Number one free agent is now off the board sources say the Miami dolphins are
signing Malik Willis formally of the Green Bay Packers now headed to Miami he
gets a three-year 67.5 million dollar deal okay he had a rap report on the big
swing the dolphins are taking Malik Willis twice a year I don't know that the
Bills have ever faced him he hasn't really played they didn't play a green
bay last year right there was not much question he was going to get a big deal
in free agency and this isn't like yeah he's not a level of a franchise quarterback
on the free agent market he's someone who threw 20 passes or so this year but
every look good runs around well so him getting paid by someone this off
season to the level who's getting paid at is not a surprise and Miami was
connected to him all along but man I thought his free agency day was coming
today being the whatever legal tampering day Wednesdays the day it officially
starts getting announced I thought Miami was being like yeah the timing's not
right for us it just read like they're starting over why pay any quarterback
you know a top of the market contract in free agency when you're stripping it
down to the studs I mean good for him he's getting you know he's getting
handsomely paid here when maybe a year or two ago it seemed like he was never
gonna really amount to much other than a journeyman replacement you know second
string guy he wasn't even really on the bust level because he wasn't drafted
early right right I think the timing's weird for Miami I can see promise with the
player and him warranting somebody taking a shot on paying him pretty big
money for what he's accomplished so far I just not sure I get it for Miami it
really is on spec I mean yeah it's let last year in in four games with the
Packers including one start he was 30 for 35 which is really good I don't know
the average depth of target here but 422 yards three touchdowns year before
that in real don't two starts that's when Jordan love got hurt they beat the
cults a member one of those games three touchdowns as well no picks the
dolphins new head coach was in green Bay as a defensive coach but still we
knew Willis from his time with the Packers yeah I think I agree but I'm not
jealous of the Jets either or whatever the word is like the Jets did what
you're saying or are doing what you're saying they're they're spending money
actually yeah I mean they've traded for me to fit factory today I don't know what
else they've done they've signed they've made a few signings there was a
report over the weekend that Frank Reich who is their new offensive coordinator I
hope this was a real account yeah is that a real thing or did I get
guess wow if that's like Frank Reich's idea for their offense for 2026 that's
amazing yes yes it would be lots of moves around the league Mike Evans to San
Francisco the bills lose Mitch Trebuski to Tennessee they lose Reggie
Gilliam to New England and David Edwards to New Orleans yep that's where
rat let's go to your calls here's Joe with us hi Joe hey how you guys doing good
Joe thanks good nice day today in Buffalo huh sure it's yeah yeah I just wanted
to get your guys thoughts on how the savers have taken their game to really
another level after the Olympics and I think it's partly due to the
Olympics I saw Dalyne get true best on best competition in the Sweden USA game
especially with the physicality from Pitchuck and Tage saw it too in the Canada
game and the game just sounds different in the arena it sounds like winning
hockey I can hear the boards again I can hear them communicating and yeah it's a
lot of fun to watch and Sam Kerrick loved his game last night what in
addition he's gonna be for us in many different fastest face-offs
physicality so I'll hang up and listen to your thoughts thanks guys okay you
know what I really like about the whole weekend I mean last night obviously was
you know off the charts like a contender a reasonable contender a
recency bias all taken into account for like best regular season hockey game ever
in the arena it's it's it's not unreasonable to suggest that that was it the
game Saturday night was the direct opposite and the savers found a way to win
both games like sat you got to be able to win a game like Saturday too which
was low events nothing really happening just sort of that game gets to one
one and I'm like overtime yeah like just just just don't do anything you don't
take any chances don't give up any odd man rushes and just sort of just play
it you know play it out and they managed to win one of the most low event
games of the whole year for them it's like jersey to let yeah right on Saturday
night they pull that off and then Sunday night we got this three-ring circus
of electricity which was just amazing it's it's vital to know how to win both
of those kinds of games and I really like that on in one weekend we got a dose
of well the crowd the caller mentions the crowd to and just like the team in the
fans feeding off each other I love that stuff I there's a this is a word I
don't use very often there's a din mm-hmm when the team is good like there's a
it I bet if the players take a second to sort of notice it you can hear people
talking and like there's a buzzing in the building my one of my issues over
the last 10 years go into games the season ticket holder was too often I'd be
sitting there and all the people around me aren't even watching the game the
tickets were probably free I won't say real fans because that doesn't mean I
wasn't that interested either but I I was priced in you know yeah so I won't
say those fans aren't real fans really don't like the term at all but they're
not interested in the hockey game and they're talking about their their wives
and they're talking about work and different things the people in the building
last night were there for the game right and if somebody's talking to someone's
around the places pack someone's around you talking about something else for
very long you know you might get told to pay by maybe enough by a few different
people I don't want to hear about your day pet boa constrictor anymore I get it
you're cool yeah the sound is definitely noticeable Jeremy's been big on this
for a while and it's been gone and I think but I think I got the spirit of it
like the the when the attention level is as it was last night and as it has been
for these games recently the crowd is so dialed in that when a goal happens
you you can hear this happened on the sucker goal I watched the replay the
roar of the crowd beats the horn like the crowd is so into it that there's a
there's like a roar it immediately gets overwhelmed by the horn but you hear
it and for a very long time when you're the senior describing it any game
over the last 10 or 12 or 14 years if you want it where you're sitting there
like you're you're watching it but you're not like really intense you're just you
know somebody is talking about their boa constrictor or whatever goal goes in
you're the horn like okay I guess I'll get up and okay all right the horn went
we scored yeah great this is different this is like breakaway people are
already getting out of their seats on the breakaway the puck goes in and
there you you're so dialed in that the reaction of the crowd beats the horn
and that happens when it's really just right in there last night it was it's
