Speaker 1: the room today than there was yesterday. Yeah, we were here.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: It was a ghost town. We have Mark Schlathon later

00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: in the show, and it was him and his crew

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: on a morning show in Denverse. They were here really early.

Speaker 1: And then it was us yesterday. Yeah, nobody else was

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: starting to move in on our territory. Yeah, getting a

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: little bit more confined. It's gonna get worse as the

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: week goes along too. It's been an interesting twenty four

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: hours here at the Senior Bowls City, interesting because everybody's

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: both here in Atlanta. What did I call it Senior Bowls?

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Sorry that was last week. Everybody here is consumed with

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: weather here in Atlanta, back in Buffalo. Right here in Atlanta,

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: it's cold, it's rainy. I came over an hour or

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: go and got soaked in the short walk from the

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: end of the shuttle bus to the building here. I mean,

43
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: it's a cold, drenching rain and it's gonna get worse.

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: They're worried about ice here, and the super Bowl city

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: is worried about the ice. I was waiting for the

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: for the shuttlebus over here today and they dropped off

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of handwarmers and ponchos, and I thought, come on,

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: it's forty five three. It's an embarrassment. Well, really, they

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know how the don't know what they're doing. I mean,

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: look at what it's going on in Buffalo. I left

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: it was snowing. It was a white out of my house.

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: When I left to come down here Sunday, there was

53
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: already habit over a foot in my house and it

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: was coming down really hard. I even close the name,

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: close the schools on Monday, Are you kidding? Yeah, now

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: that's coming right, We're told back in Buffalo. Yeah, for

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: the wars over the next twenty four hours. In fact,

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the last time I checked in the northern suburbs, many

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: of our listeners and viewers are it's already getting bad, right,

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: A couple of inches of snow per hour over the

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: last little bit, So hang with us. We're here, we're

62
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: broadcasting here from Atlanta, where yes it's cold, and yes

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: it's a rainy and not very nice comfortable, but that

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't stop the Super Bowl. Nothing can stop this juggernaut.

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I was here in two thousand nature. I was here

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl between the Saint Louis Rams and

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. In two thousand. Came down not to work,

68
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: just to hang out watch the game, and it was

69
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: similar weather, and I remember the whole city of Atlanta

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: was bummed, like, hey, we're Atlanta. You know, we're southeast.

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: We should be a little bit sunny. Maybe in the

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: fifties it was kind of like this. Eighteen years it was.

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: It was an eighteen it was a it was eighteen

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: degrees in freezing. We had an ice storm when we

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: had our Super Bowl here against the Cowboys ninety four

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. It was horrible then. I don't

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: know why they think it's going to be any different.

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: This is the only weather I ever see down here.

79
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: This city does a good job of the hosting big

80
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: events they do. They do the Super Bowls. I was here.

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I was here for the Final Four a couple of

82
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: years ago. Five years ago. I think Atlanta does a

83
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: great job. It's a big city, obviously one of the

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: biggest in America, but does a great job in terms

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: of organization, the volunteers, the gout gin here, they're all

86
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: very efficient and professional, but very friendly too. Yeah, everybody

87
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: had talked on the way in here today. Good morning,

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. Yeah. It's it's a nice setup

89
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: for downtown is downtown and it's compact. There's a lot

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: to do down there. There's a lot of there's uh,

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, restaurants, places to go, gathering places. There's Olympic

00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Park is still down there that people are still there.

93
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: They have a festival set up. The Arena is right

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: next to uh Mercedes Benz Stadium, so all of that's

95
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: right next to us. The Convention Center, we're in the

96
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Convention Center. It's right there as well. So it's a

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: very concentrated place for these facilities and people to gather,

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: not just for the NFL experience, but for the Super

99
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: Bowl of the game itself, for all the media responsibilities,

100
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: for all the things they use the arena for as

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: well as the Super Bowl the stadium. So it's really

102
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: nice and compact. The locations great Um, once you get

103
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: into the area, you can walk to just about every place.

104
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: And plus they have all these little electric scooters that

105
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: you can hop on it. I know you're dying to

106
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: use one of those. Well not today. I saw a

107
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,000

00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and I thought those are that the day for? That

116
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240

117
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: filled except for the uffer deck. They had to be

118
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: you know, tens of thousands of fans there. Thirty dollars.

119
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: I had to come in and watch players be interviewed. Yeah,

120
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: and they can they give them earphones. They can listen along,

121
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: but come on, man, really, where's the entertainment value? It

122
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: was nuts. Anyway, I went in there. Now, Steven, can

00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: I tell the story? Yeah, yeah, Steve, and I the

124
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: plan was to Uh. The plan was to go there

125
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: and work, right, do a couple of interviews, talk to

126
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: some people, and we leave our hotel, take the shuttle

127
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: bus over. No, I'm sorry. Shuttlebus was not a bit

128
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: to take as many liberties as you want with us.

129
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: So we had to take a cab. Right, did we

130
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: take a cab? Yeah? Took a cab. Hover from our

131
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: hotel to right next door State Farm Arena, ten minute drive,

132
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: tons of traffic, painting the next traffic. We get right

133
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: up to the gate, we're getting ready to get out

134
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: of the car, and Steve goes, oh, oh, explative deleted.

135
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I forgot my media credential. No credential, I forgot it.

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: You forgot it. I'm totally It was back at the

137
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: r and so we were all the way across downtown

138
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: in a cab. We got there and I there's and

139
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, there's no way you get

140
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: in without the credential. There's just no way. And you

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: and I've been here enough to know, a catastrophic mistake,

142
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: huge rookie mistake. I told my wife last night, and

143
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: she said, well, he's Steve task or can't he just

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: talk his way in? And I said not maybe at

145
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the Western Ford, but this isn't one of West's automobile dealership.

146
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: This they don't They could not possibly care less about

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: who I am. And uh so I knew you and

148
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: I both knew you stick a fork in me. I

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: had one choice, either go back and get the darn

150
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: thing and come back. But by the time I, you know,

151
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: do that, I would miss all the Patriots. Yeah, no,

152
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: the Rams, all the rams, and so Murph in his gallantry,

153
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: just said, you know what, just call it a night,

154
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: go ahead. Yeah. So I took the same cab back,

155
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: just took the same cab back. Now here's the thing.

156
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: You didn't miss much, right, So I went and we

157
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: were I mean, Jay were there last year at the

158
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah. It's it's a it's a it's a show.

159
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: It's a it is a messy. It gives it gives

160
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: a mess a bad name. It is a total spectacle

161
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: that is meaningless in the amount of noise that it makes.

162
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: So probably ten thousand fans watching and thousand fans watching

163
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: watching media people do interviews. The rams were there the

164
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: floor of the arena, you know where the ice surfaces

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: where the basketball floor is covered with the Rams players.

166
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Some set up in podiums. You've seen this on TV, right,

167
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: and you couldn't find people the players you wanted to

168
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: talk to if they weren't at the podium, they're just

169
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: milling around. We found him, We found our guys. You're

170
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna hear from them too. When we kind of took

171
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo aspect to it, talked to Wade Phillips briefly.

172
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: It was great to see Wade Um. He had great

173
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: thoughts about his tenure with the Buffalo Bills start. You'll

174
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: hear the unterview leader in the show. But talked about

175
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: twenty nine and nineteen right, twenty nine wins, nineteen losses

176
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: for Wade Phillips. That's nice to pick up a garbage

177
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Trent in the middle of our show. That's nice. Um. No,

178
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: they just walked by, guess coming on and she's coming

179
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: to get the garbage. I talked to him to Kel

180
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman, Yeah, yeah, kind of the man of the hour.

181
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: He born to Kel, he has really exploded on the scene. Yeah,

182
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: when and he did it by when he not only

183
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: he was the guy who perpetrated the non call pass

184
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: interference in the Saints game, not only did he perpetrate it,

185
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: he owned it. He owned it. I loved it. I

186
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: talked to him about it briefly before he did the interview,

187
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: and I said, are you okay? And he had little

188
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: sweat beads on his forehead, and you know, he's surrounded

189
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: by media. One of the media handlers from the league

190
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: was trying to put him away and she said to me,

191
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: he just needs five minutes to get away. I mean,

192
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: he's just getting questions fired at him like rapid fire.

193
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: He wasn't in a poem. Yeah, so I like the

194
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: kell I've always liked the kell. We I said, okay,

195
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I'll be right back here in tim as he goes yeah, yeah,

196
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: So we wait for him. He comes back. There are

197
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: other people doing interviews. Michael Irvin does one of his

198
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Goofball interviews. Um, some young lady reporter I guess, came

199
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: up and had him pick a number out of a box.

200
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: She's playing some game on video all right. I'm standing

201
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: there and the count comes over to me ready to go,

202
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and I seen the call. I'm sorry, I don't have

203
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: any games for you. I don't have any Goofy game

204
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: for you to play. But he's great and you know

205
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: he does. He owns it. You know, Look, he made

206
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: a play. It was a bad play. I was beat,

207
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: he got beat, and it was a football play. And

208
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: that's the point I tried to make with him. You'll

209
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: hear the interview coming up in the show. You know,

210
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't a off the wall what are you doing?

211
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: That's nuts. It was a football play. When you're a

212
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: defensive back, you get beat play. He was willing to

213
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: take the penalty. Take the penalty he did. He thought

214
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: he was gonna give up a touchdown and he used to.

215
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: And that's what happens in moments like that when you

216
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: know he came over and he was gonna whack the

217
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: guy to keep him from scoring a touchdown. If he

218
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have panicked, he could have had a pick six

219
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: going the other way, because he actually outran the ball

220
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: to get there. Yeah, you know, he really made up

221
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: for it. And uh, because you've seen him playing but

222
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: we've seen him playing Buffle. He was a good player

223
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Is a guy one of those guys like,

224
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: oh man, you hate to see him lose him. You're

225
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: not just for the fact he's a really good player,

226
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: and he was a little bit of a surprise player

227
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: when his career took what was he he was undrafted,

228
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: drafted and he emerged as a true NFL player. I

229
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: don't think he was drafted and uh so, and he

230
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: turned out to be a great guy and a great player.

231
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: But he was desperate thinking that he had, you know,

232
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: missed the play and he tried to make him play

233
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: and he made a play and ended up and he'd

234
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: like to use his words, are whacked him, you know?

235
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: And uh so, now he's for the last since that

236
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: game and his ability to say, yeah, that's exactly what

237
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: I did. He's really kind of become the celebrity darling

238
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: of the media. They everyone wants to talk to him. Well,

239
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: then he did an interview with our buddy Tyler Dunn.

240
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: What was it Monday night? Maybe last night? Was on

241
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: day night, Sunday night, Monday during the day, in which

242
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: he said Tom Brady is old. I have Buffalo bills

243
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: blood in me. I know how to beat Brady. I

244
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: know what Brady means. Uh what did he say? You

245
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: got a stab him and then pull the night he

246
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: got so he backed up from all that. With everybody

247
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: you talk to, you you'll hear our interview with Nikel

248
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman Lateran backed up from all of that. Clearly.

249
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels under the gun, you know, media wise,

250
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and I bet he's looking forward to a couple of

251
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: days of practice here and getting into the game. I mean,

252
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: you played with teammate two were in the spotlight during

253
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl weeks. Darryl Talley got into a fight, uh Thurman,

254
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Thomas Yotta Day, Marv Levy boycotted the media day. Yeah.

255
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Should I tell the truth about that? I'm not ready to.

256
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: But what's it like for those guys when they get

257
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: into the practice week super Bowl week? You do the bit.

258
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a big media day. Last night they got

259
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: to kind of settle down and get ready to play now. Yeah. Yeah.

260
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, And it's become commonplace because

261
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: there's a two week gap between the championship game and

262
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You spend all last week in your

263
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: own meeting and facilities putting in the game plane. You

264
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: get it all installed, and you hone it in this

265
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: week because there are so many distractions. You're in a

266
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: strange environment in a different meeting rooms. It's not you know,

267
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: nothing's normal. So you've got your game plan installed and

268
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: now you're just trying to sharpen it up a little bit.

269
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: So most of these team, both these teams have their

270
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 1: stuff in place for the game, and that's kind of

271
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: to head off any detriment that the distractions and the

272
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: media responsibilities will have on your game plan, your ability

273
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: to get it installed. So Nicol will settle down, he'll

274
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: get ready to play, and I think he'll play well.

275
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: We talk to him. You'll hear that interview later on.

276
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: I spent some time talking to Robert Woods, who's at

277
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: a ponium. Former Buffalo Bill talked to Chris Hogan. Former

278
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill made a good time. It was good connecting

279
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: with those guys. You know what, one common theme and

280
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: you'll hear it, Steven, when we talk about these interviews

281
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: we do them later on on the show. They all

282
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it's because, well Hogan didn't start his NFL

283
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: career in Buffalo, but they all look at their Buffalo

284
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: years as kind of fundamental in their development as pro

285
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: football players. Robie Coleman said it, Robert Wood said it,

286
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan basically said it. Even though he had a

287
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: short st with the Dolphins, before that they all kind

288
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: of became pros. I felt in Buffalo before they Steph

289
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Gilmore first round draft where we talked with him. To

290
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: all these guys, and I think most of them as

291
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: they get away from Buffalo, there's no doubt they see

292
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: the positives. They had a great most of them had

293
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: a really good experience here in Buffalo. And it's it

294
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: gets fun to hear it. Um, who wasn't we had

295
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: on last week as I said, listen, this Buffalo is

296
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, oh it's Ross Tucker yesterday said that Buffalo

297
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: is by five teams of the five teams I played on,

298
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: by far, Buffalo is my favorite. And that's that's kind

299
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: of comforting and kind of you know, nice to hear

300
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: from players. Um. And the one thing, you know, we'd

301
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of calls about how the Bills let

302
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: Robert Woods get away blah blah blah. He got into it.

303
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask, but he started talking about how

304
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to a place where they threw

305
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: the ball and didn't know if with Tyrod Taylor here

306
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: that would be his team. Now we've we've speculated that

307
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: that was his issue. Going home was big for him

308
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: obviously money was a big factor, but most importantly, he said,

309
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: was going to a place where he'd be used as

310
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a receiver and he could catch the football instead of

311
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: being instead of being a black blocker. Yeah, which he

312
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: was a good one here He's listen. He Robert Woods

313
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: is in recent memory, one of your favorite players because

314
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: he worked hard at everything they asked him to do,

315
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: whether it was running pass routes, catching the ball, doing

316
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: ever and also a very willing blocker. He's just I'm

317
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: with humor if both of us have a real strong

318
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: affinity for Robert was because he plays with a little grit, Yeah,

319
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: and he plays with a desire that he wears on

320
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: his sleeve, and he plays with a posture that is

321
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: always knows to the grindstef and it's easy to like

322
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: players like that. And he's continued that in LA. So

00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing, your role and what their vision was

374
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: for the huge future. You know, how how did that

375
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: conversation go before you signed? Yeah, I think it was,

376
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: you know it was they streamed lin it pretty well.

377
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, they were happy with what

378
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I've done in the past two years, Um, as far

379
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: as you know, being as consistent as I as I

380
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: can be. Um. But you know, they they kind of

381
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: one of the things they told me was they wanted

382
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: me to be around, you know, through this program, the

383
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: culture that they're building for the next couple of years

384
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: and and you know, so on after that. So that

385
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: was something that you know, I couldn't you know, obviously

386
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: couldn't turn down. I want to be a part of

387
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: what coach mcdermot's building here, and uh, you know, yeah,

388
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: it's free vote of confidence. Right, there's a three year deal.

389
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Reported is a three year deal and what a great

390
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: vote of confidence when you think that they're building something here.

