• 1:38
  bit under the weather. I know my co host was a little bit more
• 1:42
  under the weather than me. And it kind of got down to it where
• 1:45
  we were trying to figure out we could do it Friday, if we could
• 1:47
  do it Sunday morning before the game, and it just didn't work out.
• 1:49
  And you know, a situation where everybody just wanted to get back to full
• 1:53

• 2:07
  U p c is E y K how at the crew DT. It feels
• 2:12
  like I mean, it feels like it's been forever since we've been back on
• 2:15
  here. Man. I know we talked very frequently, but man, I
• 2:19
  love being right here, sitting in the studio and being with you. Man.
• 2:22
  It's like I just called you by Bill's best friend like I mean,
• 2:24
  I I love it man. So I missed you last week. Man,
• 2:28
  I missed the crew and I miss interacted with all of the crew listeners.
• 2:31
  But click clack, we back DT. What's good man, the crew.
• 2:35
  I'm back. Good to be back. We we we're good, rob.
• 2:38
  We just took a little bit of a bye week by week ourselves, you
• 2:39
  know, week ourselves, but going to be back and and yeah, let's
• 2:45
  rock and roll baby. It feels good. I mean, we're in a
• 2:47
  decent spot, rolling in after huge win that will get into tonight and you
• 2:53
  know, under the weather kind of get it out of us, get it
• 2:54
  away from us for so we're good for the holidays. So looking at the
• 2:58
  positives of that, and I self myself received some tax as well. And
• 3:02
  you know, it was bittersweet because you want to give the people these these
• 3:06
  episodes and you know, but but you know, you know they're listening.
• 3:08
  They'll call you out for missing a week. So that's it's a good thing
• 3:12
  here on the crew. Good thing here on the crew. But but we
• 3:15
  back, baby, what's up? Oh man, I'm good DT. I'm
• 3:17
  back to full strength. You're back to full strength. We're not listening on
• 3:20
  the injury report. So that's a good thing. Man. Listen, nicholsony
• 3:23
  crew Bill's mafia. Man. This is this is cool, man, this
• 3:28
  is It's funny because we were talking dt like the season, just the ups
• 3:31
  and the downs, and what was the main thing that I had told you
• 3:35
  in the beginning of the year when we had our FAM Appreciation Week was that
• 3:38
  I was struggling, like you know, I'm I want to skip ahead to
• 3:40
  the playoffs and stuff like that. Well, this season didn't allow us to
• 3:44
  do that, and I promised you that I would go along with the ride.
• 3:46
  And what a roller coaster ride it has been because the ups and downs
• 3:50
  of the season, with the record and uh, you know, dumb losses
• 3:53
  to the Jets and the Patriots have kind of put us in a situation where
• 3:57
  I was a little bit doom and gloom for a little bit of time.
• 3:59
  Detail. But boy, man, like the I named the episode, man,
• 4:01
  just like we got a pulse, man, like we are in this
• 4:04
  thing. As you know, the Bills are victorious on last Sunday, just
• 4:09
  to quickly recap, you know, twenty to seventeen over the Kansas City Chiefs
• 4:13
  in Arrowhead, which is always a great place to go ahead and grab a
• 4:16
  W. And you know, now Bills are three and two, the only
• 4:18
  team I think that has beaten Mahomes three times at home in the regular season
• 4:23
  since his ten years, since he's became the starter. And it was sweet.
• 4:27
  DT. You know, one thing about about it is that when you
• 4:30
  get to six and six and every game is important and you've got to win
• 4:32
  out or you got to come close to winning out, I don't give a
• 4:35
  shit about style points or anything like that, and we'll get into that,
• 4:39
  but I am just so happy that we got a chance to get that W
• 4:42
  because we've got a legit shot DT. I mean, everything is right in
• 4:45
  front of us, including even possibly sneaking out a chance to steal that AFC
• 4:49
  East and we'll get into that as well. But Sunday, man, I
• 4:53
  mean, as the afternoon set into the evening, DT, like it was,
• 4:58
  it was nice to see the team come out with a gritty performance.
• 5:00
  And we'll get into the controversy at the end of the game, which obviously
• 5:03
  wasn't a controversy, but it was, you know, it was all about
• 5:05
  the refs at the end of it. But like boy, it was it
• 5:10
  was really it was really good to see the team show up and show out
• 5:13
  when it was a situation where things could have gone really shitty and it could
• 5:15
  have gone a different way, and they they pulled it out. Man,
• 5:18
  Like, I don't care about style boys, DT, I really don't care.
• 5:20
  It's it's not a patch of contest, man, I don't care.
• 5:24
  What was What was the Cincinnati mayor calling Joe Burrow last year and they were
• 5:28
  calling burroughhead stage barowhead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They beat the Chiefs
• 5:31
  a few times. Well, I mean, granted, the Bills haven't done
• 5:33
  it, and you know, they've had some of their worst losses in franchise
• 5:36
  history in that stadium. But you know, in the regular season the past
• 5:41
  three years, it's been it's been like work with these dudes. I mean,
• 5:44
  uh, you know two years ago was a was an easy, convincing
• 5:47
  win with a couple of nice defensive plays and a pick six by Michael Hyde.
• 5:51
  Last year was you know, it was a hell of a game,
• 5:55
  you know, coming down to the wire, kind of back and forth and
• 5:58
  you know, the battle of the man's that old Josh and Patt and and
• 6:01
  it was you know, with Josh showing a great tuddy late to Dawson Knox
• 6:04
  and then the defense actually making a stop with Terren Johnson and the pick,
• 6:09
  and they share kind of a similar similar story, just a back and forth
• 6:13
  game of you know, a tale of really two halves of the Bills played
• 6:16
  great in the first half, kind of tapered off in the second and Kansas
• 6:19
  City kind of played mediocre the whole time and had a chance at the end.
• 6:24
  There. So great games and I'm not calling an Allen had stadium yet,
• 6:29
  you know, we got any big games there. But but I'm done
• 6:32
  being scared of him in the regular season out there. You know, it's
• 6:34
  like, oh, every year we gotta go to Kansas City. We got
• 6:36
  to go and play these guys in Kansas City every year, and we're coming
• 6:40
  out victorious time in and time out with adversity in all three of those games.
• 6:43
  As well, we were never fully healthy in all three games. You
• 6:46
  know, we never put it. But the common denominator one seven comes to
• 6:49
  play when he gets in that stadium, and and that's what it was.
• 6:51
  So it was excited to see we'll take that dub. Yeah, I could
• 6:55
  give a shoot about style points or anything like that if we were, you
• 6:59
  know, in a position of the one seed and we could really start picking
• 7:02
  and away from perfection maybe, but at this point it's surviving advance and and
• 7:08
  it's a big survival after Sunday, so we'll take that shit all day.
• 7:11
  Yeah, man, I mean, it's funny because that's exactly how Josh described
• 7:14
  it. At the end of the you know, the game. You're talking
• 7:15
  about the you know, the the locker room and the postgame and you know,
• 7:18
  the bills taking behind the scenes, and he's you know, he brings
• 7:20
  a team together and he's just like surviving advance, like you know what i
• 7:23
  mean, went on three one, two, three win, you know.
• 7:25
  So it was it was great to see because of the fact that he really
• 7:28
  did put on the cape a little bit in that second half, and it
• 7:30
  was some throws that he made that I just was watching and I had the
• 7:33
  Kings with me, and I'm just like, did you see that throw?
• 7:35
  And like They've got the nice little slow bows going on the replays and I'm
• 7:39
  just like, man, like the one where he's fading to the to the
• 7:42
  sideline and he's just like back against the side, but he chucks that thing.
• 7:46
  I'm like, man, I was like, was he out of bounds
• 7:46
  like I was cringing my you know, my eyes when I'm looking like did
• 7:49
  he step out of the bounds or anything like that, Like nope, And
• 7:53
  his arm strength DT is just ridiculous. Like it just always leads me back
• 7:58
  to some of the things that you talked about, you know, earlier in
• 8:01
  the season and then last season when we're lamenting some of the missed opportunities because
• 8:05
  you don't want to waste this guy like this. He is in his prime
• 8:07
  right now. He is he has got everything working for him. I mean
• 8:11
  that pass of Concaide on the fourth down, like it looked like look like
• 8:15
  the play was going to be broken. I was like, run for it,
• 8:16
  and he didn't want to run for it, and then all of a
• 8:18
  sudden he cocks it back and makes that wonderful pass. It just it's so
• 8:24
  fun to watch him and it's so fun to watch him go to work because
• 8:26
  of the fact that he is he's anything on the field, DT he can
• 8:30
  do. You always talk about how he's intoxicating, how he's the best,
• 8:33
  he's the best watch in the NFL, and it's just so it's such a
• 8:37
  true statement because of the fact that, I mean, this guy is must
• 8:39
  see TV. Everything that he does is it really is amazing when he gets
• 8:43
  in his little zone and he gets in his little grooves because of the fact
• 8:46
  that he's just unstoppable man. When he's in his groove and he's feeling himself,
• 8:52
  play calls are coming in the right way. I don't think that there's
• 8:54
  anything that he can't do, whether it's on structure, whether it's off structure,
• 8:58
  and he's got to create outside out of the structure of the plate.
• 9:01
  Seventeen can do it all. DT Like, if there's anything else that Bill's
• 9:05
  moufew needs to see, I'm sure that they don't. He proves that weekend
• 9:09
  and week out, especially in those big, high leverage situations where we need
• 9:13
  to play. Josh Allen's got our back man, Like I love our quarterback.
• 9:16
  I really, I really do love our quarterback. I really do.
• 9:20
  This is why we've been so mad this year, Rob. You know,
• 9:22
  in the drought in we go six and six, the drought, we go
• 9:26
  six and six, were happy. We're mad this year because we know what
• 9:28
  we have. We know the amo and the gun and we're not shooting it
• 9:31
  and and that's been the most frustrating part and you know, and I spoke
• 9:35
  on a few episodes ago about Josh Allen. Is he just a Philip Rivers
• 9:41
  or you know, or Carson Wentz, you know, super talented, has
• 9:43
  a splash in the pan and then just never can really do it all.
