Talking Buffalo

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with popular YouTube content creator and Buffalo Sabres superfan Melody Martin about her favorite team, her Sabres videos that have a strong presence on YouTube and her game night experience at Key Bank Center this past Saturday.For the first time all season, a limited amount (10% of capacity) were allowed into a Sabres home game last weekend. Melody, along with her mother and cousin were among them. Melody details what the process and experience was like, including a required app for fully vaccinated attendees, other protocols at the admission gate, what is was like being scattered throughout the arena and forgetting about everything else when Victor Olofsson scored late in the third period (a goal that she actually missed seeing).She also talks about her YouTube channel and some of its content, including a take on “Driver’s License” that steps away from wit and humor and paints the picture of a deeply frustrated Sabres fans.The song is played on the podcast before the interview.They also spend a few minutes talking about the team, including the undeniable impact that firing Ralph Krueger has had of late, the significance of better backup goaltending, the improved contributions of younger players and a guess on if Jack Eichel is going to want to stick around for this continued rebuild.You can follow Melody on Twitter@MelodyNMartinand definitely be sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel, which includes all of her music and Sabres reactions.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube:Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel ♦♦♦♦♦ SPECIAL OFFER FOR LISTENERS: Get 30% off anything you order at 80’s Tees, home of the best collection of 80’s and other nostalgia themed shirts you’ll find anywhere.

On today’s future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, it’s “Casual Friday” and Patrick is joined once again by 26 Shirts owner and BillsMafia co-founder Del Reid to discuss a variety of topics focused on Buffalo and fun pop culture stuff.The Buffalo Sabres finally ended their winless streak at 18 games, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night. Patrick discusses how he expected to meet the victory with sarcasm but genuinely felt good for the players and coaches to get the monkey off their back. He talks about how playing well over their last 21 games could help the culture with younger players and potential offseason acquisitions. Meanwhile, Del’s happy for the victory but hasn’t been watching much, admittedly in part because they’ve been so lousy.One franchise that hasn’t been lousy is the Buffalo Bills. The guys talk about a far less stressful offseason because of Josh Allen’s ascension and continue the debate on over if drafting a running back with their first pick would be a good decision.They also highlight this week’s 26 Shirts campaign, “Kickin’ Bass” to benefit an ill Shaun Sterner. This shirt was influenced and modeled by Bills kicker Tyler Bass. (You can purchase the shirt here)Before finishing up they hit their weekly segments. We learn a valuable lesson about Instagram and the historical success of the Bee Gee’s in “Today’s Years Old.” They also discuss results from a poll about former Bills stadium names and draft their “Starting Five” of all-time great comedians.You can follow Del on Twitter @DelReidand of course be sure to check out 26shirts.comfor the latest shirts for sales and campaigns it helps benefit.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube:Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦It’s us again, this time to talk to YOU about hosting your own podcast with our distributor.

On this bonus episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran welcomes friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) for the second of six weekly Buffalo Bills mock draft podcast episodes every Wednesday leading up to the actual NFL draft that begins April 29.The mock drafts are done in real time, with the computer simulating picks for the other 31 teams on TheDraftNetwork.com.Before moving to this current mock the guys spend some time digesting last week’s, an exercise that saw Aaron select running back Travis Etienne in the first round and interior offensive lineman Landon Dickerson in the second. The Bills signed running back Matt Brieda last week and they discuss if that acquisition would have any impact on a Brandon Beane decision to select a running back early.They also spend a few minutes discussing getting a few players that can have an impact right away versus guys who may take longer to see the field, and Aaron concludes that a good rookie guard should be capable of unseating incumbent Jon Feliciano right away.Then the new mock starts and the guys are frustrated that several prospects they had earmarked at pick No. 30 ended up being off the board, prompting them to conclude they were prefer trading up.This ends up being an extremely defense-heavy mock draft exercise, with the first five picks all being on the defensive side of the ball. Aaron lands on a cornerback at No. 30 (Eric Stokes) that could start from day one, a defensive end in the second round (Carlos Basham) capable of being a part of the rotation early and the same defensive tackles (Tyler Shelvin) in round three that they took in the first mock draft.They also double down at defensive end, add a safety, local college running back and a receiver to round out the selections.The guys agree that trades will be on the table for the third mock draft coming next Wednesday.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube:Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦It's us again, this time to talk to YOU about hosting your own podcast with our distributor.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with Lance Lysowski, Buffalo Sabres beat reporter at The Buffalo News on a myriad of topics trying to explain how this latest Sabres season yet again completely fell off the rails.The Sabres are the worst team in the NHL and about to spend an entire decade without seeing a single playoff game. Lance takes off the kiddie gloves and lets loose on many of the reasons spanning the head coach, the organization as a whole and most of the players.They also examine if Rasmus Dahlin is broken, if Jack Eichel will want a trade this offseason, if Linus Ullmark should be the number-one goaltender going forward and who he thinks would be a great fit to be the next Sabres head coach.Before that, Patrick pries out of Lance his favorite spot for wings now that he’s been in Buffalo for a few years and they discuss some of the personal and professional challenges of working through Covid as well addressing the perception that covering a professional sports team that completely sucks is not a fun job to have.All that and MUCH more.You can follow Lance on Twitter @LLsyowski and be sure to continue supporting local journalism by subscribing to The Buffalo News.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube:Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel ♦♦♦♦♦SPECIAL OFFER FOR LISTENERS: Get 30% off anything you order at 80’s Tees, home of the best collection of 80’s and other nostalgia themed shirts you’ll find anywhere.

