LetsTalkAboutItChris Johnson revealed that he has ALS. The former Titans star publicly announced the diagnosis June 29 and said doctors believe he has sporadic ALS. Tennessee has since supported Johnson's effort to revive the Ice Bucket Challenge and will honor him in its Ring of Honor. This is bigger than football and has to lead the show.Ahman Green revealed an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis. The Packers' all-time leading rusher said he was diagnosed in January 2025 after initially noticing symptoms during sleep. Green said he remains optimistic and is managing the condition through medication, exercise and diet.Deebo Samuel is returning to the 49ers. San Francisco reunited with its former playmaker on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million as the organization deals with uncertainty throughout its receiver room.Tampa Bay's contract situation is becoming a full organizational problem. Baker Mayfield says he feels undervalued after extension talks stalled, while Vita Vea has requested a trade and is drawing substantial interest. Two of the team's most important leaders entering camp are publicly unhappy.The Eagles reset the defensive tackle market for Jalen Carter. Philadelphia reportedly gave Carter a four-year, $152 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.Aaron Donald comeback speculation is real enough to discuss. Donald has resumed on-field work, Sean McVay has not exactly shut down the conversation and Myles Garrett has openly entertained what the pairing could accomplish for the Rams.Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers remain headed toward an ugly ending. Aiyuk has publicly aired grievances, repeatedly connected himself to Washington and reportedly allowed communication with the Commanders to fall “off the track.”Aaron Rodgers says 2026 is his final season. Rodgers returned to play for Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh but says there is “zero debate” about another season in 2027.CollegeFootballNewsThe 2027 quarterback evaluation cycle is underway. Oregon's Dante Moore is already receiving comparisons to C.J. Stroud, while Darian Mensah has reportedly generated legitimate franchise-quarterback evaluations from scouts.Brendan Sorsby has made the supplemental draft relevant again. Dallas reportedly viewed the former Texas Tech quarterback as a developmental option, and his availability has created a real discussion about whether teams should spend future draft capital this summer.The next running-back class is beginning to form. Early rankings and breakout lists are already moving the conversation away from the completed 2026 draft and toward which college runners can emerge during the upcoming season.Rookie evaluations are finally moving from draft grades to football. Fernando Mendoza has signed his deal with the Raiders, Ty Simpson is under contract with the Rams and players such as Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are entering camp with immediate expectations.TakeOrTangentThe football cost may be showing up years after retirement. Johnson and Green played the same position during an era that celebrated running backs absorbing extreme physical punishment. Their diagnoses can lead into a deep discussion about neurological health, player care and what the league owes retired players—or simply a moment appreciating both careers.Can Deebo Samuel actually recreate the old magic in San Francisco? The surface conversation is whether he helps the receiving corps. The deeper tangent is whether returning to a familiar coach and system can reverse years of physical decline and organizational tension.Would Aaron Donald's return make the Rams unfair or merely famous? Donald, Garrett and the Rams' upgraded secondary look terrifying on paper. The tangent is whether a retired interior lineman can return directly to championship-level football conditioning.Why are teams extending defensive stars earlier than quarterbacks? Philadelphia moved decisively with Carter, while Tampa allowed both the Mayfield and Vea situations to become public. Is defensive value becoming easier for teams to price, or are quarterbacks simply asking for numbers teams no longer want to guarantee?Is Pittsburgh protecting Aaron Rodgers or changing its identity? Mike McCarthy eliminated live tackling from training-camp drills in his first year replacing Mike Tomlin. That can be a simple injury-prevention story or a larger conversation about whether the Steelers are no longer interested in performing toughness for tradition's sake.TouchdownOrTurnoverDeebo back to San Francisco on a one-year deal.The Eagles paying Jalen Carter before his leverage grows further.The Rams encouraging an Aaron Donald comeback.Rodgers announcing his retirement plans before the season.The Saints giving Chris Olave four years and $132 million.Cleveland making Denzel Ward the NFL's highest-paid defensive back again.The Browns extending Grant Delpit for three years and $48 million.Tampa refusing to meet Baker Mayfield's current valuation.Indianapolis refusing to trade Anthony Richardson cheaply despite his reported request to leave.The Rams drafting Ty Simpson rather than spending that first-rounder on immediate help.The NFL reducing the gap between the combine and free agency to one day beginning in 2027.FairOrFadeBrandon Aiyuk versus the 49ers: Aiyuk has taken his complaints to social media, pitched himself to Washington and continued escalating the split publicly. Is he fairly exposing how San Francisco handled him, or trying too hard to manufacture his preferred exit?Baker Mayfield versus the Buccaneers: Mayfield says the organization's offers made him feel disrespected and undervalued. Is that fair after what he has done for Tampa, or should the team be cautious about committing approximately $50 million annually?Vita Vea versus the Buccaneers: Vea requested a trade after unsuccessful contract efforts, and Mayfield publicly supported him. Is this a player correctly using his remaining leverage, or a veteran trying to force Tampa into paying for past production?Josh Allen versus critics of Buffalo's Nickel City uniforms: Allen told people to stop hating on the new alternates. Fair defense of a fresh look, or fade because the uniforms really are that bad?Ja'Marr Chase versus his own teammates: Chase ripped off and threw a teammate's helmet during a camp confrontation, then framed the incident as the competitiveness he wants from the defensive backs. Fair football intensity, or an unnecessary escalation from a team leader?Trey McBride versus Cardinals fans: McBride walked back his previous claim that there are “no Arizona fans in Arizona.” Was the original comment an honest observation, or disrespect toward a fan base already tired of being mocked?

