For over three decades, Bills legend Steve Tasker has been a staple in the Western New York community.

Fans are familiar with him from all the TV work he's done. He brings an everyman aspect to the show and he's committed to this area. I think people tap into that.” For Tasker, this next chapter in his career is one that he's ready to embrace fully. “The Buffalo Bills have been a tremendous part of my life and I am very eager to begin this opportunity,” said Tasker. “This is an exciting time in franchise history and I am thrilled to get involved on a daily basis.

Send us a textThe New York Giants open the 2025 NFL season on the road against the Washington Commanders, and this one comes with plenty of intrigue. Washington retooled their roster in a big way this offseason, trading for Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel while adding veteran defenders like Von Miller, Javon Kinlaw, Jonathan Jones, and Will Harris. They also bolstered their secondary with Marshon Lattimore late last year, giving them one of the more aggressive roster makeovers in the NFL.Giants fans — what's the biggest key to victory in Week 1: containing Jayden Daniels, shutting down Terry McLaurin, or controlling the trenches? Drop your take in the comments and subscribe to join the Goofball Army for every Giants breakdown this season.Washington did lose some important pieces including Jonathan Allen, Dante Fowler Jr., Dyami Brown, Benjamin St-Juste, and Brian Robinson Jr., who ran for 132 yards against the Giants in 2024. Even with those departures, this Commanders offense remains dangerous after averaging 28.5 points per game last year. Jayden Daniels has proven to be one of the league's most electric young quarterbacks, but at just 210 pounds, he remains vulnerable to pressure.The Giants will lean on Russell Wilson to set the tone at quarterback, with rookie Jaxson Dart waiting in the wings. On defense, rookies like Abdul Carter could play major roles right away alongside stars like Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns. Position battles at CB2 with Deonte Banks vs Cor'Dale Flott and at right guard with Greg Van Roten vs Evan Neal will be worth watching. Paulson Adebo will be tasked with slowing down Terry McLaurin, while Jevon Holland gets his first major assignment against veteran tight end Zach Ertz, who bounced back last season with 654 yards and seven touchdowns.The keys to victory for New York are clear. Get after Jayden Daniels early and often, taking advantage of his smaller frame. Keep him contained and force Washington to beat them through the air. And make sure the defense creates turnovers and momentum to give the offense short fields. If the Giants execute this game plan, they could shock the division and start the season 1-0 with a statement win.Stick around for live chat, fan reactions, and the unfiltered breakdown only the Goofball Army can bring.Thank you for watching & for your support.

He knows what it's like not to be in the NFL. He lives his life like a person who is not a former professional athlete in many ways. He's easy to relate to. I think fans already know that. Fans are familiar with him from all the TV work he's done. He brings an everyman aspect to the show and he's committed to this area. I think people tap into that.” For Tasker, this next chapter in his career is one that he's ready to embrace fully. “The Buffalo Bills have been a tremendous part of my life and I am very eager to begin this opportunity,” said Tasker. “This is an exciting time in franchise history and I am thrilled to get involved on a daily basis. I look forward to working with Murph to connect with Bills fans who have been so supportive of me for a long time.” 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

La' Roi Glover joins me on this episode. La 'Roi played 13 NFL seasons from 1996-2008, combined for 320 tackles, 83.5 sacks, 8 forced fumbles, and two interceptions ... Named to six consecutive Pro Bowls (2000-05). We discuss his life and career, from growing up in the San Diego area and making his way to the league
Bun B makes it official as co-host of Unglossy, and we kick things off with a legend: Buffalo Bills icon and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Andre Reed. From a small-town kid in Allentown, Pennsylvania to four straight Super Bowl appearances and a gold jacket in Canton, Reed's story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.In this first part of our two-part conversation, Andre takes us through the real playbook behind his success—relationships, mentorship, and showing up when nobody's watching. He reflects on the wisdom of his Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy (who just turned 100), weighs in on Micah Parsons' contract standoff and the high-stakes “game within the game” of NFL negotiations, and breaks down how rule changes like the kickoff shift and the tush push have reshaped football forever.We dive into what it was like lining up against Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Darrell Green, the brutal six-week training camps of the '80s, and the difference between recovering from injuries then versus now. Beyond the field, Andre shares the roots of his purpose—his years as a Boys & Girls Club kid, the founding of the Andre Reed Foundation, and the legacy he's building with a park, a street, and a stadium all carrying his name back home.Four straight Super Bowls, seven Pro Bowls, and zero regrets—because whether or not the scoreboard went his way, the world was watching.

