00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,760

Speaker 1: dual role player for Stave. Steve a blimp. We're not

Speaker 1: Bills Live. As we are waiting here Chris Brown, Steve

7
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Tasker with you to join the press conference that will

8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: be announcing the partnership agreement between the Buffalo Bills and

9
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: their new stadium naming rights partner, high Mark Blue Cross

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: Blue Shield of Western New York. Steve, this kind of

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: just came on suddenly, and last night it was announced

12
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: probably around thirty when the press release went out announcing

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: this agreement. And you know, I think this was something

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: something that you know, the Bills had been searching for,

15
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: looking for a new naming rights partner. And uh, you know,

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: here we are, what about a little over a year later,

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: and boom, it's high Mark Stadium, very nice and it's uh,

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a we're gonna live, We're gonna stream

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: the live press conference here in just a moment. Right.

20
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: It is big. I mean, every every NFL team has

21
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: to have a you know, a decision about this, and uh,

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: this is a group the healthcare industry, is one that

23
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: the Bills have been partnering with have done it before.

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: So Yeah, and I think if you if you read

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: through the press release that was put out yesterday, it's

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: very clear to me that Kim and Terry Pogoula didn't

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: just want a naming rights partner for revenue purposes. They're

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: looking to make this something that has community related things

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: attached to it. And I guess what I mean by

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: that is, at least as the press release explained, they're

31
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: going to be working on a lot of initiatives that

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: are going to probably take place in the stadium in

33
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the years to come here, Like right, it sounds to

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: me like him Blue Cross, Blue Shield is going to

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: be very visible, not only in terms of their name

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: being on the outside of the stadium, but in terms

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: of all the community events that are going to take

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: place inside the stadium in the offseason, certain kind of

39
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: events for health and wellness, for the general for the

40
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: community at large. Yeah, we've I mean, the Blue Cross,

41
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Blue Shield's been in the region for like eighty years

42
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: and to have them partner with the bills like this

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: is it seems like I don't know, it's for me.

Speaker 1: It's really comfortable, right, So congratulations of the team who

Speaker 1: it is so wonderful to be here today on such

130
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: a beautiful day. Excuse my hair here, you know, listen,

131
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: it's been a while. The last time I was here

132
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: was at our game and the stands were full with

133
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: crowds here cheering our playoff game. And but here we

134
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: are now here to celebrate another wonderful occasion and just

135
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: love to see all the faces out there today. But

136
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, as you guys know, we had to do

137
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: a new search for naming naming Rice for the stadium,

138
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: and this was really something really special that we wanted

139
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: to make sure that we found a partner not just

140
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: that could put a name on a building, but also

141
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: could be really someone we felt was a partner in

142
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: our values, and our commitment to this community. And we

143
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: found those qualities in Dave Anderson and his leadership team

144
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: at Blue Cross Blue Shield. As you guys know, they've

145
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: been a longtime sponsor of the Savers, so we knew

146
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: we had a relationship already with them, We knew the

147
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: capabilities that they have, and when they kind of verged

148
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: together with Hi Mark, we were just, you know, we

149
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: just knew that this was a great fit, someone that

150
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: we could truly call our partners. You know, Hi Mark

151
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: is I'm sorry, Hi Mark is going to along with

152
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We're going to be part to make

153
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,280

Speaker 1: here today at high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield Stadium,

177
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: which going forward, will I know that's a long name,

178
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: will shorten that a little bit high Mark Stadium. It's

179
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: no secret that the Bills are beloved institution in western

180
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: New York and what better way for high Mark to

181
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: show that we plan to continue to be a part

182
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: of the fabric of this community by this partnership. Just

183
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: like football, healthcare is a team sport and partnering with

184
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills gives us a special way to continue

185
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: connecting with fans and their family over a long tradition.

186
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me while I battle the wind here a little bit.

187
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: This is more. As Kim mentioned, this is more than

188
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: just a partnership with the Buffalo Bills. It's a large

189
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: part of our commitment is to transform the stadium into

190
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: an all uncompanying asset for the community itself. It's more

191
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: than our name and much more than our name on

192
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,119
Speaker 1: a building. Together with the team and Googola Sports and Entertainment,

193
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: we envisioned the stadium to be a place where the

194
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: community will gather. Yes, Hi Mark Stadium will be the

195
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: proud home of the Buffalo Bills, but it will also

196
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: become home for health and wellness and charitable events, for

197
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: high school graduations, for high school football games, including games

198
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo public schools. We're proud of that partnership

199
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: that also that encompasses Play sixty. It's a vital program

200
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: that supports our youth health and fitness and one that

201
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: is aligned with our mission as a community based health plan.

202
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: And when we create a partnership on behalf of Hi Mark,

203
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: we create a long term relationship, a real partnership. We

204
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: have a long history of partnerships and initiatives that mean

205
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: the most to this community. We're not just a founding

206
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: supporter of Canalside, for example, we're a true partner at

207
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: the table to design programming for the community to engage in,

208
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: and we've welcomed hundreds of thousands of local Buffalonians and

209
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: out of town visitors to escape with us at Canal

210
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: Side and to get healthy with free fitness at the waterfront.

211
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Through our partnerships, we aim to bridge graphs across our

212
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,359
Speaker 1: community to ensure that all individuals have access to remarkable

213
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: experiences that will enhance their overall health and well being.

214
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: And that's why we invest in healthy programming at our

215
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Home, Holmstead Parks, our Classic Rink in East Aurora,

216
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: the Ralph C. Wilson Junior Children's Museum are among many

217
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: of the community destinations that we help to support. When

218
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: we seek new partnerships or initiatives, we think we try

219
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: to think of the big picture. How can we leverage

220
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: this partnership to have the greatest impact on the community,

221
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: which is what we intend to do here. We've also

222
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: done this through our long term partnership with the Buffalo

223
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: Sabers inviting the community to take the ice, inviting saber

224
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: tooth wherever we go. And now we're thrilled to become

225
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: the official health plan of the Buffalo Bills. This is

226
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: about reaffirming our commitment to our hometown and coming together

227
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: with our longtime partners Googla Sports and Entertainment and making

228
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: a big difference and meaningful differences in our community. We

229
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: look forward to a healthy and successful season. Go Bill

230
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: and now I'd like to turn it back over to Mike.

231
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Nice throw. Dave, you might have

232

Speaker 1: would now like to welcome four term Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown. Well,

234
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: let's let's recognize that perfect handoff from Kim Pogoula. Let's

235
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: give Kim a round of applause as mayor of the

236
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: City of Buffalo. I am pleased to join Kim Pogoula,

237
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: Dave Anderson, and all of you for this important announcement.

238
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills are an important part of our community,

239
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: representing Buffalo in Western New York on a national stage

240
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: and bringing greater attention to our city and region. We

241
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: all took great pride in the team's success last season,

242
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: and we looked forward to even greater accomplishments this year.

243
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: From Terry and Kim Pogoula to Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott,

244
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, Antoine Diggs and the entire roster of

245
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: great players. The skies the limit for our Bills, and

246
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: we're excited for the upcoming season in the newly named

247
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield Stadium. As Mayor, I

248
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: welcome the newly reconfigured high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield

249
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: of Western New York and their new association with the

250
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and I hope today's announcement is the beginning,

251
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: not the end, of high Mark's commitment to our community

252
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: and the residence of the City of Buffalo. As a

253
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: strong corporate organization, I urge high Mark to reinforce their

254
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: presence in Buffalo by building on their initial announcement of

255
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: support for our more at risk and vulnerable residents. With

256
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: a membership now of more than six million people, making

257
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: it the fourth largest Blue Plan in the nation, high

258
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: Mark can clearly send a powerful and convincing message that

259
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: they are truly dedicated to Buffalo by building on and

260
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: increasing the initial programs and incentives they will fund to

261
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: help those who have not received adequate healthcare services in

262
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: our community. I know what the consequences of healthcare disparities

263
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: are to the poor and disadvantaged in our city and region.

264
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: I urge High Mark to channel the grit and determination

265
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: of our Buffalo Bills to become champions in Buffalo for

266
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: our friends, neighbors, and relatives who have experienced the consequences

267
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: of poor healthcare, inadequate healthy food choices, and other challenging

268
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: social determinants of health. We look forward to this great

269
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: association another great and even more successful Buffalo Bills season, and,

270
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, with this talented Buffalo Bill's team

271
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: now in partnership with Hi Mark, the Skies the Limit.

298
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, two very active organizations in the community, and

299
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: it looks like they're going to pool those resources together.

300
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: Going forward. Yeah, and it's should be. I think it's

301
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things where we just you know,

302
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: after a decade, we're gonna have a ten years Does

303
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: that make it? Do you think that makes an entire

304
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: generation of Bills fans gonna just know it as nothing

305
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: but high Mark? Well? I would think so. Um, yeah,

306
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's fair to say. After it

307
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: don't take you a couple of years to kind of

308
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,719

309
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: some you know, old school die hards that will always

310
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: know as something else, right, But yeah, I think once

311
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: you're three years into this thing, it'll be readily known

312
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: and recognized as him Mark Stadium. You have the team, yeah,

313
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Josh and Sean and the Boys win a super Bowl.

314
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nothing but well yeah, I think it'll

315
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: only cement it. I think it will only cement it

316
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: all the more. Absolutely. And let's not let's not dismiss

317
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: that fact, Steve, you know, when you're searching for a

318
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: naming rights partner. And I'm not you know, dismissing the

319
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: work of people like Don Misco and ron Rique at

320
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: all when I say this, but it certainly helps when

321
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: you have a winning product on the field to convince

322
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: someone to join forces with you. So yeah, I mean

323
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: when it's great, your partnership with the team is going

324
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: to be splattered on Monday night football and national television

325
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: games and perhaps even some playoff games. There is high

326
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: visibility here for high mark. They'll get their money's worth, yeah,

327
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: no question about it, particularly if if you go deep

328
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So yeah, even it would, they would

329
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: have gotten it out of this year two home playoff games.

330
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: So with all this stadium talk, as we are on

331
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: an hour early with you here on a Tuesday, we

332
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: thought it was only fitting to kind of get your

333
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on your stadium experience and how much you miss it.

334
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: So that is our Twitter poll today as we wanted

335
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: to know from you what do you miss most about

336
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: attending Bills home games? For goodness sake, the name's changed

337
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: since the last time you were in there in full

338
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: force yea when you think about it, So we want

339
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: to hear from you eight oh three five fifty eight

00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty and on the tweet sheet

341
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live, what do you miss most about

342
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: attending Bill's home games? Because I can tell you in

343
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: the conversations that Steve and I have had, We've missed

344
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: you guys because we were at the games and it

345
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: was dramatically different last year. Yeah, we were doing the

346
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: games from the booth, Murph and I and and you

347
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: were there pregame and post game and stuff, and it's

348
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: it was so strange to be in there. But the

349
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: thing that I was disappointing for most of the people

350
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: who worked those games, either chain crews and the local

351
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: people who come in and you know, their ushers or whatever.

352
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: You miss seeing what some of the moments that we

353
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: saw this year, you know, remotely everybody watching on television

354
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: and us they're in person. We missed what that stadium

355
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: would have looked and sounded like when those moments happened,

356
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: and there was a ton of them. There was a

357
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: ton of them this last year, all those wins in

358
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: that building. It was a phenomenal time to be in there.

359
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: And I'm that's that's what I miss That's the crusher

360
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: of the whole The disappointing part about the whole thing

361
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: was the fact that you know, the Bills fans could

362
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: not be in there for those unbelievable Tarren Johnson play, Um,

363
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: all of them. Micah Hyde breaking up the helm area

364
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: against the Colts at the end of the game, like

365
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: everything ye had, the deep pass from Josh to Steph

366
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: Diggs in the Colt game. Um. The blowout of the

367
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins in week seventeen, the punch out of Justin Zimmer

368
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: in the New England game. Um, all of it. And

369
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: you know, jumping out to a like, you know, a

370
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: huge lead against the Rams, jumping out to a huge

371
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: lead against the Seahawks. Uh, in games that were really

372
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna be really hard games to win. Eight points scored

373
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: in that Seattle game and they crushed him. Um, and

374
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: just so fun to be a part of. And uh,

375
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: you know how the fans would have reacted to that

376
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: as one of the disappointing is really the disappointment of

377
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: last season. Um, even as even going to the Kansas

378
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: City and we're losing the APEC championship game. Yeah, I

379
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: think that's kind of feel like he progress. You progressed

380
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: winning fifteen games overall, hard to be disappointed about anything

381
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: we saw on the field, but the fact that we

382
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: couldn't do it together as a fan base was the

383
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: most disappointing part of all. Right, and so knowing it's

384
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: been well, it's been over a year that we've been,

385
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: you know, embroiled in this pandemic, and I don't know

386
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: if we were there yet. I don't think we were

387
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: at this point in time where we knew definitively. We

388
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: weren't kind of have fans in the stands last year.

389
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say it's been a year that we

390
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: knew what the fate was going to be. But we've

391
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: been sitting with this pandemic for the last year. What

392
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: do you miss about being in the building on game day?

393
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: Because as much as you can enjoy the game at

394
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: home on the television, there's an extra there's extrasensory perceptions

395
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: that you take in when you're around your fellow fans

396
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: and you feel the energy of the building that you

397
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: just can't duplicate at home. Yeah you can't. And it's yeah, well,

398
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: we all know, we all have our own game day

399
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: routine when you go to a game. A lot of

400
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: people go to a lot of games. Some of them

401
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: don't go to that many, but for a lot of

402
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: people who live in and around Buffalo who have season

403
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: tickets and they're like fifty thousand season tickets out. It's

404
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: a regular thing, and you have a routine, and you

405
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: have a group of people that you see and you

406
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: have regulars, and you know, that's some of I'm sure

407
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of people that's what they miss, is

408
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: that little camaraderie before you head into the game and

409
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: the fun you have before and after the game. And

410
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: I think this year would have been a much different

411
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: scenario as it has been the last since Sean McDermott,

412
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: since the Sean McDermott era arose and has become so

413
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: prosperous for Bills fans. I think it's different when you

414
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: have a fan base like it would have gotten to

415
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: this year where you're going into the stadium thinking we're

416
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna lump these guys up. Yeah, it's let's go. It's

417
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: certainly going to be a different sense of confidence, right

418
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: that fans would bring into the building going forward after

419
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: the season that they had in twenty twenty, because I

420
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: still remember Steve, there were certain they got off to

421
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: the hot starters, you know, and then they kind of

422
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: hit a speed bump there with Tennessee in Kansas City,

423
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: and I think it brought at least the seeds of

424
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: doubt back like, well, we've seen fast starts before. Is

425
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: there staying power to it? I don't know, Josh, really

426
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Were four and oh, now we're four

427
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: and two, like like, people were kind of on the

428
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: fence a little bit, and then they gut it out

429
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: a game against the Jets with six field goals, you know,

430
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: and then they came home beat the Patriots and a

431
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: nail biter, and you know, then the Juggernaut game against

432
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and then from there the only other disappointment

433
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: really was the Hail Marry game against Arizona, right, and

434
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: then it was it was on like Donkey Kong after that,

435
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: and there was nobody stopping them. They were like a steamroller. Yeah,

436
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: it was. And it changed I think the internal perception

437
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: of the fans because, and we understand Steve and I

438
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: have talked about this a lot, the scar tissue that

439
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: Bill's fans still harbor somewhere in their mental psyche, and

440
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: understandably so, when you get disappointed time and time and

441
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: time again, it takes a lot of convincing to push

442
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: that out of your head and your mindset with your

443
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: team that you root for, to think otherwise and to

444
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: truly be convinced my team's badass man, you know what

445
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean. And it and it took a while, but

446
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: I think the final, the final convincing event to do

447
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: that was the blistering of the Patriots in Week sixteen.

448
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I know I've said it many many times before that

449
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: it was my favorite moment of the twenty twenty season.

450
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: I have all the respect in the world for the

451
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: playoff victories, but Monday Night football Week sixteen, absolutely obliterating

452
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots in their own building. The only shame of

453
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: it was that were not Patriot fans to witness the carnage. Right,

454
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: That was the only disappointment that whole event. Uh yeah,

455
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: And I think that and you're right. On a national

456
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: level and a national scale, the Bills really burst onto

457
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: the scene when they, you know, won a couple of

458
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: playoff games, and I played so well down the stretch,

459
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: they started to gather. But I think one thing that

460
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: scratched a really, really big itch for Bills fans was

461
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: the thirty eight to nine thumping of the Patriots in Foxborough.

462
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: That scratched a big itch for a lot of Bills

463
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: fans and I and I get it. That was that

464
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: was when it was like, oh my goodness, you know,

465
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: this is different. And you know, to see Bill Belichick

466
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: greet Sean McDermott after that game and acknowledged the thumping

467
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: he just his team just gave the Patriots was also there.

468
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: And you know the Bill We've laughed ten times at

469
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: the phone throwing right after halftime when Dawson Knox caught

470
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball right in front of him, right in front

471
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick and then they disputed the catch wrong. Yeah,

472
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: and Belichick was frustrated with the phone call. Oh my gosh.

473
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: It was just everything about that game said and screamed

474
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be It was different. It was

475
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: different for Buffalo in New England from that point forward.

476
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: It's a shame that there is no audio for that

477
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: video because if there was, it would be a ringtone

478
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: on my phone right there is. On Twitter, they were

479
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: having all oh yeah. There was a lot of memes

480
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: like it was Tom Brady on the phone saying, Hey, Bill,

481
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: I haven't talked. Well, how's it going up there? Yeah? Right?

482
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: There was another one that said builds Tom, how's it going?

483
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: What do you mean the tacos aren't gonna get here

484
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: by the end. Of the third quarter, right there was

485
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Oh my gosh, there was what

486
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: do you mean you don't have any other quarterbacks I

487
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: can use? Yeah, there was a slew of them. It

488
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: was good. But yeah, if there was accompanying audio to

489
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: that video, it would have been my ring tone by

490
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: Monday Tuesday. It's just so it was so cathartic for

491
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: all of us who have lived through the last couple

492
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: of decades of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and and

493
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: just have it go down like that and have the

494
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: team play so well in that building. And I said

495
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: it on the broadcast a number of times. You know,

496
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: so many Bills players and so many fans all have

497
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 1: we have all this built up scar tissue and all

498
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: this extra baggage we take into those Patriot games. Steph

499
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Diggs had none of that. He's two and oh against

500
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: those guys, and he acted like it when he was

501
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: scoring three touchdowns on him on Monday night. Goodbye, and

502
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: I was loving it, waving goodbye to the eb that

503
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: was jaw Jack and him when he didn't come up

504
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: with a touchdown in the end zone on the other

505
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: side of the field earlier in the game. First series

506
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: of the game or something first or second series, and

507
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: the guys you see Jesse Jackson's talking talking bunk to

508
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, and Steph Diggs had about three last laughs

509
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: on him and uh, yeah, that's the one he missed.

510
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: This is the one he's john at him. And I asked, Steph,

511
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: I said, what did what did he say to you?

512
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: He goes, well, I can't say everything that he said

513
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: to me, but he told me like, no, fly zone,

514
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be making any plays down here, and

515
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: and right then when Steph didn't back down that early

516
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: in the game, when Steph came back, pointed, right, I

517
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: haven't said you watch your mouth, and then yeah, I

518
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: mean that's right. There is a different attitude for a

519
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Bill's player. Yeah, he told him, you're gonna be sorry

520
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: you said that. You're gonna be sorry you said that,

521
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: and he was yeah, because uh and I still remember

522
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: say still remember Steve Leavy's call of the play Tails

523
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Tails Stiff Steph dag Yeah, that was that was so delicious.

524
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: It was the whole thing. It was like a five

525
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: chorus meal. It was. It was a it was a

526
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: great drink of water after crossing a long desert, and uh, yeah,

527
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: I think that you're right. You talk about things that

528
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: you missed the fans, and that was one in another

529
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: stadium that you wish their fans would have witnessed. Yeah,

530
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: I told you that's the only disappointment of that entire evening.

531
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: So I'm there weren't Patriots fans to suffer through it.

532
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: So I walk into the exits after halftime, I'm I'm

533
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what our listeners have to

534
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: say about what they missed most about about going to

535
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: the stadium. Now that we've got a new stadium, high

536
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: Mark Stadium, high Mark Blue Cross, Blue Shield Stadium, it's

537
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: going to be the home of the Buffalo Bills for

538
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: the next decade. UM, and all the things that you

539
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing there and all as the things

540
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: that you missed seeing this last year. UM, give us

541
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: a call or tweet as we also, and also coming

542
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: up later in the show is one of our favorites.

543
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: I called him the Brant Brothers. There's Andrew Brand, Kyle

544
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand of Good Morning Football we have on during

545
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: the season. He's great guest. And then Andrew Brant of

546
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: the Moorhouse Institute of Law, Villanova University. He's going to

547
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: come on in a two o'clock hour today. Love talking

548
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: to him. I subscribe to his newsletter he writes every Sunday.

549
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: And he's the guy that ran the Green Bay Packers

550
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: for a decade. He represented players as an as an

551
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: agent before he did the job at the Packers, and

552
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: now he teaches people about how the league works. And

553
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: he's got some great insights on both sides of the ledger,

554
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: both the labor side of it as a representative and also,

555
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: of of course, his management side as a Packers president. So, yeah,

556
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: he's coming on at two o'clock. I can't wait to

557
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: talk to him. Yeah, and we'll talk to him about

558
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: this seventeenth game that looks like it is in fact

559
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: in to go through. As a matter of fact, SI

560
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: dot COM's Albert Breer just put out the full language

561
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: of the resolution that the owners are voting on with

562
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: respect to that seventeenth regular season game. And remember, Steve,

563
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: we were talking yesterday with the preseason being reduced to

564
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: three games, what happens with the Hall of Fame game.

565
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: And there is a stipulation in the language here that

566
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: says the two teams selected for the Hall of Fame

567
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: Game will play a fourth preseason game. So usually they

568
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: picked teams that have some tie into the inductees and

569
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: that particular Hall of Fame class. For example, when the

570
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: Bills had Bruce Smith and mister Wilson going in two

571
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, the Bills were selected as a team

572
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: to participate in the Hall of Fame Game. So you

573
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: look at the inductees this year, no Bills players. So

574
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills are in danger of that

575
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: this year anyway. But yeah, that is that's an interesting

576
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: little ad in there, along with what we've heard all along,

577
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: which after twenty twenty one, as early as twenty twenty two,

578
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: four of the games that are part of this seventeenth

579
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: game week, which won't necessarily be Week seventeen or Week eighteen,

580
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: I should say it'll be somewhere in the schedule for everybody,

581
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: but four of those games will be chosen to be

582
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: staged internationally as early as twenty twenty two and every

583
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: year after that, so those teams would not get a

584
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: ninth home playoff game. They would play in a neutral

585
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: site somewhere internationally, whether it's Mexico City, whether it's London.

586
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: You know Berlin, who knows where it would be. Although

587
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: the Tottenham Stadium in London is NFL ready. As Steve

588
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: and I discussed last week, they have an NFL turf

589
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: stadium that sits beneath the grass field that the soccer

590
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: team plays on there, and then that thing rolls away

591
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: on a conveyor belt and the turf field comes up

592
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: out of the ground. Yeah, so they got that. The

593
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: owners are on getting venique virtually and with my full

594
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: finger quotes here that we're meeting meeting today one to

595
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: three to to vote on this. Uh. We are obviously

596
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: we carried the press cover line. We won't carry the

597
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: owners meetings live. I'm just just so you know, in

598
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: case you're wondering we didn't. You don't know that that

599
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: would be high drama. But right, But also today with

600
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Brant coming on all around the country at East Carolina, Florida, Atlantic, Louisville,

601
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina State, Texas A and M two Lane Washington,

602
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: Alabama and Ohio State, those are the headline all have

603
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: their pro days today. All those schools are having their

604
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: pro days today. So the NFL is they're not idling,

605
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: they are shifting gears. Yeah, with nine schools having pro

606
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: days today around the country, headlined by Alabama Ohio State.