• 9:48
  And that's why refuse to believe that though, Yeah, I refuse to believe
• 9:52
  that he is the guy. He is he when we're when we have him,
• 9:56
  we have a chance to win games no matter what, in all situations.
• 10:00
  And the dude, you know, barely takes sacks in a in a
• 10:03
  team where if we didn't have Josh Allen, this offensive line would have been
• 10:05
  overhauled three or four times by now, because you know, they're not blogging
• 10:09
  outstanding. And he gets out of everything and puts balls you know, where
• 10:13
  they need to go and leads the team and you know, it's no it's
• 10:16
  no secret. Obviously he's the catalyst and the alph of this team. And
• 10:20
  when he goes, we go. But uh, yeah, that's why we've
• 10:24
  been so mad all year because we know how good and we know what we're
• 10:26
  wasting, we know the situation at hand, and you know, seventeen comes
• 10:30
  and balls out and really since uh, you know, RP Ken Dorsey,
• 10:33
  but since Ken Dorsey is he's kind of had that you know swagger about him.
• 10:37
  The you know, I'm back swagger on that field and you know,
• 10:41
  the demon mode of going out and busting your ass. And obviously he knows
• 10:45
  he's he has to play that mode the rest of the year for you know,
• 10:46
  the bills to be in contention, to have a chance, and uh,
• 10:50
  one week at a time. I loved when he said surviving in advance
• 10:52
  because that proves to me, you know, that mindset of we lose,
• 10:58
  we're done. You know we've done. So you know that Hungary is good
• 11:01
  to know that they have it there and they're kind of not they're always taking
• 11:05
  it one week at a time, but they know one loss can ruin it
• 11:07
  all. So that I love hearing that. I love the vibe. I
• 11:11
  love when he's making those you know, it's a highlight play after highlight play,
• 11:15
  especially when he goes into in the Allen Head Stadium out there and two
• 11:20
  previous years were the hurdle hurdles and you know, just just getting it done.
• 11:24
  His touchdown passes around fleeky, everything was nice. So like what we
• 11:28
  see out of seventeen, Love the mindset of where he's leading this team to
• 11:33
  go that we can hope to be, you know, a postseason burst,
• 11:37
  so we'll see. Yeah, man, it's it's interesting because you know,
• 11:41
  I love it. And one of the things I wanted to really point out
• 11:43
  was the fact that like, you know, shout out to your boy Jimmy
• 11:46
  Cooks. Man, you talk about Jimmy Cooking, Like, listen, James
• 11:48
  cook is turning out to be a valuable weapon, and I think that he's
• 11:52
  gonna be somebody that Yeah, I think that he's gonna be somebody that's gonna
• 11:56
  be reckoned with if we do sneak into the playoffs DT, because it seems
• 11:58
  that Brady one of the things that he's doing right now is it seems like
• 12:03
  he's he's stacking plays in sequence. And I've heard it on WGR and I
• 12:07
  totally agree with that with that Moniker because it's not just like a it's not
• 12:11
  just calling plays. And sometimes it seemed like Ken Dorsey didn't know what he
• 12:13
  wanted to do and he's just like, you know, try let's let's try
• 12:16
  this, and let's try this, and let's try this. It seems like,
• 12:18
  you know, Brady is kind of he's kind of stacking plays together in
• 12:22
  a sequence where Okay, I'm gonna set him up for this, and I'm
• 12:24
  gonna set him up for this, and James Cook has really been the beneficiary
• 12:28
  of some of that because of the fact that he can't be touched out of
• 12:31
  the backfield like him as a receiving threat is really really dangerous. He's got
• 12:35
  speed, he's got hands, he's got the awareness to get into the different
• 12:39
  gaps and read the play the right way, and that touchdown to start the
• 12:41
  game off, it was just a thing of beauty. And they talked about
• 12:43
  it at nauseum about how Joshaw the coverage and Joe Brady you know, thanked
• 12:48
  you know, Josh and gave him credit and you know, and then Josh
• 12:50
  gave Joe Brady credit. But either way, as soon as they saw this
• 12:54
  cover, zero boom right on it and he knew exactly where to go with
• 12:56
  the football. They got the flare screen on the outside, and then he
• 12:58
  just goes right up the scene and it was just a situation where it was
• 13:01
  like, man, like this, I like James Cook now, like I
• 13:05
  love his speed, and I just like the fact that he's being used in
• 13:07
  different ways. We're not just running them in between the tackles or anything like
• 13:09
  that. And it seems like there's a plan for him, is what I'm
• 13:11
  really trying to get at. And it seems like Brady knows what he wants
• 13:15
  to do, he knows how he wants to attack, and James Cook is
• 13:16
  a part of that, a part of that attack. It's kind of like
• 13:20
  a boxer strategy, you know. And I feel like in the beginning of
• 13:22
  the year with Dorsey and last year, we were just throwing throwing strikes at
• 13:26
  the bag, you know, just throwing haymakers at the bag, and you
• 13:30
  know, if one stuck, one stuck, and if not, you know,
• 13:31
  it's just another hit on the bag. Here, we're a little more
• 13:35
  you know, diaboicle, a little more like bang, you know, bang
• 13:37
  bang bang, you know, and so setting things up and getting rolling and
• 13:41
  yeah, I mean he's a mismatch for anybody, you know, who has
• 13:45
  to cover him. They're not bringing a safety or cornerback down out of the
• 13:48
  backfield, so it's got to be a linebacker and he's gonna outrun everybody in
• 13:52
  that card. I like the confidence of him getting into the role. Hopefully
• 13:56
  he doesn't fumble on the first play again and then gets bench for three quarters.
• 13:58
  But uh, you know, jim Jimmy Cook is a good thing for
• 14:03
  Josh Allen to have in the back and he's starting to run a little harder.
• 14:05
  I like him out of the backfield, which we're seeing a lot of
• 14:09
  more on a little more, but he's running a lot harder. And you
• 14:11
  know what's what's better confidence when you're averaging eight yards of carries and you kind
• 14:16
  of know, you know, you start to see running backs kind of taking
• 14:18
  it easy, not taking it easy, but running a little less angry and
• 14:22
  hard when you know they're getting stuffed at the line every play. He knows
• 14:24
  he's getting burse and could this one be the sixty yard run? Could this
• 14:28
  one be the seven yard run? And the most down on the back of
• 14:30
  his head and you see that there so love Josh getting comfortable with him.
• 14:33
  You know, he dropped that touchdown in Philly that could have been the difference
• 14:37
  in the game, and you know, maybe taking that personal and going in
• 14:39
  and you know, also going demon mode with Josh the rest of the season
• 14:41
  to try to, you know, have that one two steps. So I
• 14:45
  like the way of the offense is going a little lot more strategic as a
• 14:48
  boxer than just throwing hits at the bag. They're they're setting it up,
• 14:50
  throwing the jebs before they throw the haymakers. And you know, it's it's
• 14:56
  been successful so far on the Brady so love it. Love Jimmy Cook,
• 14:58
  Baby, No, that's your boy man. Yeah, now before we transition,
• 15:03
  you know, it's the elephant in the room. And everybody, you
• 15:05
  know, it was obviously the big topic of conversation, and it was all
• 15:07
  over ESPN and all the major outlets on Monday, the reaction of the Kansas
• 15:13
  City Chiefs. Obviously, Cadarius Tony was offside, you know, anybody you
• 15:16
  know, I saw all the different memes and everybody talking about it, and
• 15:18
  it was so funny because I think Ross Tucker put out a really good one
• 15:22
  where he's got you know, Cadarius Tony literally in our secondary on a still
• 15:26
  shot before the play and he was like, I don't know what's wrong,
• 15:28
  you know, And it was obviously a joke. Listen, he was off
• 15:31
  side. Everybody knows that it was a penalty. It was on Cadarius Tony
• 15:35
  and his responsibility as a wide receiver. Now I coach football, and you've
• 15:39
  played football as well, DT, so you know all about it. So
• 15:41
  when you get to that line of scrimmage, it's on the player. It's
• 15:43
  in coming on the player to look at the official, check, see if
• 15:46
  I'm close, see if I need to get off the ball a little bit
• 15:48
  more, what if the case may be. Now, it's a courtesy when
• 15:50
  they do check, but obviously if you check with the rest, they're going
• 15:54
  to tell you if you're off or if you need to get back. It
• 15:56
  is not their responsibility to give you and do your job for you. So
• 16:00
  because of the fact that Tony never checked, he's way off sides. You
• 16:03
  could see him on the screen. He was all over the blue, which
• 16:04
  is unofficial anyway, So that means that he was way over the ball.
