BLEAV in Bills: How can anyone think Josh Allen is overrated?
In this episode, Sal Maiorana is joined by guest Matt Parrino to answer the Josh Allen overrated question, and break down the 53-man roster decisions.
The Buffalo Bills don’t play Aaron Rodgers in his first − and only thus far − game with the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. Or have a test against the defending Super Bowl champions to open the NFL season on Thursday Night Football.
The Bills opener isn’t a marquee matchup like in recent years. They host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 at Highmark Stadium at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Northern Arizona high school renames sports dome to honor legendary former coach

EAGAR, AZ (AZFamily) — It was a special night on the field at Round Valley High School, as the Elks football team beat rival St. Johns 36-0.
That included a special halftime ceremony, where the school’s dome was renamed the ‘Tot Workman Dome’ in honor of the legendary former Elks head coach.
“He was a kid at heart,” son Ty Workman said. “He died at 82, but he acted like he was 15 most of the time.”
Tot may have acted like a teenager, but make no mistake; as a coach, he was all about toughness, especially towards his sons, Tod and Ty.
“For us Workmans to play, it took until our senior years,” Ty said. “He wasn’t going to play us. There wasn’t going to be any ‘Hey coach’s kids are playing.’”
What Tot did was win. 100 victories in his first 10 years at Round Valley. That included a 34-game win streak. He won three state championships with the Elks and didn’t lose a game at home until his fifth year in Eagar.
“We went into every game expecting to win,” former Elk football player Chris Matthews said. “Tot was a great motivator. He also did a great job teaching kids life lessons. Things like discipline, perseverance, hard work.”
One of Tot’s biggest goals while he was Round Valley’s coach was to build this dome so that all of Eastern Arizona could use it. Over the years, it’s hosted countless state tournaments in wrestling and volleyball. It even has an indoor track with space for the 110-meter hurdles.
Knowing that it will forever be named in Tot’s honor means a lot to everyone in this tight-knit community.
“It’s real special to the Workman family,” Ty said. “And we want to thank everyone in the Round Valley area. All the great coaches and athletes that my dad was blessed to have a part of him.”

Houston's Kyle Tucker, Arizona's Ketel Marte reinstated from IL before start of series
HOUSTON — Houston and Arizona got an All-Star back from injury Friday before the start of a three-game series, with right fielder Kyle Tucker returning for the Astros and second baseman Ketel Marte coming off the injured list for the Diamondbacks.
Tucker has been out since fracturing his right shin with a foul ball on June 3. He still isn’t 100% and was in the lineup at designated hitter Friday night before the Astros have him play defense.
“It’s just kind of day to day to see how he feels,” Houston manager Joe Espada said. “But it’s not going to be like pencil him in days in a row, we’re just going to have to wait and see how he feels.”
Espada was asked what he expects from Tucker when he does play right field.
“Defensively we don’t know yet until he goes out there, but running you’ll see 75-80%,” he said.
Tucker was off to a great start before his injury and had 11 doubles, 19 homers and 40 RBIs in 60 games.
Marte, also in the lineup Friday at designated hitter, had a much shorter stint on the injured list. He has been out since spraining his left ankle Aug. 18.
“He’s looking great and we’re really excited about how hard he worked to make this day happen,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “He’s one of the best players in the National League, so getting him in this clubhouse, in this dugout, in this lineup is good for all of us, including him. And I know he’s excited to be back.”
Lovullo has said that Marte will get some time at designated hitter before he returns to second base.
Marte was batting .298 with 30 homers and 81 RBIs before his injury.
Outfielder Jorge Barrosa was optioned to Triple-A Reno Thursday to make room for Marte on the roster.
Houston optioned infielder Zach Dezenzo to Triple-A Sugar Land and designated left-hander Parker Mushinski for assignment Friday when Tucker was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
