- 3:12Speaker 1: So we're back at it. Our lead this hour to
- 3:14Speaker 1: begin the night, a story that is just outstanding made
- 3:18Speaker 1: for sports radio.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Just add water and you're off to the races.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So the post mortem on the whacking heard round the NFL.
- 3:27Speaker 2: They dropped the guillotine on you.
- 3:29Speaker 1: If you're Sean McDermott, heyg on and that led to
- 3:32Speaker 1: a hum dinger of a day, a hum dinger of
- 3:36Speaker 1: the day. You can't handle the truth. So if you
- 3:40Speaker 1: didn't see or hear about this, perhaps not. We taken
- 3:43Speaker 1: out of Western New York, where Bill's owner Terry Pegoula,
- 3:47Speaker 1: is the talk of the town in the NFL, as
- 3:49Speaker 1: he did the thing that not many people do at
- 3:51Speaker 1: the time.
- 3:52Speaker 2: They don't normally do it. So Pecula again.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Another rich guy, aristocrat owns the Buffalo Bills, and he
- 3:58Speaker 1: got up on the podium with GM Brandon Bean and
- 4:02Speaker 1: they teamed up to deliver what can only be called
- 4:04Speaker 1: a hum dinger of a news commerce to try to
- 4:08Speaker 1: explain why they fired head coach Sean McDermott. And you'd say,
- 4:12Speaker 1: pretty easy, pretty easy to say, why you fired the
- 4:15Speaker 1: guy because he kept joking in the playoffs. But it
- 4:17Speaker 1: was much deeper than that. It was much deeper than that.
- 4:20Speaker 1: They didn't just explain the coaching change. They took a
- 4:23Speaker 1: ride on the wild side and I love it so Pagola,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I'll give you some of the hits. It there was
- 4:28Speaker 1: a lie, but I'll give you some of this, Pagola said.
- 4:31Speaker 1: The owner of the Bill said he fired Sean McDermott
- 4:33Speaker 1: because he felt the team hit the proverbial playoff wall
- 4:37Speaker 1: after seven straight trips to the playoffs without appearing in
- 4:41Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Here is just to prove I'm not lying.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Here is Pegoula commenting on what I just said, Just
- 4:48Speaker 1: to prove I'm not a liar.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Take a list.
- 4:50Speaker 3: My decision to bring in a new coach was based
- 4:54Speaker 3: on the results of our game in Denver. I know
- 4:58Speaker 3: we can do better, know we will get better. I
- 5:02Speaker 3: did not fire a coach based on a bad officiating decision.
- 5:06Speaker 3: If I can take you into that locker room, I
- 5:09Speaker 3: felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall, year after year,
- 5:14Speaker 3: thirteen seconds, miss field goals, the catch. I just sensed
- 5:21Speaker 3: in that locker room, like, where do we go from here?
- 5:24Speaker 2: Wall?
- 5:25Speaker 1: Fire the coach. Come on, it's obvious, fire the coach,
- 5:29Speaker 1: all right. So that was that was a big one.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It essentially said the tone I got. I watched this
- 5:34Speaker 1: thing that happened while I was sleeping that I watched
- 5:36Speaker 1: it on the YouTube and it sounded like he just
- 5:39Speaker 1: walked any cid eberyone upset, and so it's like, I'll
- 5:42Speaker 1: fire the coach, all right. So then we get to
- 5:45Speaker 1: the even better stuff. So the owner of the Bills,
- 5:47Speaker 1: this guy, Terry Pagola. He also talked about Keon Coleman.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Now this is a big local issue in Buffalo because
- 5:54Speaker 1: Keon Coleman's not on a wide receiver. The guy sucks, right,
- 5:56Speaker 1: he's terrible. It was I think a second round pick.
- 5:58Speaker 1: The guy can't play, So everyone knows the guy guys,
- 6:03Speaker 1: So Pagola this was actually Brandon being the GM who
- 6:06Speaker 1: was asked about.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Keon Coleman the selection. What went into all of that?