In this episode, Rob & DT are back from summer break as our beloved Buffalo Bills begin Training Camp ahead of the '26 season.

Got a text from Jean yesterday saying that they're loving their time in Boston. I can't wait to hear all about her trip when she gets back next week. In the news this morning, the Minocqua Brewing Company has it's license revoked, a nationwide recall on Thyroid medication, a Costco settlement could mean money in your pocket, a tragic murder/suicide in Michigan, Myspace is apparently attempting to make a comeback, and Oscar Mayer is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Wienermobile with a special "wiener cake". In sports, the Brewers beat the Giants last night and go for the series sweep later today, the Tony Romo arrest video has been released, Kyle Shanahan takes full responsibility for the accident he was recently involved in, Micah Parsons is starting the season on the PUP list for the Packers, and Adrian Peterson will be inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor later this season. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a possible "Home Alone" sequel starring Macaulay Culkin might be in the works, David Lee Roth & Alex Van Halen are reuniting in Fargo for a TED talk, and the kids from "The Sandlot" are going to be in a new series called "Dugout Dads". Great story about a guy who beat cancer and decided to celebrate by canoeing the Missouri river with his dog, a kid in Florida is getting recognized for reading to shelter animals, and a message in a bottle is found 53 years later and returned to the family of it's original sender. It's Hump Day, so that means "One Gotta Go Wednesday"…and today's edition was food related - Burgers. Tacos. Pizza. Or fried chicken? Elsewhere in sports, the Browns re-up Denzel Ward and make him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history, Ohio State and Notre Dame make record deals for sponsorship patches on their respective uniforms, Bills fans AND some of their players absolutely hate their new "Nickel City" uniforms, and a minor league baseball player gets trucked by a mascot in a Santa suit. I personally don't think that mini-vans were ever cool…but apparently the younger generation is trying to make mini-vans a "thing". And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a daycare worker that locked a kid in the closet so she could go to the liquor store, a bunch of rabid beavers in NY & NJ keep attacking people, a #FloridaMan who got busted for drugs while on the phone with his "bae", & a self-service kiosk at Popeye's restaurants is asking people to tip the kitchen staff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Rob & DT give their takeaways from Bills OTA's that just wrapped up this week before Rob gets something off of his chest that has been bothering him regarding new HC Joe Brady. Josh Allen is throwing to D.J. Moore and although it's routes on air, it looked wonderful nonetheless. 17 finally has a WR1 again and that has to be positive for the '26 Bills offense.Landon Jackson & Dewayne Carter seemed to have beefed up this offseason. Could their roles change in Jim Leonhard's new 3-4 defense? Dion Dawkins looked a little overweight while at OTA's. Is it a cause for concern or is it too early to worry about it?Finally, Rob wonders if Joe Brady is just Brandon Beane's 'Yes Man' and if it'll hurt his chances at success when the regular season begins. DT strongly disagrees and explains why we'll have plenty of time to get after Brady, but now isn't it. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT recap the sobering end to the Buffalo Sabres season while expressing gratitude for such a memorable season. What lies ahead now? The fellas both believe now is the time to go all in as this team was close to their goal of winning The Cup. DT breaks news to end the show regarding our sponsor!

