00:00Was that Texas-Tennessee?
00:01Texas-Tennessee.
00:02Oh, yeah, that play was a big hit.
00:04It happened before we got on the air with the UB game the other day.
00:07But Scott Wilson could not wait.
00:09Did you see Texas and Tennessee?
00:11A guy, it was a full-on, let's call it a urination celebration.
00:17He got a sack, and then he mimed an unzipping.
00:22Like, what would Joe Buck have done?
00:23This was so much worse than the Randy Moss fake moon thing at Lambeau.
00:27It was, we'll call it the celebration, for lack of a better term,
00:33if it needs a nickname, the Firehose.
00:37And a guy gets a sack and then proceeds to, well, he got, it was no good.
00:42It was bad.
00:43It was not good.
00:44Speaking of bad celebrations, did you see the guy that knocked out Dante Moore
00:50celebrating that?
00:51Yeah.
00:52Man, that made me mad.
00:53Well, it made the team mad, too.
00:55USC suspends him for a game.
00:56That's the only discipline that's going to happen, it seems.
00:59He was ejected from the game.
01:00It's a targeting penalty.
01:02Dante Moore, quarterback from Oregon, clearly slides and then just gets his head
01:08knocked off by the defender.
01:10I don't have his name in front of me, but guess what?
01:12We can talk about it without knowing his name.
01:14He's just a defensive back for USC that did a thing, and we can talk about the
01:18whole thing without ever knowing his name.
01:20It doesn't matter what his name is.
01:21The star player that was involved, we all know, was Dante Moore.
01:24And this is kind of the point I'm making about you saying it's Tom Brady's job to
01:28know the names of every player on the team.
01:29No, he's not.
01:30He does a different game every week.
01:31If he was calling just Patriots games, he'd need to know all the guys.
01:35Eric Wood needs to know all of the guys on both teams.
01:38Scott Wilson needs to know all the guys on both teams as he calls UB games.
01:41Tom Brady rolls into a different town every week, and he's there to be the
01:45football expert.
01:45It's not about the individuals on the roster in any way, and we just proved it.
01:49And part of his football expertise should be the names of the football players.
01:54How are names of football players a part of expertise?
01:57Football coaches use numbers.
01:59Football coaches will coach an entire week leading up to a team and getting you
02:03ready, and you've got to watch out for number 46, number 52.
02:06Okay, but you know who those guys are because you...
02:09What if Brady just started saying their numbers?
02:11Would that be okay to you?
02:12Because that's how people talk in football.
02:14Do we all know who is No. 47 on the Buffalo Bills?
02:20I mean, we all do, but...
02:22The majority of football fans watching a game, if you say the name of a player,
02:26will know the player of who the name belongs to.
02:30And part of the experience of watching a football game is knowing who is doing
02:35what.
02:35And if Brady can't say anything other than the corner, which there are three of on a
02:39football field at a time, then I need him to get better at knowing the names of
02:44the players.
02:45Yeah, I think he's gotten really good at his job.
02:46I think he was trying to say the names of players his first year when he was
02:50awful, and now he's settled into just use your football knowledge, hang out, be
02:55personable, and try to make it work.
02:56And sometimes he turns into, you know, Brady from the Brady Rose.
03:00Like, if he's on the screen, this is what I was starting to say earlier.
03:02If he's on the screen, I'm like, ugh, Brady, I don't like what's going on with his
03:06jawline.
03:06I don't like what's happening.
03:07I don't like that he's faking it.
03:09That's not what a face looks like.
03:11Like, that kind of stuff.
03:11But when he's just talking, I'm like, oh, there's a guy who knows football.
03:13He's good.
03:15He wasn't not saying names.
03:17He was saying wrong names, too.
03:19It wasn't.
03:19Well, that's a problem.
03:20Don't say wrong names.
03:20Don't say the name.
03:22The Knox thing I described was one.
03:24He kept calling Benford a million things.
03:26He called Alec Anderson Joe Andreessen.
03:28He did.
03:29Dude.
03:30He didn't call him Joe Andreessen.
03:31He just called him Andreessen.
03:32Whatever.
03:33Be better at the job.
03:35I got it.
03:36How much does he make a year?
03:37That's not the point.
