Andy's naked and -- that was like seriously something out of the onion or is that whatever vehicle or something website and parity website that people come up. But no it was actually real story but.

Today seemed to me when I walked outside this morning the woods. I just thought immediately false and boom it hit me like wow I was ready for football to. As soon as I walked outside it seemed like -- bills Sunday morning but it's not it's actually the beginning of you. So that's what we deal with the buffalo wild okay. Not the worst thing in the world would get over it through and we back and I have summer weather by the end the weeks ago eight in the meantime. Buckle up bundle deal would every got a -- keep locked that we are Sports Radio 550. All morning and it into the afternoon because we have a whole -- -- -- -- Paul Kariya which took its appropriateness missions up mixed up together. And coming up with a hole. But things to talk about -- so much going on this time I hear people talk about when you live in buffalo. It really sabres and bills not much going on the dog in summer no way up to -- there's a lot going on a lot to talk about things are changing. Every single hour seem like -- what we can talk about let me give you all talk about on the program today the gas and at today because we a couple of guests coming your way it's gonna wanna hear. At noon. Donald Jones wide receiver the Buffalo Bills coming up a couple of injuries last year. OTA started this week. Donald given that -- give us an update is progress. With these injuries give us an update on how OT -- going and asking house on Gilmore logistical against the men in practice how catching passes from Vince Young looks. And deals we'll talk about that. And they'll get Joba scale is -- RO TAs at about 1245 this afternoon. A -- that we had to get on the program first thing this morning. Is our very own Howard Simon from the Howard Simon show because last night. Howard -- New York back. Through their first ever no hitter. -- on Santana. It took 51. Years. And I all of you that I just could not wait. Till Monday morning to get the -- of Howard Simon. Howard have you recovered from the celebration last night I got to -- yet first and foremost what does it feel like they'll finally get that known a lot of -- man. College debate and get rid and not exactly 1986 and a world championship but it's pretty it's pretty close to it was unbelievable I wish. You know to text and my Brothers and we're all committed to rating in the called each other after the final out and it was. Actually I'm -- what -- -- behind the small no question about it. Tell me how you went to the process of your night and I think you represent a lot of the Mets fans everywhere not just here in Western New -- what was the process of your night when did you. Start watching the game when did you realize something could happen and what how how did that all developed for you. Well the good news is I was in a park to be in the -- anywhere in the right spot I liked but I work and a wife and I were out there or not. That Kim was not on and there is another upfront where lives were sit at the bar with -- and he said taking the IQ it was on at. And he said can you put the Mets game on its solid birthday let's do this first broke my to get that. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And I know I didn't know what was going on the game I just thought our great catch him and so they go to the break after that happening. I look up at the line score on achieving it Mike. Oh god intended -- -- -- -- I know what I -- I I have my sport superstition. It's OK in my book it's OK to say that to another Mets fan but as -- as I texted my Brothers and I texted my son and all that I just said are you watching the Mets game I don't think it's located text. Santana throwing a no hitter that I thought that the guy -- -- that each -- on. Oh my god that you don't notice they're so. I was so nervous that I edit but I don't think I broke the rules. Okay well again we'll get -- pass on that one and what was the last couple of innings like for you really when he got down to six outs then five in the countdown. It was torture. It'll -- eight. Wasn't as bad I just I wanted to get to the ninth -- -- -- and that I'd be god like you're gonna break it up you'd rather see it broken up and in the eight not a night I just I wanted to make it to the ninth to have a chance because honestly. I'm sure you're thinking. What necklace the last time the Mets pitcher even got denying -- but don't try to they ever have won but how close was. And then in the ninth inning to put the note up on the screen it was actually 1970. Which I didn't realize that wandered out. 1975. With fever -- the last I even got a no hitter into the ninth inning so the end. I was very nervous with with that and then the ninth I -- -- -- I would promote full time promote. Well I know that they've had some terrific pitchers over the years it's amazing to think this team. Has never thrown one considering all the tremendous need hall of fame pictures really that come through. That organization it's just got to -- there is a little bit luck involved in it and I think in the ninth inning. You