Because we're coming up on our second anniversary and kind

61
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,159
of debating what we're going to do and when we

62
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,759

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,120
thanks to you, and thanks to our great sponsors who've

64
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,960

who by the way, I don't know if you know this,

66
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,080
but bTB has dropped their winter specials and one of

67
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,160

can't thank you enough. Things got a little topsy turvy

121
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240
for me today. And uh, but I did want to

122
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,000
talk to you, and you were gonna be on with

123
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,399
us to talk about the exciting game in Buffalo. I

124
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:55,360
mean that was just nuts and we'll get into all that,

125
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:58,839
but I gotta tell you like parenting, and I think

126
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,439
you'll be able to late to this a little bit

127
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:06,040
better than maybe some other people. With Jamison, you know,

128
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:09,319
he's he's fourteen, wanting to try out for basketball, big

129
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,800
big focus for him, and yet at the same time

130
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:16,680
is absolutely petrified to try out for basketball, like it's

131
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,199
been it's been this like tug of war thing. And

132
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600
then on the way back from Thanksgiving, he's telling me

133
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,800
about how he really, you know, basketball, he wants that

134
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,839
to be his path and you know this and that

135
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,639
and the other thing. And then last night I don't

136
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,279
think slept at all. He was up by five a

137
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,399
m h. And then I get a text later in

138
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:39,200
the day saying, Dad, I don't want to do this.

139
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:41,240
I think I just want to go to a cyo

140
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,879
basketball you know, a league or something like that. I

141
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,120
think it would be better. I don't. I don't think

142
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:48,919
I'm ready. I don't think this. I don't think that.

143
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:53,120
So I had In the meantime, I'm scrambling.

144
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: Normal all normal and natural reactions one hundred.

145
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: So here's where things get a little funky for me,

146
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,559
because now I'm caught in the middle of this because

147
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:06,399
I had to take him out early the day. They

148
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,840
had a meeting, so we're a little behind on getting

149
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:13,360
stuff in and I'm, you know, emailing back and forth

150
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:15,480
with different coaches and things. And I got to tell

151
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,399
you that, like the team where he's at has been

152
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360
so amazingly wonderful. I have been blown away. And I

153
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:28,120
told that to the athletic director today. So I say

154
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,720
to him. He says to me, when I pick him up,

155
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,919
you're disappointed, your you're upset, and I said, I'm not.

156
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:35,679
I said, this is your choice, and he goes, well,

157
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:42,279
that's a passive aggressive thing, and I said, and I said,

158
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,039
it's really not, because it is your choice and that's it.

159
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
And I said, I don't really want to say anything

160
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,639
because I don't want you to think I'm being passive aggressive.

161
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:53,399
That's horrible. I don't want to do that to you

162
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,279
and this. So we go home and he said, well,

163
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,960
I just think you're disappointed, and you know, I know

164
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,320
you really wanted me to do this. And I said, why,

165
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,919
I think you really wanted you to do this. So

166
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,200
he decides when he gets home, he's going to take

167
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,399
a shower and I'm thinking and I'm thinking, and he

168
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,440
comes out and I say to him, hey, listen, have

169
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,080
a seat for a second. I said, I've been thinking

170
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,480
about what you said and how you said. I'm disappointed.

171
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,080
And I said, I'm not disappointed if this is your choice,

172
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,639
but I am disappointed because I don't think it's the

173
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,519
choice you want to make. And I wish you would

174
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,279
just push through the fear. I'm disappointed that you're not

175
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,639
pushing through the fear, I said, because there's going to

176
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,320
be other moments in life where you're going to have

177
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,519
to push through that fear. And I said. Then he goes, fine,

178
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,919
I'll do it. I don't want to talk about it. Anymore.

179
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,840
And as it turned out, since not all the paperwork

180
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,919
was in, I went and I said to him, then

181
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,399
we'll go and watch. You'll see what it's like. You'll see,

182
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,320
you know, how they're running things, and you'll have a

183
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,240
leg up and hopefully everything gets cleared by tomorrow and

184
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:59,200
you can participate in the in day two of the tryouts.

185
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,840
And they were all cool, right, So we went and

186
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:04,360
we watched, and I think it changed the perspective. But

187
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,720
there is that thing in life where everybody has that

188
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,679
human experience where you push through fear. And I go, Man,

189
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,879
if there's anybody I know who was pushed through fear

190
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:17,240
from you know, football and then playing at the collegiate

191
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,360
level and pushing yourself through law school, I mean, don't

192
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:24,240
tell me that there wasn't fear along the way, or

193
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:26,559
at a couple of moments going what the f am

194
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080
I doing? You know, I gotta think.

