If you need some inspiration, watch this Bull in the Basement. Marlon Kerner was a 3rd round draft pick for the Bills with a long NFL future in front of him until he blew out not one but both of his knees. Those injuries ended that NFL career after less than 4 years. His story of ascension toward reaching his goal, getting it ripped away from him by no fault of his own, and weathering that life altering blow in this episode. From football star to Target manager and now helping small businesses achieve greatness, Marlon's persistence and refuse to give up are a great inspiration.

Pete Weber in Buffalo did radio with the Bills, Sabres, Bisons, Bandits, UB, St. Bona, and more. He's the current play by play voice of the Nashville Predators but has also worked with the LA Kings. And he worked the NBA too with yes, the Seattle Supersonics. He talks about his peer and friend Rick Jeanerette. He talks Marv Levy, Bill Polian, and Jim Kelly.

Scott Chandler played for the Bills for 5 years, yes during the drought but with some really fun teams. He averaged 45 catches a year and scored 17 TDs. His single season TE TD record was broken by Dawson Knox last week. He finished his career with the Goat, the Hoodie, and the Pats. In this outtake from my TV show he discusses playing here, there, and what he thinks will happen on Monday. Like, learn, laugh, subscribe and share the BITB word! Thank you!!

He's a native Buffalonian who got his start in Buffalo radio as an intern then personality then got an offer  he couldnt refuse. It was a huge risk, an all-in decision, that helped propel Josh Potter's career to an incredible place. He's got a huge following now on the 'gram, on twitch, and more. His podcasts and standup are getting great reviews and recognition and he got an incredible compliment from a guy who arguably is the kind of this medium.