03:38It is the point.
03:39It's not.
03:40Yes, it is.
03:40The words Anderson and Andreessen are very similar to one another.
03:43So to have a broadcaster who doesn't cover this team specifically accidentally use the
03:48wrong word, that's not a major violation.
03:52He's paid to cover every team.
03:53Oh, he's paid to broadcast football games.
03:56And every team plays on his broadcast.
03:58And he is paid to cover that team that week, every week.
04:02Yeah, it's just I think you're missing the point.
04:04I think you're blissfully ignorant about this.
04:08I don't know.
04:09Do I get any respect for doing football games on the radio for the last 18 years?
04:14And I'm telling you, you don't need to memorize the Western Michigan roster going into this.
04:18You have it in front of you.
04:19And yes, you can get good.
04:21And you have spotters.
04:22There's all kinds of stuff at work.
04:23But the reality is, I don't want Tom Brady's information bogged down by searching to find
04:29out how I'm supposed to pronounce this name.
04:31And none of that is necessary.
04:33They're getting through it just fine.
04:34I think he's doing a good job.
04:35I think the complete problem is that we bring up the Knox play a lot.
04:39He called him Kincaid Knox.
04:41And then he defaulted to Hawes.
04:44And then he said, yeah, Hawes works.
04:46And he just stuck with Hawes.
04:48And then, same thing, how do you mess up Joe Andreessen with Alec Anderson?
04:54Because the names are very similar.
04:56Do you not notice that?
04:57I get that one.
04:58You're comparing a starter to a special teams player.
05:00That is a problem.
05:02You can't do that.
05:04If you're getting paid that much money to sit there, talk about the game, talk about the
05:08players, say you should at least know the starting depth.
05:11They're lunatics.
05:12No.
05:13Listen to you people.
05:13Not at all.
05:14You should know the starters.
05:16You should know the main 22.
05:18You should know the 22 on each side of the ball.
05:21You should.
05:22That's just, if you are a color guy, maybe I don't expect you to know the fourth special
05:28teams linebacker or, you know, the third corner safety.
05:33You know, I don't expect you to know that.
05:35But, like, know the guys who are going to be playing.
05:39Just know them.
05:41Doesn't need to.
05:42He does.
05:42Doing just fine.
05:43Gee, do you have an opinion on this?
05:45I need a little backup.
05:46You got a calm opinion on this?
05:48I don't know.
05:48I'm kind of with you.
05:50I think with Brady, I think it's different.
05:52I think they're doing, like, he's obviously getting paid because he's Tom Brady and he's
05:56out there.
05:56I think the Anderson and Andreessen is different.
05:59They're looking at the sheet with the player roster on it.
06:01That is where.
06:02He kind of looks down, sees the A on it.
06:04I get that one.
06:05That, I understand.
06:06It's just a slip up.
06:07Me or you totally could make that mistake.
06:12It's just having so many of those mistakes peppered throughout the game makes me frustrated.
06:17You can be frustrated.
06:19And it's Tom Brady.
06:20That's part of it, too.
06:21Of course it is.
06:21Like, that's who it is.
06:22It was just like, who's this guy that keeps saying the cornerback?
06:25Right.
06:26I don't know if I'm still on.
06:28You are.
06:29I was watching the game on my phone here.
06:32I don't get a TV and wasn't able to, like, listen, so I don't really hear what's going
06:35on.
06:36Okay.
06:37You would have been annoyed.
06:38No, you're good.
06:39No, you're fine.
06:39In all, I feel like Tom Brady, he's just like, hey, go out there and talk about football.
06:44That's exactly right.
06:45That's his job.
06:46He's getting paid to be Tom Brady and assess the sport, not the individual players.
06:51Now, again, I'll go back to the thing.
06:52I think coaches all the time in prepping a team, they're talking about the guys by number.
06:57We casually refer to Josh Allen as 17.
07:00If he just called him 17, if he just started using numbers and threw out names, we would
07:06lose nothing from the broadcast and it would simplify.
07:09He'd be better if he never tried to learn a name.
07:12Maybe because he wouldn't butcher every name he tried to say.
07:16And maybe some people would know who he's trying to talk about instead of just a corner or a
07:21safety or the wrong name.
