Isaiah McKenzie Show S2, E8: The night a teammate nearly died
January 10, 2023 14:26 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBWhat we all saw on Monday Night Football in Cincinnati was horrifying. But what’s it like as an NFL player to think your teammate died on a football field? On our eighth and final episode of “The Isaiah McKenzie Show,” the Buffalo Bills wide receiver relives the trauma. It’s true. Players thought they lost Damar Hamlin for good. Then, Hamlin started breathing again. Then, everyone headed into the locker room and it was veteran center Mitch Morse who spoke up. From the field… to the loc...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2 Ep7: How the Buffalo Bills find ways to win
December 20, 2022 15:37 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBThe psychology of a Super Bowl contender matters in mid-December. Wins like this are a must. The Buffalo Bills trailed by eight in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins, yet found a way. So… how? How do you quantify getting slugged in the jaw and knowing how to respond? We turn again to veteran slot receiver Isaiah McKenzie for answers. He agrees that the 2023 Bills respond in ways past editions could not. A good sign for a team trying to get over the hump. As always, the conversa...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2 Ep6: Is this Isaiah's last dance?
December 13, 2022 16:13 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBThis has been an interesting season for Isaiah McKenzie. To put it mildly. Since our last episode, the Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver has experienced highs and lows. He tore up the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day for 96 yards and a touchdown. He caught all five balls thrown his way in New England for 44 yards. Then, in Buffalo’s 20-12 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, he had a pair of drops that ignited the furor of a Bills fan or two. McKenzie always keeps it real for listeners of “...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2 Ep5: It's gut-check time for the Buffalo Bills
November 15, 2022 16:51 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MBPro football will always be more mental than physical. Beyond the 4.3 speed colliding at all conceivable angles, wins and losses are determined between the ears. So, let’s say hello to the 2022 Buffalo Bills. An ultra-talented team — the odds-on Super Bowl favorites — have struggled for 2 1/2 games now. And they’re also fresh off one of the most insane finishes you’ll ever see in a sporting event. On this episode of the Isaiah McKenzie Show at Mister’s Bar & Lanes in East Aurora, NY, the ...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2 Ep4: The Bills-Chiefs rematch is here
October 11, 2022 13:13 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBWe had a packed house at Mister’s Bar & Lanes in East Aurora, NY this week. First, a huge thank you to the East Aurora JV Little Loop squad and all families who spent their Monday night with us. Quite a turnout for a player who didn’t even suit up in Buffalo’s 38-3 throttling of the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium the day prior. I suppose that’s the pull of one, “Lil Dirty.” Isaiah McKenzie was in pure form again for Episode 4. A few topics discussed… * His health. McKenzie was...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2 Ep3: 'I couldn't move'
October 04, 2022 12:56 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBWhy exactly are pro football players different than the rest of us? Exhibit A: Mister’s Bar & Lanes in East Aurora, NY on Monday night. Isaiah McKenzie could not even move after absorbing a vicious hit in Baltimore that knocked him out of the Buffalo Bills’ 23-20 comeback win. And yet, he cannot wait to venture across the middle of the field again. He loves the physicality. He knows that’s what separates him as a slot receiver. Make no mistake, too. This was a scary moment. On Episode...
Isaiah McKenzie Show S2 Ep2: What was running through the receiver's mind that final play?
September 27, 2022 14:16 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBHindsight is a beautiful thing. These last 48 hours, we’ve all been hyper-analyzing Isaiah McKenzie’s every step that final play against the Miami Dolphins. Could he have gone out of bounds? Should he have collapsed? What was he thinking in real time? On Episode 2 of “The Isaiah McKenzie Show,” we get answers. In immense detail, the Buffalo Bills wide receiver takes you all inside his mind. The Bills fell to the Dolphins, 21-19. It was unbelievably frustrating, too, considering they out...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, S2, Ep1: Inside the gender reveal and the beatdown of the L.A. Rams
September 10, 2022 11:36 - 49 minutes - 67.4 MBNot all gender reveals hit the mark. Many crash and burn. Not all touchdown celebrations pan out, either. Yet, Isaiah McKenzie certainly nailed this one. After scoring his first touchdown of the 2022 season, the Buffalo Bills’ slot receiver screamed “It’s a boy!” into the camera. As we all know now, the message was for his sister. The side-by-side videos quickly went viral. There was much to discuss on Season 2, Episode 1 of “The Isaiah McKenzie Show.” We relived the Bills’ 31-10 smackdow...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 8: An inside look at the emotion behind Bills-Chiefs and '13 Seconds'
January 28, 2022 13:11 - 52 minutesWestern New Yorkers love them some Isaiah McKenzie. We saw that right away on Thursday night. A huge, huge thank you to everyone who packed Mister’s Bar & Lanes for our final live episode of the season. It’s easy to see why the Buffalo Bills wide receiver is so beloved, too. You won’t find many NFL players this authentic and this honest with the public through the stressful ups and downs of an NFL season. And, really, that was the goal with this show at Go Long — to give all football fa...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 7: One shining moment
December 29, 2021 13:29 - 1 hourWhat a month it’s been for Isaiah McKenzie. Not sure we’ve seen a turnaround quite like this anywhere in the NFL this season. Way back when the Buffalo Bills were shellacked by the Indianapolis Colts, 41-15, the receiver/returner was promptly sent to the bench. Head coach Sean McDermott appeared to be making an example out of McKenzie after his fumble in the blowout loss. And right then, as he explains on this week’s show, McKenzie feared his career with the Bills may be finished. He was ...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 6: What happened to the Bills?