On this bonus Monday episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with Anthony Marino of Buffalo Rumblings about the Buffalo Bills offseason team building as well as the rest of the AFC East.Anthony discusses his surprise at Brandon Beane’s ability to re-sign Matt Milano, Darryl Williams and Jon Feliciano all before free agency even began as well as thoughts on several of the additions and subtractions over the past few weeks. He also gives his thoughts on whether signing Matt Brieda will play a role in a potential decision to draft a running back in the first round and gives insight into a position that he feels is still a sneaky need for Buffalo.The guys also go over the pair of Miami trades last week that seem to have the team poised to put good building blocks around their franchise for years to come as well as a chat on New England and if they’re going to be content to have Cam Newton remain the starter going into the regular season.They also spend a few minutes talking about Buffalo Rumblings and more specifically the video elements to the brand they’re working on building from the ground up.Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @AnthMarino and check out Buffalo Rumblings for all the latest Bills news and commentary as well as audio podcast and live streaming videos.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube:Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel ♦♦♦♦♦It's us again, this time to talk to YOU about hosting your own podcast with our distributor.

It’s Casual Friday on this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast as Patrick Moran is joined by Del Reid, owner of 26 Shirts and co-originator of BillsMafia for their weekly chat to discuss all things Buffalo and beyond.The Buffalo Bills made a few moves since the guys last spoke, signing Mitch Trubisky and Efe Obada as well as re-signing Isaiah McKenzie. Del has a few thoughts on each and Patrick asks him if he’s in cruise control/trust the process mode at this point entering the draft next month. Spoiler alert--- Del is.Meanwhile the Buffalo Sabres continue to be the laughingstock of not just the National Hockey League but all of sports at this point. The guys try to make a little sense of it. Spoiler alert---they can't.Also, Del discusses the latest 26 Shirts campaign, one very personal to him as well as well as a conversation about the emotional toll that being in this type of work can have over time.They also spend time on their regular weekly segments and Patrick admits embarrassment after getting crushed by Del Reid among poll voters over last week’s “Favorite 80’s Movies” category that saw him net less than seven percent of the vote on Twitter. This week they’re doing a Mt. Rushmore of “Favorite TV Comedies of All-Time” and also continue their weekly “Today’s Years Old” where we learn a fun fact about zip codes as well as alcohol ice cream? Plus, did Michael Keaton or Tom Hanks have a better run of 80's movies?

On this bonus episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran hosts friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) for what will be the first of six weekly Buffalo Bills mock drafts every Wednesday leading up to the actual NFL draft that begins April 29.The mock drafts are done in real time, with the computer simulating picks for the other 31 teams on TheDraftNetwork.com.Before discussing the Bills and diving into draft prospects and scenarios, the guys spend some time discussing two teams in Buffalo’s division slotted to draft in the top three and if they move on from their current quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Tua Togovailoa respectively. Patrick thinks one will be traded on or before the draft.They also spend some time discussing the Bills biggest positional needs going to the draft and where they may be looking to go with early picks if the roster essentially stands as it does now. It ultimately leads to pseudo Bills general manager Aaron Quinn selecting a running back with the 30th overall pick.The guys also land on Buffalo adding interior offensive line, defensive tackle, wide receiver, safety, defensive end and cornerback with their other picks.An interesting development during the draft leads the guys, particularly Patrick to realizing Buffalo may be well served to add a veteran defensive end over the next five weeks.Again, this is the first of six weekly Bills mock draft installments and each time the rules will be a little different. This mock featured a “no trades” policy. That may not be the case next week.