391
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: I think most of us believe that, and they say

392
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: to you, you know, long snapper, we want you here

393
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: part of this. That's got to feel pretty good. Absolutely, yes,

394
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean I was ecstatic to hear the

395
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: news when when they offered me the deal. So yeah,

396
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm very happy, ready to get back in April. We'll

397
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: get back to work in the spring with Reed Ferguson,

398
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: Bill's long snapper got a contract extension yesterday. I was

399
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: thinking about when when the announcement came out yesterday, how

400
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: you are like a living, breathing example of them, the

401
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: effectiveness of the practice squad. You spent the entire twenty

402
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: sixteen season as a practice squad long snapper, right, and

403
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: obviously got something out of that, correct. Yeah. I think, um,

404
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, when when they brought me back on the

405
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: practice squad for that season, uh, you know, I felt like,

406
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, being able to practice and go through the

407
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: daily routine with with with the other specialists and the

408
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: guys that were you know, as a rookie they're all

409
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: older than me, but being able to learn and take

410
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: different things from them, and also being able to kind

411
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: of formulate my own daily routine and you know, more

412
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: of the mental aspect of it, um, you know, as

413
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: well as on the field day to day practice routine.

414
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: But not having to go out there and perform in

415
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: the game. I was able to really focus on you know,

416
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: those three you know practices we get on the field

417
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: each week and in the film room, you know, trying

418
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: to improve each and every day, each and every week,

419
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: and and really getting that mental experience for that one

420
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: year and then ready to hit the ball roll and

421
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: going into the past two years. You also had a

422
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: season where you ended up when you you know, look

423
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: back between your legs back there, you had different guys,

424
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: three different funds. How was that too, you know, because

425
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: you started out with the orchids. Who's a rookie, so

426
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: you know he probably had to you know, help him

427
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: as much as you can just kind of pull him

428
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: off the ceiling, probably with time or two. Right, Yeah, um, yeah,

429
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was hard at times, but

430
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: at times, you know, it's very enjoyable. Uh. You know,

431
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: in the offseason, Colton and Corey were or Corey Carter

432
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: were with the team, and then you know, Corey got

433
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: hurt and so on. And so you know, Borkes came

434
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: in in the beginning of the season, you know, as

435
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: a rookie going through that, you know, just two years prior.

436
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: I kind of tried to push as much as I could,

437
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, without being overbearing, but I tried to push

438
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: as much as I could to try and help him

439
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: through that mental process because I know, you know, how

440
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: overwhelmed he was going to be going into the season,

441
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: um especially you know, since he hadn't worked with Steven

442
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: and I at all going into the first game. So

443
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: really just trying to spend spend as much time with

444
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: with you know, the new guys that came in and

445
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: trying to get them comfortable with with the operation between

446
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: you know, with with Houshka himself and then myself. But

447
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the thing I fall back on is,

448
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just try to I try to give

449
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: him the ball in the same spot every time. You know,

450
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: that's my job is to make their job easier. You know,

451
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: That's kind of the the baseline of of how I

452
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: go through my job. So you know, if I'm putting

453
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: on punt snaps, if I'm putting the ball in his

454
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: hip every time, and on you know, a short snap,

455
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm I'm giving him laces right where he wants it

456
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: every time. That's only going to help him and give

457
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: him less a thing about on each play. You live

458
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: in a world and work in a profession where essentially

459
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: there is no margin for error, right right, anybody wear

460
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,280

461
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: you know a little bit, you know, I mean, it's

462
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: always gonna be a little bit in the back of

463
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: your mind. But I think that as much as you know,

464
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: we perfect this craft as specialist kickers, punters, long snappers,

465
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: you you kind of go out there. You know, as

466
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: much as you work in the week, you're you're confident

467
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: in your abilities going into the game Sunday. You know,

468
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: we we go through all of these situations every week

469
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: in practice where it's you know, it's it's very very

470
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: hard for us to mess up. So you know, we're

471
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: mentally prepared going into the game throughout the situations in

472
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: the game. You know, hey, you know, based on time, timeouts,

473
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: where the ball is, field position and all that kind

474
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: of stuff that you know, we're prepared for whatever the

475
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: game's gonna throw at us. And when you get out there,

476
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: and stuff goes wrong, you can't you can't focus on it, right.

477
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a couple of special teams miscues

478
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: this year and you still got more game to play,

479
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: more stuff to do. You can't just get bogged down

480
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: on what happened wrong, right right. You gotta you gotta

481
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: bounce back, You gotta you know, you get one shot

482
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: at it, but if that one shot doesn't go right,

483
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: you gotta bounce back and flush it from your mind

484
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: and come back and perform the next time you're called upon.

501
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: must do things in Atlanta for say a weekend. What

502
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: would you have to do if you were coming here

503
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: to it? Okay, yep, I would say three things. I

504
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: would say. Make sure you get some good barbecue. Okay,

505
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: there are plenty of good barbecue spots around here. Um,

506
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: the Varsity is a good spot. It is down here

507
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: hot Dog Place and right right off eighty five. And

508
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: then make sure you get a frosted orange when you

509
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: get there the Varsity. It's like an orange slushy. And

510
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: then uh, World of Coke, the World of Coca Cola. Yeah,

511
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: it's got the history museum you can try. They've got

512
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: this really cool spot where you can try all the

513
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: different flavors from different countries around the world. Very very cool.

514
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Of my favorite spots all the different because so in

515
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: you know, in Asia, Africa, South America, they've got they

516
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: don't necessarily serve diet coke sprite. They've got different flavors

517
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: and different brands of of the of coke you can

518
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: try really cool. Buffalo, I think if we talk about

519
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: this on the show once before, but this is true.

520
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo is one of the very few cities in America

521
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: where pepsi out South Cooke. Did you know that? I

522
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,400

523
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: has worked for Coke for a while. I'm probably close

524
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: to twenty five or thirty years, I believe. And um,

525
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: every time she flies up, she's got she's got to

526

00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: it's good for me. If it's three, if it's free,

610
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: give me three. Good point. The Super Bowl week just

611
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: getting started here, Steve, and I noticed the uptick and

612
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: energy even in this room today. You can tell that

613
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: the game is coming right a couple days away. Yeah.

614
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: It was funny because I mean, you know how crazy

615
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: is now that they have that Monday night? Yeah, almost disaster.

616
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like right, But but it was funny

617
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: because I mean the energy was there with the players

618
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: and the interviewees. I mean to a point where the

619
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Patriots I've never seen them be as cooperative as they

620
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: were I mean, they had guys to stay to the

621
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: very end, players that weren't on the podium, that we're

622
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: going around doing inter views at the very last minute,

623
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: and you go, wow, how about that? And not one Patriot,

624
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: believe it or not, did a Nickel Robie Coleman statement

625
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: that was negatives been reported yet. Really, that's amazing surprising.

626
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: Why do you call that almost a disaster? Well, because

627
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Because I was trying to go

628
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: get interviews, and of course it's first off, a lot

629
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: of times you don't have a lot of players that

630
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: have their numbers, so unless you recognize their faces, then

631
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. Secondly, there's so much noise in the background.

632
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to tape and I was trying to

633
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: use a new app that was trying to transcribe, and

634
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: the sound overrid everything on that and so it's like, okay,

635
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: so I was trying to make my life easier with

636
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: a new app that was going to transcribe. That didn't help.

637
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: We went there and last night knocked off a couple

638
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: of short interviews, but it's really not the forum for

639
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: any meaningful interviews, just for the noise and the and

640
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: the and the clown suits press. It's really the kickoff

641
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: moment though. Yeah, I say when you know, you say

642
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: when they land and they get all that. But for

643
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the ten thousand fans, oh yeah, I mean that's where

644
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: this whole week kind of kicks off. Man, Okay we are,

645
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: here's both teams and there's an event. Well, and to

646
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: be honest, it's great for the fans because they keep

647
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: on making it better. For example, I mean you figure,

648
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: like they put the fans you know, a couple of

649
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: years ago into Combine and you'll say, really is that

650
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: going to work out? Well, now they started putting him

651
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: in an interviews, like you want to watch people do interviews,

652
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: and but now they set it up so that, I

653
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: mean you can go on certain sound systems and that

654
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: pick up the individual interviews that you want to listen to.

655
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, they've got all the different people coming over,

656
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: all the stuff. So it's like they've made it a

657
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: pretty good event for the fans. Thirty dollars ahead they got, yeah,

658
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: exactly ahead to watch people do interviews. Bro, we gotta figure,

659
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: why do I get a cut of that? No? No,

660
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: we're over there with Wade. I mean I was there

661
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: for twenty two minutes. And you know, and that's the

662
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: tough part, because I mean before when they started this,

663
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: they would sit them in the stands and you would

664
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: get a chance to at least get closer and get

665
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: some more questions in, because I mean when you came

666
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: over to talk, you know, Bill stuff with Wade, I mean,

667
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: it still took you four to five minutes to be

668
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: able to get into question. And I know I was

669
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: there for twenty two minutes, and there was apps where

670
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't get a question in for about four or

671
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: five minutes. Says that we don't monetize our lives well,

672
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: and we should gets ahead. We should be getting a

673
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: little stipend for a little something, you know, for the effort.

674
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: You need to give lessons from Thurmon on that or

675
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Andre he's easy official spokesman for we should we should

676
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: get our shirts sponsored or something like exactly right, seven

677
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: ten ESPN Radio and Seattle, John Clayton joins us, All right,

678
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: we got a Twitter poll up there, and you, of

679
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: course been around the NFL for so long you would

680
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: be an informed opinion on this topic. It's been twenty

681
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: five years since the Bills were in the Super Bowl.

682
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Last one here in Atlanta, Georgia, Doome, they lost to

683
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They lost to the Cowboys in Pasadena. Before that,

684
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: they lost to Washington and Minneapolis, and of course lost

685
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: to the Giants in Tampa. Four Super Bowl appearance. Which

686
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: one do you think would qualify as your favorite or

687
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: the one most? Man, I'm trying to resist saying the

688
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: one that was the most painful, because that Giant game

689
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: was fantastic. It was a great game. It was such

690
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: a great game, and you know, it came down to

691
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: a kick at the end, and we won't get into

692
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: that again, but it's like that, I think I think

693
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: it's in a lot of respect. I can say it

694
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: now because it's not too soon to say that is

695
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: one of the all time classic games ever because the

696
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: kick was missed and if it, if it goes through,

697
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: that's just another kick where the guy comes listen. It's

698
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: been great, it would have been well, but that's already

699
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: that had already been done at that point, and it's

700
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: been done twice since. Um, you know, the O'Brien kicked

701
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: one for the Colts in Super Bowl whatever whatever five

702
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: and and Vinitari's done it a couple of times and

703
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: so but because Scott missed that kick on the last play,

704
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: that's makes that game unique and different. You know that

705
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: that that does happen well, because I mean it's like

706
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: it makes the words mean I hate to bring it

707
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: there for a second. Yeah, because because now all of

708
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like when you say wide right, you

709
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: think of one thing unfortunately right, that kick and it

710
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: was there's no question. I mean I was emotionally and

711
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: physically scarred by it. But and I still m but

712
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: I and maybe that's the reason I had such an

713
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: affinity for that game. And I guess I guess that

714
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: five was gonna say I had a favor when that

715
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: would have to be it well, and also when you

716
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: look back at that, I mean I played better. What

717
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: was What was so unique is that you know, there

718
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: were so many games that weren't close back then in

719
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl there was and so this was like yeah, yeah,

720
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: what I saw some Denver games in Minnesota games and

721
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: things like that too. But the great part now is

722
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the way the game has changed. I mean now there's

723
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: more close games, more good games, more games either decided

724
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: by a field goal or a missfield goal than we've

725
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: ever seen. I mean, it's like, look at the Patriots.

726
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: It's okay, they're five and three in the Super Bowl.

727
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: They've been to nine Super Bowls in eighteen years, and

728
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: even the ones they win is a field goal game

729
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: pretty much, right, John Steve and I were talking yesterday

730
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: and this may become my theme of the week about

731
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They are so versatile, so adaptable. Uh, the

732
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: way they won Super Bowls ten twelve years ago, it

733
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: was totally different than how they might win this. I

734
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: mean they're running the ball now thirty five forty times

735
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: a game. Well, yeah, And it was the amazing part

736
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: because I know that was one of the things I

737
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: was able to sneak out and do because the great

738
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: part about good part about the Monday Night they do

739
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: have the coaches like I went over to Dante Scarnikia

740
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: and it says, when did you start getting into the

741
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: wham blocks with Gronkowski and when did you start getting

742
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: into two the twenty one formation, you know, taking James

743
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: Devlin and I went over to James Devlin and says,

744
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: how did that all evolve? Because they and they both

745
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: admitted it's like, well, you know, the fullbacks have been

746
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: pretty well eliminated. But I think would have come down

747
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: to and they bring up you know, uh Nicol Robbie Coleman,

748
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, I mean Tom's showing a little

749
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: bit of age, not a lot, because he's still going

750
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: to have a great chance to win. But I think

751
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: you can see that some of the limitations they have

752
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: with the receiving cores that they have for talent, I mean,

753
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: what they can do as far as separation with the

754
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers that is like, hey, we're gonna we're gonna

755
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: run the ball. But again, when you have Dante Scarnikia,

756
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean that guy was unbelievable. I mean, look at

757
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: how well that line has blocked with nobody higher than

758
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: the third round pick Trenton Brown, who really wasn't very

759
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: good in San Francisco, how good he is right now.

760
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: Scarnikia may have been one of the big factors, probably

761
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: the best edition getting him back from retirement that they

762
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: probably had in the last few years. I maintained it.

763
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: That's the genius of Belichick. Versatility, the adaptability to whatever

764
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: it takes. And it's on both sides of the football

765
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: as well. Oh yeah. In fact, Dante even explained that

766
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: because I know, fortunately I'm gonna be right now for

767
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: the Washington Post column. Is that what happens is they've

768
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: been together for eighteen years and because of that, there's

769
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: such a history. He said, well, we've did this before,

770
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: we've done this before, and it's just a matter of adjusting.

771
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: And of course one thing that Bill doesn't get credit

772
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 1: for is how much college stuff that he incorporates into

773
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: his offense. They gotta think about that into his offense

774
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: because remember when they went down and had I don't

775
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: know how they did it, whether they you know, took

776
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: videos or something like that. Of Texas Tech. You know,

777
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: they studied the air raid offense right at the time

778
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: they traded for Wes Welker, and they developed kind of

779
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: the slot guy in the moment they all ran air

780
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: raid type of routes. Then a couple of years ago

781
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: they went to Oregon somehow with Chip Kelly and was

782
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: able to study the Oregon running game. And that's some

783
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: of the stuff that they have right now, well ahead

784
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: of everything else. Because remember back then they were getting

785
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: the first year they did at seventy five running play

786
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: or seventy five plays a game, way more than anybody

787
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: else in the league. They're so advanced in some of

788
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: the things that they add because they say, Okay, we

789
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: have the base, we did this, we'll go back to this,

790
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: we'll add that, and that's why they keep on going back.

791
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: And one of the things about it isn't listen. You

792
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: can say that there's nothing new under the sun sometimes snatis.

793
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: But when a defense does something and that's maybe technologically

794
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: advanced or conceptually advanced, conceptually advanced, there's always a response

795
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: and there's always a way to respond to that on

796
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: the other side of the football, and the Patriots seemed

797
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: to be well ahead of that and well versed so

798
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: that if you do this, we're going to do that. Yeah,

799
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: if you do if we do this, we know you're

800
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: going to do this. The anticipation and the depth of

801
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: knowledge they have for what works against what and their

802
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: ability to just plug it in the go is the

803
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: thing that's made them, you know, Bow considering the greatest

804
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: coach of all time. Thank you, Good to see you too.

Speaker 1: twenty six, The third one in Pasadena, the Bills and

831
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. First one was in Tampa, and the fourth

832
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: one the Bills and the Cowboys right here in Atlanta

833
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. Yeah, which one did you like?

834
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: Give us a call the phone lines open the eight

Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty and toll free one eight

836
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. He can vote

837
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 1: in our Twitter poll. All right now, it's it's a runaway, Steve.