195
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,639
Speaker 2: Bill, I mean, every step along the way, there was

196
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,200
that fear. And the fear is failure, right. The fear

197
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,080
is letting my parents down and failing, and then letting

198
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,720
my family down and failing, and you know, and then

199
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,840
being judged is not being the person who I wanted

200
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,279
to be. And you know, I mean the easiest story

201
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,840
I can tell you about the fear of failure and

202
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,279
not in questioning whether I was worthy or whether I

203
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,200
had what it took. Just like Jameson went through that,

204
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,360
I was. I was at law school, yeah, and I

205
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,440
was out in Ohio all by myself the first time

206
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,320
in my life. I was really ever away from home

207
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,080
where I couldn't be and see my parents in like

208
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,840
an hour or so. And I'm out there on an

209
00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:18,039
island and I before school even started. Classes hadn't even

210
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:21,080
started yet. And I called my dad up and I

211
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,799
was like, Dad, I don't belong here. I don't belong here.

212
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,159
The people here smart, I don't fit in. I'm in

213
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,799
the middle of nowhere in Ohio. This isn't the right

214
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,759
thing for me. And my dad was like, look, you've

215
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,360
never quit anything. He goes, you got to give it

216
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:38,559
a try. He goes, You're quitting before you're even starting,

217
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:40,679
so you don't even know what you're quitting on. What

218
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,960
you're quitting on is is a fear of not succeeding.

219
00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:46,879
He's the only way you can improve yourself, the only

220
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:48,879
way you can move to the next level. The only

221
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,240
way you can grow is by going through these stages

222
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,799
of fear and breaking through it. You're going to find

223
00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:56,759
out what your ceiling is. You can never touch your

224
00:12:56,759 --> 00:13:01,080
ceiling unless you unless you fail. Right, And he goes, look,

225
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,039
do me a favor, He goes, finish the first week,

226
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,840
stay there for a week. If after a week you

227
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,159
feel like you don't belong and this isn't the right

228
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,279
thing for you, that's fine, he goes, Whatever you do,

229
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720
I support you, he goes, But I want you to

230
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,919
three yourself. I want you to give yourself a week.

231
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:21,600
By the third day I was there, I was good. Yeah, right,

232
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:27,080
but I had I needed that. You know, my dad

233
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:29,399
and just like you, you're you're not going to be

234
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:32,519
disappointed in him. No, if you try something and fails.

235
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,120
And I think what you were saying, and what my

236
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000
dad was saying, is that the disappointment comes in where

237
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:41,480
you don't feel the comfort or the security in the

238
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,799
relationship to try something and fail, right, exactly, the biggest

239
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,480
successes come after failures.

240
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you know, and I said to him, what's

241
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,519
the worst that's going to happen. You're going to be

242
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,039
right where you are today, right if you don't make

243
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,720
the team. And so then we went there. I think

244
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,240
he felt a lot better and hopefully all the paperwork

245
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,039
there's things from because he was living with his mom

246
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,000
in Alabama, just some paperwork, things that may have gotten

247
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,799
lost along the way, and some of that is I

248
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,559
take full responsibility on. We'll figure it out. But in

249
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,879
the meantime, it's more the attitude, because he did say

250
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:23,000
to me, you know, I was really upset, and I'm

251
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,879
in with a counselor now and I just I just

252
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:26,399
don't want to do it, and I just I don't

253
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,039
want to disappoint you. And I'm thinking, You're never going

254
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,159
to disappoint me, right, You're just not. I don't want

255
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200
you to disappoint yourself because I see what you're saying,

256
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,679
and I know where you want to be, and I

257
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:40,519
know what the path is that you want to go there,

258
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:43,279
and it's this is an excellent coaching staff. So just

259
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,159
getting through that fear. But boy, it's such a human thing.

260
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,679
How many of us have not tried something for the

261
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,320
fear of failure. And that's what he said to me,

262
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,519
is if I don't make it, I don't I couldn't

263
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,399
handle it. I wouldn't be able to handle it coming

264
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,559
back here. And I thought even that I understand really

265
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:02,799
well because I never tried out for basketball, because I

266
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,480
never got cut from a team, and I knew I

267
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,840
wouldn't make basketball. And I always wish that I had,

268
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:12,120
especially had got cut, worked hard and came back, because

269
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
that teaches you so much that you know, those are

270
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,919
the things. And I think sometimes I go, boy, that's terrible.

271
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:21,080
I didn't have parents that were sports people. My dad

272
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600
was like, you know, his his father was a big athlete,

273
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480
got very injured and wouldn't let my dad or my

274
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,879
uncle really play sports. So my dad had no interest,

275
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,679
and I don't know where mine came. I loved it.

276
00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:35,600
I loved all of them. I wanted to play everything.

277
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, and a lot of that is competition. I

278
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,759
mean in sports, the easiest thing for children to kind

279
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:45,519
of get or kids and even adults for us, is

280
00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:47,440
that level of competition. You go to a court, you

281
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,399
go to a basketball court, you need a competition anywhere local, YMCA,

282
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:55,039
you know, out of a park, but but you know,

283
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:57,279
it's that level of competition and where do you size

284
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,080
up and then how can you improve yourself? It's it

285
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,320
it's I mean, you asked me in one of our

286
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,600
prior discussions. You know what motivates you, yea, What motivates

287
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,639
you and what motivates me to work harder than everybody

288
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,320
else and to do the things that I do is

289
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,759
the fear that fail. I don't want to fail. I

290
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,679
never want to fail, and I have failed. I have

291
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,360
failed many, many, many times. But the fear comes in

292
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,639
that I think sets people. Part is how do you

293
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:27,200
deal with the failure? You know? Do you take the

294
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000
failure and bury your head in it and be like,

295
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,799
you know I'm no good I'm not good enough, you

296
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,960
know I'm not smart enough, and then just bury it

297
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,120
and then just do something else and stay in your

298
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,399
comfort zone. Or do you use that to then propel

299
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,279
yourself to say, how can I what can I do

300
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,039
differently so I don't fail the next time? And that's

301
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:48,039
always been my mindset is what can I learn from

302
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:49,039
this so I don't fail?