07:23If it's the radio, it's different.
07:24If it's television, you're like, look what the corner does here.
07:27This is how everybody, Dan Orlovsky breaks down game film.
07:31Going back to the NFL edge Sunday matchup thing that show we used to be on with Jaworski
07:36and Susie Colbert.
07:38It's not about the individuals.
07:40It's about schemes and that sort of stuff.
07:42So we say, watch what happens here as the safety creeps down into the box.
07:46I don't need to know that it's Lawyer Malloy.
07:49It's a safety creeping into the box.
07:51It does not take away from the presentation whatsoever unless you're predisposed to not
07:57like Tom Brady because of his stupid face and his 33 wins against the Buffalo Bills.
08:02It's all right.
08:03It'll be fine.
08:04It's true.
08:04It's nice.
08:05Everybody's going to be fine.
08:06Everybody.
08:07Everyone's fine.
08:08I'm going to be fine.
08:10803-0550 is the numbers.
08:12We connect with the fans courtesy of Northtown Kia, Western New York's number one Kia dealer.

08:19And portions of the show brought to you by Tim Hortons because it smells and tastes delicious.
08:25On the morning show, that's their official coffee.
08:28WGR Tailgates, official coffee.
08:30Yep.
08:31And we got it right here.
08:33They had a nice setup.
08:34That's what's up with Tim.
08:35Yeah, I like the noise.
08:36It's all good.
08:37All right.
08:37Steve in Connecticut.
08:38You're on WGR.
08:39What's up?
08:41Hey, guys.
08:41Just wanted to contribute to the Brady conversation.
08:44Definitely should know the player's name for the $2 million of broadcast or whatever he gets paid.
08:49And also, people are tied to knowing who caught the ball or whatever based off of fantasy and betting stuff.
08:58People want to know that nowadays.
09:00I will say that it kind of fits his personality.
09:04He's kind of a condescending, arrogant guy.
09:07Like, oh, I'm getting paid all this money.
09:09I'm not going to take the time to learn any of these guys' names.
09:12It's kind of funny.
09:13I don't know if you guys watch any of these pregame shows.
09:16But the Fox one with those group of guys, Gronk was on there.
09:19And so it's Gronk, Brady, and a bunch of other guys.
09:22But it was a pretty – they're pretty funny, the show they put on.
09:25So I'll give him that.
09:28He's got a pretty good sense of humor at times.
09:29Yes, it's coming around.
09:31He's rounding into shape as a broadcaster.
09:33Let's not let names get in the way of it.
09:35I've got four tweets that I want to read.
09:37This is also connecting with the fans.
09:39First one is, the jerseys were so bad the blind guy from Connecticut even didn't like them.
09:43The blind rhino has thoughts on the terrible jerseys.
09:47Okay.
09:47Next one.
09:48And Owen, you have every right to absolutely lose it on Brad, who has not a clue what the F
09:54he is talking about, exclamation point.
09:56The next one is, great point to me.
09:58Names are irrelevant.
09:59If it was so important to memorize the names, they wouldn't put them on the jersey.
10:04And then the next one, Brad's 1,000% right on this one.
10:06No one cares about the player's name.
10:07We care about how the mind of the greatest QB of all time works and sees the game.
10:11There's no value to Brady knowing his name.
10:13No one learns anything new.
10:15You learn what happened in the play just now.
10:19Well, you're watching it.
10:20Okay.
10:21He's going to tell you.
10:22Watch this guy.
10:22And then you watch that guy.
10:23And who's that guy?
10:25Do you know?
10:26Or do you not know?
10:26It doesn't matter.
10:27It does matter.
10:28It does matter.
10:28Why?
10:29Because I need to know who's playing good and who's playing bad.
10:30But you're looking at it.
10:31You know who it is.
10:32Maybe I can't see.
10:34Maybe I'm the blind rhino.
10:36You're not the blind rhino.
10:37I need the guy.
10:37I can see the blind rhino having a problem with this whole thing.
10:39Sure.
10:40Blind rhino's like the corner.
10:41What are you talking about, Brady?
10:43Or Brady says it's the blind rhino.
10:45I think that you should know the names of the players in the game that you're calling.
10:48Unnecessary.