838
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: Eighty seven percent of the respondent so far say super

839
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty five was their favorite, five percent say Super

840
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty six against the Redskins, five percent say Super

841
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty seven against the Cowboys, and three percent say

842
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl twenty eight against the Cowboys. I guess it's

843
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: it was the really the closest one. It was the

844
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: first one that would be why I would choose super

845
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty five is my favorite. First time everything was

846
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: kind of accelerated, one week between games, no week run

847
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: up before you got here to the Super Bowl. The

848
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: fifty one to three pounding of the Raiders, the exhilaration,

849
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: the over the top excitement among the fan base. I

850
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: mean that was your Super Bowl? Well that would be

851
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: my choice, but I think the others merit some consideration.

852
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: Which one was your favorite. It's twenty five, no question

853
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: about it, for all those reasons. And it's interesting to

854
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: you want to know how long ago it was. We

855
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: tweeted out a picture. Somebody sent a picture of me

856
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: after one of those Super Bowls in my Pro Bowl jersey,

857
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: and I looked ten years old. I mean I really

858
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: do I look ten? I mean I look I don't

859
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: even look like a high school kid. And you think

860
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: it's twenty five years since the last once the fourth

861
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, the one here in Atlanta, but that game

862
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, And you think how long ago was

863
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: that stadium didn't exist? The stadium they're playing in here

864
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta doesn't exist. Minnesota different exit Minnesota's Rose Stadium

865
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: and the Rose Bowl. Still things have changed. It's been

866
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: a long time. The league has transformed itself and it's

867
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: grow continue to grow. It's the eight hundred pound guerrilla

868
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: on the American sports landscape. And I and I tell

869
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: you this all the time, Murph. Those four Super Bowls

870
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: we went to transform to the super Bowl. Even when

871
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: we were there, it was a completely different experience the

872
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: fourth super Bowl we went to than it was the

873
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl. Is that just the passage of time

874
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: or what was it? I think it was the growth

875
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: of the league. It was exponential at that point. It

876
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: went from you know, a couple one hundred million bucks

877
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: to a couple of billion over a course of a

878
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: handful of years. And it was it was amazing to

879
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: see the transformation. And even now people come down and

880
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: people have been in Buffalo, have been down to Super

881
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Bowls that the Bills weren't playing, and you come down here.

882
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: Now there'll be ten events this week. You've seen it.

883
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Last night is one of them. There's ten events that

884
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: are worth coming down just to watch, forget the game,

885
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, just to come out and check it out.

886
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: What's going on here. So celebrity events, old football player

887
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: events that you know, corporate events, parties, the commissioners party,

888
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: all of the stuff that the NFL experience. Media Day,

889
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: the media itself becomes part of the story because it's

890
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: so massively covered. Um it's and that all began that

891
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: transformation all the way back when we were playing. Okay,

892
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it to do with technology too,

893
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean absolutely, I mean you look

894
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: around here, everything in this room. The technology is totally

895
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: different from what it was twenty five years ago in

896
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: terms of delivering content to back home from us back

897
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: and look at the replaces of the game. They're they're

898
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: not even high deff cameras anymore, you know what I mean.

899
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of it looks fuzzy. Um, it

900
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: looks like old film, you know. It's Uh. The technology

901
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: has been a huge boost to the league and they've

902
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: embraced it. A lot of people now will say, hey,

903
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: you need to embrace it even more given the lack

904
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: of helping officiating further. Um, the camera angles they've got.

905
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: I remember in one of the Super Bowls we did CBS.

906
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking about they had the three sixty cameras, you know,

907
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: the all all three hundred and sixty degree and oh,

908
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: I like you, Murph, we're of a vintage vintage of

909
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: watching games and for decades you'd sit at home and

910
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: I wonder what that looks, and we needed a camera

911
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: over you, you know. And then they started to get

912
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: the reverse angle cameras and that took that away. I

913
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: remember when we did the three sixty. I think it

914
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: was the Tampa It was the Ravens and the Giant

915
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl in Tampa Bay, the new one, the new

916
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium, and they had the three sixty technology.

917
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: And I remember my brothers might have three older brothers, right,

918
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: so they're they're your age, right, They're just the same.

919
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: They jumped off the couch because there was a tight

920
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: play down on the goal line and they had the

921
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: camera angle just change that swung around to the other

922
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: side without taking it, you know, without cutting yeah away,

923
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: and that you could see what you were looking at.

924
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: My brothers jumped off the couch when they were watching

925
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They have finally done it. They have

926
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: given us what we have always wanted, the ability to

927
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: change the angle the camera right where we needed to be,

928
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: and it was that kind of technology has transformed the

929
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: way we consumed this game. Somebody mentioned here I read

930
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: somebody mentioned how last time the Super Bowl was here

931
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: two thousand, right. Yeah, everything that's changed around the league

932
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: technology most importantly, but they said maybe the biggest change

933
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: for consumers of the NFL is the red zone channel,

934
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: the Red Zone Network. I mean, it's you couldn't think

935
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: of a living without it now, that's that's a real landscape.

936
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: That's a paradigm shift for a lot of people because

937
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: it also it removes particularly since now fantasy football is

938
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: also an enormous thing that has changed, and the fact

939
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: that you can consume only the best of the league

940
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: at any given moment on a Sunday, I think that's

941
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: a paradigm shift for a lot of people. It's going

942
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: to change what people expect. I don't think people. I

943
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: think people are gonna get tired of watching an entire

944
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: game as as good as a game as it could be,

945
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: as as your team, that kind of thing. I think

946
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: people are gonna, you know, they're gonna gravitate towards things

947
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: like that. Ye. Hey, what's your favorite of the Bill's

948
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: four Super Bowl appearances? Take a few phone calls whenever

949
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: they can punch it up at the studio. Bobby in

950
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans, I think is on the line, Bobby, are

951
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: you there? Go ahead, welcome to the show. You mean

952
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: Bobby from there? Yeah, Bobby from Maryland? Not okay, Yeah,

953
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, Bobby m Yeah. Yeah. My my favorite was

954
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: the what was the first one. I became a Bill

955
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: fan after my freshman year in high school. After my

956
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: high school band went from from from Virginia to the

957
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Naga Falls area. We marched to Naga Falls day in Buffalo.

958
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: So to watch them progress and and get better and

959
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: better each season with the acquisitions and the and the

960
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: seasons got better, and to see them go to the

961
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and and man, that was that was also

962
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: a real tight and exciting game. That's up to four.

963
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: That's obviously my favors. Yeah, i'd agree with you. That's

964
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: and you're right. I think you're echoing the thoughts of

965
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people. And you forget that that getting

966
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: to that first Super Bowl, Murph. That was a team

967
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: that in the early eighties was two and fourteen, two

968
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: and fourteen and then eighty six. Midway through eighty six,

969
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: they were they were one and what one of nine

970
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: and they fired Hank Bullo, the head coach, and that Monday,

971
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: the next day they hired Marv Levy and from that

972
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: moment on midway through eighty six is when they began

973
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: that climb with Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith and Andre Reid

974
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: already in the room. All right, tell I tell people

975
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: all the time my story is, you know, I'm still

976
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: catching the lottery ticket from getting picked up off waivers.

977
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: The first week of Marv Levy got the job, I

978
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: walked into my first function as a member of the team.

979
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: It was the night before Marv Levy's first game. That

980
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: was my first time sitting in the room. And you know,

981
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: Bruce and Jim and Andre are already in the room,

982
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: and they're in They're going to the Hall of Fame.

983
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Marv's going to the Hall of Fame. Nobody knows.

984
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: And Bill Pulling's in the back of the room, he's

985
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: going to Hall of him. Nobody's just five guys in

986
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: there was in the room. He wasn't in their room,

987
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: and neither was Thurman. So none of those guys were

988
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: in the law in the room, it was just those

989
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: five guys. It was Bruce, Thurman and Andre. Bruce, Bruce,

990
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: Jim and Andre and Marv and Bill had five guys

991
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: in the room already. They were going to the Hall

992
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: of Fame and they were gonna draft Thurman the next year.

993
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: And Corney has been it. You know. Yeah, So I'm

994
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: to this very day, I'm still cashing in that lottery ticket, right,

995
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: So the caller just said it was fun to watch

996
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: him grow. That's where that started. And I was kind

997
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: of there for exactly what he's talking about. They were

998
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: a bad football team and all of a sudden they

999
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: started to get better and better, and they really never

1000
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: took a backward step. And well, I guess maybe they

1001
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: did in eighty nine, but it was a team that

1002
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: was really growing fast. It was fun to be a

1003
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: part of trying to reminisce with you about your favorite

1004
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: Bills Super Bowl appearance. Which of the four on the

1005
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Wandering Jack, he goes easily. Super Bowl

1006
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: twenty five. I was only eight. It's one of my

1007
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 1: earliest Bills memories. The team looked good, it was close,

1008
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: they should have won, and Derman should have been MVP

1009
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: twenty six. Super Bowl twenty six, he says, was dysfunctional

1010
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: from the start, other than Tasker in BB twenty seven

1011
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: was brutal. Twenty eight started good but ended horrible. That's

1012
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: pretty good capsule of the four Super Bowl appearances right there. Yeah,

1013
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: And that's he's right on the money. I mean, I'm well,

1014
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what he said about BB twenty seven

1015
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: other than Tasker and BB twenty seven was brutal. He said,

1016
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: you had the block punp bb head. Yeah, okay, I

1017
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: still get congratulated for running leon letdown, by the way,

1018
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: even though it was not me. That's right. I promised Beads.

1019
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take credit for it. There's a huge mistake.

1020
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: I should just say thank you. And do you get

1021
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: the credit for wearing the kazoo helmet? Yeah? I get

1022
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: some of that too for Kelso. Yeah, and they all

1023
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: do too. I think they all yeah, they all interchange. Yeah,

1024
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: crazy and it's great. But yeah, those Super Bowls, you know,

1025
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: you think back to the way it was and the

1026
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: way you know, everybody was in a different place in

1027
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: their life twenty five years ago. I mean it could

1028
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: think about it and there's a whole and think about this.

1029
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: This is the thing for the Bills fans, I think

1030
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: more so than a lot of fan bases. There's something

1031
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: that are similar. But there's a whole generation of Bills

1032
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: fans that don't know their team being successful and having

1033
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: sustained success. The whole generation of Bills fans that are

1034
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: there hearing about it, wondering about it, hearing old guys

1035
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: like us talk about it and never having experienced it,

1036
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: and then they got a little bit of a taste

1037
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: for last year. And and I and I say this openly,

1038
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: that moment last year when the Bills got into the

1039
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: playoffs after they had finished beating the Dolphins waiting in

1040
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: week seventeen in Miami and and see it and everybody

1041
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: because of the technology now experiencing on social media and

1042
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: seeing the recordings and how the team found out at

1043
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: the same time, that was one of the all time

1044
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: great moments in Bill's history. Are I really think it was? Um?

1045
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: And I I could watch that thing on a loop

1046
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: all day. It's just so awesome because I can relate

1047
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: to the players in there in that locker room, I

1048
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: can relate to the fans in the concourse. Um. And

1049
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 1: for me being a Buffalo guy, now, like you a lifer,

1050
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: you know in Buffalo you kind of put your arms

1051
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: around the whole city. We all put our arms around

1052
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: each other because you know, we're the punchline of jokes

1053
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: or even today, even in the land of the weather

1054
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: they think is terrible in Buffalo really is right. I mean,

1055
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: so we're in it together, right, We're gonna We're gonna

1056
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna club that's pretty hard to get into, and

1057
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: to all of us celebrate that together like that is

1058
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I mean. And so I think that's something

1059
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: special about the fan base in Buffalo that we all

1060
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: experience and and to have a whole generation and this

1061
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: Twitter question is a great, a great example of it.

1062
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: Here is a whole generation that doesn't know. I know,

1063
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: it just hasn't know. We'll get that fixed, they will. Alison,

1064
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,640

Speaker 1: the families. Yeah you got you got some information on

1128
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: the weather back in your hometown of Eastern Roa for

1129
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: those people live in the south townside, Orchard Park and

1130
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: East Rod and even those for people in Buffalo. Buffalo

1131
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: is pretty bad right now. But the line of the

1132
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: storm is right at that spot where the one ninety

1133
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: loops into the city. Where it comes off the ninety

1134
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: and goes into the city. That's where the line it

1135
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: gets better in the south towns, and it's gonna swing south.

1136
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna swing back to stand up and would actually

1137
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: I could and the green screen, but people know what

1138
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You driving around there, you go to

1139
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: that loop coming up from the South towns on the

1140
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: one nine right where you either go to the two

1141
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: ninety out or to the ninety out by the Galleria

1142
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: or downtown. That's usually where the weather changes. If it's

1143
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: snowing in the South towns easter or in Orchard Park,

1144
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: that's where it stops. But it's just the opposite of

1145
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: that today that's actually where it starts, and it's up

1146
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: and it's it's snowing in Buffalo. But it's gonna switch

1147
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: back to the normal pattern. I guess later on. I

1148
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,960

1188
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,840

1192
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: win it. It was a close down to the wire.

1193
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: A lot of gut wrenching conversions by their offense when

1194
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: they really needed it and we had a chance to

1195
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: win it at the end. It was had a lot

1196
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,960

00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: as difficult as they might be because of the losses

1204
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,719

1211
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: about ten new guys on each team. There were twenty

1212
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: two guys that went to all four Super Bowls, and

1213
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the fifty three was washed through with

1214
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,520

1215
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: and didn't go to all four, so there was a

1216
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: lot of new faces, different faces, a different feel every

1217
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: every time. Certainly, the leadership didn't change through those four

1218
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 1: years with Marvin, Jim and Bruce and Andre Thurman, James Lofton,

1219
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: Cornie Bennett, Tent, Kent Hall all. I can go down

1220
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: the list. Those crucial elements were in place for all four,

1221
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: but certainly there was a different little bit of different

1222
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: chemistry and all them in all the chemistry for me,

1223
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: from my standpoint, was just phenomenal. We loved having it

1224
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: and all four you were bringing family here right. In fact,

1225
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: you brought a newborn to what Super Bowl twenty five?

1226
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty five. Our second son, third child was born,

1227
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: was induced on the Friday before the Oakland game that

1228
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: we won fifty one to three, and then that Thursday,

1229
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: so six days after he was born. They were on

1230
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: the charter flight with the team down to down to

1231
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Yeah, and I Bill Poley. I talked to

1232
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: Bill and still our pediatrician today. I said, listen, can

1233
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: I get a seat on the plane for my pediatrician

1234
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: because I'm you know, and he goes, yeah, yeah, So

1235
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, Orchard Park pediatrics, you know, Frank Shrek and

1236
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: doctor Frank sat on the plane and he was seeing

1237
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: all the players kids all weekend. He was he just

1238
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: set up a shop down there and he just you know,

1239
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: so he got to go to all four super Bowls

1240
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: because they regulized with all the families there. It was

1241
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: a good idea, and so he went to all four

1242
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: of them. So what's your favorite super Bowl experience for

1243
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: the Bills? That's what we're talking about. Got a call

1244

Speaker 1: I think um favorite super Bowl twenty five for a

1247
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: number of reasons. It was like a culmination of the

1248
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: bickering Bills finally putting it together, you know, thrashing the

1249
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins in the first playoff game, killing the Raiders in

1250
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: the in the second, and and just the look of

1251
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: the crowd and that in that Raiders game, and just

1252
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: the thought of everybody thinking like I can't believe we're

1253
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: finally gonna do this. It's finally gonna happen, and and

1256
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of that first time the

1257
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: Bills lent. And to top it up, I'm twenty eight.