- 6:12Speaker 1: And Pogola actually stepped in the owner of the Buffalo
- 6:17Speaker 1: Bills to answer the question, take a.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Listen, Yeah, can I interrupt, I'll address the Keon situation.
- 6:25Speaker 3: The coaching staff pushed to draft Kean. I'm not saying
- 6:30Speaker 3: Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.
- 6:35Speaker 3: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice
- 6:40Speaker 3: of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player.
- 6:45Speaker 3: And he's taken, for some reason, heat over it and
- 6:51Speaker 3: not saying a word about it. But I'm here to
- 6:54Speaker 3: tell you the true story.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure you are, yes, all right, So there
- 6:58Speaker 1: you go. He said, it's the coach. The owner of
- 7:00Speaker 1: the Bill said, it's the coaches. It's not my buddy,
- 7:03Speaker 1: my buddy Brandon Bean who got promoted. All right, So
- 7:08Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Lots the unpacked
- 7:11Speaker 1: the Bill's owner is getting absolutely cooked for this. It's
- 7:16Speaker 1: been called just one of the most embarrassing things. The
- 7:20Speaker 1: guy's lost it. Al Davis had some of these back
- 7:23Speaker 1: in the day when he was obviously dead now on
- 7:25Speaker 1: the Raiders, So let us discuss the question Terry Pegoula
- 7:29Speaker 1: getting killed for what's being called a disaster class news
- 7:33Speaker 1: conference in Buffalo. People are saying he has damaged the
- 7:37Speaker 1: Bill's brand? Is that how you see it? So I've
- 7:41Speaker 1: got director's cut, Mazzarella, sticks, and anchorman, and we will
- 7:47Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we were going
- 7:50Speaker 1: to make a trip over Niagara Falls, because this felt
- 7:54Speaker 1: like a trip over Niagara Fall.
- 7:55Speaker 2: It was pretty good. I gotta tell you.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I woke up to a bunch of text message to
- 8:00Speaker 1: some people, head you see what the the Bill's owned to?
- 8:02Speaker 2: What do you do? You know, I didn't know what happened.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I was like, and I was kind of half half
- 8:06Speaker 1: sleeping still and I picked up my phone. Oh my god,
- 8:09Speaker 1: what I wanted?
- 8:09Speaker 4: Some of them?
- 8:10Speaker 2: Good must have happened. And then yep, yep, pretty good,
- 8:12Speaker 2: pretty good?
- 8:13Speaker 4: All right?
- 8:13Speaker 1: So my first thought on this to answer the question,
- 8:15Speaker 1: you know, people are saying that the Bill's.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Brand has been damaged? Is that how you see it?
- 8:19Speaker 1: So the answer is no, Everyone who's clutching their pearls
- 8:24Speaker 1: here and letting out a primal screen because Terry Pagoula
- 8:27Speaker 1: went off script.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Oh my god, the older talked. He said the thing
- 8:32Speaker 2: that you're not.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Supposed I mean, come on, listen, please, This didn't damage
- 8:37Speaker 1: the buff of the Bills brand. In fact, I'll be
- 8:39Speaker 1: the contrarian here behind the microphone, and I will say
- 8:43Speaker 1: that this made it more compelling, like this is must
- 8:46Speaker 1: see TV, must hear radio. We finally got the director's cut,
- 8:52Speaker 1: not the Disney edit, not filtered. This was classic old
- 8:56Speaker 1: guy Philipbuster. We all hope to get old enough so
- 8:59Speaker 1: we just don't give an f anymore. You get to
- 9:01Speaker 1: a certain age and you see this all day. You
- 9:03Speaker 1: got the restaurants or whatever, the old guy that just
- 9:06Speaker 1: doesn't give a crap, right and just goes for it
- 9:08Speaker 1: and says whatever the things that polite society you're not
- 9:11Speaker 1: supposed to say. You say when you get to a
- 9:13Speaker 1: certain age, because you figure, hey, I got unlimited time left,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm enjoying myself. So Terry Pegoula was passionately
- 9:20Speaker 1: defending the general manager of the Buffalo Bills, this guy
- 9:23Speaker 1: Brandon Bean. As you heard there like a proud dad
- 9:26Speaker 1: at a little league game.
