BSD on the Joe Bendel Show

For those of you who missed my appearance on the Joe Bendel show last week you can listen to the Podcast here. Stay tuned for the last question where I pretty much ruin any chance of ever being asked back on the Joe Bendel show.

And for the record...

In true blogger fashion I was sitting in my underwear during the interview…and that’s no lie.

That last question still blows my mind.

The underwear thing, not so much.

Nice job.

Great to hear someone speak the truth about Pryor.

My Zug

That last question was total bullshit, but kudos on handling it like a rational human being Mike, even if you’re blacklisted on that show now.

How is Daryll Clark going challenge PRYOR? Jesus, he already did last year and came out the victor. Pryor’s a true soph who left quite a bit to be desired last season despite being hailed as the next Vince Young and savior of Big Ten QBs. Zug dammit, I can’t wait for November…

Vince Young’s first throw last night was an INT

Well, I guess they meant 'College Vince Young'

when they said Pryor would be the next one in his shoes.

vinsainty looked like a deer in headlights the little bit i watched last night.

By the way, since I didn't watch the game

Was Collins starting, or was Young? I know it’s a pre-season game and means jack, but just curious whether they’re going to give the reigns back to KColl this season or not.

Collins is the starter without question.

I loved how....

I think it was the first series when Posluszny almost picked Kerry Collins. He got a great tip on it, just couldn’t bring it in, and he was so pissed, he had this violent reaction to the miss. LOL. I was like “it’s Preseason man, relax”.

The whole thing reminded me of some mythical Alumni Blue/White game. It was awesome. Can’t wait for the season to start…..College season, that is. I can’t get excited about the NFL season until College is underway.

did

i miss all of last year? i don’t watch a lot of NFL games and certainly the Bills never make local broadcasts unless they’re playing the dolphins, not that i’m sitting thru that suckfest anytime, ever.. but when did Poz start getting hairstyle tips from AJ Hawk?

Second

His second throw was a INT. His first throw hit Lendale White in the knees. Even Al Michaels botched that one, though.

Psh

That doesn’t sound that bad. I’ve heard way worse calls.

You like that?

Did you notice how I asked him to rephrase the question to make sure I was hearing him correctly? I was in utter disbelief.

I did notice

That’s what I meant. That “Oh jeeze” to start off your response made me crack up because I know I would have been struggling to hold back from laughing in the guy’s face when he asked a question like that. Asking him to clarify the question just in case he accidentally switched Pryor being the B10 offensive player of the year with Clark was equally as hilarious. I was also in total disbelief and I had already heard about this exchange days ago without hearing the podcast until today.

Seriously...

I can’t believe he said DC had to “give challenge” to Pryor… give challenge? what challenge We don’t consider mediocrity challenging… Pryor, can you challenge DC? We’ll see in the next couple months~

nice job mike

of tossing idiotic question back at him..

If Pryor was at Penn State, he’d be riding the pine or being used ala how MRob got on the field until Clark graduated, can anybody argue against this?

by mbailey71 on Aug 10, 2009 1:06 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Pryor looked pretty good when OSU used him as a receiver…

Ah man,

I wanted to hear the Pitt fans call in after and pile on.

Well played, Mike.

Last night when the former O$U punter faked a punt and ran it in for TD, he got 3 assists

agreed

that was pretty sweet but i can’t imagine that film time is going to be fun for the Bills punt return guys or the special teams coach….

by mbailey71 on Aug 10, 2009 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Seriously

The punter cut back into the field rather than go out of bounds. That is just awful.

He HAS to be trying to rile you up.

a sports talk host?

do something so underhanded as to try and rile up their guests to get a reaction? say it’s not SO

again, kudos Mike

by mbailey71 on Aug 10, 2009 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I dunno

I think that most of his exposure to Pryor has been from the National Media, and he likely hasn’t actually watched him play (much). If the only thing’s you ever heard about Pryor came from ESPN, you too would probably ask a similar question. And then after Mike’s response, Bendel even says something like, “yeah, he is really good/had a really good year, being 1 point from possibly taking his team to the National Championship game” in regards to Pryor, so not too much riling up there.

by The JuggerNitt on Aug 10, 2009 4:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I liked how you handled that last question

what I don’t get is when he says Pryor was 1 point of a national championship? I’m guessing he’s talking about the Penn State game, where his team lost to a Daryll Clark led team, but if you throw that stat out there you could throw out the stat of Clark losing on a last second FG to Iowa, dashing our NC hopes (or the other close games in the Big12). And he seemed to forget the blowout at USC that the Buckeyes had, which ruined their title hopes. I do like Pryor, but jeez, no need to put him on a pedistool for putting his shoes on

by WPIALkid22 on Aug 10, 2009 3:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Pedistool?

I was going to say something more, but I’ll let the photoshoppers’ imaginations run wild with this one…

that question threw me off pretty bad, that’s my excuse. We’ll count that as a mulligan

by WPIALkid22 on Aug 10, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I thought that comment was about DC.

I think he was kind of back-pedaling and admitting that Clark did have a better year last year.

by Elihu on Aug 10, 2009 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, I think that was about the last second loss to Iowa

He wanted to end on DC17, but it sounded like he wasn’t expecting Mike to pull a reverse on what he said, so he tried to pull it all back in at the end with “last second loss ending what was probably a MNC run as his first year as a starter”. He definitely was not talking about Pryor.