1258
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't even I wasn't even watching it then, but

1259
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: I've gone back and watched it. Where do these memories

1260
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: come from? Where are these memories coming from? Max? Just

1261
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: I've watch I've probably watched that that Raiders game a

1262
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: hundred times in my life. It just I just I

1263
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: watched so bad and it just it makes me think, like, wow,

1264
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: you just imagine what everybody was thinking. The hot tubs

1265
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. It's just the ridiculous. It's just

1266
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: everything about it, just you know, um, just everything the

1267
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,400

Speaker 1: Bowl of white twenty five uniforms, it's you know, it

1269
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,680

1332
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: Give us a little insight into your story. And because

1333
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you had a career that was well, super Bowl champion

1334
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: and then you know it was cut short. Yeah, it

1335
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: was cut very short, man. But I got a C three,

1336
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: C four vertebrate injury. And uh after that injury, man

1337
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: after year later, I went into a deep depression where

1338
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I didn't have no identity for myself. I'd had tons

1339
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: of impulsive thoughts and I had anxiety like crazy, and

1340
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: so um, I went to this place. And when I

1341
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: said I had forty four percent of my brain, that's function.

1342
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: That's like telling one of the guys that's in active

1343
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: right now, go out in the world and try to

1344
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: figure this out with half of your brain working, right,

1345
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You can't. You can't do it.

1346
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: And and that's why I bought into this program. And

1347
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: now I'm working at every chance I get, even though

1348
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: if I feel myself slipping a little bit, I go

1349
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: back to peer and try to like get that thing

1350
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: up some more. Five concussions you suffered in your six

1351
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: year NFL playing career, Yes, sir, And is this what

1352
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: you talk about, is as a result of those concussions,

1353
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: do you believe? Yeah? Absolutely, Man, I say five they

1354
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: got detected, that they got they got caught diagnosed, you

1355
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But other than that, man, I

1356
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: would say, we got to concussion every game if you

1357
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: really want to be real, because the high impact game.

1358
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: And I was one of them guys that had to

1359
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: blow the top off of it and get to the

1360
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: middle of the field. And it's just one of those things. Man. Well,

1361
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to help my peers, my former players

1362
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: that I play with, and you know what I mean.

1363
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I mean, I'm just trying to

1364
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: speak my story. What's the most common I'm a misconception

1365
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: a player like you, player like me has about getting

1366
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: help a man spent during the course while we're playing,

1367
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: it's you don't want it because of now in the day.

1368
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: In the day they play that now leverage contract. You

1369
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You can't go to you can't

1370
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: go to your head coach or your gym and say, look,

1371
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm sick or I gotta I got something wrong with

1372
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: my brain or something like that brain trauma because of

1373
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: now you're messing with your money, you know what I mean.

1374
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: So it's tough. But at the end of the day, man,

1375
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you gotta take care of yourself because the NFL will

1376
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: not take care of you. They claim they take care

1377
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,919
Speaker 1: of player, they claim. I don't see it what would teams.

1378
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I would like to see teams, uh, take care of

1379
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: the players better with more of the trauma, brain trauma

1380
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: and like mental health because now you see Josh Gordon,

1381
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,479
Speaker 1: who he'd only come to the forefront when he failed

1382
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: the drug tests or something that happened. Now now we

1383
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: got a mental illness now because if you're trying to

1384
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: get out your situation, but if you would have told

1385
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: us at the beginning what was wrong, maybe maybe we

1386
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: could have helped. And it's tough for guys. And I

1387
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: think Josh Gordon maybe an example of a problem because

1388
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: he drops out of sight right now. I don't know

1389
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: even I don't know it's the league taking care of them?

1390
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: Is he trying to kick care of himself? Who's giving

1391
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: him help when they drop off the radar like that? Uh? Yeah,

1392
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily With Josh Gordon, I think that at

1393
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: this point the lead is helping him because he has

1394
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: a deep rooted issue as something could have been from football,

1395
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: could have been from childhood. But the thing is you

1396
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: got attack it, man, because once you've done with the game,

1397
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: the game is done with you, right, you know what

1398
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean? It ain't no coming back and that's my story, man.

1399
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: It's just we got to put the shame in the silence.

1400
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: Now it's too silent. We got to talk about it

1401
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: and deal with it. Also with former NFL tight end

1402
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: Packers tight end Drew Michael Finley. Pure sports Recovery, where's

1403
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: at a Southern copy Peer Sports Recovery is in Oxnard, California.

1404
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: It's an hour outside south of LA And what is it?

1405
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: That's a clinic. When I say you go out there,

1406
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: it's like you look like you're going on Vaca because

1407
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: it's like it's three or four homes, a million dollar homes.

1408
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: Guess what, right, when you step out the back door,

1409
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: your feet is in the sand. Excellent. So but what

1410
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: goes on there? What is the recovery process? The recovery process?

1411
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: I went there. We've done a brain mapping and I've

1412
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: done it's called narrow feedback where they've seen the blood

1413
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: and seen the bruises on my head. So they attacked

1414
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: it and they can show you everything in your brain.

1415
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Some guys that hate it. A guy like me, I

1416
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see what the hell

1417
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: is going on in my head? I'm sorry. Yeah, Like

1418
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: with me, I've ducked my head to the left, so

1419
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: I had I got scarring on my left side, and

1420
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: so I try to attack that every chance I get,

1421
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: because if we put you can't go put liquor. You

1422
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: can't go put you know what I mean, you can't

1423
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: go do the the drugs that normal people can do.

1424
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: When you have a brain, when you have brain trauma,

1425
01:05:54,320 --> 01:06:00,040
Speaker 1: well how do they attack it them? Yeah, it's like

1426
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the narrow feedback. They put the stencils on your head. Uh,

1427
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: and they put a screen down. Um, they put a

1428
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: TV in front of you, and you look at the TV,

1429
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: and they can tell all the little major impulsive spots

1430
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: where you know what I mean, I got the spots

1431
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: where I got bad anxiety. And they attack it and

1432
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: put these stencils on and pushed all these all these

1433
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 1: things back in your brain that you you lost playing

1434
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: football or you dealt with that as a kid. That's

1435
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: really interesting because the areas of your you said yours

1436
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: are anxiety, Yes, it doesn't. And if somebody else has

1437
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: the spot in a different spot, they could be manifested

1438
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: into aggressive or angry or sad or whatever emotion or

1439
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: mental state you can name, depending on where that concussion

1440
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: took place right, and and that's the thing, man. I

1441
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: attacked it probably twice a day because I wanted to

1442
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: man my terminology. Everything switched over. My anger came down,

1443
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was more, I was happy.

1444
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't press over and emotion over small things. I

1445
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: was very emotional before all of this. But now, man,

1446
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: life is awesome. Um, I got natural energy. I'm loving life.

1447
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't ask for more.

1448
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Can't they measure progress like somehow quantitatively as well as

1449
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: you're feeling better, which absolutely now now as not dysfunction.

1450
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm up seventy two percent. Earlier I was forty

1451
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: four percent. I'm up now, um and now I can

1452
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? We can do anything you want, um,

1453
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: and I will be I mean, like I said, no

1457
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: to uh brain trauma is eating all organic. That's what

1458
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: we do out there. We eat. I went out ten days,

1463
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: we're with your Mic Finley, former NFL tight end. One

1464
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: more question about this, and he's talking about the Pure

1465
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Sports Recovery program that he's involved in. How many players

1466
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: do you think need this? Former players? Yeah, former players.

1467
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you literally, legitimately, all of them, all

1468
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: of them. I'm just going to be evaluated. Correct, It's

1469
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: got to be evaluated just because especially if you got

1470
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: over four or five six years, you got some type

1471
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: of hatch ONMA. Just being honest, and and that's what

1472
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I try to preach these guys is that when when

1473
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: you fill these things, it's like, let's get help, you

1474
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: know what i mean. Don't let it linger around. Because

1475
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: the more you let it linger around and you put

1476
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: liquor on it and you put all this stuff that

1477
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: you do on the outside on it, it's getting worse. Hey,

1486
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,360

01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: you would be back there. Yeah. He always treated like

1488
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime this Saint Tom Brady and

1489
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Belichick here. You don't come here, not seven nine times.

1490
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: So you gotta embraced us in front of you. And

1491
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: you had a good group there Green Bay, right, we

1492
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: had a we had an awesome quarterback receiving corps man.

1493
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: We had to host Shebang that year and uh we

1494
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: we we we met, We got to peak and um

1495
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: we got that ring. What was Rogers like to play

1496
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: with catch passes from? Uh? He was tough. Um, he's

1497
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys. He's an icon guy, so he's

1498
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: an icon of the NFL, so he knows and that's

1499
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: the thing. He used that as leverage. So missing the

1500
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: ball from him is like missing the ball from like yeah,

1501
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: some type of god. Yeah, he'll look at you crazy.

1502
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: It's yeah, there's only one person's fault it is. It's

1503
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: not the guy we threw it. He will give you

1504
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: the most odd look again, I'll tell him, please don't

1505
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: look at me like thank you. And what about Mike

1506
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy replaced? Now I thought he was almost iconic up

1507
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: there in Green Bay. Apparently he was. Man. The thing

1508
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: about that, man, I am. I wasn't a fan of

1509
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: that actually because of the guy brought you a super Bowl.

1510
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,360

Speaker 1: talking about some of the Bill's previous Super Bowls. That's

1548
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll topic. It's a runaway in the voting.

1549
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: What was your favorite Bills super Bowl? Ninety percent of

1550
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: you say it was super Bowl twenty five against the Giants,

1551
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: Only four percent say super Bowl twenty six, four percent

1552
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: say super Bowl twenty seven, and only two percent say

1553
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,839
Speaker 1: the final one twenty five years ago. This week against

1554
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys here in Atlanta. Got some action down

1555
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet on that question. Steve, your favorite Bill

1556
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl? What you got from Darryl f twenty nine?

1557
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Come on, it's like asking what's your favorite type of poison?

1558
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 1: If I had to choose, it has to be twenty

1559
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 1: five against the Giants, because that's the one where there

1560
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: was a real shot to win it. Is it really poison?

1561
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well? I don't look at it

1562
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: as poison, you know to me, and I get it

1563
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: for tough losses, and I want you to respond to

1564
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: this when I'm done, not until I come. Four tough losses,

1565
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: for brutal losses, one close one and a couple of blowaways,

1566
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: and yet each one, Steve, I look at as sort

1567
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: of the the capstone of a remarkable year, a remarkable season,

1568
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: very successful season. You've got people come I've seen it

1569
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: here today. You've got people coming up to you and

1570
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 1: invariably to come up. The four bill super Bowl appearances.

1571
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: You know this. Everybody says, man, that's amazing, going to

1572
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: four street super Bowls that don't never be done again.

1573
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: So I kind of look at those four super Bowl losses.

1574
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: Is yes, bitterly disappointing, twenty five in particular, bitterly disappointing

1575
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: the way it went down, But they all capped a

1576
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,560
Speaker 1: very good football season, the likes of which have not

1577
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: been seen around the league much since then or before

1578
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,560
Speaker 1: that for that matter. Yeah, why can't we look like that?

1579
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: They were unique, It was a unique time, They were

1580
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 1: unique teams. We certainly had our share of good breaks

1581
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 1: to make it happen as well. You look at the Patriots,

1582
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: the great run they've had. They were an off sides

1583
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: penalty away from losing not being here this week, you know,

1584
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had them beat and d four lines up

1585
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: off sides. It's we had those share our share of

1586
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: good fortune in those years too, and certainly some in

1587
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um. But I think too if there was

1588
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 1: something that was the hallmark of that team, those teams

1589
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: that I was on, thinking back, and I've never really

1590
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: thought about it like this before, but I'll say it, um.

1591
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: That team that I was on was dominant in the

1592
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: championship games, the conference championship games, not just the fifty

1593
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: one to three game, but also the next year in

1594
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos held John Elway and his team to

1595
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: seven points. The third one against the Kansas City Chiefs

1596
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: with Miami. Third one was at Miami down there. We

1597
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 1: beat them soundly when they had home field advantage throughout

1598
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And then the fourth one against the Chiefs

1599
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: coming into Buffalo with Joe Montan and Marcus Allen. Um,

1600
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: they had some great, all time great players on that

1601
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: team and we beat them soundly as well as I

1602
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: remember it. My teams that I was on that went

1603
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl they played their best football, unfortunately

1604
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl appearances, but they play their best

1605
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: football in the conference championships. We were we were really

1606
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: tend to beat in those and many games up to

1607
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: those in championship games too. Here's my point. I get it.

1608
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: We are focused on championships. This week is about the

1609
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: championship on Sunday. But you know, I'm at those media

1610
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: events last night talking to the players that I knew

1611
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: from their Buffalo ten years, including Nickel, Robie Coleman, and

1612
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan. On the other side of all of them,

1613
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: and each one of them, I congratulated that they're here.

1614
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen Sunday, but congratulations, you

1615
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 1: made it to the super Bowl. Right, That's an accomplishment.

1616
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: It's so hard the league is, and we see it

1617
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: all the time. You say it, and it kind of

1618
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: goes in one year out the other, and it's kind

1619
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: of a lunch. It is so hard to win games.

1620
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: You think about putting together a football team made up

1621
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: of elite athletes, guys who have gone through a vetting

1622
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: process like none other, like none other. I say, maybe

1623
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,879
Speaker 1: basketball has the same vetting process. Maybe, but in football

1624
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: there's a physical component to it that goes beyond what

1625
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: basketball all asks of its players. Certainly, if this vetting

1626
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: process and all these guys have gone through in their

1627
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: career to not only get to the NFL, but to

1628
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: stay in the NFL and to be in the NFL

1629
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: on a team this good, on teams this good, it

1630
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: says something about how difficult it is to assemble a

1631
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,879
Speaker 1: group of guys like that and a group of coaches

1632
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: that are accomplished enough to be at that level where

1633
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: they can be on top of the game, watch a game,

1634
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,839
Speaker 1: make adjustments during the game, have a depth of knowledge

1635
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: of their players and their their offense and their defensive

1636
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: schemes to adjust on the fly to get the go

1637
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: and then have the ball bounce your way and to

1638
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: and as you know, these guys come and talk talking

1639
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: to us about how these teams prepare for these games,

1640
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,560
Speaker 1: for any situation, for any eventuality, to put all that

1641
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,600
Speaker 1: together and then have it to go your way and

1642
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: not have an official blow a call, right you know.

1643
01:16:54,520 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's so hard to get here, and you know,

1644
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: once you get here. I think for a lot of teams,

1645
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: maybe not all of the teams I was on maybe

1646
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: a couple where you get there and you can kind

1647
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: of take a deep breath, say wow, you know you

1648
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: did it, and you forget that just getting there isn't

1649
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: the isn't the isn't the goal to win it. Let's

1650

Speaker 1: hear from you your most your favorite of the Bill's

1651

1652
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: most of you like super Bowl twenty five. But you're

1653
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: struggling I think with this question, which is Okay, it's

1654
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: not our it's not our best Twitter pole. I just

1656
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: to the Twitter poll. I've become becomes kind of a

01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: I've become kind of a scoffer. You've got yes, I

1658
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: sit on the fence and throw stones into the arena.

Speaker 1: at three in the morning flying to Atlanta on the

1661
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: plane thinking about Twitter pole topics. That's you. That was

1662
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 1: me yesterday. Me. I'm up on the fence throwing darts

1663
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: at it, trying to poke hole in it while you know,

1664
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: not really contribute. I have really become a part of

1665
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,959
Speaker 1: the media right now. That is my second guessing exactly

1666
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: finding fall with everything. Yeah, aged part of the media,

1667
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: I have fit right in completely completely, throwing guards at

1668
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: those in the arena trying to come up with you

1669
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: got Twitter polls. I was part of the media last night,

1670
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: and I have to say I wasn't totally proud of

1671
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: our group, but we were there inside the State Farm

1672
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 1: Arena right next door where they had the Super Bowl

1673
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: opening night. They called it first the Rams and then

1674
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots got a chance to talk to HIMNIKEL. Robie Coleman,

1675
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: he was not drafted. He was an undrafted rookie free agent.

