The 2025 football season is rapidly approaching, and this episode delves into significant historical moments currently unfolding in the realm of American football. We explore the exhilarating events surrounding cut-down day, wherein NFL teams reduced their rosters from 90 players to the mandated 53. Noteworthy among these developments is the reunion of star wide receiver Amari Cooper with the Las Vegas Raiders, a move that could profoundly impact the team's offensive strategy under the guidance of Coach Pete Carroll. Furthermore, we discuss the construction of a new state-of-the-art stadium for the Buffalo Bills, spearheaded by former All-Pro Thurman Thomas, who is playing a pivotal role in this endeavor. As we analyze these contemporaneous events, we reflect on their potential historical significance, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website and the Sports Jersey Dispatch to see even more Positive football news!

Thurman Thomas joins the show and your calls continue

Chris and Steve are joined by Thurman Thomas as we reach cut down day in the NFL

Jim is joined by NFL Writer for CBS Sports, Jeff Kerr, to discuss the hall of fame candidacy of former NFL running back LeSean McCoy. First, Jim and Jeff reminisce about the 2013 Snow Bowl when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Detroit Lions in a blizzard (7:20). Next, they compare McCoy's to Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk and Thurman Thomas, and discuss the significance of a running back reaching the 12,000 rushing yards milestone (17:40). Finally, they rank McCoy among the best running backs of his era (32:55), before making a final call on whether or not McCoy deserves a place in the HOF (37:01).

Dan, Frank, Rich, and returning guest Tyler go full throttle in this packed episode. It's the Larry Csonka Episode, honoring the Hall of Fame fullback from the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins—and it quickly launches into a spirited debate: Who are the top 5 NFL running backs of all time?Lists fly, names are dropped, and hot takes abound. Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, LaDainian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Eric Dickerson—everyone's got an opinion, and no one holds back. From Tecmo Bowl nostalgia to the overlooked greatness of Thurman Thomas and Marshall Faulk, the guys break down what makes a back legendary.In the second half, it's all about the U.S. Open at Oakmont, where brutal greens humble even the best pros. They talk about scores, surprise leaders, and how Tiger Woods may have changed the game (and possibly used PEDs to do it). LIV Golf, the future of the PGA, and open-wheel racing's splintered history also sneak into the mix.As always, there's laughter, a little chaos, and just enough sports trivia to keep you guessing. A true summer kickoff episode you won't want to miss.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Roles have reversed. After a generation of the New England Patriots (and Tom Brady) tormenting the Buffalo Bills, the AFC East has been running through Western New York five straight years. Not even those Jim Kelly-, Thurman Thomas-, Bruce Smith-, Andre Reed-powered Super Bowl teams earned five straight division crowns.Yet, there's renewed hope in Foxborough. Mike Vrabel knows exactly what he wants on this roster and has rapidly, dramatically created a new identity. Games against his Patriots promise to be rock fights.With free agency and the draft complete, it's a perfect time for a joint podcast with our good friend, the excellent Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston and The Next Pats Podcast.We talk Bills… and my 1 on 1 with GM Brandon Beane that'll be available to subscribers very soon.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to conversate on several Buffalo Bills topics, including counting down Patrick's list of the top 20 Buffalo Bills non first round draft picks of the modern era.Through interest and plenty of boredom, Patrick spent several hours going through every year of the Bills draft history and coming up with his power rankings of the best players that weren't taken in the first round. It's important to note that by modern era that means anytime past 1970 after the NFL and AFL merged. That disqualified a handful of 1960's draft picks that would've easily been on and likely near the top of the list, such as Butch Byrd, Mike Stratton, Tom Sestak and Billy Shaw.Patrick counts down his list with explanations for each and spoiler alert---there's three current Buffalo Bills players on the list. As you'd expect Joe has plenty to say about several of the players and especially the order Patrick has them ranked in. Fun little spoiler alert----Joe is not very keen on Patrick's placement of Phil Hansen and also thinks current Bills cornerback Taron Johnson is ranked way too low.Also, Joe has his Buffalo Bills/NFL Draft bingo board with plenty of hilarious nuggets. That plus their "True and False" segment, trying to avoid wrestling talk during Wrestlemania weekend and more.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red's at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it's a great place to drink and have a great time.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran's SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBBlue Sky: @PatrickMoranTB.bsky.socialInstagram: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast

He was also known as one of the team's most emotional leaders for the Buffalo Bills a team that won more games (103) than any AFC team in the 1990s. His ability to catch the ball as well as run with it was a key ingredient to the Bills' "No Huddle" offensive attack. In 1991, Thomas amassed more than 2,000 all-purpose yards, just the 11th player ever to do so.  Named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s, Thomas was selected first- or second-team All-Pro and All-AFC five times, and was voted to the Pro Bowl five straight years. Thomas retired as the NFL's ninth ranked rusher with 12,074 yards and added another 4,458 yards on 472 catches. He scored 65 rushing and 23 receiving touchdowns in his 13-season career.