know we had the the running catch by coming in on the ball in center field that take away possibly a basic but how about. The plane I think it was the sixth inning what did you feel about that did you see when it happened where can I do all -- -- -- No I didn't see it I had no idea that it happened until after the game and let it stop. I didn't even -- the replay -- -- I swipe solid evidence was on Twitter I was on Twitter you know. Go with veterans and stop and I saw people tweeting a picture. Although it -- the chalk mark a bit but mark on the line at the ball -- so I mean clearly the tablet at all. But. I'm I'll let it okay what it should not I've not given back I'm actually okay -- celebrate. Actually there's nothing out there are bad calls that work out your favorite there's bad calls that go against you sometimes absolutely -- well. I'll tell you enjoyed I got to ask you what is now that you have just like us sabres championship bills championship on your bucket list that had this had to be right up there I guess. Yeah it was big guy you know. Fifty years if you -- somewhere along the way you know that went to a number of throws what was it a no -- per forget. Earlier this season like much seriously. Former metro Detroit news things all over the place sewers like -- guys. About the Mets who owns thirteen no hitters after their -- career and you know there -- -- and -- and I expect to start the big it's just. It's never a -- you might but I'm so we're quite up -- on the bucket list I was called when -- happened and now. I felt -- we did last night at the I I actually stopped salt per second you can't compare championship for the -- at her -- that but I but I but. The euphoria of the moment and celebrating at the bar was felt Matt -- and tweeting with the expanded column my Brothers and also stop the opera moment ought. Yeah what would be like if I went out and do you watch the super ball. Or you know -- -- -- a daily cup and that what is that all going to be like when you're celebrating it texting and calling each sharing with family members so. Her brief all the last night I didn't think. Oh my -- imagine what that's gonna be like. Well I tell you our I had one in my bucket -- cross often 2003 when Syracuse won the NCAA basketball title and I think that's an interesting topic we can ask people out there today as. What's on their sport bucket list besides the sabres or bills which I think would. -- in my -- got to take our you are my thoughts last night so is my college roommate Syracuse -- who actually works for the New York Mets now he's been a -- floppy and so all of you out there it's it's great I'm sure for you to be and that's Britney. As they -- keeping an -- I mean Yankee fan I will say. I was rooting for -- and I'm really glad it happened Portman. Well thank you see I appreciate it's yeah I will say there were not -- -- that there weren't some a little arrogant obnoxious yankees and don't put her last night -- now and like. Enjoy a little noted are critical back -- the world championship banners and stop but whatever I appreciate that thanks. Right now short -- -- little bit more about this on Monday Howard Simon Howard Simon show back on Monday morning thanks a lot how we appreciate it. My pleasure have a great weekend okay UT that is Howard Simon he's enjoying it. One item cross off his sports bucket list last night. 51 years the Mets organization think of all the great pitchers that come through. That organization go back to Tom -- you've got doc Gooden in one of the greatest years ever in his I think was his rookie year second year madam -- but in one of the greatest years ever. He went through that organization never had a no hitter Chile left it what the New York Yankees. That's what Howard was talking about but it's got to be a great feeling of euphoria for that to happen. And you know he's got -- for a guy like Howard he knows that at the at for a long time he's -- have been waiting -- out to be a met in -- in any doubt that -- is impossible they haven't had enough I don't think they exist and if they did they were all gone after 2006. Right eight. I'm the subway series actually went to one of those games. When the Yankees played the match that was about. Maybe the last time -- it could really get excited. And the thirteen was either good or doing something special but of course they want losing that series to the New York Yankees but now Matt. This leaves there's two trivia question now they get answered. Number one the obvious answer Johan Santana first match ever Mets pitcher never threw a no hitter. Second trivia question answer San Diego Padres. Yep they're the only other team I don't know hitter which is you know. -- got I think maybe at some point -- there stadium in the pitchers that they bring in it. Somebody's got to have a chance but. It is amazing that there can be any teams I don't know hitter it's. It's it's a difficult feat but it's happens 345 times a year and it's amazing you gotta be Eddie couldn't do it obviously there's been pitchers who have. Pretty much thrown a no hitter and then on into oblivion we never heard of them. But generally you gotta be pretty darn good they get to that point we also have