1676
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: The deal was he played at USC remember and Doug

1677
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: Marrone Syracuse team played USC in the middle ends. Robie

1678
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 1: Coleman had a great game. Marone got him here and

1679
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: brought him, signed him and he had a couple of

1680
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: good years with the Buffalo Bills. Of course, Robie Coleman's

1681
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: in the news. You heard John Clayton talk about him

1682
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 1: with his comments well, first of all, his penalty in

1683
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, which he owns, as you said,

1684
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I love it, yep. And his comments yesterday about Tom

1685
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Brady when he talked about Tom Brady is uh, you know,

1686
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: age is definitely taken a toll and he talked about

1687
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: I always got that Buffalo Bill's blood that knows how

1688
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: to handle Tom Brady. Well. I talked with the cal

1689
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman about it yesterday at Super Bowl Opening Night

1690
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: and asked him about being in the media spotlight. With

1691
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: all this media around this week here at the super Bowl,

1692
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: you have become the center of attention. I'm sure you

1693
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: didn't think it would happen that way, But it has,

1694
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Yes, it has the way that it's fallen.

1695
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: I have been come to center of attention. But it's

1696
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: all good though. I'm having fun with it. I'm taking

1697
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: it all in. Have nothing negative to say about it.

1698
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: The play in New Orleans, big play, and you know

1699
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: more than anybody that's a football play. It didn't go

1700
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: your way, but that's a football player. You can't control

1701
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: what happened. Nope. I can't control what the revs. I

1702
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: can't control the revs calls. Um again, Like you said,

1703
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: I made a football play. I did what I thought

1704
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: it was the best for my team. I'll play fast

1705
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 1: and that's all I can say. There's a reaction to

1706
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: its surprise you Yes, yeah, I didn't know that so

1707
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: many people will react the way they reacted over a call. Yeah,

1708
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: and even goes on here tonight too, right, yes, yes, yeah,

1709
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: it overlapped to tonight too as well. Yeah. Ye. Now

1710
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: you've been interviewed a couple of times and you've had

1711
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,799
Speaker 1: something to say about the quarterback you'll face on Sunday.

1712
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 1: A lot of it goes back to your time with

1713
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, right, yes, what do you know about him?

1714
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: What do you think about going up against him? Great quarterback? Um? Uh,

1715
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: he can make all the throws as usual. Uh. He

1716
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: put his teammates in great positions. So you know, just

1717
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: big respect for him and that team. Uh in the

1718
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Um, nothing nothing negative to say about

1719
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: tom uh. Think think you know, he's the face of

1720
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: the league almost so, I mean, you know, to go

1721
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: against a guy like that, it's an honor, but it's

1722
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: also a great challenge as well. So I just can't

1723
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: wait to go out there and actually go against him

1724
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: and you know, face him again, you know, uh like

1725
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 1: old times. Yeah, it's a challenge you and face before

1726
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: and come up big in something him right right right?

1727
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: He was one of the he was one of the

1728
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback that I ever that I ever went twice

1729
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: against twice a year. Um, that's you know, looking at

1730
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. You know you appreciate him, you know, uh

1731
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: from a standpoint of uh, you know how to make checks.

1732
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: He need to see things that other quarterbacks really don't see.

1733
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: And so when you when you go against other quarterbacks

1734
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: other than Tom, you kind of you know, uh, you pray,

1735
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 1: you pray on quarterbacks like that. With what's been said,

1736
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: with what you were saying about Brady, do you anticipate

1737
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: that maybe he will keep an eye on you and

1738
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 1: maybe target you a little bit. Maybe so maybe so

1739
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: it all be it all be good, though, it all

1740
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: be good because we compete in so I have a

1741
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: chance to get more deflections or more interceptions. I know

1742
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: that much. You said something earlier in the day or

1743
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: maybe last night about kind of carrying the Buffalo approach

1744
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady into this game Sundays. Yeah, right, yes, yes,

1745
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Um? You know in Buffalo we rivals.

1746
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 1: We was rivals in Buffalo. And one thing about Buffalo,

1747
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: if you can beat New England, you can go to

1748
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You can go deep into the playoffs. So

1749
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: we're in the Super Bowl now and if we had

1750
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 1: that mentality coming in into the game with that same approach,

1751
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: did I feel like as a team collectively we got

1752
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: a great chance to win. I'm happy for you, Mannkel.

1753
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman got a chance to talk to him last

1754
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: night in the RAMS portion of Super Bowl Opening Night,

1755
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: and the one thing I can say Steve with certainty

1756
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: is that, like any good corner back in the NFL

1757
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: and the Kell, Robie Coleman knows how to backpedal. He

1758
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: was in full backpedal mode about his comments about Brady.

1759
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: The comments were talking about Tom. You play against Tom

1760
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and he has a great quarterback earlier in the day,

1761
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: you appreciate Yeah, I don't know. He probably. I don't know.

1762
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be that somebody got to

1763
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: Nickel and say, hey, you got to back off that.

1764
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 1: But if they did or they didn't, he definitely backed

1765
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,679
Speaker 1: off and everybody was kind of talking about it like, Yeah,

1766
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: Brady was asked about Robie Coleman's comments and he kind

1767
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: of took the fifth right. He said, I have no

1768
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: comment on that, with a smile on his face. Um, look,

1769
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 1: if that's the biggest controverse have Super Bowl fifty three,

1770
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: so be it um, I like Nkel Robie Coleman, I

1771
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: like you know what else, And listening to him and

1772
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: talking about getting ready to play and the buffalo approach,

1773
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: it struck me out. That's what how cornerbacks live, right.

1774
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: They they're challenged on every snap they go to the

1775
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and it's man on man. It's a

1776
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: challenge every snap. And so for him to say something

1777
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: for Brady. I asked him, you worried about Brady coming

1778
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: at you? And he goes, no, That's what they do, right,

1779
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: That's what they do. That's why you I love talking

1780
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: to corners about that. It isn't an It's an enormous

1781
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: responsibility and they feel it on every play. I think

1782
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: it's it's great. It's a great challenge for these guys

1783
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: and they live up to. It's a great mental frame

1784
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: that those guys on in the defensive backfields really live

1785
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: with all the time. It's kind of you can even

1786
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: tell when you talk to him like like him, I

1787
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: mean everything. They compete all the time. Every step of

1788
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: their day, they're trying to do something in competition and

1789
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: it serves them well when they get on the field

1790
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: because you know, somebody's stepping up, and get an elite

1791
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: athlete stepping up, and they're gonna try and in this confrontation,

1792
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna win. Somebody the world. They live in twenty

1793
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: four hours a day, and they they're really good at it.

1794
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: They're really good at it. I like Nicole. I felt

1795
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: bad for him we first came across him. As they

1796
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: said earlier in the show, he was besieged by meeting people.

1797
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: The three to five thousand meeting people there. Everybody knew

1798
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: that he was the story last night, as he was

1799
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago after the NFC Championship game.

1800
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 1: It beats a sweat on his forehead. He was sipping

1801
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: water as hard as he could out of a water bottle.

1802
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: He needed that five minute break he took before we

1803
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: talked to him. And I love Nickel. I like his competitiveness,

1804
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 1: like the way he plays. I wish him well, and

1805
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna be challenged. He'll be challenged to

1806
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: see it a lot. And then these nights like last night,

1807
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: I was served much of any purpose. I mean, you

1808
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: get some good sound there from Nicole, but does give

01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back, Jim Murphy.

1837
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: See Cascara is One Bills Live from the super Bowl

1838
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. You did the super Bowl last year in Minneapolis, right,

1839
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: you were by yourself for the show. How does this

1840
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: experience compare so far after almost a couple of days.

1841
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: It's it's much better. Much more space here in the

1842
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 1: convention center Atlanta, the redder than the more. Yeah, having

1843
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: having somebody actually works next. No, it's been good. Right,

1844
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm going I did the Super Bowl by myself two

1845
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: years ago in Houston, and it was hard. It's hard

1846
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: to be by yourself. It is scrambling to find guests.

1847
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: You're you're alone in a crowd, right, you know, and

1848
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: because there's fifty thousand people here and everybody's looking for guests, right,

1849
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and uh so that but last year we got. We

1850
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: got a lot of good guests, got a lot of

1851
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: we had. It's a ton of people. For that reason,

1852
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 1: it was good. But this has been great. I like this.

1853
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot more space. Yeah, it's a better facility.

1854
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: I think you know who was making the rounds here.

1855
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll get him as a guest, Rob Bryan. Yeah.

1856
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: What was the defensive assistant? What was he? What was

1857
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: his linebackers coach? Was he? Yeah? I can't remember. He

1858
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: was a linebacker coach and then he de facto play

1859
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: calling defensive play callers. I like trop good guy to talk.

1860
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing not to dislike. They had their defense didn't

1861
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: play up to its potential. I don't think it had

1862
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: a different style of coaching. I think a different approach

1863
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. Hey, we talked a lot with a

1864
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of players last night at the Super Bowl opening night,

1865
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: including players from the New England Patriots, including and we

1866
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: did I did mostly go to the former Buffalo Bills.

1867
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,799
Speaker 1: They were the most successible, the most agreeable to do interviews.

1868
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: One of them Chris Hogan. We talked with former Bills

1869
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: receiver Chris Hogan, who's wrapped up another pretty productive view

1870
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots, and we talked with Chris

1871
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: Hogan about kind of the three stages of his NFL

1872
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: career so far. Here it is. I was thinking, you're career,

1873
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: it's almost like three action know, the Miami phase, the

1874
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo phase, and now the Patriots base. You ever look

1875
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: at it like that? I mean I try to, you know,

1876
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: every now and then take a step back and you know,

1877
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: look at where I've where I've been, and you know

1878
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: where I've come, and um, you know it's been a

1879
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: long rather There's been ups and downs, but you know,

1880
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: it just worked really hard to get to this moment

1881
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: in these games. Mostly ups since you've been with these guys, right, yeah, yeah,

1882
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: mostly ups, some downs and but you know these this

1883
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: team is great. I mean we work really hard and

1884
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, the year and the year out, you know,

1885
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: try to get to this game. People see the Patriots

1886
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: here and you know I would do in Buffalo. They

1887
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: see the Patriots here a year and think, well, of

1888
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: course the Patriots in the super Bowl. Maybe we don't

1889
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: appreciate the work and the grit that goes into it.

1890
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 1: Is that I mean, I think, um, you know, the

1891
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,560
Speaker 1: guys that play in the league. They understand what, you know,

1892
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: what it takes to get to this game. And um,

1893
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 1: for the outside people looking in, you know, it seems like, oh,

1894
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots are just playing Super Bowl, but

1895
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, it starts in April and we've worked really hard,

1896
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: and you know, it's there's been some ups and downs

1897
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 1: and it's never gonna be perfect, but um, you know,

1898
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: it just never stops. You know, you worked, you worked

1899
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: tireslely from April until this moment, and you get into

1900
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: February and this is what you try to play for,

1901
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: and this is the game that you want to get to,

1902
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: and um, you know, at the end of day, it's

1903
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: just really proud for our guys and and how hard

1904
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: we've worked to get here. What do you personally want

1905
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: to make happing on Sunday? I just want to do

1906
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: my job, you know, I want to go out there

1907
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:21,680
Speaker 1: and play the best sixteen minutes of football that I

1908
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: played all year, and hopefully that'll be, um, you know,

1909
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:27,639
Speaker 1: good enough, and hopefully we'll be able to put our

1910
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: team in, you know, a better position to win the

1911
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 1: football game. Great game, Thanks, thank you, We're back. John

1912
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 1: Murphy's detach. That was Chris Hogan. I do believe in

1913
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: we you know again, in that kind of weird interview atmosphere,

1914
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 1: you can't get into stuff. But I was thinking about

1915
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan and his career Steve seven to eleven, right,

1916
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 1: he's made a He's made a made he became a

1917
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: star through hard knocks right seven eleven period with the

1918
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, Bill signed him, he becomes I think, a

1919
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,680
Speaker 1: not just a funny name, you know guy, but a

1920
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: real NFL player. I think during his time in Buffalo,

1921
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years in Buffalo and not a critical part,

1922
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:03,280
Speaker 1: but an important part of the offense. Then he goes

1923
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 1: into England producing and I'm gonna say this because they've

1924
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 1: said it a couple of times. His production is pretty

1925
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 1: similar to what he did with the Bills in terms

1926
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: of number of catches, but these six are very similar,

1927
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 1: very similar. But he's on a championship caliber team and

1928
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: it has been and an important part of that team too.

1929
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: It's a pretty interesting career for a guy who played

1930
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: lacrosse primaryartly in college at Penn State. He's got a

1931
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 1: story to tell and it was impossible in that crazy

1932
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: atmosphere last night to kind of get him to reflect much.

1933
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 1: But there's no reflection going on in any of those

1934
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,719
Speaker 1: interviews last night, right, Yeah, they weren't. They weren't heartfelt.

1935
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 1: I wanted people crying, all right, But that's the way

1936
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,559
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, you get guys like and it's

1937
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: a real testament to a lot of these guys have

1938
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 1: stories that are the same ilk as Chris Hogan were.

1939
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 1: They you know, they just kind of hung in there

1940
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 1: through some tough challenges. Chris Hogan was a guy who

1941
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: switched sports and kind of tried to get it done

1942
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 1: and was good enough, smart enough, and tenacious enough to

1943
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 1: make it happen. It. Football's a complicated sport, and it's

1944
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 1: hard for guys to act clamate themselves in a lot

1945
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,760
Speaker 1: of ways to being a specific role playing athlete like

1946
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 1: Hogan is a lot of guys, it just doesn't translate

1947
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: from their skill set and so but there's a lot

1948
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 1: of guys who have kind of hung in there through

1949
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: tough times in their careers to get to the point

1950
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: where they're at. And that room last night, and these

1951
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: locker rooms around the NFL are full of them. Chris

1952
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: Hogan's a really good example of guys who, you know,

1953
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 1: somebody who made something out of what a lot of

1954
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: people thought was no shot. Yeah yeah, going back to

1955
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 1: even before he got the NFL, right yeah, I mean

1956
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: when he plays lacrosse at Penn State and finishes up there,

1957
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 1: goes to Monmouth right in New Jersey, plays play football,

1958
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: you're a football undrafted, makes a name for himself in

1959
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 1: training camp with the Dolphins. The Bills old regime took notice,

1960
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:46,759
Speaker 1: signed him in a contract, made a name for himself

1961
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I do think here he became a real

1962
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 1: pro football player to the point where another team, in

1963
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 1: this case the Patriots, were willing to give him some

1964
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 1: give him considerable money to come and be part of

1965
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 1: their teams. It's just an interesting kind of three step

1966
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: process through his NFL career. Did they followed the you know,

1967
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:05,680
Speaker 1: the normal path draft pick playing as a rookie moving on?

1968
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, the contract he signed with the New England

1969
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: Patriots was a life changer. Uh and and and he's

1970
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: seen every cent of it. You know, it wasn't none

1971
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: of it was probably guaranteed, but he saw every cent

1972
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: of that first contract. He' probably knew a second one

1973
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 1: well into his second one now, So um, that's the

1974
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of trajectory that you hope for as a kid

1975
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 1: that comes out. I want to give this a shot.

1976
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: I want to try and you get to that segment

1977
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're making you know, seven

1978
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: figures and U and have made a reputation for championship

1979
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 1: and win in championships and all that goes with it. So, yeah,

1980
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: it's really an interesting story Chris Hogan has. And to me,

1981
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 1: this gets back to Brady too. We'll ask Mark shile

1982
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Earth about it when he joins us in a minute

1983
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: or two. They'm yeah, Brady makes the receivers. You've said it.

1984
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: Brady makes the receivers. He makes Hogan into a in

1985
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:59,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good productive NFL receiver. Julian Edelman again not

1986
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 1: a G eight backstory in he's not a premium draft pick.

