
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: try or maybe a third down try, third and long,

801
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: and they go out there, they show a look and

802
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott calls a time out. He was strictly using

803
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: that time out to find out what their look was

804
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: on that third down. Then he changed his look and

805
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: he said, when we get in this and we get

806
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: in a defensive look, that gives us one more play

807
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: where we know what they're thinking about in this game.

808
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: So in the next and the second half, they you know,

809
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: they go back to it and and they've got an

810
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: edge on the Cowboys because they know what their what

811
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: their adjustment is to a defensive look. So that kind

812
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: of stuff gives me the confidence that, a you got

813
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's gonna be ready and light it up

814
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: in the bright lights and be This coaching staff is

815
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: really good, and I think when they get on in

816
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: those big games like that, they don't miss a trick.

817
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: I just have a lot of faith in McDermott and

818
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: his staff to get the most out of this roster,

819
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: and this foster has a lot under the hood. What

820
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: are you looking for from the bills twenty twenty schedule?

821
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet, Jeffrey says, I want all Sunday

822
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: early games. I know it won't happen, but to me,

823
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: that's the best time to watch a game. There are

824
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: people who feel that way. Sunday one o'clock the best

825
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: time for a game. Doesn't disrupt your schedule too much.

826
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: It's the traditional time to watch a game. I can

827
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: see why people would want to have Sunday one o'clock, Steve,

828
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: I can really And that's what we had last year.

829
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: We had a dynamite schedule last year. Late games, but

830
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: the home games were perfect. It was a great It

831
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: was a great, great schedule last year for the Bills,

832
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: and they took advantage of it. They won ten games

833
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: and then had another game that you know, they they

834
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't even have to play, so really good. And I

835
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a doubt that this schedule

836
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: this year will be as good as last year as was.

837
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think it'll happen because last year's was

838
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: was maybe a perfect schedule. Let's be honest. What made

839
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: last year's schedule favorable was their opponents. We know who

840
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: they're playing. This year, they're playing a tougher schedule regardless

841
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: of when or where or Thursday or Sunday. Right, That's

842
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: what made last year so good. Their opponents. Yeah, it

843
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: was we're playing the uh played the AFC South, AFC North, right, Yeah,

844
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: and that we didn't we skipped the West, you know,

845
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: um where the where the Chiefs live. They played NFC

846
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: East anyway, and the NFC East was a week week

847
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: schedule last year. Got more coming up One Bills Live.

848
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio, Murpheys Team Tasker Schedule Release

849
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: Day comes out tonight seven thirty on Buffalo Bills dot com.

850
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: On the Bills social media platforms comes out league wide

851
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. Uh, very many leaks out there, now. See.

852
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: We talked about Venischmida's league of the Jets coming here

853
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: to open the season. Others have other leagues. I don't

854
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: know what to believe, And to be honest, I don't

855
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: know how much I want to repeat them. I mean,

856
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: we're in a different spot here working for the team.

857
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: We don't want people to think if we say something,

858
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: we know anything, because you know, nobody. I've consulted all

859
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: the sources here in my kitchen in Orchard Park, and

860
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: they don't know what the schedule looks like. I'm sure

861
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: you've done all people. That's actually right. And here's the

862
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: thing too, I the clubs themselves don't get it till

863
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: this afternoon, like what is it, murph like at four

864
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: four thirty something like that. They get it. It'll probably

865
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: come in any minute now, I would think to the team,

866
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't you thinking about one o'clock. They'll get it, right, Yeah,

867
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: they'll have it. So that's that's part of the deal

868
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: with the NFL. The clubs get it before they release

869
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: it to the general public. And they get it like

870
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: what three hours or four hours before or even if

871
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: it's now it's it's uh, you know, seven hours before

872
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: they release it to the public on a TV program,

873
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: So it's possible that the clubs are getting it even

874
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: as we speak, and that you know, once the clubs

875
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: have it, you know, some clubs don't know how to

876
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: keep secrets. So maybe Monique, guys like Miniche Meta can

877
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: get this, but that, um, we certainly don't. Nobody's calling

878
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: me and you right, No, as I said, I've consulted

879
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: all my sources here, nobody has it. And look, it's

880
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: the big news of the day. How much doesn't matter.

881
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna play it. We think so, and

882
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: so we had we had Thad Brown on the show yesterday.

883
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: He's popping off now saying, Hey, the bill's schedule leak

884
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: is in. Hang on, I'm gonna right, I don't know,

885
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: we'll see it's it's up in the eye. It's gonna

886
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: come out. We're all gonna find out today and at

887
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: what times we find out and what the accurate information is.

888
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to wait until I see something with

889
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: an NFL shield on it that tells me that this

890
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: is the official schedule. Right. Speaking of schedules, Steve doesn't

891
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: worry about this when many baseball fans are worried about

892
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: when Major League Baseball would return to play. Report today

893
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: that they expect to offer a return to play proposal

894
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: of the Players Association this week, within a week. Anyway,

895
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: we're telling baseball players to prepare for spring training that

896
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: could begin in mid June and a season that could

897
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: start in early July. That would be progress, Steve, even

898
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: if you don't like baseball, that's progress. And baseball's telling players,

899
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have a little two week spring training,

900
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: then we'll start playing games fourth of July. That'd be

901
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: all right, half a season. I think that'd be all right. Yeah,

902
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: that would be a welcomed step, right, Yeah, to see

903
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: guys competing and stuff. You know, I don't know what

904
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: what details there would be if that fans, no fans. Yeah,

905
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: that's all all these now that we're gonna have to

906
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: start seeing these leagues come together, the NHL, the NBA,

907
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, who are all really affected by the coronavirus.

908
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see all these theories

909
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: that we have, you know, shot into the air, see

910
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: which ones actually you know, land on their feet, which

911
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: ones are really true. It'll be interesting to see because

912
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: we've all got theories and plans and ideas and bounced

913
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: to you and I bounced them off each other all

914
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: the time, and we hear all of them just about

915
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see which ones actually come to

916
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: fruition because something's going to happen sooner or later, probably later,

917
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: but sooner or later. This is what's going to happen

918
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,840

936
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: the Bills Mobile app. Yesterday, the NFL laid out protocols

937
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: for the gradual reopening the team facilities, a process that

938
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: would begin with select staff members and eventually expand to

939
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: include players. According to a memo from Roger Goodell, team

940
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: facilities have been closed since March due to the pandemic,

941
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: but as state and local governments begin easy restrictions, the

942
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: league wants teams to be ready to implement the first

943
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: phase of the protocols by May fifteenth. While Jadamion Clowney

944
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: remains open to resigning with the Seahawks, the defensive end

945
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: would have to take significantly less money than what the

946
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: team previously offered him. According to ESPN, the Seahawk to

947
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: not shut the door on resigning County, but it is

948
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: not considered likely, in part because of the financial situation.

949
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: DeVante Booker is getting ready to carry the football again.

950
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: The former Broncos running back as agreed terms with the

951
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. The news first reported in Sacramento. His

952
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: best season was his first, in which he had six

953
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: hundred twelve yard and the former Chiefs offensive lineman Cameron

954
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: Irvin has decided to sign with the Dallas Cowboys a

955
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: one year deal. The former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman

956
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: at a three year run helping the Chiefs of the

957
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year. Now he decided to take his

958
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: talents to the Dallas Cowboys. And there you go the

959
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,000

961
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: to go through our number two, we're gonna be talking

962
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: to Steve Smith from NFL Network coming up in just

963
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. He's an NFL Network analyst. He

964
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: may want to talk about tonight's schedule release on the

965
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: NFL Network eight o'clock. As we said, the Bills social

966
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: media platforms will have information on the schedule at seven

967
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: thirty tonight, and we don't know all kinds of leaks,

968
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of speculation out there, and we don't know

969
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: what's true and what's not true. We'll get you the

970
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: information as soon as we know eight oh three five

971
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight five fifty two five fifty.

972
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: See if we thought it was appropriate to ask fans,

973
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: what do you want to see in the schedule? Right?

974
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to see prime time games? You want

975
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: to see the season opener at home for the first

976
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: time in three years. You want to see if you

977
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: were December home games. This is when you get to wish,

978
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: not that it'll have any impact, but you get the

979
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: state to us what you're looking for from the schedule.

980
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: I think that's important. Yeah, Plus home and away is

981
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: huge obviously, and I think most a lot of fans

982
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: love seeing their If they'd like seeing their team in

983
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: the stadium on a one o'clock on a one o'clock

984
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon game, and then if it's a if it's

985
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: away game, give it to me on primetime. You know.

986
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: That's That's what I think a lot of fans would like.

987
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: But it's for a team. Maybe we can ask Steep

988
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: Smith Senior. For a team, I think it's harder to

989
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: go on the road in a primetime game and win,

990
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: you know, t get up for a home primetime game.

991
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: I would think, Yep, Steve Smith Senior on the line

992
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: with us right now, NFL Network analyst. Sixteen seasons in

993
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: the league with Carolina and Baltimore, six times in the

994
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Hello Steve Smith, Thanks coming on. We really

995
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I appreciate how you guys doing. We're doing.

996
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh great? Yeah, thank great. Everybody should be as Steve

997
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: from a player's perspective, you know, we're making a big

998
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: deal out of NFL schedule release, primarily because there's not

999
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of other sports. But what a players

1000
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: look for. What's the first thing when you were playing

1001
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: you looked at when you got a team schedule for

1002
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: that year. You know that that's a great question, and

1003
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: you always look at what what are the big games? Right?

1004
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: Is it at home or away? And then you know

1005
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, I'm a receiver, so you know,

1006
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: I can kind of be open and honess transparent. You know, Hey,

1007
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: if it's a big game, what colors are we wearing?

1008
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: And then I go and then after that I take

1009
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: more of a d D dive into what corners do

1010
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: they have? You know, then I'll talk to my my

1011
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: videographer for the team to get me tape on that

1012
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: guy and depend on how good he is is depending

1013
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: on how much film that I'll take that I'll need,

1014
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: and I'll start preparing my season right now in offseason

1015
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: wants the schedules are released to be able to know

1016
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: right if I'm playing a Richard Sherman, I want to know.

1017
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: I want to have film on him like last year

1018
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: and the year before and possibly what he do in

1019
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: Seattle that they may implement. So it's a deep dive

1020
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: into you know, it's a business, into being prepared of

1021
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: what I need to know. And a great segue into

1022
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: that is tonight at APM Eastern on NFL Network for

1023
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 1: four hour live show hosted by Rich Eyes and Colleen Wolf,

1024
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, Deon Sanders, My Steve Smith, but Steve mary

1025
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: Ut and Steve weish Man. We got some guests Andy Reid, Coach,

1026
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Bruce Arians, Mike Tomas, Mike Tomman, uh, John Elway,

1027
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: John Lynch, Derwin James, and many more. I gotta do

1028
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: you care whether it's a home or way, Like if

1029
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a Monday night game, Steve, do you

1030
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: do you care whether it's or was it better to

1031
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: go on the road as an underdog or a favorite

1032
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: or a home dog or a home favorite. Uh, how

1033
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: much did you get into the home and a way

1034
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: for like primetime game Sunday night, Monday night. So listen,

1035
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: first of all, if it's a home owner way, what

1036
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: time of year is it? If I let's just use

1037
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: use Buffalo for example, if I'm playing Buffalo in December

1038
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: and it's a night game, good discussions, is gonna be

1039
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: a bit cold, right, and so that that does have

1040
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: an impact. Then also too, how many people are we

1041
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna play? If I'm talking about the Buffalo Bills of

1042
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, you know it's gonna be a slop knocker.

1043
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 1: They got the defense, that's something outstanding in the top

1044
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: ten there. They're stopping people, converting stopping on third down,

1045
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: you know in the high upper fifties or sixties of

1046
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: not converting opposing offenses not converting third downs. Right, And

1047
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: then also too, they're excellent at scoring, defense, point differential,

1048
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: all of those things. And if you're playing at the

1049
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: end of the season or late into the season, you

1050
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: already nobody's one hundred percent. And then you got to

1051
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: play a physical team. Man, that's a psychological mind trick.

