Buffalo Rumblings
The cast of “The Rich Eisen Show” discuss this polarizing topic
Josh Allen is big time. Having entered the NFL in 2018, the 6’5” Buffalo Bills quarterback has seen his fair share of success. An NFL MVP award, lots of playoff appearances including several in the AFC East Championship game, and broken records in a plethora of categories in the league and for his franchise, Allen has become a household name in the sports world.
However, there’s one thing that the star quarterback is missing: a Super Bowl ring. While some point to his overall achievements in their case for stating that Allen is one of the greatest NFL players of all time, others argue that his lack of top-tier success pushes him below players who have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Allen spoke nostalgically, “I think the night before the draft, I think I gave him (TJ) his first interview on your show.” The two then reminisce about the whole interview experience and how Allen was “in” as soon as TJ mentioned that he was from the show.
“Because Josh Allen is my man and because of that moment, Josh Allen YES! I’m putting him in the Hall of Fame!” exclaimed Jefferson.
Chris Brockman, fellow cast member and long-time New England Patriots fan, had to interject. Chuckling, he immediately responded by stating, “That’s absurd. I mean Josh Allen is a fine player. I really enjoy watching him despite the fact that he plays for the Buffalo Bills but he’s...
