Leonard Raskin, Nestor Aparicio
Nestor Aparicio 00:02
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T, A, M, 1570 we are Baltimore positive. And I tell you what, nothing more positive than playing football into the end of January. Not even the middle of January get toward the end, although the the Mile High miracle showed up on my my timeline, I have purchased a Derek Henry jersey that I christened with a little consummate over here from Nacho mamas in the Berea ramen before we lost Nacho mamas at midnight on Sunday. But I tell you what, we’re off to Buffalo this week. Luke’s gonna be running around Owings Mills. We have flights to Kansas City book he and I are going to go to Kansas City Beat the pills this weekend. They are an underdog, at least as the week began, but it is a long week. I got a guy here that is the only guy I know, other than me, that does not gamble on sports. I mean, I was in a bar over the weekend, everybody’s gambling on sports, and I talked to John Marsh about that, slow your role make it easy. I hope you’re winning and not losing. I hope it’s fun and not silly. Letter asking is here, he doesn’t gamble with money. He follows the American dream and helps you support that at Raskin global, where they empower folks to to find their financial future and not through a gambling docket. But I tell you what the the Pittsburgh Steelers were on borrowed time till they got here the other day. And now we’ve got a game here. And I don’t know if you had $1 to bet it on purple or on red, white and blue and buffalo, but it’s the game of the year, right? I mean, it’s the game everybody’s gonna be talking about Sunday night last game. Who knows? Maybe Houston wins early on Saturday. We’re thinking about a home game. But either way, this is, this is why we love sports, right? This is why where we are right now, right? It’s
Leonard Raskin 01:43
what everybody’s watching. It’s why everybody’s watching. I was at the Ravens game in the in the chill of the Baltimore Evening. Did you catch a COVID thing? You sound like you’re sick? I think it came. I got a little sniffle thing going. It came a little before the game. So I didn’t tailgate, because I didn’t want to stand out the freezing for more than was necessary. And then went to the game, screamed all night and came home with little throaty going on top of
Nestor Aparicio 02:09
the suit. This is, this is, man, what did you say? This is, I was,
Leonard Raskin 02:14
I was just just soothing yesterday. That’s all I was doing. Was soothing the you know, what’s amazing is it’s a great weekend because I was texting with the boy, had to arrange his sleep properly. So that’s
Nestor Aparicio 02:30
in Ireland, Scotland. So they’re five hours, five hours ahead. So, so man, at eight o’clock kickoff is really we gotta
Leonard Raskin 02:37
talk a Buckeye kickoff against Texas.
Nestor Aparicio 02:40
Oh, right, that’s right. So, Bucha, right.
Leonard Raskin 02:43
So, so he was up and we were face timing and texting nights. He
Nestor Aparicio 02:47
had to change those nights right at eight o’clock. The other game was at eight o’clock too. Exactly, exactly. So if you love Ohio State, you want to watch Penn State lose too, absolutely.
Leonard Raskin 02:55
We didn’t care about that one much. It really didn’t matter. All we cared about was the Bucha is one. So we’re texting, FaceTiming, watching the game together, as dads and sons tend to do with the wife. We’re watching Ohio State. He he tells me, I can hear him. He’s screaming so loud after the sack fumble, pickup score Jack Sawyer in the Buckeye game that he thought neighbors were going to call the police. Well, it was three in the morning. It was right. It was four in the morning. It was four in the morning, exactly right. So we had a great Buckeye game. Then obviously a great ravens came and outside screaming at the at the Ravens. I was stunned at the 21 nothing, as I imagined the squealers were as well. I thought it’d be a good game. I thought we’d win. I thought the spread was a little heavy. I think it was nine again, not a gambler, but I know what’s going on. Nine and a half, nine and a half, I thought that was a little steep. I thought maybe five home, plus a couple 21
Nestor Aparicio 03:59
we beat him by 17 at Christmas, right? Yeah, and that this game here, beat him by 14. Way more lopsided this game Absolutely. This is a totally different game. Yeah, that
Leonard Raskin 04:09
was a good game, until our Darius Washington cracked Wilson. Wilson in the fumble. I mean, it was a great game. The Marlin pick too. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this game was unbelievable. I was shocked at some of their play calls. It looked like their will was broken early and they just didn’t feel like the fight. And then, oddly enough, I don’t know, Tomlin after the two minute warning, calling timeouts was just silly. What was he thinking? Oh, we might have a chance to get it back again on sides kick and make this happen. I don’t know what he was doing, but it was quite the celebration. It was a lovely evening. If
Nestor Aparicio 04:47
he would say, you play to the end of the game, you know he would do that. He should have played better in the beginning of the game. Listen the beating up of Mike Tomlin. That’s going to commence. It’s. Crazy. They don’t, they don’t have a quarterback, right, right? I mean, a lot of things right now back, that’s
Leonard Raskin 05:06
right. And, I mean, that opens up things. You’re not going to build a team around Russell Wilson now, that’s ridiculous. Now
Nestor Aparicio 05:13
they have to go in a different you know, Luke and I went down this Justin fields. Is a decent
Leonard Raskin 05:16
quarterback. I think they can do a good job. He’s a good quarterback. Let’s say He’s great. He’s going
Nestor Aparicio 05:23
to win playoff games. He’s going to beat Joe burrow and beat Lamar Jackson and Patrick Holmes and Josh. Give
Leonard Raskin 05:28
it a chance to play. I think he’s he can show it. Look Herbert.