607
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: I just said Alabama Ohio State because it's alphabetical or not,

608
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: because of yeah, that's fine. Legs to either one and

609
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Justin Fields are getting all the attention

610
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: because there's this widespread debate on who the Niners are

611
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: after at pick number three, because the general assumption is

612
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence one to Jacksonville, Zach Wilson two to the Jets,

613
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: and then Niners on the board at three. Is it

614
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: Justin Fields? Is it Trey Lance, Is it Mac Jones?

615
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: It could be any of those three conceivably. Some people

616
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: are very staunchly convinced that it's mac Jones. Others are

617
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: pretty convinced that Justin Fields is the third best quarterback

618
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: in this draft. So it's a real question. It's a

619
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: major pivot point at the top of the board because

620
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: I think the top two picks are generally assumed right, wrong,

621
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: or indifferent. So pick three is seen as a major

622
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: pivot point at the top of the draft, and people

623
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: are trying to climb inside. The head coach of the

624
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, head Kyle Shanahan he's got Jimmy Garoppolo.

625
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's happy with. Jimmy hasn't played well. He's not doing

626
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: enough at that position for the Niners. They've got an

627
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 1: outstanding roster. They were in the super Bowl with Jimmy

628
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: g But he has a lot like Jared Goff did

629
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: with the La Rams, went to a super Bowl with

630
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: them and Sean mcvay's first year as head coach and

631
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: has underachieved. Sense, Jimmy geeked same kind of thing. They

632
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: got to a super Bowl and now this last year

633
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: they're they're done with him. Now. The interesting part about

634
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: it is the Niners are saying now now Jimmy's our guy,

635
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: and nobody believes him because they just spent a couple

636
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: of first round picks in a third to get the

637
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: number three pick in the draft. There's no other player

638
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: at any other position who would even come close to

639
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: warranting two firsts and a third to get up in

640
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: order to take him. It's got to be one of

641
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, that's the prevailing belief. Now, what's Kyle Shannon?

642
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: Is he gonna jump up to get Mac Jones, who

643
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: talent alone is like a mid to late first round pick.

644
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: Because he can't run high floor player. Yeah, he's not

645
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna you get the feeling with Mac Jones. He's not

646
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna stink. But how good could he be? Right, that's

647
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: kind of the thought. Really smart kid, right. Trey Lance,

648
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: on the other hand, is a little bit like Josh

649
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: Allen physically physically can run, got a big arm, gifted, gifted,

650
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: big dude, you know, big stout runner, can run, throw

651
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: the ball all over the joint. But he played at

652
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: little you know, at a South Dakota or North Dakota state,

653
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: so smaller, smaller level, you know, is he a guy

654
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: or or? And then then there's Justin Fields, who a

655
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of people like he is a little run the

656
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: low four for US today right at sixty three, two

657
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: hundred twenty five pounds. Right, he's a Lamar Jackson type.

658
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: Now I would say his deep ball accuracy is better

659
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson. Okay, so Lamar Jackson MVP. What is

660
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: And now Kyle Shanahan and everybody they're kind of leaking

661
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: it out or they're kind I don't know what they're

662
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: leaking it out. Was it the who was it the Niners?

663
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: That the emoji? The you're talking about the Bears QB. Yeah, right,

664
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: so we have to we actually have to take a break.

665
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: We will pick this conversations. Yeah, we'll pick this conversation

666
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: up on the other side because that pick number three

667
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: is fascinating to me. I know it's got Steve intrigued

668
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: as well. We'll talk more about that seventeenth NFL regular

669
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: season game up for vote today and new name on

670

00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk about all of it, including what you miss

672
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: most about attending those home games. We're back in a

Speaker 1: attaching a new name to the stadium across the parking lot,

677
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: now known as high Mark Stadium, thanks to the partnership

678
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: between the Bills and high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue Shield

679

00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: some minor signings going on in the free agent market.

683
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: The Steelers. As we know James Conner still a free

684
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: agent for them. They just signed Klin Balage to a

685
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: one year deal. Miner's signing, but they don't have a

686
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: lot of money to spend so young veteran player I

687
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: guess played last year for the Chargers. This pick number

688
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: three with San Francisco is fascinating, So we have to

689
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: discuss plenty of that stuff along with what you miss

690
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: most about attending home games. Will break here, but begin

691

Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has

694
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

695
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role pleader for you. State of

696
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: a little Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

697
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: stratgyre of normalcy. Welcome Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

698
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: on a Chuesday. Plenty of NFL news and notes to

699
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: chew on both draft related, NFL schedule related, stadium naming

700
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: rights related. We've got it all covered for your free agency.

701
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: There's all this stuff floating around and we're trying to

702
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: nail it all down for you here on One Bills

703
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Live and with you until three PM, and Steve and

704
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: I were discussing the third overall pick, which now is

705
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: in the hands of the San Francisco forty nine ers

706
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: and GM John Lynch head coach Kyle Shanahan are in

707
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa today for the Alabama Pro Day. They were asked

708
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: about it in their press conference earlier this week, Hey,

709
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: why are you going to the Alabama Pro Day and

710
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: not the Ohio State Pro Day where Justin Fields is

711
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: working out? And I believe it was Kyle Shanahan who said, Well,

712
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: the decision was easy for us because we've learned that

713
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is going to throw again in April after

714
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: today's Pro Day. He will throw today, but he is

715
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: also going to throw a second time sometime in Aprils.

716
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: So that made the decision easy for Shanahan and Lynch.

717
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: Go to the Alabama Pro Day, watch Mac Jones, and

718
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: then at the later date go watch Justin Field. Now,

719
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: Steve and I have been going back and forth on this,

720
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: and I think we're in the same boat here. Number One,

721
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: you look at all that the forty nine ers gave

722
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: up to go from twelve to three, and you're convinced

723
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: they're taking a quarterback You're not doing all of that

724
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: and parting with three first round picks to move up

725
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: nine spots to draft a receiver. You're doing it to

726
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. That is plane is dead. This is

727
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: not about an edge rusher or an offensive lineman or

728
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: anybody else, or even a tight end. The bigger question

729
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: is what kind of quarterback do you make that kind

730
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: of a move for. I am of the opinion that

731
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: you go up there to get a person with elite

732
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: physical traits. Yes, they have to have it between the ears,

733
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: but they also have to have elite physical traits. That's

734
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: the only thing in my mind that precipitates this kind

735
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: of a move. Yeah, you're not going to go up

736
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: there for a guy who can just think can do

737
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: it right. You're going up there for a guy who

738
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: has some has got he's got to have some things

739
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: you're looking for in that spot. And if it's a

740
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback. Now on spending it positive. Maybe Kyle

741
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: Shanahan thinks enough of himself to say, I don't care

742
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: who it is, whether it's whether it's Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson,

743
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: Justin Fields or Mac Jones. I can win with any

744
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: one of those four guys, but I gotta get one

745
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: of them. So he's gonna go up to number three

746
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: to make sure even if the two guys are taking

747
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: ahead of him, to whichever two are taking ahead of him,

748
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: that he gets one of the two remaining. I don't

749
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: think anybody believes that because the guys there with If

750
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is off the board, which he's gonna be,

751
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: the three guys left, you know, everybody, you know, you

752
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: can they start to become a little bit more interchangeable. Now. Certainly,

753
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson has been great. I mean he's he threw

754
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: on his pro day and made a made a throw

755
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: that wiled a lot of people. I didn't see the

756
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: rest of his his workout, but he's had a nice

757
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: career high high completion percentage at the college level for

758
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: three years as a starter, great resume. Mac Jones coming

759
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: out of Alabama. The guy has been under some pressure

760
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: and in some big moments. Some people think more of

761
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: him than Tah that's right, because of his uh intellect.

762
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: The guy's a smartie. He's like he's like a Peyton

763
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: Manning kind of guy, and Peyton Manning with you know,

764
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: he's had an okay, a good arm, but an elite brain.

765
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: That's what people are looking at mac Jones and seeing.

766
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: Even Nick Saban, his college head coach, has said, I

767
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: think this guy's going to be successful at the next level.

768
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: He's a thinker and he's got enough physical traits to to,

769
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, make it worth it. But he is not elite. Basically,

770
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't run well and his arm is okay, just okay.

771
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: So then you get down to a guy like Trey

772
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: Lance out of North Dakota State. He's got all those

773
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: physical traits, but he played in North Dakota State and

774
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. You know, his actors, he

775
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: may not be as good he you know, he's not

776
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: the thinker type. He's more the athlete type. Justin Fields

777
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: played at a big school. And I'm not saying these

778
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: guys are anything alike or anything like that. All I'm

779
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: saying is you look down. You know there's been Cardale

780
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: Jones has come out of there, and then last year

781
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: the kid that went to Washington's Dwayne Haskins Alabama. I mean,

782
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: Ohio State has not churned out quality quarterbacks. The way

783
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: they run their offense, they don't and they don't expect

784
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: enough of those guys, or at least haven't had a

785
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: guy who they could expect enough out of, So you

786
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: don't know what you're getting. But Fields does look good

787
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: and he has shown I think more on tape than

788
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: those other two guys I mentioned coming out of all hostead.

789
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: This guy seems to be a notch above. So all

790
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: of this comes down to Kyle Shannon. I believe Kyle

791
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan and John Lynch in San Francisco and what they're

792
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: looking for. I'm just gonna say this. Kyle Shanahan the

793
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: other day at his press conference basically stated that if

794
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: you don't have one of the top five quarterbacks in

795
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: the league, you're behind you. You have a bigger hill

796
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: to climb to get to the ultimate game you just

797
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 1: do if you don't have one of the top five guys.

798
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: They just made a move from twelve to three. They

799
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: are going to draft the only quarterback they believe can

800
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: be a top five guy who's still on the board.

801
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: And you say, well, why did they go to three.

802
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: They went to three because he couldn't get Trevor Lawrence

803
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: is gonna go one to Jacksonville. They're not one hundred

804
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: percent sure who the Jets are gonna take it to

805
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: give us your little jets. So my suspicion, we'll get

806
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: to that. My suspicion is that the forty nine ers

807
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 1: believe there are two elite physical talents in this draft class,

808
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Trey Lance, and they know if they

809
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: get to pick three, Lawrence two, he can run. He

810
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: can run. I don't know if he runs, you know,

811
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he runs four four though, yeah, okay,

812
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, we're splitting hairs. But

813
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: in any event, go ahead. I think they believe the

814
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: two elite physical talents that they believe they have a

815
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: chance of getting at least one of at pick three

816
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: is Trey Lance or Justin Fields. Right, that's it. I

817
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: would agree with that. Mac Joe. They mac Jones has

818
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: been thrown out there because he's gotten a lot of

819
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: run because of his intellect and because of his size.

820
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: He's a big dude, but he cannot run and his

821
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: arm is not great. That does not yell at me

822
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: third pick in the draft, especially if you're got a

823
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: trade up. Two weeks ago, people were talking about him

824
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: being on the board at fifteen for New England. Now

825
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's the third pick, Like, come on,

826
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: I think people are trying to connect the dots to

827
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: previous quarterbacks that Kyle Shanahan has had, and they're saying, oh, well,

828
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of like Matt Ryan. He made

829
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan an MVP. Maybe he thinks he can do

830
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: the same thing with Mac Jones, you know, but he's

831
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: also had RG three, you know. So I don't think

832
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: you go from twelve to three unless you're looking to

833
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: take the most elite trade, the quarterback with the most

834
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: elite traits that you can get at pick three. And

835
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: if the board falls as many of us anticipate, even

836
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: if it goes Lauren Fields, San Francisco is happy they

837
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: can get Lance if it goes Lawrence Zach Wilson. Now

838
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: they have their pick between Lance and Fields. But I

839
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: think it's Lance or Fields. That's what I believe it

840
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: will be for San Francisco. That's there, that's the only

841
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: choice they're making at three. I agree, And the fact

842
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: that they're in Tuscaloosa today watching Mac Jones just a

843
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: due diligence. There's another there's another ten at least guys

844
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: that are gonna be playing pro football in the fall

845
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: that are at that pro day as well, So they're

846
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: looking at all those guys too, And I'm with you.

847
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: I think that's I think it's smoking mirrors. There's every

848
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: reason for them to keep it under their rap, under

849
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: wraps because of your because they may share your opinion.

850
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Jets are Jets, Zach Wilson. Okay,

851
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: maybe they may take justin Fields. They may take Trey

852
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 1: Lance Good or Mac Jones. Who knows, because as you said,

853
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: it's the Jets. It's the Jets. And they got Sam

854
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: Darnold already, who, by the way, is I believe I

855
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: heard that he's the exact same age as Zach Wilson,

856
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: or if not younger. Think about that. He's only twenty three.

857
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: He's not. He's just getting started telling you. I think

858
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: he could still be a good quarterback in this league.

859
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: He's just he's with the wrong franchise, a franchise that

860
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: has not developed players and made them. You know, we here,

861
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott here talk about all the time, how you

862
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: come here. You could be the best version of yourself

863
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: as a player, and probably to a certain degree as

864
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: a person too, and certainly as a teammate. Right, the

865
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: Jets do not develop talent. Their coaching staffs have been

866
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: unable to do that. I don't know that the front

867
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: office has made it a priority to have coaching staffs

868
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: that do that. I think it might finally be changing

869
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: now with the Sala staff. I think that's a good

870
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: staff that's been assembled there. I think they will help

871
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: develop players. So do they undertake the chore of breaking

872
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: down Sam Darnold? Who build him back up again into

873
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: what they believe he can be. I don't know, he's

874
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: still Yeah, that's the that's the giant. Yeah, he's been

875
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: in the league three years. I mean, you got to,

876
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: you gotta yeah. I'm I've always had a lot of

877
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: respect for Sam. I thought, you know, I know he's

878
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: in a rough spot there in New York and and uh,

879
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: but I think he is. Yeah. I just think he's

880
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: got a high ceiling still. Some team, I'm telling you,

881
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: some team is going to steal him out of New

882
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: York and he's going to have a good career. Maybe

883
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: it's San Francisco. No, I don't think so. I think

884
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: they've hitched their wagon to one of those two guys,

885
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned you don't do all of that work, and

886
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: then turn to Sam Donald, I don't think you do that. Yeah,

887
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: So it's intriguing, and I don't think it's done yet.

888
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some other teams jockey and

889
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: to get up there, and they may wait until draft

890
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: night to see who pick one, two, and three is,

891
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: and then Atlanta is gonna get a whole lot of

892
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: phone calls. Now, Atlanta probably wants to draft a quarterback

893
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: for the future. You play Matt Ryan this year, use

894
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: him as a bridge to your next what you hope

895
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: is your next franchise. Guy, how about Cincinnati at five.

896
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at five is in the catbird seat, my friend,

897
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: because they don't need a quarterback. They could have their

898
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 1: choice of drafting the best non quarterback in the entire

899
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: draft class, or slide back a little bit, maybe to eight.

900
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: Let Carolina get up to five, get a King's Ransom

901
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: and still get one of the top offensive tackles in

902
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: the league to protect Joe Burrow or two I mean

903
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: or two I mean Cincinnati. It's looking good for you. Yeah,

904
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the key thing what the Falcons are

905
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna do. And you know, thirty six year old Matt Ryan.

906
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: No problem drafting a kid to come in and watch

907
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: him for a year because he's a real He's a

908
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: proven pro starting quarterback, MVP of the league, taking his

909
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: team to the super Bowl. He knows how to prepare

910
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: to play well and to have a young guy like

911
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: one of these we're talking about, come in to learn

912
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: how to do it from him. It's perfect scenario if

913
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: you've got the patients to do it. So yeah, but

914
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: Carolina would just as easily jump up there and take

915
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: that spot from them and give them whatever that. I

916
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: know Carolina is quarterback hungry. They are shorted. In the

917
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: short time that Dave Tepper has owned the Panthers franchise,

918
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: he has already been definitively stamped as an aggressive owner.

919
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: I could see an aggressive move from Carolina if there

920
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: is one of those top five quarterbacks still in play,

921
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: which logic would say should be still in play at

922
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: pick five because there's five of them. But if someone

923
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: other than Mac Jones is still on the board at five,

924
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: I think Carolina gets aggressive and makes a deal to

925
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati that they can't refuse to get up there. I

926
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: think he might be right. It's I think because of

927
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: the atma, the climate of the league, and these quarterbacks

928
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: teams so willing to kick what we thought two years

929
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: ago was proven guys Jimmy g Jared Goff, Teddy Bridgewater,

930
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: all of these guys are just getting kicked to the

931
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: curb now. Andy Dalton's jumping ship, Mitch Drobiski kicked to

932
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: the curb. You know, there's it's all over. It's rampant,

933
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: all the moves that Denver Broncos have made. So I

934
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: think because of that atmosphere around the league and the premium,

935
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks are gonna get because of coaches belief

936
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: that they can develop him the way the Bills. You know.

937
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen's a part of all this. He is

938
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: He's the he is the stays in Trey Lance is

939
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: being talked about in the top five. That's exactly right.

940
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: Josh is us here in Buffalo know it. Josh was

941
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: not ready to play his first year, he wasn't supposed to,

942
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: but did. Second year, they they go to the playoffs

943
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: with him and he's better. And then this last year

944
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: he's an MVP candidate. He's the gold standard for what

945
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: a team can do for a quarterback. Forget about what

946
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback can do for your team. This is the

947
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: team doing something for him. So you've got guys like

948
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: David Tepper and Carolina and Matt Rule and all these

949
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: own quarterback and the guys in Cincinnati, the guys in

950
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: San Diego or La Chargers with Justin Herbert, all these

951
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: owners are going, hey, where's my guy? Me too, where's

952
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: my guy? Get our guy like that, give him the ball. Well,

953
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: think about the San Francisco ownership. John Lynch went to

954
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: them and said, hey, we need a top five quarterback

955
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: if we're gonna win anything. You know, we want to

956
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: do this. What do you think Get it done right?

957
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Is basically what Jed York and company told them, and

958
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: that you got our approval, r go make it happen right.

959
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: So they trade away two ones and at three and

960
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: their pick at twelve right and flip flop the pick

961
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: this year to get up to this spot because that's

962
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: how important that guy is. And there's just you just

963
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: I just have seen it too much. These coaches are

964
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: all sitting around the league and they're going they're looking

965
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: at what Brian day Ball and McDermott and this team

966
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: have done. With Josh, and I just know they're looking

967
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: at a guy like Trey Lance, going we could have

968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: that too. I'll bet you we could do that. Yeah,

969
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, and they're sitting there saying why not us,

970
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: and justin Fields same thing. They're going, up, if our guys,

971
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: if we could find a guy like that is the

972
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: right guy, we're gonna do that. We're gonna we're gonna

973
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: have a guy like that, because I'm telling you what

974
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: other teams and even back in the day before this

975
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: last year, when Josh Allen was a punchline and people

976
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: were laughing at him and they were just dogging Bills

977
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: fans right and left about their quarterback being sugar high Josh,

978
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: other coaches around the league are going, I'm telling you what, though,

979
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: when we line up for those guys, he's a problem.

980
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: That guy's a problem for us. Even when he was

981
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: sugar hi Josh as a rookie running all over the play,

982
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: that guy is a problem. So they're all thinking, even

983
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: if he comes in and comes in at like two

984
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: thirds words of what Josh did this last year, that's

985
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know. So I'm thinking we're sitting here

986
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: trying to get inside Kyle Shanahan's mind. He ain't taking

987
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: mac Jones. He's not taking a guy with a medium

988
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: arm and zero athleticism. He's getting a guy like like

989
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: that guy in Buffalo, you know that guy that you know.

990
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: I want him. I want a guy like that who's

991
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: out there. And there's two yeah in play right now,

992
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: the way it looks right now, at least two fields

993
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: and lands. That's right until the Jets. Until the Jets

994
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: take they take the Heisman Trophy winner instead of a

995
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: quarterback that would be God. And then the right I

996
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: can't know they take the five I can't five nine,

997
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five pound Heisman trov no. Interestingly enough,

998
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: are reports now from the Alabama Pro Day that DeVante

999
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Smith may actually run routes today. He's been dealing with

1000
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: a finger injury hurt in the championship game that he

1001
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: yes that he hurt in the National Title game. Hasn't

1002
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: done much in terms of catching passes since then, but

1003
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: word has leaked that he's been catching passes from Mac

1004
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Jones the last couple of weeks here and there, and

1005
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: that he may actually run some routes today for NFL scouts, gms,

1006
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and coaches who are in attendance. There's a picture out

1007
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: now by Michael casa Grande. Four guys standing around drinking

1008
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: coffee at the Alabama Pro Day. Kyle Shanahan and John

1009
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Lynch GM, head coach of the San Francisco forty nine ers,

1010
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: are having coffee with Josh McDaniel and Bill Belichick. That's

1011
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: like a Mount Rushmore. I wonder if Bill Belichick is

1012
01:03:52,840 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: mentioning twenty eight Jimmy g Right to Kyle Shanahan was

1013
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: the OCA. I think they're probably talking about Jimmy g

1014
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: how the Patriots traded him to those guys and they

1015
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: went to a Super Bowl with him and didn't win

1016
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: before he stunk. Yeah, the other narrative that's come out

1017
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: in the last day or so regarding San Francisco and

1018
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: their third pick, and you know, Shanahan and Lynch basically saying, no,

1019
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: we want Jimmy Garoppolo here. He's our quarterback this year.

1020
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: People are saying, oh, well, you know, they want to

1021
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: kind of do what they did in Kansas City with

1022
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Patrick mahomes bridge quarterback. This, that and

1023
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: the other. And there are others who write a different narrative.

1024
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: They are indicating that the issue they have with Garoppolo

1025
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: is not his ability as a quarterback, but his lack

1026
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: of availability. He's had a tough time staying healthy each

1027
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: of the last two years. He's fragile, and that can

1028
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 1: raise a red flag as much as anything, especially at

1029
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: that position. I mean, you need that guy on the field.

1030
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, the Niners had a lot of injuries

1031
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: at a lot of other places, chiefly their defensive line,

1032
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: which was you could make whatever argument you want it's

1033
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the strength of their football team. And they were all

1034
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: first round draft choices. But Bosa goes down, Solomon Thomas

1035
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: goes down, they lose one of their starting linebackers for

1036
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: a time, and then Garoppolo goes down too, and you

1037
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: look at what transpired there, and their offense went in

1038
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the toilet when Nick Mullins had to come on and

1039
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,439
Speaker 1: be their quarterback. Yeah, it's it's like we've been talking about.

1040
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: It's hard why they couldn't keep up with the Bills.

1041
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to find a guy to take snaps

1042
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: for you. You can't find two in case one goes down.

1043
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: You got to make some adjustments, right. Your Bills might

1044
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: have that now, right, But that's the idea, right and

1045
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: if you got one, how are you gonna get two.

1046
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: It's just you have to fall into your lap and

1047
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: you got I have that guy out there. That's why

1048
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: they protect those guys. That's why all the rule changes

1049
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: have happened. And when you when you drive by and

1050
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, breathe on the guy's head, it's a penalty.

1051
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: They want those guys on the field. All the head

1052
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: coaches do, all the offensive coordinators do so, and certainly

1053
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: the TV people do. You don't really want, you know,

1054
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: ce J Beethard in the game against Aaron Rodgers in

1055
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: a playoff game. So you know, that's that's why they

1056
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: need those And that's why when you get a guy

1057
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: that can't stay on the field, I think Kyle Shannon,

1058
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: they're thinking, you know, let's get somebody we can at

1059
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: least no one's gonna line up for us. There's a

1060
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: little bit of that in there, no question, no question.