1052
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: Before you even got on the plane going to that city,

1053
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: going to that game. Yeah, from listening to you this far,

1054
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: it seems to me, no matter what the schedule is,

1055
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: home away night, game, primetime, Thursday, Sunday at one, for you,

1056
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: it's all about the guys you're playing. It really doesn't

1057
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: matter home away night or primetime. You want to know

1058
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: what kind of team you're playing, what kind of guy

1059
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: you're playing, and how that affects your game that day,

1060
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: and plus conditions, as you said, at home or way

1061
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: and and uh cold conditions or warm conditions. But you're

1062
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: all about Really it's more about the opponent rather than

1063
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: home and away and uh nighttime or daytime. Well it

1064
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: does well, I don't want to be stuck in a

1065
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: hotel right in in Buffalo, in wherever, even in Vegas.

1066
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because then now I gotta sit in there,

1067
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: I gotta sit around all day. Well, am I gonna

1068
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: sit around all day in a hotel? Or do I

1069
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: have the luxury's sitting around all day at home where

1070
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: I can maybe get some work done, or my body

1071
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: where I can maybe I have some familiarity where I

1072
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: can let my mind wander off instead of being cooped

1073
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: up into a hotel room having hotel food, right, So

1074
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: that's where the professionalism and that I want to know

1075
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: where home or away because if it's a saying Sunday

1076
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: night or Monday night game, well for me, after me meetings,

1077
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: I'll go home and I maybe go have lunch where

1078
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: my kids at school because that gets me completely away

1079
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: from football. I get to relax. I'm not tied. I'm

1080
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: not getting rammed up, ribbed up too quickly when I

1081
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: still got seven and a half hours before kickoff. So

1082
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: that does that Home and away does have some of

1083
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: that because of what do I need? What's that Mike's

1084
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: what is at my leisure or that's good for me

1085
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: to go to that I can really allow my mind

1086
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: to drift off and kind of refocus or take a

1087
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: healthy a healthy thing that can make me think about

1088
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: something else. The NFL schedule released twenty twenty tonight, eight

1089
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: o'clock on NFL Network. We're live with the NFL Network

1090
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: candle of Steve Smith and Steve we are asking, you know,

1091
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: the Bills have kind of and they're in transition quite frankly.

1092
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: They've gone from a team that was an underdog, a

1093
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: lot not expected much to a team that many people

1094
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: think it's going to be pretty good. How does that

1095
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: impact how they play? Do you think with players rather uh,

1096
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 1: you know, be the hunter as opposed to the hunting

1097
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: the team with the target on their back, what do

1098
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: you think? Well, I know, Sean, I've been I've been

1099
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: up there in that organization. I know quite a bit

1100
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: of the players. Know the general manager, right, I know

1101
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: a player put player personnel with them Morgan, So I

1102
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of ties to him, and I know

1103
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: that those guys, and I had the luxury when I

1104
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: was up there to meet some of those guys. I

1105
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: understand what Sean is building. Sean is not going to

1106
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: allow those guys to rest on their laws and rest

1107
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: on being successful or rest on being well. Tom Brady's

1108
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: not um in New England. So yeah, it's just going

1109
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: to come to us in a silver platter. Sean knows

1110
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: that he has to earn it, and he has to

1111
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: put players around there who will not be okay with

1112
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: status quo, who who are not afraid to get their

1113
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: hands dirty and be worker bees right, and understand that

1114
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: he needs enough Indians and chiefs, because if you got

1115
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: all Indians or all chiefs, then that means some things

1116
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: are going to get missed. So you need a healthy

1117
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: combination of everything, or what I mean by Indians and

1118
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: chiefs meaning the wheels on the car. Every person plays

1119
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: a role for a car to work. If the car

1120
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: has no gas and it's and it's not battery operated,

1121
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: it ain't working. If a car is on cinder blocks,

1122
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: you can't drive it. If the if the spark plugs

1123
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: aren't changed, if the fuel injection is not looked at,

1124
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: then it will not run right. And that means you're

1125
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: not prepared for the race. And so everybody has to

1126
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: play their part. Steve, I was interested in getting your

1127
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: opinion about this offseason. It's been there's a lot of uncertainty.

1128
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: Certainly the players and coaches haven't been able to get

1129
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: together yet There's not that much they would have been

1130
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: doing anyway. But if this pre season gets compressed and

1131
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: there's no OTAs, there's no mini camps, there's no offseason

1132
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: workout program, and everybody shows up, say, for instance, shows

1133
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: up in late July, a couple of weeks of training

1134
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: camp preseason games, and let's go, how much of an

1135
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: advantage would teams have. Who have they got their quarterback

1136
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: in place. They got both coordinators in places, still best,

1137
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: same head coach, same systems, same core players. You know

1138
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: how much of an advantage is that going to be

1139
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: this year? Well, it won't be an advantage, but it's

1140
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: still gonna be a sloppy September and to get it

1141
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: together October and finally fine tune on in November. That's

1142
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: how I kind of look at it. And you guys

1143
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: have seen with the new rules allowing not allowing them

1144
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: to hit as much and all that stuff, and you're

1145
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of soft tissue injuries because I

1146
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: don't care how much. You know, you can never simulate

1147
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: and you can't out nutrition. Many car accidents and when

1148
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: you train, your training and I and I trained with

1149
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: the same guy for many years, and I trained with

1150
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: a heart rate monitor, and but you have to have

1151
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: data information to be able to know. So if you

1152
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: don't know what you're training for, then you're just blindly training.

1153
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: Do you know if you're over training? And what I

1154
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: mean by that is a great example my heart rate

1155
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: after a big place, say I call the past, you know,

1156
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: fifty yard fifty yard cats or twenty yard cats broke

1157
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: a few tackles got up, and you know it was

1158
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: very exuberant. All of a sudden, I spin the ball,

1159
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: get back to the hut. I look at my right

1160
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: arm underneath my wristband. My heart rate would be two twenty.

1161
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: So I would have to do my training to get

1162
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: my heart rate up to one sixty one seventy and

1163
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: then see how long it takes for it to get

1164
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: back into one thirties. Because my body must have to

1165
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: go through that. Because my first couple of weeks of

1166
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: training or my trainer with the heart rate model, I

1167
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: would puke because I go from playing football to twenty

1168
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: to twenty five heart rate to not doing anything and

1169
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: then I gonna start training one seventy eight. Man, my

1170
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: body was in shock. My body said, what do we do?

1171
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Or even sitting around you bump for two for two

1172
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: to three months, and now you all of a sudden,

1173
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna go get your heart rate up that fast.

1174
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: So I have to slowly gradually build that up. Just

1175
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: like muscles and lifting weights. You just can't go out

1176
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: there and bench two twenty if you never bench before,

1177
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you gotta build it up. And so if they're not

1178
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: able to do that and they're having virtual tours and

1179
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: virtual meetings and you're playing your quarterback. Let's just say

1180
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is out there throwing passes, but he's throwing

1181
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: to a guy that he played at wy On Me.

1182
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: With being in Utah alumni, I don't have a lot

1183
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of great things to say well by wy On Me

1184
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: because I'm just a Utah guy through and through. So

1185
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slight the wide receiver that played with Josh

1186
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Alan and college. So he does. He's not a professional athlete.

1187
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: He's maybe working at her he's working a regular job.

1188
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: He hadn't played in the last four or five years

1189
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: or two or three years that he's with job that

1190
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Josh has been in the league. So he goes out

1191
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: there and running route. You're telling me, a dude that's

1192
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: a accountant that played with Josha Wyoming is going to

1193
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: run a precise route like let's Stefon Diggs is running

1194
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: against a top flight corner. Heck no. So that in itself,

1195
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: you have to get that stuff down in the timing

1196
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: and understand John Brown runs a different speed than Cole Beasley.

1197
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: That's facts. That's not being racist or trying to that,

1198
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: that's just facts. Cole Beasley is a surgeon in the slot,

1199
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: but John Brown is a surgeon on speed. And that,

1200
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: my friends, are why you need practice, because no matter

1201
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: how strong or army you have, John Brown is running

1202
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: a different route than Diggs and Beasley and all these

1203
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: other guys. Zach Marson, you talk, guy, y'all just got

1204
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: he may hit a toss totally different than Devin Singletary.

1205
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: That's just how it goes Singleton, So that's just how

1206
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: it goes. He see. If I want to ask you

1207
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: about something I saw on Twitter, NFL film says a

1208
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: complete highlight reel of you trash talking. Yeah, that was

1209
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: an important part of your game, wasn't it just talking

1210
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: about your opponents, talking to your opponents. How much did

1211
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: you use that, dude? You know, make yourself better, make

1212
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: yourself a more tough opponent for teams. Honestly, I saw that.

1213
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I kind of cringe because some of the times I

1214
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: wish I didn't do it. But one of the things

1215
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: that I did when I played, when I spun the

1216
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: ball and I got all exuberant, I was actually talking

1217
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: to myself, I'll catch a ball on the guy who

1218
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: tried to jam me, and I would say, why does

1219
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: he believe he can cover you today? And he just

1220
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: happened to be around the conversation and got to hear me.

1221
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: But I wasn't talking to him. I was self motivating.

1222
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: I heard a story that I live with to this day.

1223
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: And the Serengetti desert, a gazelle wakes, gets up and

1224
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: when the sun rise, he understands that he must run

1225
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: faster than the fastest lion or he will eat be

1226
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: eating that day, And those same Serengetti desert, there's a

1227
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: lion who understands he must run faster than the fastest

1228
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: gazelle or he will stop starve and eventually died that day.

1229
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: So when the sun rise the sun, you must be

1230
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: you best be running. So when I get up like

1231
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I do still today, when the sun came up this

1232
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: day today at six this I was in the sweat.

1233
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I was sweating it. I was running my neighborhood with

1234
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: my dog, because that's my routine. Just because I no

1235
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: longer play football, I still have a regiment and a

1236
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: routine and a discipline and myself and I can't expect

1237
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: my child or anyone else, or any of my employees

1238
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: or people I work with to do anything I'm unwilling

1239
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: to do for myself, which is hard work. So for me,

1240
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: you played in the league for sixteen years, and are

1241
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: you try You talk some tra I think every player

1242
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: at some point in their career talks trash, But there

1243
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: is a benefit to it at times. For you, the

1244
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: benefit at times was self motivated. You kept yourself razor

1245
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: sharp mentally, being able to compete, talking to yourself about

1246
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: your opponent, making sure you had a positive mental outlook

1247
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: when you when you lined up and look the guy

1248
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: in the eye. But there's also some times when when

1249
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: you know you got some benefit because of what it

1250
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: did to the other player. Either it motivated him or

1251
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: it broke his heart, one of the two. Well, well, listen,

1252
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: I can tell you this. When I'm lined up and

1253
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I look at the man's eyes and he looks down,

1254
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: I know he no logo wants to any piece of me.

1255
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: And that in itself, let you know. And that's when

1256
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: you know. In real life they say, don't be the

1257
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: dead horse. But in a football game, you can beat

1258
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: that dead horse twice if you want to, and he

1259
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: won't do a thing about it. And that, my friends,

1260
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: are that's the physical aspect of football that you can

1261
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: never get back. And I love looking a man in

1262
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: his eyes, But I also love looking a man eyes

1263
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: and shaking his hand and say, you know what, You're

1264
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: a tough SLB. And that was a great game. And

1265
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the next time we play, I will be watching more

1266
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: film and evaluate this to be able to come at

1267
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: you a lot better than I did that day. I

1268
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: looked at trash talk and film as data and information

1269
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: to get better or in to improve. Steve, you played

1270
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: in the league sixteen years. You saw the league evolved

1271
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: during your day. It changes for all of us, and

1272
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: it continues to change even now. But now the league

1273
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: is coming where everybody throws out three wide. You're there,

1274
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Steve lost. I think we lost, Steve Tasker. Hey, Steve Smith,

1289
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm good. I think now. I think it's

1290
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: that new mic. I just use your error. Giant says

1291
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: you got a mike is about the size of a

1292
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: loaf of wonder bread, and h I feel more professional

1293
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: than you. That's all I can say. Yeah, and we

1294
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: have had no complaints about my mic. None here I'm

1295
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: tapping it now. Can you even hear the tap? I'll

1296
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: find something to complain you're mike. I'm afraid to complain

1297
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: for you. It looks like our two D two. It

1298
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: looks like our two D two. It's about the same

1299
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: size as our two D two. Your mic it is

1300
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: height put a little blue dots and stuff trim. It

1301
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: would look exactly like R two D two. Steve Signal

1302
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,439
Speaker 1: froze up when he had a question where we're gonna

1303
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: ask Steve Smith, Steve Tesker, what we're gonna ask him something? Uh,

1304
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: it's if this off season and it's you know, no,

1305
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I did ask him that, didn't I about the offseason

1306
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: short and Uh, yeah, that's I don't know. I can't remember.