On this episode of the future-awarding winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran welcomes back controversial social media figure, sports hot take machine and unapologetic Tom Brady hater Barry McCockiner to the podcast to discuss a variety of topics.The guys spend considerable time talking about the Buffalo Bills and Barry admits surprise to how far the team went in 2020 and particularly the play of Josh Allen. He credits the cast around him as well and discusses that for Buffalo’s winning to be sustainable it’s imperative to draft well and keep surrounding Allen with talent, something Barry points out Seattle and Green Bay haven’t done enough and a reason Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson haven’t won more rings.They also spend chatting up the AFC east and discussing if Miami and the New York Jets should move on from Tua Tagovailoa and Sam Darnold respectively to select rookies at the top of next month’s draft as well as Barry’s conclusion that Cam Newton stinks and New England won’t ever be good as long as he’s the starter.Of course, no podcast featuring Barry would be complete without a Tom Brady burial, and that’s exactly what Barry delivers---for 16 consecutive minutes.They also talk podcasting, putting together YouTube videos, why Barry thinks Cardi B is disgusting and much more.Follow Barry on Twitter @UltraWeedHater, check out his Class Act Podcast and sure to subscribe to his YouTube Channel.Don’t miss out on our latest Prize Pack Giveaway contest—an opportunity to win a a free large and 20 wings from Macy's Place Pizzeria, one of Western New York’s elite pizza and wing spots (no, seriously it is).

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with Buffalo Bills beat reporter Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News on a barrage of topics heavily focused on the Buffalo Bills and the start of NFL free agency this week.The Bills shocked a lot of people this week by re-signing Matt Milano, Darryl Williams and Jon Felciano to contracts before they even hit the open market. Jay explains the thinking that went into the signings, how they factor into the present and future and what these deals say about the organization and Brandon Beane’s ability to get things done and keep the core nucleus of this team together.They also spend time talking about several potential Bills free agents targets as well as plenty of other teams around the league as well as speculating on a few players the Bills may be interested in.Patrick also checks in on Jay’s family and a discussion on how life in the Skurski household changed during Covid with both Jay and his wife, WGRZ-TV’s Melissa Holmes working in the media.They also completely rail on the Buffalo Sabres for continuing to embarrass themselves and a fan base quickly detaching from the team.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by Sonny Red’s, Patrick Moran is joined by WKBW-TV sports anchor and director Matt Bove for a chat that includes the Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, a terrible tweet and fan interaction questions. The Sabres continue to play hockey at a level not only good for the bottom of the standings but is literally turning fans against the organization. Matt has thoughts on how things have gotten so bad, how much blame should go to head coach Paul Krueger and if he should be fired, if Jack Eichel is a lousy captain that’s allowing frustration to turn into disinterest, how embarrassed the Pegula’s should be and much more. They also spend time talking Bills, including Matt’s take on J.J. Watt signing with Arizona, the offensive line potentially running last year back and the running back position as things currently stand. Beyond the Buffalo teams the guys spend some time talking about the work challenges Matt’s had at Channel 7 over the past year being a sports director during Covid, a response to a terrible tweet about Tiger Woods and a few off-the-wall questions Matt answers that were submitted by fans, leading to discussions about pickleball and cheese pizza.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by Sonny Reds, host Patrick Moran has a conversation with Chad DeDominicis of Expected Buffalo on a variety of topics centered on the continued struggles of the Buffalo Sabres.The abbreviated 2020-21 NHL season being another lost cause for the Sabres already seems to be a foregone conclusion as Buffalo finds itself last in the Eastern division and among the fewest points in the entire league. Chad discusses several of the issues, including a growingly unhappy captain in Jack Eichel, a $9-million per year forward (Jeff Skinner) who literally can’t get on the ice, their big $8 million one-year free agent acquisition (Taylor Hall) who has one goal on the season and a defenseman expected to be a franchise cornerstone (Rasmus Dahlin) that’s looked pretty ordinary in his third season.Of course much of the Sabres woes extend off the ice and Chad has plenty of thoughts on head coach Ralph Krueger, including examining why he thinks Skinner is clearly in Kruger’s doghouse despite the coach futile attempts to deny it.Back luck has played a role in the Sabres season thus far and Chad hits on some of that too, including the unfortunate injury to Jake McCabe as he was playing the best hockey of his career and Rasmus Ristolainen still not recovered from Covid.It’s not all bad news though. Chad highlights a few of the bright spots, including the play Dylan Cozens and seemingly improvement from Casey Mittelstadt, who looked like a sure-fire bust not long ago.The guys also spend time talking the Sabres all-time draft Chad did on this podcast with Paul Hamilton, John Vogl and Kris Baker last year before getting into the rocky relationship between Sabres bloggers, podcaster and fans in general with the mainstream media. All that and plenty more.Follow Chad on Twitter @CMDeDominicis and be sure to check out Expected Buffalo, which offers incredible premium content for just $5.00 per month.Follow Patrick Moran on Twitter @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest and friend Joe from Queens and they partake in a fun “fantasy world” exercise involving Josh Allen. Prefacing everything by saying neither Pat nor Joe think the Buffalo Bills would or should trade Josh Allen they go through every starting quarterback in the league and try to figure out which, if any they’d personally trade Allen for straight-up if they became general manager of the Bills right now. Again, it’s worth prefacing by saying this is an exercise for fun designed to highlight how far Josh Allen has come in his development and to compare him to other quarterbacks around the league. That said, the rules for the exercise is that everything about the quarterback would factor into a potential trade, including the player’s talent, age, what he’s done in the present, possibly in the future and of course the player’s contract. The majority of the list makes for debates shorter than the time it will take the Pro Football Hall of Fame committee to discuss the merits of a Drew Brees induction roughly five years from now. However, there’s three guys Patrick identifies as at least being on the fringe of a discussion and eight others that deserve full-on consideration. Spoiler alerts— Patrick Mahomes is an easy decision but how many of the others end up getting the nod? The guys also spend a few minutes remembering this week being the 10-year anniversary of Terry Pegula’s introductory press conference after purchasing the Buffalo Sabres, an event Patrick was in attendance for.