1061
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, and you were saying how the Bills

1062
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: or any team in the league wants to keep their

1063
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: starter on the field. We know that, and we also

1064
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: know it's hard for them to find a capable backup

1065
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: of similar ability for good reason because those people that

1066
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: have similar ability are probably starting somewhere else. But the

1067
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Bills were able to sign Mitchell Trubisky to a one

1068
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: year contract as a free agent here in Buffalo, and

1069
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: I was interested Steve in trying to investigate why Chicago

1070
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: soured on him so quickly. And we know that there

1071
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: was a dip in his play in twenty nineteen, where

1072
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: he went eight and seven as a starter. That year,

1073
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the Bears missed the playoffs after having a very successful

1074
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: season the year before that was only derailed by a

1075
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: double doink with Cody Parkey as their kicker. And I

1076
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: was listening to Trubisky on a podcast, the Mark Sanchez

1077
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: Fourth and Forever podcast. Sanchez is pretty tight with Trubisky

1078
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: because Sanchez was supposed to be the backup quarterback too,

1079
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: was it nick Foles? Now? I think he was supposed

1080
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: to be the backup to Nick Foles, and then they

1081
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: drafted Trubisky. I think that's how it went. And so

1082
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Sanchez very quickly became the third string quarterback and then

1083
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: wasn't there soon thereafter. So despite the unfortunate situation that

1084
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: befell Sanchez with respect to his career, he and Trubisky,

1085
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, got tight and got to know each other

1086
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: in any event. He's on the podcast and he's talking

1087
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: about his twenty nineteen season and he played through a

1088
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: partially torn labrom in his throwing shoulder, Steve and yet

1089
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:52,560
Speaker 1: still completed sixty three percent of his passes, seventeen touchdowns,

1090
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: ten picks, and had a quarterback rating. Well, I should

1091
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: say his QBR, not passer rating. His QBR, which only

1092
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: goes up to one hundred, was a disappointing forty one

1093
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: point five. His passer rating was an eighty three, and

1094
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: everybody soured him. Can't win with this guy. He's regressing.

1095
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong? Nobody knew he had a

1096
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: partially torn labor that he played with last year. He's

1097
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: healthy again, starts nine games, complete sixty seven percent of

1098
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: his passes, sixteen touchdowns, eight picks, two to one ratio there.

1099
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: His passer rating is a ninety three five and his

1100
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: QBR is a sixty one three, only gets sacked eighteen times.

1101
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, yards per attempt I think was right around seven.

1102
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I think this guy got a

1103
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: raw deal in Chicago. I'm not saying he's the second

1104
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: coming but I think he's better than he gets credit for.

1105
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, it's interesting. I got a lot

1106
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: of and I don't know Mitch. So they throw in

1107
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: the football with a partially torn labor, right, I don't. Yeah,

1108
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: that's not easy. I'm saying this. I'm surprised, and maybe

1109
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: there are forces that are in Chicago that and every

1110
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: team is different, believe me, the relationship between the head

1111
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: coach and the general manager and the offensive coordinator, the

1112
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: general manager and the ownership and the general manager and

1113
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: the president and blah blah blah, every every dynamic, every

1114
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: team is different in the way things are happening, and

1115
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: head coaches and coordinators feel pressures differently. You gotta, I'd

1116
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: really like to know the dynamics or the conversation the

1117
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Jim Nagy had when you pull the plug on Matt Naggi,

1118
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: when that when Matt Naggi has what that conversation went

1119
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: with whoever it was either made them made the assertion

1120
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: that he should bench Traubisky, or the conversation that he

1121
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: had with his coordinate on who should bench whether he

1122
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: should bench Trubisky and who was for it, who was

1123
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: against it? Like particularly with a you know with a

1124
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 1: torn labram or whatever two years ago. Um, I'm interested

1125
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: in why hit because I got a lot of faith

1126
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: in those guys. Well, it might have been just a

1127
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: matter of hey, look you're not one hundred percent healthy.

1128
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: Why don't you sit down. We'll see if you can

1129
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: get healthy, see if the shoulder you can get back.

1130
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: It could be as simple as that. But nobody knew

1131
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: about it because he was playing through it. But then

1132
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 1: why are they getting why are they down on him? Right? Well, yeah,

1133
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: that's where did it go south? That's what does Because

1134
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Matt Nage, if he says they're gonna

1135
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: don't know, this is our guy. Believe me, he had

1136
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the bad shoulder. He looked. Where did the support for

1137
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: him in the building go? If they knew he had

1138
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: a torn labram on his throwing shoulder and the GM

1139
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: trade it up for him, Ryan Pace trade it up

1140
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: for that guy. And maybe maybe Matt Nage never liked him,

1141
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Maybe he was always like, ah,

1142
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, he could never win him over. I don't know,

1143
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, but the guy went TWI right, where does it?

1144
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 1: And and we've all seen it a million times. A

1145
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: player like Jimmy G and San Francisco we're talking about.

1146
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks he's done over there. They're done with him

1147
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: because of his availability because you know, can't stay healthy,

1148
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: right whatever, How what are the factors there? And because

1149
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I know this too, there are some teams, not every team,

1150
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: not all the time, not this team all the time,

1151
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: but some teams. Occasionally the guy that owns the joint

1152
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: picks up the phone and says, make a change, and nope,

1153
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: And everybody picked up the phone and called Ryan Pace

1154
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and said make a change. Who I don't know, but

1155
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: believe me, when that phone call happens, it don't matter

1156
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: what you think, everything stops. It doesn't. It doesn't matter

1157
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: what good everything starts in motion, right, It does matter

1158
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: the logic or the illogic of the move. It's gonna happen,

1159
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: and that happens. Don't don't think it doesn't. It does.

1160
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I want to hear the dynamics that

1161
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,719
Speaker 1: how does that happen? Because we heard after the fact,

1162
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: and people said, oh there, because we all all we

1163
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,719
Speaker 1: hear Bears fans with a boss. He's a boss, he's horrible,

1164
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: but mister Bisky's killing us. We gotta get get Nick Foles.

1165
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: He'll win it for it. That's gonna be awesome. Oh

1166
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: he's what, he's the guy. He's the guy. Well you

1167
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: know that, that's all we heard. So when we when

1168
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: we signed the guy, that same guy, everybody's like, I

1169
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: don't know. And then you find out like eight other

1170
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 1: teams are trying to bid for him because of he's

1171
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: got a winning record with the Chicago Bears and he's

1172
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: actually he played through a laboram injury and so he's

1173
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: got all this stuff going for him, and it's like, oh, wow,

1174
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: he's he's actually wow, I see you know, Okay, cool,

1175
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: we got him. Now. You and I are like high

1176
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: on this guy, and we're like on how to go

1177
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: wrong in Chicago. But all the Bears fans are on

1178
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: board with that. They're like, get get that guy out

1179
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: of town. We're done with him. How does that happen?

1180
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Because here's Mitch Drubisky and I know

1181
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: this for a fact without even talking to him or anything.

1182
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: I know how it goes. He's busting a gut to

1183
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: try and play well. Well, I mean, all you have

1184
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: to do is look at Nick Foles in the lineup,

1185
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: and Mitch Drubisky in the lineup to tell you all

1186
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: you need to know about the Bears organization. Okay, So

1187
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Nick Foles started seven games when two and five, completed

1188
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: sixty four point seven percent of his passes, ten touchdowns,

1189
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: eight picks, average five point nine yards an attempt pass

1190
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: a rating of eighty point eight, QBR of forty three

1191
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: point three. Now I already mentioned Trubisky stats last year.

1192
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: I'll run him again. Nine games started, six and three,

1193
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: record sixty seven percent completion, sixteen touchdowns, eight picks, had

1194
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: a yards per attempt of seven and then had a

1195
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: rating and ninety three five. They ran Trubisky out of town?

1196
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: What do they do? And they have Andy Dalton as

1197
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: their starter. Now, can somebody help me here? I mean,

1198
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Being acquiring him, even if it's just

1199
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: for this year, which it sounds like will be. You

1200
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: know what the bargaining chip was there. We have to

1201
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 1: take a break, but we're gonna talk about this. I

1202
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: want to see if Steve sees it the way I

1203
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: see it as to the major bargaining chip that Brandon

1204
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Bean presented to Mitchell Trubisky to convince him to sign. Here,

1205
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: we'll discuss that when we return here on One Bill's Live,

1206
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1207
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker.

1208
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: We're talking Mitchell Trubisky a little bit here today because

1209
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: we in the WES Well, well yeah, but that's okay,

1210
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: that's healthy. Come on, we're an organic show, Steve. We're

1211
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: not married to the script here. We go off topic

1212
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, getting our rough edge today. Is that

1213
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: what we're doing? Um, we were talking about quarterbacks. We started,

1214
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, at the top of the draft board, with

1215
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: what San Francisco has done. Who they're looking that we

1216
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: believe is worthy of a move like that, given up

1217
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: two first rounders in their pick at twelve along with

1218
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: the three, etc. Etc. And then we kind of branched

1219
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: off into other quarterback conversations, the most recent of which

1220
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: is Mitchell Trubisky. And I wanted to run this theory

1221
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: by Steve because I think there are people out there

1222
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: that say, well, if Mitchell Trubisky is so good, why

1223
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: didn't some other NFL team sign him to compete to

1224
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: be their starter when he's clearly a backup? Here, I

1225
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 1: would argue number one. There are gonna be five quarterbacks

1226
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: taken in the first round of the draft. They're not

1227
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: going to look at somebody else's equivalent of table scraps,

1228
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: as those teams probably see it. So you have the

1229
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Bills Astute Lee coming to Mitchell Trubisky and saying, hey, look,

1230
01:16:53,920 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: come here, be a backup this year, reset your your career,

1231
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: and then go back into free agency next year. Quarterback

1232
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: class next year is in as strong. You'll be in demand.

1233
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,839
Speaker 1: You'll be playing on a winning team in a winning environment.

1234
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: And I think this is the one that got it done.

1235
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: You will redevelop your game right under the guidance of

1236
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, who has done this with Josh Allen, turned

1237
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: him into an MVP candidate. He can help you too.

1238
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: How are you not convinced if you're Mitchell Trubisky, That's

1239
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: exactly what they did. They said, come in here, reset

1240
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,839
Speaker 1: your career in a view of the world so everybody

1241
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: looks at you in a different like. But also fix

1242
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: your mechanics. Hone your game, learn a new offense, get

1243
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: a deeper knowledge of more offensive philosophies in the NFL,

1244
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: get another get that under your belt, work behind Josh

1245
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: get exposed. The team will get exposed on national TV.

1246
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna go deep or theoretically, and you can work

1247
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: on yourself and your game and get ready for your

1248
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: next opportunity, which is coming up in January February of

1249
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: next year. I think it's I think it's a great

1250
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: selling point, I think, And that's what Brandon had said

1251
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: that they kind of sold him on, come here and

1252
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 1: be a best version of yourself. Our guys will help you.

1253
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: We're here for you to get better. We'll be walking

1254
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: out of the door here next year at this time

1255
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: a better quarterback than you're walking in. And it'd be

1256
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: hard to argue that in light of what Josh Allen

1257
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: has become and been transformed into here, it'd be hard

1258
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: to find an argument against that. And that's and to

1259
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: his credit, he said, you know what's a good idea,

1260
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: the Caps restricted just give me a place to play

1261
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: and this year. And not that this would be a

1262
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: lucky scenario for the Bills, but if Trubisky is fortunate

1263
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: enough to get on the field for a couple of games,

1264
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: there you go performs admirably. The value goes up, value

1265
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 1: goes up, So there are very few instances in this

1266
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: scenario where his value goes down. The only place where

1267
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: his value goes down is if he goes out on

1268
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: the field and completely stinks the joint out, and there's

1269
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: no indication from his play last year that that will happen.

1270
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I'll be on a better team this year than he

1271
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: was last year. The guy was eight games over five

1272
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: hundred on the Chicago Bears steven nine and twenty one.

1273
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: I know that at the Bear and you know how

1274
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: I feel about the Bears and the Lions. Yes, the

1275
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: only difference between those two organizations is the zip code.

1276
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: They are perpetually mediocre, and believe me, we know what

1277
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: that looks like, right. Yes, the drought taught all of

1278
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 1: us in Buffalo what it's like just to be there

1279
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: a long time. The Bills middled it. They middled it, yeah,

1280
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,560
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what the Bears and Packers have

1281
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: done for you know what, hundred years now. And they

1282
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 1: every so often they catch fire, like the eighty five

1283
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: Bears and then the two thousand five Bears. Was it

1284
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl forty two? Rex Grossman, the Rex Grossman year,

1285
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: and then two years ago when I went twelve and

1286
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: four we're out in the we're out in the first

1287
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: round double dooing game. I mean, that's that's the three

1288
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: times in decades, five four decades that they did anything.

1289
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: And the thing you can do as the backup quarterback

1290
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: more than anything is work on you. It can be

1291
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: a year for you. You don't have to worry about

1292
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: leading the team, saying the right things, setting the right example.

1293
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: You still do that as a backup quarterback. You still

1294
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 1: help the starter, but in terms of the eyeballs on you,

1295
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta worry about making yourself better on that position. Yeah,

1296
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: you're you're not doing You're not doing production meetings, you're

1297
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: not doing zoom meetings. You're not doing you know, media calls.

1298
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: You're not after every practice talking to the media. You're

1299
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: walking off and going home. You're working out and going home.

1300
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: You know, you're watching film. You're doing what you know,

1301
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 1: you're going with them. After the starter finishes his stuff,

1302
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: your workout's already done. You can go watch film with him.

1303
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: You know that kind of stuff. There's none of the

1304
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: ancilliary responsibilities at the face of the franchise has, which

1305
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: are more than a lot of people would give it

1306
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: credit for. So it's perfect for him. And we're sitting

1307
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: here and in a time of year, this time of

1308
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: year when everybody's going over all these guys who are

1309
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: coming out in the draft. They go over their credentials

1310
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: and their game film with a fine tooth comb, and

1311
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: they talk to high school teachers and high school coaches

1312
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 1: and college coaches, college teammates. You know, they talk to

1313
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: everybody they can talk to about this got these guys

1314
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: to find out about them, and you know, we kind

1315
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: of do the same thing with guys that are in

1316
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: this year, with all these guys that are on the

1317
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: free agent market, it's the same thing. If you have

1318
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: more information, you kind of feel like you get to

1319
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: know him, and they now they know something about the

1320
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: NFL that these other kids don't coming out in this draft.

1321
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: It's a different conversation and you feel like you can

1322
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: talk to him more. As It's like when you go

1323
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: to go to college for the first time as a freshman.

1324
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 1: How different are you when you come back for Thanksgiving

1325
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: break that first year. It's like night and day because

1326
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: you have tasted freedom. Right, It's the same kind of

1327
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: thing when you've got a player who's played in the

1328
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: lad up, when You've got a guy who's played in

1329
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: the league for a year or two or five or

1330
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 1: whatever as opposed to a kid who has not, and

1331
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: the conversation is totally different. It's just it's it's really

1332
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: a completely different thing. But they all they all of

1333
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: them are subject to the same scrutiny about their credential.

1334
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: And we're you and I are sitting here going over

1335
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: Mitch Rubisky's credentials, are going I don't get it. How

1336
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: is this guy not even more desirable than any of

1337
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: the five guys they're taken out? What because he's two

1338
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: three years older? Yeah, think about that. He's proven more

1339
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: positive than the guy the Bears replaced him with at

1340
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: this point, that guy Andy Dwn's thirty some odd years old.

1341
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: He's thirty two years old and has never won a

1342
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:34,759
Speaker 1: playoff game. That's the Bears update from Pro day Circuit today.

1343
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Justin fields six three two twenty five just clocked a

1344
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 1: four four four forty times. I told you he was

1345
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: going to be in the four fours six three two

1346
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty five and he runs four four four at quarterback.

1347
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: That's stupid. Where are we going with these athletes? More

1348
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: going nowhere? But there forty times are going down. Their

1349
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: weight and height are going up. Stay four four four

1350
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, that guy's running an RPO or a

1351
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: read option. Good lord man, how fast is your linebacker

1352
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: have to be to at least get the corner on

1353
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: him and force him back inside where you got help.

1354
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Yeah, that is a major problem. They

1355
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: say that coming. And here's the thing about Justin Fields.

1356
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: That is a big question. Mark foreman. I'm reading from

1357
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 1: from Pro Football Network. It's Tony Pauline. The main concern

1358
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields was that when people watch him on film,

1359
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: and we've all seen quarterbacks do this. Who are people

1360
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: who watch a lot of football? The guy drops back, looks, looks,

1361
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: looks at the same target all the time, and it

1362
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: throws right where he's looking. He never looks away. Josh

1363
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: Allen learned to do that. We saw Josh learn how

1364
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: to look left, look left, come back, throw right, look right,

1365
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: look right, come back, throw left, look look short, and

1366
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: then go deep. That kind of thing. And that's been

1367
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: an issue for Justin Fields. That's what they're looking at

1368
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: for him. So his athleticism, his arm strength, the programming

1369
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: comes out of here. Playing it against top quality opponents.

1370
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: That's that's the wart on his resume coming out, and

1371
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: they broke it down and here they've got it down

1372
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: as seven times out of two hundred plus passes, only

1373
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: seven times he looked off the primary target. Yeah, he's

1374
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: got some things to work. I don't think there's any

1375
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: question about that. And at Ohio State they run a

1376
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: vertical route tree for obvious reasons. They got a bunch

1377
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: of speed demons at wide receivering, got a quarterback, We're

1378
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna run a vertical route tree because these guys can

1379
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: get behind you and this kid can throw it a mile.

1380
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: So you know that. That's why he had to wait

1381
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: for his primary read to show. The guy had to

1382
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: win the route first before he's gonna throw to him.

1383
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 1: Those routes take longer to develop. The other criticism I've

1384
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: seen is that he's too reliant on his physical skills

1385
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: and as a result doesn't stick to the script as

1386
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: much or rely on the scheme. He relies on himself

1387
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: because he has high end physical traits. And there are

1388
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 1: some that have said his release is a long one.

1389
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: He's got an elongated release. I saw Matt Bowen wrote

1390
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 1: that about him in his scatter report on Justin Fields.

1391
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where it's at with him. Those those

1392
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: are things that guys can learn on the job. As

1393
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, Josh Allen, there's some question too, is that

1394
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, did Ohio State actually ask him to do

1395
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: any of that? Yeah, that's the thing that did they

1396
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: really expect Did they teach him and just put him

1397
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: through reps on a practice field that would say okay,

1398
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: look here and then if it's not if you see this,

1399
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: go there not here? Did they ask him to do that?

1400
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: Did they have to ask him to do that? Because

1401
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: you know, when when Ohio State is playing you know,

1402
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 1: you name it nowhere State, they don't have to look away, right,

1403
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: So how much of that was going on? And there's

1404
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: some questions to how much how State expected him do?

1405
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: What was he asked to do in that offense? If

1406
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: he was never asked to do some of the things

1407
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 1: you're looking for him to do, you're never gonna see it.

1408
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: So they got to get through all of that stuff.

1409
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: And this guy, Justin Fields, as you said, sub four

1410
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: five forty huge arm an athlete s twenty five. Yeah,

1411
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: so you've got some pro coachers are going in light

1412
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: of what has happened with Josh Allen. They're going, I'd

1413
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 1: like to take a shot at that guy. Yeah, pretty

1414
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 1: high in the draft, right, we'll see. Yeah, break time

1415
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: for us when we come back. More quarterback discussion. We'll

1416
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: also talk seventeenth regular season game and what you missed

1417
01:27:56,320 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: most about not being in the high Mark State. Yeah,

1418
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: it's it'll have a new name by the time you're

1419
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 1: back in there. But what do you miss most about

1420
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: those home games? Let us know. We'll get to your

1421
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: comments on the tweet sheet. Here on One Bills Live,

1422
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: presented by collid to Health, it's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

1423
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

1424
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: you and discussing quarterbacks, both ones on Buffalo's roster in

1425
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: the draft pool pro days today. We're chewing this quarterback

1426
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 1: thing up like a dog with a bone. I mean,

1427
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: there's so many, it's so tasty, it is I can't

1428
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 1: I can't get enough. We got off on this because

1429
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,879
Speaker 1: this pro day in Alabama, Ohio State and the changes

1430
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: that happened at the top of the draft board last

1431
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: week with the Miami Dolphins trading the San Francisco forty

1432
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: nine ers from three to twelve and versa, the Niners

1433
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: going from twelve to three and then the Dolphins trading

1434
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: back into the top or was it nine to three? Yeah,

1435
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: and then the Dolphins trading back into the number six spot.

1436
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: I think yes. With Philadelphia, it's it's brought up an

1437
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:23,560
Speaker 1: intriguing scenario because the found the Niners have got a

1438
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,799
Speaker 1: guy that we all thought was pretty good, but he's fragile,

1439
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: he gets nicked up a lot, and Jimmy Garoppolo and

1440
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: they're down on him. And what they traded up the

1441
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 1: number to get to number three was an enormous amount

1442
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 1: of capital in the draft that you wouldn't do for

1443
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: somebody who's not playing quarterback. Well, who's it gonna be? Yeah,

1444
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: because once you get out of Jacksonville and New York Jets,

1445
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of iffy. And and because it's the Jets. Humorously,

1446
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: Brownie contends that, you know, the Jets may pick Elmer

1447
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:06,799
Speaker 1: fun given their history, Johnny Lamb, Jones, Kyle Brady, Roger

1448
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: vic stop. So they So the Niners get to number three,

1449
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 1: we think they're gonna take your quarterback. But once you

1450
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: get pass the you know, and there's only like four guys,

1451
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 1: maybe five guys who are even in that conversation. And

1452
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: people have been saying that the guy that's niners think

1453
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: everybody thinks you're gonna pick he doesn't make sense physically

1454
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 1: right for a current top quarterback draft pick. He just does.

1455
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: Not that can extend plays. Not a guy who can

1456
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: make plays off script. His biggest attribute, or so we've heard,

1457
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: is his mind at quarterback. His arm is okay, he's big, okay,

1458
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 1: and he can't run. You put him on the field

1459
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 1: with two wide receivers who are gonna go in the

1460
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: top fifteen twenty picks in the draft. Yeah, and you

1461
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: give him a running back who's also gonna go for

1462
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: first round and a bunch of offensive linemen who were

1463
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna go on the first fifty picks. He should look

1464
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. He should look good, right, and his suppose

1465
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: you can make the same argument about Fields. He's playing

1466
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 1: with elite talent on his side of the ball. I

1467
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: get it, right, But but Fields has physical traits. He's

1468
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: got a big arm, he's a big dude, he's a

1469
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: fast dude. And he made some throws too. I mean

1470
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: the guy Fields played good. They both did, I mean

1471
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 1: for really good teams. I'm just saying, when you get

1472
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 1: up at the time, you've said, we set it a ton,

1473
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:56,680
Speaker 1: we set it a ton. Talking about Josh Allen two

1474
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: a tongue Yloa, Sam Darnold, Baker, Mayfield, those guys, huh,

1475
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Lamar Jackson, all of these guys, Joe Burrows,

1476
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 1: all of these guys have some physical traits that they

1477
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: check off. And the ones that didn't have those elite

1478
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: physical traits they've struggled at time, at least at times.

1479
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. Yeah, even you know, even Baker a little bit. Yeah. Right,

1480
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,520
Speaker 1: So now Baker's got leadership skills, he got a personality,

1481
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 1: he's all that. But you know, he's a good accuracy

1482
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 1: six foot guy, but he makes quick throws, got a

1483
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: live arm. He's a little like a Drew Brees type

1484
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: of guy with you know, with a different personality. Um,

1485
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: he's he seems to be getting it done in Cleveland

1486
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 1: with a really good roster around him. And let's face it,

1487
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: a really good roster helped our guy too, Josh Um,

1488
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, he has some physical traits, but man, oh man,

1489
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 1: he's you know, he does not have a good roster

1490
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: around him, so is already on his third head coach.