1987
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 1: But if he makes Julian Edelman into a very very

1988
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: productive player and in a dangerous weapon. He does it

1989
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of guys. And he had some other

1990
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: guys too. Listen, when he had some real guys outside

1991
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: like Randy Moss. They were they scored five hundred points

1992
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: a season, you know, I mean they were like they

1993
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: were knocking it. They went, they went eighteen and oh yeah,

1994
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, um he was ready to do that for

1995
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. Right, they were exactly they were gonna change,

1996
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 1: They were gonna evolve in a different way. Maybe they

1997
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be running the ball forty five times a game

1998
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: or forty plus times a game these last three or

1999
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,719
Speaker 1: four games. If they have Josh Gordon on their roster,

2000
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he changes him that much. But when

2001
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: they lose him, they gotta evolve, and they did very quickly,

2002
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: and they kept winning games. Yeah, they're an interesting team.

2003
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: I know we hate them, right, that was yesterday's show.

2004
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 1: How much? How many ways do you hate the Patriots?

2005
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: But they're interesting there. It's a compelling story that as

2006
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,640
Speaker 1: this week goes along, I found myself more interested in

2007
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: how they got here? How did they get it? They're

2008
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna win the game? Oh there it is, Boom. I'm

2060
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: So you're a familiar attendee of Super Bowls right as

2061
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: a player, as a media member, this one seemed to

2062
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: be going okay, although they're a little bit worried about

2063
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:16,479
Speaker 1: the weather here in Atlanta, I know, I mean, we're

2064
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna get an inch and a half of snow and

2065
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, shutdown, sait. What is if you live

2066
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,799
Speaker 1: in Denver? Right, like right Buffalo? I mean right, yeah, yeah, exact.

2067
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that I don't understand. Why is

2068
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: it that when you get a snowstorm people feel like

2069
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: they had the necessity of of like going to the

2070
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 1: grocery store to get milk. Yeah, bread, I don't understand that,

2071
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:37,680
Speaker 1: Like what's the milk to snow ratio? You guys are

2072
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,080
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, Like how much snow do you have to

2073
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: get before you go get a couple of gallons of milk.

2074
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 1: We had a mayor twenty years ago who advised people

2075
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: to go and get a six pack of beer when

2076
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 1: they got really bad as yeah, as opposed to the milks. Right, yeah,

2077
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 1: it's good yeats the milk? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Three

2078
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: time Super Bowl champion, one of them against the Bill

2079
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 1: super Bowl twenty six. I'm in the snowy Minnesota, cold

2080
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota that we do you remember about that game in

2081
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,560
Speaker 1: that year for the Redskins? I mean it was it

2082
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 1: was a phenomenal year, and obviously Joe Gibbs was I mean,

2083
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: he's one of the most regal people I've ever just

2084
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: forget about coaches, just one of the most regal people

2085
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: I've ever been around, and just a great leader. But

2086
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: we had such a good team. It was such a

2087
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: dominant run that year. You know, when you start to

2088
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 1: think about the fact that as an offense we played

2089
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: nineteen games against some obviously some great competition, and in

2090
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: nineteen games gave up a total of nine total sacks.

2091
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: We went through the playoffs between Atlanta, Detroit, and then

2092
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo without giving up a quarterback hit. I mean, it's

2093
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 1: like it's a remarkable run that we went on and

2094
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:49,719
Speaker 1: we had a you know, it was just a complete

2095
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: football team. That's why I always you know, I always

2096
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 1: find it fascinating offense or defense or this. I'm like,

2097
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: complete teams or what win championships? You gotta have a

2098
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: you gotta have a great football team. And then I

2099
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: think the chemistry aspect of it. We don't we don't

2100
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 1: talk enough about it, but liking each other and your

2101
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 1: ability to sacrifice and play for one another, to me

2102
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: is what really separates the teams that win it from

2103
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 1: the teams that don't win. Yeah, you talk about being

2104
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 1: a complete team. The Chiefs found that out the hard way,

2105
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: not being able to fit close the deal when well

2106
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 1: they could have closed if the guy wouldn't have lined

2107
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:24,880
Speaker 1: up off side. But their defense in the end and

2108
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: overtime was the one thing that the people criticized him

2109
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 1: for during the season, and it came up and it

2110
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: kept him from coming to the Super Bowl and their

2111
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: lacka ability to get a stop three third and tens.

2112
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: They couldn't get a stopped. On the other hand, the

2113
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: Rams kind of just kept plugging away. Certainly they got

2114
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:39,760
Speaker 1: the benefit of the call, but that didn't win the

2115
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: game for them. There was still a lot of football

2116
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: to be played after that non call pass interference. So

2117
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 1: you're you're completely right, and that's one of the things

2118
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,920
Speaker 1: I remember about the Super Bowl twenty six. First of all,

2119
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,679
Speaker 1: I'll chime in with what you said about Joe Gibbs.

2120
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,720
Speaker 1: I thought that team, that Redskins team we faced was

2121
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: the best of the four teams we faced in that

2122
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 1: run we had when we went to fourth straight. That

2123
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: was the best team I thought we faced. And that

2124
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 1: night in Minneapolis, it was It really was um Mark

2125
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: rippon um at the game of his life, no question,

2126
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 1: but he had the season of his life. But also

2127
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 1: he was just it looked like you guys had twenty

2128
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 1: guys protecting him sometimes, and it looked like there was

2129
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 1: just you could even get near him. It looked like, uh,

2130
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 1: it looked like presidential security walking through a crowd. It

2131
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: was pretty impressive. And that's what I remember about that

2132
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: night that how well your whole team played, not just

2133
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:30,559
Speaker 1: your offensive line with pass protection of the whole team.

2134
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: It was pretty. It was pretty. So it's always funny

2135
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: because we boil it down. You know, we look at

2136
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,759
Speaker 1: pass protection. We always we always look at offensive lines,

2137
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,640
Speaker 1: and that's a it's a complete team thing. I mean,

2138
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 1: it's the tight ends. Donny Warren one of the great

2139
01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: blocking tight ends that this league has ever seen. Ernest

2140
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 1: Bonner Is he was a just an exceptional running back,

2141
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: but a great blitz pickup guy. Like every it's quarterback

2142
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: getting round of the ball. It's receivers beating one on

2143
01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 1: one and beating press coverage. It's you know, it's to

2144
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: be a great team that way. Everybody has to do

2145
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: their job and everybody has to understand the importance of

2146
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,439
Speaker 1: doing their job. So it's one of the things that

2147
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. And not to be old dude, get

2148
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 1: off my long guy, but the inner workings of a

2149
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: football team. For like, we cater to you know, to

2150
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: deva wide receivers at times, and we talk about it

2151
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, Antonio Brown has been big

2152
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 1: in the news. You understand that all ten of us

2153
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: have to do our job. For you to even sniff

2154
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: a football, like like, where have we lost that connectivity

2155
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: as a team sport. And that's one of the things

2156
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: I love about the National Football League and about the

2157
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: NFL in general. It's the greatest team sport there is.

2158
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: Like to be great, everybody has to everybody has to

2159
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 1: work in concert with one another. Offense, defense, within the offense,

2160
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 1: within the defense, special teams, everything. I've never heard, Like,

2161
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing that kills me. But the overtime rule.

2162
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: I wish if Patrick Mahomes I knew as soon as

2163
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: the coin flip, you know, I knew that Tom Brady

2164
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 1: got it and we and the Kansas City was gonna

2165
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: lose it and both offense should get it. And I'm like,

2166
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: wait stop, Like I have never one time heard of

2167
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: coach say, ever, hey, it's about one phase of the game.

2168
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: Just offense today, defense, take day off, specialtives. We don't

2169
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 1: need you. No, it's all three phases of the game.

2170
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 1: That's how you win in the National Football League. And

2171
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: they had three opportunities Kansas City did to stop the

2172
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 1: New England Patriots three third down and ten opportunities, and

2173
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 1: they took a dump in their helmet all three times.

2174
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 1: That's not like, that's not a rule issue, that's a

2175
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 1: chiefs issue, right, right, So I don't I don't buy

2176
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: any of that. Have one more question for you about

2177
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty six, and this happens a Super bowls

2178
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: the last night opening night, all the malooney coming out

2179
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: of the media event. In the run up to Super

2180
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty six, the Bills had a defensive line coach

2181
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 1: who publicly kind of tells and made fun of the

2182
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,599
Speaker 1: of the Washington offensive line. Right, Was that a blip

2183
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 1: on the screen? Were you guys aware of that? And

2184
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it was a factor in the game,

2185
01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 1: but uh, certainly you had to Actually you're actually Joe

2186
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:05,439
Speaker 1: Gibbs was There was very few times. I've never heard

2187
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Gibbs utter a cuss word. Never did he.

2188
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 1: I've seen him be very angry a couple of times,

2189
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, tip over a table in the locker room

2190
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 1: when we were playing well that kind of Gatorady table.

2191
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,160
Speaker 1: It was as angry as I've ever seen him. Because

2192
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 1: the Hogs were literally the backbone of that organization. They

2193
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:33,560
Speaker 1: are what he built his football team around. And I

2194
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: know it was done tongue in cheek. But Saturday night

2195
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:40,520
Speaker 1: before he took us to the remote area of Minnesota,

2196
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere Saturday night and we had our Saturday

2197
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 1: night meetings as everybody does. And he literally read the

2198
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 1: article and he went guy by guy and he was like,

2199
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 1: we talk about like Tom Brady being you know, the

2200
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder and stuff. Joe Gibbs was genuine

2201
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 1: when Lee angry and upset and he felt like the

2202
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:09,559
Speaker 1: cornerstone of our football team, the backbone of our football team.

2203
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 1: You that what's made what's made us great. You insulted

2204
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,760
Speaker 1: something that we take great pride in. And he was

2205
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't for show. He was genuinely pissed off about it.

2206
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:26,760
Speaker 1: And he read the article. Jo Jakobe this is what

2207
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 1: he said about Jo Jakobe this and it was I mean,

2208
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 1: he was so mad, he was so angry, like, oh

2209
01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: my gosh, like you could feel that energy and yeah,

2210
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:40,719
Speaker 1: it was. It was a huge factor. Let's talk Let's

2211
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,720
Speaker 1: talk about this, this coaching, these coaching in this game,

2212
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and also Sean McVeigh. A lot has been

2213
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: said about him. He's just wonder ken young guy. He's

2214
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: just turning thirty three, and even now he's got guys

2215
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 1: who you know, know him, who have coached with him

2216
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:57,600
Speaker 1: for a year or two, all of a sudden now

2217
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 1: they're head coaching. And you said, he an interesting point.

2218
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 1: It's it's really disrespectful to McVeigh to think these guys

2219
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: are him, or just because they're a young, offensive minded guy,

2220
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:09,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna remember him. And I've been in production meetings

2221
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: with him as well. Yeah, listen, the lights are all

2222
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:15,679
Speaker 1: on up there. He knows the numbers, he knows what's

2223
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 1: going on. He's far ahead of it mentally. I don't

2224
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: know these other guys that have been hired that have

2225
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: known him, but I'm telling you what, he's a unique individual.

2226
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: Now there, there's other guys are unique that you know,

2227
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:29,599
Speaker 1: the Kingsbury and all these other guys that have been

2228
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: hired because they're affiliated with him at some point in

2229
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 1: there for us, I don't know what kind of guys

2230
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 1: they are, but I'm telling you what, they're probably not

2231
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a Sean mcvagh. You said, it's been disrespectful

2232
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: for teams to think, hey, we're just gonna plug another

2233
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:41,680
Speaker 1: guy like that into art team and we're gonna be

2234
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: like there right, no, I have. It's funny you even

2235
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: bring up the word because I was talking about it

2236
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 1: on my radio show today. Endeaver completely disrespectful to Sean

2237
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 1: McVeigh to think that you just because you're young, Like

2238
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: there's there's a couple of things. I don't know that

2239
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: anybody is more connected to his football team then Wade

2240
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 1: Phillips is to the Rams or when he coached in

2241
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: Denver and he's seventy two years old, right keep to

2242
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 1: Leave was talking to him yesterday they put it on

2243
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Instagram or whatever, and he goes, how when did you

2244
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 1: know you were gonna be a great defensive coordin. He goes, man,

2245
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: I've been. He said something like I've been popping since

2246
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: my demo, Like this is Wade. You're right, and they're

2247
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 1: howling right, But Wade is like wage, seventy two years old,

2248
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: completely connected to his guys. They love playing for Wade.

2249
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: So my thing is, you can either communicate or you

2250
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: can't communicate, whether you're seventy two or whether you're thirty two.

2251
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: If you have the gift of communication and you can

2252
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: connect with your players, then you have that gift. It does.

2253
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 1: Your age has nothing to do with it, and I

2254
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 1: think it's completely disrespectful to think because you're gonna hire

2255
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,920
Speaker 1: a young guy that bumped into Sean McBay while they

2256
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 1: were walking into the locker room, and that guy's gonna

2257
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:54,600
Speaker 1: be the same is completely disrespectful. I always tell my

2258
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 1: own kids as they were growing up, there's two types

2259
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: of people in the world. Those who energize the room

2260
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,600
Speaker 1: when they walk into it and those who energize the

2261
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: room when they walk out of it. Yeah. McVeigh walks

2262
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: into a room and it's completely energized. He is like

2263
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,759
Speaker 1: I met I've met with him now in a production

2264
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:12,599
Speaker 1: meeting three different times over the course the last two

2265
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: years calling games for Fox, and every time he walks out,

2266
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've done nothing and I've accomplished nothing in

2267
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,599
Speaker 1: my life. Like this guy's thirty two years old. I've

2268
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: done nothing with my life. He is like, I aspire

2269
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 1: to be that guy. And I think the thing, you know,

2270
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:29,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of people have asked me about the differences

2271
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: between the two, you know, whether it's Belichick or McVay.

2272
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,719
Speaker 1: I think the similarities are probably what you should focus

2273
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:40,000
Speaker 1: on in that Like, they're completely different personality wise. But

2274
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 1: I've played against Bill Belichick a ton when he was

2275
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants and I was with Washington, and when

2276
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:46,560
Speaker 1: I was with Denver and he was, you know, with

2277
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 1: New England. I've also played for Bill Belichick in a

2278
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. They have this unique ability and they do

2279
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: it differently. But to not just tell you what to do,

2280
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 1: because it's easy to say, hey, stay low or block

2281
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: this guy. That's that's easy, right, but to tell you

2282
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 1: how to do it, and not only how to do it,

2283
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 1: like the footwork and the depth of the route or

2284
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,680
Speaker 1: whatever the case is, how to do it, but why

2285
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: we're doing it. This is why we run it this way,

2286
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 1: and here is what that's gonna help us do in

2287
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: the second quarter, in the third quarter, then we're gonna

2288
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: set them up and we're gonna get him with this

2289
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:28,200
Speaker 1: explosive in the fourth quarter. They they and you would

2290
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: think that's pretty common, but it's not. Most guys are told,

2291
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,800
Speaker 1: why do we do this? Because this is what we do? Yeah? Right,

2292
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:39,680
Speaker 1: and they give and they give. They're thinking about this

2293
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 1: play and I hope I do this right, you know,

2294
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 1: I hope I get through this play right. These guys

2295
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 1: are thinking, listen, we got to do this to set

2296
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,720
Speaker 1: up four plays down the You know absolutely that is

2297
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: a step ahead, and it's and it's where a lot

2298
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:51,640
Speaker 1: of teams just never get a chance to get to

2299
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 1: because they don't have either the continuity of culture or

2300
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: the length of time in the system. The coaching staff

2301
01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 1: has turned over um a lot of reasons. There's a

2302
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,920
Speaker 1: million reasons why you can't get to that point. Mark Slayreth,

2303
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 1: our guest three time Super Bowl champion, covers the Broncos

2304
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: radio host in Denver on Fox Sports and FS One

2305
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: question about the Patriots. You've been around championship teams, played

2306
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,759
Speaker 1: on championship teams. How do you account for the sustained

2307
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,479
Speaker 1: greatness of the Patriots over all these years? What is it?