Discussing Whitner leads Moran to remember his beef with Whitner right around a decade ago and he goes over it in animated detail.Before wrapping up Patrick asks Tyler for some insight on the Bills, including if he thinks the team will retain Matt Milano and/or Darryl Williams as well as talking about a pair of Green Bay running backs Patrick thinks would be good fits for Buffalo.It’s a great conversation with one of the most likable and talented national sports writers in the country.You can follow Tyler on Twitter @TyDunne.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, it’s Ten Topic Tuesday as Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover-1 Buffalo to discuss 10 topics focused primarily on the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL. It’s an offseason of uncertainty for the AFC runner-up Bills, with lots of possibilities on the table and plenty of salary cap related moves to be made. One of them may be deciding which of Matt Milano or Darryl Williams is a bigger priority to re-sign, assuming the team can only sign one of the two at most. The guys discuss who they feel is more important to the present and future of the organization and also go over some current Buffalo veterans that could find themselves released or have their contracts restricted to give general manager Brandon Beane more flexibility. They also have thoughts on how realistic recently released Houston Texans star J.J. Watt ending up with the Bills is and if they’d like to see him land in Buffalo. Each of the guys select a pending unrestricted free agent they’d most like to see Buffalo target come March 15. They also spend a lot of time talking about quarterbacks around the league, including examining if Tom Brady is getting too much credit for Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl win, where Deshaun Watson will end up, if Sam Darnold ends up getting traded and trying to forecast a landing spot for several others in what’s shaping up to be the wildest offseason quarterbacking carousel in recent memory. All this plus Jesse Pegula becoming a mainstream women’s tennis star and much more on today’s episode!

Patrick Moran talks with recurring guest Kris Baker from Sabres Prospects about a variety of topics focused both on the Sabres and Buffalo Bills.The Sabres are at least staying afloat in a shortened season through their first 10 games but it hasn’t been pretty. Kris has insight as to why the team is struggling so much five on five, Carter Hutton being lousy in net, several skaters to find production and Jack Eichel not playing great despite stats that suggest otherwise.They also spend plenty of time discussing the Bills, including what’s likely to be a big dilemma on if the Bills will have the ability to re-sign Matt Milano and Darryl Williams. Both guys are prominent players important to the present and future of the organization but salary cap issues is almost sure to derail at least one of them returning. They also add a little to the Josh Allen vs Deshaun Watson “who’s better” nonsense floating around Twitter, the possibility of acquiring Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and much ore.Follow Kris on Twitter @SabresProspects.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, the Buffalo Bills season has ended and general manager Brandon Beane conducted a press conference via Zoom this week that went well over. Patrick Moran and recurring guest/friend Joe from NYC (@BuffaloWins) react to several of Beane’s talking points and much more. For the most part Beane was pretty transparent during his meeting with the media when it came to several team matters, including how he feels about re-signing Matt Milano, not being as aggressive in free agency as the past few years with re-signings being a priority, needing more from the running back position, tight ends not being a threat to defenses and the defensive line being a light this season. The guys break down all those points and more and that predictably results in disagreements, especially when it comes to Patrick’s take on running back Devin Singletary. Joe also explains why he’s adamant that the Bills should be spending the vast majority of the resources on the offensive side of the ball despite the team ranking second in the NFL in both scoring and yardage this season. They also spend time catching up as Patrick points out this is Joe’s milestone 50th time appearing on Talking Buffalo Podcast. Before the segment Joe gets off nuclear takes on former President Donald Trump.