1491
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, so there you and I'm so we're going

1492
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: we're chewing this up every which way we can and

1493
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: trying to get to the top of this draft. And

1494
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm you know, on the one hand, it's like, I'm

1495
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: glad it's other teams that are doing this because we

1496
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: got our guy finally. And speaking of that, that will

1497
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 1: be the next segment of the show, which we will

1498
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: take a break here. But our good friend Mike Janitty

1499
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 1: from spotrack dot com just put together a projected contract

1500
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: extension for Josh Allen. We know it's only a matter

1501
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 1: of when, not if, who should the numbers for Josh

1502
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Allen work off of to get a fair contract for him.

1503
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: We discussed that when we return here on One Bills Live,

1504
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:42,759
Speaker 1: during massage massage sessions. A twentieth woman is not sued

1517
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: Watson yet for now. She has told her story to

1518
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,760
Speaker 1: Jenny Frentis of si dot com. The woman said that

1519
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: she provided a massage to Watson in twenty nineteen. According

1520
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 1: to her, Watson's conduct during their two and a half

1521
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 1: hour session was unlike anything she's experienced from any other

1522
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 1: client has treated. That's a direct quote. Texans GM Nick

1523
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 1: Casserio has weighed in for the first time on the

1524
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: allegations against the QB. He said on a Texans podcast

1525
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 1: that the Texans are following the situation and taking it seriously.

1526
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers made the blockbuster trade with

1527
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to move up to number three in the

1528
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: draft late last week, and that can only mean that

1529
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: GM John Lynch is ready to draft a replacement for

1530
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:28,759
Speaker 1: incumbent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but yesterday Lynch said that Garoppolo

1531
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: remains a part of their plans for the team. He

1532
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 1: added that Garoppolo welcomes competition and that they don't want

1533
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 1: to see him go forty nine. Ers head coach Kyle

1534
01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan echoed that sentiment. He told the media that the

1535
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: team still plans to have Garoppolo as their starting quarterback

1536
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Naji Harris out to prove he's

1537
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 1: worthy of being a first round pick. The Alabama running

1538
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: back working out for scouts in drill work only at

1539
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,719
Speaker 1: the university second Pro day today. He won't run the forty, however,

1540
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 1: as he's been training through an ankle injury suffered late

1541
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 1: in the season that hasn't a four at him. Time

1542
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 1: to heal and the Flyers overcame a three goal third

1543
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: period deficit to beat the Sabers four three in overtime

1544
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 1: Monday night. Same two teams again on Wednesday. Face off

1545
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,920
Speaker 1: is at seven thirty. That is your sports update from

1546
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 1: one Bill's Drive Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. It is our

1547
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: number two and a half three. Where are we? We

1548
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: were on an hour early today to bring you the

1549
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 1: press conference announcing the new naming rights to the stadium

1550
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 1: across the parking lot from us here at one Bill's Drive,

1551
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: now called high Marks Stadium. As our MSG viewers can

1552
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 1: see behind me the new logo that will be adorning

1553
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,879
Speaker 1: the sign on the back of the scoreboard in the stadium.

1554
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, great news, good partnership there. Sports Business Journal

1555
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: reporting it to be a ten year agreement, so a

1556
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 1: long term commitment there by high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue

1557
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: Shield of Western New York. Steve and I have been

1558
01:36:56,360 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: talking quarterbacks up and down the list, not only in

1559
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: the draft, but on Buffalo's roster and the former Mitchell Trubisky,

1560
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: and now we are going to discuss one Josh Allen.

1561
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 1: Mike Janety, our good friend from spottrack dot com, been

1562
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 1: a guest on the show many times, put together a

1563
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: projected contract extension for Josh Allen, and I think he

1564
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: is dead on the money with this, no pun intended,

1565
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 1: and he believes that this contract should fall in line

1566
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: in terms of comps that already exist in the league

1567
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 1: with the contract signed by Deshaun Watson just over a

1568
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: year ago, a four year, one hundred and fifty six

1569
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: million dollar extension that had seventy three million guaranteed and

1570
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten million guaranteed over the course of

1571
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 1: the four years. Seventy three, it's signing one hundred and

1572
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 1: ten total, so obviously the money would be more. But

1573
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: basically the Bills are probably looking at a contract extension

1574
01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 1: that will average forty two million dollars a season. Yeah,

1575
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 1: that seems okay. Yeah, I think the only thing I

1576
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 1: get four year, one hundred and sixty sixty eight million about. Um.

1577
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:21,799
Speaker 1: I think the trend for these guys is a longer

1578
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: term deal. Um. Pat Mahomes signing a ten year deal

1579
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of changed the paradigm. Most guys are signing four

1580
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: year deals because they want another kick at the can. Uh.

1581
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes did not, and in fact, Mahomes signed a deal

1582
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,479
Speaker 1: that is very team friendly for the Chiefs. He doesn't

1583
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: get any real significant bulk payment until twenty twenty seven. Um,

1584
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: that's a long way off, and that's it's well into

1585
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: the new television deal. It's well into the bounce back

1586
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: of the downcap year we're experiencing right now. Uh, it's

1587
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't even start to take effect until after the

1588
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: fifth year of his rookie deal. All of that stuff

1589
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 1: makes it a really team friendly deal. And I think

1590
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 1: given the relationship as good as it seems between Josh

1591
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,759
Speaker 1: Allen and this this club, they will probably work together

1592
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: to fashion a deal that is great for job. I mean,

1593
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,559
Speaker 1: any of this, this deal is gonna, you know, put

1594
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:25,640
Speaker 1: Josh off the map financially. How can they structure it

1595
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,800
Speaker 1: so that Josh, while he's off the map financially, the

1596
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: team doesn't have to go off the map financially and

1597
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 1: can build and give him more guys like Steph Diggs

1598
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: and John Feliciano and Matt Milano around him, right, Cole Beasley,

1599
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: that's the idea. So, um, it'll be interesting for me

1600
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 1: to see the structure, I think myself. I think I'll

1601
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 1: be really surprised if this is just a kind of

1602
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 1: straightforward deal four year such and such, a you know

1603
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: what I mean, like the deal with like Deshaun Watson deal.

1604
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: I think it'll be more like a Patrick Mahomes deal

1605
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, it's interesting to note not that there

1606
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 1: won't be a mix between them. That Ingineti's assessment. He's

1607
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 1: tacking the four year, one hundred and sixty eight million

1608
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: dollars in new money on top of the current fourth

1609
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: year of his existing contract and the fifth year option

1610
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Then the four year extension would

1611
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: kick in in the twenty twenty three season and run

1612
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 1: through his age thirty season in twenty twenty six. I

1613
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: thought that was interesting, which could be could very well

1614
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: be the way it plays out, Steve, because we've heard

1615
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean say he wants to get a picture of

1616
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: how fans in the stands is going to look in

1617
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 1: the fall, and if they don't have that by early May,

1618
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: they will exercise the fifty year option to buy them

1619
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,679
Speaker 1: some more time. But that would automatically lock Josh Allen

1620
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:55,480
Speaker 1: in into the equivalent of the transition tag at quarterback,

1621
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 1: which is going to be about twenty six million dollars

1622
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 1: for the twenty two year. Yeah, and that would that

1623
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,920
Speaker 1: be guarantee? I think yes, it is guaranteed fully, not

1624
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: just for injury, because he made the Pro Bowl in

1625
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 1: one of his first three seasons, that being this year.

1626
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: So it's automatic the transition tag, and it's automatic guarantee, right.

1627
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, all this stuff is on the table.

1628
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 1: We can also talk to We're gonna have Andrew Brandon

1629
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: at the two o'clock hour, and he's talked a little

1630
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 1: bit and wrote about written about the mirage of reporting

1631
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 1: NFL contracts. You get guys that are getting these avoidable deals,

1632
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 1: and there are all kinds of loopholes so that the

1633
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 1: clubs can get around the salary cap if they've got

1634
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 1: the cash on hand. Well, the Bills very astutely did

1635
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 1: that with the Trey White extension and the Dion Dawkins

1636
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: extension because the pandemic was already full bore and there

1637
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 1: was a very good chance that they were going to

1638
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 1: be revenue losses that was going to impact the cap

1639
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: and send it in the wrong direction. And so the

1640
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,480
Speaker 1: Bills signed two other cornerstone players to long term extensions

1641
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: with option bonuses that essentially gave them cap relief this

1642
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 1: year on those respective players twenty twenty one cap numbers

1643
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: and guaranteed the final year of their content or guaranteed

1644
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 1: the final year of the contracts on the back end.

1645
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:19,000
Speaker 1: So it's a win for the player because they get

1646
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 1: the extra year tacked on, and then it's a win

1647
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: for the team because it creates cap space to the

1648
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 1: tune of fifteen million for the two of those players,

1649
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 1: so it was helpful. Yeah, it helps free up some

1650
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: space so that they can, you know, sign other guys.

1651
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,839
Speaker 1: I mean they're still I mean we're getting we're hearing rumblings.

1652
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 1: Have no names or no idea, but they're still signing guys.

1653
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,919
Speaker 1: They're still working guys out, They're bringing people in for workouts,

1654
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: free agents stuff, no names. I have no idea who

1655
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: they are. But most team, like the Bills and everybody else,

1656
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: they got to fill their roster out for training camp.

1657
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 1: And I know this too. The Bills have never won

1658
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: to sign get to eighty five guys and then just

1659
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: sit down and wait for training camp to start. They'll

1660
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:59,640
Speaker 1: bring guys in. They'll bring guys in for OTAs and

1661
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: many camps and in shorts workout and team building things,

1662
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 1: and then they'll say, yeah, thanks for stopping, buy you're out,

1663
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 1: and they'll bring another guy in. And that's their tryout

1664
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: was in shorts and team building exercises. So that's that's

1665
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: still going on. That's still going on even as we

1666
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 1: speak and along. And also just fourteen minutes ago, the

1667
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:27,240
Speaker 1: NFL ownership started to meet via conference call or zoom

1668
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:29,800
Speaker 1: and started to vote on the resolutions. For the rule

1669
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: change that's going on, even like right now, I don't

1670
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: know if they're they're doing rules changes from the Competition Committee.

1671
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 1: In terms of some of those new things they were

1672
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: going to there were reports they were gonna table. Some

1673
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: of those focus on the seventeenth game, three preseason games,

1674
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 1: and a couple of other items including how the media

1675
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,759
Speaker 1: rights moneies are going to impact the cap going forward.

1676
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: So those are things that it sounds like they're going

1677
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,120
Speaker 1: to hash out in this round of owner's meetings. It

1678
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: sounds as though the proposals with respect to rules changes

1679
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 1: like the Ravens spot and choose for overtime and stuff

1680
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:14,679
Speaker 1: like that will be entertained in May. We also want

1681
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 1: to get to the tweet sheet at this time because

1682

Speaker 1: we were asking you on the Twitter poll today. With

1683
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,439

Speaker 1: on a year over a year since well, heck, what's

1687
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 1: the last home game with full attendance had to be

01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 1: Week sixteen or seventeen to the twenty nineteen season, So

1689
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,880

1696
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,799
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment,

1697
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: rule and company of the Buffalo Bills. And as I

1698
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: hear that horn again, Steve, I'm happy to report I

1699
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: finished my defensive driving course online last night. Did the

1700
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: a six hour sojourns? Do they give you like a

1701
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: little like a printable certificate or No, it's arriving by

1702
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 1: regular snail mail really in ten to fifteen days, and

1703
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: then I have to submit that to my insurer to

1704
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: get the discount, which is the whole reason I put

1705
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 1: in six hours online. I'm telling you, man, you try

1706
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 1: to zip through these sections. It's like, Okay, I get

1707
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:41,760
Speaker 1: what you're saying here. I don't need to watch the

1708
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:43,719
Speaker 1: next two and a half minutes. I get the point,

1709
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 1: and you try to zip through it. No, it is

1710
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 1: specifically time, so you have to sit there and wait

1711
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: for the clock to count down so you can move

1712
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 1: on to the next section. It's tedious, man, tedious. This

1713
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 1: better all I'm going to say. Self improvement better payoffs.

1714
01:45:57,360 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: Self improvement is always about acrifice, Brownie. Just remember that. Yes,

1715
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, six hours of my life I'm never getting back.

1716
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: It's right, but you're you're going to get your money back. Well,

1717
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: let's hope. So you know, what do you what do

1718
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 1: you miss most about attending Bill's home games? Jeremy says

1719
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 1: not enough space on Twitter to explain what I miss

1720
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: about attending games, from the aromatics scents in the parking

1721
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: lot to getting tickets from a stranger in someone's front

1722
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: yard while tailgating. There is no other experience in the

1723
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: NFL like it. Yeah, you know what I've noticed, um

1724
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: that I kind of like as you walk in, as

1725
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: you pull in one Bill's drive there off Abbot. You

1726
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: know the mafia has bought that little enclave, yeah, unclave,

1727
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's it's turned it into a

1728
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:51,559
Speaker 1: to a location for the Freemasons or something, so it's uncle.

1729
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 1: It is that patch that's a group of houses around

1730
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. And I and we went to and you know,

1731
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: recently we went to Green Bay and that is what

1732
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: has happened in Green Bay as well. You get some

1733
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: bills fans that are you know, prosperous and have the

1734
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: wherewithal or the want to want to, and they form

1735
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: a little partnership and groups of people buy the houses

1736
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,960
Speaker 1: nearby and they renovate them, make them into these little

1737
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 1: little party venues for tailgate. I mean, they just they

1738
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: It's what it is, is just a bar. Green Bay

1739
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: Stadium has dropped in the middle of a suburban area,

1740
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: that's all it is. And every every house that is

1741
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: ringing around Green Bay Stadium has been bought by a

1742
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:35,799
Speaker 1: group of buddies and renovated and made into an outdoor

1743
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:37,759
Speaker 1: living space so they can go out there. They tailgate.

1744
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:39,879
Speaker 1: When they got TVs, they got it, they got bathrooms.

1745
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 1: Now they're not. They don't pay for parking and they

1746
01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:45,120
Speaker 1: just pull in and they and they got friends there,

1747
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 1: they get the food and you know, and it's all

1748
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: done up and they've got you know, amenities there for

1749
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:55,679
Speaker 1: their tailgate. That's what's happening. Bathroom, that's what's happening here

1750
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. And uh, you know so and you

1751
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 1: mentioned it, you know, somewhere down the line, when they

1752
01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 1: renovate High Mark Stadium again or rebuild it somewhere else,

1753
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 1: that's that may change vastly. And that's that's I think

1754
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: that there's now at this point, with particularly with the

1755
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 1: team now playing well, a lot of sentimental value of

1756
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 1: the geographic location of this stadium in Buffalo right now.

1757
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:28,800
Speaker 1: I remember that back in the day, and that was

1758
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 1: the way before my time, when they you know, they

1759
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: had to pay for an enclosed stadium that they signed

1760
01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 1: a contract on and they had to pay for it twice,

1761
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: and they built this stadium. They were gonna put one

1762
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:42,560
Speaker 1: downtown where is it gonna be? And they put it

1763
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: out here, and they remember that. I still hear stories

1764
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 1: from old timers about the first game here, preseason game,

1765
01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 1: and it was a mess. Traffic. People couldn't get in,

1766
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get out. They know how the traffic patterns were

1767
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna work, What were they gonna do? And it was

1768
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 1: just a total train wreck. And now Silky Smith, well oiled,

1769
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 1: hads a machine now and it's great and it's got

1770
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 1: its own personality. And it went from an ugly duckling

1771
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 1: into this, you know place that's near and dear to us.

1772
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 1: Derek on the tweet sheet says, what I miss the

1773
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 1: most is the smell of the parking lot as you

1774
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 1: drive up to the standards. The second smell comment. Whether

1775
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 1: it was in the drought or the early nineties, once

1776
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 1: I got the smell of the stadium atmosphere, the goose

1777
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: bumps started popping. It's fun to you can you know,

1778
01:49:29,320 --> 01:49:31,639
Speaker 1: you don't know this, but you go down ab across

1779
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,160
Speaker 1: Abbot and then over on the ECC campus. It's all

1780
01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:36,559
Speaker 1: open ground over there, big lots and stuff, and then

1781
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 1: and there's the bus lot and all that, and then

1782
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 1: you got the RV lot, and then right close to

1783
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 1: the stadium in the field house lots and all of that.

1784
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: And then you go out in the neighborhood across twenty

1785
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: a out there and there's a neighborhood and you got

1786
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:50,800
Speaker 1: and they got the private lots where all the people are.

1787
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:53,120
Speaker 1: Then across you got the sand lot back all right,

1788
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,560
Speaker 1: and you go down all these different side roads and

1789
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,639
Speaker 1: these little places where people know and they're all all unique,

1790
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 1: and they're all different, but they're all kind of they're

1791
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 1: all the same, you know, I mean, they're all the

1792
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: same kind of people, the same kind of atmosphere. They're

1793
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: somebody's cooking something that smells fantastic. It's a feast for

1794
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 1: the census. It is awesome. And you get that out

1795
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: of there on a mid or late September game when

1796
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: it's seventy five degrees and sunny. I mean, he just

1797
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 1: can't beat it. You cannot beat it. It's so fun.

1798
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: Rusty on the tweet sheet says, I miss everything about

1799
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: a Sunday at the stadium, tailgates with friends and family,

1800
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 1: the smell of grills and camp fires, the excitement of

1801
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 1: walking in pregame. You can feel the electricity in the air,

1802
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: celebrating with the collective jubilation of fellow fans as we

1803
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 1: leave with a W. Think about this, it's even better

1804
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,439
Speaker 1: like this year when you're walking in thinking you got

1805
01:50:54,520 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 1: a W, because that would be a different animal, right man,

1806
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,839
Speaker 1: oh man, I just it was just such a bummer.

1807
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:07,600
Speaker 1: But in that booth last year when that can you

1808
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 1: imagine I've said this a million times, Oh, can you

1809
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: imagine what that place would have happened when Tarren Johnson

1810
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: picks off Lamar Jackson and takes it one hundred and

1811
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 1: one yards on the pick six in the third quarter

1812
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 1: of a playoff game to put you up by fourteen points.

1813
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,040
Speaker 1: It was loud. With sixty eight hundred people, it was

1814
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: very loud. They had a couple of consecutive penalties it

1815
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: that place, the earth would have shook. Oh yeah, it

1816
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 1: would have been seismic. Quite literally, it was. I was

1817
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: doing the game with Murph and I'm watching that heat

1818
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: catches that in the end zone and I'm thinking, just

1819
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,720
Speaker 1: go down. All right, cool, we got almost just go down.

1820
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 1: He was thinking about it. Then he comes out and

1821
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 1: I'm going, h I got some Then he got out

1822
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: and he turned it turned out towards to his right,

1823
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: to the near side, to the to the home side,

1824
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:53,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, at least he's gonna get some yardage.

1825
01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:57,200
Speaker 1: Then he turns it. I'm like, oh. It was all

1826
01:51:57,280 --> 01:52:00,120
Speaker 1: I could do, not just not to step up all

1827
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 1: over Murph's call of that play. I had. I was

1828
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: sitting there. I literally had my hand over my mouth.

1829
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: I just it was. It took such effort and uh

1830
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:12,599
Speaker 1: and to see him go into it and then when

1831
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 1: he stepped outside of Tredavious White to get the rest

1832
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 1: of it in and Lamar couldn't decide whether to try

1833
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 1: and outrun him and cut him off or to make him,

1834
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, to try and cut behind Treday. He tries

1835
01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: to cut behind Trdavious all over. It's like, oh it

1836
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: would have been. It's just unbelievable that play and that

1837
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 1: and that's, you know, just a tragedy that that stadium

1838
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: was not just standing room only filled to the gills,

1839
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 1: just packed, pack pack pack pack packed, and there's you know,

1840
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:49,679
Speaker 1: you can see you can see the picture in the highlight.

1841
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: Where are going to people behind him is you know,

1842
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: it looks family. Everybody in their place is jumping up

1843
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:58,840
Speaker 1: and down. Nobody's just cheering. They're all jumping up and down.

1844
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 1: It's like popcorn. It's like red, white and blue popcorn

1845
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:05,640
Speaker 1: in the stands. Oh my gosh. You know that's just

1846
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:07,600
Speaker 1: the tragedy of all of it. Man, oh man, you

1847
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:09,800
Speaker 1: know you're never gonna get it back. But we don't

1848
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 1: know what's hopefully, We're all hopeful, the fans and the team. Nothing.

1849
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 1: We don't know anything at all. Nothing's been announced and

1850
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 1: nothing will be announced. But man, opening day, if it's

1851
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 1: back to normal on opening day of twenty twenty one,

1852
01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 1: say it's an opening day and your bills are you

1853
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: know hosting? You know you pick New England, right, We're

1854
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 1: hosting New England Opening Day twenty twenty one. And you

1855
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,600
Speaker 1: know they introduce whoever, they introduce the offense and the

1856
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: last guy asked, Josh, that's enough. That's enough to make

1857
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:50,240
Speaker 1: it choke up waiting on that. Oh my gosh. We

1858
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:53,679
Speaker 1: got to just wait till May for the schedule, schedule

1859
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: and the draft. By the way, we got the draft

1860
01:53:55,280 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: coming up town, so we're gonna get some new members

1861
01:53:57,520 --> 01:53:59,920
Speaker 1: of the family as well. Brooke on the tweet sheet says,

1862
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 1: I think going with my family is what I miss most.

1863
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: We would all go together and just have a fun time.

1864
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: Short and sweet but true. Short and sweet but true. Yeah.

1865
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 1: And it's not just your actual family members, your blood.

1866
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 1: If you're a season ticket holder, you're sitting in the

1867
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,519
Speaker 1: same seat every year, the people around you kind of

1868
01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 1: become your family on the weekends too. It's been more

1869
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: than a couple people, a couple of couples, a couple

1870
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 1: of married people. Difference, couples that have come to say

1871
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: first date was a Bills game, or I knew one

1872
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:36,280
Speaker 1: couple and I can't remember him, but I remember hearing

1873
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 1: the story. They weren't together and they met up at

1874
01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: a Bills game. Yeah right, they were like sitting there

1875
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: and they were like, yeah, you know, they're a little

1876
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: a little spark and then all of a sudden, now

1877
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 1: they got season tickets together, and they share kids and

1878
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:55,000
Speaker 1: they're married. Right, all right, that's hey whatever, it's big man.