- 9:28Speaker 2: My boy did not want that draft pick. He did
- 9:31Speaker 2: not want that turd, did not want it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the kids standing out in the outfield, that's Keon
- 9:39Speaker 1: Coleman out there catching strays like it's duck season. And
- 9:42Speaker 1: Coleman in the middle seat on a cross country flight.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Elbows on both sides, no arm, reds, no leg room,
- 9:50Speaker 1: nowhere to go.
- 9:52Speaker 2: You are trapped.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You are trapped, and the owner is saying, the owner
- 9:55Speaker 1: of the Bills saying eh, the coaches wanted the jam
- 9:59Speaker 1: says offing, of course, and then the player's stuck holding
- 10:03Speaker 1: the bag. Of course he should hold his duffel bag
- 10:05Speaker 1: because there's no way he comes back to the Bills.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Right.
- 10:07Speaker 2: That's it.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And it's not that he didn't earn it. Keon Coleman
- 10:12Speaker 1: was not good at his job. He was a healthy scratch.
- 10:15Speaker 1: There was some behind the scenes issues there multiple games,
- 10:19Speaker 1: as I remember.
- 10:20Speaker 2: So this is not a brand damage.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Though I wouldn't go that far. I think of it
- 10:26Speaker 1: like the old Mad TV back in the day. If
- 10:28Speaker 1: you remember that dysfunction junction, how do you function? It's
- 10:31Speaker 1: compelling dysfunction. That's the Bills, baby, and hey, it's good,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's great.
- 10:38Speaker 2: People Oh, the Bill's mafia. The fan base is upset.
- 10:41Speaker 1: They sure they're upset because they keep losing in the
- 10:43Speaker 1: playoffs and they like McDermott, and they'll get over it
- 10:45Speaker 1: once September comes around. They'll pick somebody new in the
- 10:49Speaker 1: draft and they'll hire a coach. He'll say all the
- 10:51Speaker 1: right and bull crap, and then everyone will be back
- 10:53Speaker 1: on the bandwagon. We get back to September now, page two.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Staying with the Bills though, So the question here the owner,
- 11:01Speaker 1: Terry Pagool has said that he's not going to tell
- 11:03Speaker 1: the next Bill's coach it's super Bowl or bust, whoever
- 11:07Speaker 1: that might be. They haven't replaced Sean McDermott. But the
- 11:10Speaker 1: owner is like, well, I'm not gonna say it's super
- 11:11Speaker 1: Bowl or bus. So the question is why not?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Why not? All right?
- 11:16Speaker 1: And my response would be because some things in life don't
- 11:19Speaker 1: need to be said. It's kind of like when you
- 11:20Speaker 1: get on an airplane. You know, you don't tell the pilot, hey,
- 11:24Speaker 1: try not to crash the plane. I mean, you don't
- 11:26Speaker 1: need to say that, right. If you're you're going into
- 11:29Speaker 1: the operating room, you don't tell the search and try
- 11:30Speaker 1: to get the right Kidney place.
- 11:32Speaker 2: You know, you don't know, it's implied. This isn't a
- 11:35Speaker 2: starter job.
- 11:36Speaker 1: That we're not talking about going to Ikea and buying
- 11:38Speaker 1: a bookshelf and you're missing half the screws and the
- 11:41Speaker 1: Allen Ranches bent and you're like, ah, crap, this thing
- 11:45Speaker 1: is already built. It's already built that. The Bills are
- 11:48Speaker 1: a frozen food delicacy.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Think about it, like you had to Walmart and you
- 11:52Speaker 2: got every.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Possible frozen food you could want, right, and so you
- 11:57Speaker 1: go through there. You look, they got the frozen vegetables.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You don't want to part of that. I got some
- 12:01Speaker 1: ice cream, but you know about that. So then they've
- 12:03Speaker 1: got some fries, some potatoes, some onion rings, things like that.