some luck involved what's your take on the sixth inning plate on the line last night. Well you know how can you not talk about it when it comes up you know you talk about this no hitter you can't just ignore that. There was a ball that hit the line that should have been fair but at the same time how many. How many other no hitters perfect games we know our -- Galarraga had one. 23 years ago where he had a perfect game there's a bad call the call the safe cell. I mean in the history books it will always read is a no hitter but I think you know in everybody's mind outside of the Mets fans' minds wanna block about the gonna say. Well that's why I wish every line. And I'll tell you this we're getting a lot of this I got this come to us on the tax line you can text us today as always. I 5550. Thanks a lot for getting involved programmed that way. This comes US from the 830 exchange -- assembly -- -- -- Says laugh out loud funny guys -- no hitter is nice but so what really it's only one game any MLB start -- -- one game and pitch a no hitter. Not every no hitter has been my -- Famer yet we covered that we know that but how about the part that says. No -- nice but so what really it's one game luck you must hate sports then I mean this is why I love sports exactly because it's not just one game it's a Matt's doing it which is different. Something tells me. When the Padres do it this is not going to be as big of a deal it's a big deal. But not as big Mets fans long suffering they have men relevant really a long time there overshadowed by New York. It's New York it's the market in 51 freaking years every other team has had one except them and the Padres. I loved it I turn -- -- last night I caught it I was really happy and thankful that I -- that even on the Yankees -- that to me it's more more than just being about winning one game. Earliest you know what's funny though. In my mind what was so compelling about it wasn't even the history necessarily -- like the history aspect they've never done it before. How much is does this mean to the fans there. But this. At the same time there was that sort of -- on manager Terry Collins and also the poll of Johan Santana here's a guy who works so hard to come back from shoulder surgery. Are you flashing all that down the toilet right we'll let him have his chance at the no hitter. What if he doesn't get it in his arm blows out what he does get in his arm blows out then that's may be your job on the line if that. Kinda throws the seasonal out of whack I mean there was still so many emotions you could see with with Terry Collins that he was going through last night. In just. Pondering should I do it should I take him out should I leave a man and the were so many little moments like the Baxter catch or even you know Santana hit a batter. But it wasn't call. They said he didn't get hit. If he gets that batter maybe Terry Collins changes as mine so there's so many different little. Aspects to that game that what if this happened what if that happened and all came together in a perfect no hitter. How hate that -- I mean you don't -- well and often -- I have followed St. Louis Cardinals as my. Quote radical baseball team since I was I don't know how you in the early -- right I loved it well. -- it's I did in it was against you or so. Which was kind of interesting -- you enjoyed that yeah -- I was. It's because it is. It is one game for you it's when I was I was in for your lines and analysts don't -- in ten has been one of the measure it -- -- right I love baseball way more than I like that the St. Louis Cardinals I would also -- and mr. Collins former. License -- manager while Terry counts -- managed three years in buffalo when they were the Tripoli affiliate for the Pittsburgh Pirates before being promoted. To the bullpen coach for the pirates in 1992. This back when I was in high school. Go to Terry Collins was managing the buffalo bison and now you see him overseas. This particular feat in Mets history I think it's awesome for him well think about all the other footprints from buffalo buys one whether they're pitching coaches. I'm not sure he's pitching coach your bullpen coach Ricky bones he was a pitching coach here in buffalo. How about the guy who's catching the game Josh toll he's played a lot here in buffalo Mike -- All in all markets -- -- the shortstop perk snow and ice was. A very good player for the buys Luke is -- in a home run last all of these guys have bison. -- principal. At. But really like the buys its had a great influence in the -- actually this is a there's a really good way to piggybacking it's a mile throw out there today. Which is what is on your sports bucket list and I don't mean. Like what you wanna do you like all replied I wanna get the Fenway are wanna see a game at Wrigley and we cannot save bills. Or sabres because we all assume that anyway I assume that you're listening -- program. 