2308
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 1: You know? I mean that it's the thing that to

2309
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 1: me is the most amazing part of this run is

2310
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 1: that you're not stated by your success. I think human

2311
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: nature is when you've had a certain level of success,

2312
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: you feel good about yourself, you pat yourself on the back,

2313
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 1: and you kind of relax. Steve and I would both

2314
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,680
Speaker 1: be playing if it was only lining up on Sundays.

2315
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: It's prepping Monday through Saturday. That sucks, right, I don't

2316
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:41,040
Speaker 1: want That's what they pay you for you play for

2317
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 1: free the game. They pay you Monday through Saturday, right,

2318
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: So that the thing that's interesting to me. It's funny.

2319
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm having a I'm in Miami calling a game, and

2320
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 1: I have a meeting with Danny A. Mondola, and I

2321
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: just was like, not to talk about the Patriots, but

2322
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,760
Speaker 1: tell me what you learned from playing with Tom Brady

2323
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: what Like, It's just something that it fascinates me, right,

2324
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 1: And he's like, how to be a professional. And I

2325
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 1: thought I was a professional walking in there, and I realized,

2326
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 1: oh shoot, I gotta pick up my game. He goes like,

2327
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 1: we'll get done with the game on the road. And

2328
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, everybody, you get done with the game, you

2329
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: grab a little sack lunch on your way out after

2330
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: you shower. They got a little sack lunch for you,

2331
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: grab a couple of beers or whatever. You get on

2332
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: the bus, right, I mean that's how it operates. So

2333
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: everybody's on the bus and they're talking about whatever, and

2334
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:32,600
Speaker 1: they're heading to the plane. Right, They're gonna bus up

2335
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 1: to the tarmac, get on the plane and fly home.

2336
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 1: So everybody's on the bus with their sandwich, with their

2337
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 1: beer or whatever. Tom Brady has already downloaded the next

2338
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: opponent and what they did on Sunday, and he's on

2339
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: the bus studying the film of the next opponent from

2340
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,479
Speaker 1: two hours ago, like and he's like, this is this

2341
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: is the level of obsession and the fact that you're

2342
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 1: not satiated by your success, the fact that you're still

2343
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: willing to grind, the that you're still willing to put

2344
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 1: in the time. He is on the bus heading back

2345
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: Sunday after, you know, Sunday evening after they just won

2346
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:10,560
Speaker 1: a game looking at the next week's toponent already like

2347
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a special breed of like obsession and

2348
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:19,120
Speaker 1: that's what he has. Hey, Mark, the Broncos you're covering

2349
01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:21,560
Speaker 1: pretty closely. What's the future for Van Miller there? And

2350
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 1: what's the future for the Denver Broncos. What do you

2351
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 1: see ahead for them? I think, like I think, like

2352
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 1: any team you know that that is kind of going

2353
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,800
Speaker 1: through a transition. Um you have to be It's like

2354
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 1: any phase of your life, you have to be honest

2355
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 1: with yourself, like what what are we really? And I

2356
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: think one of the issues that Broncos have is they've

2357
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 1: had such a sustained level of success. I mean never

2358
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:45,639
Speaker 1: had back to back losing seasons until this year from

2359
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: seventy one was the last time they had back to

2360
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 1: back losing seasons until just these last two years. So um,

2361
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 1: the sustained. You know, they have this feeling that we're

2362
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 1: always in it, We're always close, We've got you know,

2363
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna make it work. And I think

2364
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 1: one of the hardest things to do is to actually

2365
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 1: look at yourself and assess your skill set, assess where

2366
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:08,640
Speaker 1: you are in life, and go, Man, I got a

2367
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:12,320
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. And from a talent standpoint

2368
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 1: and from a depth standpoint, this is a football team

2369
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:21,400
Speaker 1: that needs to get significantly better. Their whole offensive line

2370
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:24,640
Speaker 1: is they've made mistakes. They have tried to patchwork that

2371
01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: thing together, which blows me away about my former teammate

2372
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 1: John is like you you went to three Super Bowls

2373
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: and got waxed in all three of them until you

2374
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 1: actually got a group in front of you and a

2375
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:40,880
Speaker 1: running game that they could protect you before you won them. Like,

2376
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:43,800
Speaker 1: why would you try to piecemeal and offensive line together?

2377
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: You have got to go, you know, figure this thing out.

2378
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have a in today's game, the

2379
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: tight end or the running back, they can catch balls

2380
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 1: that matchup. They haven't had that in years, so they

2381
01:52:56,080 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 1: have they failed there. They've got a lot of they've

2382
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:02,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do on the offensive

2383
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 1: side of the ball, just to me, to be competitive

2384
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 1: and and to me, they're just not there, not even

2385
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:10,960
Speaker 1: close von Miller. As far as von Miller is concerned,

2386
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 1: von Miller is a great player. Um, he is. He's

2387
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: a great player. But he like when DeMarcus Ware left,

2388
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: they were like, here you go. You're our team captain,

2389
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 1: you're our leader, and he's he's just not that. He's

2390
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: everybody's buddy. He's great, he's a great player, but on

2391
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: Sundays he doesn't elevate everybody else to his level. And um, like,

2392
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: if i'm them, how many more years of von Miller

2393
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,639
Speaker 1: do you have? Could you significantly make your team better

2394
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: by moving von Miller? He's gonna be thirty this coming season.

2395
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean I would, I would take a serious as

2396
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,160
Speaker 1: good as he's been, I'd take a serious look at that.

2397
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, thanks thanks for being here, man, See

Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back, We are back in the

2406
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Steve and I just arguing during the break,

2407
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 1: it's how we entertain ourselves. They will, they'll have, you'll

2408
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:33,320
Speaker 1: have the mission. I'm just wondering to here and again Mobile, Alabama. Yes,

2409
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:35,520
Speaker 1: a couple of people where the Big ten network was

2410
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 1: what what's the Big ten work now? Yeah, I think

2411
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 1: we're not that far from Mobile. I'm a little worried

2412
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Top ten's ESPN, right, and that was a Big ten.

2413
01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: I want to watch a college hoop game tonight. I'm

2414
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 1: just look concerned. Hey, Mark Schlareth was really good, really fun,

2415
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: um and particularly interesting take on Super Bowl twenty six.

2416
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 1: Bills lost to the Washington Redskins and the effect an

2417
01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:02,880
Speaker 1: inspired inspired inspirations. Yeah, inspired by the Bill's defensive line coach.

2418
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh I won't mention his name, but you can. And

2419
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,120
Speaker 1: the Bill's defensive line coach who made fun of the

2420
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: Hawks and how much that That's what amaze me, not

2421
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: that they were inspired, but how much that offended Joe

2422
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: Gibbs and how big a deal Joe Gibbs made out

2423
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: of that. That's pretty impressive. It was classic billboard material. Yeah,

2424
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 1: classic from a coach. You're not supposed to get that

2425
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:22,960
Speaker 1: from a coach. That's why he got fired, that exact

2426
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 1: incident and plus others, but that was his that was

2427
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 1: why he got fired, and you know, and began his

2428
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: broadcasting career as much, you know, like the rest of us. Right. Yeah,

2429
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:37,760
Speaker 1: Speaking of coaches coaching movements, the Bills now are in

2430
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 1: the market for a quarterback coach for Josh Allen. The

2431
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens announcing today they've hired Bill's quarterbacks coach David

2432
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 1: Culley to become the there the Ravens new assistant head

2433
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 1: coach receivers passing game coordinator, a promotion. They make him

2434
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 1: assistant head coach. That makes sense that he would go,

2435
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 1: I guess, so now they got to find a new

2436
01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:59,440
Speaker 1: man to coach Josh Allen. Let me say this going

2437
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 1: into the year, or I think I expressed it on

2438
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 1: the show. I was concerned that the Bills had the

2439
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 1: right people in place to work with. Josh David Colley

2440
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:08,640
Speaker 1: was the right guy. He did a good job. They

2441
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 1: did a nice job developing. Yeah, I think he did.

2442
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I think I think I miss him.

2443
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the only guy, the only quarterback. And you

2444
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 1: think like, oh, who's now what are they gonna do?

2445
01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 1: You know? The only thing guy goes. I go to

2446
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: the guys. I know. I know Alex van Pelt Ye,

2447
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 1: he's with He was with Green Bay for years now,

2448
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 1: he's been with Cincinnati's been in Cincinnati one year, finished

2449
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 1: his first year with Cincinnati, and is he here's the

2450
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:30,840
Speaker 1: thing in Mobile last week I asked a friend of

2451
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 1: mine who works with the Bengals, what's up with Alex?

2452
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,440
Speaker 1: And Hassett was let go? I said, what's up with

2453
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 1: Alex and Hasset? Jimmy Hassett was coaching their linebackers. He

2454
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: was let go, but new coach now in Cincinnati. And

2455
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 1: the word is I guess as he was not hired yet. Yeah,

2456
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:50,480
Speaker 1: you're right, No, he's yeah, Yes, it's a guy. It's

2457
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 1: all but done. The guy from from the La Rams. Oh,

2458
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, right right, yeah. But the word is

2459
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep Alex van Pelt, But I don't know

2460
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 1: is Alex good that I would love to have him

2461
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:02,040
Speaker 1: come back. I think you do a good job with

2462
01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:04,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Well, the Bill said, here's the important thing.

2463
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: The Bills have that vacancy to fill in. I think

2464
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 1: it's a critical, critical vacancy to film. I really do.

2465
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree it's gonna They like the guys

2466
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: they have in the quarterback room, no question about it.

2467
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson's a great guy. Matt Barkley has fit in

2468
01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: really well with what they're trying to do with Josh.

2469
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 1: They're all kind of on board and they know that,

2470
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, listen, they know their role. Their role in

2471
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: that room is to get the guy who they drafted

2472
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 1: number seven overall last year ready to play every week.

2473
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 1: They're all in on that, and that's a great place

2474
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 1: to have them be, all those guys focused on getting

2475
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:41,200
Speaker 1: Josh better, having Josh being uh, you know, being at

2476
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: the under the thumb of all those guys, both in

2477
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:47,800
Speaker 1: a supportive way and in a challenging way. So it's

2478
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 1: it's great and to add another voice in there at

2479
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback because at the quarterback coach, that's that's big.

2480
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you you got to get the right guy.

2481
01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 1: He's got to be the right type of guy. And

2482
01:57:57,600 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see who they get. Yeah, so

2483
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 1: they have a vagacy, a pretty big one. And it's

2484
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 1: interesting too the cullye leaves to go be a passing

2485
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 1: game coordinator they're starting. The game is getting to be

2486
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:09,320
Speaker 1: so complicated and so many layers of analytics and things

2487
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 1: you've got to prepare for and do and take care

2488
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 1: of and information you've got. It is still now they're

2489
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 1: getting coordinators. Under the coordinators. There's an offensive coordinator. There's

2490
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 1: a passing game coordinator. There's a run game coordinator. There's

2491
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:26,440
Speaker 1: a running backs coach, quarterback coach, wide receivers coach, uh,

2492
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, offensive line coach. Some teams have a garden

2493
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 1: center coach and a tackle coach, you know. I mean,

2494
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 1: it's just there's so many layers. So that's why one

2495
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,880
Speaker 1: of the reasons Cully's probably it's a it's a promotion

2496
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: for him, you know, it's motion for him to get

2497
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 1: up to be a passing game coordinator. Yeah. So even

2498
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,360
Speaker 1: though it's not a full coordinator and he's probably I

2499
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 1: doubt that he'll be called and plays. Obviously, it's a

2500
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 1: great opportunity for him. Yeah, we'll see what happens with it.

2501
01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:57,600
Speaker 1: A pretty interesting vagacy. They still um, they'll still need

2502
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,560
Speaker 1: a receivers coach too, right, Yes, they need a coach.

2503
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: So those two vacancies remain on the Buffalo Bills coaching staff.

2504
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:06,680
Speaker 1: We're talking a little bit about Bill's history today in

2505
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll, Wed you have time to hear from

Speaker 1: four Super Bowl appearances? It's a Twitter poll, and on

2509
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, it's pretty lopsided. I don't think we've

2510
01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 1: ever had a vote this lopsided. What was your favorite

2511

01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 1: who began his career as a draft pick and a

2521
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,920
Speaker 1: pretty productive performer for the Buffalo Bills. Robert Woods left

2522
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 1: to go to the Rams, his hometown a couple of

2523
01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 1: years ago, got a chance catch up with him. He

2524
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 1: was on the podium last night at Super Bowl Opening

2525
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Night and we talked to Robert Woods about his career

2526
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:07,760
Speaker 1: and what he's done so far and beat in the

2527
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Here we go, ye last week or two,

2528
02:00:10,480 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 1: giving any thought to your free agent move and what

2529
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:16,080
Speaker 1: a great move that was? Uh? Not not really. I

2530
02:00:16,400 --> 02:00:18,440
Speaker 1: just know just coming to LA has been the biggest,

2531
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: the biggest blessing. Uh, just in his offense, coming with

2532
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Jared coming McVeigh, being able to, you know, just kick

2533
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:28,360
Speaker 1: off my career, you know how I wanted it. Um,

2534
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,320
Speaker 1: just being able to be a pass catchers and uh,

2535
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: playoff games, super Bowl. I feel like it's a dream coming.

2536
02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:37,600
Speaker 1: She was a blessing that decision. And there's obviously money

2537
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:40,640
Speaker 1: and the home and our factors. But at any point

2538
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:42,160
Speaker 1: did you think maybe I go to the Super Bowl

2539
02:00:42,200 --> 02:00:44,840
Speaker 1: with these guys. No, I didn't know. My biggest thing

2540
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: was just Uh, just trying to get to just you know,

2541
02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 1: a passing offense. You know, I was leaving Buffalo, you know,

2542
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 1: led the league in Russian attempts, and my biggest thing

2543
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 1: in free agency was, you know, allowing myself to be

2544
02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: a receiver, you know, just getting the top half of

2545
02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: the passing attempts and uh, you know, coming to LA

2546
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: being with Jared baby McBath. Um, you know, seven hundred

Speaker 1: plus yards last year, uh, thousand plus yards this year,

2548
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:11,360

Speaker 1: do it in the past and do it in there.

2554
02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:25,000
Speaker 1: What do you what do you take from your time

2555
02:01:25,040 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo a couple of years? Man, I love, I

2556
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 1: love my time in Buffalo. Just uh, just the experience.

2557
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, I stayed home at USC going to college.

2558
02:01:34,040 --> 02:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Uh so just those four years of Buffalo, going out,

2559
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:40,080
Speaker 1: playing in the snow, playing different type of football. Uh

2560
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:43,280
Speaker 1: was just you know, great, great for my career, Um,

2561
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:46,720
Speaker 1: great for me to learn learn more about football. Uh,

2562
02:01:46,920 --> 02:01:50,160
Speaker 1: learn to play in the snow and football. I think, uh,

2563
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: is this a great just football experience. And as a

2564
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 1: football player, I felt like it helped mod me and

2565
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:57,760
Speaker 1: uh make me a player who I am today. I'm

2566
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:03,040
Speaker 1: happy for man good to shoot around. Robert Woods got

2567
02:02:03,120 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 1: a good had a good conversation with him. It's it's

2568
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:08,040
Speaker 1: crazy trying to complained about this a few times they

2569
02:02:08,120 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 1: have meaningful interviews in that environment. Yeah, stupid, not gonna happen.

2570
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:14,960
Speaker 1: But a couple of questions. And Robert is good. He's

2571
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:18,200
Speaker 1: always liked his intelligent approach to the game. A really

2572
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,360
Speaker 1: good Buffalo Bill, I thought, and uh and even better

2573
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rahim, I'm happy for it. Make me a

2574
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,520
Speaker 1: bad person that I'm happy for these guys, not at all.