- 12:07Speaker 1: But then you see the mozzarella sticks. You grab the
- 12:09Speaker 1: mozzarella sticks, and that's Buffalo buffaloes. The mozzarella sticks. You
- 12:12Speaker 1: don't cook them from scratch, they're already pre made. You
- 12:15Speaker 1: just toss them in the air fryer for five minutes.
- 12:17Speaker 1: You don't screw that up. Boom, you got mozzarella sticks.
- 12:21Speaker 1: The Bills have an MVP quarterback. Granted it was kind
- 12:24Speaker 1: of a flimsy MVP, but they have an MVP quarterback.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Check that box. The roster that's been nibbling among the
- 12:31Speaker 1: top teams in the NFL for many years now, So
- 12:34Speaker 1: check that. And the clock, though, is ticking. You got
- 12:38Speaker 1: about two to four years, depending on how this thing
- 12:41Speaker 1: goes with Josh Allen, before the Bills start coming due.
- 12:44Speaker 1: After that, well after that it gets ugly, ugly with.
- 12:49Speaker 2: A capitol you. So you're talking about roster.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Rot and bad vibes and all that stuff. So Pagola,
- 12:56Speaker 1: the owner here, he doesn't have to formally and super
- 13:00Speaker 1: Bowl or boss doesn't have to say that because it's
- 13:03Speaker 1: already tattooed on the job description. If you read the minutia,
- 13:07Speaker 1: the fine print there, you will see that that is
- 13:10Speaker 1: the way it is now. The last word here. So
- 13:13Speaker 1: following the Buffalo Bluster, reports came out of Western New
- 13:17Speaker 1: York claiming that a I love this, A source close
- 13:20Speaker 1: to Josh Allen said that the Bills quarterback had faith
- 13:26Speaker 1: in the leadership of the team under the owner Terry
- 13:28Speaker 1: Pagoula and Brandon Bean and will take an active role,
- 13:33Speaker 1: an active role in participating in the upcoming head coaching
- 13:36Speaker 1: interview process.
- 13:38Speaker 2: So that was the way it was reported there, and.
- 13:42Speaker 1: More likely than not, is Josh Allen calling one of
- 13:44Speaker 1: his buddies, the Beat writer, texting him saying, I gotta
- 13:48Speaker 1: get some message out right now.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Can you help me out? Sure, I'll help you out.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Why not? All right? Question?
- 13:52Speaker 1: So, Josh Allen, if this report is accurate, Josh Allen
- 13:55Speaker 1: is said to have quote faith in the Bills leadership.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Is this solid or shaky? All right?
- 14:03Speaker 4: So?
- 14:03Speaker 2: This is the word I will use on This is diplomacy.
- 14:08Speaker 1: This isn't necessarily believe. It's like a hostage note written
- 14:14Speaker 1: with a nice smiley face. You wrote a little smiley
- 14:18Speaker 1: face there on your hostage note.
- 14:19Speaker 2: You're talking about a.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Guy that is the former MVP who's playing the role
- 14:25Speaker 1: in this chapter of the book as a statesman. Because
- 14:28Speaker 1: what else on God's green Earth is he gonna do?
- 14:32Speaker 1: Is he gonna act like Bill's Mafia and flip a
- 14:34Speaker 1: table and light it on fire in Orchard Park and
- 14:38Speaker 1: jump on it.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Is that what he's gonna do?
- 14:39Speaker 1: Please Josh Allen's camp that everyone's dealing with this organizational whiplash,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and I love it.
- 14:46Speaker 2: It's great.
- 14:47Speaker 1: I have no skin in the game. Not in Finally,
- 14:49Speaker 1: on Bill's Monster, Derek and Felexus and the other people.
- 14:52Speaker 1: We have their bills fans in that part. We have
- 14:54Speaker 1: a lot of people in Buffalo.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Love the show. It's great. But in about five minutes
- 14:59Speaker 2: I'm using Mallard time.
- 15:00Speaker 1: But in about five minutes Bill's Mafia went from chest
- 15:03Speaker 1: thumping a playoff victory over, you know, just feeling good,
- 15:07Speaker 1: good playoff vibes.