95%. Of you are probably buffalo sports fans an -- on your bucket list is the bills winning a Super Bowl and the sabres winning a Stanley Cup. So I'm not counting that what else is there. Maybe short college teammate you lot of CUB getting to a big bowl game if you wanna see your other county -- you graduate when national championship maybe you wanna see your team do something special I got when it came. Via the text like. Here's my bucket -- out from the seven point 6523. Andre -- in the whole thing. I'll also obviously bills and sabres that's an interesting one. Really under. That happens someday I don't know that to happen next year or the year after that happens someday but sports bucket list again I don't mean. Where like things you wanna do in sports just want to see a sports I guess you haven't seen yet and you wanna see it happen all you want grip top Matt. I still wanna see a -- throw back to back no hitters it's happened once in the history of Major League Baseball. We talk about we've heard about it can happen it's not unrealistic. I wanna see that is not my sport but it was that something that. I would really love to see that happen -- Johnny Vandermeer only person ever do -- long time ago so forties. Best. I have never seen a Triple Crown winner baseball. And 67. Yes. And Frank Robinson okay what about a guy 400 hasn't happened to Ted Williams. I don't know if that'll -- George Brett 1980. Came close 390 Tony Gwynn ninety. 1994. -- -- things in my sport bucket right in the strike keys used in 394. So it's not just about your team it's about things you wanna see happen. In sports. You have one for me give me a call 8030550. 888550. To 550 you can tweet me at -- sports on Twitter I appreciate between I appreciate the follow you get mad as well he's at. Matthew -- that's Tutsis to -- no space in between. And also of course Texas -- -- it by fifty. What's on your sport bucket list for a lot of you. You saw what happened last night. The New York Mets throwing their first ever no hitter in 51 years we got that. We got a lot more to talk about today including. What would happen if you went to a job interview and that guy hiring you told you only -- your wife is update and I gonna hire you. That's actually pretty much happened this week it sports a -- about that -- tiger at the extra sports talk Saturday of each year. And I OK okay. You guys -- you guys make it happen. -- -- In let me know that. Good good very -- Santana to involve his teammates right there. And the celebration -- -- -- you just have a lake a artificial rain out. At Citi Field tonight so that they can just keep celebrating because that's that big of a deal in the -- and I know it's seem like it's not that big a deal for a lot of people. Who just think it's it's one game and it's you know hey. Lot of eyes on a team that had no hitters but a little different I think what is the Mets and there's another team. It did it last night that it had no hitters before just a -- I mean we've seen Verlander throw line we seen guys throw no hitters earlier. But you know this a little different I I -- I think it's it's. Really cool thing. Have witnessed last night weather here in person. Or watching anti Felix a minibus didn't we looked over last night talk today about. You're sports bucket list of what may include because a lot of you last night saw one of those -- your bucket list. -- shot we had about earlier from Howard Simon show here WGR. That was one month bucket list see the Mets are no better. I talk about things you'll want to do you like not go to a game see this in person I'm seeing like I'm asking. What do you wanna see happen in sports really. Would be something totally cool it maybe you'll never senior life maybe one time -- shot at. -- not talking about the bills' receivers when it that's easy we can all say that. Got a few interest and tax on this topic already. How about. I'm my sports bucket -- I wanna see the LA angels have a player retired in the hall of fame Weytman. Mean. Rod -- does account I guess what does he went into the swing. It was a California Angel. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't know about it is there's this guy but you -- baseball league win as somebody else as as a -- another team that's maybe what is. Sure don't -- -- all of that thanks for the tax all right thanks -- sorry Ricky thanks for the -- we'll get to that. I would love to see a Triple Crown winner in horse racing this come to us from the Heidi I've Erica thank you I would too. I was not yell yeah I was not old enough excuse me the last time happened was 78 setting nine. Seattle -- I was too young to know that but it's happened a boat load times were horse gets to. They haven't got they didn't get the third we have a chance this year. For a Triple Crown that would be one on my bucket list it's got to happen soon right I'd have a huge crowd and baseball. I'd love to see somebody -- 400 in baseball. These -- things I'd love to see that this cannot happen in sports besides the obvious teams winning championships. That you report. Now. If you live in the south ever. -- Americans spent time there. You probably know that they live and die with college football. Not only did they live and -- with college football sounds like a religion down there. But the people who are involved in college football are just crazy about. Really far too many things that go along with. College football for example. Vanderbilt University which is located in Nashville Tennessee. There head football