10:49We'll go to Andrew in Austin.
10:51What's up, Andrew?
10:52Hey, guys.
10:53Hey, this conversation about the names and the jerseys is kind of irrelevant versus.
11:03Remember last year where we were all complaining about the bubble screen and Shakir was getting a ton of passes.
11:11He was making an impact.
11:13But we had no DJ Moore.
11:15And nobody wants Diggs back.
11:17But DJ Moore now gives us that deep threat.
11:19And look at how the game immediately changed when he was hurt.
11:23So he's back in tomorrow.
11:25But look at what's happened with Shakir.
11:27His volume has almost disappeared.
11:31And people are still complaining about Keon Coleman.
11:33But Keon's opening up the field.
11:36But what do you guys think about, you know, DJ Moore is there for the long ball.
11:41And the biggest thing about this is we need a deep threat to kind of open up our offense.
11:48That's more important than jerseys and more important than Tom Brady, who we all hate, the Patriots, right?
11:54So what do you guys think about the offense and kind of the short game and the long game?
11:58And the bigger impact is the games we've got coming up.
12:01And we've got to get the short game and the long game going.
12:05What are you guys' thoughts?
12:06Well, I don't just paint DJ Moore as a deep threat.
12:08And I keep going back to the first pass that he caught as a Buffalo Bill, which is the second
12:12play of the game when the Bills had the ball in the preseason against Carolina.
12:17And it was just him running free underneath, getting the ball and being in space and picking up 31 yards.
12:23It doesn't have to be all deep all the time.
12:26It's not just that.
12:27Knowing that exists helps.
12:29Hitting that play to Keon Coleman yesterday helps.
12:32Josh Palmer has caught two passes this season.
12:35Is he an important part of the passing game?
12:37Well, if I look at the rest of it, no.
12:39But if I look at the two that were both touchdowns in massive spots, yeah.
12:43So I think it all works together as one sort of – it's like an amoeba type of thing that's
12:48going on.
12:49And I'm pushing this down the field to create this underneath.
12:52And they've got a lot of options there.
12:53And they still haven't found a way to get Skylar Bell on the field.
12:55He, to me, is a young version of DJ Moore.
12:59So I'm – Shakir has been targeted 15 times.
13:04Kinkade, 17 times.
13:06Moore, 18 times.
13:06Shakir is as big a part of the offense as he needs to be right now.
13:10He just doesn't need to be the top guy with a healthy Kinkade and Moore in the lineup.
13:16And Coleman being a factor because he has been a factor.
13:18For sure.
13:19I've been very impressed with Coleman.
13:22Even the onside kick recovery, I wanted to give him a little love for.
13:26Because, like, that's a tough, hard – like, that's a weird play to try to make.
13:30And he did a good job.
13:31So just wanted to shout that out.
13:33But I do agree.
13:35I think you want to make sure that you're capable of attacking every level of the field.
13:40In the same way that we talk about marrying pass rush and coverage on defense, I think you want to
13:47threaten every level of the defense on offense in that same vein.
13:53It's important to find wrinkles everywhere.
13:56And I think that Shakir probably just needs – he just hasn't had the game script go the right way
14:04for him yet.
14:04And that doesn't mean that he can't do what he's always done for them.
14:08And I think they've used him a little more down the field than even in years past.
14:11Do you want to talk about football or Tom Brady?
14:13Because all the phone lines are full and it's like half and half.
14:17We're not letting the blind rhino call in again.
14:19Is that really the blind rhino calling for a second time today?
14:21No, I understand that when you're blind, a guy saying the names would be helpful.
14:25I get that.
14:26Listen to the radio.
14:27They'll say the names.
14:28You'll be fine.
14:28You don't need to listen to Brady.
14:30You are protected from him.
14:32And you never have to see him.
14:33As I said, I'm fine listening to him.
14:35When I see him, I have a problem.
14:37That's an advantage that Rob in Connecticut, a.k.a. the blind rhino, has.
14:41He never has to look at Tom Brady, which is awesome.
14:44Do you want to do Bills or Brady stuff?
14:47Let's do one more Bills and then we'll get back to Brady.
14:49One more Bills.
14:49I need a second to breathe.
14:51Okay, that's fair.
14:54This one.