Speaker 1: Brown and Maddy Glabo hosts a special seven thirty show

1315
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: tonight about the schedule release, and it's I'll have Eric

1316
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Wood with him. They'll have a general manager, Brandon Being

1317
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: with them. They'll talk about the schedule, what's in it,

1318
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: and what are some of the highlights of the schedule.

1319
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: So if you're a Bills fan, you get schedule released

1320
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: at seven thirty. The rest of the schedule, the NFL

1321
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: schedule comes out at eight meantime. Details, well not details,

1322
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: detail leaked out that the Bills are going to open

1323
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: at home against the New York Jets unofficial, several people

1324
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: reported minish meta of the New York Daily News, the

1325
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: first to do so league probably coming from the Jets,

1326
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: you would think, but it would be the first time

1327
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: in three years the Bills have opened at home. They

1328
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: haven't done that since they opened at home against the

1329
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: Jets in twenty seventeen. Right twenty eighteen, they went to Baltimore.

1330
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: Last year they went to the Jets. Third opener against

1331
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: the Jets in a four year span, you play them

1332
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: twice a year, so I guess that makes sense. They

1333
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: beat the Jets in Sean mcdermot's first game ever twenty

1334
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: one to twelve and twenty seventeen. But that'd be good, Steve,

1335
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: That'll be fun if that is in fact the case.

1336
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm more I think about I'm just gonna wait till

1337
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: seven thirty because there's so many leaks, all the speculation about. Well,

1338
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: certainly they're gonna play the NFC opponents first because they

1339
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: can lop those games off. If the Jets report is true,

1340
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: which given the effect that many people report it that

1341
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 1: would you know the NFL see a thing? Would not

1342
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: be true. So I can wait until seven thirty, can't

1343
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: choose six hours away? Would it? Would it be? Would

1344
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: it give you comfort to think that the NFL knows

1345
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: something about how fast they're going to be able to

1346
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: open up in three months? I don't believe they do.

1347
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: There's wishful thinking, but I don't believe they know. Do

1348
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: you think they would be Do you think they would

1349
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: be wishful thinkers about their schedule? Yeah, something that important? Yeah,

1350
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: because they know they can adjust it, and they're gonna

1351
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: tell I think they're gonna tell people, hey, this is

1352
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: subject to adjustment if we have to. Yeah, I do.

1353
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: I think, uh yeah, And I don't think they know anything,

1354
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Look, can they say with certainty?

1355
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Can you say can anybody say whether there'll be a relapse,

1356
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: whether it'll be a second wave of coronavirus coming up

1357
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: this fall? Many people think there will be that would

1358
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: impact what goes on in September, right, I think yeah.

1359
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like they to do it in

1360
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: the reverse or they say, Okay, we're gonna lop off

1361
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: the back four games. You know, I didn't make any sense,

1362
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: So I it's it's I would say, and I and

1363
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: I know that this is, you know, difficult times for

1364
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: all of us ms. It's a new normal. Why the

1365
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: league wouldn't say, listen, here's the sixteen game schedule. If

1366
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: we get to if we get to July and it's

1367
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: not going to work, we have another schedule in our

1368
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: back pocket that's fourteen games. And if that doesn't work,

1369
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: we're gona have a separate schedule in our pocket for

1370
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: twelve games. I think that would be the way to go, right,

1371
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Just do it completely separate, not lop off games, but

1372
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: have a completely new, refurbished schedule that you can just

1373
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: pull out with different parameters obviously for each one of them, right,

1374
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: I mean, all we gotta do is make it up.

1375
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: I guess I do think there'd be some issues with

1376
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: that if fans are coming to games. What if you're

1377
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, you want to come to Buffalo September

1378
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: thirteenth to see the Jets open up at Buffalo, and

1379
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden that games, you know, mid November.

1380
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how much you want to

1381
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: jerk people around like that that's all about Well, I mean,

1382
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: that's that's no different than finding out on you know,

1383
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: two or three weeks lay. Everybody's gonna know that, say, listen,

1384
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: we got another schedule. If it comes out this schedule

1385
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: is subject to change, people take their chances. Then, you know,

1386
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: if they're gonna buy plane tickets or rent hotels, they

1387
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: know that they may be having to get out of

1388
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: it later. So I think that that gives them full note.

1389
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: They're on full notice now that this schedule may change.

1390
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look at we did here last December when

1391
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: the Bills at Pittsburgh game was flexed to Sunday night.

1392
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: There were people impacted by that, people who said, hey,

1393
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I was going to drive to Pittsburgh

1394
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: and drive home that Sunday. Now I can't. Right I'm saying,

1395
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: is there are implications if you your schedule can be

1396
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: somewhat flexible. I don't know how flexible you can be.

1397
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can be ultimately flexible for

1398
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: fans primarily who may not matter, and if there's no fans,

1399
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: and for coaching. Right, coaches prepare for games in a

1400
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: certain way. Look, they don't wait the week before the

1401
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Jets game to start looking at Jets video. They if

1402
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: they know they're opening against them, they start looking at video.

1403
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 1: Now they assigned that as a special project to some coaches,

1404
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: right when't they? Yeah, but that's not much different than

1405
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 1: what it always is, particularly with the flex scheduling. You

1406
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: never know when your games, you know, and that's the

1407
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: same for fans too, everybody. You never know if your

1408
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: game's day or night, but other than right right, So

1409
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: it could be it could be all of that in

1410
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: the same sentence. I mean, every year is like that.

1411
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Forget the COVID violate the COVID thing. These games can

1412
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: be moved around all the time, and they have been

1413
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: for different reasons. You know, the Bills moved games for weather. Um,

1414
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 1: So it's I don't know if it's putting the fans

1415
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: at that much of an unusual situation and changing the

1416
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: schedule in July or August, you know, I mean it does.

1417
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: It will cause the problems for some, no question, But

1418
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: that's something that they they're up against every year. I

1419
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: guess I wouldn't discount that. I'm saying it's a primary concern,

1420
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: but I think they would be concerned about what are

1421
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: we doing to who have tickets or are planning this

1422
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: trip or that trip. I think say this, I wouldn't

1423
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: print any tickets. If it's the old days where they

1424
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: printed tickets, I wouldn't print them yet. Right, Yeah, let's

1425
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: says hold off that printing printing bill just for a minute.

1426
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: Let's don't print those yet. Now everything's electronic, so it's different.

1427
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 1: But still I don't think it's I think fans understand

1428
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: it this particularly this year. Certainly last year we did

1429
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: hear you and I on the radio heard an outcry.

1430
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, I was gonna go to the Pittsburgh game,

1431
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 1: you know, and that now I can't get back. Same

1432
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: thing with the Cleveland game. If they flex the Cleveland

1433
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: game to a night game, people would bum out so

1434
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: a three hour drive they could make it home by

1435
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the night game on TV on Sunday. I've done that

1436
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. We'd do the game at one o'clock

1437
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Cleveland, high walk out, hoping the vehicle

1438
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 1: drive home. I walk in and I get something to

1439
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: eat before the eight o'clock Sunday night football game comes on.

1440
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: You know at home, So you put at night, you

1441
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 1: put the move a Bills game Orland in Cleveland to

1442
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the you know, to that level, go back to an

1443
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: eight o'clock game, and then you know it's like I

1444
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: get home at three am. No way right. Our question

1445
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: is about the schedule today. Our topic is about the schedule.

1446
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: We got phone lines open. What do you want to

1447
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: see in the Bills twenty twenty schedule? Got five hundred

Speaker 1: eighty three people responding to our Twitter poll. Sixty four percent,

1449
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: almost two thirds of you, say you want to see

1450
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: two or more prime time games. Huh. Seventeen percent say

1451
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: you want the season opener at home. If you believe

1452
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: the report's out there right now the schedule leak, you're

1453
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: getting that wish. Fourteen percent say you want fewer December

1454
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 1: home games. They had two in December last year, they

1455
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: had three the year before. Five percent have something else

1464
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: Steve and I debate various topics around the NFL. Give

1465
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: our thoughts on them. What's for lunch? Steve? Most vulnerable

1466
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: division champs? Packers or Eagles? What about the Patriots? How

1467
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: come they're not one? Well? Vulnerable? That's a different lunch menu, murvh.

1468
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I think it's something's missing from the menu. Why pat Packers? Look,

1469
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles won the NFC East very competitive last year.

1470
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: They might not win it this year. I get that

1471
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys would be a candidate there. I everything the Packers,

1472
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the NFC North champs. Who's gonna challenge them? Um? I

1473
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 1: guess Minnesota? Ken? What about the Patriots? I mean, how

1474
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: many people call on the show and said the Bills

1475
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 1: are the team to beat in the AFC eas Why

1476
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: aren't the Patriots a vulnerable division champ? Steve who came

1477
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: up with I would say, they would you're gonna out,

1478
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: You're gonna order something special from the kitchen there, say

1479
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: the Pats You're gonna go off the menu? And say

1480
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I would say the Patriots as well, and

1481
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: I also say Packers are Eagles. I would say the Eagles.

1482
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: I would say the Eagles. I like what Dallas is doing. Um,

1483
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: Washington is not gonna threatened them. The Giants and I

1484
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: don't know. The Eagles may not be, the Packers might be.

1485
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings can take the Packers this year.

1486
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bears and the Detroit Lions will continue

1487
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: being the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions, so they

1488
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: won't hurt, they won't threaten the Packers. Man, that is

1489
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: a tough choice between the Packers and the Eagles. Yeah,

1490
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: but I agree with you. The better thing would be

1491
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: the thing off the menu and be the Patriots better

1492
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: comeback player of the year candidate. This is a good

1493
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: one too. This gets me. It got me thinking, as

1494
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,799
Speaker 1: out of this the other day, who's a better candidate

1495
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: for a comeback Player of the Year Ben Roethlisberger miss

1496
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: most of his season last year with the jury, or

1497
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 1: or Rob Gronkowski coming back after a year off of

1498
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: how good a year does each of him have? Yeah,

1499
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: I think Look, I think Ben Roethlisberger is a better

1500
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year candidate. I think he'll play

1501
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: more often I'll start every game when he's healthy, and

1502
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll have more of an impact on what

1503
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers do than than than Gronkowski will. So I

1504
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: would say he's a better candidate. I agree. And he's

1505
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: playing quarterback on a team that's going to throw the

1506
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: football all over the place, and he injured his throwing arm.

1507
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 1: So if he comes back and throws for five thousand

1508
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: yards or forty five hundred yards plus, yeah, it's him

1509
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. Um, he's the guy and I

1510
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: and I and that's how I would see it. I

1511
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: think Ben Roethlisberger, if he comes back and plays really well,

1512
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: he did it after tearing the tendon or whatever his

1513
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: injury was on his throwing elbow. Yeah, i'd say Ben

1514
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger as well. I would agree. Yeah, all right, what's

1515
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: for lunch? Here's another good one. Which quarterback um will

1516
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: be signed by a team? First free agent quarterback Cam

1517
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: Newton or Joe Flacco. I say Cam Newton. I think

1518
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: he's a better athlete. He's has got arm, he's uh now,

1519
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: couldn't This is consider if they're both healthy, which you know,

1520
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco fake fake, he failed the physical in Denver.