coach. James Franklin. Is on the defensive this week. After comments he made. For. Saying that assistant coaches are hired based on how attractive. Their wives are -- at their experience here's what he said on 1045 FM the zone in Nashville this last Wednesday during an interview. They asked about assistant coach -- and he said -- his wife. She looks the part that she's a he went out and obviously apologize after he created the storm. -- there's a very strong correlation between having the confidence. In going up to a woman in the quick on your feet having some purse personality competent to being articulate. That is wet walking into -- high school and recruiting a kid and selling them he said by the way when an apology that was an apology. But he -- want to apologize and say you know chuck is what is about to get me out okay that's all well again we know that he should know what there. But I tell -- this. If you've ever spent time the -- that you've ever lived in the south if you know about SEC football particularly. Okay. I'm telling you they like assistant coaches especially head coaches. Coaches of the football programs like Alabama Auburn maybe Vanderbilt. Note known for its academics also. Like their wives and his talent they can't go to the store dressed in. Sweat pants flip flops and have a tattoo on the lower back showing they can't do that. So for that regard. What James Franklin said it has a bit of a hint of truth to it. But he should of went all the way where he went on this but I'm telling you -- -- savings wiped. Go to the grocery store and has a few hairs out of place in her makeup is already. That's a problem in the south I'm started telling. Yet got it you gotta have. Everybody in your circle not stalking your -- your kids. Everybody in your circle when you're in that role in that area of the country. Better. Have it down to a -- To say that you are going at openly say in a radio station. That you only hire people based on their wives could -- tape your -- a baby and come work for Vanderbilt. Not a good idea James -- I'll tell you that it Nick Saban wife. Goes out of the house. Looking in like she just got up in the morning has matter coffee hasn't got her hair make up and she walks down the street. Nick Saban is gonna feel the wrath of that because his wife is not representing. Alabama and southern football in the SEC the way she shut. So James Franklin the Bible is Vanderbilt is -- not it's not Alabama not Auburn I know they got like. In academics here to hold up to as well at Vanderbilt insert a pretty lofty. You academic institution at least as far as being in a conference like the SEC and other compare conferences. But. -- Franklin is feeling the heat today. He said quote my foot doesn't taste good I hope I did not offend anyone I love and respect. Attempt at humor obviously fell a few yards short. He went on to say this really related to the fact that. He likes hiring men who have the confidence. To go up to attractive women now now now. Sorry James what you meant to say was exactly what you set. Which is basically it's kind of like the Little League dads used to know who told me they only draft kids based on the fact that their mama's good look at. Because then the modicum delegate CA can't say stuff like that. And that's what -- 8030550. Is the number. 888550. To 550 yards out of pot she'll get to -- -- sell sports on Twitter but I also wanna take your phone calls today. On your sports bucket list what does -- include we have some -- coming in about this. Well how what this really interesting one. Sell my bucket list would include OJ being removed from all Fey and Steve tasker getting it. -- How about that comes -- him five more importance of -- to Terry hears from the 631 area code which I've no idea where Metallica. Salad what you see a Saber when the scoring title in a season. That is Jim Puckett Batavia. Thanks to him. Interesting stuff Major League Baseball team the buffalo someone chime in with the fact that almost in 93 yeah. No probably not gonna happen. Here's some more like 5550. I'd like to see a Super Bowl go to overtime that's a pretty cool one. Now that did happen right terrible five. Colts dolphins. Only time it ever happen they kick the field all the over I think that went to overtime. That is ever actually -- came close a couple of times we've seen short balls are not last place point five. Tennessee. Saint Louis. But we have not seen. A Super Bowl go to overtime that would be a critical one. 8030515. If you want to chime in on Twitter at -- sports also. -- -- collar as well also today. You know the NBA had its draft lottery. And there's a big buzz about that. And some thought -- that I like your thoughts -- sports conspiracies to talk about that a little while and let's go out real quickly to Brian -- talk about his sport bucket list right here at WGR. Well my sport bucket list is related to one and you just read off a little emitted in or -- In regard to people strip and want to strip OJ go off. -- awards on. I I mean his dog get so tired hearing them because of what he got was an award on the field had nothing to do with any behavior afterward you know. And all but. Actually the first bucket list