Speaker 1: expecting a competitive game? Yeah, me too. We'll blow out.

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: The only the only way I see this is getting

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: out of hand is if if LA's pass rushed with

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Von Miller and Aaron Donald and those groups, if those

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: guys go bonkers over the top of Quentin Spain and

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: then whoever else the offensive line is that Bengals, then

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna get out of hand. You know, so that's

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: the only way I see. I'm just gonna be a

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: good game. Joe Burrow seems to be the real thing.

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: He'll be able to keep him in it. And Matt

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Stafford always seems to have that one like what are

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: you doing kind of throw? Could have a bot goofy

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: play to keep it close or whatever. So I'm I

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a good game. Are I was

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: gonna ask you if you know you and I are

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: could be construed as having jobs in the football world. Yeah,

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna do anything special for the game? The

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: only thing I do every year is make my chili,

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: so that will be happy to have start Like today

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: is like a two days. I've got everything I need already,

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: so it will begin in earnest Sunday, probably after church.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Get home from church. It's mid day. You're still about

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: six hours away from kickoff, and I have to transport

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the chili because laws. Yeah, okay, so it's got to

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: be transported. Is the one from the office where the

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: guy spills the fifty gallon? Yeah, I'm not doing that.

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I put too much into my child careless and transy.

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm a big how big a vat do you have

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: like a twelve only. Well, here's the thing, and it's

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: fortunate for me and for my son. Quite frankly, we're

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: really the only primary oh chili consumers. Right. My brother

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: in law will have some, my father in law will

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: have some. I don't know what it is. I don't

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: know what it is about the female side of my

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: wife's family that they don't eat chili. My daughter won't.

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: She won't, like won't eat it. They don't. It's not

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: their thing, which you know, it isn't horrible, it's more

52
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: for us. That's not terrible. Yeah, but you know it's

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: good food. Don't eat the whole They don't really eat it.

54
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: So because of that, I usually only make I usually

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: make it with two pounds of chop meat. Um. Yeah,

56
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: and that's enough. It's more than enough. I usually have

57
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: plenty left over, which is great because then I bring

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: it into work for lunch Monday, you know Tuesday. Yeah,

59
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And like most you have a big family, though,

60
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: imagine you gotta make We are empty nesters so well,

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: I know, but who yeah, people are coming over right.

62
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: What we do is all make the most of it.

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: And then she'll say, hey, take some home. For the

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, give them a big you know from what

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: about this? I'm a big one for making so much

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: you can freeze it and then pop it out later. Yeah,

67
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: it gets It's like wine. The more you freeze it

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: and unfreeze it and put it through like treat it

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: like there are three things badly after you make it,

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: it's better. There are three things in the general lexicon

71
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: of food that you can freeze or consume left over,

72
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: and you can make the argument it's better than when

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: it was fresh. See. Here are the three things I

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: will submit to the list. Here are the three things

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: I will submit to the list. Chili is one, So

76
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you your chili Chinese food left over, not frozen.

77
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying leftover food, Okay, okay, So if you've ever

78
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: had Chinese food a day later warmed up in the

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: microwave on a regular plate, you know, not the aluminum tinling.

80
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: You can't put that in the microwave, you could make

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the genuine argument it tastes better than it did fresh.

82
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: I'll listen to that. What's the third one I think

83
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: there are? Well, this depends on how picky you are

84
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: as an eater, But I think and This is not

85
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: a frozen conversation either. Left over right, this is refrigerated. Yeah,

86
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: I believe leftover pizza can be very good. I kind

87
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: of knew that was coming. Those would be three reheat

88
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, I'll give you the piece. I

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: genuinely prefer to reheat it and not not in a microwave.

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: Do not reheat pizza in a microwave oven. I get

91
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: put it in the oven on a little sheet of

92
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: aluminum foil, gets it nice and crispy again. If you're

93
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna reheat it, it expands the the menu of what

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: you can do if you're gonna reheat it. Um, there's

95
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that. Yeah, chili for me is

96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick on food that has been

97
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: left over or frozen and then revived. My wife very

98
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: often because well, she makes her own sauce. But if

99
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: she's making like a lasagna, she'll make one, she'll make

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: two batches sauce for two batches, and so she'll make

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: a trail lasagna for now Sunday, and then she'll freeze

102
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: another one. And I would argue that the only pasta

103
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: that you can really freeze reheat, and it's just as

104
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: good as lasagna. When you start getting into the smaller

105
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: pastas and freezing and bring it back out, it gets

106
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: a little saga. Couldn't tell a lasagna that was frozen

107
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: and heated as the one that was fresh. It's the

108
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: same to me, it's the same, yeah, And I think

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: it's because you got a lot of you know, you

110
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: got big boodles, surface areas, pecans packed in tight not

111
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: a lot of moisture to kind of see. I grew

112
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: up in right in the heart of the country, right

113
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: in the middle in Kansas, and you can't you know,

114
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: you can't take your jacket off without elbowing a cow. Right,

115
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's a meeting. Well, it's a grain it's

116
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: a grain growing state. They grow more wheat than any

117
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: state in the country. And so because of that, there's

118
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: a lot of cattle out there because they just the

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: cattle are there, the food is there, feed it to

120
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: the cows. You got meat, and then they ship fresh

121
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: meat everywhere like im. It's it's a it's a it's

122
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: a big and it's like the steel industry in the here,

123
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: it's it's big. So by age six, you pretty much

124
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: knew every cut of meat that could come off a

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: cow like flank. When I was sick, I did not

126
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: know what prime rib tabone. By age six, absolutely you

127
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: knew that it started with beef and went from there.

128
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Now I will say this also, it's now it's also

129
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: pork is out there as well. It started so yeah,

130
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: it's And that's why I told you. When you go

131
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: down the list of things that the proteins that you eat,

132
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: it starts at the top with me, probably with pork.

133
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Now these are your favorite meats you're giving it? Yeah,

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: it goes pork beef probably, Then I would say probably

135
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: what sheep? Oh, lamb lamb um. Then it would go

136
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: down through I'm trying to think I'm missing some chicken

137
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: is there somewhere, but that's down below probably what else

138
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: is there? You know, I'm not gonna go into wild meat,

139
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: wild game or anything, but it would be beef. It

140
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: would be pork beef sheep. Really Lamb's third Okay? Yeah,

141
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: have you ever had lamb la into a restaurant goal

142
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: and you cannot beat it? It's like candy. Yeah, it's

143
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: really good, but there is a very small cooking window

144
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: and preparing that the right way. Well, here's the thing

145
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: you go over a couple of minutes. For me, it's

146
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: not the same for me. I mean it's like lego

147
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: lamb lamb chops and there's nothing else. I mean there's

148
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: not you know, you can't go into like the all

149
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: the different kinds of beef you can make and the

150
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, like bacon and limited yeah, right, all that stuff.

151
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: So the pig is the most versa. The pig is

152
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: the is the one that's the one where you you know,

153
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: give me that. Then beef, and there's a I love beef,

154
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: and then lamb. But then ever you get into the birds,

155
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: and at the bottom is scale fish. Wow fish at

156
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: the bottom Okay, yeah, you gotta go all the way through.

157
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: You gotta go all the way through. And that's what's

158
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: coming from the land state. And I'll say this below

159
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the scale fish would be turkey for me, because I

160
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: think put turkeys, I put bottom. I put clams, muscles, shellfish, crustaceans,

161
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: scale fish, turkey. I gotta say, your preferences are they're

162
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: a show unto itself. It's just so entertaining. Um yeah,

163
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean I think I would still and I think

164
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I would still put beef again ahead of pork. Beef

165
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: ahead of pork for me because and and I'm probably

166
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: a well I eat way more. I'm probably a man

167
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: of simple pleasures on the food spectrum. I'm not afraid

168
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: to experiment or go outside the box and try things.

169
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: But if you're giving me like a last meal, you know,

170
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and it has to involve one of said meats that

171
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: you listed, I'm just having a big old, sloppy burger man,

172
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm just having a big sloppy eat more burgers. And

173
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: probably so beef is probably at the top of my

174
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: list for that reason. Yeah, I've put I've probably eaten

175
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll eat more cheeseburgers per per week than most And

176
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: I would get I would get brisket over brisket. Is

177
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: again I turned to beef first, brisket and bacon. Well,

178
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: the brisket kind of you gotta brisk beef brisket, you

179
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: gotta have spices on it, right, true. Bacon, I mean

180
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: there is candy, maple bacon and all that, and that's good,

181
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: but bacon, bacon is just bacon, fine, right, So bacon

182
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: and brisket, bacon and brisket or the can of you know,

183
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: right right, So yeah, that's the best. And I'll say this,

184
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's rare for me that you can go

185
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: down the list and I can go say, hey, we

186
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: had a restaurant here that we but there's a place

187
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: in Tampa called Burned Steakhouse. Um, you go in there

188
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: and they're there, go to dish their fame, their wings

189
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: that they have you like, is called a thing called

190
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: chateaubriand really, and you can get it all the way

191
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: up to like sixty four ounces of this thing, right,

192
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's huge, it's and it's it's a tenderloin.

193
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's a tender I don't know what it's

194
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: what kind of beef it is, but you can get

195
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: it as smaller as big as you want. And it's

196
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: chateaubriand for two is the thing you get to going

197
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: with a date and you get it. And you could

198
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: cut that thing with a with a butter knife with

199
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: a four and it's just a yeah. So that's so

200
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: if beef could fall off the bone, that would be it.

201
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. But but even so that beef pork

202
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: still right when we when we went over to London

203
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: for the Bills Jacksonville game in twenty fifteen. Right, I

204
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: had a very difficult time finding good food. Right, it's

205
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: different England struggles, they really do. So I went to

206
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: an establishment, not going to remember the name. I asked

207
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: for a hamburger. It was like a hockey puck. It

208
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: was terrible. Yeah. I asked them, do you have any pickles?