1521
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: Um if Cam Newton's healthy and Joe Flacco is healthy,

1522
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: I gotta say I take Cam Newton. I really do.

1523
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: I gotta say I take Cam Newton. Now, Joe Flacco

1524
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,879
Speaker 1: brings a different set of skills. They are completely different quarterbacks.

1525
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco never runs, very accurate passer, a good arm,

1526
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 1: but he is limited in his playmaking ability. Cam Newton

1527
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: just the oppositely. Got a big He's got a big arm,

1528
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: but also a big athlete. He's got both. These guys

1529
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: have been to a Super Bowl. Joe Flacco one it,

1530
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Cam Newton lost it. Um, But I think Cam Newton

1531
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: still has more gas athletically left in the tank, and

1532
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I think he's has a better upside at this point.

1533
01:18:58,040 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: I do too Cam Newton. I mean there's a five

1534
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: year age difference between the two of them, right, Cam

1535
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Newton was was Was he the first overall pick? He

1536
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: was the year? Yes? Twenty eleven. Yes, he's a better athlete,

1537
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: a better candidate I think to be signing first. He's

1538
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,799
Speaker 1: thirty years old. Joe Flacco's thirty five. Big difference, big difference.

1539
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is an old thirty five? Do you agree? Yeah?

1540
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: He looked like he was thirty five when he was

1541
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. Yeah, I mean he had that kind of

1542
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't run well. He's not an athlete.

1543
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: He's kind of big, stiffy, you know. He's standing in

1544
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,879
Speaker 1: the pocket back there like a scarecrow kind of guy.

1545
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though, when Joe Flacco through, he

1546
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: could spin it. That guy had a big arm a

1547
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 1: very big and a very accurate army and unt. If

1548
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: he has it anymore, yeah, I don't know if he's

1549
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: got that anymore. He failed the physical in Denver. I

1550
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: don't know how you know good a Joe version of

1551
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco you'll get. I think if you get Cam

1552
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: Newton on the field, you'll get a pretty good version

1553
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton. We're playing Once for Lunch. It's the

1554
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 1: quarterback edition of What's for Lunch? This is a good one. Also,

1555
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: which rookie quarterback has the best chance to play this year?

1556
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: Would you say Justin Herbert or the Chargers first round pick?

1557
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: Would you say Ta Tago via Ba Looa of the

1558
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, Or would you say Jordan Love of the Packers.

1559
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: They are all three first round picks. Which rookie quarterback

1560
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: as the best chance to play in twenty twenty. Good question.

1561
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll have to reverse engineer this. The one that's least

1562
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: likely to play is Jordan Love of the Packers. Ain't

1563
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: going Aaron Rodgers, Ain't going anywhere. Now you've got You've

1564
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: got Tyrod Taylor for the Chargers and Fitzpatrick for the Dolphins.

1565
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Which young quarterback would probably I think they'll both play right,

1566
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: But I think justin Ah. I would say Justin Herbert

1567
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: if that's where you're going. Yeah, I thought I might

1568
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: say Justin Herbert because I think he'll look better in

1569
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 1: comparison with Tyroda. And I think that's what does it

1570
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: now we make You may sit that fits down because

1571
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: he throws the bad interception or has my game. But

1572
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: I think Tyrod is a guy that's get will frustrate

1573
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: a coaching staff at the point where they're gonna put

1574
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert in. You know, here's the thing. One of

1575
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the things in this question we know here, you and

1576
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: I Bills fans know a little bit about Ryan Fitzpatrick

1577
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and a little bit about Tyrod Taylor. You're right about

1578
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: the frustration part. Tyrod Taylor will be plugging along. The

1579
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: Chargers will be plugging along and they'll just say, man,

1580
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: we need more out of our passing game. We're not

1581
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: getting it. The guy won't take chances. Yeah, they'ven't throw interceptions,

1582
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: but we're not getting anything out of our passing game.

1583
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: I think that will be the reason why. I think

1584
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: that will be. And and let me say this, there

1585
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: is pressure on Tom Tolesco and on Anthony Lynn to

1586
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: win this year, and that could hasten a quarterback change.

1587
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: I think I think Justin Herberts has a bigger chance

1588
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 1: to play this year than two of I think, ta,

1589
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: he's got the injury questions. And again, like you, I'm

1590
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 1: putting Jordan's love to the side. I think Justin Herberts

1591
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: is the right answer here. I think the pressure is

1592
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: on the higher ups in LA more so than that

1593
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: it is in Miami. Right. I think Miami, listen, we're rebuilding.

1594
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: Let's give two a chance to catch his breath. In LA,

1595
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, let's go. You know, let's win. You

1596
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 1: guys are sitting around. You couldn't win with the Philip Rivers.

1597
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: You better win with this guy, right. I think the

1598
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: pressures on in LA for the Chargers because you know

1599
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: their roster is quite frankly, much more established and better.

1600
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I think one more quarterback question today on the What's

1601
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: for Lunch already New Orleans. If Drew Brees goes down,

1602
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: who starts the next game? Jamis Winston or Taysom Hill.

1603
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: M Wow, they like Taysom Hill a lot. I look

1604
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 1: at Taysom Hill as more of a kind of a

1605
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: curiosity piece at quarterback. I think you could probably if

1606
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: you had. I'm not talking about who's gonna finish a game,

1607
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: because then it might be Taysom Hill. I mean, they

1608
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: might not have three quarterbacks active on game day, but

1609
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 1: if they're looking for a one week starter or a

1610
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: two week starter, I wouldn't be surprised if they go

1611
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: with Jamis Winston, give him a strong game plan. Say

1612
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: you know those thirty interests through last year. I don't

1613
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: want to see one of them today, But I think

1614
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: you Damis Winston as opposed. I think so too. Taysom

1615
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: Hill is a good players. He's you know, he can

1616
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: do some things, but I don't know. I don't think

1617
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: he is a quarterback you go into a game with. Now,

1618
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 1: he'll finish the game, like you said, or he may

1619
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:21,800
Speaker 1: be a guy if Jamis Winston wasn't in the And

1620
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: I thought this right when he said it. If it's

1621
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of the season, maybe Taysom Hill

1622
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: does start, you know. But if Jamis Winston's got a

1623
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 1: full preseason under his belt and it's the second half

1624
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: of the season and he's you know, hung around now,

1625
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of it under his belt, there's

1626
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: no doubt it's Jamis Winston. The only reason I think

1627
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill plays ahead of Jamis Winston with a week

1628
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: to prepare if Drew Breeze goes down is because they

1629
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 1: don't believe Jamis has got enough of the offense under

1630
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: his belt. It's too early in the season. Otherwise, it's

1631
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston all day. All right, there you go the

1632
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: quarterback edition of What's for Lunch? That was okay, wasn't

1633
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: this team. I'm not a big fan of What's for

1634
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Lunch on the first time I'm on the menu, you know,

1635
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the appetizers a little bit iffy with leaving the Patriots

1636
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 1: off the vulnerable division champions test, but everything filled into

1637
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: everything else. Yes, that's good. All right, We're gonna take

1638
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 1: a break and then we're coming back. Hey, What do

01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: be good. In the mean time, we're ready to talk

1655
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: with you. Eight oh three five fifty toll three one

1656
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What do

Speaker 1: you want to see in the Bills twenty twenty schedule?

1658
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: Is there a particular thing you're looking for? Is it

1659
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: primetime games opening the home? Fewer December home games. Reports

1660
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: today that the Jets and Bills will oupen up the season.

1661
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: I would think Sunday, September thirteenth at home. Nothing confirmed.

1662
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:22,759
Speaker 1: Seven thirty will be the official release of the schedule

1663
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,799
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Let's go to the tweet cheap prodcay

1664
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems. The official movers are the Buffalo

1665
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,759
Speaker 1: Bills from Matt The only way to get media attention

1666
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 1: is primetime games for a small market. Of course, winning

1667
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: them helps, but it's an opportunity to be seen by

1668
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: the nation. A lot of attention we've been getting is

1669
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: do Turkey Day last year and a couple of flex games. Huh?

1670
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: A couple of flex games? One Flex game last year out?

1671
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: Is that the only way to get media attention. I'm

1672
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: not saying it isn't. I'm just thinking about it. No,

1673
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: you gotta be on primetime to get media attention. I

1674
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: don't know why you get media. The way you get

1675
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: media attention is to win and win a lot. That's it.

1676
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: And they win consistently. Will happen if they get off

1677
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 1: to another great start this year? Have a kind of

1678
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the same season they had last year or even better

1679
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,759
Speaker 1: in some ways, does start to be on the radar

1680
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,600
Speaker 1: as a really good team, and you'll be one of

1681
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: those teams that people look for regularly. That's just the

1682
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,839
Speaker 1: way it is. You win, that's how you catch attention

1683
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: the eye. And the Bills have started to do that

1684
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: h two out of the last three years, and they're

1685
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And that's what it takes, consistently being

1686
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: in contition contention. So yeah, they'll get it when they

1687
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: deserve it, but it takes consistency year over year to

1688
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: earn it. Yeah. Do we care about media attention? I

1689
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: know that's some people do. I don't. I mean, I

1690
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: guess if you're winning, it comes. You'll get attention when

1691
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: you're win, right, exactly exactly. You don't get one without

1692
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: the other unless you're the Cowboys. Yeah. This is from

1693
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: the tweet Geet Jeremy Orbanski says, here's another schedule leak.

1694
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: The Bill's final game will be played in Temp Bay

1695
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 1: on February seventh, a Super Bowl Sunday. That's pretty funny. Yeah,

1696
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: there you go, that's pretty funny. Sipping the kool aid

1697
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 1: has this on the tweet sheet. Other Personally, I just

1698
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: want them to be a season for once we have

1699
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 1: a killer roster and a good chance to win it all.

1700
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: It would be Buffalo luck to have that opportunity taken

1701
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,799
Speaker 1: away from all of us due to a canceled season.

1702
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: I waited too many years for this chance. Could I

1703
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: agree that? Would? I just people aren't gonna like this, Steve,

1704
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means Buffalo luck. Are we

1705
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: saying we're we always get the short end of the stick. No,

1706
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,879
Speaker 1: that's not true. They lost for didn't make the playoffs

1707
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: for seventeen years. That wasn't luck. That was on merit.

1708
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:43,759
Speaker 1: They were not good for that long. What does Buffalo

1709
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 1: luck mean? Yeah, I get it. I mean I think

1710
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 1: it's people like to. People like to. We talked about

1711
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 1: the underdog mentality and the favorite mentality Buffalo likes to

1712
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: trump at the fact that it is never you know it.

1713
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: They're always the underdog and everything, let alone sports. So

1714
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this the other day too, that people

1715
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: what a year to have a great roster in a

1716
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: year where the season's bagged, right, it would be awful.

1717
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: I agree with that contention. That would be awful, But

1718
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a Buffalo thing. Oh, once again,

1719
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo luck. We have a great team. One thing. Only

1720
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo would have that luck because they're the team that

1721
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: has had the seventeen year playoff drought and hasn't won

1722
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: a playoff game in twenty five years. That that would luck.

1723
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: That would no, no, but it would be. It would

1724
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 1: be luck to have yourself get out of that only

1725
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: in the year when you can't prove it. That's luck.

1726
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: It's not luck missing the playoffs for seventeen years and

1727
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: not winning a playoff game for twenty five years, that

1728
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: they know that. It's the other way getting out of

1729
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: it and being good enough to prove you're one of

1730
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 1: the great teams, and then having everything go south on

1731
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: you after the year, after you've been horrible for however

1732
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,799
Speaker 1: many years you want to say uh, and then finally

1733
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 1: getting to the point where you're gonna you're like the

1734
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 1: team people are talking about and there's no Buffalo luck. Well,

1735
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 1: it would be this year. But it's not just worth.

