Butch Rolle, Former Buffalo Bills TE

Butch Rolle, Former Buffalo Bills TE

Author: Blue Wire August 17, 2021 Duration: 1:09:12

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast Patrick Moran is joined by former Buffalo Bills tight end Butch Rolle for a fascinating conversation spanning Butch's life and career as well as his charitable foundation that has a bowling event going on in West Seneca this weekend.

A former seventh-round draft of the Bills out of Michigan State in 1986, Rolle became famous in Buffalo and around the NFL as the guy who "all he does is catch touchdowns." Rolle once caught 14 consecutive passes for touchdowns.  Butch describes growing up in Florida, never playing organized football until 10th grade but still becoming a big-time recruit, why he decided to attend Michigan State for college, what it was like being drafted by Buffalo---a team that stunk in 1986, the process of the team growing into a contender and much more.

They also end with a TBP Fun Fact Finale, where we learned a ton of cool tidbits about Butch including the toughest teammate he ever went against, his favorite non-Bills player in football and who was better between Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith.

For more information on how you can be part of the Butch Rolle Foundation Annual Charity Bowling Event on August 21st, visit ButchRolleFoundation.org. Teams of five and individual packages are on sale.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