Buffalo traveled to Kansas City for the AFC championship game and the wheels finally fell off their magical season. Patrick and Joe discuss everything that went wrong, ranging from Sean McDermott’s rare cowardice coaching decisions to Josh Allen struggling alongside an offense that gave him little help and a defense that quite frankly had an embarrassing performance. That said, the guys discuss how successful the 2020 Buffalo Bills season was in totality. They briefly examine why the franchise is set up well for the future and spend time reflecting on how this year’s success helped bring joy, bonding and hope during a time when fans need positivity in their life now more than ever.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by David Tilton from Buffalo Fanatics and the focus is squarely on the Buffalo Bills advancing to the AFC championship game this week after defeating Baltimore last Saturday night.The Bills defense was the story Saturday night as they stifled Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense en route to a 17-3 divisional round playoff victory, highlighted by Taron Johnson’s 101-yard interception return for a touchdown to finally break open a tight game. The guys break down everything from Saturday, including Stefon Diggs being the best player on the field for either team, Josh Allen getting it done without needing to look spectacular and a defense that looked terrible for most of one drive and then tightened up the rest of the way, including knocking Jackson out of the game with a concussion near the end of the third quarter.They also hit on some guys who had some key roles that may not have gotten enough recognition, including Levi Wallace, John Brown and the Bills offensive line.They then turn their attention towards Kansas City and start to glimpse on a conference title matchup most fans and media have been wanting to see. Counting the playoffs the Chiefs are 16-1 including a nine-point win over Buffalo earlier this season, but Kansas City has looked very beatable in a lot of games.The guys also spend a few minutes talking about David’s YouTube live show he does with co-shot Steve Mathes twice-weekly on the Buffalo Fanatics brand.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by “Maniac” Zach Sheldon from Trainwreck Sports to talk about a variety of topics centered around the Buffalo Bills playoff game Saturday night against Baltimore. The Bills are set to host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round Saturday night in Orchard Park and it becomes clear quickly that Maniac’s more confident in the Bills advancing than Patrick. He points out getting over the hump against the Colts without playing particularly well last week as a reason for his confidence while Patrick discusses the Ravens running attack as the primary biggest reason for his fears. They both agree that Josh Allen performing well on a big stage last week bodes well for Buffalo and eventually both guys settle on a game prediction Buffalo fans will enjoy hearing. They also spend a few minutes talking Sabres hockey and Maniac projects what he thinks Buffalo’s floor and ceiling is likely to be for this season. Meanwhile Patrick takes a shot at hockey analytical experts and worries that Thursday’s season opener could be the first of Jack Eichel’s final 56 games with the organization.