1736
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 1: That's just thing. When people say, oh, typical, that'd be

1737
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: great Buffalo, you're you're referring back to something that's happened

1738
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: in the past. I don't see what's happened in the past.

1739
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: That's been a condition of bad luck that only takes

1740
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: place in Buffalo. Missing the playoffs seventeen years and not

1741
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 1: winning the playoff game in many years. That's not lucky.

1742
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: They were that bad for a long time. That's not luck.

1743
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah you agree, I agree with you. Oh yeah, I

1744
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 1: don't say Buffalo luck. Steve, please don't say I didn't.

1745
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, don't sip sipping the koola did that's wish.

1746
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 1: I'm surprised from sipping the koula. He's have to sipping enough.

1747
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: Usually an optimist, but not today. All right, we're gonna

1771
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,880

1772
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:04,840

1773
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,240

1774
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,880

1775

1779

Speaker 1: they have not shut the door, but it's not considered

Speaker 1: also her Any thoughts on the schedule coming up tonight?

1803
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you anticipate Steve was saying and he might be

1804
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: accurate about this, We're gonna get some clues what the

1805
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: NFL thinks about its chances of playing a full season

1806
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 1: based on what the schedules look like tonight. You agree,

1807
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I think so. I'm very interested to see what contingency

1808
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 1: plans are kind of baked into the schedule. We heard

1809
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: this report yesterday that it was going to be all

1810
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: non conference games in the first four weeks, and that's

1811
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,440
Speaker 1: not It doesn't appear that's true based on subsequent reports.

1812
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: But that kind of made sense to me, even though

1813
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 1: it was in accurate. I was like, oh, that the

1814
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: NFL should have thought of this, because I don't know

1815
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: exactly how they're going to go about this. If let's

1816
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 1: say you got to move the schedule back a month,

1817
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have in that first month you're

1818
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 1: gonna be rescheduling divisional games, non divisional games, and conference games.

1819
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,559
Speaker 1: How do you get this all into the schedule and

1820
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: still have it be balanced and bears to be I

1821
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what, you know, how they

1822
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: plan to go about this. I think that, you know,

1823
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 1: I hope anyways, that they're not being a little too optimistic,

1824
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 1: you know, any just thinking oh, we'll be fine by

1825
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 1: September tenth. I think that they really do need to

1826
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 1: have some significant and plans in place to figure out, Okay,

1827
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 1: like if we have to go twelve games, how are

1828
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 1: we going to do this and make it fair? Not

1829
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: doing this on a fly. So we'll see. I don't

1830
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: know that it's all going to be revealed tonight. I

1831
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be very interesting though, to see if

1832
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 1: they're stuff baked into the schedule that they can make

1833
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: some easy changes. We're all fairly familiar with the parameters

1834
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:09,919
Speaker 1: that they work within, like where the out of conference

1835
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 1: division comes from, how many in conference out of division games.

1836
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: Each team has a lot of the parameters that make

1837
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 1: the schedule kind of you know, forthcoming or of it evident.

1838
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 1: We know who the teams are going to play a

1839
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 1: year in advance, we just don't known when and where how,

1840
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 1: But it is difficult once they set to schedule to

1841
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 1: move games because of the availability of the venues, travel

1842
01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:40,639
Speaker 1: and other another considerations as well. So it seemed likely

1843
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: that the team would just lop off games. But wouldn't

1844
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 1: it be easy if they had this available and they

1845
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,599
Speaker 1: knew it was coming to make a completely separate fourteen

1846
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: game season and a completely separate twelve game season without

1847
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 1: coming back and just saying lopping off to They've got

1848
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: the staff. I know they work on this, you know

1849
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot, But couldn't they just come up with completely

1850
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 1: different twelve and fourteen game schedules as well. That's really

1851
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,639
Speaker 1: interesting and I almost think now they hear you say it, yeah,

1852
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. I mean, just to

1853
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 1: redo it, let's say, okay, now we know we need

1854
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 1: twelve games where we here's the schedule we have for

1855
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: twelve games. And I agree with you that the schedule

1856
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 1: making is is kind of I don't want to say difficult,

1857
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: but it's complicated. They have to take in a lot

1858
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,519
Speaker 1: of things through account, Like you said, venues and you

1859
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: know what cities are had a miss event, and maybe

1860
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's not even applicable this year. I really, you know,

1861
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: we don't know, but yeah, I mean I think that

1862
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, they have all summer I guess to figure

1863
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: this out. But maybe that's the way. It's such a

1864
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 1: unique thing as we've never tellt with this before. We

1865
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,759
Speaker 1: never you know, been through a time like this before.

1866
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 1: So I think everything should be on the table and

1867
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,759
Speaker 1: they should be you know, very open to any ideas

1868
01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: that come about because it's you know it think are

1869
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: going to change. I can't imagine that all seventeen weeks

1870
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 1: played exactly as they think they will, and we'll see

1871
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 1: what adjustments they do need to make. How about this, Frank,

1872
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 1: as long as we're thrown out proposals, how about that

1873
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 1: you know each team gets four games out of conference.

1874
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 1: How about this just a block of games, maybe a

1875
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: four weeks man somewhere in the middle of the season,

1876
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 1: end of the season, and if they can only play twelve,

1877
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: then they just remove that block from the schedule. That

1878
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: would work, right, I think that's the easiest way. I mean,

1879
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,600
Speaker 1: if there's one thing you're going to dump, it's you know,

1880
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 1: if you've got a lop off four games, okay, well

1881
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 1: there it is the non conference games, because that it's

1882
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of it's just the same for everybody. It's symmetrical.

1883
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 1: That's everybody's dealing with the same thing, and you're not

1884
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: having like, oh, well, this team played you know, three

1885
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: games against the AC West and this team played one

1886
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: game against the AC West. No. No, everything would just

1887
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 1: be kind of uniform at that point. So I think

1888
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: that's the best way. The one thing I have you know,

1889
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: heard read and I think it probably will come to pass,

1890
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: is that there's gonna be one week where every team

1891
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 1: has an opponent who has the same bye week, so

1892
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:08,599
Speaker 1: that if they need to get rid of the bye week,

1893
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 1: it's very seamless. You just throw that those games into

1894
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 1: the later into the season without it, because they've all

1895
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: lost the buyas. So it's it's it's such a complicated

1896
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: thing in a normal year to come up with the schedule.

1897
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 1: It's really a challenge from this year and there they

1898
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 1: better be ready because you know, you hate to see

1899
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 1: the NFL scrambling in August or September because they were

1900
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: too optimistic about this thing. We've spent a lot of

1901
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 1: time in the last few days reminiscing or actually and

1902
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: also predicting about prime time games, and it usually is

1903
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: tradition that the Super Bowl chance in this case, the

1904
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs would start the season. Any ideas about maybe what

1905
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: matchup on their schedule they play the AFC East in conference,

1906
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: what kind of matchup would you look for for the

1907
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs to open up the regular season? Right? And there's

1908
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: two that really jump off the page, and that's they

1909
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 1: have the Patriots and Texans among their home opponents. And

1910
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 1: the Texans is obvious Deshaun wattson there. They are defending,

1911
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 1: you know, a division champion. They're an interesting team because

1912
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins trade and all that kind of stuff. So

1913
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that that fits really well. And it's a

1914
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:20,240
Speaker 1: playoff rematch. And I had a Patriots. Look, I know

1915
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 1: they're not going to be maybe the great Patriots were

1916
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: used to, but they're still very very interesting. Maybe, you know,

1917
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna want to

1918
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 1: be tuning in the seat. Who's this Jared Stivham guy?

1919
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: Why is he the game apparent? To Tom Brady, So

1920
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: I think that that that will be a great matchup,

1921
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 1: or you know, I think the NFL also like they

1922
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 1: try to balance this thing where they say, we could

1923
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 1: put the Kansas City Chiefs against literally anybody on the

1924
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 1: first day of the season and people are gonna watch.

1925
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna get fifteen million viewers just because it's the

1926
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:51,759
Speaker 1: first game. So do we give them a Caroline at Lanta?

1927
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Those are the two NFC teams on their schedule, just

1928
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 1: figuring that Caroline, Uh Kansas City game Week seven is

1929
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: not a big draw, but it would be an opening night.

1930
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 1: So I think if I had to make a guess,

1931
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Houston. I would like to see

1932
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots just because I think are very very compelling team,

1933
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: but I think that it will probably end up with Houston,

1934
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:18,400
Speaker 1: just to play up Watson Holmes rivalry. We're on the

1935
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 1: line with Frank schwab of we are sorry about that.

1936
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: It's Frank. I'd a little technical glitch here. You gave

1937
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 1: a opening an offseason for the Buffalo Bills of an

1938
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 1: a minus. The Bills certainly have done some things to

1939
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:37,680
Speaker 1: put them on the on the map nationally. What do

1940
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: you think are some of the great things that the

1941
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,639
Speaker 1: Bills did. Can you kind of rank obviously, the Steph

1942
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,120
Speaker 1: Diggs trade, some of the free agents they signed the draft.

1943
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: Could you rank those in order of the importance you

1944
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: think they are and the effect you think they'll have

1945
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:53,920
Speaker 1: on this season. Yeah, and I think that they've they've

1946
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: gone about a lot of people weren't thrilled with the

1947
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 1: Diggs trade, but I loved it because I look at

1948
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 1: the this way, you know, the Minnesota Vikings with that pick.

1949
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: I believe they got Justin Jefferson with that pick. I

1950
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 1: think that's what it ended up with. I would rather

1951
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: if I'm the Buffalo Bills and I'm looking at the

1952
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 1: Patriots and I'm saying, this is theer to pounce, this

1953
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: is the window is wide open. The Bills are probably

1954
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 1: asc East favorites right now, as crazy as itself after

1955
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 1: the last dozen years of Patriot's dominance. I think the

1956
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 1: Bills being aggressive, saying, look, we got to do this

1957
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: right now. We can't. Justin Jefferson might be a great player,

1958
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 1: but we want the short thing hard to get a

1959
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 1: number one receiver. So for them to we're overpaid for stuff.

1960
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 1: To my dad, they overpaid for them a little bit,

1961
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: I think, but I still thought it was fine because

1962
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 1: of where they are as a team and their goals

1963
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,759
Speaker 1: for this year and the fact that you can finally

1964
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 1: win the AFC East. I really like that. And then

1965
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: some of the other one look, it was a lot

1966
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 1: of like smart depth, some of their etch guys, Moss

1967
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: coming in to be kind of like a little bit

1968
01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: of a younger, higher upside, you know, uh compliment into

1969
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I thought that they just made really really

1970
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,520
Speaker 1: smart moves to not they did. They didn't go overboard

1971
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: like the Rams a couple of years ago with the

1972
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 1: all in moves, but they made one big, strong move

1973
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 1: for the one thing they needed, a number one receiver,

1974
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 1: and then added a bunch of depth guys. Are gonna

1975
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: ship what they already have. Live with Frank Schwab Yahoo

1976
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: sports dot Com NFL writer, Hey Frank, you mentioned the

1977
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,639
Speaker 1: Patriots and the opportunity maybe the window is open. Are

1978
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots Buffalo's number one rivalry? Now? Are the Jets

1979
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: a decent rivalry? And you've you've thought about this little

1980
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: bit the rivalries that exist in the NFL. Um Who

1981
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: are the Bills biggest rivals, And what's the best rivalry

1982
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: you think in the AFC East. You know, I think

1983
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 1: it's got to be it's just everybody in the Patriots.

1984
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,719
Speaker 1: Because if the Bills deep the Jets, let's say, okay,

1985
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: that's great, that's fine, But I don't think the people

1986
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: there are going to get as excited about that game

1987
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 1: as they will against the Patriots. I think this weird situation,

1988
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 1: this you know, historic situation where the Patriots and just

1989
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: overlorded over the AFC East for legitimately two decades now,

1990
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: just they have to be everybody's top rival because everybody's

1991
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: getting up for them. It's it's you want to knock

1992
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 1: off the Patriots. That's the getting a circle right away

1993
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: when the schedule comes out and you know the Bills

1994
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 1: a got great games. Goes the Jets and Dolphins too,

1995
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they want to beat them, but it's

1996
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: not it ain't like the Patriots. The Patriots are front

1997
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: and center, the one team that the Bills to climb

1998
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: that model and you got to beat the Patriots, and

1999
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: I know they came close twice last year. Actually, both

2000
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 1: teams are a lot closer than I remembered. I rewatched

2001
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 1: him recently, and it's you're gonna knock on that door.

