Mia's Story
Summary
Bruce Nolan shares the story of adopting Mia, an English Cream Retriever, to help his anxious dog Drax adjust to the loss of his pack mates. He uses Mia’s non-linear development as a metaphor for the Buffalo Bills' current 4-1 season, arguing that while the team faces issues with clock management and pass defense, they are at a plateau where they must hope for a sudden leap forward. Nolan also addresses listener emails regarding post-game press conferences, the value of drafting cornerback depth, and the NFL's evolving meta of punching the ball.