2575
02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 1: And it's it's good to see him have success, particularly

2576
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 1: a kid who sat back and said, listen, if I

2577
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:32,400
Speaker 1: want to be the best receiver I can be, I

2578
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:34,560
Speaker 1: gotta go someplace. We're gonna throw the football, then they

2579
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: run it. And then the Bills were not in this

2580
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 1: position to do that when he was a Bill. And

2581
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you know what, the thing about it, to tell you

2582
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:43,160
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about him, you never heard

2583
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: an iota of a complaint from him while he was

2584
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:50,520
Speaker 1: playing here. Nope. And uh, but you know, you gotta

2585
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 1: be silly to think he couldn't just sit up and

2586
02:02:53,800 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 1: look around the league and see what was going on

2587
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 1: in other places and say, listen, I could play someplace

2588
02:02:57,680 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: and I could start, you know, doing what I supposed

2589
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 1: to be doing as a receiver instead of just being

2590
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: a runblocker too much of a runblocker. Made some real

2591
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:08,400
Speaker 1: decisions in his life and made him work out, and

2592
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:10,560
Speaker 1: he's a thousand yard receiver and a Super Bowl as

2593
02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:12,200
Speaker 1: a result. One of the best things I oh he

2594
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 1: appreciated about the Robert Woods game is the all round

2595
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 1: facet of his game. He's not a speed guy. He's

2596
02:03:18,320 --> 02:03:20,960
Speaker 1: not a possession receiver, not a red zone target guy.

2597
02:03:21,160 --> 02:03:23,160
Speaker 1: He'll do a little bit of everything, including block if

2598
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:24,280
Speaker 1: you need him to do it. I think he's a

2599
02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:27,320
Speaker 1: really valuable component to a successful team in that In

2600
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 1: that regard, he does what he's supposed to do, when

2601
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:32,360
Speaker 1: he's supposed to do it, he does it full go.

2602
02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:35,120
Speaker 1: He never lets up on a plane, never gives a

2603
02:03:35,120 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: half an effort, and he overachieves along with being really gifted.

2604
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:43,560
Speaker 1: So he's yeah, he's you know, there's thirty two teams

2605
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:45,360
Speaker 1: out there would love to have him on their squad. Also,

2606
02:03:45,680 --> 02:03:47,880
Speaker 1: we have a conversation last night at the Super Bowl

2607
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Opening night with former Bill's head coach Wade Phillips, former

2608
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive coordinator. You played a couple of years when

2609
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Wade was in Buffalo, right his three years as a

2610
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in my last three years. Yeah, so you

2611
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of contact with him. I mean, it's

2612
02:04:01,800 --> 02:04:04,840
Speaker 1: just yeah, listen, I met his dad, Bum came into

2613
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:08,480
Speaker 1: the locker room, and certainly I had played for the

2614
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Oilers just after Bum. Phillips had left the Oilers early

2615
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 1: in my career. So yeah, I really enjoyed Wade. I

2616
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit and have just a couple

2617
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 1: of seconds with him after they win in New Orleans

2618
02:04:20,120 --> 02:04:23,400
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and it's just great to touch base

2619
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:25,800
Speaker 1: with him. But he really is he's he's a he's

2620
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: a sweetheart of a guy. He remains a favorite of

2621
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:31,400
Speaker 1: the media here and everywhere he goes. He was asked

2622
02:04:31,440 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 1: something about how they're getting ready to go up against

2623
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:36,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and what was his quote today or maybe

2624
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:38,960
Speaker 1: ahead of me last night? He said, I'm gonna get

2625
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 1: a pipeline to Tony Romo, so he'll tell me what

2626
02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the play is before it starts. Pretty good. But we

2627
02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:46,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk briefly with Wade Phillips, and

2628
02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 1: one thing, Wade is very proud of his three year

2629
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 1: ten year as head coach with the Buffalo Bills twenty

2630
02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 1: nine wins, nineteen losses. He'll remind you of that if

2631
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you don't know it. And that's how I began our

2632
02:04:56,360 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: conversation last night with Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. If

2633
02:05:00,440 --> 02:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I say the numbers twenty nine and nineteen, what does

2634
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 1: that mean you twenty nine nineteen, Uh, that's ten ten

2635
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: it's been lost recording. Oh yeah, oh that's right. Okay,

2636
02:05:11,160 --> 02:05:14,040
Speaker 1: I know you know that. Yeah, I knew that. Would

2637
02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:16,200
Speaker 1: you look back on that and where you're banning where

2638
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:18,320
Speaker 1: you are now? Things kind of worked out well for

2639
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 1: you very well, didn't Yeah? They have. I've I've been

2640
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:23,840
Speaker 1: fortunate to be in the right places at the right time,

2641
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 1: but uh, and this is one of them. I was

2642
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:29,960
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to get with a young, tremendous head coach

2643
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: that uh that as a great leader and and and

2644
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of really good players as we

2645
02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:38,400
Speaker 1: did at Buffalo when I was there, and and some

2646
02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 1: of the other teams I've been with, we had really

2647
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 1: good players. That helps you win. Do you are you

2648
02:05:43,400 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 1: working longer and than you thought you would at this age?

2649
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:47,840
Speaker 1: Are you as your career gone longer than you thought

2650
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:51,080
Speaker 1: it might? Well, the season is getting longer. Why don't

2651
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:52,560
Speaker 1: you go to the super Bowl? So that's that's what

2652
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:57,600
Speaker 1: we like. Uh, I don't know, it's coaching's coaching. You

2653
02:05:57,680 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: do what you do, and you do it as hard

2654
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 1: as you can do it the best you can do

2655
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:02,760
Speaker 1: it for as long as you need to. So that's

2656
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. You'll enjoy it. You've got

2657
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:07,560
Speaker 1: about as much experience going against Brady is almost anybody

2658
02:06:07,600 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 1: in the league. I gets you feel you must feel

2659
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:11,840
Speaker 1: like you're pretty well armed going into this game up. Well,

2660
02:06:11,880 --> 02:06:13,760
Speaker 1: it's a different team. It's a different team than he's

2661
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:16,600
Speaker 1: been on as a different team that I'm coaching, so, um,

2662
02:06:17,200 --> 02:06:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's the difference is each year is a

2663
02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:22,040
Speaker 1: different team. You know, even though even though they have

2664
02:06:22,160 --> 02:06:24,040
Speaker 1: the same quarterback they've got, they've got a lot of

2665
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:27,600
Speaker 1: different offensive offensive linemen that we hadn't seen. A new

2666
02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:30,720
Speaker 1: running back all those things, and we've got new players,

2667
02:06:30,760 --> 02:06:34,240
Speaker 1: so uh, it's a it's a single game challenge, and

2668
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 1: he's obviously a big challenge anytime you play again. And

2669
02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:38,720
Speaker 1: they're running it more than they have recently, A guess

2670
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 1: they're running it really well. They're one of the best

2671
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:46,640
Speaker 1: running teams in the league. Great goodness Wade Phillips defensive

2672
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:48,800
Speaker 1: coording that he knows they're running the two. We talked

2673
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:51,440
Speaker 1: about that briefly off camera. Steve. I mean they're they're

2674
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 1: averaging thirty five runs per game now the Patriots are.

2675
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,680
Speaker 1: This is not the Tom Brady thrown around the yard anymore.

2676
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: This is an interesting It's almost like Wade's been doing

2677
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,560
Speaker 1: some films, say yeah yeah. And Clayton mentioned it too

2678
02:07:01,600 --> 02:07:05,800
Speaker 1: earlier on the show. They used Devil in the fullback right. Gronkowski,

2679
02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:07,960
Speaker 1: who we always knew as a good blocker, has become

2680
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:10,600
Speaker 1: a great blocker in this postseason run for the Patriots.

2681
02:07:10,720 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 1: They have really as we know of, as we've seen

2682
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:15,720
Speaker 1: you all too much of over the years, it's a

2683
02:07:15,800 --> 02:07:20,000
Speaker 1: team that can evolve seemingly instantaneously to be a different

2684
02:07:20,080 --> 02:07:22,000
Speaker 1: type of team with a different game plan and a

2685
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:24,840
Speaker 1: different really identity and it used to be Hey and

2686
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips's dad Bum had a great famous saying, you

2687
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:32,920
Speaker 1: dance with what brung you, meaning if you run the

2688
02:07:32,960 --> 02:07:35,080
Speaker 1: football in the regular season, you get to the playoffs

2689
02:07:35,120 --> 02:07:37,080
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you get to a big game, you

2690
02:07:37,240 --> 02:07:39,320
Speaker 1: keep running the ball because that's what got you there.

2691
02:07:39,560 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: The Patriots fly in the face of that. They they

2692
02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to make you beat them left

2693
02:07:48,120 --> 02:07:50,880
Speaker 1: handed right. I mean, they make they force the issue

2694
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:54,920
Speaker 1: to you to adjust to what they're doing. They're very

2695
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,880
Speaker 1: good at strategizing and what you don't do well and

2696
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: forcing you to beat them doing what you do not

2697
02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:02,480
Speaker 1: do well or have not been able to do well.

2698
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:07,600
Speaker 1: That so they don't care what they're good at. They

2699
02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:10,040
Speaker 1: care what you're not good at. Yeah, you know, and

2700
02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:12,360
Speaker 1: and they attack you that way. We had a couple

2701
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:14,440
Speaker 1: of minutes last night to fire a few quick questions

2702
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 1: to Stefan Gilmour, Farmer Bill's first round traft pick cornerback

2703
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 1: now with the Patriots for a couple of years. Two

2704
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:23,200
Speaker 1: years with the Patriots, two Super Bowl appearances for Stefan

2705
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Gilmour going pretty good for him. We had a chance

2706
02:08:25,320 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 1: to talk with him about that last night at the

2707
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 1: super Bowl opening night. Here it is. It's a great opportunity.

2708
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:34,960
Speaker 1: You know, No, you don't get easy. It was hard

2709
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 1: work every year. So I'm happy to be here before

2710
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:42,560
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for alst the round, the approach every

2711
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:44,560
Speaker 1: year like this is where the season will land. Now

2712
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:46,400
Speaker 1: you're in your coming years, do you feel that approach

2713
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:49,360
Speaker 1: is there every year? No, I would say that. I

2714
02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:52,520
Speaker 1: just think it's a daily grind. We worked hard every day.

2715
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 1: It's no short cuts. Everybody put the works in and

2716
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,720
Speaker 1: we push each other every day no matter if we win.

2717
02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:03,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes it feel like the loss because we own each

2718
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 1: other so well. So that's that's where it takes. What's

2719
02:09:05,360 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 1: the chance you light up across from the guy used

2720
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 1: to play and practice Robert Woods. It's a great opportunity.

2721
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to messing up with those guys. They

2722
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of great talent. Robert Woods bed having

2723
02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:20,760
Speaker 1: a great year. So um, it's fun. It's gonna be

2724
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 1: a fun a fun battle. When you're around a group

2725
02:09:24,440 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 1: like this has been in so many big games like this,

2726
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:29,680
Speaker 1: is it easy to put aside like the noise and

2727
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,520
Speaker 1: hype and distraction like you get here to I mean

2728
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,040
Speaker 1: I want to say that I think this group of

2729
02:09:35,120 --> 02:09:38,560
Speaker 1: guys that happened behind us in the past and we

2730
02:09:38,680 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 1: are about what's in the future. So I mean when

2731
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:44,560
Speaker 1: when to lose, we we learn from it and um

2732
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:46,720
Speaker 1: get ready for the next game. So that's I think

2733
02:09:46,720 --> 02:09:52,960
Speaker 1: that's why we're Stephan Gilmour Farmer Bill's first round draft pick,

2734
02:09:53,040 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 1: very happy, very satisfied. Why wouldn't he be in his

2735
02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:57,520
Speaker 1: two year tenure with the Patriots. Steph and I coming

2736
02:09:57,560 --> 02:10:00,160
Speaker 1: back with more One Bill slide from the sho For

Speaker 1: have we Learned is presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western

2741
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills our show from Super Bowl fifty three. Today,

2742
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:28,320
Speaker 1: we had John Clayton, former espner. John Clayton talked about

2743
02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the amazing versatility of the New England Patriots offense. Here's

2744
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:36,360
Speaker 1: what he said. They've been together for eighteen years and

2745
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:38,600
Speaker 1: because of that, there's such a history of he said, well,

2746
02:10:38,640 --> 02:10:40,600
Speaker 1: we did this before, We've done this before. It's just

2747
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:42,720
Speaker 1: a matter of adjusting. And of course, one thing that

2748
02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Bill doesn't get credit for is how much college stuff

2749
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:49,560
Speaker 1: that he incorporates into his offense. A couple of years

2750
02:10:49,600 --> 02:10:52,920
Speaker 1: ago they went to Oregon somehow with Chiff Kelly and

2751
02:10:53,080 --> 02:10:55,280
Speaker 1: was able to study the Oregon running game. And that's

2752
02:10:55,320 --> 02:10:57,000
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that they have right now, well

2753
02:10:57,040 --> 02:10:59,400
Speaker 1: ahead of everything else. Because remember back then they were

2754
02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:01,840
Speaker 1: getting the first year they did at seventy five running

2755
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 1: player or seventy five plays a game, way more than

2756
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 1: anybody else in the league. They're so advanced in some

2757
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 1: of the things that they add because they say, okay,

2758
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,400
Speaker 1: we have the base, we did this, we'll go back

2759
02:11:11,440 --> 02:11:13,440
Speaker 1: to this, we'll add that, and that's why they keep

2760
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 1: on going back. John Clayton talking about the Patriots, we

2761
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: had Mark Schlereth on the show. Mark Slaret, three times

2762
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:25,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner, now does radio and Colorado. Mark Schlereth

2763
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:29,040
Speaker 1: talked about talk to us about his conception of what

2764
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:33,760
Speaker 1: wins championship football games. Here's what he said. You know,

2765
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:35,520
Speaker 1: it was just a complete football team. That's why I

2766
02:11:35,520 --> 02:11:38,320
Speaker 1: always you know, I always find it fascinating offense or

2767
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,080
Speaker 1: defense or this. I'm like, complete teams or what win championships.

2768
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: You gotta have a you gotta have a great football team.

2769
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:47,520
Speaker 1: And then I think the chemistry aspect of it, we

2770
02:11:47,640 --> 02:11:50,760
Speaker 1: don't we don't talk enough about it, but liking each

2771
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:54,920
Speaker 1: other and your ability to sacrifice and play for one another,

2772
02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:58,600
Speaker 1: to me is what really separates the teams that win

2773
02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:03,240
Speaker 1: it from the teams that don't win. Bill. There you go,

2774
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Mark Schlarith, this sucks. What did you learn from today's show, Steve? What?

2775
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:09,720
Speaker 1: What surprise? It's we're starting getting mid super Bowl week

2776
02:12:09,880 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 1: and it's starting just for a minute now before we

2777
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 1: get to the weekend, starting talking about football a little bit. Yeah,

2778
02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it's starting to get The teams are there,

2779
02:12:17,920 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 1: they're starting to talk about it, and there you're dancing

2780
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:22,200
Speaker 1: around the issue for a long time. Now we've got

2781
02:12:22,240 --> 02:12:24,560
Speaker 1: to start talking about the matchups and who's gonna actually

2782
02:12:24,880 --> 02:12:26,880
Speaker 1: and it's a good matchup the people we've talked to,

2783
02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:29,520
Speaker 1: I think I would speak for both Schlarith and Clayton.

2784
02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 1: I think both feel like the Patriots are the favorites here.

2785
02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:36,480
Speaker 1: You've already described them as it's the Super Bowl champions,

2786
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:39,640
Speaker 1: But I think I think it's gonna be a good

2787
02:12:39,680 --> 02:12:42,120
Speaker 1: competitive game. Oh, I think there's no question. The Patriots

2788
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 1: rarely in the postseason run off and leave teams and

2789
02:12:44,800 --> 02:12:48,680
Speaker 1: they will, you know, but um it's I think it'll

2790
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:51,280
Speaker 1: be a competitive game. I do give the Patriots and

2791
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: edge one They're used to this week. They've been here

2792
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 1: three times over the last four years. They know what

2793
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 1: to do, how not to get distracted. I think it

2794
02:12:58,160 --> 02:12:59,760
Speaker 1: helps them. Got another a good show coming up from