2002
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 1: If you're gonna knock down that door, you gotta beat

2003
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. And it doesn't matter if you

2004
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: beat the Jets and Dolphins, the Patriots or public Enemy

2005
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 1: Number one? Is there any rivalry in the NFL that

2006
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 1: you cannot get enough of? You know, I've always been

2007
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,880
Speaker 1: a big you know, the Bear's Packers guy because I'm

2008
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, so I know what that means like. And

2009
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: I was just talking about this week, me and Charles

2010
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: Robbins and my colleague where we did a video and

2011
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: talking about the NFL's dusk rivalry, and I said, Packers Bears,

2012
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 1: because it's it's permanent. The Bears and Packers will always

2013
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: hate each other because the people in Illinoie the people

2014
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 1: Wisconsin ate each other. So let you go, it's not

2015
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:23,080
Speaker 1: just one of these kind of the forty nine Ers

2016
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 1: and Seahawks. Yeah, one are both good. It's a great rivalry,

2017
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 1: but whether one of them is not good, it doesn't

2018
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 1: really matter that much. Bears Packers matters. It mattered in

2019
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty, it mattered in nineteen eighty, It matters in

2020
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:36,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty. It's going to matter in two

2021
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: thousand and forty. So that's my pick. I've always thought

2022
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:42,719
Speaker 1: that that's the one that comes closest to a college rivalry.

2023
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 1: It feels more like Alabama Auburn than those Patriots. Frank

2024
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: Swam from Yahoo sports dot Com is our guests. Hey, Frank,

2025
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: Commissioner good downside a memo to thirty two teams yesterday.

2026
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 1: I believe about sort of outlining the process for you know,

2027
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: getting reopened, bringing players back. Steve and I talking about this.

2028
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:04,080
Speaker 1: I believe I read somewhere where the league has sort

2029
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 1: of relaxed it. You know, when when everything shut down

2030
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,240
Speaker 1: in March, they were adamant that no team will be

2031
01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 1: open unless all teams could be open. I think they've

2032
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: relaxed that a little bit now, right They because of

2033
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 1: different localities, in different situations. In these localities, some even

2034
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 1: if it's a competitive disadvantage for some, some teams may

2035
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 1: be able to open a little bit earlier than others, Right,

2036
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Am I have that? Right? What do you think? I

2037
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to do this. I think

2038
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 1: that right now they're just kind of putting everything in

2039
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: a place now so they can act later, so they're

2040
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,880
Speaker 1: not doing this all at once. They can you know, hey,

2041
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: give us your contingency, give us your plans on reopening,

2042
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 1: give us you know how your protocols are going to be.

2043
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 1: And so when it comes time when they can make

2044
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,600
Speaker 1: a decision on it, they have each team's plan and

2045
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 1: they've gone over all this. I just think it's it's

2046
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 1: looking ahead that way. I just can't perceive them letting

2047
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, let's say, let's talk about the AC So

2048
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. So the Patriots don't open

2049
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: and Dolphins don't open, but the Jets and Bills do.

2050
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: You're getting a huge edge to those two teams. I

2051
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 1: don't care. That's a very very big difference. So I

2052
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I just it's such a weird time. But

2053
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 1: I think the NFL has been very cognizant of keeping

2054
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 1: everything on an even playing field and not giving any teams,

2055
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, the advantages over the others. So I truly,

2056
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, don't think I think

2057
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:31,880
Speaker 1: all thirty two are going to open at the same

2058
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 1: time or close to each other. Maybe there's a few

2059
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 1: days laughs or whatever, but I can't imagine, like I said,

2060
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 1: the Bills and Jets opening up, and a month later,

2061
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and Patriots still haven't opened. I just don't

2062
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: think that that would be fair to fair to those teams.

2063
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I did, maybe I think

2064
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,680
Speaker 1: I read it in Peter King earlier this week. I

2065
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 1: think teams are sort of accepting the fact that unusual circumstances,

2066
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:58,759
Speaker 1: there's going to have to be some competitive disadvantages somewhere.

2067
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe not to a great extent, but I think teams

2068
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: are ready to accept that, don't you. I guess, and

2069
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to have to. I think

2070
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: there will be things in this season, assuming we get

2071
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:12,720
Speaker 1: a season, that are just fundamentally unfair, and you're going

2072
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 1: to have to eat it. And I think the biggest

2073
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: thing to me is what happens. You know, these governors

2074
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: have been saying, especially in Newsom out in California, we're

2075
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:24,600
Speaker 1: not gonna have games. What if we get to September

2076
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 1: and the Gavin Newsom says, California is not even an

2077
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: empty stadiums. We're just not going to have games. But

2078
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:35,120
Speaker 1: the other states do whatever? Do you really set up

2079
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,720
Speaker 1: forty nine ers on the road for sixteen games? Well,

2080
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: how do you do that? How does that even how

2081
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: does that even start to happen? Or you know, the

2082
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: Rams and Chargers they go on the roads for sixteen games,

2083
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: how do you and how do you make sure one

2084
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 1: team is not having twelve home games? Who? Who host

2085
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 1: all these teams? I think there's just so many moving

2086
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: parts here. Somebody's getting the short end of the stick.

2087
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Somebody's going to feel they got kind of, you know,

2088
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 1: cheated a little bit with all this, and they're just

2089
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 1: going to kind of have to eat it. They're just

2090
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 1: gonna have to, you know, shrugger shoulders and say, well, Okay,

2091
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: this was a weird year, and hopefully this doesn't happen again,

2092
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: because yes, I doubt there's going to be any way

2093
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 1: where this is all symmetrical and everybody's happy with how

2094
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: they were treated. Live with Frank Schwab Yahoo Sports dot

Speaker 1: Com NFL writer and let me move around the league

2096
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 1: a little bit. Frank. You wrote a recent piece about

2097
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: the why a player in kind of the prime of

2098
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,719
Speaker 1: his career might step away from the game. We seem

2099
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:33,920
Speaker 1: to have seen that a couple of times happen, and

2100
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: you interviewed Patrick Willis, who explained why he walked away

2101
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: in his prime? What did you learn from that? What

2102
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:43,000
Speaker 1: did Willis tell you? I thought he was great because

2103
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, some of you guys just say there's a

2104
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 1: few trads of that's the Steve knows this better than me.

2105
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:52,719
Speaker 1: But it's one of those where it's players either say

2106
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to play the wheels fall off and they don't,

2107
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: you know, bring me back, and that's fine. That's our profession,

2108
01:47:57,920 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 1: and you want to make as much funny you can.

2109
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 1: Are other players who just say, well, I get injured,

2110
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:05,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't play anymore. In Patrick's case, yeah he could

2111
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: deal with you know, some foot injuries, but it was

2112
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 1: mostly him saying you know, he even as a rookie,

2113
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 1: he was saying, I'm gonna get out of this game

2114
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:16,799
Speaker 1: when I can get and I'm gonna get out, and

2115
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 1: you know, once I don't have that passion to play

2116
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 1: every single day anymore, and then I'm gonna know what

2117
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 1: it's done and I'm not gonna stick around to collect checks.

2118
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna let somebody else have this opportunity.

2119
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: It was really refreshing, and I think more guys are

2120
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna think that way of this not being a I'm

2121
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna play till the wheels fall off type of career. Well, well,

2122
01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, hey, anybody who does that, I have no

2123
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 1: problem with that at all. But I think a lot

2124
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:39,600
Speaker 1: of guys coming into the league are gonna have a

2125
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: plan ahead of time to say i'm gonna get my

2126
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 1: five years, I'm gonna get to my signing contract, I'm

2127
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna get whatever it is, and then they're just gonna

2128
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: walk away even if they have years left to play,

2129
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: because this game choose you up pretty quickly, and you know,

2130
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: guys who are really really struggling at the end of

2131
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 1: their at the end of their lives, it's it takes

2132
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: a poll, and I think everybody's much more are aware

2133
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 1: of that, and they're going to plan accordingly. I would

2134
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:04,800
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think we're going to see it

2135
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 1: more and more. Andrew Luck to be an example, Patrick

2136
01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:09,639
Speaker 1: Willis to be an example. And I think the more

2137
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 1: guys that you know, kind of hit a home run

2138
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 1: with one contract, see the end of it, are just saying,

2139
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm good. It is a really demanding

2140
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 1: physical game, and a lot of guys realize at some

2141
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 1: point during their career, I'm just not the same player

2142
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: I was. I don't feel about the game the way

2143
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: I did, and my life will be pretty good if

2144
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 1: I walked away right now, and I'm going to do it.

2145
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:34,639
Speaker 1: I think it would become more common as we move

2146
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 1: into the future, with or without coronavirus. I think Patrick

2147
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 1: Willis Andrew Luck are just two guys who are examples

2148
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 1: of a growing population. Do you think it is that

2149
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: that prevalent, Frank, I don't. I don't know if it's

2150
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: ever going to become like dozens and dozens of guys

2151
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 1: because people want to play, and again, this is their

2152
01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 1: their career and it doesn't last long. And from this

2153
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: guys anyway, not at all. But most guys, you're never

2154
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna make a salary like this. Again, this is your

2155
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 1: chance to set up your family for a really really

2156
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: long time and yourself for a really really long time.

2157
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 1: And I get it. But there are you know, guys

2158
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: who are gonna do that. And you could speak better

2159
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 1: than me, but I know this from covertly for twenty years.

2160
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: We like to think of the NFL's this kind of

2161
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 1: fairytale world, right like this is it's almost like a

2162
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 1: movie to some people where you know the stars of

2163
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:23,439
Speaker 1: the movie are there on Sundays, but they don't see

2164
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: what happens Monday when you can't get out of bed

2165
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: and Wednesday when you're you're just stressed about your job

2166
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:30,639
Speaker 1: and you know how how am I going to get

2167
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,680
Speaker 1: through the week? And or the offseason when you know

2168
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: the team has just drafted two receivers and now you

2169
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: got to fight for your roster spot, not knowing if

2170
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna get any paychecks other than the couple hundred

2171
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 1: a week you get in my preseason. It is a stressful,

2172
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 1: stressful job physically and mentally. It is. It is a

2173
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 1: job that at the same complaints you have about your

2174
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 1: job at home and of other players have about theirs,

2175
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 1: it is not. It is a world that it's not

2176
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 1: at the fantasy we like it to be at. I'm

2177
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:03,000
Speaker 1: sure it's great on Sundays. I'm sure nothing replaces running

2178
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:05,439
Speaker 1: out in front of rich Stadium in front of all

2179
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 1: those fans, or playing a big playoff game or stuff

2180
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 1: like that. But the stuff that happens, the meetings, the practices,

2181
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:15,840
Speaker 1: the pain, calling shots, the surgeries, these are things that

2182
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 1: aren't fun. And I can see why guys would more

2183
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: likely to be Hey, I got I got my big

2184
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,720
Speaker 1: contract to save my money. I did well with it.

2185
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm willing to walk away and you can go to

2186
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 1: the next phase of my life because, yeah, it's a

2187
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,120
Speaker 1: great it's a great living. It's a very fun atmosphere

2188
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: on Sundays, I'm sure. But as you don't, you know,

2189
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 1: you got your whole life to live and there are

2190
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 1: things that if you stick around too long, it's going

2191
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 1: to impact you later on we were I'd be remiss

2192
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 1: if I didn't ask you this question about this week,

2193
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:49,760
Speaker 1: we all as the NFL had to say goodbye to

2194
01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 1: Don Sholey passed away, winning his head coach in his career.