303
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: And I do think that failure is one of the

304
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:54,559
biggest teachers. As long as you don't let it, you

305
00:16:54,559 --> 00:16:57,240
don't bury yourself under the weight of the failure, you

306
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
don't let it get so in your head that you're

307
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,919
you're paralyzed now to even try anything again, because that

308
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,480
was just so devastating. And in that case, figure that out,

309
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,240
talk to somebody, have them help you get through that,

310
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,160
because you shouldn't, you should never let that happen.

311
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,799
Speaker 2: Well, that's the one thing when people talk when you

312
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:19,680
have extremely successful people, and they talk about their support network,

313
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,640
their support system, whether it be family, whether it be partners,

314
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:26,680
whether it be spouses or loved ones. It's when you fail,

315
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,000
how do they treat you? How do they build you up?

316
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:31,039
How do they help you? How do they catch you?

317
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,960
And in the support structures you have of the people

318
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,640
who have failed miserably but have come back with ultimate success.

319
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:40,480
Was the catch? You know? How did how did your

320
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:42,240
support network catch you when you failed?

321
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: Right?

322
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: You know? Was it critical? Was it like, yeah, you

323
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480
knew you couldn't do it. You know, there was too

324
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,960
many people doing podcasts. You were never going to make it.

325
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,839
You know, do something else, you're right there, then you're

326
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,400
going to get buried in that. Somebody says, oh, yeah, well, hey,

327
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,559
how about a different niche, how about a different vibe,

328
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,759
how about something else that you're interested in? You know,

329
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:02,839
what can you do to kind of catch your passion,

330
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:06,000
work with it, and and then and and and then

331
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,480
become better at you know, like, if he doesn't make

332
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:10,799
the team, Okay, what do you need to do to

333
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:11,279
get better?

334
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: What is it?

335
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,599
Speaker 2: Do you need more court time? Do you need more

336
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,440
handball handling? You need you need to get stronger? What

337
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,200
is it? You got to do better footwork? And then okay,

338
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,000
go cyo, go cyp, do that program, get the extra

339
00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:26,200
core time, work with a trainer, do whatever it takes.

340
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,039
And then to come back. I mean again, the other

341
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,279
the athletic story everybody talks about in our generation is

342
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Michael Jordan, Right, Michael Jordan got cut from his freshman

343
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,960
basketball team, became the best basketball player ever.

344
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I you know, I've refrained from saying that

345
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,960
because I didn't want to. You know, it's almost like

346
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,200
it's expected. I think that I would say something like

347
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,960
that to him. He's always, you know, waiting for the thing.

348
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,200
And I've just laid back and done more listening. But

349
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:58,759
I thought, on this one, you got to push through

350
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,319
the fear because if you don't do it now, it's

351
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,720
going to hold you back a bunch of other things,

352
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:07,640
whether it's something simply as asking a girl out right,

353
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:12,359
that fear and what could be a great relationship or

354
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,279
just something that you again you can learn from and

355
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,559
enhance your life, and you know, I mean just make

356
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,079
life better. Well, fear holds us back.

357
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean the fear of asking the girl low.

358
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: That was me, right, it was me too.

359
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: Come on, you know that I was.

360
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: I was afraid of the rejection, you know, and yes, the.

361
00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: Ridicule that comes with it as well. And you know,

362
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,519
a kid his age coming from a different district back

363
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,160
into this district, you know, he's looking for inclusion, he's

364
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,240
looking to be accepted, he's looking to be all those things.

365
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,960
And then the easiest way to then separate yourself to

366
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,559
do that is to be rejected, not make the team,

367
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,079
be ridiculed because you didn't make the team, all those

368
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,279
different emotions that come with it. So him him having

369
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:57,559
these questions and going through that as a natural thing.

370
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,480
And you know, I think what you're doing as a

371
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:03,039
parent for me is what I would hope every parent

372
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:06,039
would do is listen more and then just give him

373
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:07,480
a hug, tell him you love him the matter what

374
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:09,480
he does. You just want him to be able to

375
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:12,519
know that he's done everything he can to do and

376
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:13,599
achieve the goal that he.

377
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: Has for himself, right, And I think that that's really important.

378
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,640
And I think that on any level, right you've in

379
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,480
ourselves what are we kind of? You know, if you

380
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:24,680
took a good look, what am I afraid of? And

381
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:28,519
I should push through that? You know? I think I

382
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:31,920
heard that once from somebody going what is your biggest fear?