I'd like to see I know you said don't count -- -- newspapers but I love to see you Super Bowl title here. Of course we all right I mean it would be number one and all of our minds I would think. And -- made. About you being attracted can get hired by the Vanderbilt how would you like to work for Bobby Petrino instead. And I guess that would be a little bit worse I guess right there's worse -- there are worse things than not. Having your head coach -- only your -- today. Okay yeah I have a good date now. Thanks a lot no problem right that would be okay I think I'd be sick by -- know -- I have a gorgeous wife but. For the man cannot say that it's a little bit over the top. Again Matt that's kind of like when you're in Little League and I know some Little League -- used to tell me I only draft the players who moms are good looking they -- all the games not the smartest thing to say. It's just creepy and pathetic too yes I would -- empathetic I would agree I agree but. Again if -- save his life. -- grocery store not looking like. Nick -- why should -- Nick Saban is into trouble and Alabama are just the latest there freaking out there about the way they treat their these this whole. -- college football and the extension of your -- with. You gotta you gotta -- and that way and that particular way you actually have to be -- part of the package. While you know I have a lot of makeup on today myself okay for you -- so it's not just himself okay well not just in the south today here -- -- GR. We -- only allowing producers to work. If they are dates -- cal was sports next what does that pops up about two and a beach. Welcome back to sports talk Saturday here -- every -- Sports Radio five that the that was Dave Wannstedt talking about Stephon Gilmore the Buffalo -- first round draft pick. And OTA's open this week we are gonna have Buffalo Bills wide receiver Donald Jones on the program in just about fifteen minutes from now. And we are gonna ask Donald about doing it Stephon Gilmore in practice in OTAs just get a feel I know that there's no pads on your battery like that. Does it feel what we can expect -- -- up -- lost last Donald obviously how he's feeling coming up a couple of injuries last year. Trying to get back on the field healthy to start the year is coming along last year as the number two wide receiver in -- -- some injuries yet some setbacks in. And then of course later in the year lot of other injuries occurred with the Buffalo Bills the team trying to stay healthy. And and that twelve year playoff -- I think you can make I think if you take about I think it's gonna take. Ten wins to get their but it could take now. It could take nine but generally generally. Ten wins get you into the playoffs. Not always. New England had eleven in 2008. They did make it the year Brady went down and Matt Cassel filled and the jet but the last two years twice the last few years. A wild card got -- 97. Now. -- -- -- ten wins unrealistic. I actually disagree I think it's. Great to -- got to stay healthy in this league we all know that all -- a guy goes out while I get that. I think looking at the schedule. Ten wins is far more realistic. When I break it down there when you just think about the number ten wins. And violated South Korea on a blog post at WGR 550 dot com you go to their take a look in -- our opinion section. I have a blueprint of how the bills can get to ten wins. I don't think it's a lot to -- You win three games in your division. Out of the six. Whether that's sweeping Miami and then only going one in. Three against the jets and patriots Aureus split against every team what ever think three wins is not a lot to ask of the division. You should went three game division if you don't you don't deserve to make the playoffs most likely. That's three right there. You've got to beat the teams that you're clearly better than Cleveland Saint Louis and you got to beat them. That's that's and three more wins that's six total. That all I'm asking is out of the three home games. At the Ralph. Tennessee Kansas City Jacksonville out of those three just went to -- Because you never gonna win all three get your always gonna lose the game you think you should win or your favorite and things happen team -- and they run the ball well whatever. Just going to those three Kansas city Tennessee. Jacksonville. They got three division. Cleveland and Saint Louis makes 62 out of those 378 -- -- organs folks to get two wins. You're -- for your Arizona you're used it -- -- Seattle up in Toronto. You find two wins out there I think ten is -- Matt and I being pie in the sky here by the -- optimistic. The more -- looked at it I really felt that this was actually possible more than. I believe it was in the first place with a simple number of tan. It's always cartel mean last year you know how things went I thought last year was harder schedule now you know just game for game when I look at this one might think. -- -- Unless there's some real surprises in the NFL and -- this team really gets injured beat up like it last year. There's no reason not to think that there's ten teams on the schedule that can't be beat by this team so maybe that's a little bit of a cop out. But you know