• 16:07
  The fact that Mahomes reacted the way that he did, now, I'll give
• 16:11
  him a little bit of a pass for not trying to attack the official,
• 16:15
  but I'll give him a little bit of a pass for being heated in the
• 16:17
  in the heat of battle. But once the clock hit Zeros, I just
• 16:19
  feel like he acted like a chunk. DT. I feel like he acted
• 16:22
  like a chump with meeting Josh Allen at midfield and then bitching to Josh Allen
• 16:26
  like Josh Allen had anything to do with it. Now, the next day,
• 16:30
  after obviously all of the you know, all of the rhetoric comes out
• 16:33
  and all of the you know, the reaction to it comes out, then
• 16:36
  he obviously on Tuesday, he magically wants to apologize. And I want to
• 16:38
  definitely apologize to Josh Allen, and I contacted him. I reached out to
• 16:42
  him what in the case may be, but I thought it was just a
• 16:45
  bad look for a guy that's got two Super Bowl rings, bend to three
• 16:48
  Super Bowls. You always get most of the calls. I mean, I
• 16:51
  was so surprised that other game against Green Bay when they didn't get that pass
• 16:53
  interference call. I don't think there's any bias in the league or anything like
• 16:56
  that, but the fact that they always seem to be on the right of
• 17:00
  the luck, you know what I mean, So they never really have much
• 17:02
  to bitch about. They've had so much success. And to see that he
• 17:04
  acted like that, and then you go see a competitor at midfield DT and
• 17:07
  you don't even really slap him up like that. All you want to do
• 17:11
  is bitch about the refs. I thought it was poor taste. I thought
• 17:14
  it was poor sportsmanship, and it was something that it's a teachable moment for
• 17:18
  the young kids, and it's something that I'll be showing, you know,
• 17:21
  to Nate because he plays quarterback and different things like that. You know,
• 17:22
  attitude reflects leadership, so you got to make sure that you're you know,
• 17:26
  winning the right way and then you lose the right way. It's not Josh
• 17:29
  Allen's fault that you know that Canarius Tony didn't check with the ref to get
• 17:32
  off the line of scrimmage before that final play on for Kansas City. And
• 17:36
  it wasn't even the final play. They had three more plays to try to
• 17:38
  go ahead and get that field goal. So it really was sour grapes and
• 17:41
  I just thought that it was just it was a really bad look and it
• 17:44
  was something that I was a little bit disappointed to see because I expected more
• 17:47
  from Mahomes again when he was acting a fool on the sideline trying to go
• 17:49
  after the ref where semi, you know, he's not going to go and
• 17:52
  hit the ref or anything like that. But I gave him a little bit
• 17:55
  of passing that because that's heated competition. But once the clock hit zero,
• 17:57
  man, you lost the game. Go shake the competitor's hand. Let Josh
• 18:00
  Allen know that. You know, great game, you know what I mean.
• 18:03
  Like, but he was just bitching to Josh, and I thought that
• 18:07
  was really I thought it was really coot tasting and not even a competitor like
• 18:10
  him and Josh are the faces of the league, right, you know,
• 18:12
  like this is a No. One rival, like you two are the you
• 18:17
  know one A one magic Yeah yeah, And it's like and you know,
• 18:21
  so it's not like you were just going up to Jordan Love or touchdowns for
• 18:26
  that matter, like and bitching about like this is Josh Allen. You're equal,
• 18:30
  Like you're equal the man. He the man's respect from anybody and especially
• 18:34
  you and being you know that face in the NFL. Yeah, that obviously
• 18:37
  kicked me off in the way of like the memes are hilarious, like like
• 18:42
  Josh Allen's face, you know, Josh Allen's face from Mahomes is like like
• 18:48
  hell all right, But you know two things on that the pedalty itself.
• 18:52
  You know, if I'm a Bills fan, I'm probably pissed about this penalty
• 18:55
  too. Right, how many times you get an offensive off side called?
• 18:57
  Never? And Andy Reids in Andy Reid's coaching era, he's never had an
• 19:03
  offensive offsides called on him once, you know. So it's not like this
• 19:06
  is a common thing, and so it could be. But if the ref
• 19:10
  is calling that, it shows that it's not called a lot calling that it
• 19:14
  shows yeah, it was egregious or this happened all game, you know,
• 19:18
  and he probably was like hey, you know, you probably gave him a
• 19:22
  few warnings like hey, you're lining up a little hot on this on the
• 19:25
  line, and then finally at the end he lines up again and yeah,
• 19:30
  So I thought I thought that instantly when it went off, like, oh,
• 19:34
  you don't hear a lot offensive outside, so if they're throwing it,
• 19:37
  I feel like there was history bringing up to that that he was maybe lying
• 19:41
  up hot, you know, most of the games. So and it's a
• 19:44
  penalty. It is what it is. They won the Super Bowl on the
• 19:47
  same on a call like that as well, like uh, TACKI you can't
• 19:51
  call that type of call. They won the Super Bowl on last year.
• 19:53
  So I don't feel bad for him. I don't think anybody should. And
• 19:56
  you know it, they're the spoiled rich kids, the spoiled this kid and
• 20:00
  something doesn't go their way, and you know, and granted, they don't
• 20:03
  have a lot of practice with losing. You're handling this stuff, so I'm
• 20:06
  not giving them a pass. But it's not in character for them to lose,
• 20:10
  so so they don't know how to deal with it. And it was
• 20:11
  obvious, you know, that night. But I'll watch I'll watch that bitch
• 20:15
  for years to come if that means, you know, they start to fall.
• 20:18
  And yeah, the bet Mahomes, you know, showed me there that
• 20:22
  he thinks he's above Josh Allen and that pissed me off. And hopefully Josh
• 20:26
  shakes that personal too, and you know, kind of puts that in like
• 20:29
  yeah, because it's not because it's interesting that you say that, but being
• 20:32
  above them, because what is all this rhetoric and what's all this talk about?
• 20:34
  The game was over? There's one twelve left that we had three timeouts,
• 20:37
  So wait a minute, So seventeen is going to get the ball back
• 20:40
  three timeouts. Even if that that lateral does work, the game's not over.
• 20:44
  And Josh Allen didn't have a shitty game or anything like that. It
• 20:47
  wasn't like the offense was in ft or anything like that. Again, the
• 20:48
  first half was was better than the second half, but I got I had
• 20:52
  confidence when I saw it go through. I looked at the clock, and
• 20:55
  I looked at the clock and I saw one twelve, and I was like,
• 20:56
  Okay, Josh is gonna get a chance to answer this, and hopefully
• 21:00
  we don't give them thirteen seconds or anything like that to respond. So I
• 21:03
  had confidence that Johns could come down there and go ahead and get a go
• 21:07
  ahead touchdown. So I heard a lot of people saying that the game was
• 21:08
  over, and that's just simply false. The game was not over, even
• 21:11
  if the touchdown would have counted the fact that everybody just assumes that because of
• 21:15
  that that great little Kelsey lateral, that the game was over. Like,
• 21:19
  the game was not over. Josh Allen was going to get the football back
• 21:22
  with a chance to put his team ahead. So I just didn't like some
• 21:25
  of the conjecture from it. It showed that, you know, like they
• 21:29
  had the vibe of like, oh, you losers had no chance of being
• 21:32
  with us, and now it's it's a fluke, and yeah, that's just
• 21:36
  straight consience. So I you know, I take it personally. The Bills
• 21:38
  should take it personally, absolutely, you know, and and screw screw the
• 21:42
  Chiefs. I respecting Mahomes leading up through and over the past couple of years
• 21:48
  especially, you know, I watched I watched majority of the NFL games,
• 21:51
  but I'm not as in depth obviously as when I watch a Bills game.
• 21:53
  And when you see this dude, like every play, like and there's a
• 21:57
  flag and he's just his head tilted and his arm out like, oh,
• 22:02
  it's going that way, it's going that way, like and then and then
• 22:04
  it just pissed me off, like well before and then the fourth quarter happens
• 22:07
  in that all and it's like doing a lot of different stuff. He's got
• 22:11
  a little step and every every great does that, right, Michael Jordan did
• 22:15
  it, and Lebron does it, and you know, Peyton and Brady and
• 22:19
  everybody does that. So sure it is what it is. I'm not.
• 22:22
  I'm not and Josh should too, like Josh Sells, you know, rough
• 22:26
  in the passer calls routinely, and so I'm not saying you can't bitch,
• 22:30
  but to that degree, and then to do it after the game, and
• 22:33
  then to do it with Josh Allen and act like he's just some other guy.
• 22:37
  You're like, oh, like that, so you know, by gones,
• 22:41
  by gones whatever. But you know it's a penalty. Get over it.
• 22:45
  You're not as the real problem, like it's you know, you're lashing
• 22:48
  out of me because you can't lash out at the real problem. The real
• 22:51
  problem is you're not as good as you work. Yeah, I'm not Mahomes
• 22:55
  in general. The team, the team overall. Yeah, the receiver has
• 22:57
  been up for them all season long, dropping passes. They've got thirty three
• 23:02
  drop passes, number one in the league by a good margin. And obviously
• 23:04
  there's some frustration setting in because you're absolutely right, DT, they're not used
• 23:07
  to losing. Now, as we transition, thank you to the Tennessee Titans.
• 23:11
  I was watching that game on Monday night and I literally was so mad
• 23:17
  when the guy I think he's a rookie or whatever, and he muffs that
• 23:22
  punt and I'm like, why did you even touch the punt? And all
• 23:23
  of a sudden, before you could even blink, it's a fourteen point game
• 23:26
  with two minutes a little bit over two minutes left, and I'm just so
• 23:29
  mad. I'm like, you guys hung tough all night long. Tyreek Hill
• 23:33
  goes down, They're gifting you this game, They're giving you an opportunity to
• 23:36
  stay in the game, and you are just giving it back to them.
• 23:38
  And I was like, I really could have used that win now again because
• 23:41
  of the fact that coming into that game, I wasn't expecting Tennessee to win.
• 23:45
  I can only get so mad, but I was more upset of the
• 23:47
  fact that they hung around all game long. I had sat there, watched
• 23:49
  the entire game, and I was like, man, you guys are going
• 23:52
  to give it away like this at the very end and fourteen points, I
• 23:56
  think they said. DT's like the first time in like forty years that a
• 24:00
  team lost. Ever, it's never happened, never with three minutes less like
• 24:06
  two minutes, like two minutes of change. Okay, so it never happened.
• 24:08
  That's crazy. It was thirty six in h oh my gosh. DT.
• 24:15
  Thank you to the Tennessee Titans, because I really I had no idea
• 24:18
  that they were gonna go ahead and pull that game out. And I really,
• 24:22
  I I mean, Miami really you know, threw up on themselves on
• 24:25
  that one. And it helps the Bills. DT. I mean, if
• 24:26
  you look at it with that win, it's it's it's right there. DT.