It wasn’t easy but the Bills held on to defeat Indianapolis in Orchard Park last weekend to win a NFL playoff game for the first time since 1995. The guys break down a game that in a lot of ways after discussing feels like Buffalo should’ve lost. Joe also chimes in on what the general vibe’s been in Western New York or late as the region has been starving for moments like this for a long time. Barring Covid-19 setbacks the Sabres are also scheduled to take the ice on Thursday for a regular season game for the first time since last March.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran chats with former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski on a wide variety of topics spanning his life and career.Jerry talks about growing up in Pennsylvania not far from Philadelphia, active as a kid who played many sports including baseball, basketball and wrestling. The high school he attended included a few famous alumni, including legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Darryl Hall. While there he became a star player and drew interest from several schools before ultimately making the decision to travel to Oklahoma and play his college ball at Tulsa.There he became a three-year starter and an All-American as a senior, which afforded him the opportunity to be a part of Bob Hope’s annual Christmas special. Jerry discusses that entire experience with Patrick.In 1992 Jerry suffered the first of what would be several NFL disappointments when he was drafted by Kansas City, but not until the 10th round. He was eventually cut by the Chiefs and later signed with the Atlanta Falcons but met the same fate. Jerry explains why years later he considers Atlanta a mistake and what he was doing after that before the Buffalo Bills came calling. Jerry eventually signed with the Bills on their practice squad in 1993 and remained there until around the middle of 1994, when he was elevated to the active roster, got a chance to play and would go on to start in 102 games for Buffalo between 1994-2001.Jerry talks about his Bills career and some of the most influential people around him that helped shape the type of player he’d go on to become. He admits that the Tennessee playoff loss in 2002 still bothers him to this day, his take on Doug Flutie not starting the game and much more, including the injury that ultimately ended his career.We also catch up on what Jerry’s been up to since his playing days have ended, including being dad to one college football playing son and a second coming soon. They end with the Fun Fact Finale, where we learn plenty of things about Jerry you probably didn’t know.You can follow Jerry on Twitter @Ostroski_BigOFollow Patrick on Twitter @PatMoranTweetsfor news on upcoming guests, contests and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Make sure you subscribe to theTalking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel, which includes EXCLUSIVE audio content you won’t find anywhere else as well as highlight clips from current and past podcast episodes.♦♦♦♦♦THANKS TO OUR SHOW SUPPORTERS Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran chats with recurring guest and buddy Joe (@BuffaloWins) on a bunch of topics centered around the Buffalo Bills defeating San Francisco on Monday Night Football in sexy fashion. Josh Allen threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns for Buffalo on Monday night and in the process won admiration from plenty of fans and media nationally for his efforts. The guys break down his effort and determine why it’s now officially save to conclude Allen MVP talk for 2020 is no longer premature. Allen’s statistical dominance this year has brought several comparisons to teams of the past and more specifically Jim Kelly. Joe explains why he hates when fans and the media compare what Allen is doing this year to what Kelly did around three decades ago. They also talk about the significance of Stefon Diggs to Allen and this entire offense, Cole Beasley being far more than what Joe thought he’d be with the Bills, the complete lack of a running game and if it matters, the defense bending but not breaking on the road and what the team should do about Levi Wallace, if anything. Before wrapping up they take a look at the remaining month of the regular season and get into a debate whether the Bills should rest starters or play to win in Week 17 if the AFC East title or top overall seed for the playoffs isn’t on the line. Joe also explains how he got suspended for Twitter, runs down some of the names that’ve blocked him there, discusses if he has any significant Christmas plans in this Covid era and reveals that he has less than zero interest in the NHL season reportedly ready to start in January.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has an interview with former Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick Thomas Smith spanning his life, career and what he’s up to nowadays. Born and raised around farming in North Carolina, Thomas discusses his modest upbringing and introduction into football. A cousin of former NBA star and Tar Heels college hoop legend Sam Perkins, Smith describes that relationship and also meeting Michael Jordan well before he became the best professional basketball player to ever live. Thomas wasn’t heavily recruited out of high school for football and decided to walk on at the University of North Carolina. It was a gamble that paid off handsomely, not only for him but the for the program as they went from a one-win team his first year to seven wins and a bowl game two years later. In the process Smith transformed himself into a big-time NFL prospect. He talks about his college career as well as the process leading up to the NFL draft in 1993, including thinking that he was going to the San Francisco 49ers and his initial thoughts when Marv Levy called him to telling him he was being drafted by Buffalo, who had represented the AFC in the previous three Super Bowls. Thomas discusses the transition into the NFL and although being on a perennial championship contender surrounded with future Hall of Fame players, he wasn’t at all intimidated. Smith played primarily special teams but also some nickel defense his rookie season and the Bills would up going to their fourth straight Super Bowl. Thomas shares his feelings on that entire experience as well in addition to his entire seven years in Buffalo as he made himself into one of the most underrated cornerbacks in the league. He also talks about the Music City Miracle in Tennessee which turned out to be his last game as a Bill, why he signed with Chicago as a free agent in 2000, what made him decide it was time to retire and what he’s been up to since his playing days ended. They finish with the traditional Fun Fact Finale and we learn many things about Thomas, including a hilarious tale involving Darryl Talley when Smith was a rookie.