In this episode, Rob & DT again enjoy their favorite time of the offseason as the '26 NFL Schedule was released last night. We knew the opponents, now we know the order and the fellas dissect it all.The first 5 games are going to be an early season stiff test for Joe Brady & Co. as our beloved Bills will face some tough AFC competition with the home opener in Week 2 against a hungry Lions team. The Bills play the Raiders Week 5 followed by the bye week and then 2 contending teams in BAL & MIN before playing the two tanking AFCE teams. Again, another brutal 5 game stretch follows thereafter featuring our annual clash with KC followed by NE, GB, CHI and DEN! If our '26 Bills are among the top teams in the conference by the end of the regular season, it'll be because they most definitely earned it.NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTPresented By: Queen City VintageRob & DT discuss how they've been consuming the Sabres 2nd Rd playoff run that may come to an end tomorrow in G6, but in true DT fashion, he's holding onto the last bit of hope. Either way, it's been an amazing run for the entire Sabreshood and the city of Buffalo and their fans across the world.

In this episode, Rob & DT are joined by Rob's Twitter buddy, Tom Ames, host of Bills Mafia Inn on X, to breakdown all 10 draft picks for our Buffalo Bills and what their impact could be on the team this year and beyond.Rob & DT admit that Rd2 of the draft picks for the Bills confused them at first, but in time, made more sense. T.J. Parker is a high end talent with power and a relentless motor. Davison Igbinosun is a physical and fast press Man CB who adds needed depth to the secondary in Jim Leonhard's new defense.Jude Bowry is adding more depth to the offensive line after the losses of David Edwards and swing T Ryan Van DeMark.Skyler Bell is Rob's favorite Bills pick of the draft while DT preferred a bigger WR. Kaleb Elarms-Orr could compete for immediate playing time at LB while defensive back Jalon Kilgore is an unanimous Bills Mafia favorite. Beane drafts Zane Durant to fill the need at DT, but Tom is concerned about his lack of prototypical size for the position. Our Bills drafted a punter in Tommy Dorman, so we all know what that means for the P battle in camp this summer. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageThe fellas highlight their respective weekends ahead of Sabres G6. Rob is kind of nervous while DT is as cool as a hockey puck.

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPRICARDORicardo grew up watching cooks in his dad's Mexican joint in LA, dropped out of school, made some choices he'd rather leave in the past, and eventually decided he wasn't ready to go out like that. What followed was 18 years of cooking across LA, New York, Atlanta, and the Michelin-starred hills of Montecito — each city refining what mattered: the line, the craft, and the relentless itch to open something new. Now he's back in Austin running Konbini, a Japanese-Mexican late-night spot serving Omakase-quality fish next to a caviar-topped hot dog, and somehow, the hot dog is always the one people can't stop talking about. In this episode, he shares his journey from poverty to the kitchen, breaks down the realities of the food industry, leadership on the line, and how AI could impact restaurants, while also diving into Austin's food scene, the economics behind his menu, and the deeper ways consumerism can shape a person's path.Follow Ricardo:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elchefricardo https://www.instagram.com/konbiniatx00:42 Ricardo's Pop-Up Concept in the Works04:19 What Makes Austin's Food Scene Actually Different06:47 Murray's, Nickel City & the Late-Night Gap07:00 18 Years in the Kitchen09:33 How Ricardo Got Into Sushi (The Unexpected Path)11:05 Running a Michelin Star Location13:23 The Thing That Made Him Leave the Street Life17:15 Nothing's Below You — The Line Cook Mindset21:33 Austin's Culture of Collaboration23:18 Will Austin Lose Its Soul?25:00 SpaceX, Tech Money & What Happens to the City42:01 The High-Low Philosophy at Konbini47:58 Farm-Raised vs. Wild-Caught52:03 AI and the Future of the Restaurant Industry54:07 Sky King's Dystopian UBI World (Edopunk)57:36 Ricardo's Next Chapter The Pop-Up DreamListen to the complete episodes of Sky King's Mental Playground, sign up at skmp.supercast.comFollow Sky on XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow Sky on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Rob & DT breakdown Brandon Beane trading down THREE TIMES last night in Rd1 of the NFL Draft and what it means for the rest of the draft as Rd2 & Rd3 begin tonight.Beane seemed determined to recoup the 2nd Rd pick he gave up in the D.J. Moore trade and traded down 3 different times to get it done. Was that a mistake? Which prospects could our Bills have been targeting at the original 26th pick?Some are still upset at the price paid in the D.J. Moore trade but Rob provides some perspective explaining it a different way after Beane hauls in 3 extra picks after Rd1 last night. Who are the targets now that the Bills are flush with 9 draft picks overall between Rd2 & Rd7? What are must need positions to address?Are the Patriots going to fire Mike Vrabel after his drama comes to light?NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageDT gives an update on the buzz in the city from the Sabres playoff run and says the city hasn't been this alive this time of year in ages, literally.