14:55Ryan in Toronto, you're on WGR.
14:58Brad.
14:58What's up?
14:58Go on.
14:59Happy weekly Monday, guys.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Listen for you guys.
15:02Listen, the way the Bills often showed up in the first quarter,
15:06because they came out flat with 10 days rest.
15:09Thank God the Chargers.
15:10And thank God the defense showed up.
15:13If that was any other team, they would have had an L for sure.
15:18Yeah.
15:18Do you agree?
15:19Yeah.
15:19I think that there are a lot of teams that would have won that game yesterday
15:23against the Bills with five turnovers.
15:24I think the Bills are going to lose some games this year,
15:26and that's kind of what the games will look like when they lose them.
15:29But they didn't lose that one, so I just let that pass.
15:32It's just that I let it go.
15:33Secondly, I want to ask one more question.
15:36How did we not be able to pick up Devontae Adams when he was a free agent?
15:42How are we not able to?
15:44Do you think that would have been a better fit than what we maybe might have
15:46been to change a lot of things in the past?
15:48Speaking of guys who I've grown to really like, Devontae Adams,
15:53I've just heard him speak a lot more lately, and he comes off as super cool.
15:57I used to think he was like an aloof, I don't know,
16:00just a guy you didn't want around.
16:01And every experience I have with him, I find myself rooting for him a lot more.
16:05And it's not like I drafted him on my fantasy team or anything.
16:08He's a guy I have found I've grown more interested in over the last couple of years.
16:15So, yes, of course I would be interested in him.
16:17And, you know, Justin Jefferson's name comes up all the time.
16:22I've had a similar thought on him.
16:23I like the way he carries himself.
16:25He's super talented and also super cool and also big and a difference maker.
16:30So, previously I would have thought of Jefferson as like the main guy I would try to target
16:34if I could get any receiver in the league.
16:36Adams is in that conversation now too.
16:38Yeah, they went after Adams a few years ago and didn't land him.
16:41And I think that's when they landed on Cooper.
16:44So, they've been interested.
16:46I love him.
16:47I think he's unbelievable.
16:49And he seems to be a man up against time here, which is pretty fun.
16:52And I always like that story.
16:53Like, he's still great and he's getting up there in age.
16:56So, I love him, but I think they're fine at receiver.
16:59They're fine.
17:00I think they're totally fine at receiver right now.
17:01They're fine.
17:02If there's anywhere that I'm –
17:03In a world where that's what they've got out there and we can't get Skylar Bell on the field yet.
17:08And it didn't even occur to me until after the game when looking at the stats, I'm like,
17:11hey, did I see Joshua Palmer in the game?
17:14I don't remember.
17:15I didn't notice him.
17:16I mean, obviously he wasn't targeted.
17:20But, yeah, no, I think they're okay.
17:21And Kincaid being a real part of the passing offense, in addition to Knox still being a part of it
17:26and Hawes still being a part of it and Ty Johnson getting back in there.
17:30Like, they – it was not crazy two months ago when I woke up and went, wait, there's only one
17:35football.
17:35They might have too much here.
17:37They had to unlock it with DJ Moore, but I think it looks great.
17:42I think all of it looks great.
17:43I do too.
17:43All right, let's go to Justin next in South Buffalo.
17:45Justin, you're on WGR.
17:46What's up?
17:47Hey, I got to 100% completely agree with Owen here about the Tom Brady thing.
17:53All right.
17:54Dude, you just said you didn't happen to notice if Palmer was targeted around the field.
17:58Maybe if Brady could call the guy's name, you would have noticed or seen it or something.
18:04I don't kick on the Bills game on Sundays or Mondays or whenever they're playing to listen to Collinsworth talk
18:10about Mahomes or Brady's life story.
18:13I'll go watch reality TV instead.
18:15Like, dude, call the game.
18:17That's why we put this on.
18:19For myself personally, I have not watched a game on TV in I don't know how long.
18:26I just listen to WGR because I can't stand listening to these guys yammer on about football from 30 years
18:32ago.
18:32Do you watch with no sound, at least?
18:35No, no, no.
18:36I literally just listen to Brownie and Tasker.
18:39All right.
18:40There's nothing wrong with that.