Nestor Aparicio 05:31
You know, we think he’s a guy who can do it. I don’t even know it looks like I’m wearing, I don’t think I’m wearing chargers blue. I’m actually wearing oiler blue. We thought they were stupid. Derek Henry,
Leonard Raskin 05:41
by the way, commented, It’s exquisite. This is
Nestor Aparicio 05:45
exquisite, isn’t it? I mean, absolutely, look at that. This is perfect, right? This is what I should be wearing right now, right? There you go.
Leonard Raskin 05:52
He, he robbed him. He robbed him. He, I don’t think Patrick Queen even wanted to touch him when he ran through the middle. I don’t know what that was about. Nobody even tried to stop him. Ridiculous. Well,
Nestor Aparicio 06:01
as we get to this point, I need to bring something up with you. We’ll get back to the Ravens game in a minute, because you’re at the game. I want to hear all about it. Yeah, yeah. I woke up on Monday morning, early, and Luke and I do all of our morning radio, and I looked on my timeline, and this is so algorithm, and it’s right the minute I woke up, first thing I do is get my Zeke’s coffee ready, and I’m, you know, get myself organized. And I look on my timeline, H, T, T R, Hale, H, G, T, R, burger, gold, gold.
Leonard Raskin 06:31
Yeah,
Nestor Aparicio 06:33
all over my timeline. And I’m thinking to myself, I didn’t know. I knew so many of them, right? Yeah, yeah. I’m assuming you and I are of kindred spirit, age colts, leaving all of that. Hey, yeah, the H stands for hate, right? Not hail, but, but the weird thing is, they’re in different uniforms Now, Dan Snyder is gone. This kid is likable. I mean, McLaren just seems like such a good dude. I mean, I listened to the Redskins broadcast in the car. Yep, on the they say, I said red
Leonard Raskin 07:06
you did? I get it. It’s hard. It’s hard, man, it’s been forever. It’s hard. And commanders is a weird name. It’s a weird name. Yeah,
Nestor Aparicio 07:15
just all of it, the whole Dan Snyder thing doesn’t flow. Doesn’t flow. So for me, I don’t have the same instinctive disdain for them, right? Same thing with the Colts when Flacco is running around, same thing even for the Steelers, they’re just another team. We’ve won two championships here on 56 I don’t think like that anymore, human right, even in regard to Chad Steele or Greg Bader. I just told Donald Trump, I don’t think in that way. I just
Leonard Raskin 07:45
like it ruins your life. Ruins your life. Move
Nestor Aparicio 07:49
around that I’m not a consumed, even though I have consummate from not your mom’s. I’m not consumed. I was like saying consummates. Great word makes me feel like I want to go to Paris or Quebec. I feel like with the Washington football scenario, I’ll say this, I know Dan Quinn. I spent time with Dan Quinn in and around and the Salisbury state, part of him when he was with the Falcons. And yep, he’s just such a good, good man. I mean, you can’t spend 10 minutes with Dan Quinn, and not like Dan Quinn, yeah. And, you know, you just can’t. And I’ll say the same thing for the kid that coaches the Vikings, Kevin O’Connell, I spent a hour and a half with him at the owners mini couple years ago. Just how often do you hear me say, Oh, I’m so impressed by it’s like Tony Romo who’s impressed by everybody. If you mean like when I kiss somebody’s ass, count on it. It’s a Charlie Eckman go to sleep like I’m telling you. Dan Quinn is definitely likable, yeah, and, and the fact that they’re playing 30 minutes away, and they play in the state of Maryland, right? Maryland’s team, whether they are good or not, they are indeed, they’re the NFC. They don’t mean anything that, you know, we have
Leonard Raskin 08:59
two teams. When they didn’t want us to have a team. I always, I always laughed when they said they didn’t want us to have a team. And And then ultimately, we’re the more successful. They move, yeah, but they move the team to Landover. And people think it’s Washington. I’m saying it’s in Maryland, dude, it’s where the caps used to play
Nestor Aparicio 09:18
to in any way become a commanders fan, right? My second team, or when ravens eventually go into the toilet, because people like Chad Steele, when the Ravens put some four and thirteens up, which they haven’t in 30 years. But look at New England. It’s, you know, I mean Pittsburgh and things happen, one of the reasons you one of the reasons you don’t fire John Harbaugh, even if he raises it home to Pittsburgh on Saturday night, is that you just, you don’t