They close the show by giving a much deserved shoutout to our fellow Buffalo Sabres and their long suffering diehard fans.Brandon Beane finally admitted that last season's WR room wasn't cutting it and went out and traded for D.J. Moore from the Bears. Did he pay too steep of a price?Bradley Chubb was the other big name acquisition for Beane and all of The Mafia is hoping he can stay healthy and contribute when the postseason rolls around. Beane made additions to the defensive backfield including an absolute dawg in CJ Gardner-Johnson that has Rob excited.Who are the Bills going to pick with pick #26 in next weeks 26 NFL Draft?

In the Season 5 finale episode, Rob & Dump Truck discuss our Bills hiring Joe Brady to be the new Head Coach and what it means for the future of the franchise. Joe is an energetic man who will no doubt leave his mark in this team for good or for worse. Do you believe that the Bills truly did an "exhaustive" search to find their new HC? After 9 candidates and not wanting to wait on Klint Kubiak for weeks to come, the fellas are satisfied believing that President Beane and Co. did their due diligence.What are the Bills getting in Joe Brady? One thing that is 100% for sure, is that he brings an energy & swagger that is totally opposite from McD and that might be just what the doctor ordered for our Bills going forward. Does Brandon Beane truly understand that 17 needs more weapons? Despite his ego/bravado, Beane has shown us over the last two years that he isn't tone deaf when it comes to team needs and Rob is praying that is the case once again as the WR room needs major work ahead of the '26 season. Was Brady in any way held back by McDermott's philosophy during his 2 season as OC? DT explains how working for another person can be a delicate balance and now Brady doesn't have anyone else to answer to on game days and how that can be good for this offense moving forward.NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT express their gratitude on another awesome season and Rob talks about how fun it has been to watch The Crew grow in numbers. The fellas will now take some time off which includes hate watching SB 60 before coming back better than ever for Season 6 sometime around the draft or thereafter. DT reminds The Crew that an emergency podcast can be called at any point if our Bills trade for Justin Jefferson! LOL.

Rob & DT are back to recap the season ending loss in Denver along with the drama-filled week thereafter that started with the firing of HC Sean McDermott and culminated with the press conference heard around the NFL world.Wow, that was yet another gut wrenching loss that our Bills suffered last Saturday night in Denver as the '25 season officially came to a close with a 33-30 OT loss to the Broncos.So many things went wrong for our Bills led by Josh Allen's 4 turnovers (5 total) and yet somehow, we were still in it in the end which makes it even more maddening. 17 was horrendous while being simultaneously great in some spots which was the ultimate roller coaster to witness. In the end the mistakes were too much to overcome as we head into another offseason falling short of the end goal.Speaking of falling short, Terry Pegula decided enough is enough and fired HC Sean McDermott after 9 seasons at the helm. The decision didn't both the fellas as they both agreed it was long overdue, but the manner in which they presented it during Mondays press conference rubbed Rob & Dump Truck, along with a large portion of The Mafia the wrong way.Does Brandon Beane even know that is roster isn't up to snuff? Or does he truly believe we have a SB caliber one? Regardless of his true feelings, the presser screamed of tone deaf leadership which is making the fellas uneasy at such a crucial time in our Josh Allen timeline.Who do you want our Bills to hire as the next HC? The Bills are conducting a widespread search which isn't a bad thing, but they'll need to hit a homerun on this next hire as we are firmly in the 2nd act of 17's career.

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck share their fondest memories of 'The Ralph' ahead of the '25 NFL playoffs.Our Bills lost to the Eagles 13-12 last Sunday, but could it be a blessing in disguise as they now can rest their key players in regular season finale?What are your favorite memories at Highmark Stadium? From the epic tailgates to memorable matchups, the Bills stadium became a 2nd home for so many members of The Mafia. Rob & DT pay homage before the final game (most likely) ever to be played there.Goodbye, Old Friend. You will be missed in more ways than we can even express with words. 