1879
01:54:56,360 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 1: It's great Bills and Mets fans say as I miss

1880
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: being with my people. I am a fan of other

1881
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: teams and other sports, but there is no group that

1882
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 1: I have ever seen as close knit or as fun

1883
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:13,560
Speaker 1: to be around. I miss being with Buffalo fans. I

1884
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 1: missed the characters. I missed the satisfying ride home to

1885
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:22,800
Speaker 1: PA after an exciting win. It's yeah, that's somebody that

1886
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 1: put puts miles on the tires every home game. There's

1887
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 1: a ton of people like that. I know, people far

1888
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 1: away as Columbus, Ohio. They have season tickets. Yeah yeah,

1889
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 1: make that drive over old people coming from the from

1890
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 1: north of the border. You know, when's that going to

1891
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 1: change too? I mean, colleague Joe Willickers, Yeah it's still closed. Yeah,

1892
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: so it's you know, we're a long way from what

1893
01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:47,440
Speaker 1: do you call it. We're not even in the stratos

1894
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 1: field steal. Yeah right, hopefully we get there soon, at

1895
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 1: least in the stratosphere. Um, because this is getting old,

1896
01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:01,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that right now. Jay says, the entire

1897
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,480
Speaker 1: experience of being at a home game, it's like a great,

1898
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 1: big family reunion. The smells, people are the old factories

1899
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:14,840
Speaker 1: are on overload, apparently, I guess around the stadium, tailgating

1900
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:17,120
Speaker 1: with friends and family, the energy and the atmosphere, the

1901
01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: sights and sounds of being there in person, there's nothing

1902
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 1: else like it. No other sports compares. And the original

1903
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:29,160
Speaker 1: Patriot says the pregame breakfast tailgate and the camaraderie and

1904
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:32,760
Speaker 1: excitement of the crowd with kids. Sometimes it's better to

1905
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 1: just stay at home. Though you can get a little

1906
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 1: raucous in certain areas of the stadium, family sections pretty

1907
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 1: contamed though. It's the beauty of it too, though, Like

1908
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 1: and I've been through this as well, where yeah, you

1909
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 1: want to go, but you know, it just doesn't make

1910
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 1: sense because you're not gonna be able to sit together.

1911
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 1: You got tickets apart from each other. You know what,

1912
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 1: Let's just let's stay at home watching on the TV

1913
01:56:57,200 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: and do it that way, you can having it there,

1914
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 1: I get it. But when you can go and sit together,

1915
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 1: it's great. But having the options, like you know what,

1916
01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 1: it's just too cold. I am so glad. I've got

1917
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 1: to built an excuse that I don't have to go

1918
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 1: to the game today because I know it's gonna be great.

1919
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 1: But I got you know, I get it. I'm gonna

1920
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 1: have people, I'm gonna watch we have a party. Being

1921
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: able to watch it in your own house sometimes it's

1922
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 1: just as good too. But you know this last year

1923
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,480
Speaker 1: we all got enough. Yeah, but that choice, the choice

1924
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: of doing either or was taken away, and then it

1925
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 1: was just figure it out. And then with social distancing,

1926
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:38,120
Speaker 1: it was like, well, if we're doing it with friends,

1927
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 1: we got to roll the TV out to the driveway.

1928
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Even that wasn't as good, you know, I mean, I

1929
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: I'd be driving out here for the game. You got

1930
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,000
Speaker 1: people setting it up in the driveways just so their

1931
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 1: neighbors can come over and hang out. Everybody can sit

1932
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: in lawn chairs and distance outside. You can't do that

1933
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 1: in the house. Once you got to November, people were

1934
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: getting creative, man, right, they were getting creative. Yeah, to

1935
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 1: still do the group thing because everybody had to be

1936
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: You had to be sensitive to what was going on.

1937
01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 1: And you know, even with your friend and your neighbors

1938
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 1: and all that. You know, like I said, I've told

1939
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:15,520
Speaker 1: you we had this the isolation pod. We were real

1940
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 1: sensitive to keeping that sequestered from the rest of society.

1941
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:24,360
Speaker 1: Still do and but you still wanted to. You know,

1942
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:27,880
Speaker 1: you got used to like more than an arm's length

1943
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: the way like you and I sit here every day

1944
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 1: you reach out. That's that's far enough. But you gotta

1945
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 1: still wear a mask. And ah, oh gosh, it's crazy.

1946
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,320
Speaker 1: We still got plexi glass. Yeah we may keep that.

1947
01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of liken that actually, but it would be

1948
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 1: one of the all time adjustments. But yeah, I think

1949
01:58:44,640 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 1: about that. All the hoops we all had to jump

1950
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: through just to hang out for a game, a lot

1951
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:56,600
Speaker 1: of masks. We gotta take a break when we returned.

1952
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 1: We're going to uh do a little lunch, Steve. We

1953
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 1: got on here early. We really have time for lunch,

1954
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 1: but now we do so a little what's for lunch

1955
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: as we pick things off the NFL menu when we

1956
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 1: return here On One Bills Live presented by Kellid to Health,

1957
01:59:10,960 --> 01:59:26,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. It's one Bills Live and it's

1958
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 1: time for some lunch. Steve, all right, what's for lunch?

1959
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,560
Speaker 1: Where we pick some things off the NFL menu When

1960
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,840
Speaker 1: given a couple of choices and leading us off this time,

1961
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:41,720
Speaker 1: Steve is an interesting one. I think we're gonna ask

1962
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:45,840
Speaker 1: which running grat Well, let me try that again. Which

1963
01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 1: running back group would you rather have? The Titans running

1964
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 1: backs or the Colts running backs? And I will tell

1965
01:59:54,920 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 1: you In free agency, the Colts have successfully resigned Marlin Max,

1966
02:00:00,440 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: so he is back on the roster, but he's coming

1967
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 1: off a nasty Achilles injury. He is back in the equation.

1968
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 1: As we know. They also have Niheim Hines, their big

1969
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:16,520
Speaker 1: time receiving back. You see the others there, Jonathan Taylor

1970
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 1: obviously the most notable name on the Colt side of

1971
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 1: the ledger, and then Derrick Henry and some people and

1972
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 1: everybody else. Yeah, Derrick Henry and whoever else they've will

1973
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 1: line up, including former Bill Centerias Perry. I'm or Sonora's Perry. Yeah,

1974
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm taking the Titans just because of Derek.

1975
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:41,680
Speaker 1: What about the argument that the Colts offensive line is

1976
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 1: superior and so their run game should be more productive. Well,

1977
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:49,200
Speaker 1: first of all, do you think offensive line? Well we're talking, Well,

1978
02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 1: that's true. I'm taking their running back. I'm taking the

1979
02:00:52,360 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee running backs. You're right. If I was taking the

1980
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: offensive lines, I take the Colts all day. Be as

1981
02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking from a run game production perspective, this

1982
02:00:59,640 --> 02:01:03,800
Speaker 1: is all just running back a restaurant. I saw a

1983
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:08,520
Speaker 1: video of Derrick Henry working out yesterday. Did you see

1984
02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 1: that thing? Chains around his neck? So he's got about

1985
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:15,360
Speaker 1: twenty link chain around him. It's big. It's a big one.

1986
02:01:15,480 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 1: It's like King Kong, the stuff you toe semis with. Right,

1987
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:22,360
Speaker 1: So that's around his neck. He's got his feet up

1988
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 1: on a giant exercise ball, right, and he's in a

1989
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:31,240
Speaker 1: push up position, right, except his hands are on a

1990
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:37,080
Speaker 1: giant band rubber band that is stretching across a weight rack.

1991
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,480
Speaker 1: So he's suspending the upper half of his body on

1992
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: a rubber band with forty pounds a chain around, with

1993
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 1: forty pounds of chain around his neck, and his feet

1994
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: propped up on his toes on a giant exercise ball,

1995
02:01:51,360 --> 02:01:54,560
Speaker 1: and he is laying he's he's out parallel to the

1996
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:57,840
Speaker 1: so he's got this So he's got his hands on

1997
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:00,560
Speaker 1: this rubber band and they're quivering, so you you know,

1998
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:03,760
Speaker 1: you're you know it's unstable. I mean it's the whole time, right,

1999
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:07,400
Speaker 1: it's balance and his feet are on around ball, there's

2000
02:02:07,520 --> 02:02:12,280
Speaker 1: toes and he's got this chain. How I don't even

2001
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:14,640
Speaker 1: know how he got up there, I mean, how do

2002
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:17,400
Speaker 1: you even get in that position? I would imagine you

2003
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 1: do the hands first, and then you lift your feet

2004
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:22,760
Speaker 1: up onto the ball. Somebody holds it, put the chain

2005
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 1: around your neck, hands in the you gotta put that loop,

2006
02:02:26,200 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the chain over the top of the band because your

2007
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:29,960
Speaker 1: head goes past the band, right, and then you gotta

2008
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 1: put so Then he's doing and it's like his his

2009
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: his whole upper body and torso are just quivering keeping

2010
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:41,760
Speaker 1: this under control while he does these bush ups. It

2011
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:44,280
Speaker 1: was impressive though, because he just wrapped out like twenty

2012
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: five of them like they were nothing. It looks like

2013
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:50,480
Speaker 1: it's there's such tension death by push ups, right, It's

2014
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:53,520
Speaker 1: like such tension in this whole get up, this whole

2015
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:56,600
Speaker 1: little apparatus that he's got going. You get the feeling

2016
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,440
Speaker 1: that like if you dropped a feather on his back

2017
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: would all just go back right. It's like one of

2018
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,640
Speaker 1: those is like a mouse trap that's just quivering about

2019
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 1: to be snapped, right, think, I mean, who comes up

2020
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:14,360
Speaker 1: with that? Well, the only other guy that I've seen

2021
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:18,560
Speaker 1: do some of those unorthodox things is James Harrison, the

2022
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: former Steelers linebacker. But he just does it for kicks

2023
02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:24,800
Speaker 1: and giggles well, which makes it even more ridiculous. Everybody

2024
02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:28,920
Speaker 1: doesn't the whole thing. Now, play with a thirty pound

2025
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:31,640
Speaker 1: medicine ball. Do you remember that? I did not see that. Now.

2026
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 1: They weren't propping it up and slamming it. They were

2027
02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:37,360
Speaker 1: just catching it and throwing it back over, catching it, throwing.

2028
02:03:37,560 --> 02:03:39,600
Speaker 1: But it's a thirty pound medicine ball coming at you,

2029
02:03:39,720 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 1: catching it and throwing it back. The thing about it, now,

2030
02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 1: they do all this this off the wall kind of

2031
02:03:45,200 --> 02:03:47,000
Speaker 1: exercise of the way I understand it. I'm not a

2032
02:03:47,080 --> 02:03:49,320
Speaker 1: sports scientist, and I believe me, I do not work out,

2033
02:03:49,400 --> 02:03:54,160
Speaker 1: So uh, been there, done right, I've had my fill.

2034
02:03:55,120 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 1: They do this now because of the core. Everybody's into

2035
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 1: core training, which means you do these outlandish things that

2036
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:03,880
Speaker 1: move your shoulders and your hips in concert with you.

2037
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 1: So you train the muscles between your shoulders and your pelvis,

2038
02:04:07,520 --> 02:04:09,520
Speaker 1: as well as your arms and legs, and you get

2039
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:12,280
Speaker 1: these big gun, big arms and big legs. But they

2040
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:14,920
Speaker 1: also train the muscles or your core of your spine

2041
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:17,320
Speaker 1: and your abs and your chest or all that in

2042
02:04:17,360 --> 02:04:19,880
Speaker 1: your back. So they do all this kind of funky

2043
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,160
Speaker 1: stuff like throw a ball over and catch it, and

2044
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, they do all this human activity rather than

2045
02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:28,520
Speaker 1: just laying on your back and pushing weight off your chest.

2046
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:34,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of been evolving since I was They started

2047
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: that when I was in the league. I say they

2048
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:40,240
Speaker 1: started it, but core, the word core training started. We

2049
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 1: heard it all the way back in my day, and

2050
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:43,720
Speaker 1: now it's it's come to this where you've got guys

2051
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:46,960
Speaker 1: doing all these outlandish, funky stuff. That's kind of cool

2052
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:50,480
Speaker 1: to watch. It is cool to watch. I know I

2053
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: couldn't come up with it myself, so maybe I'm just

2054
02:04:52,800 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 1: not inventive enough with a workout regimen. Next on the

2055
02:04:57,320 --> 02:05:04,120
Speaker 1: menu Steve more interesting offseason team the Texans or the Jaguars,

2056
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 1: two former expansion teams in the league. Both teams have

2057
02:05:08,400 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 1: been pretty active in the free agent market. I am

2058
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:13,840
Speaker 1: pulling up my free agency files to run down the

2059
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:17,280
Speaker 1: list of some of the more notable acquisitions by each

2060
02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: of the teams. I don't know, because it's so much

2061
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:22,520
Speaker 1: better that it's their team and not your team. I

2062
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:25,640
Speaker 1: think it's got to be the Houston team because of

2063
02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:28,360
Speaker 1: what's going on with Deshaun and the relationship. Forget about

2064
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:33,160
Speaker 1: his legal problems, but his relationship with the club is gone.

2065
02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 1: He wanted out of their bad the Tech, they said

2066
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:39,920
Speaker 1: goodbye to JJ Watt. They had already traded in all

2067
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:43,560
Speaker 1: the you know, a lot of draft picks. They have

2068
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 1: to kind of rebuild from the ground up. And the Jaguars,

2069
02:05:46,520 --> 02:05:50,840
Speaker 1: even though Urban Meyer is now their head coach, to me,

2070
02:05:53,240 --> 02:05:58,240
Speaker 1: they've been surprisingly under the radar. And these teams are

2071
02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:02,480
Speaker 1: in the same division. Let's not forget that. Yeah, they

2072
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 1: have signed a few guys to big contracts. Shaquille Griffin

2073
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:12,080
Speaker 1: from Seattle Jacksonville signed three years forty million. They signed

2074
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: safety ray Shawn Jenkins from the Chargers four years thirty

2075
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,640
Speaker 1: five million, and then the defensive tackle from Chicago, Roy

2076
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:23,840
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris three years twenty four million. Everybody else has

2077
02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:29,840
Speaker 1: been pretty low budget. Marvin Jones was another signing two

2078
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: years fourteen and a half million. So it's an interesting

2079
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 1: approach that Jacksonville has taken under the new head coach,

2080
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:42,160
Speaker 1: and I wonder how good they are going to be.

2081
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Obviously Trevor Lawrence is going to be the crown jewel

2082
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:49,000
Speaker 1: of the additions there. But how far do they go

2083
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:53,120
Speaker 1: this year in a division that has two teams clearly

2084
02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:55,000
Speaker 1: ahead of them in the pecking order in the Titans

2085
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,480
Speaker 1: and the Colts, two teams that have both been in

2086
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think it's an uphill climb for them.

2087
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't see them being a playoff team in year

2088
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 1: one under Lawrence. Could be wrong, but I just don't

2089
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:10,040
Speaker 1: see it. And then Houston, I think has the potential

2090
02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:13,360
Speaker 1: to be a train wreck, like be a three or

2091
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: four win team this year. What were they last year?

2092
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Five and eleven or four and twelve? They were four

2093
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and twelve. They might not get four wins, might not

2094
02:07:22,160 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 1: get four wins, not if their quarterbacks suspended for any

2095
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,840
Speaker 1: length of time. They won four games with Watson and

2096
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:32,040
Speaker 1: he was lights out. Led the league in passing, he

2097
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:36,840
Speaker 1: was lights out. He and so passing yards right. He

2098
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:40,600
Speaker 1: was that team last year. Say what you want about

2099
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:44,400
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. Watson was the only thing they had going

2100
02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:50,880
Speaker 1: for him offensively. So, oh my gosh, it's I mean, yeah,

2101
02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're in a rebuild, you know. So They've

2102
02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:55,760
Speaker 1: signed a ton of players, but a lot of one

2103
02:07:55,840 --> 02:07:59,120
Speaker 1: year contracts, a lot of Tier two, tier three type

2104
02:07:59,160 --> 02:08:02,760
Speaker 1: free agents. So yeah, I mean, Houston's just gonna flat

2105
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:07,520
Speaker 1: out struggle this year. They had no cap space. Oh yeah,

2106
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:11,400
Speaker 1: it was a mess. It was a mess down there. Okay,

2107
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:14,960
Speaker 1: one more menu item here, Steve on what's for lunch?

2108
02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Which head coach will have more wins in twenty twenty

2109
02:08:19,080 --> 02:08:25,200
Speaker 1: one Brandon Stanley from the Chargers, Robert Sala for the Jets,

2110
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 1: or Arthur Smith from the Falcons. Three of the new

2111
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:34,040
Speaker 1: head coaches this year, all of whom are first time

2112
02:08:34,640 --> 02:08:39,520
Speaker 1: head coaches in the league. Is a tough one, I mean,

2113
02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 1: due in part to the fact that, you know, we

2114
02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:43,800
Speaker 1: don't know what these teams are going to add in

2115
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 1: the draft. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, Arthur Smith

2116
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:58,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons ice the division is down with is not

2117
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: there anymore? Breeze is gone on that helps still got

2118
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: to play the Super Bowl champions Tampa Bay twice. No question,

2119
02:09:06,800 --> 02:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Caroline is not quite there yet. They don't know, you know,

2120
02:09:09,040 --> 02:09:12,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna be taking snaps for them? And Robert Smith

2121
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:15,280
Speaker 1: is a sharp guy, Arthur Smith. What'd I say Robert

2122
02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Arthur's I didn't say Robert Smith's smart too. He was

2123
02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 1: a doctor, wasn't he After becoming a running back in

2124
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:22,960
Speaker 1: the league for the Vikings, they went to medical school. Yes,

2125
02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 1: he's smart too. Yeah, so yeah, So I think Arthur

2126
02:09:31,680 --> 02:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Smith has got a better chance to I think the

2127
02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Falcons win more games because of the division they're in

2128
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:40,320
Speaker 1: and what Arthur Smith has to work with in Atlanta.

2129
02:09:40,960 --> 02:09:43,160
Speaker 1: That's my call. Although the Chargers a go. I have

2130
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:45,640
Speaker 1: a temptation to go with the Chargers. I don't know why.

2131
02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:48,400
Speaker 1: It's a tough division, though it is a tough division

2132
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:52,560
Speaker 1: depending on who the Broncos get for a quarterback. If

2133
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:56,280
Speaker 1: Drew Luck is not the guy. I think the Raiders

2134
02:09:56,320 --> 02:10:00,080
Speaker 1: are just managerially a mess. They may have talent, but

2135
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 1: in terms of how they're run, I just don't see

2136
02:10:04,240 --> 02:10:06,800
Speaker 1: them competing. They don't play well on Sunday, you know

2137
02:10:07,120 --> 02:10:11,200
Speaker 1: they don't. They're not They're not a good situational football

2138
02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 1: team at all. Think about how they botched the end

2139
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:18,160
Speaker 1: of that game with Fitzpatrick and the Dolphin. They botched.

2140
02:10:18,240 --> 02:10:21,360
Speaker 1: It's totally and that's not the only example of that.

2141
02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:26,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't even handle COVID multiple violations, paying fines like

2142
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:29,880
Speaker 1: how I'm not saying it was easy, but it's like,

2143
02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:34,640
Speaker 1: here are the protocols, follow them. Yeah, And it's also

2144
02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:40,240
Speaker 1: this it's hard to and to me, that's a discipline

2145
02:10:40,280 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 1: issue where you know you're not adhering to the protocols. Uh.

2146
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,520
Speaker 1: And you can say that you know they didn't care

2147
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:54,480
Speaker 1: enough as an organization, but that to me translates over

2148
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:57,440
Speaker 1: onto the field. If you if that's the attitude of

2149
02:10:57,560 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 1: your football team and your orgization in the big picture,

2150
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be their attitude in the small

2151
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:07,640
Speaker 1: picture in the details as well, and that leads to

2152
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:10,560
Speaker 1: bad football. I'm gonna go Chargers here. I don't know

2153
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: if they're gonna make the playoffs, but I think they

2154
02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,240
Speaker 1: got a chance to be somewhere around five hundred, especially

2155
02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 1: if Herbert takes another step. Get a lot of talent

2156
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:22,280
Speaker 1: on offense. They've retooled the offensive line. Bosa, if he's healthy,

2157
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:24,120
Speaker 1: can stay healthy for a whole year, You've got a

2158
02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 1: premier pass rusher. Brandon Staley's an unknown commodity. No it's

2159
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:31,040
Speaker 1: had a coach defense. Hopefully you know, get a good

2160
02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:34,200
Speaker 1: OC there. You could have something we'll see. Great time

2161
02:11:34,240 --> 02:11:37,320
Speaker 1: for us when we come back. We've got plenty more

2162
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 1: for you, including one Kyle Brandt or not Kyle Brandt,

2163
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:45,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Brandt had the wrong brand Andrew Brandt who has

2164
02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:48,080
Speaker 1: an interesting right up on si dot com. We'll talk

2165
02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:51,400
Speaker 1: to him about that, the seventeenth game, free agency and

2166
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:55,280
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen contract extension and what it might look like.

2167
02:11:55,720 --> 02:11:58,040
Speaker 1: It's all coming your way in about ten minutes time.

2168
02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live, presented by to Health is

2169
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:17,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

2170
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:20,280
Speaker 1: There's some news on the off season front coming out

2171
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of the owners meetings. The NFL is apparently this according

2172
02:12:23,200 --> 02:12:27,080
Speaker 1: to Tom Pelisero from NFL Network, the NFL informed clubs

2173
02:12:27,120 --> 02:12:33,320
Speaker 1: today they can begin Phase one of OTA's on April nineteenth.

2174
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:36,240
Speaker 1: According to a source, players are still allowed to work

2175
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: out at the facility in small groups as many have been.

2176
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:44,440
Speaker 1: The NFL and the Players Association continue to discuss virtual

2177
02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:49,000
Speaker 1: versus in person meetings and on field work soon thereafter.

2178
02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 1: So this means essentially steve no head start for teams

2179
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:58,760
Speaker 1: with new head coaches this spring, who normally get an

2180
02:12:58,840 --> 02:13:02,800
Speaker 1: extra week to institute their schemes and how they're gonna

2181
02:13:02,840 --> 02:13:05,960
Speaker 1: run things unlike a year ago. Some players have already

2182
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: been working out in team facilities, and there's hope for

2183
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 1: practices this spring, even if meetings remain virtual indefinitely. Yeah,

2184
02:13:16,640 --> 02:13:19,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an interesting picture. It will. I think

2185
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:21,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna ease up as they move along. I think,

2186
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, guys start to get vaccinated, or everybody starts

2187
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:28,240
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated more and more, and it'll it'll happen.

2188
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:31,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, two weeks that's suddenly. See was today? Yeah,

2189
02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:35,560
Speaker 1: two weeks away, three weeks away about um, And they'll

2190
02:13:35,600 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: start with the way they did last year, probably a

2191
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 1: little less stringent than they did a year ago, and uh,

2192
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:44,800
Speaker 1: move forward. It'll be interesting to see how long it

2193
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:50,480
Speaker 1: takes for this to change. Small groups can work out.

2194
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:52,720
Speaker 1: I remember they had they could have like fifteen guys

2195
02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 1: in the building at once, and that was all it

2196
02:13:54,920 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 1: was last year. I guess that's the way they're doing

2197
02:13:57,720 --> 02:13:59,560
Speaker 1: it now again, and they'll be able to have guys

2198
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:01,600
Speaker 1: in and they start working out again. But man, oh man,

2199
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:04,480
Speaker 1: what a chore for the coaching staff. You gotta fifteen.