Leonard Raskin 09:49
residency is, is what you need? Well, I mean,
Nestor Aparicio 09:52
Leonard, you manage money. Yep. How much money would would be a miracle as a client. Client that you would promise somebody, I’m gonna, over 10 years, get you 12% for it like, if you probably possible, impossible, there you stay impossible. Okay, so it doesn’t exist. It’s not real. Such thing as 10 years and 14% there’s no such thing, not reality. Okay, so whatever you would promise them and say, if the market’s doing eight, and I get you six, and we’re always to the good and we’re all, that’s the Steelers, right now, they’re ever going to get you 20? Yeah, they’re going to get you fours and sixes, and we’re going to stack that up. We’re winning. But in your world, that wins the Super Bowl, that’s how you wind up with 1,000,007 in your retirement
Leonard Raskin 10:37
account, right? All you got to do is shoot par. You know, you don’t have to be the best of the best, the best of the best. And you know the data better than me. Let’s talk golf for a second. Or we can look it up and find it whatever, between the number one golfer in the world and the number 25 golfer in the world, 10th of a stroke around or something ridiculous, you know, or the 100th, between number one and number 100 is a very small margin to par. And when you look at the NFL, they want parity. Let’s face it, why is Washington in the playoffs? Because they weren’t good, and so they get to play teams that also weren’t good, and then you get to win. You can’t always get a top draft pick. And then when that happens, you know the thing, in Pittsburgh, they’re good enough not to get a great draft pick and not good enough to win, so they’re trying to trade their way in and pick up the right people.
Nestor Aparicio 11:40
And hey, they didn’t stick when they drafted Roethlisberger. He wasn’t a top five pick, right?
Leonard Raskin 11:44
But let’s face it, neither was Tom Brady. I don’t think was that Jackson, whoever? Yeah. Lamar Jackson, the last pick of the first round of the draft, last pick of the first round. How about Brock Purdy, last pick of the last round. I think he’s going to get paid this week, this week, this year.
Nestor Aparicio 12:07
Uh, Roethlisberger was the 11th pick in the draft. And, okay, 11th, but
Leonard Raskin 12:12
Purdy was the last of the last Yeah, and, and
Nestor Aparicio 12:16
I don’t know they didn’t win the Super Bowl with him. And I don’t know that they’re going to get close with the Garoppolo. I mean, there, there have been some guys in the Super Bowl that you would say, portals made it to a championship. I mean, you know, things happen, that’s right, but, but inevitably, you want to take your chances with your the best stocks and but, but it is in football. It is amazing that, you know, winning is not at Buffalo. They have not won a Super Bowl Detroit. Look at what they’re going through from fan bases this week. Yeah, we’ve won two here, and we haven’t won lately, and Lamar hasn’t won at all, and the only guys around here that have won are the cost of Tucker and hardball. Right? All the rest of these people trying for the first time in this organization to do this, and it’s hard to do. It’s hard and everybody wants to fire everybody and everything and everybody. There’s a lot of sustained success in Pittsburgh and Buffalo and Baltimore that has not included championships in this era. Well,
Leonard Raskin 13:14
I read, I don’t know, a few weeks ago that you have to have a winner if you end up with buffalo in Minnesota, somebody’s gotta win well,
Nestor Aparicio 13:26
and the same thing would be Detroit if they were to go. But you
Leonard Raskin 13:28
know what I’m saying? How many times is Minnesota? What are they? Five over five? Yeah, and buffalo. Oh, look at Buffalo. How can you call them a failure over the years, four straight Super Bowls and
Nestor Aparicio 13:40
what they’ve built there. Oh my god, community, and I see that stadium coming up, and all that stadium there, I can’t believe that they’re sacrificing all the tailgating and not a dome and not a dome. Well, I don’t think they want that. I get it. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. How’d you like to be one of the taxpayers in Long Island or Montauk paying for it in New York.