383
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:33,519
Go do that?

384
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, go do that?

385
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,279
Speaker 1: And that sometimes is pretty scary. The Bills though, I mean,

386
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,359
holy AFC East Champions, they sense that up yesterday. That

387
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,759
was a game that in the beginning, and I don't

388
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:51,000
know what it was like being there. I'm not sure

389
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:52,440
what it was like. You know, we can all look

390
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,519
at conditions. We can hear the guys talking about, you know,

391
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,440
not being able to get footing and the running being

392
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,799
a little bit slower. I saw some pictures from the

393
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,599
stands where people didn't even bother shovel it out. They

394
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,359
were just shoving their beers and making a nice smaller

395
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,319
and iglow cooler. But Greg, in the beginning, when I

396
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,440
saw McCaffrey, he looked like he was gonna run all

397
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,559
over the Bills. And then he leaves with an injury

398
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:20,599
that now has turned into a season ending for him.

399
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean look, let me let me kind

400
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:26,720
of give you our perspective of going to the game,

401
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,079
decisions about going to the game when we were going

402
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,559
to lead. So we're in Rochester. Yeah, the grass is

403
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:34,640
green here, there's snow.

404
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,839
Speaker 1: No such thing. This is all nothing.

405
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:39,799
Speaker 2: It's cold here. It was cold here, don't mean wrong,

406
00:21:39,839 --> 00:21:41,799
it was freezing, but there we didn't have any snow.

407
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:44,880
So having been back and forth so many times to Buffalo,

408
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:46,880
it was like, okay, you want to once you get

409
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,880
to the stadium. Because of lake effect, we drove. There

410
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,519
was one patch between Pembroke and and and Clarence where

411
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,319
there was snow on the grass, but the road was fine.

412
00:21:57,759 --> 00:21:59,839
We then get to Clarence, snow goes away. We get

413
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,400
to the air port, there's no snow. We get to Walden

414
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,400
ad which are where our office is, and all of

415
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,480
a sudden there's snow on the ground again, and then

416
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:09,640
there's snow into into Orchard Park. You get to Orchard Park,

417
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,359
there's two three feet of snow.

418
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

419
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:16,279
Speaker 2: It's freezing too, right because you're that much closer to

420
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:18,799
the lake now, you know, I don't know if people

421
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:21,200
can understand how close you are to the lake. When

422
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,960
you're at the stadium, You're pretty close. You're a mile

423
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:26,799
maybe or so, maybe two, and so you get the

424
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:29,720
winds coming off there, and it's it's just colder. It's

425
00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:31,319
like going to the lake. It's like going to Lake

426
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,599
Ontario from Rochester. The closer you get to Lake Ontario here,

427
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:35,200
it just gets.

428
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:39,799
Speaker 1: That much closer, older, noticeably cooler by the lake, noticeably.

429
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: Cooler about it. And it's just freezing. It was like

430
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:46,000
twenty seven degrees, but if the feel like temperature in

431
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:49,559
the weather forecast was like ten and it was cold.

432
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,440
But we get there, we start to tailgate the people

433
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,240
to camaraderie, the back and forth. There are people next

434
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:59,319
to us we do fireball shots with, and you know,

435
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,599
the whole thing. It's going. All of a sudden, you

436
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:04,400
get the juices flowing, you're listening to the radio, we're dancing.

437
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,640
All of a sudden, you're not as cold. We go

438
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,079
into the stadium and it's it's it's snowing, but it's

439
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:17,799
not accumulating. It is the perfect snow globe experience for us. Now.

440
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,039
One of the things I am so excited about for

441
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,920
our new stadium and the fans that didn't go. It's

442
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,319
gonna be so exciting because I've the stadium with the

443
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,759
canopy is going to cover the whole upper deck, so

444
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,480
there'll be no snow in the seats. There's no heaters,

445
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:37,000
but there be no snow in seats. It's a three

446
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:39,559
sixty stadium with the canopy, so there's gonna be no

447
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,440
internal strong winds like there were last night coming off

448
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,960
the lake. The lower bowl will have access to snow.

449
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,079
So when the snow was coming down and you saw

450
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,279
how I was coming down, you know, like a snow

451
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:54,759
globe softly on. The whole reason why the Pokoulas didn't

452
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,559
do the didn't do the dome was so that game

453
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,839
will allow the snow to fall onto the playing surface

454
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,319
area but not necessarily accumulate up top and effect the

455
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:08,920
full effect of the stands. We were underneath the overhang

456
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,039
of the three hundred levels, so we weren't getting snow

457
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,480
and you don't get rain, and we're protected from the wind.

458
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,359
It truly was like you were sitting in a snow

459
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,920
globe watching an NFL game in front of you, in

460
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,720
perfect conditions. It was magical, Absolutely magical. And you know,

461
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,039
but then you go down to the level, the one

462
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,680
hundred level, in the three hundred level, which doesn't have

463
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,519
a can if he doesn't have anything, and build there

464
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:38,920
were people. It was it had to have been miserable

465
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,440
for them because it's ten degrees but you're standing in

466
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:46,240
snow your feet or in the snow. They're wet and

467
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:49,039
they're cold. And if you sit down you're standing, you're

468
00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:53,599
sitting on wet, cold snow. It must have been miserable.