209
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: Because I like pickle chips on my burgers generally. The

210
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: guy looked at me like I had three heads. What happened?

211
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: You do you mean, sir, Mike? You know pickles sliced

212
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: like sliced pickle chips, like there you put them on

213
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: a hamburger. The guy had no concept of what I

214
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: was talking abouts. Let me see what I can find

215
00:12:52,920 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: for you. He comes back with pickled relish. That was

216
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: the best they could do. I gotta tell you right now.

217
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: I had a whole new respect for US beef after

218
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: that trip. Oh yeah, because what they got over there, Well,

219
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: it's because there's no reason anyone should be overweighting. They

220
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: live on an island. No one should be overweighting that country.

221
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Though the food is awful, Well yeah, it's awful. Yeah,

222
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Like it's terrible. I mean in terms of native food.

223
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, you got after fish and chips. The list

224
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: is pretty short over there. It's terrible. Yeah, I listened.

225
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: We went to Ireland a few years ago. We spent

226
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: eight days there. I must have had fishing chips like

227
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: ten times. That's that's the way to go. Yeah, I

228
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: don't know when you get that right, you know, if

229
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: somebody makes a good bangers and mash, you know, yeah, yeah,

230
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'm with you. But man, the list is

231
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: short over there. It is short. I remember that. Yeah,

232
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: you can't miss with you can't miss with pork though.

233
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: And bet here's the thing. So I was. I was

234
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: at Bruce Smith's golf tournament, and sometimes it was a big,

235
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: one of these big things, two golf courses, like six

236
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: gazillion people there, food everywhere, right, So I'm sitting there

237
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: and and just because I remember it this way, Marino's there,

238
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Dan and Marine we're friends. Yeah, this is years ago,

304
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: you can eat over and over again. But I don't

305
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: refrigerate it. You just leave it, leave it out, leave

306
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: it out, yeah, leave it out. Yeah. And chili, yeah

307
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: it was yeah. Yeah, I make on venison burger. I've

308
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: had some of those. See that's the thing. So many

309
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: people have never tried wild game like elk, moose, bison.

310
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: If you call bison a wild game, uh, mountain sheep, deer.

311
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Venison is very lean and when you when you're cooking,

312
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: it's not always as flavorful right in something like a chili,

313
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: because there's no fat in it, and the fat is

314
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: what kind of gives them the bone, like if you

315
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: have a bone in on something. My friend who's a

316
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: director for CBS, Mark Grant, he's a he's a Louisiana guy,

317
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: and he came up to the house we had all

318
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the CBS guys when we were doing games. We had

319
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: him to the house and he made gumbo. Oh and

320
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: so he and hell he says, was yeah, he got

321
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: to do this, And he goes, what that's the thing

322
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: when he cooked stuff. No, the people in New Orleans

323
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: no salt, no fat, no taste. Yeah, so it's got

324
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to be fat and salty and then it's good. It

325
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: can be good. So yeah, but then making the wild

326
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: game is hard to do, and when making gumbo, the

327
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: shrimp always goes in last, always last. Uh, Mike and Jamestown.

328
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: As a comment on game, what do you have? Mike? Oh? Yeah,

329
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: but I was just gonna ask Steve grown up in Kansas,

330
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: did you eat much medicine? No? I eat a lot

331
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: of it growing up in Western New York. No, there's

332
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: less you know who you know the thing? And a

333
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: lot of old guys here. And I say old guys,

334
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: A lot of old guys like me, even older than

335
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: me will tell you. In Kansas, yes, there's a lot

336
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: of deer, but there's not many hunters out there. What

337
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: the thing is they hunt? There's ringneck pheasant. Oh you

338
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: grow up hunting ringneck pheasant. That They used to do

339
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: that a lot here in Western New York until I

340
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: think they got one or two bad winners and it

341
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: decimated the population. But ringneck pheasant is a big thing

342
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: out there that's still each today. Is a cottage industry

343
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: out there. Thanks for the call, Mike. Yeah, I remember

344
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of pheasants growing up on Long Island,

345
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're around much anywhere. I

346
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: think the climate change got them. Yeah. Uh. One more,

392
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: He's not playing. So Andrew Whitworth told a fantastic story

393
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: at his when he accepted the award about he was

394
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: with the Rams this year, obviously playing and it was

395
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: like Week seven and I can't now, I'm forget the

396
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: guy's name, but he was. They finished the game and

397
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: this player on the Detroit Lions ran towards him and

398
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: was looking like b line for him. He's like, oh no,

399
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: what you know? Well, he had seen the guy looking

400
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: at him all through pregames, like staring at him uncomfortably, right,

401
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: So it's weird. So the guy came in because what

402
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: is it. And the guy he's a rookie, he's a

403
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: rookie and he saw the Lions. You when you were

404
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati, you did a lot of work with the

405
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Clubs, and you took a lot of

406
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: time and spent with me, and you told me about life,

407
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: and we spent a lot of time together. And I

408
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: just want to let you know I made it. You know,

409
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: that's pretty touching. Yeah, I mean, Whitworth had played I

410
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: think this was his eighteenth season, right, and unfortunately it

411
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: didn't finish well for him. He had an injury. But yeah,

412
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: this kid was a twenty two year old rookie who

413
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: eighteen years ago, it was like four or five, you know,

414
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: so early in his career. Andrew was doing a lot

415
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: of community work in Cincinnati YMCA's Boys and Girls Clubs,

416
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: pouring into young kids. And this young kid was one

417
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: of the guys in our MSG viewers are seeing it now.

418
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: He came up to him after the game and thanked him.

419
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: He thanked him and he said, I made it to

420
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: the NFL, big wit, and that it's stuff like that

421
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: that's it's more than just a great story. I mean,

422
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: it's guys like Andrew Whitworth. The guy's like Harrison, Phil

423
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: Lips and others, you know, Johnnie Sanders, Emanuel Sanders and

424
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and even guys you know, uh, guys down

425
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: the roster um you have, you have a chance to

426
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: affect people. And this Walter Peyton Man of the Year

427
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: award is uh, you know, is testament to that. And

428
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: it's great when it's great when players recognize the power

429
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: of the platform that they have and and use it

430
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: in ways like this, that's that's the great thing. And

431
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I'll throw in a little bill's tie here. Andrew Whitworth

432
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: was Kyle Williams college roommate. They are very good friends.

433
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: Played at LSU together in college. Imagine those two, yeah, right,

434
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: that's a couple of that's a couple of. Picture that

435
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: dorm room where the two and the two beds that

436
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: are creaking and growing over those two. You see the

437
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: humanity like if it was the two bad they had

438
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: to replace the beds after those guys. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers

439
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: winning back to back MVPs becomes just the second player

440
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: in NFL history to win four MVPs. The other is

441
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: Tom Brady who has won five. And Rogers was interviewed

442
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: by NFL Network and he said, well, I've got some

443
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: decisions to make for sure. Yesterday was the first day

444
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: that kind of felt like the offseason. I had a

445
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: couple of things I had to do before I got

446
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: back to the West Coast, and then I actually was

447
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: out and blah blah blah's talking about where he's been.

448
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: He said, So, I'm going to enjoy the next couple

449
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: of weeks. I've had good conversations with Green Bay. I'll

450
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: do some contemplating and make a decision here pretty quick.

451
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: Now we know that Rogers stats are off the charts.

452
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've seen a better thrower in

453
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: the history of the league in terms of accuracy, not

454
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: saying best quarterback, best pure thrower, in terms of accuracy

455
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: and putting it on people, I don't know if I've

456
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: seen better. Now. Yeah, here's the thing that impressed me

457
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: the most of all his statistics. Okay, Rogers again this

458
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: year was phenomenal when he needed to lead the Packers

459
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: to come back wins. He finished first in the league

460
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: in completion percentage, passing yards per attempt, touchdown to interception ratio,

461
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: and passer rating when his team was behind. This year,

462
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: his completion percentage when his team's behind on the scoreboard,

463
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: seventy one point eight passing yards per attempt when his

464
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: team is behind on the scoreboard, nine point two touchdown

465
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: to interception ratio, fourteen to two passer rating one twenty six.

466
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: Now here's the best part of it. His thirty seven

467
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: and four touchdown to interception ratio was the third highest

468
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: in a single season in NFL history and one of

469
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: the sixth highest marks all time. Touchdown to interception ratio

470
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: third highest in a single season ever, one of the

471
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: six highest of all time. He has all six of them. Yeah,

472
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: all six of the touchdown to interception ratio league. He's

473
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: got the top six ratios in league history. Yeah, that's

474
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: why he's elite. That's why. That's insane. Even that's why

475
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: playing in Green Bay, that's why he is consistently got

476
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: his team to like thirteen wins, eleven wins, twelve wins,

477
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, and get some deep in the playoffs every year.