November 23, 2021 15:40 - 59 minutesNo, this is not how the Buffalo Bills wanted to be playing football into late November. There is legitimate cause for concern. Unlike last season, they’re not routing opponents with ease. The Indianapolis Colts effectively punched the Bills in the mouth, again and again, through a 41-15 win on Sunday. So, what now? As we wrote at Go Long, the Bills’ problems run deep into the fabric of how this team was built. They’ll have a chance to turn things around quickly on Thanksgiving Day at New O...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 5: 'I was grazed by a bullet once'
November 17, 2021 18:45 - 1 hourCentral to the Buffalo Bills’ turnaround last weekend was the man known as “Lil Dirty” himself. Isaiah McKenzie injected needed life into the Bills against the New York Jets as only McKenzie can with some pregame battle cries, a big punt return and his first touchdown of the season. On Episode 5 of The Isaiah McKenzie Show, here at Go Long, the receiver/returner takes you inside the team’s massive energy shift. How can a team look so bad one week and so good the next? He explains. Buffal...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 4: The true story of 'Lil Dirty'
November 03, 2021 09:13 - 1 hourTeammates said he smells… and has bad breath… and talks too much junk so, of course, we had to give Isaiah McKenzie an opportunity to snipe back here on Episode 4 of The Isaiah McKenzie Show at Go Long. On the Buffalo Bills’ own sponsored video clip on social media, McKenzie was roasted good. McKenzie doesn’t hold back with his response. From there, we learn more about the real “Lil Dirty” on the Isaiah McKenzie Show, live from Mister’s Bar & Lanes in East Aurora, N.Y. * The nickname d...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 3: Why it's time for the Buffalo Bills to give him a scout team 'bonus'
October 27, 2021 09:45 - 1 hourIt’s high time for Isaiah McKenzie to get the ball more in Buffalo. (A 101-yard kick return is proof of that, right?) It’s not time for anyone to hire Isaiah McKenzie as their next babysitter. (This story will crack you up.) He’s masterful at getting underneath the skin of teammates. (Just ask Micah Hyde.) He runs for miles… upon miles… upon miles every practice. (And sure wouldn’t mind a scout team “bonus” in his next deal.) These are just a handful of the many truths we learn on Episo...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 2: Inside the Bills' demolition at Arrowhead
October 13, 2021 19:12 - 58 minutesTo fans, the Buffalo Bills’ 38-20 domination of the Kansas City Chiefs felt like more than just another regular season win. This was the team that knocked the Bills off in the AFC title game, after all. To players, it sure felt special, too. On Episode 2 of the The Isaiah McKenzie, we relive the Buffalo win — from the weather delay to the budding Chiefs rivalry to Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes. McKenzie signed with the Bills in 2018, so he’s seen Allen’s maturation up close. What may surp...
Isaiah McKenzie Show, Ep 1: From Miami Gardens to Orchard Park
October 06, 2021 09:37 - 57 minutesAnd… we’re off. What a fun time at Mister’s Bar and Lanes in East Aurora, NY launching “The Isaiah McKenzie Show” this week. Thrilled to share the show with all of our readers and listeners at Go Long right here. We explained the premise last week, ICYMI. In a sport increasingly watered down by press conferences, the hope is for fans to really get to know one of its most dynamic personalities: Bills receiver/returner Isaiah McKenzie. These 10 episodes should show everyone a side of the gam...