469
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,400
The Bill's Muff has got to be the toughest fan

470
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,079
base in all of the NFL because that those conditions

471
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,480
were unbelievably miserable.

472
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,039
Speaker 1: And they had guys with their shirts off, and every

473
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,799
time they scored, they you know, the snowballs were going

474
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:13,759
in the air and it sounded Chris Collinsworth was saying, oh,

475
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:15,480
if they get in that end zone, look for the

476
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,079
snowballs to be and sure enough, and they weren't. Really

477
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,720
it didn't look like they were going on the field.

478
00:25:19,759 --> 00:25:21,960
It just looked like people just throwing them straight up.

479
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: I can't remember which game it was, but it was

480
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,599
it was one of the playoff games. And they scored

481
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,119
and the fans in the end zone, took the snow

482
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,279
and threw it up in the air and they created

483
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,039
it was truly it's very theatrical, and they put it

484
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:40,720
in slow motion and all that, and so that was

485
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:43,279
That was really what a lot of it was going on.

486
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,480
You know, there's always gonna be a couple of Yahoo

487
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:47,920
nim nas who are so drunk and they're trying to

488
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,359
throw snowballs onto the field, see if their arm can

489
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,960
still make it. The next year they got torn rotator

490
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:58,240
cuffs and they got kind of light. But but it

491
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:02,079
was a great It was a tremendous atmosphere. It was loud,

492
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,799
it was raucous, it was cold. But after that first series,

493
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:11,480
getting to the game itself, right, we get the ball first,

494
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:14,200
we don't score, We got a punt, and it's just like, okay,

495
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,960
the defense has got to shut him down. McCaffrey in

496
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,039
that first series was like, oh my god, he's back. Yeah,

497
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,200
the defense bends, but they don't break. They get they

498
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,559
hold them to the field goal and it's like, okay,

499
00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:28,519
now we gotta score. We go down, we go seven three.

500
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,039
It's like, all right, game on. Now. These guys stay

501
00:26:31,039 --> 00:26:33,799
ahead of them and that's where the defense really adjusted

502
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:36,920
to the running game. The offense continued to do well,

503
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,319
and then McCaffrey went down with that season any injury

504
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,880
to his calf crazy to.

505
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: Think, well, I hate you know, I hate that stuff.

506
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,559
And it was I think it was a non contact injury,

507
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,319
was it not. I think it was non contact.

508
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: He had just taken a handoff, he was running, Yeah,

509
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:53,680
and then you could see him. He he went down.

510
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,079
He went down all on his own. Yeah. I was

511
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,720
a good buddy of mine and his wife with us.

512
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,640
He's an Alfred Grad frattorney, brother of mine, lives here

513
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,279
in town. Uh, and we were joking and he was

514
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,759
a forty nine Ers fan and it was just like

515
00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:14,640
and as soon as McCaffrey went down, he's like, Okay,

516
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,039
we can leave any time you're ready.

517
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's too bad because he really you see how

518
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,799
important he is to that offense. But on the other side,

519
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,440
how important Josh Allen is to our to the Bills offense.

520
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,599
I'm gonna say our offense, but the Bills offense. I mean,

521
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240
this is the guy who I don't know where he

522
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,279
is in the MVP talk, but that yesterday, being the

523
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:45,599
first quarterback in NFL history. To score touchdowns, running, passing,

524
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,480
and receiving in a single game is just crazy.

525
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: In a single play.

526
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me, yes, yes, play it was insane. And watching it,

527
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,240
you know, you see a Mari Cooper who buy they

528
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,680
made a great catch. I mean he had a grant that.

529
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: I still think. I still think the way that when

530
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,279
I saw the replay, Josh makes a horrible throw to him,

531
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,240
Amari gets his hand on it, brings it into his body.

532
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:19,240
It looked like Josh ran over there thinking because the

533
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:22,200
ball bounced in the air if he fumbled it or

534
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,079
they caught it took it out of his hands. He

535
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,559
wanted to be there to make sure that they didn't

536
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,400
run up the field, that he would then make a tackle.

537
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,079
But when he got there, Amari has it in his possession.

538
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,759
Amari says, we made eye contacts, and he goes, I

539
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,119
just tossed to the ball. You gotta love that.

540
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just veteran play, right, I mean, that's

541
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:42,279
just veteran play, and it's some of the things we've

542
00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:43,960
come to know about Mahomes.

543
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what it's like. It was like

544
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,920
many football games on Thursday and Friday in all the

545
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,960
United States where everybody went back and did their turkey Bowl.

546
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:56,680
How many times did that play get thrown where he

547
00:28:56,759 --> 00:28:58,680
took it and do the hooking ladder and you tossed it.

548
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,880
They were all over the play, all over the place,

549
00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:06,279
and these guys at the highest level instinctively played the game.