- 15:08Speaker 2: They watched the whole thing tip over like a.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Drunk guy going out to get the mail on a
- 15:14Speaker 1: walking on his driveway to go down to get the
- 15:15Speaker 1: mail and.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Slips and falls and all that.
- 15:17Speaker 1: They go from beating Jacksonville late on a wild wild
- 15:21Speaker 1: Card weekend, everyone's feeling all warm and fuzzy.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Oh it's great.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Then overtime roadkill in Denver late against the Broncos, splat
- 15:31Speaker 1: windshield wipers can't keep up with the mess, and Josh
- 15:34Speaker 1: Allen turns into Anchorman's ron Burgundy, a glass case of emotion.
- 15:40Speaker 2: The owner walks into the locker.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Room, sees tears, panics, hits the big bed, the big
- 15:47Speaker 1: red button had a giant red button, hits that and
- 15:50Speaker 1: and wax the coach and then you're like, wow, that
- 15:54Speaker 1: escalated quickly, right, So if Josh Allen hadn't cried, would
- 15:59Speaker 1: you have kept showing Ian mcdham. I think that that
- 16:02Speaker 1: part of it is it smells like manure to me.
- 16:05Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Because the issue was they kept losing. It wasn't that
- 16:10Speaker 1: they got emotional. If anything, getting emotional would indicate that
- 16:15Speaker 1: they care about the coach. You would want to keep
- 16:16Speaker 1: the coach, wouldn't that be the case? Like these guys
- 16:18Speaker 1: really love this guy and they felt bad. The other
- 16:22Speaker 1: thought I had was the players knew that if they
- 16:24Speaker 1: didn't win that game that Sean mcdertt was going to
- 16:27Speaker 1: be fired, and they were bummed out about that. And
- 16:29Speaker 1: it's kind of how I relate. I've worked here at
- 16:31Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio pretty much my entire adult life. We've
- 16:34Speaker 1: had many people run the company, and every time the
- 16:37Speaker 1: boss changes, you always get kind of this weird feeling
- 16:39Speaker 1: in your stomach. You're like, oh, crap, I might have
- 16:41Speaker 1: to go work somewhere else, you know, and and you
- 16:43Speaker 1: just keep doing it. But because every boss has their favorites, right,
- 16:47Speaker 1: every boss, no matter what the job is, whether it's
- 16:49Speaker 1: I work in radio, whatever your job is.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Well, it's got favorites. Like parents have favorite kids, you know.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Just the way it is, and so you're always like,
- 16:56Speaker 1: oh no, you got a kind of new boss is
- 16:58Speaker 1: going to come in, not gonna like me, Ah crap,
- 17:01Speaker 1: what am I gonna do?
- 17:02Speaker 2: And all that stuff. But it is fascinating, you know.
- 17:04Speaker 1: And Josh Allen right now, you know, the cartoon bubble
- 17:07Speaker 1: in my head. He's saying all the right things right now.
- 17:09Speaker 1: He's the statesman. He's sweeping up the glass, he's taping
- 17:13Speaker 1: the bumper back on, and really, what choice does he have,
- 17:16Speaker 1: Josh Allen.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Is the Buffalo bills.
- 17:19Speaker 1: He can't demo the building because he's still that's where
- 17:22Speaker 1: he works. You can't demo the building you work in.
- 17:25Speaker 1: You're still inside. And in terms of the word faith, yeah, sure,
- 17:29Speaker 1: it feels less less like belief though, it's more like
- 17:33Speaker 1: survival mode. And it's not really solid.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Ground right now.
- 17:36Speaker 1: It's gonna thin ice and we'll see if.
- 17:39Speaker 2: The bill's higher here.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Some of the names that have been mentioned for that
- 17:42Speaker 1: Buffalo job are not the most exciting names.
- 17:44Speaker 2: They don't get you all aroused there, they don't. So
- 17:47Speaker 2: we'll see where this goes. But man, what a mess

- 22:26Speaker 1: Back to it right, back to it we go and
- 22:30Speaker 1: late night drug tester. Right, since his Bill's ownership is
- 22:33Speaker 1: even steven, the football team at least makes the playoffs. Meanwhile,
- 22:36Speaker 1: the Sabers haven't been in the playoffs since Obama was
- 22:40Speaker 1: handing out phones to your overnight callers. Thank god for
- 22:43Speaker 1: President Obama. Without him giving out the Obama phone, I'd
- 22:46Speaker 1: have no one calling the show without I mean, we
- 22:49Speaker 1: have the highest percentage of Obama phones that call this show.
