Mr. Cab Driver

By Chris Brown, Bills Digest Editor
April 5, 2004

For more than a decade now ESPN's Chris Berman has been dead on in naming the top draft pick of the Buffalo Bills just moments before NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue reads the name handed to him at the podium every April at the NFL draft.

While Berman strategically times his soliloquy regarding which prospect he believes the Bills will select, it's not inside information he claims as his own. For years he's attributed his perfect record of predicting Buffalo's top draft choices to someone known only as a cab driver. Just who is this guy?

Bills Digest went to the source and tried to shake down ESPN's football anchorman.

"This cab driver is dialed in," said Berman of his driver's connection to Buffalo's impending draft picks. "He is a rarely seen guy who lives in Connecticut. He picks me up at my house in Connecticut a couple of days before and drives me to the draft."

So when did he start driving Berman to the draft in New York? ESPN's studio host said it started in 1990.

Yea well if you remeber correctly Berman basically told us it would be the McGahee pick b4 they went to commercial right before the Bills pick. Also the year of the Moulds pick he was talking about Eric right before our pick too, so maybe just maybe there is some truth.

I read the article in Bills Digest. There was a line at the end that said that after much investigation that the cab drivers initials are "GM".

Beleive it or not- we aren't allowed to have full articles reprinted here.

It's a violation of copyright laws - technically- the Buffalo Bills could sue the zone if they felt like it.