In this episode, Rob & DT quickly discuss our Bills' ugly win 23-20 over the Browns in Cleveland last Sunday.Was the lackluster performance cause for concern or no big deal? DT doesn't think it's much to do about anything while Rob isn't so sure. Either way, Rob is hoping Joe Brady is in fact holding schemes/plays back for the postseason. Boy, the shine really is off of this week's game against the defending SB Champs, but the fellas find intrigue in the game despite how it may appear heading in.Finally, who should be worry about most in the AFC as the '25 NFL Playoffs approach? Rob thinks our Bills could beat or lose to any team in the conference, while DT has a completely different stance.NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & Dump Truck go over stories of their Christmas holiday festivities.

In this episode, Rob & DT discuss our Bills making another comeback last Sunday against the hated NE Patriots to secure the 35-31 victory.The fellas aren't sure why it's taking 1/2 the game, but Sean McDermott seems to have the magic recipe for 2nd half adjustments as the Bills made the changes needed to stop the bleeding after halftime. Why does it take so long for the defense to get into gear? Can we afford to have a slow start during the playoffs or is it too risky? Either way, McD has had the pulse to push the right 2nd half buttons to make things work throughout the season and Rob gives him his flowers.Any chance of an upset this week? The Bills need to handle business quick and early to avoid any type of confidence builder for a struggling Browns teamNICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob asks Dump Truck if he's all ready for Santa who is coming to town next Thursday as they trade stories from last weekend. Christmas is in the air and even the Grinch himself Rob can't deny the season. 

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck discuss our Bills comeback victory over the Bengals on last Sunday, before shifting their focus to this massive matchup against the hated NE Patriots. Last week was a stressful, yet incredible game to watch as the Bills came back from down 10 twice to beat Cincinnati. Josh Allen is not human!!! Well, at least Rob doesn't think he is after the amazing plays he made for our Bills once again. How clutch is this dude, huh? Christian Benford made an all-time memorable play and we'll need more from him and others as the playoffs approach. Rob thinks that the game this Sunday matters regardless of our Bills' chances to win the AFCE because it will serve as a reminder of who we are while also serving notice to NE of who they are not! Mindset plays a big role in professional sports and letting NE know on the eve of the playoffs that they still aren't on our level can go a long way.Can we get a pass rush, please?!?!?! Joey Bosa is set to return Sunday for the game and not a moment too soon as the Bills struggled to even lay a hand on Burrow last week. Can he provide the juice needed to affect Drake Maye?NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT talk aboht how Christmas is in the air at both of their houses despite Rob being a Grinch while DT shares a cool emotional story about the Jamestown Christmas Parade he just attended.Rob shares his menu from last week and what's on deck for Sunday against the team he can't stand the most.And we're about to be Aunts & Uncles Bills Mafia as we broke on the show that 17 & Hailee are expecting their first child. Congratulations to QB1 and the First Lady of The Mafia!!!

In this episode, Rob & DT discuss how our Bills can finally beat the Cincinnati Bengals led by their elite QB, Joe Burrow, who seems to always have the answers for McD's defenses.How will this game script go after how well the BIlls ran the ball against Pittsburgh last week? Can we just feed Jimbo all day long to victory? Or will the passing attack need to keep up with Burrow?Rob stands by his stance last week that the AFC is wide open with no true team to "fear". Does DT agree?Finally, the Bills and Darius Slay seem to be at an impasse. Is it even worth forcing him to stay at this point?

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck breakdown the remaining 6 games of the '25 regular season for our Buffalo Bills as Rob has sworn to NOT talk about the potential firings of McBeane anymore until the offseason. They are joined by friend of the show and host of The Mob Files, Sheed (@Sheed808) to help makes sense of it all. Both starting tackles will be out for the Steelers game on Sunday. Are we in for a good 'ol fashioned brawl in Pittsburgh?What is the realistic record for our Bills down this final stretch? Sheed thinks it would be best for the Bills in the future, if we don't even make the playoffs as opposed to giving Terry Pegula false hope, while Rob & DT struggle with that concept.Why does a portion of the fan base feel like Sheed does? It's a popular opinion that has been circulating around The Mafia and the fellas discuss its merits. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT talk about everything Turkey Day and how the festivities went.