- 22:53Speaker 1: It's wow, freaking dad, damn right, Fernd, I want one too.
- 22:58Speaker 2: It's great. Smartphone for owns is one hundred and eighty
- 23:01Speaker 2: dollars a month. How does that make any sense? Yeah,
- 23:05Speaker 2: that's a little that's a little much. Yeah, I want
- 23:08Speaker 2: Obama phone. Do you want to?
- 23:10Speaker 1: Like in the old days, and you're not that old,
- 23:12Speaker 1: but they used to charge for long distance phone calls
- 23:15Speaker 1: back in.
- 23:16Speaker 2: The old b oh ye yeah, and also used to
- 23:17Speaker 2: be like you'd pay for each text message you sent singularly.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you paid for each text message? Well,
- 23:23Speaker 2: but I would.
- 23:24Speaker 3: My cousin actually made fun of me for this because
- 23:25Speaker 3: my dad we got a phone bill once and I
- 23:27Speaker 3: had over seventy five thousand text messages to my boyfriend
- 23:30Speaker 3: that month.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Seventy five thousand. It's a little much. You know, you
- 23:34Speaker 2: might want to step back off the gas a little bit.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I'm just saying what. Yeah.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I remember when text messaging started and I was completely
- 23:44Speaker 1: against it. I said, that's ridiculous, why would we do that.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Now I'm at the point where I don't want anyone
- 23:52Speaker 1: to call me. I get offended and keep the phone,
- 23:54Speaker 1: you know, just want them to text me. I've done
- 23:56Speaker 1: a one eighty.
- 23:56Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't just text me.
- 23:58Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you, and says I
- 24:00Speaker 1: don't really care for Terry Pagoula, but I'm a big
- 24:03Speaker 1: fan of his daughter, Jessica Pegoula, who's got a huge
- 24:08Speaker 1: match this Friday in the Australian Open. Not that I need,
- 24:12Speaker 1: not that I need to remind you, Ben, I know
- 24:15Speaker 1: you are all over the Aussie Open looking for content.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Damn right. Yes, I love my well.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I like New Zealand more than Australia, although we do
- 24:22Speaker 1: have great listeners in Australia and I can't rip Australia
- 24:26Speaker 1: because we are on there live. Can you believe that
- 24:28Speaker 1: we're actually broadcasting live? It's how many hours had stay? Yeah,
- 24:32Speaker 1: it's it's a whole different world. But we're there and
- 24:35Speaker 1: so we're we're in the past and we love them
- 24:37Speaker 1: and then so it's great. King Rory writes in and
- 24:40Speaker 1: says it was only a matter of time that McDermott
- 24:44Speaker 1: was going to get sealed Team six by the Bills
- 24:47Speaker 1: and this has to put more pressure on Lafleur and
- 24:52Speaker 1: the Packers. Lafleur and McDermott have a similar resume in
- 24:55Speaker 1: the playoffs, yet one was rewarded.
- 24:57Speaker 2: While the other was fired. It makes no sense.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Well, the only thing about that is the argument is
- 25:03Speaker 1: that the Bills with Josh Allen is.
- 25:04Speaker 2: A clearly better player than Jordan Love.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Right, Jordan Love's inconsistent and all that has moments where
- 25:09Speaker 1: he looks really good and then stretches where he's terrible.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been more consistently good. He's turned the
- 25:16Speaker 1: ball over a lot here recently. Gunner who's in Minnesota,
- 25:20Speaker 1: and he remember he's the guy that told us the
- 25:22Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers is going to be the Ola rams.
