I've been looking to his show this week because what happened Sunday. And one thing you can say is that ... he's authentic, not really guarded like Allen, Diggs, etc. those mega stars. I'm not really a big fan of Dunne because he comes across as someone who loves to stir up controversy and over-sell. But he at least gets some athletes like McKenzie to talk by themselves, unlike Sullivan who is only able to formulate a narrative and then push it as the "truth".
In this episode, McKenzie pretty much defended himself on drops, blaming the wet ball. He also indirected pointed fingers at Dorsey and Allen for not getting the ball enough as he claimed, watching the film, he's open a lot (but the ball never came).
At the end, he announced that he's going to retire if the Bills win a superbowl (not joking). As a marginal NFL guy, 8 years is enough for him. Got money, just needs a superbowl to close the chapter. When they win, he's going to drink (never drinks alcohol in his life so far) and do some drugs (presumably to get even higher) all the way to the hospital.
That's very authentic to me. I feel like the superbowl part holds true for a lot of the guys on this team. Taiwan Jones, DaQuan Jones, Safford, even guys like Hyde. You worked a job to get your life set. You know where you are in the ranks, not a super star, HOF type of guy. The one thing you are missing before you are forced to call it quits is a ring. Superstars like Allen, Diggs, Von have an entirely different motivation.