478
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: It's interesting that that's not enough for that Green Bay

479
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: Packers to win another Super Bowl. That's extraordinary. It's it's yeah,

480
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: it's all. It almost looks like a statistical anomaly, and

481
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: yet you think about it, it's over the course of

482
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: sixteen years, and unfortunately believe that like the only thing

483
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: I would possibly compare it to would be the Drew

484
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Breestat with five thousand yard passing seasons. I think he

485
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: had seven of the nine there was ever, yes before

486
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: the league went to seventeen games, and I think unfortunately,

487
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: with the league going to seventeen games and probably eighteen

488
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: games in the not too distant future, that record will

489
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: lose its impressiveness. But that would be the only thing

490
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that I think you could put on a par with

491
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: this touchdown to interception ratio. He has the six highest

492
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: marks of all time. He has all six of them. Yeah,

493
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: that's nuts. Yeah, when you think about the quarterbacks that

494
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: have played like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, they're not even

495
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: up there. He's got all six of them. That's crazy,

496
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and I it's, yeah, good for him. I know he's

497
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: only got one Super Bowl ring to show for it,

498
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: but I mean that. I mean, he's gonna be a

499
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer. We know this, but my god,

500
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: and we always have this thing, particularly if anybody who

501
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: spends time on football social media, they got this big

502
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: slogan that it's almost a slogan now it's like wins

503
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: are not a QB stat. And because when people talk

504
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks, they always bring up all he hadn't won

505
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: this many games, hasn't won that man like Matt Stafford

506
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: and Detroit, you know, didn't win many games and well

507
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: or wins a QB stat or not. And Stafford you

508
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: put together a fantastic career on a team that never

509
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: won many games. So Rogers' career, I mean the fact

510
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: that he started. It took him three years to actually

511
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: get on the field because of Brett, the presidence of

512
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Brett Farve and all of that. And then once he did,

513
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: he has taken the league. He has been one of

514
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: the top one or two with Tom Brady. He's played

515
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: at the same time as Tom Brady and has won

516
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: four MVPs. He's just been off the charts good. And

517
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: the thing about it, too, is a consistent consistency every

518
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: single year. They don't get it's a big thing. They

519
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: don't They've never drafted a number a receiver number one.

520
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: He's doing it with guys who are everybody else had

521
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: a chance to pick and wouldn't you know, and they're not.

522
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: Now these guys aren't cast offs, but certainly they never

523
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: got a massively touted college wide receiver or running back

524
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: for that matter, for the Green Bay Packers. He's done

525
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: it with other people, and obviously he's done it very well. Unbelievable.

526
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of Packers, we're going to talk to a former

527
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packer by the name of

528
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Taylor. Their former offensive lineman. Will be joining us

529
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: in our number two about a half hour from now,

530
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: and he is a draft analyst for CBS Sports. Former

531
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Packers first round pickback in ninety four and was part

532
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: of their Super Bowl thirty one winning team, the team

533
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: with Brett Farve that beat the Patriots. He's also got

534
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: a couple of good stories, including one on you're a

535
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: good friend Don Biebe, who obviously went to what was

536
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: that his fifth or was it his sixth? Super Bowl?

537
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: Beach that was his fifth fifth and they they watched

538
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: one as well. Yeah, so they won the fifth one went.

539
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: He was one in five in Super Bowls. Yeah, one

540
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: of I think a handful of people up to that point.

541
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Where now there's some Patriot guys who obviously have been

542
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: to a bunch, but Tom Brady one of them. But

543
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Babs was one of two people who had been to

544
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: six Super Bowls and they were both members of our

545
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: team for the four Super Bowls in Buffalo, Mike Lodish

546
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: who went to two with Denver Broncos, and Don Baby

547
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: who went to two with the Packers after the subsequent

548
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill years, and he'll also be talking to us

549
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: about mental health and sports, so a good message there

550
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: from him as well. We look forward to that final

551
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: half hour of the show. We'll also have the latest

552
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: installment of Tasker's teammates, so you want to stay tuned

553
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: for that as well. We will take a break here,

554
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: but when we come back. We heard from a few

555
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: Bills through the course of the NFL Honors programs and

556
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: on radio row at the Super Bowl. We will bring

557
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: you up to speed on what was said. And Josh

558
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: Allen was a part of that NFL Honors show last night.

559
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: We'll let you know how he did next Here on

560
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kid to Health, It's Buffalo

561
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

562
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on a Friday

563
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: before Super Bowl fifty six. As we mentioned, NFL Honors

564
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: show was on last night. It's basically the Oscars for

565
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, and Josh Allen was incorporated into the evening's

566
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: festivities by host Keegan Michael Key, the comedian who's often paired.

567
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: You know, people know him from Keyan Peel and the

568
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: funny skits those guys do as comedians. But he was

569
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: hosting the show last night, and he was commenting on

570
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: how much fun everyone was having through the course of

571
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: the evening, and he plopped himself down next to Josh

572
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: Allen and this happened. This is so much fun a

573
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: show like this, you just want it to go on

574
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: and on and on and on and on. Am I right,

575
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Or you just ended in a way that

576
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: makes sense, is fair and gives everyone an equal opportunity

577
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: to win. He carried it off have a nice pregnant

578
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: pause with the or line. Delivery was excellent there, So

579
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: good on Josh for playing along with the NFL Honors show.

580
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: He is obviously referring to the lack of an opportunity

581
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: for Buffalo's offense to get on the field and overtime

582
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: in the divisional playoff against Kansas City. I told you

583
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: my family had an event this last weekend, and we

584
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: were back in Kansas where I grew up and my

585
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: family still lives and all that. So obviously it's big

586
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: time Chiefs country. I could not tell you how many

587
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans felt exactly the same way as like, because

588
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: they didn't nobody wanted the game to end. Yeah, right,

589
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: and they said they were saying, that's that's why we

590
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: want to change the rules. So that didn't happen. Because

591
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Bills fans are still smarting over losing

592
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: the coin toss and stuff. The Chiefs went through the

593
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: exact same thing three years before this with the Patriots

594
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: right doing the exact same thing on both sides. They've

595
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: been on both sides now of winning the coin toss

596
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: and losing the coin toss and overtime and having your

597
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: game go the way the coin toss did, so just

598
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: like the Bills did. So all the Chiefs fans when

599
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: I went back this last weekend, they were all they were,

600
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, they were kind of the same real of course,

601
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: they were all positive and happy, but they were all like, wow,

602
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: they could really commiserate with the Bills fans and thought,

603
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, they were nothing but respectful. It's awesome to

604
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: see how that what they thought the exact same thing

605
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: that Bills fans thought about that game and how it went.

606
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs was making the rounds at Radio Row as

607
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: well out in LA and he appeared on the Man

608
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: to Man podcast with Darius Butler and Antoine Buffet, and

609
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: he he was asked about the importance of being an

610
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: unselfish player. Both Butler and Bethet were pointing to his

611
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: stat line in the divisional playoff against the Chiefs, which

612
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: was three receptions for seven yards. Obviously, Gabriel Davis was

613
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: going off because for much of the game, Diggs was

614
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: getting bracketed, you know, by the corner in the safety

615
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: and you know they were double teaming him. But that

616
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: what that was doing, actually, Steve was it was pulling

617
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: a safety out of the middle of the field. And

618
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 1: it's part of the reason Gabe Davis went off. Here

619
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: is Digg's take on being wide receiver number one and

620
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: not being the focal point of the offense in the

621
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: divisional playoff. I thought his answer was was very team oriented.

622
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: Here's staffun like I even talked about it with the media.

623
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm light his listening. I'm trying not to live in

624
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: that live in that realm of all right, I want

625
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: to revenge. I want X y Z for myself because

626
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: when you get into playoffs, it ain't about you. I'm

627
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: saying the regular season, Accolade is Pro Bowl, all that,

628
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: all that, that's some regular season. Like when you get

629
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, it come down to winning. And of course,

630
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: like as a as a dog, y'all know me, so, like,

631
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: of course I want a hundred catches. Of course I

632
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: want to be targeted every player. Of course I want

633
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: to make that impact. But for that game, Um, I

634
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: couldn't go to my quarterback and demand the ball. I'm

635
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna do that. He was playing a

636
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: hell of a game. I'm saying, gay David four touchdowns,

637
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: was in the playoffs and we're scoring thirty six points.

638
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: I don't give who having a I don't who's scoring,

639
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: who's getting the credit. It's all about who eat Because

640
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: me I ain't. I don't shy away from being confident.

641
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: People know me and they know what I could do.

642
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, when you have games like that, I

643
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: had three catches for seven yards, I'm like, yeah, I

644
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: wish I would have had a lot more him saying,

645
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: but having a lot more at the expensive losing. That's selfish. Yeah,

646
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: if I say I'm a winner, who like I say

647
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: I am, You're gonna will I'm gonna be willing to

648
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: take the top off and clear it out for for

649
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: an in cut, I'm gonna be willing to get doubled

650
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So the middle of the field

651
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: while open, you got a single safety man and man,

652
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: that's you kind of got a bite and I got

653
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: big enough shoulders to carry the weight of saying I'll

654
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: sacrifice for my team to win. You know what I'm saying,

655
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: because I mean, at the end day, I still feel

656
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: like I know I'm nice, I know what I could do.

657
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't I'm getting open on double teams, I'm I'm

658
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: getting open on single coverage. It's not about me and

659
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: what I can do personally, because per personally, I feel

660
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: like I'm the guy, so I feel like i'm him.

661
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: So I ain't really pushing that, but far as for

662
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: my team to be pushed into another stratosphere of just

663
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: push making that super Bowl, pushing doing all that, I

664
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: gotta do my part of getting everybody else say they're

665
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna get open on their own. But if I can

666
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: take attract two safeties or do whatever man part of that, yeah,

667
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: trust me, from two dbs, it helps. I want four

668
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: times now, I want a million yards that game. Look,

669
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: that's the game plan. If I get some opportunities, cool.

670
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: If I don't listen, I'm trying to win. It's hard

671
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: to argue with that. And Steve, I've seen this before

672
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: from other players around the league and referring to the

673
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: culture that Sean McDermott has cultivated here. And while there

674
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: is heavy buy in here at one Bill's drive from

675
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the players top to bottom on the roster, it has,

676
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 1: I would argue that it has better staying power here

677
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: in Buffalo because some of the people that abide by

678
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: that mantra are some of the best players and leaders

679
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: on the entire team. It's guys like Diggs and Allen

680
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: who are leading the charge on this is the way

681
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: we do things here. Everybody else just falls in line.

682
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl teams I was on, the best players

683
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: were the hardest workers, and they were unselfish, and you know,

684
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: they had a stretch that was unprecedented for that reason.