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran has a chat with recurring guest Aaron Quinn from the Cover 1 Buffalo podcast to discuss takeaways from the Buffalo Bills latest victory as well as getting in the holiday spirit with a Christmas song draft. It wasn’t easy but the Bills moved to 8-3 on the season by defeating the Los Angeles Chargers, 27-17. As Patrick states, the Bills were quite often their worst enemy but still managed to come away with a victory thanks in large part to a defense that seems to be turning the corner on the 2020 season. The guys discuss several takeaways from the game including A.J. Klein continuing a transformation into a vital starter, Josh Allen having maybe his worst game of the season in Patrick’s opinion, getting the running back going and measuring the significance of being balanced on offense going forward. The guys also hold a five-round Christmas song draft, with classics from all different eras on the table. Patrick alternates between his childhood and the classics while Aaron stays true to his love of R&B music. You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast with Aaron and Greg Tompsett, twice weekly including a live Bills show following games. Before the interview with Aaron, Patrick hits on the Mike Tyson/Roy Jones Jr. “fight” over the weekend and brags about having Jaret Patterson on his podcast just one day before the UB superstar ran for 409 yards and eight touchdowns against Bowling Green this past Saturday.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a chat with University at Buffalo star running back Jaret Patterson on a variety of topics spanning his life and football career to this point. Jaret talks about growing up as an active child along with his twin brother James in Maryland. He began playing football at seven years old and knew pretty early on that wanted to be a running back. He became a star player at St. Vincent Pallotti high school, running for over 2,000 yards as a senior but despite his talent and success Jaret wasn’t recruited like a blue-chip prospect. Jaret talks about the recruiting process and why he chose the University at Buffalo over Kent State. He also talks about the adjustment of going from Maryland to Buffalo for college and what it’s meant to do it with his twin brother, who’s been a star player himself since being a youngster. On the field Jaret Patterson made an instant impact at UB, rushing for more than 1,000 yards and winning MAC Freshman of the Year honors. In 2019 as a sophomore Patterson shattered the school record book, rushing for 1,799 yards and 23 touchdowns. He came into this season on several Heisman and Doak Walker watch lists and through three games in 2020 it’s evident why—highlighted by a school-record 301 rushing yards (along with four touchdowns) last week in a victory over Bowling Green. Jaret also discusses his experience of playing in the Bahamas last year, his team and individual goals, his dream of playing in the NFL someday, favorite wing spots in Buffalo and a Fun Fact Finale highlighting tons of Jaret’s favorite things.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a chat with Cover 1 Buffalo podcast co-host Greg Tompsett focused on the Buffalo Bills and a spin around the NFL slate during the Bills bye weekend, a series of results that played favorably to Buffalo. The Miami Dolphins had a great opportunity to catch the Buffalo Bills atop the AFC East, but fell at Denver to the Broncos. In that game rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched by head coach in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw an interception in the end zone to seal a Denver victory. Greg has thoughts on if Miami head coach Brian Flores made the right move and what it may mean going forward. Plus, are the Dolphins sort of overrated? New England also reached life support status on their 2020 season after suffering their sixth loss on Sunday against Houston, while the New York Jets were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after a tenth consecutive loss to start the season. They also skim through the rest of this past weekend’s slate, including Patrick Mahomes showing why he’s the game’s best player, Joey Burrow’s season coming to a horrifically painful end, the Steelers continuing their undefeated streak, the Baltimore Ravens showing signs of falling apart and much more. Patrick and Greg also take a peak into Sunday’s Buffalo game against the Los Angeles Chargers, including the incredible season Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is having. They also have a discussion about how Greg handled the bye week, his attitude towards his live podcast immediately following games and how it can often be therapeutic, his positive outlook towards living life and much more. Before the interview with Greg, Patrick opens the podcast by telling a story of what he considers the most exciting football game he’s ever seen in person last weekend, a game that ultimately involved his son’s final high school football career—a contest between two high octane offenses that resulted in well over 1,000 yards of total offense and 105 total points scored.