In this episode, Rob & DT discuss our Bills losing 23-19 in Houston on TNF dropping them firmly into the wild card picture at 7-4. What the heck happened and can it be fixed in time to salvage the '25 season from disaster. Rob is pissed at the offensive performance Thursday night and asks DT to help talk him off the ledge as Josh Allen was sacked 8 times and pressured over 20 times during a horrible night in Houston against the Texans. What were the issues with the offensive line? Why didn't Joe Brady make adjustments to help his o-line against a ferocious Houston d-line? Something needs to change as letting 17 get hit that often is not sustainable.Everybody Eats isn't working, just as Rob warned us about in the offseason. Brandon Beane is hurting the team with this philosophy and it's time for a change in approach. Will the Bills agree and pivot over this final 6 game stretch? DT feels it's important to let Josh get loose as that's when he is at his best.At 7-4, the Bills are now most likely out of the #1 seed contention along with the AFCE at this point, so Rob shifts the focus to the wild card and reminds Bills Mafia that weird stuff can happen in the playoffs. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT give a rundown of last week's festivites ahead of the Bills win over Tampa Bay at The Ralph including a visit to the tailgate by a great friend & guest of the show.

In this episode, Rob is joined by a thoughtful guest panel to discuss Josh Allen's mindset, Joe Brady's offense and the future of our '25 Bills ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.With DT away on work, Rob asks some of his most trusted members of The Mafia to help him decipher what Josh's body language could be telling us fans and most importantly, his teammates as Rob has noticed 17 sulking on the sidelines more than he'd like to see recently. Is Josh frustrated with himself or Brady? Regardless, everyone is watching him and attitude does in fact reflect leadership. Joe Brady's offense has come under fire this season and it may be reaching its boiling point after Sundays debacle down in South Beach. Who is to blame for our Bills' putrid performance against the Dolphins? What can we expect going forward with 8 games remaining in the regular season?Special Guests:@ScottMFrey@FernandoSchumde@OL22_Bills

In this episode, Rob & DT discuss everything about our Buffalo Bills at the halfway point of the '25 NFL season. From their improbable win last Sunday over the Chiefs, to the trade deadline inaction by Brandon Beane and beyond.Never a doubt! LOL. Rob admits that not only was he not confident in a Bills W on last Sunday, but the fashion in which they won was the true shocker. Our Bills defense was amazing and forced Patrick Mahomes into some uncommon stats by the end of the game including hitting him 15 times! Can the defense maintain that type of execution with Hoecht now lost for the season? Cole Bishop played his best game as a Buffalo Bill and it couldn't have come at a better time.Josh Allen was locked in as he put on one of the best performances of his career in a pivotal game. Allen set the franchise record for completion % as he found open pass catchers all game long, especially Dalton Kincaid.At the midway point of the '25 season, who really scares you in the AFC? After Denver's horrible outing in a win last night over the LV Raiders, DT doesn't think there's another team in the conference better than our Bills and Rob agrees. Despite the 2 game slide, every goal The Mafia had for these Bills is still well within reach, including the #1 seed. Did Brandon Beane drop the ball this week by not making a trade for a position of need? Rob explains how he started Tuesday night upset, but then cooled off as the week progressed.Finally, it's Squish The Fish week and the fellas are looking for a dominant performance. DT asks Rob to make a pact on the show for next season as well. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageDT takes us up to date as he got back to work after the Charlotte takeover and talks about his Halloween that wasn't as quiet as he anticipated. Rob is elated to finally have a Saturday himself as his Kings are in between seasons before ramping back up next week when basketball starts. Also, does anyone else have a phone that listens to them? Because Rob is positive his does as social media knows his menu for this Sunday. LOL

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck recap their amazing weekend together in Charlotte ahead of our Bills thumping the Carolina Panthers 40-9 last Sunday. Boy, what an epic weekend it turned out to be and the fellas take you from wheels down in CLT all the way to DT's takeoff back to BUF on Tuesday.DT, our Creative Director Olivia Nagel & our buddy Brett touched down in Charlotte on Friday night and it was on like Donkey Kong from there! LOL. Rob met The Crew in uptown Charlotte at The Horseshoe as the festivities began and it was just the beginning. Friday night after the bar, Rob introduced DT & Liv to Al's Bar & Grille by his home in Cornelius, NC and DT has a hot take on the wings he had that evening that will shock WNYers. Saturday morning DT got a chance to see 'Coach Rob' at work as he guided his youngest King, Quincy and his team to a shutout flag football victory to start the day. Then it they were off to Tavern On The Tracks for a scene straight out of Bills Mafia lore. Queen City Vintage was on hand and the day was crowded and wonderful all at the same time.On gameday, Rob explains how having his middle King, Nate along with his buddy there to tailgate made for memories that the kids will not soon forget. The Bills took care of business in a big way as Bobby & Nate got a chance to see that there are actually other maniacal Bills fans just like their Dad. LOL.NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageThe fellas discuss their plans after their event-filled weekend has left them feeling them as if they need a break.