685
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: And I've heard I've talked to other teams. Obviously, I

686
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: know other players on great teams, you know, Michael irv

687
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: and Emmett Smith, Troy Aikman, those the triplets there, and

688
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: other other teams like you know, the Jerry Rices and

689
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: the Steve Young's, the Brent Joneses of the San Francisco teams.

690
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: You know all you go down the list of all

691
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: these great teams, and I've talked to guys who were

692
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: not Alway himself, but guys who were on always teams

693
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: there they won two Super Bowls at the end of

694
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: his career. They all say the same thing about how

695
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: much love and respect there was in the locker room.

696
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: But they also knew that that the guys who made

697
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: it go, the great ones were two things. They were hard,

698
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: hard workers, and they were unselfish. They were for the

699
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: guys on their team. They were for the success of

700
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: all of us. The rising ocean lifts all the ships,

701
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: so if it's successful, everybody gets lifted by it. And

702
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: that's what the Mantras and Steph Diggs. I think most

703
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: Bills fans, particularly the ones locally here who watched the

704
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: team and read about it every day, and not to

705
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: say that you don't do that out in a way

706
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: and off in other parts of the world. But there

707
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: was a marked change, a noticeable change in the at

708
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: least the perception about Steph Diggs. When they made him

709
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: a team captain at the beginning of this last year.

710
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: He welcomed it and felt a great responsibility for it.

711
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: And being a football captain isn't like being a hockey captain.

712
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: It's a little different. It's not quite like that. Yeah,

713
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: but there is something there and he took it extremely

714
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: seriously and as well you should, because it's not only

715
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: a vote of confidence and something, but it's also I

716
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: think when they named Steph Diggs a captain, there was

717
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: a level, There was an expectation placed on him and

718
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: he placed on himself, and I think it was illustrated

719
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: in that sound bite. We just saw he he changed

720
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: himself and became something this year that he hadn't been

721
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: to this point in his career. Emmanuel Sanders also made

722
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: the rounds. He was on NFL Network yesterday, as you know,

723
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: his contract is up, he is set to become a

724
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: free agent, and he was asked if he's going to retire,

725
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to read you His response quote Josh was like,

726
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: let's run it back. Right now, I'm in a position

727
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: where I'm the oldest receiver in the league and I

728
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: have a son who's going to turn eight. I've got

729
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: some decisions to make on if I still want to

730
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: continue to play. I'm missing out on my son's games,

731
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: and I'm moving my family around, so I have a

732
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: lot of things to consider. Right after the playoff laws

733
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, Josh was telling me, hey, let's run

734
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: it back, and I was like, man, give me some

735
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: time to reflect and see how I feel. He mentioned

736
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: he is the oldest receiver in the entire league, but

737
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: he said if I do decide to play, it would

738
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: be back in Buffalo. I don't know if that's going

739
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: to happen. As I mentioned, he's thirty four. I believe

740
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: he turns thirty five before next season. I just marvel

741
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: at the fact that he has played. I believe it

742
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: is now five NFL seasons since suffering an Achilles injury. Yeah,

743
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL at the tail end of

744
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: his career after an Achilles rupture. I mean, you got

745
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: my respect, man, I mean that is to me, that

746
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: is rare. Yeah, Like that is a serious, serious injury

747
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: and for such a high impact position with so much running, cutting, stopping.

748
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Starting five more years in your thirties after an Achilles injury. Yeah,

749
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: tip my hat man, Absolutely, it was. It was. It's

750
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: an unheard of recovery before before Kobe Bryant did it

751
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I didn't know it could be done.

752
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: But when I played, that was an end. That was

753
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: a career enduring. It was worse than it was worse

754
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: than a knee injury, a ruptured achilles. You're done. The

755
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: trainers that I played with and for told me that

756
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: a number of times, pop Achilles. Yeah, that's it's it

757
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: for him. That's no way. They're not coming back from that.

758
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: But to have him do that, and obviously you know

759
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: they're still working at it, but it takes it takes

760
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of commitment to overcome an injury like

761
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: that and to get back to where you're supposed to

762
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: be and can be and we can compete. Oh my gosh,

763
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: you say that while he went through rehab, that that

764
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: doesn't do it justice. It doesn't do it justice. You live, eat, sleep, breathe,

765
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: and and you know you that's all you do, that's

766
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: all you do until you're back. It's just it's an

767
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: unbelievable story to have these guys go through that and

768
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: to have come back and played well at it. Yeah,

769
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: and to have him come back and put that many

770
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: more years behind himself. And after that it's you're right, Yeah,

771
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: And I had the numbers wrong. It was only the

772
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: last three seasons post Achilles, so age thirty two, thirty

773
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: three and thirty four seasons. Maybe it's more impressive now

774
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: last three years of his career played post Achilles injury.

775
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: Unbelievausive when you're twelve, let alone when you're thirty two. Yeah,

776
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see what decision he ultimately makes. It wouldn't

777
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: shock me though, if he decides to call it a career. Here,

778
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: but stranger things have happened. We have to take a break.

779
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to take a look

780
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: at just where the Bengals hooday chant originated from. It's

781
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: an interesting story and you may not be surprised to

782
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: know it involves beer. That's coming up next here on

783
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalota Health. It's Buffalo Bill's

784
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: Radio All Right Friday on one Bills Live and Chris Brown,

785
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you told you before the break, we

786
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: were gonna reveal the origins of the hooday chant that

787
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: Bengals fans often used during their home games. Hohoday, hood

788
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: Whoda think going to beat them Bengals? Who day? And

789
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: then they all shout nobody. So the origins of this

790
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: are tied to beer. Steve who to Pole Beer Company

791
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: has been a staple in Cincinnati's beer industry since eighteen

792
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: eighty five, and naturally as professional teams, you know, the Reds,

793
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: even the old ABA team. I think it was the

794
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Royals. I believe it was the Things. I think

795
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: that's the right name in any event, because yeah, I

796
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: think Oscar Robinson played for them anyway. And then the

797
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: Bengals coming in the late sixties. They were the beer

798
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: vendor for all of these professional sports franchises, you know,

799
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: so the beer's in the stands, and so the beer

800
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: vendor guys walking around, you know, the concessionaire is walking

801
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: around with the big trays, you know, with the strap

802
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: around their neck. They would shout, I got hoodie here,

803
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: hoodie because it's who to Pole beer hoodie. And some

804
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: people would call it hohod not hoodie because it's hoho

805
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: to pole, so when they shortened it, some would say hoodie,

806
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: some would say hohoda. And then in nineteen eighty one,

807
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: when the team went all the way to the Super

808
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: Bowl won their first playoff game in franchise history, the

809
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: hooda chant for beer quickly evolved into who they say,

810
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: going to beat them Bengals and often running they go.

811
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: By the time you got to eighty eight when they

812
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl again, the beer company's making

813
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: commemorative cans and all of that stuff. So that is

814
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: the origin. It's tied to the beer vendor's name. And

815
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: I actually took the time Steve to look up who

816
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: to Poll Beer Company, and on their home page it

817
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: says who to poll beer because you live in Cincinnati,

818
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: which is a total play off the Sam White line.

819
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: When people were throwing snowballs at a Browns Bengals game,

820
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: they were throwing snowballs at the at the Cleveland bench

821
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: and at players and at coaches, and the crowd was

822
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: warned by the PA announcer, if you keep doing it,

823
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: the Bengals are gonna get penalized unsportsmanlike conduct, fifteen yard penalties,

824
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: what have you. The snowballs kept flying. So then Sam

825
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: White asked for a microphone, spoke to the crowd and said,

826
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: you know how to behave like good citizens, you'll live.

827
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: You don't live in Cleveland, You'll live in Cincinnati. So

828
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: they jumped on that too, so good on them. I

829
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: thought that was an interesting story. I never would have guessed,

830
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: and that's how it originates. I had no idea it

831
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: was the beer company. And as we know, the New

832
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints have the Houdat chant, which apparently is a

833
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: very common question or phrase that is used in New Orleans.

834
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati claims they had theirs in eighty one and that

835
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: the Saints didn't. The Saints fans didn't adopt it as

836
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: a chant in their stadium until eighty three, so there

837
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: is some some disagreement there as to who had a

838
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: chant before the other. It sounds like, and I hear

839
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: you say in these eighty one for the Bengals, you know,

840
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: and that thing, and when they went there for Super

841
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Bowl and then eighty three, just like forty years ago.

842
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: I know, I forget how old we are. I been

843
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: a minute oof, it's been a minute. Wow. But I

844
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: thought that was a fun story. I had not known,

845
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: so I figured maybe our listeners might wane. I do

846
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: remember that. I do remember it was. It was happening

847
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: then the eighty eight when we um and eighty eight

848
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: when we went to Cincinnati for the AFC Championship game.

849
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: They were saying that was a thing then, and it

850
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: had I thought it was right then went around then

851
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: when it started, but I guess it was the first

852
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, which was you know, eight years before, seven

853
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: years before that. Yeah, we have to take a break

854
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: here because when we come back, we will be joined

855

Speaker 1: for CBS Sports, Aaron Taylor joining us on the show. Aaron,

875
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: good to have you. Once I read that off, I

876
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: was like, holy cow. The Bills had a first round

877
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: pick out of Notre Dame in ninety four. It was

878
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: Jeff Burris, So you guys were both first rounders that year. Yeah.

879
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: I was just talking with Jeff today. As a matter

880
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: of fact, man, we all look back at that time

881
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: in our lives and we were so wide eyed and

882
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: bushy tailed and optimistic about what was gonna go down.