2200
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:06,200
Speaker 1: You can't get him all and get him done and

2201
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:08,360
Speaker 1: then get out. You know you gotta stay there. Here's

2202
02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:10,800
Speaker 1: another fifteen guys. Now I've got another fifteen guys and

2203
02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:13,560
Speaker 1: another fifteen guy. Take you all day. Just get one

2204
02:14:13,640 --> 02:14:18,240
Speaker 1: workout in for the entire team. This just in Tampa

2205
02:14:18,360 --> 02:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Bay head coach Bruce Arians. If you remember he said

2206
02:14:22,680 --> 02:14:25,600
Speaker 1: back at the end of the regular season, when we

2207
02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:28,640
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, I will get a tattoo. It

2208
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:33,440
Speaker 1: has happened. He has gotten his tattoo. It is basically

2209
02:14:33,680 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl fifty five logo with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2210
02:14:39,640 --> 02:14:44,120
Speaker 1: and the flag logo of the team under that, along

2211
02:14:44,200 --> 02:14:50,360
Speaker 1: with the final score thirty one to nine. Not too bad,

2212
02:14:50,640 --> 02:14:54,720
Speaker 1: nothing super flashy. The only color in that tattoo that's

2213
02:14:54,760 --> 02:14:57,960
Speaker 1: not black or silver is the color of the Tampa

2214
02:14:58,080 --> 02:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Bay Pirate flag, which is that burnt orange color. Sure,

2215
02:15:03,640 --> 02:15:07,640
Speaker 1: I ask where the tattoo is or um, I can't

2216
02:15:07,680 --> 02:15:10,120
Speaker 1: speak to where it. Oh, it's on his back. Looks

2217
02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:14,400
Speaker 1: like it is on his left shoulder blade. Okay, so

2218
02:15:14,600 --> 02:15:17,600
Speaker 1: there you go. All right. It's pretty big. It's like

2219
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I would say it's as big as probably maybe the

2220
02:15:21,040 --> 02:15:25,680
Speaker 1: size of both your hands together. He didn't like, it's no,

2221
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:30,320
Speaker 1: it's this one's not kid. A fair amount of ink

2222
02:15:30,440 --> 02:15:33,080
Speaker 1: on this thing. And fortunately the tattoo artist did not

2223
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:39,000
Speaker 1: misspell buccaneers two seas two ease. That would be who

2224
02:15:39,040 --> 02:15:44,840
Speaker 1: are the chefs? Remember? Those who are the chefs? Oh?

2225
02:15:44,920 --> 02:15:47,280
Speaker 1: There it is, we got see there is Steve. What

2226
02:15:47,360 --> 02:15:50,160
Speaker 1: do you think it is? Our MSG viewers are getting

2227
02:15:50,200 --> 02:15:55,400
Speaker 1: a look at the Bruce arians tattoo. That's big? Is

2228
02:15:56,160 --> 02:15:58,360
Speaker 1: it big? Yeah? I mean look that's his head up

2229
02:15:58,400 --> 02:16:01,440
Speaker 1: there there. I see, yeah, yeah, it is big. Good

2230
02:16:01,480 --> 02:16:05,720
Speaker 1: for him. That took a minute. It sure did. TAM

2231
02:16:06,080 --> 02:16:10,160
Speaker 1: thirty one nine maybe, yeah, that's nice. That's that's tastefully done.

2232
02:16:10,200 --> 02:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I did a good job. Tastefully done. I was They

2233
02:16:16,600 --> 02:16:19,600
Speaker 1: kept putting the trophy in the middle of the Roman numerals,

2234
02:16:20,120 --> 02:16:23,280
Speaker 1: and my brain was telling me that's l ivy, right,

2235
02:16:23,360 --> 02:16:24,600
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? And so I was like,

2236
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:26,840
Speaker 1: is it fifty four or fifty five? Is the trophy

2237
02:16:26,880 --> 02:16:28,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be one of the Roman numerals? And then

2238
02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:30,360
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, it's it's fifty five. It's

2239
02:16:30,360 --> 02:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I had to keep telling myself that it

2240
02:16:33,200 --> 02:16:35,800
Speaker 1: was crossing me up. It's like that thing your brain

2241
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:40,080
Speaker 1: does when you know it either takes something out of

2242
02:16:40,160 --> 02:16:42,480
Speaker 1: a sentence or puts it into complete it for you,

2243
02:16:44,120 --> 02:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I tell you that's that's poor design. Let's just put

2244
02:16:47,040 --> 02:16:49,440
Speaker 1: it that way. Yeah, yeah, you didn't like that. I

2245
02:16:49,560 --> 02:16:52,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a huge fan a fan, so it's gonna be

2246
02:16:52,440 --> 02:16:55,320
Speaker 1: LVII next year. So Bruce arians tweeted, I'm a man

2247
02:16:55,480 --> 02:16:58,200
Speaker 1: of my word. When we win the super Bowl, I

2248
02:16:58,240 --> 02:17:00,320
Speaker 1: will get a tattoo. Well I got my and I

2249
02:17:00,440 --> 02:17:05,680
Speaker 1: love it now. Nice sacrifice, big deal. I got a

2250
02:17:05,720 --> 02:17:10,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl championship to take them on for for that.

2251
02:17:11,120 --> 02:17:13,520
Speaker 1: Huh tell him if you'd lost a super Bowl, tell

2252
02:17:13,600 --> 02:17:15,720
Speaker 1: me you get a face tattoo, then that's a bat.

2253
02:17:15,840 --> 02:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Now you're laying it out. You're laying it out there.

2254
02:17:18,920 --> 02:17:23,680
Speaker 1: Face tattoos are aggressive, don't they just scream aggression? Neck

2255
02:17:23,760 --> 02:17:28,040
Speaker 1: tattoos and face tat anything above the shoulders. Yeah, you go,

2256
02:17:28,240 --> 02:17:32,440
Speaker 1: you're I agree, you you have totally agree. You have

2257
02:17:32,640 --> 02:17:35,600
Speaker 1: zero inhibitions if you are fully committed to the face

2258
02:17:35,720 --> 02:17:39,120
Speaker 1: or the neck tattoo. Yeah, and those are not fun

2259
02:17:39,959 --> 02:17:42,960
Speaker 1: to put on. Just from I know one person who

2260
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 1: got a neck tattoo personally, Yes, and they got it

2261
02:17:47,160 --> 02:17:50,360
Speaker 1: like right on the voice box, like there is no

2262
02:17:50,640 --> 02:17:57,400
Speaker 1: meat there like that? Is you enjoy pain? If you're

2263
02:17:57,520 --> 02:18:02,440
Speaker 1: going on you're paying somebody to put ink on your

2264
02:18:02,640 --> 02:18:09,920
Speaker 1: neck with a giant needle. Hurts. I don't get it. Yeah,

2265
02:18:10,040 --> 02:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Yeah, we have to take a

2281
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:18,800
Speaker 1: events promoting health and wellness for children, families, and the community.

2282
02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:22,280

2283

2284
02:19:26,560 --> 02:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Nineteen women have sued Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson over the

2285
02:19:29,840 --> 02:19:35,680
Speaker 1: past thirteen days for misconduct during massage sessions. A twentieth

2286
02:19:35,720 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 1: woman has not sued Watson yet for now, she has

2287
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:41,640
Speaker 1: told her story to si dot com. The woman said

2288
02:19:41,720 --> 02:19:44,520
Speaker 1: that she provided a massage to Watson in twenty nineteen.

2289
02:19:44,840 --> 02:19:47,920
Speaker 1: According to her quote, Watson's conduct during their two and

2290
02:19:47,959 --> 02:19:51,920
Speaker 1: a half hour session was unlike anything she's ever experienced

2291
02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:55,160
Speaker 1: from another client that she has treated. End quote. Texans

2292
02:19:55,240 --> 02:19:57,360
Speaker 1: GM Nick Kisserio was weighed in for the first time

2293
02:19:57,400 --> 02:20:00,240
Speaker 1: on the allegations against their QB. He said on a

2294
02:20:00,320 --> 02:20:03,920
Speaker 1: Texans podcast that the Texans are following the situation and

2295
02:20:04,120 --> 02:20:08,120
Speaker 1: taking it seriously. The forty nine ers made a blockbuster

2296
02:20:08,200 --> 02:20:10,440
Speaker 1: trade late last week with the Miami Dolphins to move

2297
02:20:10,520 --> 02:20:13,520
Speaker 1: up to number three in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft.

2298
02:20:13,920 --> 02:20:15,920
Speaker 1: That can only mean that GM John Lynch is ready

2299
02:20:15,959 --> 02:20:19,359
Speaker 1: to draft a replacement for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but yesterday

2300
02:20:19,480 --> 02:20:21,640
Speaker 1: Lynch said that Garoppolo remains a part of his plans

2301
02:20:21,680 --> 02:20:25,960
Speaker 1: for the team. Lynch added that Garoppolo welcomes competition and

2302
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:28,120
Speaker 1: they don't want to see him go. Head coach Kyle

2303
02:20:28,160 --> 02:20:31,080
Speaker 1: Shanahan echoed those sentiments, told the media the team still

2304
02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:35,520
Speaker 1: plans to have Garoppolo as their starting quarterback. Najie Harris

2305
02:20:35,720 --> 02:20:37,959
Speaker 1: out to prove he's worthy of being a first round pick.

2306
02:20:38,080 --> 02:20:41,240
Speaker 1: The Alabama running back will work out for scouts at

2307
02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:44,160
Speaker 1: the university second Pro Day today, not running the forty,

2308
02:20:44,560 --> 02:20:47,120
Speaker 1: but has been training through an ankle injury suffered late

2309
02:20:47,160 --> 02:20:50,600
Speaker 1: in the season. He will do drills if he hasn't already.

2310
02:20:50,959 --> 02:20:53,120
Speaker 1: And the Flyers had a comeback win over the Sabers

2311
02:20:53,160 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 1: four three and overtime, saying two teams. Wednesday night, puck

2312
02:20:56,600 --> 02:20:59,880
Speaker 1: drop is at seven thirty. That is your sports up

2313
02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:02,600
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you

2314
02:21:03,040 --> 02:21:05,720
Speaker 1: for the final hour of the program and joining us

2315
02:21:05,800 --> 02:21:09,040
Speaker 1: on the line right now, Monday morning quarterback columnist, the

2316
02:21:09,080 --> 02:21:12,199
Speaker 1: host of the Business of Sports podcast, author of Brand

2317
02:21:12,360 --> 02:21:15,640
Speaker 1: Sunday seven, and the executive director of the Morad Center

2318
02:21:15,920 --> 02:21:20,600
Speaker 1: at Villanova University. It is one Andrew Brandt joining us

2319
02:21:20,640 --> 02:21:22,320
Speaker 1: on the line right now. Andrew, how are you doing?

2320
02:21:22,400 --> 02:21:27,519
Speaker 1: Everybody well in your family? Yeah, doing well. I'm fully vaccinated,

2321
02:21:27,640 --> 02:21:29,800
Speaker 1: so you're not going to catch anything through the phone

2322
02:21:29,840 --> 02:21:33,960
Speaker 1: lines for me. That's great, appreciate, good to hear. We

2323
02:21:34,080 --> 02:21:39,080
Speaker 1: saw your write up recently on si dot com top

2324
02:21:39,120 --> 02:21:44,960
Speaker 1: ten storylines of the NFL New League Year, and the

2325
02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:48,920
Speaker 1: one that I think struck me the most, I would

2326
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:54,920
Speaker 1: say is you know your mirage characterization of contract reporting.

2327
02:21:55,080 --> 02:21:59,599
Speaker 1: We realize most contracts in the league are not fully guaranteed,

2328
02:22:00,120 --> 02:22:04,320
Speaker 1: and so that leaves room for interpretation. Um. I think

2329
02:22:04,400 --> 02:22:07,800
Speaker 1: you adequately spelled out why they're reported the way they are.

2330
02:22:08,280 --> 02:22:11,720
Speaker 1: But still, um, and I thought I thought you had

2331
02:22:11,720 --> 02:22:14,240
Speaker 1: a hell of an example in Kyle van Noy. In

2332
02:22:14,320 --> 02:22:18,400
Speaker 1: many ways, they are misleading. Yeah, and listen, I've been

2333
02:22:18,720 --> 02:22:21,520
Speaker 1: I've been on both sides of this, or I guess

2334
02:22:21,560 --> 02:22:27,039
Speaker 1: on all three sides of it. You know, agents make

2335
02:22:27,080 --> 02:22:30,440
Speaker 1: a deal with teams, which is basically, hey, can you

2336
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:34,039
Speaker 1: let me put out the word when the deal's done?

2337
02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:37,040
Speaker 1: And you know, being on the team side and sitting

2338
02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:39,880
Speaker 1: in that chair for ten years, I'm like, always interested

2339
02:22:39,879 --> 02:22:42,320
Speaker 1: in just getting to yes right, getting the deal done.

2340
02:22:43,160 --> 02:22:45,080
Speaker 1: So if it's going to float the boat of the

2341
02:22:45,200 --> 02:22:48,840
Speaker 1: agent to put it out right away as soon as

2342
02:22:48,879 --> 02:22:51,560
Speaker 1: we shake hands, I'm like, okay, you know, if that

2343
02:22:51,640 --> 02:22:55,280
Speaker 1: helps close the deal. And then I can't control from

2344
02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:59,040
Speaker 1: a team perspective what's out there, but you know, teams

2345
02:22:59,120 --> 02:23:02,240
Speaker 1: recognize that, and then the game is played between the

2346
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:08,200
Speaker 1: agents and media, where media is going to present the

2347
02:23:08,320 --> 02:23:12,240
Speaker 1: deal in the best possible light because the information they're

2348
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:16,360
Speaker 1: getting is not from the team and not from someone

2349
02:23:16,480 --> 02:23:19,840
Speaker 1: like me who studies these things, but it's from the

2350
02:23:19,920 --> 02:23:24,200
Speaker 1: agent whose goal is to maximize the best possible viewing

2351
02:23:24,240 --> 02:23:27,480
Speaker 1: of this contract. And I guess what I was sort

2352
02:23:27,480 --> 02:23:31,720
Speaker 1: of lamenting and now I am media sort of that

2353
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:34,880
Speaker 1: why do we do this? You know, it seems to

2354
02:23:34,959 --> 02:23:39,320
Speaker 1: be a bit disingenuous where we're putting out numbers that

2355
02:23:39,360 --> 02:23:44,040
Speaker 1: aren't real, and I guess the masses don't really care.

2356
02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:47,040
Speaker 1: But once that number gets out there, you know, whether

2357
02:23:47,120 --> 02:23:50,360
Speaker 1: it's Pat mahomes five hundred million or Joe blows fifty

2358
02:23:50,400 --> 02:23:53,879
Speaker 1: million or twenty million, it becomes kind of a moniker.

2359
02:23:55,080 --> 02:23:57,720
Speaker 1: And only when you see something like Kyle Van Noy

2360
02:23:57,959 --> 02:24:00,360
Speaker 1: get cut after one year and not have any money

2361
02:24:00,440 --> 02:24:03,880
Speaker 1: remaining on his deal. To him that you kind of

2362
02:24:04,440 --> 02:24:06,680
Speaker 1: sit up and say, yeah, I guess those deals aren't real.

2363
02:24:07,520 --> 02:24:12,840
Speaker 1: But it happens every year and it's just just something

2364
02:24:12,879 --> 02:24:14,200
Speaker 1: I had to get out. There is one of my

2365
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:17,320
Speaker 1: top ten stories so far of this busy time, which

2366
02:24:17,440 --> 02:24:20,240
Speaker 1: is like, what are we doing here with these contracts? Now?

2367
02:24:20,280 --> 02:24:22,600
Speaker 1: If they were NFL or NBA, I'm sorry, major League

2368
02:24:22,640 --> 02:24:26,960
Speaker 1: Baseball or NBA, great, that numbers real. But in the

2369
02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:32,800
Speaker 1: NFL that numbers not real? Is the salary cap reel? No?

2370
02:24:33,160 --> 02:24:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean that numbers. You know, that number can be

2371
02:24:35,879 --> 02:24:38,320
Speaker 1: played with on the on the good side for players,

2372
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, where they're pro rating and they're paying a

2373
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,240
Speaker 1: lot more cash than one hundred and eighty two million

2374
02:24:44,320 --> 02:24:47,520
Speaker 1: or one hundred ninety eight whatever it is, But it's

2375
02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:50,320
Speaker 1: not real. On the on the bad side too, where teams,

2376
02:24:50,440 --> 02:24:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean the Steelers last year with a payroll of

2377
02:24:52,920 --> 02:24:57,000
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty million dollars and you know

2378
02:24:57,360 --> 02:25:00,840
Speaker 1: that's on one hundred ninety eight cap. So yeah, it's

2379
02:25:00,840 --> 02:25:04,000
Speaker 1: not really it's not real either right now? Is there

2380
02:25:04,200 --> 02:25:06,320
Speaker 1: is there a way for ownership if that and you've

2381
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:09,640
Speaker 1: said it. Where if if a club says, yeah, that

2382
02:25:09,920 --> 02:25:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, we can't fit him under the cap, yeah,

2383
02:25:13,440 --> 02:25:15,360
Speaker 1: is that just another way of saying we don't really

2384
02:25:15,400 --> 02:25:17,560
Speaker 1: want him that badly, Because if there's a player out

2385
02:25:17,560 --> 02:25:19,920
Speaker 1: there at whatever the price, they can always find a

2386
02:25:19,959 --> 02:25:22,840
Speaker 1: way to do that. I believe that, you know. It's

2387
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:25,440
Speaker 1: almost like I give some life advice to everyone listening.

2388
02:25:25,680 --> 02:25:28,120
Speaker 1: When your friend or your partner or somebody says I'm

2389
02:25:28,160 --> 02:25:32,200
Speaker 1: too busy, They're not too busy, you know. Right there,

2390
02:25:32,520 --> 02:25:35,440
Speaker 1: They've put something else ahead of what they you want

2391
02:25:35,520 --> 02:25:39,120
Speaker 1: them to do. And that's kind of like players in

2392
02:25:39,160 --> 02:25:42,520
Speaker 1: the cap. You know, cap is an issue for players

2393
02:25:42,680 --> 02:25:46,720
Speaker 1: teams don't want. And this sort of relates Steve to

2394
02:25:46,879 --> 02:25:49,600
Speaker 1: my and why I was always, you know, hesitant about

2395
02:25:49,600 --> 02:25:52,680
Speaker 1: free agency at the Packers, as was my boss Ted Thompson,

2396
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:57,800
Speaker 1: which was basically like, why is this player on the market?

2397
02:25:59,280 --> 02:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Why has and his team wrapped him up? And that's

2398
02:26:03,840 --> 02:26:06,760
Speaker 1: always the question with free agency, you know. And we

2399
02:26:06,879 --> 02:26:09,040
Speaker 1: just talked about ben Noy. Here he goes back to

2400
02:26:09,160 --> 02:26:12,120
Speaker 1: New England where he probably should have never left. And

2401
02:26:12,600 --> 02:26:16,160
Speaker 1: these are the kind of questions Jeff to ask, so

2402
02:26:16,640 --> 02:26:19,520
Speaker 1: Andrew where We've been talking about the move that the

2403
02:26:19,640 --> 02:26:21,520
Speaker 1: Niners made up to the top of the board, and

2404
02:26:21,640 --> 02:26:25,600
Speaker 1: obviously that's for a quarterback. People are wondering about what

2405
02:26:25,720 --> 02:26:28,120
Speaker 1: that means for the fate of one Jimmy Garoppolo. Obviously

2406
02:26:28,160 --> 02:26:30,240
Speaker 1: the Niners have an easy out there in terms of

2407
02:26:30,320 --> 02:26:32,920
Speaker 1: cap hit if they move him, they're claiming they're not.

2408
02:26:34,920 --> 02:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Is there any scenario in which you believe that Garoppolo

2409
02:26:38,760 --> 02:26:42,400
Speaker 1: serves as a bridge quarterback this year to the number

2410
02:26:42,480 --> 02:26:45,800
Speaker 1: three picks starting in twenty twenty two. Well, let's first

2411
02:26:45,879 --> 02:26:48,520
Speaker 1: unpack that because I'm you know, people always asking about

2412
02:26:48,520 --> 02:26:50,640
Speaker 1: the cap and dead money, and I was so vocal

2413
02:26:50,680 --> 02:26:54,760
Speaker 1: about Wentz. Kudos to the forty nine ers because my

2414
02:26:55,360 --> 02:26:57,160
Speaker 1: belief the best way to manage a cap is to

2415
02:26:57,280 --> 02:27:02,120
Speaker 1: front load cap, not backload. And Garoppolo's first year cap

2416
02:27:02,320 --> 02:27:04,480
Speaker 1: number on the huge contract was thirty seven and a

2417
02:27:04,520 --> 02:27:08,560
Speaker 1: half million dollars instead of what teams usually do, which

2418
02:27:08,640 --> 02:27:10,680
Speaker 1: is bonus out the first year, keep it as small

2419
02:27:10,680 --> 02:27:13,400
Speaker 1: as possible, and then you have these bloated costs later

2420
02:27:13,440 --> 02:27:15,720
Speaker 1: in the contract. So good on the forty nine ers

2421
02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:17,880
Speaker 1: because if they want to get out, they can easily

2422
02:27:17,959 --> 02:27:20,720
Speaker 1: get out with a dead money charge of two million

2423
02:27:20,720 --> 02:27:23,520
Speaker 1: dollars compared to Goffin Wentz twenty two and thirty four.

2424
02:27:24,720 --> 02:27:28,000
Speaker 1: So in terms of what they'll do, I think you

2425
02:27:28,120 --> 02:27:30,600
Speaker 1: said it. We don't. You know, it's obvious you trade

2426
02:27:30,680 --> 02:27:33,760
Speaker 1: up all those assets, you're taking a quarterback. If you don't,

2427
02:27:33,840 --> 02:27:36,520
Speaker 1: if you take a d line or a receiver, it's

2428
02:27:36,520 --> 02:27:39,600
Speaker 1: already a wasted trade, you know, because quarterbacks the position

2429
02:27:40,280 --> 02:27:43,720
Speaker 1: the only position worth all those assets. So whoever they

2430
02:27:43,840 --> 02:27:47,320
Speaker 1: take is their future. So Garoppolo is not their future.

2431
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:49,440
Speaker 1: The question you bring up is is he the present?

2432
02:27:50,920 --> 02:27:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't believe he will be there definitely,

2433
02:27:54,560 --> 02:27:59,440
Speaker 1: but I think it's it's all opportunity, right. If they

2434
02:27:59,520 --> 02:28:04,560
Speaker 1: don't get squat in a trade offer for Garoppolo, I

2435
02:28:04,680 --> 02:28:07,520
Speaker 1: guess they'll keep them. I mean, I don't think they'll

2436
02:28:07,560 --> 02:28:11,520
Speaker 1: cut them now if they get something worthwhile, who knows

2437
02:28:11,560 --> 02:28:14,120
Speaker 1: what that is? Second round pick, maybe third round pick,

2438
02:28:14,400 --> 02:28:17,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I would think they'd move them, right,

2439
02:28:18,440 --> 02:28:20,640
Speaker 1: would be you know, when would be the moment to

2440
02:28:20,720 --> 02:28:26,560
Speaker 1: do that at the draft? You know? And yeah, you know,

2441
02:28:26,680 --> 02:28:28,880
Speaker 1: now it's gonna be hard to think of teams because

2442
02:28:28,920 --> 02:28:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't think New England's going there again, and then

2443
02:28:32,520 --> 02:28:35,039
Speaker 1: it comes down to, you know, does he have a market,

2444
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:37,960
Speaker 1: So then if he doesn't have a market, he's probably

2445
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:42,280
Speaker 1: there with a pickup. Yeah. Taking it a step further,

2446
02:28:43,040 --> 02:28:45,160
Speaker 1: there's been talk up here, as you can imagine, about

2447
02:28:45,160 --> 02:28:48,640
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen contract extension already and what that might

2448
02:28:48,760 --> 02:28:52,280
Speaker 1: look like. Knowing that your previous comment just applauded the

2449
02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Niners for frontloading the one for Jimmy g Is it

2450
02:28:56,280 --> 02:29:01,000
Speaker 1: different in the Josh Allen situation or you see something

2451
02:29:01,440 --> 02:29:04,240
Speaker 1: that's more in line with a Pat Mahomes contract or

2452
02:29:04,320 --> 02:29:09,720
Speaker 1: maybe more reminiscent of a Deshaun Watson type contract. Yeah,

2453
02:29:09,879 --> 02:29:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're right. The set the stage

2454
02:29:13,440 --> 02:29:15,880
Speaker 1: they I mean, they have said and they will start

2455
02:29:15,959 --> 02:29:18,920
Speaker 1: negotiating at some point. You know, we've reached a three

2456
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:22,359
Speaker 1: year window for this class, whether it's Mayfield or Darnald

2457
02:29:22,560 --> 02:29:27,960
Speaker 1: or Josh or Lamar Jackson. So we'll see. It's a

2458
02:29:28,040 --> 02:29:30,480
Speaker 1: tough market to read right now because as an expert

2459
02:29:30,520 --> 02:29:33,080
Speaker 1: in this field, it's all over the place. You know,

2460
02:29:33,240 --> 02:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes did this crazy twelve year deal which Watson and

2461
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Prescott since have had zero interest in doing. From the

2462
02:29:42,480 --> 02:29:44,600
Speaker 1: player side, I'm sure the teams would have liked it,

2463
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:47,200
Speaker 1: but they don't want to lock in for their whole

2464
02:29:47,280 --> 02:29:49,640
Speaker 1: career and not have an opportunity to hit free agency again.