- 25:24Speaker 2: That was his big prediction.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Worked out very well, he says, I hope my Carolina
- 25:28Speaker 1: Panthers now hires Sean McDermott as the defensive coordinator.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Be a great. He was great in Carolina's gunner. What's
- 25:36Speaker 2: that one saying? You can hope in one hand and
- 25:39Speaker 2: yeah in the other, and see which one.
- 25:41Speaker 1: I think we know which one's going to fill up there? Yeah,
- 25:44Speaker 1: I think we know how that's going to go. And
- 25:47Speaker 1: Nature voices the Bills just missed getting Robert Salah missed
- 25:51Speaker 1: it by that much. A lot of people enjoying the
- 25:56Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's drama here. People who are not Bills fans.
- 25:59Speaker 1: They your boy says, answering the call to the Wiless
- 26:02Speaker 1: is tough to be a Buffalo Bill.
- 26:03Speaker 2: It's not easy. There.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Page Nan I can't read that.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Let's see, we'll skip over that one. Lot of random
- 26:14Speaker 1: Lebron messages. Anyway, if you want to be part of this,
- 26:16Speaker 1: you can join us here on ex at Ben Mahler.
- 26:19Speaker 1: That's at Ben malor if you'd like to be part
- 26:22Speaker 1: random message from Brock. This is called the non sequitur.
- 26:26Speaker 1: And Brock writes in and says shay Jilgis. Alexander scored
- 26:30Speaker 1: forty points on sixteen of nineteen. So good again, Yes,
- 26:35Speaker 1: he's a that's just in. He's apparently good at basketball.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Apparently he's good at basketball. Eight seven, seven ninety nine
- 26:42Speaker 1: on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine
- 26:45Speaker 1: six six three sixt nine.
- 26:47Speaker 2: So the national.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Championship in college football was handed out the other day
- 26:52Speaker 1: as Indian the greatest upset of the modern here in
- 26:57Speaker 1: college football, beating all the big powerful schools and winning
- 27:01Speaker 1: the national championship.
- 27:03Speaker 2: And so you have just won.
- 27:05Speaker 1: The Heisman, the college football playoff title, the whole thing.
- 27:10Speaker 2: You are, Fernando Mendoza. What are you going to do now?
- 27:13Speaker 4: All right?
- 27:14Speaker 2: So the options are A.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Go get hammered somewhere, just get completely blackout drunk. B
- 27:22Speaker 1: go to Disney World, or c go.
- 27:26Speaker 2: On and update your profile on a job hunting website.
- 27:32Speaker 2: The answer would be ding ding ding ding ding. See yes,
- 27:34Speaker 2: do you see this? Yeah? So, Fernando Mendoza, who is
- 27:40Speaker 2: going to be drafted, We don't know where. It's going
- 27:42Speaker 2: to be such a mess. If he's drafted with the
- 27:44Speaker 2: very first pick of the draft, Holy crap, he's not
- 27:46Speaker 2: that good. Anyway, in terms of the NFL world.
- 27:49Speaker 1: So Fernando Mendoza updated his LinkedIn page and he wrote
- 27:56Speaker 1: a long manifesto. This is I guess he doesn't really
- 28:00Speaker 1: need to worry about employment. I think he'll be taking
- 28:03Speaker 1: care of financially. I think he's in good shape there.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And just in case, just in case, he wanted people
- 28:10Speaker 1: to know.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Here's what he wrote.
- 28:12Speaker 1: He said, Monday night, my teammates and I had the
- 28:15Speaker 1: honor of raising the national championship trophy, Fernando Mendoza wrote,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and bringing a college football title back to Bloomington, Indiana
- 28:23Speaker 1: for the first time in history.
- 28:25Speaker 2: That's a bit of a humble brag.
- 28:26Speaker 1: With the guidance of our coaches and the unwavering support
- 28:29Speaker 1: of Hoo's your nation, which didn't even know they had.
- 28:32Speaker 2: A football team two years ago.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Anyway, our band of brothers made the unbelievable believable.
- 28:37Speaker 2: That's true.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Then he says, here's what winning a national championship taught me.
- 28:44Speaker 2: And then he went point by point. I won't go
- 28:46Speaker 2: through the whole thing, but he said number one, he said,
- 28:49Speaker 2: believe in yourself.