• 24:30
  I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but when you
• 24:33
  look at the quarterbacks that are remaining for the Bills, and then you look
• 24:36
  at Miami schedule, and I had just brought it up, I mean,
• 24:37
  they've got they've got some quarterbacks to face, and they've got some teams to
• 24:41
  play. They've got you know, obviously they've got the Jets coming up,
• 24:42
  and obviously I don't think that you know, this whole you know, Zach
• 24:45
  Wilson thing is going to continue. But then you've got Dallas, I know,
• 24:52
  yeah, him and Jimmy Cutlets, I know those guys. I mean,
• 24:55
  Sam is going on. I don't know who votes for that ship because
• 24:57
  that doesn't make any sense. But I mean you've got you've got Dallas a
• 25:00
  deck, You've got Lamar with the Ravens, and then you close out the
• 25:04
  season with you know, with us. So it's not anything easy, and
• 25:08
  I don't I mean, Bills are right there, So I don't necessarily think
• 25:11
  that the AC East is something that we can put out of the out of
• 25:15
  the Roman possibility, but definitely the wildcards, right there for us. That's
• 25:18
  why I name the episode of the way that I did. We've definitely got
• 25:21
  a pulse. I think that we should be able to get into the Wildcard
• 25:22
  as long as we don't you know, throw up on ourselves like Miami did
• 25:26
  on Monday night. But boy, what a win for for Tennessee. Man.
• 25:30
  That was totally unexpected. DT. Yeah. Will Levis is the Wish
• 25:34
  version of Josh Allen. Like he plays like a complete madiac. He has
• 25:41
  no regard for his body, he tucks it up, he runs through people.
• 25:45
  Jack He's yeah, he's the Wish version of Josh Allen. So you
• 25:48
  know, I love that energy. I love there wild What a win and
• 25:55
  a team that the Dolphins are really kind of, you know, in the
• 25:57
  past couple of years or feel themselves a little too much and then you know,
• 26:02
  they they always get knocked back down. And this year was like,
• 26:04
  oh, is this the time there they might actually be you know what they're
• 26:07
  behind And you know, I think Coward said it yesterday. Colin Coward said
• 26:11
  yesterday that the spray tand of the NFL, they listen, they look good,
• 26:15
  but eventually that you know, too many showers and and you're you're pale
• 26:18
  and pacey again pretty soon, you know. So they're a good team.
• 26:22
  I'm not taking anything away from them. They're they're top to bottom on all
• 26:26
  sides of the ball. Great, but we needed that, We need that
• 26:29
  huge. I mean, you gotta think they rebound against the Jets this week.
• 26:33
  Take care of them. And then you know, the the Ravens Cowboys
• 26:40
  where you know, we're the Ravens got gotta play the forty nine ers coming
• 26:45
  up. They gotta play. You know, the Ravens got some tough games,
• 26:47
  so it's not like they're gonna be just coasting into that one seed.
• 26:49
  They still got to earn that one seed and in the AFC, so they're
• 26:52
  gonna be playing hard in that game. And Dallas is obviously in a battle
• 26:56
  for that, you know, for the division with Philly and seed of you
• 27:00
  know, with with the forty nine ers now creeping up and getting back on
• 27:03
  a roll. So both both the Ravens and the Cowboys you're gonna run into,
• 27:07
  you know, buzz saws of those dudes are playing for their lives and
• 27:11
  their livelihoods of that one as well. So it's not gonna be any easy
• 27:15
  games lead up to that and now we just need one, you know,
• 27:18
  in the figurative before it was they need to lose the Cowboys loseing the Ravens
• 27:22
  and then we have that chance, you know, against them, and now
• 27:25
  we just need one if we can, if we can figure out a way
• 27:26
  to get by the Cowboys this week, Rob, Like I text you this
• 27:30
  week, like we got a pulse. If we can meet the Cowboys this
• 27:33
  week, we were gonna sit up like the like the undertakers. Now we're
• 27:37
  back to the likes. It's live, so it's you know, still gotta
• 27:42
  take care of business. Still gotta take it a week at a time.
• 27:45
  But you know that the Dolphins showed, you know that they're they're not as
• 27:48
  superman as they looked. And if Tyreek Hill's not in the game, they
• 27:52
  suck. And that's that's what I was gonna say, because that's what that's
• 27:55
  the one thing that I noticed it and it jumped off the screen when I
• 27:57
  was watching Monday night. As soon as Tyree He'll win out. It just
• 28:00
  seemed like the offense was different. Toua was holding the ball longer, he
• 28:03
  was more indecisive, and then that's when the sacks started to pile up for
• 28:07
  Tennessee and things like that, the pressure started to pile up. He didn't
• 28:10
  throw any picks or anything like that, but it just seemed like he's more
• 28:12
  uncomfortable. I mean, everything about their offense with Mike McDaniel. And I
• 28:15
  love Mike McDaniel, and that's that's my guilty pleasures, as I do love
• 28:18
  him as a coach, and I wish he was our coach because of the
• 28:22
  fact that his mind and the way that he works. But everything is timing,
• 28:25
  everything is rhythm, everything is is scheduled. Everything, you know,
• 28:27
  the brock Purty debate is rock pretty as system quarterback and he's up for the
• 28:32
  MVP and stuff like that. He's got all these weapons, the same thing
• 28:33
  I feel about TO two is a good quarterback. But when you take away
• 28:37
  some of his weapons, he's just just the kind of a guy. You
• 28:41
  know, he doesn't have the strongest army. He's very accurate. But everything
• 28:44
  for their offense, the way that Mike McDaniel has to set up DT is
• 28:47
  timing, rhythm based on time. Space is gaps leverage, you know,
• 28:51
  fifteen yards out and in this route, and then the motions and different things
• 28:55
  like that that they create stress on a defense. When you take away the
• 28:57
  Cheetah, there's just less stress. I mean, there's no way around it.
• 29:00
  So it jumped off the screen to me when I was watching the game,
• 29:03
  and I could I couldn't ignore it. I was like, Wow,
• 29:06
  they look a little bit different without Tyreek Hill. So it'll be interesting to
• 29:08
  watch his ankle and the mount of that situation these next couple weeks, because
• 29:11
  they did not look like the same team without him, for sure, Yeah,
• 29:15
  not at all. And so you know, if he's if he's limited
• 29:18
  and going up, that could set up nice. But that happened. We
• 29:22
  got our break, you know, we we'll worry about their break after the
• 29:26
  Jets game. Is the e louse to the Jets? You know that's just
• 29:29
  like you. I think we already had our break. Well, we'll have
• 29:33
  to wait now until they play the Ravens and the Cowboys to see how that
• 29:34
  shit's out. But we got to take care of our business now. Well
• 29:38
  as we transition. Speaking of taking care of business, boy, this is
• 29:42
  gonna feel like a playoff game. One Sunday, DT the Bills battle the
• 29:45
  Dallas Cowboys, one of our most hated rivals, the guys that made me
• 29:49
  cry like a little baby. At at seven and eight years old, I
• 29:52
  mean, fifty two to seventeen, I was, I was, I was
• 29:55
  so mad. And then the next year I really thought that we were gonna
• 29:59
  win. We were up thirteen the three at half, and it just didn't
• 30:02
  work out in those Super Bowls. Boy, this is a big game.
• 30:04
  It's gonna feel like a big game for the fans. I know for sure.
• 30:08
  The ralph is gonna be rocking DT. That doesn't get much bigger than
• 30:11
  this. Dallas is They look they look great. Man, There's there's nothing
• 30:15
  I could take away from it. As much as I can't stand Dallas,
• 30:17
  as much as I can't stand that damn Star. They they look like a
• 30:21
  truck right now. They look better than Philly. They look just as good
• 30:23
  as as as you know San Francisco. I know San Francisco waxing, but
• 30:27
  that was earlier in the year. Dak is not turning over the ball.
• 30:30
  Their offense scores thirty points it seems like every damn week, and their defense
• 30:34
  is ferocious like they they are. They this is a This is probably the
• 30:38
  best opponent that you're gonna you're gonna face this year. I know that the
• 30:41
  Eagles were a formidable opponent. We had that game. We should have won
• 30:44
  that game. We've already lamented over that. Dallas is they look like the
• 30:48
  real deal. The best thing about is that they're coming into Orchard Park.
• 30:49
  It's gonna be a cold night, so that's that should help us out a
• 30:52
  little bit. That the atmosphere is gonna be real raucous. But this is
• 30:56
  no this is no slock. This is probably the best team that you're facing
• 30:59
  on the on the calendar, all seton. There's no doubt about it.
• 31:03
  I mean, top to bottom, they're fifty three is nice every everywhere you
• 31:06
  look. I mean they're they have all, you know, all pro type
• 31:08
  caliber players and they can make you pay, and they made teams pay all
• 31:12
  year. But that reverse psychology of just like you said, they are looking
• 31:15
  great. They are looking like a train that can't be stopped. And you
• 31:19
  know, they played, They just came off three straight home games, you
• 31:22
  know, with them with the great Thanksgiving up to them. They don't put
• 31:26
  them against the Bills anymore on Thanksgiving. All that worked out, and you
• 31:32
  know, so it's been real cushy for them the past couple of weeks and
• 31:36
  and they've been blowing teams out and everyone's saying, oh, this could be
• 31:38
  the year. You know, this could be the year. But in reality,
• 31:41
  the Cowboys are no better than than the Los Angeles Chargers. Robbed you
• 31:45
  know, is everywhere, and they always find they always find ways to do
• 31:49
  to fuck it up. So they in this case, they're they're coming real
• 31:52
  cushy, they're coming real, real comfortable. They got to come up to
• 31:56
  you know, to the Ralph and and with pulse back on, with the
• 32:00
  people sitting back up like the Undertaker, you know, the vibe is back,
• 32:05
  like the excitement now we go and especially after Miami losing, it's even
• 32:09
  it's even a bigger game for it. So it's gonna be loud there.
