Nobody has covered the Buffalo Bills longer than my friend, Chuck Pollock. What a fun walk through history this podcast was with the longtime Olean Times Herald sports editor who's now writing for the Olean Star and Wellsville Sun here in Western New York. Chuck takes listeners right through his time covering the Bills from 1973 to today. You'll hear everything from O.J. Simpson stories to Johnson vs. Flutie memories, and we discuss the team today.For background, I owe so much to Chuck. Still remember giving him my “2000 NFL Draft Preview” guide as a 13-year-old on a solo trip to the Times Herald for a school project. He promised he'd offer an internship opportunity when I turned 16 and, sure enough, called three years later. Since then, he's been a mentor, a friend and countless other TH interns will tell you the same: Chuck Pollock isn't only an exceptional boss and writer. He is an A+ human being.Even if you're not a Bills fan, you'll enjoy Chuck's stories about covering the NFL back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.It was a different time. You never quite knew when a fight may break out on the team plane.

 Marcus Thompson is a long-time Golden State Warriors beat reporter and Bay Area News Group sports columnist and currently writes for The Athletic. Growing up, he was fascinated by two things: words and Bay Area sports teams. In our conversation, he highlights teachers and other adults in his life that encouraged him to lean into writing, including sportswriter Michael Silver. From 1971 to 2019, the Warriors called Oracle Arena in Oakland home until moving to the swanky new Chase Center in San Francisco. Marcus notes that the brand of the Warriors was built on the accessible and communal nature of basketball and details the grassroots momentum of the team. He shares why he thinks the marketing and communication missteps have left fans feeling slighted, abandoned, and priced out of their beloved team. We talk about how this uprooting parallels a lot of what's happening in our community. I've been vocal about the shift in demographics, gentrification, and rising cost of living in the Bay Area, and as an Oakland native, Marcus has experienced it, too. Finally, we discuss why it's so valuable for young athletes to learn the art of storytelling. He explains what's required of them these days, including an element of branding and taking ownership over your narrative. Listen in to hear our conversation about how local sports teams often reflect the cultural dynamics of their community, and so much more.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      How Marcus became a sportswriter ●      Ways that the Oakland sports teams mimic the story arc of Oakland, especially the Warriors ●      Marcus' take on the decision to move the Warriors from Oakland to San Francisco ●      Solutions to bridge economic and cultural gaps in the Bay Area ●      Why it's so important for athletes to know how to articulate and express their story  Guest Info:●       Marcus' Instagram ●      Marcus' Twitter ●      Marcus Thompson - The Athletic Follow Me:●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      My Twitter●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●

It's time for Week 5 as Buckeye Talk continues to devote an episode to each game of Ohio State's 2022 football schedule. On Oct. 1, the Buckeyes will host Rutgers for homecoming with a 3:30 kickoff, and on this Buckeye Talk, Steve Politi of nj.com is here to talk about that. But there's only some Rutgers talk, including about quarterback Gavin Wimsatt, who is Rutgers' version of Quinn Ewers. He reclassified and enrolled in college early last year, but as the No. 202 overall recruit in that class, he stuck around. And he has a chance to be Rutgers' quarterback for a long time, and maybe the best quarterback Rutgers has seen in quite a while. But Doug and Steve also talked about the process of sportswriting for a big chunk of the pod, talking about Rutgers coverage, writing about New York sports, and some of Steve's favorite stories he's ever done, from Mexico to The Masters to the Olympics. And then Doug wraps up with why he thinks this once again won't be much of a game. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com. Learn more about your ad choices.
