In so many ancient cultures, indigenous
0:02
cultures, the buffalo was a sacred
0:05
animal and still is a sacred animal. And
0:07
so for the Bills, it is very special to
0:11
be tethered to the buffalo. And so
0:14
throughout this season, which could be a
0:16
magical season, let's look for a little
0:17
bit of magic. And as I'm listening to
0:20
the Bears front office talk about their
0:23
new stadium and how they they want to do
0:26
this and that, it's going to feel like
0:28
Chicago and you're going to know that
0:30
you're in Chicago and then it's tagged
0:32
with and there's going to be a roof.
0:39
How depressing that the Chicago Bears,
0:42
the Monsters of the Midway,
0:45
the the uh organization of Dick Buttgus
0:52
you know, rough, violent, angry, and
1:00
How depressing is it that this team,
1:03
this organization wants a roof on top?
1:07
We want to play under a roof. Well, that
1:10
doesn't feel very Chicago to me. I don't
1:11
know. I've been to Chicago many times. I
1:13
never felt like, oh, you know what
1:14
speaks to me with Chicago is playing
1:16
football indoors. I don't know. You know
1:19
what always spoke to me going to Chicago
1:21
was how bluecollar and real and grounded
1:26
and authentic and old school and
1:28
traditional the city was, which is why I
1:30
love it. Which is why I love Chicago. I
1:32
love Chicago because of Wrigley Field.
1:35
because of all the history of Wrigley
1:37
Field. What I never thought was what
1:40
feels like Chicago is 68 and climate
1:43
controlled on artificial turf as I play
1:45
football. So, I'm saying this because
1:48
the fact that the Bills chose open air,
1:51
yes, the fact that they chose grass,
1:56
yes, the fact that they chose the
1:59
essence, the spirit of football, when
2:02
all these other cold weather teams,
2:08
DC, they all want to be indoors now.
2:11
They all suddenly want to play indoors
2:13
because we want yearround events.
2:17
Fooey. I think it stinks. I think it's
2:20
depressing. And those are the types of
2:22
things that drive me away from football.
2:24
You know how football's going to lose
2:25
me? A guy that's been with football for
2:27
45 years by playing all these
2:30
international games and playing all
2:32
their games indoors. That's an easy way
2:34
to lose me. So, God bless the Buffalo
2:37
Bills for playing outdoors and on grass
2:39
in a new stadium. and it'll be better
2:41
than all those stadiums. And who cares
2:43
about a Final Four? And who cares about
2:45
outdoor or indoor events year round?
2:48
Don't need it. You play the way it was
2:51
supposed to be played. And you look at
2:53
all these teams that are winning Super
2:54
Bowls these days. Are they dome teams?
2:57
Last time I checked, Kansas City
2:58
outdoors. Philadelphia outdoors. Where's
3:02
all the dome teams winning Super Bowls?