Leonard Raskin 14:01
Yeah? Nice. Well, they don’t consider that New York. They consider that southern Canada can’t
Nestor Aparicio 14:07
even show face in Buffalo after trying to take the team to Toronto, right? That’s right. That’s right. Forget it. Basket is here. He’s trying to put together money to buy franchises here, including the the defunct oiler franchise of mine. Yeah, man, I’ll sing that song all day long. You know, somebody wrote on my timeline, like you do know they wore the jerseys this weekend. And I’m like, it’s awful that the Tennessee Titans, right? But it doesn’t stop me from wanting to wear it and look good in it and and sport, especially when I bought this for $45 I told you, 75 cents on the internet, brand new with tags on it. My wife, Eric, Henry, my wife, came home Sunday night because she’s been with her family the last 10 days in Florida, freezing as well. And she’s like, that jersey fits you well. She said, There you go. At least it fits right. It doesn’t hang off of you. And I’m thought, well, there’s my fashion statement. She’s Kyle. Use checks. Wife making so. For you with the Ravens this week, and for what your your PSL holder, your club seat owner, you lost your voice is awful letter because you’ve been out there yelling, screaming, expectation of them to win. Go to Kansas City, win tough. Drag you down in New Orleans. You drag 30 grand out of your pocket to go into it. I think, I think this
Leonard Raskin 15:19
week is the tougher game. Personally, I think they will have a tougher game with buffalo than if they win with Kansas City. Just the way we play, the way they play. Gotta really step up and you’re playing five to 10. Yeah. I mean, like, here and killed them like they weren’t even on the field. Can we do it again? Look, we’ve won five straight, all by what, 15 or more, all by double digits. Big wins, not against terrible teams. Made Pittsburgh look terrible. So I watched the game, went to the game. Saturday night, got home, I was all jacked. I was just juiced up Friday night, Ohio State win Saturday night, ravens win Saturday night, Washington Capitals win the only Washington team. I root for Ovechkin with another goal, 22 short of Gretzky’s all time record. So I get home, gotta let the dog out, grab a spot on the couch, have a little late, late, late snack, flip on the TV and watch the game.
Nestor Aparicio 16:32
Well, it’s all day. I mean, I’m tired of looking at screens and yeah, but I had to watch the game. Listen. I got a commentary days off here, you know, listen
Leonard Raskin 16:40
to the commentary, and they couldn’t believe, like Pittsburgh had no will. They were talking about it the whole game. I was stunned myself, watching it live, but watching Derek Henry. Let me ask you something here. Well, Isaiah likely had one too, yeah. But I thought, when you’re alignment and you’re blocking right you can’t go to the head. It’s illegal. Hands to the face. But for running
Nestor Aparicio 17:07
back, running back,
Leonard Raskin 17:08
whatever you want. Receiver,
Nestor Aparicio 17:11
he threw his back. Deacon Jones would be happy with that. He
Leonard Raskin 17:14
threw a right cross at Fitzpatrick and threw him away like a rag doll. I mean, my God, that’s that’s crazy. And then I was worried. I was really worried. So Lamar, take a knee to the back. I was real worried there. I thought we had cracked ribs and all kinds of bad he got up and ran again the next Josh
Nestor Aparicio 17:34
Allen, at the end of the end of the end, ripped his fingernail. Oh yeah, yeah. Thinking that’s going to be a story for sure this week. Can
Leonard Raskin 17:43
he throw without a fingernail? I think so.
Nestor Aparicio 17:46
Oh, yeah. I mean, I think there’s all sorts of things going on here that work against both of these teams once they get to Kansas City next week. If that were the case, Kansas City’s a 10 point favorite at
Leonard Raskin 17:54
home because Kansas City played in a month. I mean, my goodness, not hard.