883
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: And he went to Buffalo, and I went to Green Bay,

884
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: and Bryant Young just went to the Hall of Fame

885
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: last night went out to San Francisco. So we've all

886
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: been kind of reminiscent. But Buffalo still holds a big

887
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: place in Jeff Burrs's heart. I'll tell you that. Yeah,

888
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: he's He was a teammate of mine as well. And

889
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: you also had a I play with you as a

890
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: teammate in don Beebe. You guys won the Super Bowl together,

891
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's a small world. When you get

892
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: up and start playing in the NFL, spend any time

893
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: around it. You start rubbing up against a lot of

894
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: people you have mutual friends with. What's going on. Give

895
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: us a sense of the vibe in la I know

896
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since the super Bowl has

897
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: been out there. You've been up there, I know you

898
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: live out there. Gives a sense of how it's being

899
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: received by the city. The city's loved it, right. They've

900
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: largely cleaned up the downtown area, which is good in

901
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: some respects and not so good in others, And to

902
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: stay away from the density of what's taken place down there.

903
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: It feels safe, it feels fun, it feels festive, and

904
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: it's starting to build. We're still at the very tail

905
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: end of the coronavirus pandemic, as it seems, so. I

906
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: think what we saw last or two years ago in Miami,

907
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: there were about three hundred tables at Radio Row none

908
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: last year. Obviously this year there's about one hundred and

909
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty hundred and thirty, so people are starting to feel

910
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: comfortable to come back. The parties have been good. Has

911
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: been great to bump up with old friends. But you

912
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: know Steve better than anybody that as the week progresses,

913
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: there's this building anticipation that goes on. And we're in

914
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: the city of bright Lights. The Rams have a ton

915
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: of star players, so I think it lends itself well

916
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: for a city in an area of the country that

917
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: has been starved for Super Bowl action for quite some time.

918
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: Ye got two very young head coaches in this matchup.

919
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: I think it's the youngest head coaching duo facing one

920
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: another in a Super Bowl ever in Sean McVay and

921
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, who actually worked together as well. I know

922
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: McVeagh has been there before. You had Mike Holmgren right

923
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: as head coach in Green Bay. He had been there

924
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: before several times with the forty nine ers as an assistant.

925
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember what his overriding message was like about

926
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week? So as not to make too much

927
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: of the whole pomp and circumstance and just go out

928
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: play the game. That was kind of the general understanding,

929
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: but I think the nuances of that and how to

930
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: execute that was really where I think his experience lent itself.

931
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: But the very first thing that Holmrin did to make

932
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,959
Speaker 1: sure that we understood what we were about to walk

933
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: into was have Jim McMahon and Dom beebe get up.

934
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: Task was talking about me being a former teammate of babes.

935
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: Those were the only two dudes as players that were

936
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: on our roster that had any experience, and they both

937
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: got up and said the exact same thing, and that was, boys,

938
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: buckle your jump. You about to go through two weeks

939
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: of an experience that you have never seen or even

940
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: thought about going through. So I was given interviews to

941
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: Japanese reporters, what translators MTV was there that one girl, Kat,

942
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: who I had a low key crush on, interviewed me

943
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: and I was all smitten. There were so many different distractions,

944
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: family needing, hotel rooms, tickets, who do we sell our

945
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: tickets to. I hope we're past the statute limitation on that,

946
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: by the way, But there were so many different off

947
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: the field and sillary things that were going on that

948
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: The guy's message was simple, make first things first and

949
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: make what's most important most important. That is extremely hard

950
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: to do with so many shiny objects and distractions that

951
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: are attracted to the super Bowl. I've always said as well,

952
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: when you get to Super Bowl week, the media crush

953
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: is so huge, and you're right because then now it

954
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: starts to leak over, not just leak over, but pour

955
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: over into the entertainment world where other entities want a

956
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: piece of what's going on with the NFL. And for

957
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: most guys you get football players are creatures of habit

958
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: and routine. Every week is like every other week. And

959
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl, so you a lot

960
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: your budget of time and attention and energy to different things.

961
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: And by what Tuesday or Wednesday of super Bowl week,

962
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: your budgeted allotment for distractions and media and all that

963
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 1: is used up on Tuesday or Wednesday. And so now

964
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: you got four days or five days left to get

965
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: to the game and you're kind of spent. It's a challenge, man,

966
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: it's a bugger. And think about this, like when we

967
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: were little kids in their backyards, all of us that

968
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: have been blessed enough to play in this game. At

969
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the highest level, you were thinking about making the kick

970
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: or the special team player, the throw, or the block

971
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: or the tackle in the big game to win it all. Well,

972
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: this for almost everybody except eleven players, ten on the

973
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: Ram side and one on Cincinnati's side. This is going

974
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: to be that game. This is their moment. These players

975
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: will remember what happens on Sunday afternoon and evening for

976
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 1: the rest of their lives, right or wrong. And Steve,

977
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: you know better than anybody how a sour taste in

978
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: your mouth and not having super Bowls go the way

979
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: you want is a lifetime of plague that tends to

980
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: follow over you. One of my greatest regrets in life

981
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: as a person was that Green Bay wasn't able to

982
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: beat Denver in San Diego in Super Bowl thirty two.

983
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: We were a better team than them, we knew it,

984
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: but we didn't execute. We got out coach, we got

985
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: out played, and we're all going to have to live

986
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: with that forever. But this distraction thing, this is a

987
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: second time in NFL history we've seen a team in

988
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl playing in the host city. We saw

989
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: it last year with Tampa and it worked out. I'm

990
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: going to suggest this. I think the Rams playing at

991
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: home this year in LA because of the makeup of

992
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: the city is actually a distraction. I believe it's a

993
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: disadvantage because these guys have had their friends, their family,

994
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: all their entertainment buddies that have been looking for things

995
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: in this city. So now you have a situation with

996
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: people that have problems with their hotel room. Is a

997
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: cool if I crash on your couch? Can you help

998
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: me out with this? And I remember when I was

999
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: a player, even with the Chargers, when I stayed at

1000
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 1: home the night before the game, or when I did

1001
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: something that was a little bit more comfortable than keeping

1002
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: it kind of the way that it was and consistent

1003
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: in terms of the preparation, my focus was off a

1004
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: little bit and I never played as well when I

1005
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: slept at home, so I stopped doing it. Were creatures

1006
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: of habit. You mentioned that earlier, and that's why I

1007
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati treating this as a true road game understandably.

1008
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: And I think a little surprisingly has an advantage because

1009
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: they're not playing at home. I know, Aaron, you're an

1010
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: advocate for mental health and the importance of it in sports,

1011
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: which has certainly gained a lot more attraction. Even in

1012
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: the last calendar year. I mean, Simone Biles, one of

1013
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: the most recognized athletes in the world, was very upfront

1014
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: and honest about the battle she would often wage inside

1015
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: her head and actually had to pull out of some

1016
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: of her competition. We've seen some more of that here

1017
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: in these Winter Olympics that are taking place in China

1018
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: right now. You know, MICHAELA. Schiffrin, one of the latest skier,

1019
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: has been dealing with some of that. And obviously there

1020
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: are probably examples, you know in American sports as well.

1021
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: When you get to the ultimate game, one that you've

1022
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: been waiting for your entire career in football, how do

1023
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: you manage that when maybe there are some days where

1024
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: some of those demons kind of get the best of

1025
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: you and serve as another distraction. Yeah, that's a really

1026
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: great question. I think it's the heart of what the

1027
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: entire world is being asked to do two years post

1028
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: COVID pandemic and the crap show that we've seen and

1029
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: all been through. Everybody has been affected from a mental

1030
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: health standpoint over these last two years worldwide. This is

1031
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: the single greatest period of instability that our generation has

1032
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: ever gone and it's happening simultaneously around the globe, so

1033
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: it's not to be understated how significant it is whether

1034
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: you've lost a job or had to shut down your business,

1035
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: or being chippy with your wife, which is what happened

1036
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: to me, holding my son as he's cried himself to

1037
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: sleep because he can't go to practice and hang out

1038
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: with his buddies and he can't go to school. It's

1039
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: been a disaster for us. So Simone Biles, who is

1040
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: largely ridiculed for not being able to suck it up

1041
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: and compete, instead of realizing that she's been dealing with

1042
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: being sexually abused by convicted rapists Larry Nasser for twenty

1043
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: plus years. We should be celebrating the fact that these

1044
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: role models are finding ways to cope with the stresses

1045
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: of depression and anxiety in their life experience. And I

1046
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: think we need to celebrate that a little bit more

1047
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: and have some candid, honest conversations to shift it to

1048
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: include not just whether you're mentally ill or not, but

1049
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: we're on the continuum, do you fall, We're all dealing

1050
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: with something, We're all going through things. So an organization

1051
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: I've been working with same here, Global you can go

1052
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: to the website same Hereglobal dot org is a global

1053
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: alliance of athletes, entertainers, musicians, people that have come together

1054
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: to talk about what this animal is. It's called mental health,

1055
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: so that we can decrease the stigma and start to

1056
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: implement things to help us enjoy these incredible lives that

1057
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: we've been given. Is there any way of quantifying or

1058
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: getting a handle on how this two year pandemic has affected,

1059
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, people in unexpected ways, both kids going to

1060
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: school and masks, or the vaccinated, non vaccinated, travel, not

1061
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: travel in person versus remote work. Every industry and every

1062
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: person has been affected by it in some ways or

1063
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: any way to get your arms around what that has

1064
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: meant to the collective consciousness of our country and the

1065
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: world at large. It's a little early, but what the

1066
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: early data and indicators look to be is that we

1067
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: are in the very early innings of a mental health

1068
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: pandemic that I think history will look back on and

1069
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: very much is going to rival what we saw on

1070
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: the health side, the physical health side from the virus itself.

1071
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: We are in the early innings, guys, of a tsunami

1072
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: that is coming, that is already starting to show up

1073
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 1: and what the data shows with the year over year

1074
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: increases of self mutilation and harm against young girls of

1075
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: what's taking place with boys on the educational system, basically

1076
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: a lost year of learning, a lost year of socialization.