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck are amped for their reunion as DT & Nickel City Crew Creative Director Olivia Nagel travel to Charlotte tomorrow to join Rob for what should be an epic weekend in the other Queen City. Why is Joe Brady running this style of offense? Was it truly his choice to go with 'Everybody Eats' or was it mandated to him by McD? DT doesn't think McDermott is the culprit, but agrees that something is off as our Bills have struggled to score points on this 2 game losing streak. How can the Panthers win Sunday? Rob is worried because Carolina does exactly what the Bills are crappy at. Stopping the run. Will they have those issues fixed in time for kickoff?NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageRob & DT are through the roof excited for their reunion this weekend! DT & Olivia touch down in Charlotte tomorrow for what should be an epic weekend. Rob's King, Nate, has a birthday party tomorrow so the reunion will have to wait a few hours and then it's on like Donkey Kong! Rob is coaching his youngest King, Quincy's flag football game and is anticipating more space being the key to more big plays. Then The Crew will head to Tavern On The Tracks for a scene Saturday that should be like no other! Finally, they'll need to figure out Sunday's logistics as Panthers fans have gone crazy on the secondary market with the ticket prices for the game. Rob is prepared to pivot if need be before he spends a car note on tickets to get inside of Bank Of America Stadium. LOL

In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck are joined by Sheed (Sheed808) to try and make sense of our Bills' 2nd consecutive loss as they fell to the Atlanta Falcons 24-14 on Monday Night Football. What were the issues and how do they fix them?Rob contests that 'Everybody Eats' is a poison by tricking The Mafia into thinking that 17 doesn't need much help to succeed. In turn, it has caused Josh to be responsible for doing too much since the slogan took hold which culminated in his MVP season last year. Monday night looked way too hard for Allen and Rob isn't buying the moniker any longer. Is Joe Brady getting "too cute" on his offensive play calls as his HC suggests? Why did the Bills offense turn away from Jimbo on MNF when clearly the run scheme was working? Are they holding back certain calls for later in the season?What is going on with 17? His body language was atrocious Monday night and Rob asks the fellas if there is more to it? Finally, the defensive scheme was horrible against the Falcons and The Mafia is all trying to figure out why. Why didn't our Bills adjust to man-to-man coverage sooner? What was the gameplan going in as Robinson & London literally shredded our defense?NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored by: Queen City VintageDT shares his stories from the road as he is finally back in BUF but took a detour to Beaver Stadium in between. Rob shares how much of a shit show Monday night was for him as streaming issues caused chaos in the Crippen household.

In this episode, Rob & DT are joined by the co-founder of Buffalo Fanatics & host of The Rico Report, Rico (@Rico_BF_) to discuss what exactly went wrong as our Bills lost their 1st game of the season on last Sunday night during the whiteout against the New England Patriots 23-20.Do we have an 'Everybody Eats' problem? Joe Brady went away from Dalton Kincaid even though he was exposing the Pats' defense Sunday night. Why? Rob prays it wasn't in the name of spreading the ball around, but worries that it was.Turnovers and penalties were in abundance and DT thinks that's where most of the blame lies for Sunday night's performance. Rob & Rico wonder if 17 is a true "dog" when it comes to leadership as Stefon Diggs infused palpable energy into his squad while our Bills looked rather chill. Yes, they were obviously trying, but it was clear to see which team had more fight & energy and it wasn't our Bills.This may be the end of our beloved Tre White's wonderful career as he looked slow and hesitant all game long. Is it time for Brandon Beane to make a move now that the CB depth is being tested?Finally, what will Monday night look like? Rico warns Bills Mafia that Buffalo better be ready for a young & hungry Falcons squad while DT expects and great response if our Bills are who we think they are/can be.NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORTSponsored By: Queen City VintageRob quickly goes over the sports results for his Kings from last weekend before giving the floor to DT who had a blast at the Anderson wedding and gives us a epically funny story from the weekend.