In this clip from the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to ponder best-case scenarios for the Steelers in 2025 and what needs to go right to attain them. Do T.J. Watt, Alex Smith, Nick Herbig and the pass rush need to be better than they were in 2024? And how much will a reloaded offensive line with Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton help in that pursuit? Can the entire quarterback room be good enough for OC Arthur Smith? From Aaron Rodgers, who's facing questions about how quickly he can find his stride, to Mason Rudolph in a backup role. And can coach Mike Tomlin get where he wants to go if Broderick Jones, and potentially also Troy Fautanu, aren't playing at close to a Pro Bowl level in protecting a largely immobile Rodgers behind center? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Jim Elliot once wrote, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”“Generous” might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think about pro athletes, but Kirk Cousins is rewriting that playbook. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback in the NFL is using his platform—and resources—for eternal impact. Today, we'll hear how his faith shapes everything from football to finances.Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons and a veteran leader in the National Football League (NFL). He previously spent six seasons with the Washington Commanders and six with the Minnesota Vikings. A four-time Pro Bowler and outspoken man of faith, he is also the cofounder of the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation, which supports families and youth through faith-based initiatives.A Legacy of Generosity: Lessons from His ParentsGrowing up as a pastor's kid, Cousins remembers how his parents modeled generosity long before he had a bank account of his own.“My mom had the gift of hospitality,” he says. “Even when I didn't think I needed money, she'd hand me two twenties before I went out with friends. There was just this open-handedness.”While his dad managed the family finances with intentionality, it was his mother's willingness to give freely that left the deepest mark. “It was caught, not just taught,” Cousins reflects, emphasizing how their example shaped his understanding of stewardship early on.From Minimum Wage to Signing Bonuses: A Crash Course in StewardshipWhen Cousins was drafted into the NFL, his first check—a six-figure signing bonus—was a wake-up call.“As a college kid who had never earned more than minimum wage, I didn't know what to do,” he recalls. “I called my dad, and he said, ‘I don't know either!'”That moment marked the beginning of a stewardship journey—one that included learning to give, save, and live below his means in a world of excess. It wasn't easy, especially when surrounded by peers embracing a more lavish lifestyle. But Cousins understood that as an athlete, his income had a shorter runway.“You're approaching a cliff,” he says. “So it's scary to give when your career has an end date. But that's where faith comes in—trusting that God will provide beyond your own earning power.”It would be easy, Cousins admits, to treat financial obedience like a checklist—give, save, repeat. But biblical stewardship isn't about rules; it's about surrender.“I've done that—just checked the boxes. But that's not the abundant life Jesus promises. It's not religion, it's relationship.”He points to Jesus' parable of the treasure in the field (Matt. 13:44): “Once you see Jesus as the treasure, everything else becomes a logical response. Of course you'd sell everything to have Him. Stewardship flows from seeing Him clearly.”When Faith Feels Risky: Giving on a Diminishing TimelineThe tension for Cousins lies in balancing the enjoyment of God's provision with wisdom about the future.“I actually enjoy those moments that require more faith. When I give, and I don't know what's next, it puts the pressure back on God—where it belongs.”But he's quick to acknowledge the gray areas. “What's wise versus what's excessive? There's no formula. You have to walk with God and ask for His guidance daily.”One of the most valuable pieces of advice Kirk received early in his career came from a generous mentor: “Always give in unity with your wife.”That advice stuck.“When Julie isn't comfortable, I pause and pray. Her perspective might be the Holy Spirit speaking. Giving together strengthens our marriage and our stewardship.”Cousins sees their giving not only as a financial decision, but as a spiritual discipline of unity and trust.Planning for the Future: Wisdom Before WealthAs parents to young boys, Kirk and Julie have also had to consider how best to plan their estate. They've established a family office to prepare for the future—but with a strong desire to pass on wisdom before wealth.“We want to get to the end of our lives and say: the wisest hands to put this in are our kids'. But we also want to be realistic. If it wouldn't be wise to pass along wealth, we want our plan to reflect that.”Much of their estate will also go to their foundation, which they hope will be spent down soon after their passing. “We don't want it to live on in perpetuity with intentions we never had. We want to make an impact now.”So, where is Kirk Cousins most excited to give right now? The answer goes back to his roots.“I went to a Christian high school—Holland Christian—and it profoundly impacted my life. I want to make it more affordable for other families, support teachers, and strengthen Christian education.”It's a full-circle moment: a public school kid transformed by Christian community, now investing in the same kind of life-shaping environments for others.Final Whistle: A Life Well StewardedKirk Cousins is more than an NFL quarterback. He's a husband, father, and faithful steward who is using his influence to glorify God—not just in the end zone, but in the quiet decisions of budgeting, giving, and planning for the future.His story reminds us: Stewardship is not about how much we have—it's about how faithfully we respond to the One who gave it all.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own my home outright and keep hearing about home title protection services. How real is the risk of title fraud, and should I be concerned?I have rental properties in Arkansas, but my kids in California don't want them. I'm worried that when I pass, they'll sell them quickly for way less than they're worth. Should I go ahead and sell them now and put the money in a trust for my grandkids' education—or is there a better option?”Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Julie & Kirk Cousins FoundationWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

I'm still the one they were looking up to, I'm still the one they will be taking parts of their game from trying to copy mine, I'm still that.” Jalen Ramsey responds to the doubters As our Training Camp tour continues, we visiting Jalen in his new NFL home, and sit down with the three-time All‑Pro cornerback as he embarks on a bold new journey with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After cementing his legacy with a Super Bowl win and with Pro Bowl honors in Jacksonville, Los Angeles, and Miami-Jalen brings his unmatched skill set and swagger to one of the NFL's most storied franchises. We explore the motivations behind the blockbuster June 30, 2025 trade, what it means to don the iconic black and gold, and how Pittsburgh's aggressive 2025 Super Bowl push aligns with his championship aspirations Jalen reflects on his football evolution—how his position versatility (cornerback, potential safety) and league-wide respect make him more than just "another star" on the roster, but a cornerstone of a retooled defense aiming to recapture past glory. As he joins a defense stacked with names like T.J. Watt, Darius Slay Jr., Joey Porter Jr, and a team led by veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, Jalen makes one thing clear: he's still that guy. And now, he's exactly where he's supposed to be. We break down how he'll complement fellow veterans and what his arrival signals about Pittsburgh's shift toward a win-now mentality during Aaron Rodgers' anticipated final NFL season. This isn't just about football—it's about fit. Jalen talks about how his mentality now mirrors the city itself: blue-collar, unapologetic, and built on pride, toughness, and resilience. He shares how the Steel City has reignited his fire—how he's leaned into being a mentor and a menace, all while preparing to help this storied franchise chase another Lombardi. Join us for a raw, unfiltered look at an athlete who's still got it—not just on the field, but in his leadership, swagger, and hunger to win.