1077
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: We have no idea how that's going to affect us,

1078
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this, It's affected me. And it

1079
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: was as simple as having four games in a row canceled,

1080
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: where I'd done all the work, all the prep and

1081
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: got there and boom, it was like Lucy and Linus.

1082
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I went to kick the ball and it wasn't fair.

1083
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: That constant letdown was really difficult for me to do with.

1084
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: So what did I do? I came home and I

1085
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: yelled at my wife and was chippy with my kids,

1086
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: and they got affected by it, like it was. This

1087
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: two year period man of instability that has been a

1088
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 1: real challenge. So knowing that and being able to let

1089
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: go of some of all that stuff that we absorbed

1090
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and had to find a way to compete through is

1091
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: going to be critical as we move forward. In same here,

1092
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Global dot org as a website where you can go

1093
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,919
Speaker 1: and it's a global alliance of people that share those

1094
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: tools so that we can start to begin this process

1095
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: of healing that really probably has a lot more way

1096
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: to go before it starts to get better. On a

1097
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: much brighter note, Aaron, you are probably the might be

1098
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: one of the only guys with this current Pro Football

1099
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame class that as a former college teammate

1100
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: and a former professional teammate in the same induction class.

1101
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: You've got Bryant Young, who was obviously your teammate at

1102
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, the all decade defensive tackle in the nineties

1103
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers. They're all time sack leader

1104
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: as well, along with Leroy Butler, the all decade safety

1105
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: with the Packers. And you got to confirm this for

1106
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: me because I saw this last night and I said, Man,

1107
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, did he really? Was he the

1108
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: first to do the lambo leap? Yep? He is. He's

1109
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: not largely credited with it, but if you take a

1110
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: look at his Twitter handle, that'll tell you all you

1111
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: even know about who wants to take responsibility for the

1112
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: lambo leap. Leroy was the consummate teammate. Man. He is

1113
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: a brilliant addition to the elite of the elite of

1114
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: pro sports. For the NFL Hall of Fame, and I

1115
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: was really happy to see him be in there. He

1116
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: was a hell of a player on the field, but

1117
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: it was also a great teammate. He was a Florida

1118
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: State guy that was kind of jovial and like he

1119
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: was the levity for the defensive backfield and we had

1120
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: some dudes on that defense. I got to watch him

1121
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: play every day. I got to watch Gilbert Brown play

1122
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: every day. I got to watch Reggie White play every day.

1123
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,479
Speaker 1: And the roy was as good as all of those

1124
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: guys and is a welcome addition to the NFL. And

1125
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: what can you say about Brian Young? Me, him Jeff

1126
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Burris were three of the four captains our senior year

1127
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame, and I took my very first rep

1128
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: on campus at Notre Dame to do the leverage drill.

1129
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: No pads, just helmets. You fight for hand position and leverage.

1130
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: We still made it. We still made it for the

1131
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: next four years. But somewhere along the line we both

1132
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: got drafted. He continued to get better and I continue

1133
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to get hurt. So I'm super happy for him. We

1134
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: just got back from Panama celebrating his fiftieth birthday with

1135
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a fish and trip but he wanted this for a

1136
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: long time and he's as good as they get as

1137
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a person, player and teammate. Well, Aaron, let's get to

1138
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: the game this weekend. What are your thoughts on both

1139
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: these clubs. We've talked a lot, and you said you

1140
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: alluded to it. The star studded roster, high priced, star

1141
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: studded free agents, high draft picks of the Los Angeles

1142
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Rams and then the Cincinnati Bengals, who for years have

1143
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: been you know, this mom and pop organization. You know,

1144
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: like you got people in you know, you got an

1145
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: LA Rams And some of these teams have three hundred

1146
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: people in their building and the Bengals got like ten

1147
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: people working for right, So what are your thoughts on

1148
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: how this game and the philosophies of both clubs play out.

1149
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: It's really interesting, Steve, because this game is emblematic of

1150
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: the cities that these franchises come from, right, the glitz

1151
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: and the glamour and all these stars. What should happen

1152
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday is that the greatest strength of that team,

1153
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: of their defensive front seven and ability to rush the

1154
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: passer with Leonard Floyd von Miller and Aaron Donald, should

1155
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: be able to take advantage of an interior offensive line

1156
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: in the right side that have struggled mightily, given up

1157
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: the third most sacks in the NFL this season. But

1158
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: with all that said, and you guys know as well

1159
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: as anybody, this is a Cincinnati team that has somehow

1160
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: found a way to outpunch their way class. They gave

1161
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: up nine sacks in that game against Tennessee and found

1162
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: a way to win it. They went on the road

1163
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: to Kansas City and beat Patrick Mahomes, an elite quarterback

1164
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: on his home track, after being stifled in the first

1165
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: half on both sides of the football, and completely flipped

1166
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: the script. There's something special about this team. Joe Burrow.

1167
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I've always thought that the identity of a team is

1168
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: usually a reflection of its quarterback, and Burrow is as

1169
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: poised as they get. You listen to his postgame interviews.

1170
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Nothing was ever too big to him. And something tells

1171
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: me that Cincinnati's feeling the swag been led by their

1172
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: white pimp huggy bear verse of Joe Burrow, whatever outfits

1173
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: he's swearing in his post game rest conferences. That they've

1174
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: got some swag to them and they absolutely feel like

1175
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: they're going to win this game, and I think they

1176
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: somehow find a way to do it in a high

1177
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: scoring affair. Yeah, I mean, because I was looking through

1178
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: some of the numbers, and I mean you can dice

1179
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: up dozens and dozens of statistics. Leading up to this game.

1180
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: These two teams tied for seventh in the league and scoring,

1181
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: they both averaged twenty eight points per game, and I

1182
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: know Cincinnati's scoring is slightly down in the postseason from

1183
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: that number. I think the Rams are right at twenty

1184
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: seven points a game here in the postseason. But I

1185
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think it's I think it's whose

1186
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: defense really shows up here in this one, because I

1187
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: think those two offenses in many ways cancel each other

1188
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: out with the playmaking ability of their receiving corps, you know,

1189
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: and the cool, calm nature of both quarterbacks for the

1190
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: most part. What is it about Cincinnati's defense that might

1191
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: enable them to measure up and have a better day

1192
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: than that star studded defensive front that you just mentioned. Well,

1193
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: they got a nickel guy Mike Hilton that can move

1194
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: around and give you a lot of versatility on what

1195
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. We know the shift's trades and motions

1196
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: that the Rams try to do to create those on

1197
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: one matchups. We know who Cooper Cup is, we know

1198
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: the playmaking ability of OBJ. Pass rush nullifies all of that.

1199
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Tampa taught us that against Kansas City last year where

1200
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: they basically neutered to Patrick Mahomes that had an MDP

1201
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: caliber season. So the same thing could happen to Cincinnati.

1202
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: But you take a look at what the Bengals have

1203
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: been able to do. They rushed the passer, I think

1204
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: a little bit better than people think. We saw the

1205
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: play that they made against Kansas City on the road

1206
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: right before halftime. Now that ball probably shouldn't have been

1207
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: thrown or should have been thrown a little bit more

1208
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: accurately to Tyreek Hill to give him a chance to score,

1209
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But that was the play that shifted that game for them,

1210
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: and that's really been emblematic of who they've been. You

1211
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: identified to Chris, I think the matchups, what the defenses

1212
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: do to be able to nullify or create the matchups

1213
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: that are favorable for them is a really key storyline.

1214
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: And that's going to be nuanced and it's not gonna

1215
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: be as obvious it's gonna be at times. But you

1216
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: take Jalen Ramsey for the Rams, and the way they

1217
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: like to move him around at times, playing him over

1218
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,520
Speaker 1: the slot as a nickel, having him in the boxes

1219
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: a jack linebacker to rush the passer or to be

1220
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: a big box run stuff in safety. They try to

1221
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: utilize him and put him in positions of strength proactively.

1222
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: But at times they've gotten too cute and they've given

1223
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:37,799
Speaker 1: up big plays. We saw that against DeVante Adams against

1224
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: Green Bay when he pointed to his hat, say come on, guys,

1225
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you can't have those mental busts and let the best

1226
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: player on the field run free. So with two weeks

1227
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: to prepare, you can add some wrinkles, but it's imperative

1228
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: that you don't get too cute because in games like this,

1229
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need to make the great play. You

1230
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: must eliminate the bad one. And the team that can

1231
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: play the cleanness from a penalty in turnover standpoint is

1232
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: probably going to win this deal. Interestingly enough, Zach Taylor

1233
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: was on the staff that went to the Super Bowl

1234
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: with the Rams back in two eighteen. I guess which

1235
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: of these young coaches gets the most out of that

1236
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: experience and which of them coming in do you think

1237
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: is like has maybe out coached the other or you know,

1238
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: maybe the guy who makes the decision or makes the

1239
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: play or makes the coaching move that wins it for

1240
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: his team. Which one of you, guys, which guy do

1241
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: you give the advantage to in this matchup? Well, it's interesting, man.

1242
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: They're both aggressive play callers. My gut wants to say

1243
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor because he doesn't have the pressure of getting

1244
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: back there and having to win this time. That is

1245
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: a real deal and the real burden that Sean McBay

1246
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: is going to have to carry. You also have an

1247
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and Kevin O'Connell who's the head coach of

1248
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: another team. You know for a fact he's had to

1249
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: do some things to be able to get his staffs

1250
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: together that have taken them away fro the preparation from

1251
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: this game. Nobody is expecting Cincinnati to win. And you

1252
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: can't play the game of football scared. You can't play

1253
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: it slow. And I think because of that, they're gonna

1254
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: let it ride. Man, They're gonna play loose, They're gonna

1255
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: let it hang, and they're gonna be uber aggressive. And

1256
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: if you want to be the King, you gotta take it.

