Joe Davis, while commenting on a game, incorrectly stated that Josh Allen was the Bills' first MVP since Thurman Munson. The correct reference should have been Thurman Thomas, who won the MVP in 1991. Munson was a New York Yankees catcher, awarded MVP in 1976, but he has no connection to the Bills' MVP history. Davis' mix-up serves as a reminder of the blurred lines between sports figures with similar names, especially during live broadcasts where errors can occur.
During the third quarter of the game, Davis made a significant error, stating Allen was Buffalo's first MVP since Thurman Munson won the award over three decades ago.
The only problem with Davis' statement? He had the wrong Thurman. The Thurman that Davis meant to say was Thurman Thomas.
Munson, meanwhile, was the catcher for the New York Yankees from 1969 to 1979. During his tenure with the Yankees, Munson did win a Most Valuable Player award.
Despite having the same first name and each having won an MVP award, Davis was far off the mark when he stated Munson was the Bills' last MVP award winner.