I feel -- a feel like I understand which -- there. So go look it up read it. A blueprint for how the bills and get ten wins this year tech WGR 550 dot com it's in the our opinions section. Taking a lot of your calls your lot of Texans we -- coming in mostly on this sport bucket list thing. We had a no hitter thrown by the Mets last night for one at 51 years. Guys like Howard Simon my college roommate Joseph works -- the Mets now is like something that was on their bucket list it. You always hear about it no no hitters don't know hitters fifty years now -- -- one and they finally got one -- get that up your bucket list I'm assuming most people out there. They're bucket list includes the bills when he Super Bowl the sabres when he Stanley Cup -- other than that what is on your sport bucket list. All of this -- an actual college football playoff. That is an interesting one because it can't happen. Thanks a lot of that text. That's from John out in Oregon. Now. Another one that actually should have happened by now it hasn't happened in the only reason why it hasn't happened is because the two sides have made it happen. That is. Mayweather against -- Many -- see that should at that should be. -- -- happened already and it never happens I don't outside it's one bucket list and less it's like their hardcore boxing the end because it never happens I'm not to be like oh my god I died without seeing this fight. But it hasn't but it should happen to better have a zone -- because guys and older. And the only reason it hasn't so that's a blessing it can it can happen just by people getting together. It's not like you know just happened that -- -- to its sports watching it and it goes down. I feel bad I never got to see Mark McGwire take batting practice. I wish I had been able to see big Mac take BP we -- I actually have one of those kinds of bucket list for me but it's not sports and ever saw Sinatra perform life. And I must not -- I like his stuff and I grew up I had chances like you know I was in college and stuff like that. Any guidelines in my twenties I never saw perform and I like Frank Sinatra. And as an Italian American I would've enjoyed going to -- his performances. There's an endless amount of artists that you could say yes that is true Jimi Hendrix -- now. But -- that would be the one for me now we're talking about this whole. The guy Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin talked about how he only hires. Assistants. Whose wives or behaves he should've said that we all know that. But speaking of -- and being made and how it affects a player or coach or whatever. You remember the draft riots in hill's wife Lawrence in -- She had more -- her appearance at the apple draft the most of the players. They were talking about her tweeting about her more varied between about Ryan -- Well. Guess what. She now. It's going to appear and Maxim Magazine. The wife of writing -- now I have no problem with this woman appearing to Maxim Magazine she's beautiful she want to do it that's honor that's fine. But what is going on out of Miami like seriously. They've Marty had. A whole year plus worth of the fact of Stephen Ross Ross trying to make headlines more than winning games this just yet another distraction for a team that can't seem to get on course and -- with -- by the way because at the Miami Dolphins. The more distractions the -- I don't know if. I mean it's great this woman's doing this. But really like I wonder how it as a sports fan I look at it and say how does affect the dolphins how does it affect a rookie quarterback coming in trying to win a job. Trying to be the starter in the league. That is why is garnering all this kind of hoopla even before he steps out in the field she's going to continue to be doing this it's kind of like -- coming in New York. He gets all. All the attention and the distraction it's gonna go along with -- yet he's -- in the starting quarterback. Over at the Hasselbeck. So I've. She's the girl on the right yes out on the view Tim Hasselbeck and her husband. Yes the government play any games in the NFL he was when he -- -- guys were for a cup of coffee yes. Good for him so -- can help set to appear and Maxim Magazine according to a report odd nfl.com and other places but. You checked out and yes the night of the draft they are showing ranked getting on the green room and like. Everyone was all the buzz over his wife -- well it's gonna continue to be that way in Miami. You'll be talking about her more than we talk about him in and here's a team that needs their rookie quarterback. To actually be focused and playing on the field and getting ready to go out there and when a starting job. All right we're to have Donald Jones the Buffalo Bills and return. Later next hour. Open up a can of worms. -- -- big and alarms. Or talk sports conspiracies. The NBA draft lottery won by the team that basically owned by the league. There's been a lot of sports conspiracies over the years how real are they. And especially with buffalo sports how much you believe in them. So we'll get to that we'll get the Dow Jones will get the -- -- but right now I -- -- -- Mac cal was sports here and WGR and return more sports talks after this.