- 28:51Speaker 1: He says, four years ago, I was a two star
- 28:53Speaker 1: recruit playing high school football thirty minutes from hard Rock
- 28:57Speaker 1: Stadium with a dream of playing at the highest level.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Mendoza rod, two days ago, I became a national champion
- 29:03Speaker 1: in the same stadium, surrounded by family and.
- 29:07Speaker 2: All of that. He said, to take a risk.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Uh, And then he was bragging about the fourth and
- 29:15Speaker 1: five at the twelve yard line and go for it,
- 29:17Speaker 1: although that was not his call, right that was that
- 29:20Speaker 1: was the coach's call. That wasn't his decision. And then
- 29:23Speaker 1: he said the third thing was remember who got you there?
- 29:26Speaker 1: And he's you got to thank your teammates, coaches, support staff, professors.
- 29:31Speaker 1: How many classes do you think, Fernanda Mendoza goes to.
- 29:34Speaker 2: I don't know, even a lot. I have no idea.
- 29:36Speaker 2: I'm not there there you go. Could that be? Is
- 29:41Speaker 2: this like trolling? I don't I don't know. I don't know.
- 29:43Speaker 2: That's of course, there's always when you're when you're that
- 29:46Speaker 2: level athlete, there's always a well, this is like the
- 29:48Speaker 2: greatest you know athlete, blah blah blah blah blah. You
- 29:51Speaker 2: know this, this, that and the other thing.
- 29:53Speaker 1: And uh, you know that the fanboys love whatever these
- 29:56Speaker 1: guys do.
- 29:56Speaker 2: So anyway, let's go to the phones. And let's see
- 30:00Speaker 2: here any meany miny moment to blindfold myself and press
- 30:04Speaker 2: the number. Let's go. Uh, let's go to line one.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Matt is in death. Matt is gone. That was in death.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I wanted hopefully Matt will call back because the line
- 30:14Speaker 1: on my board seemed very interesting, So hopefully Matt will
- 30:17Speaker 1: call back. Let's go to Jed who fled? Who is
- 30:22Speaker 1: next in the Sunshine State? And he's mister Sunshine himself,
- 30:26Speaker 1: Jed who fled?
- 30:27Speaker 8: Hello, Jed, I just had a line on my mirror
- 30:30Speaker 8: rights one of me, dude is not here anymore.
- 30:31Speaker 5: But it was interesting.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure you.
- 30:38Speaker 5: All right, But Matt Matt called back in dude, because
- 30:40Speaker 5: really it's hard to be interesting, right when the when
- 30:43Speaker 5: the spotlight? Do you remember that who wants to be
- 30:44Speaker 5: a millionaire? And it was like the side of the
- 30:47Speaker 5: life got lower in the crowd in the pressure cooker likes.
- 30:51Speaker 5: That's what it's like on Fox Sports Radio going to
- 30:54Speaker 5: mallor that.
- 30:55Speaker 1: People do not realize the difficulty. You don't know when
- 30:58Speaker 1: I'm going to go to you, and then when that
- 31:00Speaker 1: light comes on. So you're on the stage, you're on
- 31:02Speaker 1: Broadway and you have to perform. It's a one hundreds
- 31:06Speaker 1: of thousands of people.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It's amazing.
- 31:09Speaker 8: Imagine you know when you think you're you're talking to
- 31:11Speaker 8: somebody that doesn't even matter, and the embassment when you're like,
- 31:14Speaker 8: you know, the uh, the thing because because you know,

- 31:22Speaker 5: The thing he couldn't go the deculation. It is, well,
- 31:24Speaker 5: that's that's what he is. Whenever you can't think of
- 31:26Speaker 5: any word because you want to sound so smart, and
- 31:29Speaker 5: at the moment that you want to sound so smart,
- 31:31Speaker 5: you sound really stupid. It's like when you're trying to
- 31:34Speaker 5: impress the girl and you're like, I'm gonna say something awesome,
- 31:37Speaker 5: and then you're just like, hey, sexual agendo and it frops,