• 32:13
  It's gonna be nice. It's gonna be a nice day. It's not gonna
• 32:15
  be Dallas weather. But it's looking like mid forties with the sun out until
• 32:19
  until it drops, so you know, it's exactly exactly they're they're not sleeping
• 32:28
  in their bed as we always talk about, and they're gonna hear the Mafia
• 32:30
  because the Mafia, you know, one the history of people getting brutalized by
• 32:35
  them in the Super Bowl era and to the current state of we need this
• 32:38
  win more than them. So it's gonna be. It's gonna be a good
• 32:42
  one to be at. It's gonna be a good, good vibe overall,
• 32:45
  and it just sets up for not a trap game per se. But it's
• 32:49
  been real cushy and easy for the Cowboys. I know it's gonna come and
• 32:52
  they're gonna get some punches back. We'll see if they can, you know,
• 32:54
  if they stay in the ring or or they or they falter. So
• 32:59
  I'm pumped. I'm yeah, No, it's it's gonna be. This game
• 33:01
  has never met anything. You know, the in Buffalo at least the fans
• 33:07
  Giving game was was the last like big Dallas game, you know, we
• 33:09
  can remember there. But then when they played here eight years ago, I
• 33:13
  think it was like Kellen Moore and just bullshit. Before that, it was
• 33:16
  the Tony Romo game with the five picks. You know. Then I was
• 33:20
  at that game that was horrible. Yep. So there was never any states
• 33:23
  this is this is this is this is a ball game. This is a
• 33:27
  ball game. Yeah, it definitely is a ball game. I remember that,
• 33:30
  you know, I remember the game you're talking about with Kellen Moore than.
• 33:31
  I remember even before that when they came on a Monday night football game
• 33:36
  and and you know, Tony Romo thro four, you know, five picks
• 33:37
  and they still win the game on the last second, uh Nick Folk,
• 33:40
  I think it was the kickerback then field goal and it was just crushing.
• 33:44
  But the stakes went or live and that was during the during the drought.
• 33:46
  So's it's totally totally different vibes. The stadium will be rocking on Sunday afternoon
• 33:52
  going into the night, and I expect nothing less from Bill's Mafia than to
• 33:55
  try to make it out on Dak Prescott. They've got a great offensive line.
• 33:58
  We've talked about that, they've got a great offensive general and it'll be
• 34:01
  interesting. Now. One of the things that's gonna be real important for you
• 34:06
  know, one thing that's gonna be real important for the team is that we
• 34:09
  got to have that Miami mentality. I think DT you know that Miami mentality
• 34:15
  from the first game, where it's got to be go, go go.
• 34:16
  It's got to be a situation where you want to put your foot on the
• 34:21
  gas and never let it off. One of the most impressive things I thought,
• 34:23
  and we talked about it back then from that Miami game, was that
• 34:25
  they never took their foot off the gas. Now, obviously you're not gonna
• 34:30
  score thirty one points in the first half every game or anything like that,
• 34:32
  but but the fact that they were always they seem to know and even all
• 34:37
  the way up to McDermott, they seem to know that that game was going
• 34:39
  to require points, and they played like it. They coached like it from
• 34:43
  the from kickoff, they coached like they knew that they were gonna have to
• 34:45
  score points. I think it's the same exact mentality this week coming up on
• 34:49
  Sunday. You're gonna have to score points with these guys. I don't expect
• 34:52
  the defense to just clamp these guys down ceedee lamb and all the other different
• 34:55
  weapons that they have. You're gonna have to score points on the offense.
• 34:59
  And I would like to see that mindset from the from right from the jump,
• 35:01
  go out, go score points. It doesn't matter if you get the
• 35:04
  ball first or not. But go score points and never ever let your foot
• 35:07
  off the gas, just like you did in that Miami game back in the
• 35:09
  beginning of the year. Because I think that every point is going to be
• 35:13
  going to be needed in this one. It's it's got to be the same.
• 35:15
  And with the injury we didn't have the injuries we had now that we
• 35:20
  did in them, you know, so it's I'm saying, yeah, we
• 35:24
  have more. We had a lot healthier squad in that absolutely in that Miami
• 35:28
  game, yep. And you know, so it's it's gonna be a test
• 35:30
  on the defensive side of the ball. But you know, to dig in
• 35:34
  a little to them, their weak point on their team would be their linebackers.
• 35:37
  Their d backs are solid, their their rush is solid, but their
• 35:40
  linebackers are probably their weak point. Well, who's emerging for us? We
• 35:44
  just talked about them earlier in the show. Grap Jimmy Cook. Jimmy Cook
• 35:47
  against this this low end linebackers, a couple tight end kincaid and knocks against
• 35:52
  these linebackers. You know, that's I think where we where we got to
• 35:54
  see some some success out of there, because yeah, it's got to be
• 35:58
  points. It's got to be big. I mean the spread, I think
• 36:01
  the it's fifty and a half is over under with the Bills at a two
• 36:06
  and a half point favorite. Yeah, so you know they're anticipating this score
• 36:08
  to be twenty seven to twenty four. You know, we might see it
• 36:13
  a little higher, and you know, but it's it just proves that,
• 36:15
  you know, coming off a twenty point, you can't have three touchdowns against
• 36:20
  the Chiefs. Now the line has moved to you know, they're expecting to
• 36:23
  have four touchdowns easily right in a game against this this Dallas Cowboys team.
• 36:28
  So it's no no mystery that it's got to be a lot of points.
• 36:31
  I like that analogy of being like the Miami game and kind of coming out
• 36:35
  with guns blazing and rocking and rolling because the defense plays better that way.
• 36:38
  We talked about it. They always play better with the league, you know,
• 36:42
  this and that and everything in between. So a lot of points need
• 36:45
  to be scored. I don't think, you know, I have trust in
• 36:47
  NRD from what they are. I'm not saying to shut them down, but
• 36:52
  I think we can hold them under thirty. You know, I think it's
• 36:53
  gonna be a thirty there. But you know, if we get to thirty,
• 36:57
  we we should have a pretty good chance of winning this one. It'll
• 37:00
  be interesting, you know, because one of the things that can stop you
• 37:02
  from getting to thirty is is that motherfucker. On the other side of the
• 37:06
  football, Number eleven, Mark Um Parsons is a problem. Oh my god,
• 37:09
  Dtah. I saw him make Lane Johnson look bad, and Lane Johnson
• 37:15
  is arguably the best right tackle in the league and a grown man, and
• 37:19
  he made him look bad at certain times in that Philly game. Micah Parsons.
• 37:22
  The way he plays football reminds me of Lawrence Taylor. Now he is
• 37:25
  not LT, I do understand. So no disrespect any Giants fans here and
• 37:30
  the crew that might be listening to your dual fans, But boy, he
• 37:34
  invokes some of those same type of thoughts when I see that man play football.
• 37:37
  He is ferocious. He never stops. His motor doesn't stop. You
• 37:40
  always talk about Max Crosby and these guys and Aiden Hutchinson, they never he
• 37:45
  listen. Parsons is on another level from those guys. He and JJ White
• 37:50
  they talk about TJ. Watt and stuff. Parsons is on another. He
• 37:52
  is on another tier. He is not their equal, He is not their
• 37:55
  pier. This guy can wreck your entire game if you at him, and
• 38:00
  even if you try not to let him, he can wreck your entire game.
• 38:02
  So Dawkins and Spencer Brown because they like to move him around. They
• 38:06
  have better be on their p's and q's and you better give a chip every
• 38:08
  now and then because this, I mean he he literally can wreck your whole
• 38:12
  offense. And it's not it's not hyperbole or anything like that. He's the
• 38:15
  only guy I've ever watched that reminded me of LT. I love Bruce Smith,
• 38:19
  the all time sack leader. Our guy Bruce is probably my number one
• 38:22
  favorite, Bill him or Thurman. But but this guy, this guy Micah
• 38:24
  is so fast quick. He looks like LT. Out there. Man,
• 38:29
  he looks like LT. Like I swear to god, I've never seen anybody
• 38:31
  like him. Super scary, super scary. I mean, Dawkins and Spencer
• 38:37
  Brown better beating like saltines and chicken needles soup all because their stomachs. Their
• 38:42
  stomachs can't be feeling good. You know they church too. Yeah, that
• 38:46
  is not something you want to be looking forward to as an offensive lineman.
• 38:50
  And you know, I spoke about it a few times, and you know
• 38:52
  my playing career, like you knew, you always knew that that uh,
• 38:55
  that badass on the other team when when dude is coming and it was just
• 39:00
  gonna be a horrible day for you, you know, all day long.
• 39:04
  And it's like Stefan Diggs on the other side of the ball, right Obviously
• 39:07
  he's not hitting people or anything like that, but he's always coming at you.
• 39:14
  That dude is a is a game breaker coming at you, you know,
• 39:15
  kind of even more so than Aaron Donald. You know, over the
• 39:20
  past couple of years off he was like the best player in the league and
• 39:22
  this that, and I mean I'm more scared of Michael Parsons, like in
• 39:25
  that type of prime and you know it's he's, yeah, I if I
• 39:30
  do not want to be Spencer Brown or Dan Dawkins. You know, it's
• 39:35
  tough, man, it's a tough matchup. And I know that. You
• 39:40
  know, he'd afraid to play a little cold, play a little dirty and
• 39:45
  get it rolling and who I mean, you're going up. He respects Josh
• 39:49
  Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. As a pass rusher.
• 39:52
  This is the biggest trophy you know you can have is you know,
• 39:54
  take get the better of one of the best quarterbacks in the league. So
• 39:58
  he's chopping at the bitch as much as you know, anybody to get out
• 40:00
  there and wreck our world up on Sunday. So I do not you know,
• 40:07
  either critical adult sweating right now. D Yeah, I do not want
• 40:12
  to mess with that cat. No, man, he is something else.
• 40:15
  He is a problem for sure. Just watching just some of his just watching
• 40:19
  him play the game, it's it's interesting because you never, you never not
• 40:23
  notice him. And I think that that's one of the marks of a great
• 40:25
  players when he can put his imprint on a game, whether it gets a
• 40:29
  sack or not, but creating pressures, making the quarterback move off of this
• 40:32
  platform, different things like that. He's got it all in space. So
• 40:36
  it'll be really interesting to watch now as we begin to wrap up DT.