Nestor Aparicio 17:58
Right? Worries me even more, you know, getting them healthy and prepared and all that, that’s why I want to see Houston steamroll Houston on. I think so too. I think so, you know, I think it’ll be 24 to three at halftime, and, you know, and then then it’s on, and then something that we have to but Philadelphia’s in the tournament. Why? They can be playing each other next week. And this thing, this thing, has all the potential to be legendary, right, like all the way through. And I’ve even said to Luke, if the Ravens go to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl, and you think about the pathway of destroying Pittsburgh, winning in Buffalo, however, they’ll do it. I hope it doesn’t take a mile high miracle or park overture, you know, whatever it would be, if that’s what happens, if that’s the pathway, it continues this storybook, story for this kid from Pompano Beach who is better than everybody else in football, right, right?
Leonard Raskin 18:58
And I think I don’t know when, when MVP voting takes place. Is it already done? Yes, voting is in Yes, it’s already done. Okay, I didn’t know that. This does not affect that. Again, didn’t know that. So that’s that was my point. This Sunday night would be an amazing picture of who wins. I mean, if we go in there and the offense destroys that,
Nestor Aparicio 19:22
nobody’s gonna care about the most valuable player trophy the morning after they get eliminated. Honors thing they do, yeah, if you’re there, accepting the trophy Sucks
Leonard Raskin 19:31
to be you. But if you’re at the Pro Bowl, if you’re at the Pro Bowl, it’s not the game. And now, what is it? Flag Football? If you’re at the Manning flag football bowl, you lost it’s it’s a bad day. I get it. I get it. Well, it’s only people that really care. I think the only people that care is that when the Hall of Fame notifications go out, yes, that’s the only people that care.
Nestor Aparicio 19:53
I had Clark judge on last week to talk about what we talked about. Yeah, Steve Smith was at the game the other night. Yonda and also. Steve, saw Steve in the box. Oh yeah, he was doing all of that. Had a chance to shake Steve’s hand, give him a hug, congratulate him. You know, two minute little chat. There it was getting in.
Leonard Raskin 20:12
I just, I just said, nervous
Nestor Aparicio 20:13
energy for all those guys that are on the bubble. And how about he’s getting in this year, because he’s not, I don’t know.
Leonard Raskin 20:19
I think you’re, you’re, you’re, you’re guys your marketing team and whoever, they did a great job Saturday night of Baltimore. They really did
Nestor Aparicio 20:28
low and they had lives unbelievable. She She is
Leonard Raskin 20:33
fantastic. I’ve seen her online, and I didn’t realize she was going to be there live. She was It was amazing. And then Suggs, Steve Smith, nada and then, beginning middle of the fourth quarter, they bring out Ray. Where was he hiding for three and a half quarters? All
Nestor Aparicio 20:52
they should have done, you know? What they should have done was played renegade at the two minute warning, when it was a 14 point lead, if they would have played renegade for the Ravens fans, the party, yeah. Oh, man, I, I endorse that, by the way. Tell you if you see Chad Steele, don’t mention the press band I don’t have this week. Mention the fact that they should have played renegade if they really, if they wanted to be tough guys, right? They had a chance to do that. You know, that was
Leonard Raskin 21:16
they brought rain. Fantastic. When Tomlin
Nestor Aparicio 21:19
calls the time out. Okay, Oh, mama, oh, my god, like Donkey Kong there.
Leonard Raskin 21:30
Letter Raskin is here. He might have gone on the field. Tomlin might have been on the field.
Nestor Aparicio 21:33
He manages the American dream beyond Lamar Jackson’s American dream of making all this money and trying to win football games this week. Um, so an elevator speech for what Raskin globe? What is Raskin global? Letter. Raskin
Leonard Raskin 21:46
global is a firm of advisors who help entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, ordinary Americans, do the right thing with their money so they can achieve their American dream, so they can do with their money, what’s more important than the money itself? They understand its value to them for what? Whether it’s to go to a football game in Buffalo, which it’s, yeah, not for most people, whether it’s too
Nestor Aparicio 22:13
cheap, buck and a half, you know, if you if you want to freeze again, I you’ve been to a game in Buffalo. I have, yeah, yeah, I’ve been to, you know, I mean, it was, know that for three quarters. So I’m wearing the Oilers crazy Jersey right now. I was not at the game with the comeback. I was there the year before. The bill soundly beat the Oilers, maybe 27 to 13 the year before. And, you know, Kelly was on the ascending it was the late 80s. Warren Moon. Was Warren Moon, and they were doing it. They just weren’t good enough. Defensively. Certainly weren’t good enough at that point. They were running and shooting and doing all of that. I saw that game, but I was there when they freight trained the Raiders, the the art shell. Jay Schrader, 51 to three. No game. Ted marcher bro to the K gun offense. I went to that game. I fell in love that weekend in Buffalo, 19 eight. Was New Year’s Day 1988 um, I was up there that for those games. So I went to Buffalo Bills, Bills games back in the late 80s with for SIG for six coming on this week. You know, he’s a light it’s cold and but then in the modern era, when the Ravens existed, yeah, we played up there every three, five years. Yeah, I’ve been there. I’ve been up six times in the
Leonard Raskin 23:29
Buffalo, friends. I never broke a table.