550
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:10,599
They were having fun. This team is having more fun

551
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,519
playing this game than I've seen a Bills team even

552
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,160
back to the Kelly days, because the bickering Bills were

553
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,480
paying the ass to each other. These guys are not

554
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:22,359
the bickering Bills. This is the family Bills. This is

555
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,160
the love Bills.

556
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:25,599
Speaker 1: And it shown on the field, and it showed even

557
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,799
after the game. I saw McDermot getting interviewed. Josh comes up,

558
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,240
they do a snow angel, each of them a right

559
00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:33,920
side by side, and then he gets up and takes

560
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,480
off the Bills cap on mcdermot's head and gives him

561
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,480
an AFC East Champion at And that.

562
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: That camaraderie, that feeling, that love, that thoughtfulness doing it

563
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:48,160
for the person that's next to you and making sure

564
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,519
that you don't fail because you don't want to let

565
00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:53,160
them the guy next to you, that's what raises that

566
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:57,400
level of competition. That's what raises that level preparedness, because

567
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,279
that's what it's all about. And in the end, it's

568
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:01,960
those little things. I made a comment earlier in the

569
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:04,200
game where Greg Russo I think was the first or

570
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,519
second quarter, Rousseau makes an upfield rush. He comes back

571
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,079
all the way back around up the field and then

572
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,880
hits the guy from the back, finishes the tackle with him,

573
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,599
but finishes him from behind. And I said to my buddy,

574
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,039
I was like, Rousseau's play right there, and that situation,

575
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:24,000
that's the difference at the end of the game, when

576
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,640
nobody quits and everybody gives that last ditch effort on

577
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920
every play, that's how you win championships. And that's what

578
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,759
these guys are doing.

579
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:34,839
Speaker 1: It sure seems like that's where things are headed, right.

580
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,599
I don't know if every Bills fan feels a little

581
00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:41,279
snake bitten by you know so that you don't want

582
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,839
to say too much. Of course, we do in any direction.

583
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:48,559
Speaker 2: Stars from four years years.

584
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,079
Speaker 1: Ago, I know, but the you knows you as you

585
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,599
watch this, you think this really could be the season

586
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,200
and who would have thought this was supposed to be

587
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,720
the dip. I don't want to say rebuild, but the

588
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,680
dip year and boy, if anything that they've learned or

589
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,759
I as a fan have learned, this is a team

590
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,519
that is a team. You know, it's an absolute team

591
00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:13,039
and you can see on both sides. I mean you

592
00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:17,200
had I was saying, really, what were the names on

593
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,720
your defense? Once you got past linebacker and into the backfield?

594
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,200
You know, Damarrow Hamlin. There were people who are saying

595
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:26,279
DeMars shouldn't have been on the team, right, you know,

596
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,079
there was talk of that. So, boy, I got to

597
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,720
tell you that the coaching job has been unbelievable. Now

598
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,319
could there be better on every level? Yes, we've talked

599
00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:39,240
about clock management, We've talked about all that stuff, but boy,

600
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:41,880
get past those little hiccups in the regular season. As

601
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,680
you head into January. Who knows where this could end up?

602
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Bill, it's like we were talking about

603
00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:49,839
with jameson earlier. It's about learning from it. Right, And

604
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,319
you make a mistake, you foul, you didn't you didn't

605
00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:54,640
get the goal, you didn't accomplish what you want to accomplish.

606
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,559
Would you learn from it? Don't repeat the same mistake,

607
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,559
learn from it? And you know, I think what Dermott

608
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:03,160
and his staff have done this year is that they've

609
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,240
learned through the failures and they've learned through the adjustments

610
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,880
they've had to do in order to adapt to the personnel.

611
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,680
I think Bobby Babbage on all accounts as a defensive

612
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,279
coordinator for the first time in his life under McDermott,

613
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,400
has done a phenomenal job with adjustments in game adjustments,

614
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,640
halftime adjustments, putting the guys in the right positions, you know,

615
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:26,799
understanding and anticipating how the offenses are going to run,

616
00:32:26,839 --> 00:32:29,359
what they're going to be doing. You know, it's an

617
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,079
exciting time. The one thing in the NFL, anything can

618
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:36,279
happen in any given week, and it's all about emotion

619
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,599
and it's all about being prepared. And at this stage

620
00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:43,200
of the season, it's about who is emotionally and physically

621
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,839
prepared to go out and to compete. And the one

622
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:48,200
thing about McDermott that he seems to do day in

623
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,920
and day out, just like Tomlin, I mean, Mike Tomlin

624
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,359
is the same way. You can never count that guy out.

625
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,079
Oh no, you know we're traveling to LA this weekend.

626
00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: You are, are you l A yeah, Jens, all right.

627
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,559
Speaker 2: And you know it's they've lost two games we haven't

628
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:11,119
been there's only two games we haven't been to they've lost.

629
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
So I have to make the trip out to LA.

630
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:16,160
I can't let them down.

631
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: You are their good luck charm. That's it. We need

632
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,799
to You need a Connors and First West Coast office,

633
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:26,440
right right right.

634
00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:28,759
Speaker 2: Magret Regret. I think Gret would agree with that.