• 40:39
  You know, we missed last week, so you know, we're not trying
• 40:43
  to dig up old bones or anything like that, but we've got to give
• 40:45
  some thoughts on on on the tie done thing. And it's it's funny because
• 40:47
  before we get the tie done, I had already thought that before the piece
• 40:51
  came out, DT, I had already put in my notes before we got
• 40:53
  sick and we weren't able to go last week, I had already had in
• 40:57
  my notes that, well, DT, you were right. And the reason
• 41:00
  I said that is because when Tim Graham came out with that report after the
• 41:04
  whole McDermott thing, you know, like, hey, listen, there's you
• 41:07
  know, Bills fans. You guys can yell. But I'm hearing from multiple
• 41:10
  sources within the Pagoula circle that he's not even thinking about it, and that
• 41:14
  he loves the stability and he loves the you know, the the professionalism and
• 41:20
  all the different winning that Johan McDermott has done. And once I heard that,
• 41:22
  what did we talk about that entire episode the last time we were on
• 41:25
  We need Dad to hear us in the back of the car yelling and so
• 41:29
  he can pull the car over. Well, it seems like we're just yelling
• 41:31
  into the wind because the only person that matters in that decision at the end
• 41:35
  of the day is you know, Terry pigul And and Kim Pigula. So
• 41:38
  I was interested to see And it was crazy when it came out so fast
• 41:42
  because we had just come out with the episode and everybody's really talking about McDermot
• 41:45
  and when everybody's really mad about the end of the you know, the game
• 41:47
  and the Philly game of the twenty second kneel down, and it came out
• 41:52
  like right away that next day on Monday, that listened Pagoula's not into it,
• 41:55
  and I just thought of you, DT, and it was like,
• 41:58
  wow, DT has been right for over a year that Terry Pagula, our
• 42:02
  owner, our quote unquote Bill's dad is okay with being okay. Now,
• 42:07
  that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to win. There is a difference,
• 42:09
  but it does mean that he is afraid to go after greatness. And what
• 42:14
  I mean, and I can explain that because you were on it, DT
• 42:16
  over a year ago. What that means Nicol City Crew Bill's maffie is that,
• 42:21
  of course, if you fire McDermott, you don't know what the next
• 42:23
  coach is going to be. Of Course, you don't know if you're gonna
• 42:25
  get, you know, a Shane Stichen. You don't know if you're gonna
• 42:29
  get a complete buffoon like a Josh McDaniels. You don't know if you're gonna
• 42:32
  get the next you know, Bill Belichick or if it's on the office side
• 42:37
  of the ball Sean McVay. My point is that you have to be willing
• 42:39
  to try, because if you're not willing to try, nothing changes. So
• 42:43
  if you just stay in the same situation. Nothing is going to change.
• 42:45
  It's going to be the exact same. And that's really how I feel about
• 42:47
  McDermott. And I was hoping that after all of the cumulative gripes that we
• 42:52
  gave Pagoula and that we were screaming in the back seat to Dad, that
• 42:57
  he would at least take a look and take a deeper look into it and
• 43:00
  have an opportunity to kind of take a step back and say, well,
• 43:02
  do I want to go after something? And it seems like Pegoula is scared
• 43:07
  to go after greatness because of the fact that he is okay with it being
• 43:12
  calm right now. And don't please don't talk about my hockey team because my
• 43:15
  hockey team's going through the longest drought in in professional sports, or at least
• 43:19
  in hockey. I know, at least in hockey right now, they're the
• 43:21
  longest at eleven years. And okay, you know, everybody, be calm.
• 43:24
  We've got a great coach. We win a lot of games. We
• 43:28
  don't want to upset the Apple car. I don't want to go out there
• 43:30
  and then get a shitty coach. Then you guys are going to be really
• 43:31
  mad. That I got a shitty coach. My thing is that go try
• 43:36
  something different, Go to the office side of the football, go try something
• 43:38
  different. DT. It is clear to me when that report came out before
• 43:43
  we get the tie done, Tim Grant came out with like the next day
• 43:46
  DT that he's not interested in These are sources, I guess four sources,
• 43:50
  well placed within the organization, well placed within Pagula circle. And we talked
• 43:53
  about it in an episode. I don't know what a billionaire's life is like.
• 43:55
  I don't know who he listens to, if he listens to Jesse Pagoula,
• 43:58
  if he listens to his wife. It was very clear when that report
• 44:01
  came out. Right after that he wanted us to know Bill's mafia and Nichol
• 44:05
  City crew. I'm not changing the coach. I'm very happy with with what
• 44:07
  I got, And that just seems so it just seems like he's very content.
• 44:12
  Yeah, yeah, I mean, and you see it in you can
• 44:15
  see it a lot clearer with the Savers right now. He kind of took
• 44:19
  them over first, and he was a hockey guy. You know, the
• 44:22
  hockey background and you know in Penn State and the loyal and all that and
• 44:27
  all that stuff, and the mission was the win the Stanley Cup. That's
• 44:31
  the only reason for existence. And they haven't even sniffed the flap last year,
• 44:37
  you know. So it's that you see it a lot more clear on
• 44:40
  the Savers side of things, you know, somewhere where it looked like he
• 44:44
  wasn't just a hands off billionaire. He had his hand and you know,
• 44:46
  he had passion for hockey and passion for the city of Buffalo and the team
• 44:51
  and everything right, and you know, you kind of see how it's rolled
• 44:53
  out and there there hasn't been any risks really taken. There hasn't been any
• 44:58
  you know, anything, you know, to to move the meter and make
• 45:00
  it happen. It's just been comfortable and enough to youngest team in the league.
• 45:05
  That's just good enough. And they are good enough because I'm thinking the
• 45:07
  playoffs. On the other side, I think, you know, if we
• 45:10
  didn't get Josh Allen, the same ship would have been happening on the on
• 45:14
  the football side of things, you know, like if we didn't have one
• 45:16
  seven, they would have been you know, nine and eight barely making maybe
• 45:21
  making the playoffs here and there, and from some BS quarterback and you know,
• 45:25
  it's good enough, and it's good enough, and he kind of you
• 45:30
  know the other side of the coin was yeah, yep, and so to
• 45:38
  come in and you know, if we didn't have Josh Allen, didn't have
• 45:42
  all these crazy seasons you know, behind us, it would have been I
• 45:45
  think, the same lay as it is to the Savers. So I'll stick
• 45:50
  to it. You know, thanks for giving me props a year later.
• 45:52
  I appreciate that. It's a tough thing. I don't want to be right
• 45:54
  about, you know, an owner like you know, with with this type
• 45:58
  of money. It's not like this is something new ag Joner either. This
• 46:00
  dude's got Jerry Jones money. This dude has the money with the best of
• 46:04
  them, you know. It's not like he just got this team like he's
• 46:07
  stack stacked up. And then you know the tax issues with the new stadium
• 46:12
  and how people are gonna pay for it in New York and all this and
• 46:15
  back and forth, and it just seems like he enough is enough, but
• 46:21
  not in the yeah, exactly in the right lane of the highway going seventy
• 46:24
  one miles an hour, not changing no matter what. So hopefully that's not
• 46:29
  the you know, we start to I think there's definitely a little more push
• 46:32
  and boost in the football side of things, because it is the biggest entertainment
• 46:37
  business in the world, and the fans are passionate. And now you gave
• 46:40
  the fans a little taste of the of the good stuff, and you know,
• 46:44
  you're you're building a new stadium and all this other stuff that you can
• 46:47
  kind of overlook on the hockey side of things is gonna get a lot more
• 46:51
  serious on the football side of things. And you think it's tough to you
• 46:54
  know, fill a seventeen thousand seed arena for the Savers. You build this
• 47:00
  new stadium and you're charging people ten grand a pop for a personal seat licensing
• 47:04
  fee, and you're not putting product on the field. You're gonna see real
• 47:07
  quick. I mean, the Bills weren't on TV for twenty years because it
• 47:09
  was blacked out. Nobody went to the games, rob So you know,
• 47:14
  it can flip real quick for this cat. And you got to know,
• 47:16
  like he's got to know that, Like you can be okay with Coaston,
• 47:20
  but if it gets dark, it's gonna get real dark on you, real
• 47:22
  quick. And we saw it this year. I mean, a couple bad
• 47:25
  losses and people were losing. We were losing them, everyone was losing.
• 47:30
  So it's because of the expectations have raised, you know. And yeah,
• 47:34
  this isn't no like he can get away with it in the NHL. He
• 47:37
  won't be able to get away with it in the NFL, is my point.
• 47:38
  And so I hope something's got to give. Something changes, a ring
• 47:43
  gets lifted, a parade happens, or you know, we might be in
• 47:45
  a good would be an okay type of situation, which, yeah, it'll
• 47:51
  get it could get nice, you know, because you you continue to waste
• 47:53
  seventeens years and we talked about that at nauseam. You continue to waste these
• 47:58
  great opportunities with him and all of a. Sudd and the team, you
• 48:00
  know, the fans, that your patrons, your customers are going to be
• 48:02
  looking at you a little bit sideways because I think that it is it is
• 48:06
  very clear. Now it's not one hundred percent. It's never one hundred percent
• 48:08
  for anything in life. But I think that a lot of Bills Mafia,
• 48:12
  a lot of Nicol City crew is sick of McDermott. They're sick of the
• 48:15
  conservative nature, They're sick of the kneeling they're sick of the passive aggressive.
• 48:19
  They're sick of the timeouts before or you know, snapshots on defense and wasting
• 48:22
  those away. There's stick of a lot of different things that he does,
• 48:24
  his tendencies, and he continuously goes back to that that might be rubbing some
• 48:29
  people the wrong way. So you might just want to pay attention to what,
• 48:31
  you know, the kids that's screaming in the back that's all you name.
• 48:35
  You don't have to pull over the car you're driving, it's your car,
• 48:37
  but you might want to pay attention a little bit before all of a
• 48:39
  sudden, you know, we're tearing it up in the back seat. And
• 48:42
  like you said, I mean, you know, the new stadium is coming
• 48:44
  and it is a big deal, and I know that it's a big investment
• 48:46
  for them, but it's a big investment for us as well. I mean,
• 48:49
  I'm a season ticket older since two thousand and nine. I mean,
• 48:52
  pretty soon, I'm gonna have to make a big decision on on the bills.