Nestor Aparicio 23:33
Yeah. I mean, when I’ve gone up there, to be really honest with you, it was amazing in the 80s, like it was, it was just amazing to be there when they when they were winning 51 to three and going to their first Super Bowl, the one before Norwood that that was their first AFC Championship Game, where SIG and I drove in our car with Judy Edgar. We, we all went to Buffalo, spent the weekend in Buffalo and the and went to that game. We didn’t have a team here. Then remember 1988 89 and in the modern era, the bills thing, my wife and I’ve been married 22 years. She’s probably been up there two or three times. Luke’s been up a couple I went up before that. Yep, it’s always been like, 80,000 seat stadium, and nobody in it because it’s hard to fill. And they were awful, awful. I’m talking about Marshawn Lynch was up there, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, and just like, so all of that, I’ll tell you, dude, if you want an environment, it’s, I know it’s crazy. Now it’s supposed to snow on some gonna be crazy wild. Tickets are a buck and a half, like, you can it’s six hours. Like, Luke and I talked about going, and the reason we’re not going is we didn’t want to drive all day Monday. I got radio to do, yeah, sort of like, alright, you know the credential thing. It’s sitting out in the cold, whatever we’re flying the we have flights held to, can’t say we’re going to go to Kansas City next week, Luke’s news. Credential, I’m going to stand like this, like the Hispanic from the water fountain out in the back, you know, the frozen water fountain out in the back. Um, after doing this work for 40 years, but. I would say buffalo. This is an experience. If people you know what I mean, absolutely you know, like, if you’re gonna go to a great place to see a game, and I would run a bus, if I felt like there were 50 people that wanted to get on a bus with me and go up, I would go up and freeze. I mean, I, you know, it’s, I don’t dislike buffalo. I think it’s a great trip for third people ask me why I’m not good. Am locked out if you want to be a dick about it, fine. Oh, you want to buy tickets like i i bought more tickets than anybody you know. Anybody you’ve ever known more ravens tickets, Baker, compliment other than minder, I have bought more tickets than anybody in the history of histories of PSLs ever, and to be treated the way I was treated, and to be told I can’t have a press pass. Well, my my Caucasian employee, can, after 30 years because of some guy like I’m not. I’m not in a hurry to spend six hours driving to Buffalo, that being
Leonard Raskin 25:55
said, or taking other people to make the money Kansas City’s going to
Nestor Aparicio 25:59
cost me 300 bucks to get in, or 400 bucks to get in, I’ll probably, I love that stadium and the vibe. It’s crazy place. It’ll be worth it to me. And Luke’s gonna have a like, whatever. I hope we win. I’m not rooting the city. Oh, I hope I’m rooting against them. I’m the guy wearing the Derrick Henry jersey.

here we are. We’re that close. We’re that close. It’s, it’s the guy you want. As Lamar said post game, you know, he takes the pressure off of him. It was kind of stunning early in the game, they were, they were not going to let Derek Henry beat him, and Lamar ran all over him. Then they said, Oh, we gotta stop that guy. And then Derek Henry ran all over him, and then Lamar threw to everybody and anybody that nobody knew who they were. Some of these guys didn’t even know their name, Guy catching a ball, guy running a ball. Who are these people? I don’t know, but they’re doing it.

Leonard Raskin 27:56
what I said. 50 runs. And that’s how we’re going to win. That’s how we’re going to beat buffalo. It’s how we’re going to beat Kansas City. It’s how we’re going to city. It’s how we’re going to win the world. That’s what you got to do. It’s who we are, and it brings brings time of possession, makes it easier on the defense, less possessions to worry about. What do we and it’s going to Buffalo Sunday, two to one time of possession, yeah. And it’s going to snow, so be a great time. Well, it’s