635
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: He probably would. I think you gotta make make that,

636
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,440
make that call. As you were watching games over the

637
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,039
holiday weekend, I don't know if you were like me,

638
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,359
but really rooting for the Raiders to beat Kansas City

639
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,079
that was the Black Friday game, I was so, I mean,

640
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,400
I really thought and I don't know, because that game

641
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,640
is so hard to play, you know, it just is,

642
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:56,079
and and every team is trying to out do the

643
00:33:56,119 --> 00:33:59,359
other team to the point where there's probably been some cheating.

644
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,440
I don't know right now in the league. I don't

645
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,200
want to say that, but we know of trying to

646
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,880
steal signals and get plays and anything that's going to

647
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,840
give you an edge, right because it's yeah, it's just.

648
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,519
Speaker 2: That you're not trying to win.

649
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: It's just you just that little edge, right, and then

650
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,840
sometimes that's all the difference but boy, Kansas City, you

651
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,760
would think would be handling these teams better. I don't

652
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,360
think the Carolina Panthers. They have a terrible record, but

653
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,880
they're not an easy out. They gave them a run.

654
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,280
They gave this past weekend. They made a run.

655
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Look, the worst teams in the NFL have a ton

656
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,480
of potential. Yes, look at the Jets for example. The

657
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:40,800
Jets have got talent on that roster. But what one

658
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,840
thing they are not is a team that's true any

659
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,000
given day, that those individuals can come together and catch

660
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,599
a little energy, catch a break, catch a car, catch

661
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:54,840
a fumble, whatever anything can happen. And was that rooting

662
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,559
for the Raiders.

663
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: I was a die hard Raiders on so side.

664
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: We went we actually went into the we went into Fairporks.

665
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,599
We wanted to go get a little Tk's and we

666
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:08,639
stopped at the Village in and we went some o'conneries

667
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:13,719
to watch the Raiders Chiefs game and it was brutal.

668
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,440
I mean to see the Raiders play. And again last

669
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,039
week I was saying, anybody that would listen to me,

670
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,320
I was saying, there's one team who's playing in the

671
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,800
Super Bowl this weekend. There's one team that had a

672
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,679
super Bowl game this weekend. It was the Raiders. That

673
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,920
was their super Bowl was being playing against the Chiefs.

674
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,880
They're out of it, they're done. They wanted to win

675
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,599
one game this year. It was beating the Chiefs in

676
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,440
Kansas City. They had an opportunity, and what blew it

677
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,320
lack of discipline. It was the discipline that that team

678
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,800
did not have from the top down that ended up

679
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,440
blowing it right. And the one thing that McDermott has

680
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,760
instilled in this team is that consistency of the discipline

681
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,400
in preparation, which is why when you go into a team,

682
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,159
you know, look, if you're talking about if there is

683
00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:01,440
a if there's one of the trap weeks for the

684
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,159
Bills at this stage of the season, it's this one. Right,

685
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,400
you're going west coast, You're going across the you're going

686
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,039
across the country, time differentials, all the different things to

687
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,119
travel to air floid, all that Dehay duration, all that

688
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,000
stuff that goes into it. And then the week after that,

689
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:20,480
you got the best team in the NFC, arguably the

690
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,880
best team in the NFL right now, the Detroit Lions.

691
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,920
You look past this team going the West coast. ALSOFF

692
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,920
because you're looking to play the Lions. Oh and by

693
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,599
the way, the Rams are the ramsstinctive since the think, well,

694
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:34,719
they're one game behind in the NFC West, but you

695
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,320
like barely five hundred. So that's a team you can

696
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,760
you can look through or look past. I have the

697
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,360
confidence and the trust the way that McDermott is about

698
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,199
that discipline, about that preparation, and about making sure these

699
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,159
guys are emotionally and mentally prepared to play the game

700
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,599
at a high level. It's him and that's the thing

701
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:58,320
over the years that he has done in going into

702
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,639
LA I think they can. They've played there before, they've won,

703
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:05,159
They've got the routine down. But you get a team

704
00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:08,159
like the Raiders, they didn't do it. They lose a snap,

705
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,920
a bobble snap. Are you kidding me? Driving me crazy,

706
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,199
that's a mistake. I would have lost my mind. If

707
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,119
that were the Bills, I'd be yelling McDermott to get fired.

708
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:22,519
I'd be firing the center. I'd be throwing the quarterback out.

709
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, talk real quick about the Lions, because much

710
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:29,039
like the Bills, they've come together as a team. They too,

711
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,519
have lost key components on defense, and yet haven't really

712
00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:36,039
lost a beat, and there is this whole thing of

713
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:39,000
a buy in. And I think, you know, in the beginning,

714
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:42,880
their coach was taking a little bit, uh, this is

715
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,719
a joke, I think, a little you know, talking about

716
00:37:46,039 --> 00:37:47,920
we're gonna break their knees and we're going to do this.

717
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:50,840
And then he was crying at one point, and I think,

718
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,239
but you look at him now, and you go, he

719
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,000
did it. He got the guy, He got that team

720
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:59,119
to be a team. You know he took I mean,

721
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:01,960
I don't think Jerry Goff wanted to go to Detroit.