1257
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: And I think Cincinnati is built in. Their staff is

1258
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: more app to make aggressive play calls to get it

1259
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: done because they really feel like there's nothing to lose,

1260
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: versus the Rams who have put all their chips in

1261
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: the middle of the table, and the half twos start

1262
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: to play a role. And that's when I think teams

1263
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 1: can have a tendency to get tight. I gotta tell you, man,

1264
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: the more we get to this game, the more I

1265
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: can make a case for Cincinnati being the favorable team. Yeah, Aaron,

1266
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: we appreciate the insight on that. Last two things I

1267
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: have for you. First, what were you guys fishing for

1268
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: when you were on the fishing trip with Bryant Young?

1269
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: And second, has anyone ever told you that you could

1270
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,879
Speaker 1: be a dead ringer voice wise for James Earl Jones?

1271
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I love it. Can I be in Star Wars too?

1272
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: Or to get the money to Dames Earl Jones got

1273
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: I kind of want you to say, this is CNN.

1274
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: There's part of me. It doesn't he sound like him.

1275
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: He sounds just like I'm telling you, man, you got

1276
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you might have some secondary work on it. You gotta

1277
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: call your agent. But what were you guys fishing for?

1278
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: What you got? What'd you say you were down in

1279
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: Mexico or down in Panama? Man Central America. Was my

1280
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: first time down there. I'm a big angler offshore guy

1281
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: and we had been down there together about eleven years

1282
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: ago to catch sailfish in Costa Rica and crushed it.

1283
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 1: So we were down there targeting bill fish, sailfish and

1284
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 1: marlin and tuna, kind of halfway in between the seasons.

1285
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: So we had good but not great fishing. But I

1286
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: tweeted out a picture where by caught a really nice

1287
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: selfish on our first day, and then we hammered some

1288
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: reef donkeys, these big cubrera snapper. We kept these big

1289
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: amber jacks that just want to double your poll over,

1290
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: so it was constant action on big fish. We caught

1291
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 1: four sharks, all above two hundred pounds and were able

1292
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: to release them at the boat, and those were forty

1293
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: five minute fights where it was like you better pack

1294
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: a lunch because they were so really good time down there,

1295
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: great people, great country, super safe. The fruit and food

1296
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: was out of this world. So a great way to

1297
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: celebrate Bryant's fiftieth birthday and my god, as he had

1298
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 1: a hell of a month. Yeah, Steve Steve's got a question,

1299
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: and I know that at one point in your life

1300
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: you live, I guess next door to Andre Reid, who

1301
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: was a real close friend. Now, yeah, and also tell

1302
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: me a little bit if you have a story about

1303
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Don Beebe and his trips to the Super Bowl, about

1304
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: and some of the things that he went through as

1305
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: after going oh and four with us, he at least

1306
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: went one and one with you guys. Yeah, and that

1307
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: was a big deal for Don too. Man. As I

1308
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: mentioned early on in this interview, Homegren had him and

1309
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 1: McMahon get up and kind of walk us through and

1310
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: it basically was the best practices of all the things

1311
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: they learned not to do. Unfortunately, in those four games,

1312
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: it didn't go the way that you guys haunted it.

1313
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: So for him to be able to get a ring

1314
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 1: and finally get over that hump, I know how important

1315
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: that has been to him, and I've talked to him

1316
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: at our reunions and all the times we come back

1317
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: as a team to celebrate that. It really is the

1318
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: crown jewel of professional sports. You enter the elite of

1319
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: the elite of the elite, and I know that things

1320
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: didn't want to go the way that he wanted there

1321
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. In his heart of heart, he's always going

1322
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: to be a Buffalo bill. But he did get a

1323
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,719
Speaker 1: little bit of the stink out of his mouth by

1324
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: by having the ring with us. And Drey was as

1325
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: good of a neighbor as against. It's still one of

1326
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: my favorite houses in San Diego. We still live right

1327
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 1: next to the house that he was in and adjacent

1328
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: to me, like sharing a fence. Dennis Green, the former

1329
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: late head coach, lived right next story. That's college at

1330
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. So there was this whole small world.

1331
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: I would affectionately call it little Canton and try to

1332
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: ride those guys coattails. But it was awesome. Drey would

1333
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,040
Speaker 1: have come over and grab the proverbial this or that

1334
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: and a cup of sugar and some activator jail for

1335
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 1: that crazy hair he's gotten it. It was good having

1336
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: him as a neighbor for as long as we did.

1337
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: That's good stuff also people, Yeah, Dennis Green. I had

1338
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: nothing but love and respect for that guy. Loved him

1339
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: to death. He really helped me in my career early

1340
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: on at Northwestern, and I knew it. We thought even then,

1341
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be a better pro

1342
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: coach than he was here at Northwestern. He's fit for

1343
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: and he really showed that in his career with the

1344
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 1: Vikings and an Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, he's a great man.

1345
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I got to know him and his wife and their

1346
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: kids pretty well over the years and we still stay

1347
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: in contact with him. The game of football on this

1348
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: planet lost a great man when Dennis passed away. Yeah,

1349
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: thank you, Aaron. Really appreciate you, man. Appreciate thanks for

1350
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: coming on sharing some stories with us. My pleasure boys

1351
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 1: always happened to come on, talk to the ball, have

1352
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: some laughs, and go bills. Thank you much, Aaron. That's

1353
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Taylor, former Packers offensive lineman, former first round pick

1354
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: of the Packers, Super Bowl champion in Super Bowl thirty

1355
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: one by Aaron D with a Go bills for us

1356
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: A Sports and a draft analyst, an NFL analyst for

1357
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: CBS Sports on the website. So yeah, I'm telling you, man,

1358
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,560
Speaker 1: he sounds just like he's talking to us, And I'm like,

1359
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: why do I feel like I'm listening to James Earl Jones.

1360
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't he doesn't gotta get on a horn with his

1361
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: agent now. But it doesn't even have to be like

1362
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to be like a standing for

1363
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: his voice alone on its own would because yes, it's

1364
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: very commanding. It sounds like it's coming from the depths

1365
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: of his body. It sounds like it's coming from a giant.

1366
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Those are some pip He's a big dude. But yeah,

1367

1382
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,439

1388
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: you don't have a choice. It's born in Columbus, Georgia.

1389
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: I was a very successful multi sport athlete in high school,

1390
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: but I was lightly recruited as I was only one

1391
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred seventy pounds. I eventually accepted a scholarship to Wisconsin,

1392
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: where I not only played football but also ran track.

1393
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,799
Speaker 1: It's kind of a similar path for you. Yeah, hundreds,

1394
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: What would you say? How much do you weigh? One

1395
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: seventy Columbus, Georgia. That's right, dang it. I don't like

1396
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: it when you get it on the stats, that's right about.

1397
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: I don't like it when you get it on the

1398
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: first clue. You're doin all the fun? Play the fight song?

1399
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: What the Wisconsin fight song? Fight Wisconsin One's life fight song.

1400
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: That's what we need. Submissions When you get it right,

1401
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: put your submissions in for the tasker's teammate fight song.

1402
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: When I was wondering if I had given you, we

1403
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: don't play it. If I do get it on one

1404
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: or two games. You knew Nate was from Georgia. I

1405
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: knew I was a shot, total shot in the dark.

1406
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,560
Speaker 1: But I knew it was a smaller guy. Knew the

1407
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: guy to be fast, and you know it narrows down

1408
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: the field, so it's not gonna be you know it's

1409
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be ted so Washington, right. So he was

1410
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: an All American in track and then All Big Ten

1411
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: in football. He was only a two year starter for

1412
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the Badge. I gotta tell you I'd forgotten even went

1413
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin. Yeah, Um, two years starter for the Badgers.

1414
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: Nine interceptions, including seven his senior year. That's what put

1415
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: him on the map in the draft. Ended up being

1416
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: a high second round pick of the Bill. There has

1417
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: been a lot of great defensive backs come out of Wisconsin,

1418
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: and now there's now they got running backs lined up

1419
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: up there as well. Um, Troy Vincent. Yeah, there's been

1420
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: a ton of them, a ton of them. Yeah, even

1421
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Leonard, who was an undrafted guy had a ten

1422
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: year career in the league. Really smart player. Now he's

1423
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator. First pick up there, the first pick.

1424
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: It was a first pick, a first round draft pick

1425
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: my rookie season for the Houston Oilers. Was also a

1426
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: defensive back out of Wisconsin. And you're not going to

1427
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: remember his name. Johnson was his last name. Johnson was

1428
01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: his last name, and he was a He's really good,

1429
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,839
Speaker 1: played for a long non Chris Johnson. No, I couldn't

1430
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: tell you anyway. Yeah, So, second round pick of the

1431
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Bills in eighty seven, one of those twenty two players

1432
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 1: to be on the roster for all four Super Bowl teams.

1433
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Led the league in interceptions in nineteen ninety three with nine.

1434
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: And you tell me, Steve, which of his interceptions were bigger.

1435
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you his two most note Richard Johnson. Okay,

1436
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you two of his most noteworthy interceptions.

1437
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: You tell me which you felt was bigger. I think

1438
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: I know the answer, but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

1439
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: He had an interception in Super Bowl twenty eight off

1440
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman in the first half. Helped you guys go

1441
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: into the locker room up thirteen six at halftime. He

1442
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: also had an interception off Warren Moon in overtime in

1443
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: the comeback game that led to the game winning field goal.