funny you mentioned that because I noticed something like that on the winning
goal because on TV I'm reacting to the post as it's the goal right and the fans
do too right the fan there's a second or so between the crowd and the red
light right and the horn and good for the sabers to not you know fall for the
post yeah that good thing don't in Zuckerbole Zucker might have got it if
don't didn't but don't just in a better position to shovel it into the
open net but you're right the the crowd I think thought the puck had gone in
on darling shot yeah I mean mostly loud enough to yeah yeah right I mean yeah
right here's April next hi April hi thanks for taking my call I was at the
game last night with my 11 year son and that is memories for a lifetime I mean
he was on his chair shirt off unbelievable games and I have to commend the
sabers for getting out the community and making the games a little more
accessible I'm a single mom and we got to go because my son got a free ticket
for playing in a mural hockey at school last year Alex Tuxtman sort of box for
community services and my son was treated like a prince and they have a fan
for life they're doing a good job of reaching out getting kids there and just
really appreciate it because that was a heck of a heck of a night did he leave
the shirt off like did he watch the game with his shirt off or what no that's just
where you know special moments in the game you didn't like that whole time I'd
be exhausted if I had to take my shirt off eight times during a game and put it
back up you were exhausted I mean midway through the first period we were
exhausted and we know we were getting in for the long haul with this game but
we're so worth it thank you April who even thanks for sharing all that yeah who
even imagined the game would get there at the end though I mean yeah if when
Tampa has the lead okay I mean great night still a great night right get
just right like I said yeah I start working on the narrative when I'm gonna
say tomorrow well hopefully they learn something out of control their emotions
and still play the game because like Tampa's more experience is one of the
reasons they wanted to see if they could get the sabres out to the woodshed for
a little while and mess with them and see how they handled it and not only did
they get through it but they ended up scoring the final three goals of the
game and winning as it went yeah the shirtless kids there Saturday night there
was like a sweet full of shirtless like adolescent kid boys like we're at this
level now the sweet level shirtless kids are you sure you're watching the
kinesis high school playoffs on the western Newark athletics you see that
sometimes there's high school games all right good to hear Matt is next time
Matt hey guys you know I'm having such a great time watching the sabres right
now and you know I'm in my 30s so most of my Buffalo Sports fandom has been
one drought or another and so I'm thinking about you know kind of being in a
unique position to to compare them to who in my experiences of them and you know
I think maybe one of the morning hosts guys said this at one point think it
about this that the bills make breaking the drought was like a buzzer beater but
you know the quintessentially doesn't even happen during their own game it's
miraculous and that's dramatic but there I don't even really remember much
about that season there wasn't some magical run-up to that it was just kind of a
lightning strike thing that happened where this I mean this feels kind of like
a month long you know 51 to 3 where you're just kind of partying and the
stands I'm in no hurry for the playoffs to get here because you know you get
there at the coin flip but right now you're getting all these moments all this
fun stuff happening and I'm just really enjoying it not to reduce it to like
which drought breaking is better because whatever yeah that's maybe we could
but I don't know that's that's really just what I thought myself thinking about
you're so right and what these wins I mean if one seven in a row since the
break ended they're seven and oh have they even had to go to overtime once no
what this is all doing before the break ended their odds were pretty good and
we were talking about it like it was going to happen now they've taken mostly
the pressure off the rest of the regular season I don't know that I care if
they finish first or second or even third I mean seconds better than third
because you're at home that'll be awesome game one would be will be amazing
but who am I playing if I finish first who am I playing if I finish second I don't
know there's a difference at least with a month to go so what like Lindy was
really on point it's so many different it's so many different times after the
game last night like we're competing for a playoff spot so is Tampa Bay that's
what this is right he didn't mention the division lead or anything like that
we're playing to get in and I think that's wise for not only because of the
drought stuff I mean our past and some of theirs but just like the practically
the practical analysis of the conference and you know the the one seed will be
what percent to win against the eight sixty maybe something like that they're
taking the pressure off of the rest of the regular season for for fans if not
for themselves I mean I don't think that's how players think but for fans who are
wound up and we're all just so this season went from whatever to hmm to oh wow
this might actually happen right and now it's at ninety nine percent right or
something a week ago even coming out coming out of the break I was at just
finished second or third I Tampa is probably too good I want to avoid them what
am I playing for and playing to avoid playing them in the first round Tampa anybody
else in the conference they in Carolina really right to stay out of the wild card
mix I don't the deal with one of the two best teams in the conference now the
Sabers are one of the three best team there's three best teams in the conference
now the Sabers are one of them so I the goal maybe is still the same if I
finish in first I'm avoiding Tampa you know unless they drop so far down which
I don't see happening you know get passed by both Detroit and Montreal and end
up in a wild card spot then that could be the reverse of what I was open to
avoid I am going to drive you crazy with how teams should get to pick their
opponents I just that I'm now just look I'm no longer looking at the team where's
the first team that's out how far ahead of them am I now it's how much
cushion do I have on second and third like how far ahead of Detroit and
Montreal am I what is or Tampa what's Tampa now I am five points ahead of Detroit
and only two on Tampa but five six ahead of Montreal so five and six are my
sweet spots okay as far as those are like that's the first wild card and third in
the division is what I'm talking about so dropping out the first team chasing
that's not in is Columbus and they are eleven eleven back yep auto which
thirteen yeah pretty good Paul Hamilton's perspective coming up at four Sal
Capaccio at five lots of football signings being announced today if not made
official that can't happen for a couple days but whatever we will try to cover
this all is best we can like show up in the bulldog here lines open for your