722
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:05,280
I say that, so you took that guy, and who

723
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,840
was a number one overall pick. Right, they just swapped

724
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,960
number one overall picks in a way and sure paid

725
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,880
off for the Rams for what they wanted at that time.

726
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,000
But here you're starting to see, wait a second, Jared

727
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:19,239
wasn't done and the whole thing, and I I boy,

728
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,679
that's just an amazing, amazing turnaround.

729
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: You know, when you talk about the importance of coaching, right,

730
00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:32,480
you can't underscore the significance of what a leader does

731
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:36,559
to an organization. Dan Campbell Sean McDermott are probably the

732
00:38:36,679 --> 00:38:41,760
two pre eminent examples of how leadership and how leaders

733
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,840
changed organizations. Right, The Bills hadn't been in the playoffs

734
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,119
in seventeen years, right, seventeen years, seven out of the

735
00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:56,119
last eight. Dan Campbell the Lions. The Lions had been horrible.

736
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:58,840
They've been a laughing sock of the NFL for how long?

737
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,239
Thirty forty years?

738
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: He always knew they were going to lose on Thanksgiving always.

739
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:06,519
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell came in and gave them a toughness, gave

740
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:09,079
him something to believe in, gave them, gave him everything

741
00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:13,159
what it took a path of accountability and leadership to

742
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,039
be successful. And they had bought in and look where

743
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:19,119
they are. I mean, I mean, Candilly, I don't know

744
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:21,519
if I've told the story on the podcast. I think

745
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:23,559
I've shared with you is that I'm like a closet

746
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:27,280
Lions fan because when I met mister and Missus Wilson,

747
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:29,840
and I learned that he was a part owner of

748
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,119
the Detroit Lions before he became owner of the Buffalo Bills,

749
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,280
and his passion just for football was from him growing

750
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,679
up in Detroit. Uh. And with the Lions team, it

751
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,039
was just like oh yeah, and then they then they

752
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:46,079
you know, then they had Barry Sanders, a Nuggage run. Yes,

753
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,880
they had all these great players, but they just couldn't

754
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,599
win the games. It was a town of losers, right,

755
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:56,400
it was rust Belt city. He there was once great

756
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,599
city and now now the city's run down. And they

757
00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:01,400
had this once great football tea. Even another team is horrible,

758
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,679
and it was like, this team is destined to lose.

759
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,559
And then you bring in this strong leader like Dan

760
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,000
Campbell and the whole things have changed. And you know,

761
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,639
I would love it would be a great It would

762
00:40:14,639 --> 00:40:17,880
be a great Disney movie to have the lines and

763
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,719
the bills in New New Orleans.

764
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:25,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, in February, yep, And that is a possibility at

765
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,480
this point. I think a lot of people are putting

766
00:40:27,519 --> 00:40:30,000
some money on that in vecers as we speak. I

767
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:33,480
really do. Oh yeah, yeah, Well, Greg, I really appreciate

768
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:37,719
you taking some time tonight, and thank you for all

769
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,440
the advice, all the support through the years. We're coming

770
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:42,719
up on our second anniversary, so we're excited about that

771
00:40:43,039 --> 00:40:46,960
and things are are good, and I greatly appreciate it

772
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:47,440
all from you.

773
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: That it's my pleasure. I always love to talking with you.

774
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,639
Sorry I couldn't get there tonight. Out coming in from

775
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:56,559
Buffalo and the dogs and dinner, and I got you

776
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,880
trying to make sure that I take care of everything else.

777
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:02,079
So yeah, but it's always great to talk to you.

778
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:04,880
I hope Jamison does well. I just remember to keep

779
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,360
just and and you know, one thing for me is

780
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,559
when you're trying something new and you're going through those

781
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,039
different challenges, is it's all about attitude, right, It's all

782
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:17,320
about attitude and effort. There's only you know. You can

783
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,079
control your attitude, You control your effort. You can't control

784
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,480
what other people are doing. You can't control the other

785
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:25,000
things that are that are around you. All your control

786
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:26,400
is how do you respond to it? What is your

787
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,760
attitude about it? And then what is the effort you

788
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,960
put into it? And one thing that my parents instilled

789
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,119
in me is always do it with a smile, Always

790
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:37,679
stay positive, and then always make sure that you leave

791
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,159
everything wherever you're at. Leave it on the court, leave

792
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:43,159
it in the courtroom. Don't don't walk away thinking had

793
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:45,199
I just done this or just on that? Just do

794
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,760
it and if you fail, you fail, learn from it,

795
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,119
move on. If you don't put everything out there and

796
00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:53,639
you fail, you always wonder have I done that? You

797
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:54,159
got it.

798
00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:58,599
Speaker 1: Oh God, so yep, So good luck to Jameson.

799
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:01,159
Speaker 2: Tell me to keep my don't keep working hard and

800
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,360
keep putting that effort in, and no doubt he'll be

801
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,920
an ultimate, he'll be a hoopster.

802
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it, and thank you, and say hi