On this championship caliber edition of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a chat with friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn, co-host of the Cover 1 Buffalo podcast on the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking loss in Arizona on Sunday with a focus on the big picture as Buffalo heads into their bye week sitting atop the AFC east at 7-3. Going beyond the obvious DeAndre Hopkins improbable game-winning snatch over three Bills defenders on the last offensive play of the game, Patrick and Aaron discuss several reasons why Buffalo lost on Sunday and why the game shouldn’t have come down to the final play or drive including takes on the Bills interior defensive line again struggling badly, Josh Allen having one of his “floor” games compared to most his MVP discussion worthy season, the Bills running game remaining a non-factor and a talented tight end that continues to hurt the team more than help it. Aaron shares plenty of thoughts on Ed Oliver not making impact plays but still doing his job reasonably well, Vernon Butler’s struggles and a semi-defense of Dawson Knox. The guys also spend time discussing the big picture as the bye comes at the perfect time for Buffalo, not just for giving them a chance to get the stench of this gut wrenching away from them but also a chance for several key players to heal more and get healthier. They also discuss the Miami Dolphins and how much of a factor they’ll be in the divisional race down the stretch. Patrick also shares a story about a recent experience at a Florida outdoor bar where he was called explicit words for wearing a mask to the bathroom.

On this episode of the championship caliber Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran is joined by writer and podcast host at Buffalo Rumblings, Anthony Marino to discuss a barrage of Buffalo Bills topics on the heels of their most impressive victory of the season over Seattle this past Sunday. Patrick speaks of generally trying to remain subdued and remain even keel following Bills games win or lose, but he doesn’t even try to act anything but excited about Buffalo handed Seattle a double digit loss. The guys spend a good amount of time discussing the architect of the 44 point onslaught on Seattle’s overmatched defense, Josh Allen. They conclude Allen was physically unstoppable on Sunday and more than halfway through the regular season Allen forced himself right back into the league MVP conversation. Of course, he’s not doing it by himself and the guys examine how big of an impact Stefon Diggs has been to Allen’s development as well as a closer-to-healthy John Brown, who Patrick says had the play of the game in Sunday’s victory. Patrick and Anthony also talk about how the defense seems to be back on track after a very disappointing first six weeks of the season, particularly Jerry Hughes as well as Tremaine Edmunds having easily his best game of the season. Patrick also fesses up to owing A.J. Klein a huge apology after the embattled linebacker was dominant against Seattle. They also warn that Buffalo’s journey to the finish line atop the AFC East is not likely to be the cruise it feels like right now, and they also spend some time talking about Anthony’s background, when he became a Bills fans and his Breaking Buffalo Rumblings podcast.

The guys go through the team by position and Aaron offers detailed insight to each before assigning a mid-term grade. Among the more interesting discussion involves the offensive line, a banged up linebacking group and a running game that’s starting to find their way. They also spend time handing out team and individual midseason awards, including perhaps a mild surprise at Best Defensive Player and a slight disagreement between the guys on the Bills worst game so far this season. Aaron also spends time elaborating on why he’s waiting for the Bills to go out and win a game that basically no one outside of the organization and fan base is expecting them. Before the football talk the guys have a rather passionate discussion about the ramifications and impact of the presidential election this week that as of podcast release time still hasn’t been officially decided. Both guys reveal who they voted for and why, the credit Donald Trump deserves whether people like it or not, why he very likely has lost the election and what expectations for Joe Biden will be over the next four years if he wins.

The unit answered their bell and delivered far and away their most impressive performance of the season. Patrick and Aaron discuss Jerry Hughes’ best game of the season and arguably one of the best of his career, the impact that Matt Milano’s limited snap count had, Dane Jackson’s stellar debut at cornerback and much more on the defensive side of the ball.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran has a chat with Overreaction Sports Podcast host Joe Miller on a variety of topics centered around the Buffalo Bills uninspiring Monday evening football loss at home to the Kansas City Chiefs. There’s no more debating whether the Bills defense has taken a decisive turn for the worse in 2020. Patrick and Joe try to figure out exactly why. One game after Ryan Tannehill lit the Bills up through the air, the Chiefs punished a physically dominated Buffalo defense to the tune of nearly 250 yards rushing on the ground. The guys have thoughts on Leslie Frazier’s schemes, lack of production from supposed young emerging stars like Tremaine Edmunds and Ed Oliver, mental meltdowns from leaders like Tre White and Jordan Poyer and a defensive line almost completely void of any pass rush over the last month. It’s not all roses and candy on the other side of the ball either. The guys discuss Josh Allen’s second consecutive subpar performance after a MVP worthy first month as well as Patrick thinking Devin Singletary’s days as the Bills featured back being numbered, the offensive line showing signs of regression, the tight end position being barely extinct and John Brown’s health becoming a significant concern. They also look at the big picture from both positive and negative perspectives and chime in on what the fortunes of the organization may look like going forward. They also spend time talking about podcasting, live shows, Buffalo during the fall and much more.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick is joined by friend and recurring guest Joe from NYC for a discussion littered with strong takes on the heels of the Buffalo Bills first loss of the season this past Tuesday night in Tennessee to the undefeated Titans. Uncertainty surrounded the game happening from last week all the way through up to game day Tuesday as Covid ran rampant through the Titans organization over the past two weeks. However, despite the Titans practicing just twice over the past two weeks it was the Bills who often looked completely out of sorts. Patrick and Joe try to make sense of exactly why as the Titans clearly dominated in all three phases of the game as well as coaching and preparation. The guys spend a bunch of time bewildered about the Bills defense continuing to falter through five weeks of the 2020 season. They discuss Tremaine Edmunds doing what Patrick considers a pretty lousy job at middle linebacker and how much his injury or who’s playing in front of him is factoring in. They also discuss the ineffectiveness of the defensive line at generating sacks and pressure on quarterbacks, particularly Jerry Hughes, who is sackless and has just one tackle for a loss through five games. On the offensive side of the balls the guys agree that John Brown was missed significantly more than they thought he’d be. They also have takes on Devin Singletary, TJ Yeldon and if just one game does anything to diminish what Josh Allen has done so far this season. They also a few minutes discussing the professional wrestling business slipping further into irrelevancy, bad NFL analysts, Patrick looking forward to Troy Aikman coming to Buffalo next week and the reaction from a surprised Joe as he learns about an upcoming election podcast he’ll be a part of.