1444
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: That's probably number one, right. Yeah, there was another one

1445
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: too in the nineteen ninety game early in the season

1446
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: when we beat the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. I

1447
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: had the block punt for a touchdown JD. Williams late

1448
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: in the game, and this really put a big stamp

1449
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: on the team that we were playing for. Willie Galt

1450
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: runs an out route, Nate's on him, he catches it,

1451
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: Nate just bullies the ball away from him, pushes him

1452
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: out of bounds and runs back for a pickup, rips

1453
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands and just takes off,

1454
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: just bullied him. And that was a statement about that,

1455
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, the mindset of that defense, the toughness of

1456
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, just we were getting pushed around.

1457
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 1: We were actually gonna win the game, and then you

1458
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: know they were coming back. Jay Schraider hit tries to

1459
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: hit Willie, and Nate just literally just rips the ball

1460
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: out of his hands. He already caught it, and there

1461
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: was a you know, was no replay back then, and

1462
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: you might have thought Willy might have been out of bounds,

1463
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: but by the time his back foot slid out of

1464
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: bounds when he turned to try and hang onto the ball,

1465
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Nate already had. It was going out of the way. Yeah,

1466
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: Nate had. Nate had a tremendous career here seven seasons

1467
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 1: as Taskers teammate. Signed as a free agent with Seattle,

1468
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: but it didn't go well there. He injured his knee.

1469
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: He got ever played a game for the Seahawks. He

1470
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: was playing offseason basketball and Blues acl oh never played

1471
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: a game for the Seahawks. Finished up his career with

1472
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: his hometown team, the Atlanta Falcons in ninety six, but

1473
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: appeared in only four games for the Falcons his final

1474
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: season in the league, so all twenty six of his

1475
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: career interceptions in a Bill's uniform. Nice career for him,

1476
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: very much, especially for one hundred and seventy pound high

1477
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: school grad. Not a bad career to carve out for yourself.

1478
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: So he is the latest Taskers teammate. We were unable

1479
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: to get ahold of Nate. We were trying and he

1480
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: just wasn't available at this time. Not that he was

1481
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: unwilling to come on when he just didn't wasn't able

1482
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: to fit it into his schedule. We kind of got

1483
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: ahold of far being from us to plan this ahead, right,

1484
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know where we tried. We tried, so yeah,

1485
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: so that's that, um not. I don't want to go

1486
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: go off on a tangent. You know that eighty five

1487
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: draft I was in it with Houston Oilers, where Richard Johnson,

1488
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: another defensive backout of Wisconsin and all that. Um, you

1489
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 1: know who else was in my draft class was Ray

1490
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: Childress was the top player pick number three overallive. Uh,

1491
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Frank Bush, this is your Houston Oilers draft class. You're

1492
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: giving me here. Frank Bush, who is now a defensive

1493
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: was a defensive coordinator for a minute for a couple

1494
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: of teams, has been a coach for a long time.

1495
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: Lee Johnson the punter who punned for Cincinnati when they

1496
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl in eighty eight. And then

1497
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:45,839
Speaker 1: the guy drafted right after me was Mike Golick Senior.

1498
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: That's right. We had Mike recently and these guys were

1499
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: commiserating about that draft. Twelve draft picks that year we

1500
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: had there were eleven or twelve rounds, had two first rounders. Uh,

1501
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,160
Speaker 1: so yeah, a lot of a lot of Nostali you

1502
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: going back that far right, all right? So the twenty

1503
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,919
Speaker 1: twenty two Pro Football Hall of Fame class was announced

1504
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: at the NFL Honors last night. Tony Bisselli first draft

1505
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: pick in Jaguar's history. A star in college at usc

1506
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: was the second overall pick in the ninety five draft,

1507
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: and he was part of the nineteen nineties All Decade team.

1508
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Led the Jags to their rise to playoff prominence under

1509
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin in the mid to late nineties, but shoulder

1510
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: injuries shortened his career. Leroy Butler, who we already mentioned,

1511
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: Steve a guy you played against, and I want to say,

1512
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna have this right. Your

1513
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: last game when Lonnie Johnson got lit up because he

1514
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: forgot about the return man, was that Leroy Butler or

1515
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: Darren Sharper. I think it was I think it was Sharper,

1516
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: but because I could see Butler putting a lick on somebody,

1517
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if it was him all

1518
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: decades safety and claims to be the first to do

1519
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: the lambau leap. Sam Mills, member of the Dome Patrol

1520
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Remember that defense Jackson and also a

1521
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: great one with the Carolina Panthers in the Expansion Draft.

1522
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 1: He got picked up and played very well for the Panthers.

1523
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,680
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna I was not aware of this, but

1524
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: Mills toiled in the lower in the other leagues of

1525
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: football before he got to the NFL. He was an

1526
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: undrafted linebacker out of Montclair State. Joined the Toronto Argonauts

1527
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 1: out of college after he got cut by Cleveland, played

1528
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:41,759
Speaker 1: for the usfls. I believe it was the Philadelphia Stars

1529
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,440
Speaker 1: at that point, because didn't they also play in Baltimore

1530
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore and then they moved to Philadelphia, I believe. Then

1531
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: he was released from Toronto before he made it on

1532
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: an NFL roster in nineteen eighty six, he was went

1533
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: to five Pro Bowls. He'd five feet nine inches to

1534
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: twenty five, but he's built like a he's thick, but

1535
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: five to nine and that his nickname was the field mouse,

1536
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: because that's what you know, ostensibly one of the coaching guy.

1537
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: He looks like a field mouse out there. We got

1538
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: we got a field mouse at middle linebacker. Any the

1539
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: guy goes, guy ends up going to the Hall of Fame.

1540
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: So we already heard from from Aaron Taylor about his

1541
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: former college teammate Brian Young, the forty nine ers all

1542
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: time play man that I played fourteen years. Yeah, two

1543
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: hundred and eight consecutive starts at defensive tackle. Steve, that's

1544
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:33,799
Speaker 1: hard to do. He's a freak. Another freak, Richard Seymour.

1545
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 1: Seymour was a massive man six six athlete. Yeah, and

1546
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: younger NFL fans don't know this, but the Patriots dynasty

1547
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: that we hear about that ran for twenty years. The

1548
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: infancy of that dynasty was dominated by its defense. Tom

1549
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: Brady wasn't winning Super Bowls throwing the ball all over

1550
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: the yard and five touchdowns a game. They were winning

1551
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 1: game sixteen, thirteen, and twenty to sixteen. And it was

1552
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: their defense that was the catalyst of those first three

1553
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowls that they won three and four years, no less.

1554
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 1: And he was a central figure group. He was a

1555
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 1: central figure on that defense for sure. Tay law Lawyer Malloy,

1556
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: that whole crew. Cliff Branch Raiders wide receiver. I gravitated

1557
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: to a lot of the receivers as a kid watching

1558
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 1: football as a young guy, and I loved watching Cliff Branch.

1559
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: First of all, I thought it was cool a guy

1560
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,480
Speaker 1: with number twenty one was playing wide receiver. That attracted

1561
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: me number one and then number two. He was like,

1562
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: he was like Grease Lightton out there's really fast. Part

1563
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: of all three Raiders Super Bowl winning teams in seventy six, eighty,

1564
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: and eighty three and a three time First team All Pro,

1565
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: which is hard to do at receiver. Dick Vermeio one

1566
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: of only seven coaches to lead two franchises to the

1567
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Obviously the Super Bowl win with the Rams,

1568
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: lost it with the Eagles, and an official is in

1569
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: for the first time. Known as the father of modern officiating,

1570
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Art McNally served as the NFL Supervisor of Officials for

1571
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: twenty four years nineteen sixty eight to nine. Long and

1572
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: illustrious career for Art McNally. I remember you would you

1573
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: kind of recognize his face when you see the pictures

1574
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: you remember him as an official, and for me in

1575
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: my broadcast career, the guy was in the booth. He

1576
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,600
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, he was around the league all the

1577
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,560
Speaker 1: time for years and years and years. So he congratulations

1578
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: to him and his family and the rest of those

1579
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: guys as well. Tremendous class. Good for them, and yeah,

1580
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: you just like to see it. The league just gets

1581
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: it right when they picked those guys. We will take

1582
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: a break here, Steve and I will close it up

1583
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,560
Speaker 1: with a couple of obl Fan Friday mail bag questions.

1584
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Back in a moment here on one Bill's Live all

1585
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: right to the OBL Friday fan mail Bad we Go,

1586
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 1: Christopher asked Steve. Been waiting to ask Steve this for

1587
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: a while. The game where you slid Underdon Sanders and

1588
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: grabbed his foot, was that scouting or was that spur

1589
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: of the moment circumstances, just wondering because nobody could drop

1590
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: him for no or minimum game, that was spur of

1591
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: the moment. Yeah, he can't plan that. I ran down

1592
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 1: as fast as I could. The guy was gonna block me.

1593
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: I went down, slid under his block because I knew.

1594
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: I thought I might be able to get there and

1595
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 1: cut Don off before he got going. He jumped over me,

1596
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 1: and I thought I'd missed him, and I pinned it.

1597
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: I got his ankle, I got his heel with my

1598
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: wrist and his and his toes were cut under my

1599
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: armpit and I pulled him down, and that was opening

1600
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: kickoff of the game. I would say this too. I

1601
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: bet you he never got tackled on a shorter kickoff

1602
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: return than that one. Yeah, he might have knelt down

1603
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: or run out of bounds, but I yeah, I got

1604
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 1: him on that one. He did. That's one super Bowl one.

1605
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six in La Steve is going projected

1606
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: to be the most heavily bet on game ever. They

1607
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 1: are estimating seven point six one billion, with a b

1608
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: to be wagered on Sunday. I saw a headline there

1609
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: was a five million dollar bet on the outcome yesterday.

1610
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: It's a seventy eight percent increase from last year. That's

1611
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,560
Speaker 1: according to the American Gaming Association. Good luck if you

1612
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: got a bet out there. People, None of them I