2465
02:29:50,600 --> 02:29:53,240
Speaker 1: So I would think Allan would want the shorter term,

2466
02:29:53,600 --> 02:29:57,279
Speaker 1: the three or four year extension, like Prescott or Watson.

2467
02:30:00,160 --> 02:30:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not going to be the Prescott level

2468
02:30:02,640 --> 02:30:06,520
Speaker 1: because Prescott was negotiating off the franchise tag of thirty million.

2469
02:30:07,520 --> 02:30:10,400
Speaker 1: Alan's gonna be negotiating off a salary of whatever three

2470
02:30:10,480 --> 02:30:14,360
Speaker 1: million dollars this year. So yeah, I think it's you

2471
02:30:14,480 --> 02:30:16,560
Speaker 1: had to look at a deal to be a model,

2472
02:30:16,680 --> 02:30:20,320
Speaker 1: it would be the Watson deal because that's the freshest

2473
02:30:20,440 --> 02:30:23,640
Speaker 1: one in that category. Do you think he gets in

2474
02:30:23,760 --> 02:30:27,279
Speaker 1: the area of forty plus million a year though average

2475
02:30:27,280 --> 02:30:30,080
Speaker 1: annual value or no? No, I don't think he can

2476
02:30:30,160 --> 02:30:32,520
Speaker 1: get there because of his starting point, you know, with

2477
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Prescott skewed because when you're starting off a franchise tag,

2478
02:30:36,800 --> 02:30:40,800
Speaker 1: that's a huge advantage. You know, that's twenty eight million

2479
02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:45,879
Speaker 1: dollars difference right away. So I don't think we'll get

2480
02:30:45,879 --> 02:30:47,840
Speaker 1: to that number. I think Prescott's going to hold that

2481
02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:52,440
Speaker 1: that title for a while. Actually, And all these quarterback

2482
02:30:52,520 --> 02:30:55,040
Speaker 1: deals with these guys being getting a lion's share of

2483
02:30:55,080 --> 02:30:57,200
Speaker 1: the percentage of the cap, well, whoever they are. If

2484
02:30:57,200 --> 02:30:59,000
Speaker 1: you got a franchise, guy's going to be the top

2485
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:03,280
Speaker 1: guy paid on your roster. How fast or what will

2486
02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:06,320
Speaker 1: it look like? Even with the new television deals. We

2487
02:31:06,360 --> 02:31:08,080
Speaker 1: can get to those deals in a minute, But how

2488
02:31:08,120 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 1: fast will the cap bounce back? And what will that

2489
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:14,160
Speaker 1: look like? And what years will it happen in. It's

2490
02:31:14,160 --> 02:31:17,920
Speaker 1: always been fool's goal to predict cap spikes throughout my career.

2491
02:31:18,280 --> 02:31:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, when the player side says, well, we'll be

2492
02:31:20,560 --> 02:31:24,800
Speaker 1: good in two years, it never happens. So it's not

2493
02:31:25,040 --> 02:31:27,879
Speaker 1: as simple as the TV deals are going to come

2494
02:31:27,920 --> 02:31:31,840
Speaker 1: in and the CAP's gonna spike. I don't have that, Steve.

2495
02:31:31,920 --> 02:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the secret sauce I think, but I

2496
02:31:34,959 --> 02:31:39,560
Speaker 1: know that we're down eighteen million or sixteen million. In

2497
02:31:39,680 --> 02:31:42,600
Speaker 1: other words, we're down about twenty eight million because the

2498
02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:45,440
Speaker 1: cap has been rising twelve million the last few years.

2499
02:31:46,400 --> 02:31:51,199
Speaker 1: So just think about that. It'll be three years, probably

2500
02:31:51,640 --> 02:31:58,160
Speaker 1: it'll be twenty twenty four before we're over where we're

2501
02:31:58,200 --> 02:32:02,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be this year. Think about that, because if

2502
02:32:02,600 --> 02:32:06,760
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be at two ten and now what

2503
02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:11,680
Speaker 1: do we like worth twenty eight away from that, so

2504
02:32:11,879 --> 02:32:15,080
Speaker 1: that'll be at least two years, I think, So it's

2505
02:32:15,720 --> 02:32:18,039
Speaker 1: hard to do that. Having said all that, I get

2506
02:32:18,080 --> 02:32:20,680
Speaker 1: back to where we started. You can make a deal

2507
02:32:20,760 --> 02:32:24,080
Speaker 1: for Llen and not worry about all that. Yeah, it's

2508
02:32:24,160 --> 02:32:27,760
Speaker 1: just functioning the rest of your team. This kind of

2509
02:32:27,800 --> 02:32:31,240
Speaker 1: goes off the page a little bit here, Andrew, but

2510
02:32:31,280 --> 02:32:32,480
Speaker 1: I know you kind of keep your ear to the

2511
02:32:32,560 --> 02:32:34,440
Speaker 1: ground on a lot of this stuff. I don't know

2512
02:32:34,560 --> 02:32:37,200
Speaker 1: if you noticed, but Real Madrid, one of the most

2513
02:32:37,240 --> 02:32:43,360
Speaker 1: popular European soccer clubs, is building a casino inside their stadium,

2514
02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:47,560
Speaker 1: which has been met with some measure of consternation from

2515
02:32:47,600 --> 02:32:50,960
Speaker 1: some other clubs. They almost think that's too close to

2516
02:32:51,080 --> 02:32:53,800
Speaker 1: the actual on field product. And we know the NFL

2517
02:32:54,360 --> 02:32:57,720
Speaker 1: prohibits in stadium betting areas, although now they're talking about

2518
02:32:58,200 --> 02:33:03,480
Speaker 1: maybe doing gambling lounges that showcase mobile betting options. How

2519
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:08,800
Speaker 1: far away are we from these hardcore type discussions where

2520
02:33:09,360 --> 02:33:13,480
Speaker 1: gambling during the games creeps ever closer to the NFL?

2521
02:33:15,720 --> 02:33:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I was on a lot

2522
02:33:19,040 --> 02:33:21,000
Speaker 1: with you guys a year ago with these CBA I

2523
02:33:21,080 --> 02:33:23,080
Speaker 1: thought it was you know, didn't give it, get enough

2524
02:33:23,120 --> 02:33:26,640
Speaker 1: for giving up the seventeenth game, and the gambling revenues

2525
02:33:26,640 --> 02:33:29,320
Speaker 1: I thought were not strong enough either for the player's side,

2526
02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:31,400
Speaker 1: because I think it's just going to take off. I mean,

2527
02:33:31,520 --> 02:33:35,480
Speaker 1: it's We're not far from that, you know. And I

2528
02:33:35,640 --> 02:33:39,400
Speaker 1: know like Meadowlands has it not in MetLife Stadium, but

2529
02:33:39,560 --> 02:33:44,840
Speaker 1: like Stones Throwaway, Washington Wizards and Capitals Hockey now has

2530
02:33:44,879 --> 02:33:48,360
Speaker 1: it in the arena. This is the way of the future.

2531
02:33:48,879 --> 02:33:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, whether the NFL and Goodell can control this.

2532
02:33:51,879 --> 02:33:53,400
Speaker 1: If I'm an owner, I'm not going to let them

2533
02:33:53,440 --> 02:33:55,800
Speaker 1: control it. If NBA owners are doing it and soccer

2534
02:33:55,879 --> 02:33:58,480
Speaker 1: owners are doing it, why not. And that gives you

2535
02:33:58,520 --> 02:34:01,080
Speaker 1: a revenue stream for the non game days, which is

2536
02:34:01,160 --> 02:34:03,640
Speaker 1: so important in football more than any other sport because

2537
02:34:03,640 --> 02:34:06,680
Speaker 1: there's so few game days. Imagine if you had a

2538
02:34:06,760 --> 02:34:09,840
Speaker 1: casino in a stadium, now you have traffic all year long.

2539
02:34:11,240 --> 02:34:15,040
Speaker 1: So I just think this is an incredible opportunity for ownership.

2540
02:34:15,360 --> 02:34:19,520
Speaker 1: The TV deals just obviously raise the bar for franchise

2541
02:34:19,640 --> 02:34:24,040
Speaker 1: values and this is only increasing that we've also today

2542
02:34:24,080 --> 02:34:25,879
Speaker 1: and you can maybe you perhaps you can give us

2543
02:34:25,920 --> 02:34:29,480
Speaker 1: some insight as to the mechanisms that take place when

2544
02:34:29,520 --> 02:34:31,680
Speaker 1: a stadium. We just had a press conference today that

2545
02:34:32,440 --> 02:34:34,560
Speaker 1: the stadium here one Bill's Drive is going to be

2546
02:34:34,720 --> 02:34:39,320
Speaker 1: named high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield Stadium going forward,

2547
02:34:39,320 --> 02:34:41,000
Speaker 1: So it's going to be high Mark Stadium. How do

2548
02:34:41,080 --> 02:34:43,560
Speaker 1: those you know, you get a corporate partner like that,

2549
02:34:43,840 --> 02:34:46,560
Speaker 1: What does that mean to the stability of the franchise?

2550
02:34:46,680 --> 02:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I know it seems to the casual observer that just

2551
02:34:50,320 --> 02:34:51,880
Speaker 1: kind of goes right to the bottom line of the

2552
02:34:51,920 --> 02:34:57,160
Speaker 1: frant You're just renting for signage, right yeah, and back

2553
02:34:57,200 --> 02:35:00,920
Speaker 1: to the CBA. That's not part of the players sharing.

2554
02:35:03,959 --> 02:35:07,000
Speaker 1: Naming rights is not part of players sharing. In other words,

2555
02:35:07,080 --> 02:35:10,200
Speaker 1: that's not part of the cap. So yeah, it's just

2556
02:35:10,360 --> 02:35:15,520
Speaker 1: another heavy wallet item for the owners. And that's great.

2557
02:35:15,560 --> 02:35:18,760
Speaker 1: They got the signage and all that. And you know,

2558
02:35:18,879 --> 02:35:22,160
Speaker 1: these are deals that give great exposure because what the

2559
02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:25,360
Speaker 1: NFL does, and then it just becomes a marketplace deal

2560
02:35:25,440 --> 02:35:27,160
Speaker 1: like what did this team guide? Or how much are

2561
02:35:27,160 --> 02:35:30,400
Speaker 1: the Metlife's the biggest deal of all time? Because MetLife

2562
02:35:30,520 --> 02:35:33,280
Speaker 1: is two teams and in New York. But then you

2563
02:35:33,400 --> 02:35:35,440
Speaker 1: go down from there see all these deals out there.

2564
02:35:37,120 --> 02:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Your colleague at SI dot Com, Jenny Frentis, had a

2565
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:43,040
Speaker 1: pretty eye opening story with regard to the Deshaun Watson

2566
02:35:43,160 --> 02:35:48,480
Speaker 1: legal troubles, with what looks like a firsthand account of

2567
02:35:48,680 --> 02:35:50,480
Speaker 1: some of what may have gone on with the other

2568
02:35:50,560 --> 02:35:55,679
Speaker 1: people that have accused Deshaun Watson of inappropriate behavior sexual misconduct.

2569
02:35:57,520 --> 02:36:02,320
Speaker 1: Can we see a scenario, knowing past precedent with people

2570
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:05,880
Speaker 1: like Ray Rice and others, where Deshaun Watson maybe doesn't

2571
02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:08,480
Speaker 1: even see the field this year. I know these are

2572
02:36:08,560 --> 02:36:13,480
Speaker 1: civil not criminal yet, right, Andrew, So where does this go?

2573
02:36:14,120 --> 02:36:15,680
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't look like it's going to have a

2574
02:36:15,720 --> 02:36:19,480
Speaker 1: good ending for Deshaun. It doesn't. And listen, it's just amazing, right, guys,

2575
02:36:19,600 --> 02:36:24,000
Speaker 1: like a month ago, where's he going? How many draft

2576
02:36:24,040 --> 02:36:25,920
Speaker 1: picks or teams are gonna give up? How many starters

2577
02:36:25,959 --> 02:36:28,480
Speaker 1: are teams are going to give up? You know? If

2578
02:36:28,560 --> 02:36:30,760
Speaker 1: if they got this for Stafford, how much can they

2579
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:34,560
Speaker 1: get for Watson. It's just amazing. Now, the last thing

2580
02:36:34,760 --> 02:36:38,760
Speaker 1: on the discussion about Deshaun Watson is trade. No team's

2581
02:36:38,800 --> 02:36:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna trade for him anytime soon, if this year at all.

2582
02:36:43,680 --> 02:36:46,320
Speaker 1: And then it comes down to what's going to happen. Listen,

2583
02:36:46,959 --> 02:36:50,280
Speaker 1: here's what I wrote. I don't know the civil law

2584
02:36:50,440 --> 02:36:54,879
Speaker 1: about sexual assault I do know that these lawyers are

2585
02:36:54,959 --> 02:36:58,640
Speaker 1: spin doctors. They're going to be very bombastic. What my

2586
02:36:58,879 --> 02:37:02,760
Speaker 1: focus on is the law of Goodell, and the precedent

2587
02:37:02,959 --> 02:37:09,360
Speaker 1: is not good for Watson. Going back eleven years, Ben

2588
02:37:09,480 --> 02:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger was suspended six games for conduct in a bathroom

2589
02:37:14,320 --> 02:37:22,840
Speaker 1: that never drew criminal charges. One incident Ezekiel Elliott one

2590
02:37:22,959 --> 02:37:29,480
Speaker 1: or two incidents that never drew criminal charges six games.

2591
02:37:30,720 --> 02:37:34,840
Speaker 1: So there is some bad precedent for Watson. Even if

2592
02:37:34,879 --> 02:37:37,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing criminal. People are saying, well, there's nothing criminal,

2593
02:37:37,520 --> 02:37:42,240
Speaker 1: it's just civil. I'm like, okay, so what He's not

2594
02:37:42,280 --> 02:37:46,520
Speaker 1: going to go to jail. We understand that. But unless

2595
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:50,680
Speaker 1: Houston PD gets involved, I don't know. But this is troubling,

2596
02:37:50,959 --> 02:37:52,920
Speaker 1: you know again, I don't want to be those you know,

2597
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:56,000
Speaker 1: people speculating on the facts, who's right and who's wrong,

2598
02:37:56,080 --> 02:37:59,600
Speaker 1: et cetera. Just seems like a mountain of evidence against

2599
02:37:59,640 --> 02:38:02,720
Speaker 1: this guy. One other thing that happened at the at

2600
02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:05,240
Speaker 1: the highest levels of the league was that the Washington

2601
02:38:05,320 --> 02:38:09,600
Speaker 1: football team had its minority owners sell out to Dan Snyder,

2602
02:38:09,800 --> 02:38:13,120
Speaker 1: the majority owner of the Washington football team. And for

2603
02:38:13,360 --> 02:38:16,720
Speaker 1: all the you know, the barbs that and the criticism

2604
02:38:16,840 --> 02:38:21,120
Speaker 1: that that franchise has endured, a lot of which has

2605
02:38:21,160 --> 02:38:23,680
Speaker 1: been blamed on the owner, Dan Schneider. What does it

2606
02:38:23,840 --> 02:38:26,360
Speaker 1: say about and you just mentioned it. You know, the

2607
02:38:26,640 --> 02:38:32,279
Speaker 1: value of these franchises is going up. Is Dan Schneider

2608
02:38:32,400 --> 02:38:35,840
Speaker 1: just betting on that? And plus the fact that he's

2609
02:38:36,120 --> 02:38:40,480
Speaker 1: whatever relationship has soured with his co owners. Yeah, and

2610
02:38:40,600 --> 02:38:43,440
Speaker 1: they wanted out for reasons that are kind of hidden

2611
02:38:43,560 --> 02:38:47,400
Speaker 1: in the court pleadings, but primarily because of him. So

2612
02:38:47,600 --> 02:38:50,280
Speaker 1: now they're getting out and they're being bought out by him.

2613
02:38:51,320 --> 02:38:54,680
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm I'm a washingtony and I grew up

2614
02:38:54,760 --> 02:38:57,520
Speaker 1: diehard fan of this team. But all my family and

2615
02:38:57,600 --> 02:39:03,200
Speaker 1: friends they don't like him as the owner. I told

2616
02:39:03,240 --> 02:39:06,960
Speaker 1: him this week. Okay, yeah, I'm sorry. You're not getting

2617
02:39:07,040 --> 02:39:10,160
Speaker 1: less of him, You're getting more of them now. He

2618
02:39:10,360 --> 02:39:13,440
Speaker 1: has hired some good people, Jason Wright on the business side,

2619
02:39:13,520 --> 02:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera on the football side. They had a you know,

2620
02:39:17,280 --> 02:39:20,560
Speaker 1: playoff front last year. We'll see that seems to be

2621
02:39:20,640 --> 02:39:22,760
Speaker 1: going well. So that can hide a lot of things.

2622
02:39:22,920 --> 02:39:26,440
Speaker 1: But this is a team with civil lawsuits against them

2623
02:39:26,879 --> 02:39:32,280
Speaker 1: for hostile work environment, cheerleaders being groped on excursions. So

2624
02:39:33,000 --> 02:39:38,760
Speaker 1: he's in the name's gone, but he's staying right. Andrew

2625

2634
02:40:06,480 --> 02:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Brandt Proms dot com. Also the headman at the

2635
02:40:11,120 --> 02:40:15,360
Speaker 1: Moread Sports Law Center at Villanova And uh, I mean

2636
02:40:15,440 --> 02:40:19,199
Speaker 1: it just it was just reported today this European soccer

2637
02:40:19,280 --> 02:40:22,440
Speaker 1: team Real Madrid. They're one of the most popular European teams.

2638
02:40:22,680 --> 02:40:25,879
Speaker 1: They have like almost five hundred million fans worldwide, um,

2639
02:40:26,720 --> 02:40:30,560
Speaker 1: like registered fans. It's crazy. They're building a casino in

2640
02:40:30,680 --> 02:40:33,800
Speaker 1: the stadium. Steve. It's not going to be ready until

2641
02:40:33,840 --> 02:40:37,959
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But much like we saw Robert Kraft

2642
02:40:38,640 --> 02:40:42,560
Speaker 1: build like patriot Ville with those mall that it was

2643
02:40:42,680 --> 02:40:46,119
Speaker 1: essentially like a mall around the stadium one Patriot Place

2644
02:40:46,200 --> 02:40:50,200
Speaker 1: they called it, made it a full service center, so

2645
02:40:50,320 --> 02:40:53,240
Speaker 1: it was a destination year round, not just for home

2646
02:40:53,720 --> 02:40:57,520
Speaker 1: football game, destail, restaurants, everything. So this soccer team is

2647
02:40:57,600 --> 02:41:01,600
Speaker 1: building a casino into its renovated stadium, along with a restaurant,

2648
02:41:01,680 --> 02:41:05,000
Speaker 1: a museum, and event space. They're making it a destination also.

2649
02:41:05,080 --> 02:41:08,800
Speaker 1: But it's got gambling, and gambling is a lot more

2650
02:41:10,320 --> 02:41:13,760
Speaker 1: developed around professional sports in Europe. You can bet on

2651
02:41:14,200 --> 02:41:19,360
Speaker 1: anything during the game. But you heard Andrews say it's coming.

2652
02:41:20,360 --> 02:41:24,320
Speaker 1: It's coming. It's too big a revenue stream for these

2653
02:41:24,360 --> 02:41:28,480
Speaker 1: owners to turn away. That's right, and I think it's

2654
02:41:28,520 --> 02:41:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna It'll be interesting to see which direction it goes

2655
02:41:30,959 --> 02:41:34,040
Speaker 1: in the United States because it doesn't always follow suit

2656
02:41:34,240 --> 02:41:37,520
Speaker 1: with what has already happened around the world. Sometimes, um

2657
02:41:37,800 --> 02:41:42,120
Speaker 1: here in the US we do things differently for whatever reason.

2658
02:41:42,800 --> 02:41:46,959
Speaker 1: And you know, over there, they obviously have a relationship

2659
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:49,200
Speaker 1: and it works for them. There are some teams whose

2660
02:41:49,280 --> 02:41:53,440
Speaker 1: main sponsor is some online betting service, right, So that

2661
02:41:53,800 --> 02:41:59,720
Speaker 1: seems odd now for sounds counterintuitive, right, But it may

2662
02:41:59,800 --> 02:42:02,400
Speaker 1: be okay, and I'm sure it's okay over there, and

2663
02:42:02,879 --> 02:42:04,480
Speaker 1: but we may never get to that point. You know,

2664
02:42:04,600 --> 02:42:08,840
Speaker 1: they may always some version of it, right, there's gonna

2665
02:42:08,840 --> 02:42:11,400
Speaker 1: be someplace where they were at some level. You think

2666
02:42:11,440 --> 02:42:13,400
Speaker 1: the NFL is gonna get comfortable with it, and the

2667
02:42:13,560 --> 02:42:16,080
Speaker 1: NBA is gonna get comfortable with it, NHL is gonna

2668
02:42:16,080 --> 02:42:18,760
Speaker 1: get comfortable with it, Major League Baseball will get comfortable

2669
02:42:18,800 --> 02:42:21,920
Speaker 1: with it, and it'll be more and more a part

2670
02:42:21,959 --> 02:42:27,400
Speaker 1: of it. But having a casino in the state were

2671
02:42:27,720 --> 02:42:29,720
Speaker 1: I just put it this way. I can't see that

2672
02:42:29,840 --> 02:42:32,760
Speaker 1: in our lifetime the best part of the But things

2673
02:42:32,760 --> 02:42:35,840
Speaker 1: have changed fast. Here's the opening line in the story,

2674
02:42:36,120 --> 02:42:40,119
Speaker 1: which was reported by Front Office Sports. Come for the game,

2675
02:42:40,720 --> 02:42:46,160
Speaker 1: stay for the gambling, or maybe vice versa. Yeah, this

2676
02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:51,800
Speaker 1: just crossed. The seventeenth regular season game has been approved shocker.

2677
02:42:52,200 --> 02:42:58,000
Speaker 1: So there it is. There will be seventeen regular season games.

2678
02:42:58,600 --> 02:43:04,240
Speaker 1: It is now official. The owners approved it just moments ago.

2679
02:43:04,879 --> 02:43:07,240
Speaker 1: So starting in twenty twenty one, we will have the

2680
02:43:07,320 --> 02:43:12,360
Speaker 1: seventeenth game and provided that the reported formatting holds the bill,

2681
02:43:12,520 --> 02:43:16,160
Speaker 1: seventeenth game will be a home game against the Washington

2682
02:43:16,720 --> 02:43:20,640
Speaker 1: football team. There you go, and the return a ninth

2683
02:43:20,800 --> 02:43:28,879
Speaker 1: home game fits tragic hopefully. Um yes, that's ninth home

2684
02:43:28,959 --> 02:43:33,960
Speaker 1: game the regular season home game, probably get one preseason game,

2685
02:43:35,200 --> 02:43:37,880
Speaker 1: two away games, I think, I think, I don't know,

2686
02:43:38,120 --> 02:43:40,920
Speaker 1: will we It'll probably mean two away preseason games. That

2687
02:43:40,959 --> 02:43:43,920
Speaker 1: would probably be the way it gets played. Yeah, I would.