• 48:54
  I'm gonna have to make a big decision on how much do I want
• 48:57
  to follow this this team. In that respect, I could sit here and
• 49:00
  to watch the games or go to a bar or sit in my house and
• 49:01
  cook some wings up with my family. I can do that just as easy
• 49:05
  as as going to the game. So and don't tell the people in Western
• 49:07
  York what to do with their money, because they've got, you know,
• 49:10
  a lot of different things that they can do with their money. So it'll
• 49:13
  be interesting. When you're asking for more money, more commitment from your from
• 49:16
  your customers, you better be uh, you better have the pulse of what
• 49:20
  they want. And if and if McDermott ever runs out of a runway,
• 49:22
  then maybe Dad might want to think about pulling over the car. Now,
• 49:25
  as we wrap up tonight, on that same note, DT, I know
• 49:30
  you and I went back and forth. We do not argue much. We
• 49:32
  are Bill's best friends. The tie Dune piece, man, listen, I
• 49:38
  let's get your thoughts on it first, because listen, I read it,
• 49:42
  and I remember texting you like, how do I get the whole thing?
• 49:45
  Because everybody's talking about it is twenty thousand words and it wasn't twenty thousand on
• 49:47
  the little website. And then I read the whole thing and paid the little
• 49:51
  eight dollars DT. I will I will say that there is there's nothing that
• 49:55
  is there's no new information in there, Okay, So I understand that some
• 50:00
  of the stuff we didn't know about, but all of this is based on
• 50:02
  the past. So I will I'll give you that because I know a little
• 50:06
  bit of your position on this argument. But DT, I mean from the
• 50:08
  Chad Hall shit to to you know, not even just not just the you
• 50:14
  know, the nine to eleven speech, because that that's just, you know,
• 50:16
  a dumb decision and a dumb analogy. But I've made dumb analogies before,
• 50:20
  and so a lot of other people. I understand that maybe he was
• 50:22
  trying to make a make a point. It was a horrible analogy to use
• 50:25
  for effective communication. But listen, DT, this guy is he is he's
• 50:30
  wound tight like a TIMEX like. And I've always said that, and I've
• 50:34
  said, you know, he's a he's a tight ass. And you know,
• 50:37
  I just everything that I read it and everything I thought about Sean McDermott
• 50:43
  was true, you know, every every It just reinforced what I already thought
• 50:46
  about him. So I know that you have some different opinions on it,
• 50:50
  but it made me. It didn't make me like him anymore for sure.
• 50:52
  And I understand that it was strategic in respects to when it was dropped.
• 50:57
  But you had some interesting thoughts on it because you called it, I think
• 50:59
  you call the hit piece, and I've heard that. I've heard that circulating
• 51:02
  around Western and I don't necessarily agree. So please give Nick your thoughts,
• 51:07
  because we don't disagree too often on stuff like this. But sure, I
• 51:10
  love the piece and I was happy to hear some ship that I didn't know,
• 51:14
  even though it was the past. It confirmed what I already thought about
• 51:16
  this guy. This guy's wand like a time X man, he's he wants
• 51:20
  to control everything from from what you're eating to where you're going to to when
• 51:22
  you're going to the bathroom. Sure, sure, and I agree. I
• 51:28
  agree with that. I agree with that, and we've been talking about that,
• 51:30
  and you know, and my main point on this, I didn't need
• 51:34
  the thirty thousand words to get me to, you know, to get rid
• 51:38
  of McDermott. Okay, I didn't need the thirty thoughts for that to happen.
• 51:43
  And you said it back, So you got to split it into two
• 51:45
  things, Okay, McDermott side and the tie dun side. The tie inside.
• 51:50
  I thought it was cheap. I thought this dude just picked the low
• 51:54
  hanging fruit, and you know, it's trying to make us like us,
• 52:01
  you know what we're onund here, we're making media, we're making rolling.
• 52:05
  But you just said it. You paid the eight bucks. I paid the
• 52:07
  a Puckers paid the eight buck and read this article and it was like,
• 52:15
  all right, you know all this stuff. I you know, he's a
• 52:17
  hard ass. You know, he's a head coach in the NFL. If
• 52:21
  there was if there was pieces like this done on every single coach in the
• 52:24
  NFL, I'm not saying they would be exactly the same, but there obviously
• 52:30
  you have to to get to that levels some sort of there's my high school
• 52:36
  coach loved him to death, but he was a crazy motherfucker rob he was,
• 52:40
  you know he was he was strict and this and that and like football
• 52:45
  militant, Like yeah, yeah, And obviously stuff like that happens at the
• 52:52
  NFL level. Obviously, when the stakes are the highest and the pressure of
• 52:55
  the highest, that stuff happens. I'm not justifying him saying anything he did
• 53:00
  in this article was like oh, that wasn't that bad, but like it
• 53:04
  really it was just all showing what bothered you was that you didn't need to
• 53:07
  know because I well what bothered me was it was sheep. Yeah, I
• 53:12
  thought it was cheap. I thought he gave these people, like he gathered
• 53:15
  up a bunch of anonymous people that don't work for the bills anymore or whatever,
• 53:20
  and with them, Yeah, I mean he got shipped about the old
• 53:25
  boss. You could any company anywhere, you get twenty people and line them
• 53:30
  up that used to work at the company and say you're anonymous. You can
• 53:34
  say whatever you want about your old boss and they'll never know. You'd get
• 53:38
  similar stuff, right, And so that's what I kind of thought, Like
• 53:42
  it was just like it was this dude kind of played into the opportunity that
• 53:45
  he knew the mafia would would jump on this, you know, like hotcakes
• 53:51
  and and run like wildfire. And that's exactly what happened. So I mean,
• 53:54
  I guess good for him because he took advantage of a situation for you
• 53:59
  know, for his game. But put Out didn't do it for me.
• 54:02
  I mean, like these stories that were like they just felt cheap to me.
• 54:07
  They just yeah, I mean you know whatever, Like I get that,
• 54:15
  but I can get over that. And really what I saw, like
• 54:19
  the main components of this team are still on this team and still have the
• 54:22
  back of their coach. Her culture is a bad coach, they still have
• 54:27
  his back, so that speaks to who he is. I think overall,
• 54:30
  you know, I think this would be this would be a little louder if
• 54:34
  it was like if it was all the way in the direction of Tide done.
• 54:37
  I think it'd be louder with the voices on this team, with the
• 54:40
  guys who have won super Bowls in this Leaguevon Miller, and you know,
• 54:44
  guys like this on our team that literally not idolized Sean McDermott, but came
• 54:47
  here believing in him. You know, I I think you can find ship
• 54:51
  to talk about any boss anywhere, anytime, from any company. But in
• 54:55
  this case, it just felt like it wasn't needed and was a little cheap,
• 54:59
  and it was a little kind of bs of what it was. I
• 55:01
  mean, do you need it to know? Like I I agree with everything.
• 55:05
  I'm not saying anything in that article wasn't true. I'm not saying I
• 55:07
  don't, but I just think I didn't need it. It felt cheap.
• 55:14
  It felt a little like take the low hanging fruit to you know, to
• 55:19
  somebody that everybody was everybody was already bashing. Everyone's kicking kicking him while he's
• 55:23
  down, and you come in and through the through the chair down on top
• 55:28
  of him. It just wasn't uhary, I thought, and you know,
• 55:32
  as a as a fellow media member, like like, we are trying to
• 55:36
  make it in this in this in this world. Like you look at it,
• 55:38
  like you know, now, why is it so hard to get a
• 55:43
  player to talk, you know, and stuff like that, like on your
• 55:45
  show and get him for a five minute interview and we'd only be doing good
• 55:47
  stuff and praising these guys. But now you've got dudes out here in the
• 55:52
  media doing stuff like that, and it's just like all right, like I'm
• 55:54
  not talking to anybody, you know. Wow, it kind of hurts.
• 55:58
  I felt that too, Like it hurts our brand as like other media outlets
• 56:04
  of like you know, we were we're realistic with our situation, but in
• 56:07
  two or three years, we've grown exponentially in our delivery, in our in
• 56:12
  our following and and everything, and we're trying to make it too. Like
• 56:15
  obviously your dream of ours would be to go big in this right, rob,
• 56:16
  like you want to do that, Like but you know, stuff like
• 56:21
  that kind of takes us back a step because it kind of shows how JV
• 56:24
  it could be, you know, and Jamie like, there was no it
• 56:29
  wasn't a news it wasn't a journalistic article like it was just people talking about
• 56:31
  Shot mcdermy. It wasn't any excited situations and like give and take and both
• 56:37
  sides of the story or anything like that. So I just I just didn't
• 56:42
  need it, and everybody was kind I just was trying to hold the fire
• 56:45
  like of everyone like, oh my god, like no, like relax,
• 56:47
  we already kind of already knew this. Let's take it easy and don't give
• 56:52
  into it. But I paid the eight box and read all thirty thousand words,
• 56:53
  so whatever, Yeah, twenty thousand words. You know, he got
• 56:57
  me to I mean if it was trying to to you know, to to
• 57:00
  get his little hustle on. And I mean you are right about that part.
• 57:01
  I mean we were coming off the Philly games, so this was the
• 57:05
  perfect time to drop something like this because we were all foaming at the mouth
• 57:07
  for him anyway. So I definitely think that it was strategically released for sure.
