Josh Allen Speaks On The Stefon Diggs Drama + Damar Hamlin's Injury & Being On The Cover Of Madden

Recorded: June 21st 2023 | On this weeks episode the boys recap the summer event that we were all looking forward to, Beer Olympics. They reminisce on that day that was and all of the different things that had happened at the event. We recorded the intro 2 days after the Olympics and you can that Will and Taylor are still recovering a little bit.
Following the intro the boy, Josh Allen, joins us on the bus again. The guys immediately get into Josh being the latest Madden cover athlete and what that whole process was like. Will asks him his thoughts on the Madden curse and if he thinks it will affect him this year.
The boys then got into the Bills season last year and the ride that it was. Josh recaps the night of the Damar Hamlin incident and what that moment was like from a teammates perspective. He gets into how scary it all was and how the players were the ones who decided that they weren’t going to finish the game.
Taylor then brings up some of the old matchups that the Titans and Bills have had. He talks about the COVID game in 2020 where the Titans didn’t practice all week but still were able to beat the Bills. The guys jump all over the place from Will asking Josh if white defensive players belong in the league, to telling old stories of getting sick from alcohol. Josh is really just one of the boys and just a super laid back dude. You will definitely enjoy this conversation.

And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.

I'm a Chiefs fan obv but damn how can you not like this dude. Super humble, super cool, class act, and an absolute stud on the field. Loving this future rivalry with the Bills and Bengals w/ Joey B.

[@CallMehGoofy]

Aye man our fan bases talk a lot of shit to each other during the season but just know we absolutely love the competition and your team is full of studs dude

[@salamicheeks7420]

As a bills fan, I think our two fan bases are very similar and I’ve noticed chief fans always giving alot of praise to Allen. But believe it or not I think there is a false narrative around him with most other fan bases. They like to say he’s not a good teammate for some reason.

[@philipschifano5876]

Feel the same about ur qb. Respect ✊

[@brianmulhern1073]

Yeah man as a Bills fan I love the rivalry, if you can even call it that, between us and the Chiefs. I can’t call the bengals a rival of ours yet bc we haven’t played them enough

[@xkmmx2132]

The exposure we get these days to the actual personalities of NFL players in these long form laid back conversations is one of the best parts of being a sports fan in 2024. Especially guys like those 3. They all seem like they’d be fun to hang out with and they all have hilarious senses of humor. It makes it hard to cheer against them sometimes but at the same time it makes it more fun to watch teams other than the Bills and root for the actual person not just the team.

[@johnk5398]

I love seeing our boy, Josh, on the pod - making Will and Taylor look like Hobbits sitting next to him.

[@AboveAllBeOriginal]

my favorite thing about this podcast is something that they’ve done since day one and that is breaking down the players wall until they become comfortable enough to just talk shop. Some people call it locker room talk but at some point Josh puts down his guard and this was such an incredible podcast.