2195
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:56,840
Speaker 1: It was twenty five years ago that he quit. That

2196
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 1: he retired, but he still had a huge legacy that

2197
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 1: they left behind. What are your thoughts on the passing

2198
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 1: of Don Shula and how will you remember him? Yeah,

2199
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing that always has stuck

2200
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: out to me about Don Shula, and I wrote about

2201
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 1: this Monday when he passed away, was that he's I

2202
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:16,400
Speaker 1: respect coaches who say I don't have a system. I'm

2203
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna take my players and know what they do best,

2204
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'm going to put them in positions to win,

2205
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 1: and Don Shulah won a Super Bowl with Bob Greasy

2206
01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:29,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three. Bob Greasy threw thirteen passes in

2207
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game in the Super Bowl and they

2208
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl. And then eleven years later, Dan

2209
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,280
Speaker 1: Marino till five thousand and eighty four yards or forty

2210
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,360
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and they go to the Super Bowl. If

2211
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't tell you how Don Shula was willing to

2212
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: adjust to the times, just for his players to say,

2213
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 1: I have Dan Marino, I'm not going to have him

2214
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:51,680
Speaker 1: handing the ball off forty times a game here this

2215
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 1: thing out. I think that that's the mark of how

2216
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 1: great he was. And there's so many things you could

2217
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:59,840
Speaker 1: say about Shulah that two losing seasons in thirty three years,

2218
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 1: never going to see that again. It's just all the

2219
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 1: wins you put up. I saw somebody say somebody who

2220
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 1: sixty and for twenty straight years will still be like

2221
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:10,680
Speaker 1: six wins Shorter Shoola or something like that. Just he

2222
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: had a remarkable, great career by all which house great man.

2223
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that I ever met him, I can't

2224
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: remember if I did it, but he just was one

2225
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,920
Speaker 1: of those guys who you know, there's there's five, six,

2226
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:22,400
Speaker 1: seven coaches in the league or are just better than

2227
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:24,200
Speaker 1: the game, and he was clearly one of them. Just

2228
01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: a remarkable, remarkable success story. Frank, can I ask you

2229
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: one more? Frank Schwab Yahoo Sports dot com. Yeah, I

2230
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 1: think you posted it two days ago. Everybody's watching Michael Jordan,

2231
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Last Dance On ESPN. You made a

2232
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 1: list of football documentaries, fifteen of them, the fifteen best

2233
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: documentaries ever presented about football. I'm surprised there's that many.

2234
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 1: There really have some pretty good movies about football stories,

2235
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:51,759
Speaker 1: aren't there? There really are, And I give it differently

2236
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: the movies. It is just documentaries. So I did have

2237
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 1: a tough cut with the Four Falls of Buffalo. I'll

2238
01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: tell you that that was a good one. I really

2239
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 1: did like that, and I'm one of my co workers

2240
01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: really stumped for it. But yeah, I've i've, I'm kind

2241
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 1: of I don't. That's what I do. I watch it

2242
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,440
Speaker 1: when I'm working at home. I watch old games or documentaries,

2243
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 1: and so I've seen just about every NFL documentary and

2244
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:14,680
Speaker 1: there's some were just great ones out there, and the

2245
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,559
Speaker 1: one I'd never seen before. I don't know if you

2246
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,560
Speaker 1: guys have is Undefeated about Manassa's High School and Memphis

2247
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of these kids come from really really

2248
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:26,120
Speaker 1: bad situations and they turned you know, they the team

2249
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 1: turned it around, had a great season. Just compelling. I've

2250

2255
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 1: I've stuck in the house so we all have time

2261
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 1: good documentary. They had Yeah and unfortune Kelly a big

2262
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,040

Speaker 1: just has so many different onefs in it. It's just

2267
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 1: so fascinating about what if the Raiders had pulled off

2268
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:22,280
Speaker 1: the trade they wanted to pull off. What if the

2269
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:25,440
Speaker 1: Chargers are traded damn silence? What if the Colts had

2270
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:28,000

01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 1: I never saw that one. And I've heard a lot

2290
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:24,840
Speaker 1: about the world of Sam Huff. The Violent World of

2291
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 1: Sam Huffs Huff nineteen sixty UM Show hosted by Walter Cronkite.

2292
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that. I don't have a full

2293
01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:34,600
Speaker 1: appreciation of how good Sam Huff was for those those

2294
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 1: old New York New York Giants teams. Do you see

2295
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, no, saf you met him? I'm sure right,

2296
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I have. I've been some spend some

2297
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 1: time in New York, and I don't even know even

2298
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 1: if he lives in New York. But no, he did

2299
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,360
Speaker 1: Redskins Radio for a long time. That's where I met him.

2300
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 1: He I don't think I have never Ah, you know what,

2301
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:54,400
Speaker 1: now that you mentioned the Redskins Radio, maybe I did.

2302
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that gets me about videos

2303
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 1: and documentaries about guys back in the sixties and seventies,

2304
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 1: like Sam Huffs and all the like the old Raiders

2305
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: Chief's rivalry was the brutality of the game yeah, you would.

2306
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: It's almost unrecognizable as football because of you know, the

2307
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 1: way it was played back then. And to say the

2308
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 1: foundation of you know, today's game, you're probably right. But

2309
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: just like the foundation of a house looks very different

2310
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 1: than the upper floors, that's how different the game is

2311
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 1: today than what it did, what it looked like. And

2312
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, five decades ago, six decades ago, it's unbelievable

2313
01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 1: how different and how far the game has come. And

2314
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 1: those old documentaries prove it. Yep, we think Frank Troub

01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: really And we said right at the top of the show.

2327
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 1: We don't know how many of these games get played.

2328
01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:26,160
Speaker 1: We don't know. If you pointed out, you don't know

2329
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 1: that the schedule will be the actual schedule. You're saying

2330
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 1: you think they might have a reworked twelve game schedule.

2331
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying, Steve? Yeah, I would I

2332
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:38,000
Speaker 1: if I crack the whip on those guys. You know

2333
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 1: they listen on the schedule makers. They listen. Guys, here's

2334
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 1: what we're gonna need. Two three schedules this year, one

2335
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 1: with sixteen, one with fourteen, one with twelve, and maybe

2336
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: even a ten game schedule. So make it happen. Yeah,

2337
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't hear, I don't parameters. Here's the parameters for

2338
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 1: the fifty sixteen. Here you know, the parameters for the sixteen.

2339
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:56,720
Speaker 1: Here's the parameters who want it changed for the fourteen.

2340
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 1: And here's how we wanted to look if it's a

2341
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:00,400
Speaker 1: twelve game, and you know, here's who they want we

2342
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: want the teams to play when we you know, go

2343
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: down the list. So yeah, I'm I'm of course, those

2344
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 1: guys that I worried about, they've had months to do this.

2345
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 1: It's not those guys that worry about. It's fans who

2346
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 1: need to make plans. Am I going? Am I traveling

2347
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 1: all those bills? Fans who want to go to Las

2348
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:20,600
Speaker 1: Vegas to see the Bills played the Las Vegas Raiders.

2349
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 1: Are you're gonna move that game from September to December?

2350
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean that would alter some plans some people money.

2351
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to do that. Nobody

2352
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 1: has made any plans yet. And if they're gonna make

2353
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: plans on this schedule there and with the with the

2354
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 1: league and maybe I don't know, if the league says, listen,

2355
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 1: these here's the thing. This is what's going to happen.

2356
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 1: Unless there is a you know, we can't play, and

2357
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 1: then we're gonna change the schedule and it may be

2358
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 1: completely different from one game through two. The plan is

2359
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 1: a totally new schedule. People will be smart enough or

2360
01:59:51,080 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 1: should be smart enough to say, listen, I'm holding off

2361
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: on making my plans. That's all. There's almost a question

2362
01:59:56,400 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 1: of smarts. It's a question of money. You're gonna give

2363
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: the right time to get decent tickets and to make

2364
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 1: their plans. I don't know. I'm just saying, you gotta

2365
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 1: have something you can't afford it, don't don't do it

2366
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: if you can't afford it, like anything, I mean, what

2367
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:12,120
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? No, I'm trying to know. I'm

2368
02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 1: not kidding yet. I'm I think there are some fans

2369
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 1: who WOULDNA, they're not gonna they're not gonna alters. Let

2370
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 1: me finish. There are some fans who would like to

2371
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:21,800
Speaker 1: know as soon as they can when these games will

2372
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: be so they can make plans or not make plans.

2373
02:00:24,040 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 1: If you wait until a month before then, you're not

2374
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 1: getting You're not holding enough the National Football League for

2375
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: a handful of fans who don't have the money to

2376
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:33,760
Speaker 1: pay for first class tickets. So the league's more important

2377
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:38,880
Speaker 1: than the absolutely not absolutely, way more important than fans

2378
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,480
Speaker 1: getting one road trip in for one team in the season. Yes,

2379
02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 1: that's right. I don't. Nobody cares about the Buffalo fans who,

2380
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 1: now because they change the schedule, can't afford to go

2381
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:52,960
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Nobody cares, Well, you don't. I think they should.

2382
02:00:53,200 --> 02:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Some people don't if it means getting twelve games in

2383
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 1: instead of fifteen or whatever. Six fans who can't go

2384
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: now because they changed they changed the Vegas weekend. It's

2385
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 1: more than six or whatever. It's one team out of

2386
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: thirty two on one week end of the season. There's

2387
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:14,880
Speaker 1: no more than that game. It's every team was playing

2388
02:01:14,920 --> 02:01:17,280
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. It's everything. Maybe people want to come

2389
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:20,520
Speaker 1: there in the name, you're talking about our game in Vegas.

2390
02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about the schedule, the entire schedule.

2391
02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I know. But people know it's up for grabs. It

2392
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 1: would be the same thing if they found out six

2393
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:32,840
Speaker 1: weeks in a van and they say, listen, oh, now

2394
02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 1: I can't go because it's on the wrong weekend, And

2395
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you're the earlier you can make that available

2396
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:41,600
Speaker 1: to the fans. The better off it is for fans,

2397
02:01:41,640 --> 02:01:43,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Course, but there's but nobody has

2398
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 1: any guarantees. You think the league has to guarantee that

2399
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:49,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, play on that weekend. At this point,

2400
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: nobody does. You're silly if you think you're gonna you're

2401
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna spend money now on a date in October. It's crazy.

2402
02:01:57,520 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, you gotta just gotta know that. I mean,

2403
02:01:59,720 --> 02:02:02,240
Speaker 1: fans just gotta know that you have no regard for

2404
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:06,560
Speaker 1: paying customers. That's the last couple of discussions we've had.

2405
02:02:06,600 --> 02:02:10,680
Speaker 1: You've made that pretty clear. No regard, you know, not,

2406
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 1: no regard. I have regard for the bulk of the fans,

2407
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:17,040
Speaker 1: not you have little regard for paying. I have no

2408
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 1: regard for fans who aren't smart enough to make proper decisions.

2409
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:25,240
Speaker 1: It's not smarts. Let's we got phone lines open eight

2410
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: three fifty to three one eight five fifty two five fifty.

2411
02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 1: What do you want to see in the Bills twenty

2412
02:02:31,040 --> 02:02:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty schedule? A couple of tweets on this from the

2413
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Corrigan tweet sheet, brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2414
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,360
Speaker 1: the official movies of the Buffalo Bills. Brian says, give

2415
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:41,960
Speaker 1: me more December home games. I can think of nothing

2416
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,879
Speaker 1: better than a prime time flexed home game in December

2417
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of a snowstorm, unless it's a home

2418
02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 1: snow game in January. Um, lay a minute. He wants

2419
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:53,520
Speaker 1: them in December, but not if they're playoff games. Is

2420
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 1: that the point? No, he that would be better to

2421
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:58,640
Speaker 1: have a home game in January, home snow game in January.

2422
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:00,840
Speaker 1: So I can think of nothing better unless it's a

2423
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:02,840
Speaker 1: home game in general. Oh, I got you, Yeah, I

2424
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:05,240
Speaker 1: got you home home playoff game. I get that. Yeah,

2425
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:08,640
Speaker 1: you're right, he there's a guy. I mean, there's always

2426
02:03:08,680 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 1: a people on both sides of the fence we talk about.