• 57:12
  And to your point, you know, sal Capaccio said, it,
• 57:15
  you know, right after before leading up to Kansas City game, and then
• 57:19
  after, you know afterwards that everybody says like, we got his back,
• 57:22
  we respect him, you know what I mean, We're here for him,
• 57:23
  We're gonna be you know, and and it can galvanize the team and different
• 57:27
  things like that. And then post game, everybody, you know, you
• 57:29
  heard Brandon Bean, I mean, it meant something in that locker room,
• 57:31
  so that that kind of speaks to your point. I heard Michael Hyde speaking
• 57:34
  about it. It meant something to them in respects to the fact that they
• 57:37
  do have his back. I'll give I will give you that. I I
• 57:39
  think that I can't stand McDermott so much that it was more like a pig
• 57:44
  just rolling in the mud. So I kind of I kind of ate that
• 57:46
  up because of the fact that I already don't like him, and I already
• 57:50
  think a lot of the things about him are are faulty and kind of a
• 57:53
  little bit false and and and you know, just a little bit of a
• 57:55
  I call him a fraud. I mean, I'm not going to back down
• 57:58
  from what I said a couple week to go. So because of that,
• 58:00
  you know, it was kind of it was for me. That was my
• 58:02
  cup of tea. But I totally understand where you're coming from, because the
• 58:06
  players clearly respect him. They have gone up and had his back. They
• 58:09
  said it again after the Kansas City game, and then you hear Brandon being
• 58:13
  in that locker room giving him the game ball and dropping f bombs. I
• 58:15
  mean, they they definitely used it as a as a tool to galvanize them
• 58:20
  leading into that Kansas City game. So if anything to say nothing less,
• 58:23
  they definitely do have respect for him, for sure. The guys that are
• 58:27
  still there, you know, they definitely have some respect for him. And
• 58:29
  then maybe there was a little jealousy on my partner with this too, Rob
• 58:32
  Right, Like, I'll tell you a little story. So in high school
• 58:36
  basketball senior year, I was a pride to myself. As you know,
• 58:38
  I'm a role player. I wasn't scoring thirty at night or anything like that,
• 58:43
  but I pride myself as being a leader of the team and being a
• 58:45
  pride leader and you know, getting everybody pumped up and doing that. That's
• 58:49
  right. I just I want to be the captain of every team I was
• 58:52
  on, and I was except for senior and basketball. The coach, you
• 58:55
  know, gave us a big talk about you know, stepping up and and
• 59:00
  what we needed to do and be leaders and everything like that. Mm hm.
• 59:02
  A couple of drills later were laxa daisical and missing plays, missing drills
• 59:07
  whatever. One of the one of the other guys on the team says,
• 59:12
  all right, stopping the drill. We're getting on the line and we're running,
• 59:15
  you know, we're running, and everyone knew like we had to run,
• 59:21
  and he was only doing it because the coaches said something like twenty minutes
• 59:24
  ago about you know, and then and then at the end of that practice,
• 59:28
  we have the vote for captains, and this dude becomes a captain because
• 59:30
  of that, and it's just like, yeah, you know, so it
• 59:34
  just felt something similar to that, if you can find that analogy of like,
• 59:37
  Okay, yes, we've been on this McDermot criticism. You and me
• 59:40
  have been on this McDermot criticism. We've been the most critical of anybody,
• 59:43
  but it's been all roses. We've been critical, talking about the breadcrumbs,
• 59:46
  talking about the truth in this and that for yous, this this cheap bombshell
• 59:52
  article, and it's like he's discovered that McDermott, like did all this like
• 59:55
  I don't know, Like that's why I was okay, probably that day in
• 59:59
  bast I'm following you, and he was awarded the captain shift when it was
• 1:00:04
  just cheap. Yeah, okay, I can follow you on that analogy for
• 1:00:07
  sure because I was a team captain and I was I won the Coaches Award,
• 1:00:10
  different things like that, So I totally understand. Back at start point,
• 1:00:14
  I I I want you on that for sure. I understand the cheapness
• 1:00:16
  of it, So we'll leave it at that. I mean, you know
• 1:00:19
  Bill's Matfield. You got a chance to read it, didn't read it if
• 1:00:22
  you didn't pay the eight dollars. Don't pay the eight dollars. You can
• 1:00:23
  go to go along TD. He's got a little abbreviated version. Don't don't
• 1:00:27
  give him any more money, I guess on on behalf of d T in
• 1:00:30
  the co City Crew. Don't get he's made enough for sure, because I
• 1:00:32
  heard him on Cal heard he's making his rounds. So he's definitely gotten fat
• 1:00:37
  off of this for sure. Yeah. Yeah, And I definitely now there
• 1:00:39
  was a twins of that too, because I definitely was like, well,
• 1:00:42
  i've been I've been on I've been his harshest critic for years, and I've
• 1:00:45
  been I've known it, and that's kind of what you know. You know
• 1:00:49
  that that last episode that we did, you know, was when I called
• 1:00:52
  him a fraud. I was like, you know, I've been on his
• 1:00:53
  trail, I've been on his ass, so like, this is this is
• 1:00:57
  the guy that I knew that he was. So maybe was again to just
• 1:01:00
  me just being a little bit indulgent and kind of rolling in the mud.
• 1:01:02
  But yes, I can go with you on that, DT. I got
• 1:01:06
  you now Sunday, man, you know it'll be interesting. The Nickel City
• 1:01:10
  Crew tail Gape Report again presented by twenty six Shirts here on Buffalo fan Base
• 1:01:15
  again the Bill's Mafia podcast network. You know, head on over to twenty
• 1:01:19
  six shirts dot com. They've got some new themes that are up there and
• 1:01:22
  I checked them out the other day. They're really cool. Again, every
• 1:01:25
  single purchase they're gonna actually support a great cost. So you definitely get on
• 1:01:30
  the twenty six Shirts dot com. DT. I didn't do much, you
• 1:01:32
  know, we and you were under the weather last week, so I just
• 1:01:35
  watched the games with my kings on Sunday. This week, I will be
• 1:01:37
  I'll be out. I'm not gonna make it up, but I will make
• 1:01:39
  it up for the Patriots game. But this week I'm gonna I'm gonna laying
• 1:01:43
  low. Get back to one hundred percent. Make sure I'm one hundred percent.
• 1:01:45
  We got Christmas coming up soon, so I'm gonna lay low this week.
• 1:01:49
  But what's the plans, man? How did you consume the game?
• 1:01:52
  And what's your plans for Sunday? Yeah, I mean similar that on that
• 1:01:55
  Sunday it was down and own a little bit. So just just took avantage
• 1:02:00
  of my bachelor pad, if you will, and the multiple screen viewership,
• 1:02:04
  and I made it happened. You know, my my roommates Zach, who
• 1:02:07
  was on for the Broncos episode, he had a big one against the Chargers
• 1:02:10
  at the same time. Uh, so you know it was it was we
• 1:02:14
  had the two screens going, two games going, and you know, with
• 1:02:16
  success on both ends. So so that was positive and it was just just
• 1:02:21
  taking it in that way. No no good food or anything like that.
• 1:02:24
  I will say. The wine. The wine is so two years ago when
• 1:02:30
  we were seven and six. By uh it was after I forget which game
• 1:02:37
  it was, but it was after the holidays. Okay, and one of
• 1:02:39
  the buses that were like tailgating, like had a bunch of leftover wine from
• 1:02:44
  a holiday party. So started drinking the wine and then the bills went on
• 1:02:47
  there you know, massive run until the thirteenth second game, right, and
• 1:02:51
  I was like, oh, well, it was a joke, but it
• 1:02:52
  was like instead of you know, beer rub or whatever, we're gonna drink
• 1:02:55
  to drink wind then not a tail date drink nothing like that. But so
• 1:03:02
  that happens. It goes all the way up to thirteen seconds or drinking wine
• 1:03:06
  every game, ready to go for that and six and six happens. My
• 1:03:10
  boys that would do that, we are like breakout the wine court reversal wine
• 1:03:17
  curse. So I you know, I could only have a little bit obviously
• 1:03:21
  Sunday, but the boys, the boys were heavy with it with a couple
• 1:03:23
  of bottles apiece in their head and the wine. The wine's back, all
• 1:03:28
  right, curses back Sunday. I'm gonna make a I'm gonna make a run
• 1:03:34
  back at uh. Well, we'll be out there with Big Ben and k
• 1:03:37
  the whole squad is gonna be out there and so we'll get after it on
• 1:03:40
  Sunday. Rady to go get you know, get get after these cowboys and
• 1:03:44
  have a nice bottle of rose or looking a little different. So yeah,
• 1:03:49
  I love it. That's mix it up, man. I love it.
• 1:03:52
  Man. I have no problem with reversing curses and all that other good stuff,
• 1:03:54
  So I mean, I'm down with it, man, I'm with you
• 1:03:57
  in spirit again. I'll try to get that up there again for the Patriots
• 1:04:00
  game to close the season, and I'll be watching, man, I'll be
• 1:04:03
  right here, and Charlotte, I'll have the zubaz on the on the house,
• 1:04:08
  the light lit up. You know those afternoon four thirty games. It
• 1:04:10
  gets dark quick, so the house will be nice and lit up with the
• 1:04:13
  zuba print. I love it. I love that projector. And I'm just
• 1:04:15
  gonna take it in man, and and and just root my ass off.
• 1:04:18
  Man. Last Sunday was so stressful because I knew how big and important that
• 1:04:23
  game was. I'm yelling at the TV the entire game. I'm yelling at
• 1:04:26
  everything that's going on. And I was so so happy that they pulled out
• 1:04:30
  the wind and we were playing the you know the song that you know was
• 1:04:32
  still alive, you know, ha ha ha stayed alive. I'll playing that
• 1:04:35
  after the game. Like. So we had a great time last week.
• 1:04:38
  We'll do the same thing this week and kind of hang out with the Kings
• 1:04:40
  and consuming And I can't stand Dallas. They're one of my teams that I
• 1:04:44
  can't stand the absolute most. I love rooting against them the like just like
• 1:04:46
  the Patriots because it's those scars from Super Bowls twenty seven and twenty eight.
• 1:04:51
  So I've got no problem getting up for those guys and rooting against them.
• 1:04:55
  So it'll be good. Man, Listen, I really appreciate you your time
• 1:04:58
  to night DT that this is a great episode. Is so great to be
• 1:05:00
  back with you, man, happy that you're feeling healthy again, and and
