WATCH: ESPN Host Mike Greenburg Joins Buffalo Bills Mafia After Epic Josh Allen Rant?
ESPN veteran host Mike Greenberg is a long-time fan of the Jets, but he may have earned honorary - temporary? - membership into Bills Mafia this week with an emotional defense of quarterback Josh Allen.
When a graphic popped up on Wednesday's Get Up! asking if Allen would have over/under 1.5 turnovers in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Greenberg went ballistic.
“I’m aiming this directly at my favorite people in the world, the staff of this show,” Greenberg said. “Jordan Love: How many touchdowns is he going to throw? Tyreek Hill, how many yards? Josh Allen: How many turnovers? What a disrespectful question for us to be asking about a guy who is playing, I’m going to say it, better than anyone in this league!”

Greenberg, who had missed several shows recently with COVID, then proceeded to rip up his notes on the segment tied to the graphic.
“I’m not here and I’m getting texts from people saying 'Oh they’re killing Josh Allen on your show over the interception that he threw in the Philadelphia game'." Greenberg continued. "Let me say something about him. There were 106 players in uniform for that game. Of them, by far, the one who played the best was Josh Allen. We focus more on the one bad play Josh Allen makes every week than the 60 that almost no one in history possibly could. His team would be so bad if they didn’t ask him to do absolutely everything. He is the most unfairly judged player in the NFL."