2427
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Help you. I don't want to go to a home

2428
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: game in December. It's too nasty out. I don't want

2429
02:03:14,720 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: to sit there. But then there's other people who are like, yeah,

2430
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,720
Speaker 1: that's what I love, right home field, all that stuff.

2431
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: I get it. There's people on both sides of those argument,

2432
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:26,360
Speaker 1: much like there are in the Vegas trips. What about

2433
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the Vegas trips, I'm saying you said six, I bet

2434
02:03:31,880 --> 02:03:33,880
Speaker 1: there's six hundred Buffalo people would want to go to

2435
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Vegas to see the game. There might be there might

2436
02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:39,320
Speaker 1: be talking about Buffalo fans who would go to Vegas.

2437
02:03:39,480 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 1: We're not talking about all of those. We're talking about

2438
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:44,520
Speaker 1: only the ones who couldn't make a change their schedule.

2439
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Why don't that kind of a break get them? Schule.

2440
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:51,320
Speaker 1: There's more than six there's sixty million. There's a million

2441
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo fans who would like to go to Vegas, but

2442
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:56,800
Speaker 1: for every reason under the sun, they don't or they can't.

2443
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 1: That's not the point of who wants to make the trip. Yeah,

2444
02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you have no consideration for people who might be up

2445
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:11,040
Speaker 1: against it. They're getting a Vegas trip from Jack. On

2446
02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, he votes other. I want to see

2447
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:16,280
Speaker 1: three primetime games with at least one at home. But

2448
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 1: I'd also really like to see a four pm home game.

2449
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time they had a four

2450
02:04:20,240 --> 02:04:22,400
Speaker 1: pm home game. I like the late games that can

2451
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,560
Speaker 1: get stuff done beforehand that I've never been to one.

2452
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody say that they'd like to have

2453
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: a home game at four pm. I don't know about that. Those. Yeah,

2454
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 1: the double head Er home game four pm, I think

2455
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 1: that kills a whole game. I don't know abou the

2456
02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:39,040
Speaker 1: whole day. I think it kills the whole day. Well, yeah,

2457
02:04:39,720 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a home game. You don't get

2458
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:44,480
Speaker 1: to watch the one o'clock games, that's for sure, right,

2459
02:04:45,040 --> 02:04:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you've gotta be you gotta be a one bill.

2460
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:49,480
Speaker 1: You gotta be at one Bill's drive, even if you're

2461
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:51,520
Speaker 1: not tailgating, you gotta be at one Bill's drive a

2462
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:54,800
Speaker 1: couple hours before the game. You're not seeing the one

2463
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:58,280
Speaker 1: o'clock games, right, So that's out. That blows all of

2464
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:01,600
Speaker 1: those games. If it's four o'clock game and you stay

2465
02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 1: till seven, and it takes you more than an hour

2466
02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 1: to get out of there and get home, you're gonna

2467
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: miss them Sunday night game or part of it anyway. Yeah,

2468
02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's to me. I'm kind of on

2469
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,200
Speaker 1: the other side of that argument. I don't like one

2470
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:19,200
Speaker 1: o'clock is what you want to do. It's easier to

2471
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 1: get up early and get over there than it is

2472
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: to like while away the hours or go over there

2473
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 1: and just hang out in the parking lot for an

2474
02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: extra three hours before the game, you know what I mean.

2475
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:32,520
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I don't. I do not agree with

2476
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Jack on that one. He wants to go four pm

2477
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:37,320
Speaker 1: game at home. I do not. I have a phone

2478
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,320
Speaker 1: call here, John in his car. Hello, John, you're on

2479
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 1: the air. Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Hey,

2480
02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:45,080
Speaker 1: this is probably the first time in my life I'm

2481
02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna agree with you and disagree with good because because Steve,

2482
02:05:51,040 --> 02:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I want to know tonight when I could book my

2483
02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Vegas trip, and then if they cancel it, I'm screwed.

2484
02:05:57,720 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Just for reasons of child hair work. You know, I

2485
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:03,920
Speaker 1: have to put in personal time for this. So I

2486
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know what you're even talking about changing the schedule

2487
02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:11,080
Speaker 1: as you don't care. Listen, I could afford the trip

2488
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: or else I want to take it, but I need

2489
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 1: to know when. Now I get it. The problem is

2490
02:06:19,320 --> 02:06:21,760
Speaker 1: when they put this schedule out and the NFL also,

2491
02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:25,000
Speaker 1: we don't know if we're actually going to be able

2492
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:27,200
Speaker 1: to play these games, and they give you that, and

2493
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 1: they shoot that across your bow and you go ahead

2494
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:34,040
Speaker 1: and spend the money that's on you. Yeah, but it's

2495
02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:37,000
Speaker 1: also I mean booking the trip in the timely fashion

2496
02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:40,919
Speaker 1: where airlines ain't gonna rape me for fees and charges

2497
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:43,560
Speaker 1: a month before, and I still have to try to

2498
02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:46,640
Speaker 1: get tickets. I don't have hookups like you. So I'm

2499
02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: not saying it's not I'm not saying it's not a problem.

2500
02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you got to know that going in

2501
02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:54,720
Speaker 1: before you make all these plans. You know it's a

2502
02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:58,040
Speaker 1: special year, it's a weird season. You know there's gonna

2503
02:06:58,040 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 1: be all kinds of problems with this edule, Or at

2504
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:03,720
Speaker 1: least we think there's there's a possibility that some of

2505
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:06,120
Speaker 1: these games may be moved, that some of these games

2506
02:07:06,200 --> 02:07:08,920
Speaker 1: may be canceled, that some of these games may be flexed,

2507
02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:14,000
Speaker 1: that some of these games may be whatever changed. So

2508
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: if you know that going in and you still put

2509
02:07:17,840 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 1: in for the time off and you still spend the money,

2510
02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:24,760
Speaker 1: you're rolling the dice. Steve, Steve, let me ask you

2511
02:07:24,880 --> 02:07:27,960
Speaker 1: a question on this. If you're just an average fan

2512
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:33,880
Speaker 1: without being Steve Tasker, and your trip got postponed or

2513
02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:37,000
Speaker 1: whatever because of this, but you planned it because the

2514
02:07:37,120 --> 02:07:39,640
Speaker 1: schedule came out, you want to be a little heated

2515
02:07:39,680 --> 02:07:43,360
Speaker 1: over this, putting in vacation time for work and trying

2516
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 1: to get your childcare all situated, and dogs, trying to

2517
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,680
Speaker 1: get your dogs boarded because you're going to be gone

2518
02:07:49,760 --> 02:07:52,000
Speaker 1: for four days. I get it. I'm right there with

2519
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I am the I know, dogs, dogcare, childcare, mail, picking

2520
02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 1: the mail, stopped, cleaning your house, vacuuming because you want

2521
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:04,320
Speaker 1: to come home to a nice clean house, getting your

2522
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:08,120
Speaker 1: laundry done, the important, washing the sheets, you know, painting

2523
02:08:08,160 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the mailbox. I get all of that. You got all

2524
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: this stuff on your list you gotta do before you

2525
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:14,640
Speaker 1: leave town, and you gotta spend the money on the tickets,

2526
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta take the time off. I

2527
02:08:17,760 --> 02:08:20,720
Speaker 1: get it. And you know this going in that it's

2528
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna be canceled. Well, you know that it might be canceled.

2529
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Whose fault is it the person who warned you that

2530
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,720
Speaker 1: it canceled? Or this is it? Whose fault is it

2531
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:32,720
Speaker 1: the person who warned you that it might be canceled?

2532
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Or the person who made the trip saying I'm doing

2533
02:08:35,120 --> 02:08:39,200
Speaker 1: it and I don't care. Nobody's fault. Talking to Steve

2534
02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Fleet because this guy, John, John? What am I missing? John?

2535
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,960
Speaker 1: What am I missing? Yeah? But they shouldn't cancel. What

2536
02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:50,160
Speaker 1: do you mean if the schedule comes out today and

2537
02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:53,919
Speaker 1: say they don't want it, John, They don't want to cancel.

2538
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 1: That's the last thing they want to do. They don't

2539
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 1: want to leave twenty five million dollars on the table,

2540
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: the TV rights. The last thing the league wants to

2541
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 1: do is canceled a game. But they told you they

2542
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 1: might have to. I'm not saying cancel, I'm saying maybe

2543
02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:14,640
Speaker 1: even move it. They can't move it once the schedules

2544
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:18,160
Speaker 1: in because you got people that fly out to every game,

2545
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:21,160
Speaker 1: or go to one game one big game a year. Well,

2546
02:09:21,320 --> 02:09:23,080
Speaker 1: this is my one big game of year is going

2547
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:25,560
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Last year I went to Nashville. I would

2548
02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 1: have been very disappointed. If for some reason it got

2549
02:09:28,600 --> 02:09:32,960
Speaker 1: postponed and then now you're basically saying, oh, boohoo boo

2550
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,080
Speaker 1: who this is what you can't Well, it's part of

2551
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:37,240
Speaker 1: the No, it's part of the plan. The part of

2552
02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:39,400
Speaker 1: the plan is oh it kindy is Wait a minute, John,

2553
02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:41,400
Speaker 1: it kindy is part of the plan because that's exactly

2554
02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:43,400
Speaker 1: what happened last year to the Pittsburgh game, and we

2555
02:09:43,480 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 1: had people complaining about it. You mean it happens every

2556
02:09:46,160 --> 02:09:48,880
Speaker 1: year and you're not aware of it or you just

2557
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:51,800
Speaker 1: are how long are you visiting Earth? No, but that's

2558
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 1: not a flex situation. This is the this is the

2559
02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:58,960
Speaker 1: ultimate flex situation. The whole season is up for grabs.

2560
02:09:59,480 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 1: So what do I do? See, if you're me, what

2561
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 1: do I do? I tell you what I would weigh

2562
02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: how valuable it is to schedule that time off with

2563
02:10:07,800 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 1: the experience of going to that Vegas game, and say, okay,

2564
02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:14,120
Speaker 1: if I don't go to the Vegas game, how valuable

2565
02:10:14,240 --> 02:10:16,480
Speaker 1: was it that I lost those personal days or those

2566
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:19,480
Speaker 1: sick days, and then that and the money and the

2567
02:10:19,680 --> 02:10:22,440
Speaker 1: pet care and the childcare and painting the mailbox and

2568
02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 1: vacuuming before I leave. Weigh that against the possibility that

2569
02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:31,360
Speaker 1: game may get canceled. Now when one or the other happens,

2570
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 1: shut up and sit down. John, thanks for calling. I'll

2571
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:39,360
Speaker 1: tell you what, first time you agree with me, you

2572
02:10:39,400 --> 02:10:41,440
Speaker 1: should try it more often. I think it's a good result.

2573
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Thanks John, David and Rochester quick call from David and Rochester.

2574
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead, David, Yeah, I think I'll make this real quick.

2575
02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:50,480
Speaker 1: So I think the game I would really love to

2576
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:55,760
Speaker 1: see if Pittsburgh here in Buffalo Sunday night or Monday night.

2577
02:10:55,800 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's gotta get into the playoffs. Got to win to

2578
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:00,920
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. We've got to win too secure

2579
02:11:00,920 --> 02:11:03,560
Speaker 1: a first round by I think that would be so awesome.

2580
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:06,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot like you know what you're described their, David,

2581
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:08,880
Speaker 1: thanks for your call. It's a lot like the Sunday

2582
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:11,720
Speaker 1: night Flex game in Pittsburgh last year. Right, Bill's one

2583
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:14,760
Speaker 1: got in the playoffs. Pretty much killed the Steelers playoff hopes.

2584
02:11:14,800 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it effectively killed them, but it was close.

2585
02:11:17,640 --> 02:11:19,480
Speaker 1: That was a good game. That was a high stakes game.

2586
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 1: All right, we got a break here. We're coming back.
