holla83 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) A couple hints: The player was a punter, drafted in the 6th round of the 1990 draft. He was on the roster for 4 games but after looking into it further, it looks like he only appeared in one. The Bills didn't punt in their first game in 1990.

holla83 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) This probably was too obscure. John Nies was a punter, drafted by the Bills in the 6th round of the 1990 Draft. As I said earlier, he only lasted a few weeks. His father is long time NBA referee Jack Nies. His brother is former MTV VJ/host of The Grind Eric Nies.

I went back and listened to the interview where he mentioned it and have posted it below ( it’s just before the 11:00 mark). Upon hearing it the first time I hadn’t realized that Tuten had died. He does says that Tuten WAS his girlfriend’s father. What threw me is Steve Tasker doesn’t catch the past tense and goes on to say that he played with Tuten and asks Tyler to “Say hello for me when you talk to him again.” The kid handles it with the type of unflappability that teams look for when they try to trip up prospects in pre-draft interviews. https://wgr550.radio.com/media/audio-channel/04-30-bills-kicker-tyler-bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that's where you were going. Eric Nies is John Nies' brother. Eric was on the Real World and was an MTV on air personality for awhile after that. I saw the 2 of them on some MTV Spring Break dating show. That's when I first put it all together. I think there was also an episode of the Real World where Eric goes to a game that their dad was officiating.