2688
02:43:43,959 --> 02:43:46,160
Speaker 1: I would, because it's only three preseason one at home,

2689
02:43:46,200 --> 02:43:48,960
Speaker 1: two on the road. And I would imagine there's going

2690
02:43:49,000 --> 02:43:52,240
Speaker 1: to be some other issues with the schedule that we

2691
02:43:52,360 --> 02:43:54,480
Speaker 1: don't know about. Like the three preseason games gives you

2692
02:43:54,560 --> 02:43:57,480
Speaker 1: a lot more flexibility of when they're gonna be played,

2693
02:43:57,600 --> 02:43:59,480
Speaker 1: So it could be. And you know how all these

2694
02:43:59,560 --> 02:44:04,600
Speaker 1: teams they started all playing on that Thursday before Labor

2695
02:44:04,720 --> 02:44:07,800
Speaker 1: Day weekend because the season started the weekend after Labor Day,

2696
02:44:08,160 --> 02:44:11,280
Speaker 1: So everybody played their last preseason game on that Thursday

2697
02:44:11,320 --> 02:44:15,320
Speaker 1: before the regular season finale, before Labor Day. So you

2698
02:44:15,400 --> 02:44:17,959
Speaker 1: have a long weekend before you start the regular routine

2699
02:44:17,959 --> 02:44:19,480
Speaker 1: of a Monday through Wonder if they give him a

2700
02:44:19,520 --> 02:44:22,520
Speaker 1: full bye week, right, That's exactly what I was gonna say.

2701
02:44:22,520 --> 02:44:25,600
Speaker 1: They may skip that Labor Day weekend altogether. The task

2702
02:44:25,920 --> 02:44:29,640
Speaker 1: like a precurtask taster point and coming down the plank,

2703
02:44:29,879 --> 02:44:32,600
Speaker 1: play all three of their preseason games in the last

2704
02:44:32,720 --> 02:44:37,160
Speaker 1: in the mid August, right late mid to late August,

2705
02:44:37,200 --> 02:44:39,240
Speaker 1: and take that two week break right before the first

2706
02:44:39,320 --> 02:44:44,080
Speaker 1: opening game. Yeah right, so you get your final roster spots,

2707
02:44:44,080 --> 02:44:46,760
Speaker 1: so you get your roster all shaken down, get the

2708
02:44:46,840 --> 02:44:51,879
Speaker 1: final cut in after that third preseason game, and then

2709
02:44:51,920 --> 02:44:54,400
Speaker 1: you have like two weeks of your roster of getting

2710
02:44:54,440 --> 02:44:56,280
Speaker 1: it all settled in and then you you know, pull

2711
02:44:56,360 --> 02:44:59,600
Speaker 1: in some practice, put your practice squad together, have them

2712
02:44:59,760 --> 02:45:03,680
Speaker 1: in place fully with some reps under their belt, and

2713
02:45:03,760 --> 02:45:05,480
Speaker 1: with a couple of days under their own, maybe even

2714
02:45:05,520 --> 02:45:07,480
Speaker 1: a week under their belt before you need them to

2715
02:45:07,600 --> 02:45:09,160
Speaker 1: be their scout team and go out and give you

2716
02:45:09,240 --> 02:45:12,200
Speaker 1: looks for your upcoming opponent. All that stuff gets all

2717
02:45:13,120 --> 02:45:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, all that dust gets settled before you actually

2718
02:45:15,360 --> 02:45:17,280
Speaker 1: have to get ready for a game. That's I think,

2719
02:45:17,320 --> 02:45:20,240
Speaker 1: Oh I can feel it. Break time for us. When

2720
02:45:20,320 --> 02:45:24,080
Speaker 1: we come back, we will get Lewis Riddick's opinion on

2721
02:45:24,360 --> 02:45:28,600
Speaker 1: Justin Fields pro Day today. He just tweeted about it.

2722
02:45:28,680 --> 02:45:30,880
Speaker 1: We'll bring that to you when we return here on

2723
02:45:30,959 --> 02:45:33,280
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Collid to Health. This says

2724
02:45:33,280 --> 02:45:47,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. We'll go back to One Bills Live.

2725
02:45:47,600 --> 02:45:50,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, final half hour of the program here,

2726
02:45:51,240 --> 02:45:55,000
Speaker 1: and we were talking about a Lewis Riddick comment on

2727
02:45:55,280 --> 02:45:59,120
Speaker 1: Justin Fields pro day at Ohio State. Lewis Riddick obviously

2728
02:46:00,160 --> 02:46:05,160
Speaker 1: former NFL player, former NFL front office man, and current

2729
02:46:05,840 --> 02:46:09,600
Speaker 1: ESPN NFL analyst, and he tweeted this. He said, in

2730
02:46:09,680 --> 02:46:13,440
Speaker 1: the context of what pro days are and what they aren't,

2731
02:46:13,959 --> 02:46:17,960
Speaker 1: just In Fields was fire today. Even more importantly, what

2732
02:46:18,040 --> 02:46:20,240
Speaker 1: I loved most was what his coaches said about Justin

2733
02:46:20,320 --> 02:46:22,240
Speaker 1: and where he is at in his development. With a

2734
02:46:22,280 --> 02:46:25,000
Speaker 1: good NFL staff, he is going to be a star,

2735
02:46:25,280 --> 02:46:31,520
Speaker 1: super impressive young man. Now you expect his coaching staff

2736
02:46:31,600 --> 02:46:36,000
Speaker 1: to say good things about him anyway, that's automatic. The

2737
02:46:36,520 --> 02:46:41,200
Speaker 1: key there is reading between the lines in terms of

2738
02:46:41,320 --> 02:46:44,600
Speaker 1: what they think about him. He actually stumbled there coming

2739
02:46:44,640 --> 02:46:50,080
Speaker 1: out of the coming out of his runners stance right there,

2740
02:46:50,120 --> 02:46:53,200
Speaker 1: a little bit misstep and still ran a four to

2741
02:46:53,280 --> 02:46:58,320
Speaker 1: four to four. It was barely it was barely discernible

2742
02:46:58,400 --> 02:47:05,600
Speaker 1: and slow motion even so, yeah that if you look

2743
02:47:05,680 --> 02:47:09,840
Speaker 1: like that without a shirt, you might not even own one. Well,

2744
02:47:11,360 --> 02:47:14,680
Speaker 1: you just get the little our OBL logo right here.

2745
02:47:14,720 --> 02:47:18,480
Speaker 1: Tattooeds just come to work without a shirt. Speaking of tattoos, Steve,

2746
02:47:20,080 --> 02:47:22,920
Speaker 1: one of our listeners, after hearing us talk about the

2747
02:47:23,600 --> 02:47:31,880
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians tattoo. Okay has asked, I gotta find it now. Hey,

2748
02:47:32,120 --> 02:47:34,600
Speaker 1: this is from Kurt. He says, Hey, Brownie and Steve,

2749
02:47:35,400 --> 02:47:38,160
Speaker 1: if the Bills win the Super Bowl, would you guys

2750
02:47:38,240 --> 02:47:44,720
Speaker 1: get tattooed like coach Arians? And if so where? Uh? No,

2751
02:47:45,240 --> 02:47:51,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't the euphoria of the first ever Bill super

2752
02:47:51,080 --> 02:47:54,400
Speaker 1: Bowl title, and you wouldn't get the ink to commemorate it.

2753
02:47:55,840 --> 02:47:59,440
Speaker 1: I have zero tattoos on me right now. I'm not, Yeah,

2754
02:47:59,440 --> 02:48:02,520
Speaker 1: because I know if I was a player, you might

2755
02:48:02,600 --> 02:48:05,280
Speaker 1: have a chance into it. You're John Feliciano. He would

2756
02:48:05,320 --> 02:48:07,080
Speaker 1: do it in three seconds. He'd have it done before

2757
02:48:07,080 --> 02:48:09,640
Speaker 1: he got out of lockers, right. But you know, although

2758
02:48:09,680 --> 02:48:12,200
Speaker 1: he might not have much real estate left, he's got

2759
02:48:12,240 --> 02:48:14,880
Speaker 1: a lot of ink. So you know, I would say

2760
02:48:15,120 --> 02:48:18,160
Speaker 1: no if I was a player, or if I did

2761
02:48:18,240 --> 02:48:20,200
Speaker 1: something that game, was MVP of that game, and he

2762
02:48:20,280 --> 02:48:22,720
Speaker 1: got a chance there. Yeah, you know, I don't. I

2763
02:48:22,800 --> 02:48:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I have a compelling feeling to get one,

2764
02:48:28,120 --> 02:48:30,959
Speaker 1: even for something as as monumental as that. I think

2765
02:48:30,959 --> 02:48:34,320
Speaker 1: I would. I would have him a mento of some

2766
02:48:34,480 --> 02:48:41,280
Speaker 1: other kind than putting ink on my body. Yeah, that's yeah,

2767
02:48:43,080 --> 02:48:45,040
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, I have a I don't. I'm not

2768
02:48:45,120 --> 02:48:47,480
Speaker 1: a tad guy. I'm not. I don't have a good guests.

2769
02:48:47,520 --> 02:48:49,240
Speaker 1: And I mean my my, you know, my kids all

2770
02:48:49,280 --> 02:48:51,400
Speaker 1: have there. Did you ever come close at any point

2771
02:48:51,440 --> 02:48:53,960
Speaker 1: in your life to getting one? Not really, No, never

2772
02:48:54,080 --> 02:48:58,280
Speaker 1: even gave it a second thought. No, yeah, I've never really.

2773
02:48:58,360 --> 02:49:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think what I was at teenager, I

2774
02:49:00,879 --> 02:49:04,760
Speaker 1: thought about it not very long though. Yeah, I mean

2775
02:49:04,800 --> 02:49:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have any problem with him.

2776
02:49:06,800 --> 02:49:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're your thing, a awesome, that's great.

2777
02:49:08,879 --> 02:49:11,080
Speaker 1: But my my thing is this like when you're your kids.

2778
02:49:11,280 --> 02:49:12,720
Speaker 1: My kids were going up. It's a thing for this

2779
02:49:13,040 --> 02:49:17,600
Speaker 1: their generation, right, A lot of people right get him.

2780
02:49:17,720 --> 02:49:20,760
Speaker 1: It's it's cool, fine, but they always said you let's

2781
02:49:20,800 --> 02:49:25,600
Speaker 1: get one. Well what what are you gonna get? And

2782
02:49:25,680 --> 02:49:27,760
Speaker 1: they say, well, I get one, and it'll mean because

2783
02:49:27,800 --> 02:49:29,680
Speaker 1: this means so much. And I say, okay, that's great.

2784
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:31,560
Speaker 1: But here's let me just tell you something. You're like

2785
02:49:31,840 --> 02:49:35,800
Speaker 1: sixteen or eighteen or twenty, let me tell you something.

2786
02:49:35,840 --> 02:49:43,440
Speaker 1: When you're twenty, there's gonna be fifty things. They're gonna

2787
02:49:43,480 --> 02:49:45,480
Speaker 1: mean more to you in your life than whatever it

2788
02:49:45,560 --> 02:49:48,600
Speaker 1: is you're getting one twenty, So are you gonna So

2789
02:49:48,760 --> 02:49:51,040
Speaker 1: that's where you're talking about. So if that means that much,

2790
02:49:51,280 --> 02:49:54,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a tattoo. Anything subsequent in your life

2791
02:49:54,480 --> 02:49:57,480
Speaker 1: that happens, you're gonna have to come if if you

2792
02:49:57,600 --> 02:50:01,280
Speaker 1: don't commemorate, commemorate it with a tat. It doesn't mean

2793
02:50:01,400 --> 02:50:06,320
Speaker 1: as much too. This spring trip you took in two

2794
02:50:06,400 --> 02:50:09,680
Speaker 1: thousand whatever, Right, so you get like, when you have

2795
02:50:09,840 --> 02:50:11,720
Speaker 1: three kids, well they don't mean as much to you

2796
02:50:11,800 --> 02:50:13,600
Speaker 1: as this did when you were twenty. Well, now you

2797
02:50:13,680 --> 02:50:16,039
Speaker 1: gotta get three tats for each a tat for each kid,

2798
02:50:16,360 --> 02:50:18,200
Speaker 1: and then when you're you're married, Now you gotta get

2799
02:50:18,280 --> 02:50:20,480
Speaker 1: one for your significant other. Now you gotta get that

2800
02:50:20,560 --> 02:50:22,640
Speaker 1: tat now. So you see what I mean. You never

2801
02:50:22,720 --> 02:50:25,039
Speaker 1: get you can't get very slope, You can't jet get

2802
02:50:25,120 --> 02:50:28,640
Speaker 1: just one. In my opinion, now that's you know. Yeah,

2803
02:50:28,920 --> 02:50:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm an old guy. You can't take mine. Don't take

2804
02:50:30,920 --> 02:50:33,000
Speaker 1: my word for any of this. This is just me spouting.

2805
02:50:34,080 --> 02:50:37,080
Speaker 1: Remember my mom being very heavy handed with my younger

2806
02:50:37,160 --> 02:50:39,480
Speaker 1: sister on this subject because she didn't have to worry

2807
02:50:39,480 --> 02:50:41,160
Speaker 1: about me, because like we were just saying, I didn't

2808
02:50:41,160 --> 02:50:44,840
Speaker 1: have a tremendous interest in getting one at any point

2809
02:50:44,879 --> 02:50:48,120
Speaker 1: in time. My sister was a different story, and I

2810
02:50:48,200 --> 02:50:51,800
Speaker 1: still remember my mom like basically yelling in the house,

2811
02:50:53,280 --> 02:50:56,560
Speaker 1: just think about your wedding pictures. That won't look too

2812
02:50:56,640 --> 02:51:00,440
Speaker 1: good there, and I'm just like that we're going with

2813
02:51:00,680 --> 02:51:05,120
Speaker 1: as the reason not to get like is it, ma,

2814
02:51:05,640 --> 02:51:08,240
Speaker 1: is an eighteen year old really thinking about wedding pictures?

2815
02:51:09,120 --> 02:51:11,720
Speaker 1: My mom would say, well, no, an eighteen year old

2816
02:51:11,879 --> 02:51:14,600
Speaker 1: is not thinking about wedding pictures, which is exactly why

2817
02:51:14,680 --> 02:51:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up now because in ten years they

2818
02:51:17,640 --> 02:51:20,240
Speaker 1: will live to regret it. And I was like, Okay,

2819
02:51:20,400 --> 02:51:22,040
Speaker 1: I'll let you have that one. No, that's the thing.

2820
02:51:22,120 --> 02:51:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's yeah, and that's you and I'm I'm

2821
02:51:26,560 --> 02:51:28,840
Speaker 1: but we always in our house, we always said, listen,

2822
02:51:29,200 --> 02:51:31,520
Speaker 1: as soon as you're on your own dime, you can

2823
02:51:31,560 --> 02:51:34,039
Speaker 1: do what you want. Yeah, you know if when I'm

2824
02:51:34,640 --> 02:51:36,480
Speaker 1: when you're not cashing a check for me and I'm

2825
02:51:36,520 --> 02:51:38,000
Speaker 1: not paying for your way and I'm not you know,

2826
02:51:38,360 --> 02:51:40,680
Speaker 1: helping you that, then you can do what you want.

2827
02:51:41,680 --> 02:51:48,120
Speaker 1: And they all did it floats your boat? So what

2828
02:51:48,280 --> 02:51:52,840
Speaker 1: would you say is the most interesting? Were talking designs?

2829
02:51:52,920 --> 02:52:01,880
Speaker 1: Are we talking relatives? People's names? What do you No,

2830
02:52:02,160 --> 02:52:05,960
Speaker 1: my kids kind of went not not written. The written

2831
02:52:06,000 --> 02:52:09,360
Speaker 1: word is not a part of it. It's it's symbols, symbols. Yeah, yeah,

2832
02:52:09,520 --> 02:52:13,720
Speaker 1: well it's symbols and it. And you know, my my

2833
02:52:13,840 --> 02:52:18,440
Speaker 1: oldest has got the most elaborate one, but they all,

2834
02:52:18,520 --> 02:52:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, but my daughter has the most. You know,

2835
02:52:22,879 --> 02:52:25,640
Speaker 1: things that rent something to her and things, well there's

2836
02:52:25,680 --> 02:52:28,440
Speaker 1: often a story behind them exactly, and it's their story.

2837
02:52:28,520 --> 02:52:31,200
Speaker 1: So it's, you know, cool do it. And I'm I'm

2838
02:52:31,360 --> 02:52:32,840
Speaker 1: all about it. I want to hear it too, so

2839
02:52:33,040 --> 02:52:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, and there, but it's not it wasn't my thing.

2840
02:52:36,520 --> 02:52:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why I am. I was a different

2841
02:52:38,760 --> 02:52:42,640
Speaker 1: generation or I am a different generation than them. It's

2842
02:52:42,680 --> 02:52:45,720
Speaker 1: not something I did. Uh. There is a listing for

2843
02:52:46,400 --> 02:52:51,320
Speaker 1: the seventeenth games that will be played. We already know

2844
02:52:51,440 --> 02:52:54,840
Speaker 1: the Bills will be playing the Washington Oh no, this

2845
02:52:55,000 --> 02:52:58,680
Speaker 1: isn't right. This is from this year's standings. It's from

2846
02:52:58,720 --> 02:53:03,240
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen stand endings. They're not an outline here.

2847
02:53:04,040 --> 02:53:08,360
Speaker 1: Under the scheduling formula, every team played seventeen regular season

2848
02:53:08,480 --> 02:53:13,160
Speaker 1: games with one bye week. Clubs will host ten games overall,

2849
02:53:13,200 --> 02:53:16,040
Speaker 1: either nine regular season games in one preseason game or

2850
02:53:16,120 --> 02:53:18,680
Speaker 1: eight regular season games in two preseason games. Yes, we

2851
02:53:18,760 --> 02:53:23,760
Speaker 1: knew that, but the Tom Palaceero decided to post the

2852
02:53:23,959 --> 02:53:28,480
Speaker 1: standings from this past season when I thought the formula

2853
02:53:28,640 --> 02:53:34,120
Speaker 1: was supposed to use the twenty nineteen standings. Don't know.

2854
02:53:34,800 --> 02:53:38,119
Speaker 1: All I know is this, here's the the East Bills

2855
02:53:38,160 --> 02:53:43,280
Speaker 1: play Washington, Dolphins played the Giants, Patriots played the Cowboys,

2856
02:53:43,920 --> 02:53:52,160
Speaker 1: Jets play the Eagles. Okay, yeah, I think that might

2857

Speaker 1: and that Steve goes through the rest of the and

2860
02:53:58,360 --> 02:54:01,640
Speaker 1: it's just a it's an extra teen little Yeah, that's

Speaker 1: I get it. So we have to take a break

2877
02:55:17,120 --> 02:55:20,560
Speaker 1: when we come back. What have we learned from today's show?

2878
02:55:20,640 --> 02:55:23,520
Speaker 1: A myriad of lessons. We'll try to pull one out.

2879
02:55:23,879 --> 02:55:26,680
Speaker 1: And I've got a little history note for Steve, which

2880
02:55:26,760 --> 02:55:30,560
Speaker 1: might have been the best purchase since the Louisiana purchase.

2881
02:55:31,280 --> 02:55:33,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we return. Here on One

2882

Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, This is Buffalo

02:55:35,600 --> 02:55:53,039
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. What have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2884
02:55:53,080 --> 02:55:55,959
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2885
02:55:56,920 --> 02:56:00,960
Speaker 1: Learned a bunch of stuff today. We learned what all

2886
02:56:01,000 --> 02:56:04,199
Speaker 1: the matchups will be is The seventeenth NFL regular season

2887
02:56:04,280 --> 02:56:08,880
Speaker 1: game was formally approved another juicy matchup Green Bay at

2888
02:56:08,959 --> 02:56:13,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City, with these cross conference games making up the

2889
02:56:13,760 --> 02:56:17,360
Speaker 1: seventeenth game this year. In case you were wondering, these

2890
02:56:17,440 --> 02:56:20,040
Speaker 1: games will not all be played in like the seventeenth

2891
02:56:20,160 --> 02:56:22,640
Speaker 1: or eighteenth week of the season. They'll be scattered throughout

2892
02:56:22,680 --> 02:56:24,680
Speaker 1: the schedule, at least, as it's been told to us

2893
02:56:25,120 --> 02:56:27,240
Speaker 1: when we had Judye Batista on the show a little while,

2894
02:56:28,000 --> 02:56:31,280
Speaker 1: probably a couple of weeks ago, Steve, on this day,

2895
02:56:32,600 --> 02:56:39,560
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty seven, the US agreed to buy Alaska

2896
02:56:39,680 --> 02:56:42,360
Speaker 1: from Russia. Do you remember the price tag? I think

2897
02:56:42,400 --> 02:56:47,480
Speaker 1: it was no. Seven point two million dollars for three

2898
02:56:47,600 --> 02:56:51,959
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million acres. It's basically two cents

2899
02:56:52,000 --> 02:56:56,800
Speaker 1: an acre. Unbelievable. It's one hundred and thirty million in

2900
02:56:56,920 --> 02:57:01,400
Speaker 1: today's money, which is still a bargain. And you want

2901
02:57:01,400 --> 02:57:03,520
Speaker 1: to know what else one hundred and thirty million is, Steve,

2902
02:57:04,560 --> 02:57:06,800
Speaker 1: That's less than what Josh Allen's extension is going to be.

2903
02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:09,760
Speaker 1: It is. It's also the payroll of the Saint Louis

2904
02:57:09,879 --> 02:57:13,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals here. Could you imagine buying a chunk of this

2905
02:57:14,000 --> 02:57:19,240
Speaker 1: planet for that cheap? It's unheard of. It's just and

2906
02:57:19,400 --> 02:57:22,920
Speaker 1: I didn't really know the history behind it. Steward's icebox, right,

2907
02:57:23,800 --> 02:57:25,960
Speaker 1: but then they discovered oil and he looked like a genius.

2908
02:57:28,080 --> 02:57:34,080
Speaker 1: The story behind it was really interesting because basically Russia

2909
02:57:34,360 --> 02:57:38,320
Speaker 1: was desperate from money to fund another fearing another war

2910
02:57:38,480 --> 02:57:41,640
Speaker 1: with Britain after the Crimean War, they rushed to sell

2911
02:57:41,680 --> 02:57:45,039
Speaker 1: Alaska to the US for seven point two million, two

2912
02:57:45,120 --> 02:57:48,640
Speaker 1: cents an acre because they're worried about British Columbia taking

2913
02:57:48,680 --> 02:57:52,960
Speaker 1: the territory over, so instead they're like, wow, they'll sell

2914
02:57:53,000 --> 02:57:56,080
Speaker 1: it to the US and that's their problem. The Brits

2915
02:57:56,120 --> 02:57:58,760
Speaker 1: won't invade them there, and we get some money in

2916
02:57:58,840 --> 02:58:02,720
Speaker 1: the deal. Also not a good move, good move for us.

2917
02:58:02,840 --> 02:58:07,040
Speaker 1: That was a blunder. If you ever interesting show, we

2918
02:58:07,120 --> 02:58:09,959
Speaker 1: were all over the map. It was a cornucopia of information.

2919
02:58:10,720 --> 02:58:12,960
Speaker 1: We'll be sure to give you more of that tomorrow.

2920

Speaker 1: Bill Pollian schedule to be on the show tomorrow. You