18:41I appreciate somebody who has that kind of respect for radio.
18:44That's good.
18:45That is cool.
18:46That said, it's just an entirely different job.
18:49What you are listening for, tune in to Brownie and Tasker.
18:52They're going to give you every single thing that you're talking about.
18:54The job of a national television broadcaster is not to memorize the rosters of the teams.
19:02He knows the things he needs to talk about.
19:05He knows the storylines going into the game.
19:08That's what he's there for.
19:09He's providing color.
19:11Play-by-play guy is in charge of this guy, throws it to that guy, and then, all right, you
19:16saw it, Brady.
19:16What do you think?
19:17Well, watch what the corner did here.
19:19It's the right system.
19:20It's what they're paying him to do.
19:22You guys are screaming about it like he's doing the job incorrectly.
19:24He's not.
19:25There are times where it's fine to say the corner or the safety.
19:28It's when he is illustrating a play with his voice.
19:32He's talking about watching a guy do this, and you can tell it's not just that he doesn't know the
19:38name.
19:38He's reaching for it and doesn't have it.
19:41It's his instinct to say the name.
19:43He doesn't know it.
19:44Well, then he needs to be coached up to not try to reach for the name and just tell the
19:48story of what's happening on the field because that's what they're paying him for.
19:50I think that it's all – he needs to know at least enough of the names that it doesn't feel
19:57like he doesn't know what's happening with the players.
20:01It makes it feel like, to me, he doesn't follow the league the way I feel he should if he's
20:07calling the games on national TV.
20:09If he isn't preparing and watching tape to know names and can't do that part of the job, which I
20:17will continue to say I think is part of the job, that's where I was frustrated last night.
20:22I think he sounds constantly, at least yesterday, like he wants to say the names and doesn't know them.
20:30It's Benford – how many times did he say excuse me yesterday?
20:33I don't know.
20:34I counted five.
20:37Is that bad?
20:38You know, this guy – excuse me, Benford, like that.
20:43Like, dude, that's a bad job.
20:47Yeah.
20:48That's a bad job.
20:52Tom in Wefield, you're on WGR.
20:54What's up?
20:55Perfect timing.
20:56Owen, man, I love you guys.
20:58You're awesome, but I cannot disagree more.
21:03I told Dan, I said, I'm actually upset with Big Dan.
21:07I don't know if he's 5'2 or 6'2.
21:09But I told him, I said, Big Dan, man, I don't like your attitude.
21:14I was going to ask if he screamed at you because he got all fired up screaming into the microphone.
21:18He's just following Owens' lead.
21:20Loud mouth.
21:20It was awesome.
21:21We laughed together about it.
21:22But, no, man, I think Brady's pretty good, actually, to be honest with you.
21:26I don't have a problem with him.
21:27Yeah, I'm coming around on him.
21:29These guys are all – they're hating on my boy Tom Brady.
21:31It just sounds bad, man.
21:33It just sounds bad.
21:34No, no, he's fine.
21:36The hell with that.
21:37Watch the game.
21:38You know who the hell the players are.
21:39Who cares?
21:40Right, exactly.
21:41I do, but my girlfriend watching doesn't, or my mother who –
21:46Don't watch it.
21:47Whatever.
21:48Don't watch it.
21:50Brady's not –
21:51Don't watch it.
21:51Brady's not fixing your mom.
21:53No, but my girlfriend who's trying to get into the sport, maybe.
21:57Because she loves me and she wants to figure out how it all works.
22:01Why do you act this way?
22:03Yeah, right.
22:04Exactly.
22:04Why do you sound like this on Sundays?
22:05Why are you yelling what had happened?
22:07And I'd like Brady to say the name of the guy instead of the corner
22:10so that I – I don't know.
22:11I just think it sounds better when you can say the name of the guy
22:16so it sounds like you know what you're talking about.
22:18And even more so, when you're reaching for the name,
22:21it's better to sound like you have it rather than you have to stutter for five seconds,
22:24say, excuse me, I'm sorry, I don't know the name, and then move on.
22:28That sounds bad.
22:29All right.
22:29So work on the way that you present the thing that you're there to do,
22:34which is not memorize the name, so stop reaching for him, would be the answer.
22:37It would solve all of this.
22:39We've got Rich next.
22:40Rich, you're on WGR.
22:42Hey, thanks for taking my call.
22:43So if you remember when Brady was first named, he wasn't the most highly regarded analyst, right?
22:49No.
22:49He's there because he's Brady.
22:51Right.
22:51And I don't like him.
22:52I mean, I thought the comment about the wins, I thought that was – like that was a low blow.
22:56Like, you're in Buffalo, you want to get along, right?
22:59And I think what would solve this, if Josh could get 34 wins against the Patriots
23:05and the Bills win the Super Bowl, then that would be enough.
23:08I could listen to his nonsense.
23:10I'm rooting for that to happen as well.
23:12That would be cool.
23:13That would be awesome.
23:14I don't know how many wins he has against them, but I would be great if he could pull that
23:19off
23:19and get the Super Bowl along the way.
23:21That'd be even better.
23:22I bet he knows how many wins he has against them.
23:24And then I bet that he would tell you that he doesn't, but I bet he does.
23:27Yeah, he would.
23:28And I also think this love we're giving to Gronk, I mean, you know, let's not forget
23:32what he did to Trey Davies, right?
23:35I mean, I will never forget that, and I'll never forgive him for laying him out when he
23:40was on his back on the sideline.
23:42It was on his face, but yeah.
23:44Yeah, you know, I don't know.
23:46So just my perspective, but thanks for taking my call.
23:48Yeah, no, I appreciate it.
23:49No, all right.
23:50Here are a couple things I will say about the Brady-Gronk broadcast, all of it.
23:54Um, Fox, when it decided we're going to back up a Brinkstruck to Tom Brady's, one of his
24:03mansions, and just give him this, and he's going to make our broadcast better.
24:07I think they miscalculated how much the world does not like Tom Brady.
24:12The Patriots fans love him.
24:13He's the greatest football, unquestionably the greatest football player or greatest quarterback
24:18in history because of the Super Bowl rings.
24:21Okay, you guys get to think that.
24:22The rest of us were frustrated for 20 years watching what that guy was doing, and that's
24:27everywhere in the AFC and probably everywhere in the NFL.
24:30So for Fox to think the best way to spend our money is to put Brady on TV every week,
24:35I think
24:35that was a miscalculation.
24:36Um, and then the thing yesterday with, where Brady, it was almost as if he's like, oh no,
24:43I'm, I'm cool with the people in Buffalo.
24:45Now we all get along because I'm tight with Gronk and everyone in Buffalo loves Gronk.
24:50And that one's not true either.
24:52So it's not like who let Brady in here?
24:55No, it's fine.
24:55He's with Gronk.
24:56Who let Gronk in here?
24:57I like Gronk.
24:59I find him entertaining.
25:00Um, I forgive him for whatever.
25:02It was a dirty play at the Trey White thing.
25:04Uh, I didn't like it.
25:05He got, I think he got a game suspension for it or at least a fine.
25:10Um, but I, I get the, what his role is too.
25:14Like no one would ever say Gronk needs to learn more about the players in the league before
25:19he can participate in conversations about it.
25:21It's like, no, you come out here, you be Gronk.
25:23He shows up with personality.
25:25That's all we want out of him.
25:26But Brady, assuming that Gronk is his hall pass or whatever you want to call it, like
25:31he, it's fine for me to walk around Buffalo cause I'm with Gronk.
25:35Nobody likes Gronk either.
25:36I like Gronk, but it's not accepted.
25:38And he talked about it like, no, we're, we're cool.
25:41The secret handshake is I walk in with Gronk.
25:43We go anywhere we want in Buffalo.
25:44Now it's true.
25:45Tom Brady shows up at your restaurant.
25:46You let him in.
25:47You give him a dinner, you give him a drink, whatever.
25:49Um, but I, I just, I think miscalculations on both Fox's part and then on Brady's part about,
25:55yeah, no, I'm cool.
25:56Cause I'm with this guy that I think everybody loves, but nobody loves.
25:59All right.
26:00Timeout.
26:01It is WGR middays driven by Northtown Automotive with Brad, Tim and Owen.
26:06Dan's here.
26:07G's here.
26:08You're here.
26:08Stick around on WGR.
