God forbid someone cuts into their "food draft" by forcing Schopp to say "I'm good, thanks". That would be bad radio.
I have spoken to people who have attended multiple functions with Schopp, and they say he has the same rude, elitist attitude off the air as he has on the air. So, it's not all about not wanting to waste precious seconds of top notch sports wisdom, it's about this guy really just is a jerk. I feel sorry for him.

To be honest, I think everyone on the list belongs in the Hall except maybe Kevin Greene and Cortez Kennedy. It always amazes me how tough it is to get into the Footbaal Hall, yet with any of the other sports it seems like every fringe hall of famer is in.

I do listen to sports radio and most radio for a good dash of humor. Count me and others I know as who in the world would actually laugh at Greg Bauch's stuff..........Although you did pick a few things out that are probably their worst two things. The Willie Mays thing would be funny, but he'll keep going on and on with it.......And, when they break into that Matchgame thing, that really is neither funny nor entertaining.....Bob Valvano will do that for a whole 20 minute segment on the weekend overnight and that's when I turn that off.
Like I said though, it's easy to rip on other's humor if you aren't going to put up who you like or say you don't want humor period.

I listen to a lot of SIRIUS XM and find Adam Schein on NFL Radio Funny. Chris Mad Dog Russo is funny. Scott Wetzel on Mad Dog Radio is hilarious. Steve Somers overnight on WFAN in NY is funny. There you go, I named a few that I think are more humorous than the GR guys.

Yeah, I know everybody in the media gets ripped on this board.....So, who in radio do you think is funny?
I don't listen to sports radio for humor necessarily. The problem with Bauch and other WGR personalities is that they are trying to be funny but aren't. This then becomes quite annoying. When Schopp and the Bulldog are bantering about some useless thing and Bauch pipes in with something he thinks is clever or witty, I wonder who in the world would actually laugh at it.
Even more annoying is their little sound bytes, skits, etc. For example that "Willie Mays.... Micky Mantle" thing and the Panther are ridiculous attempts at humor. Nothing in radio is stupider though than when Schopp asks a question and the rest of the nitwits pretend they're on that game show and answer with, "Well Bob, I went with....".

I'm glad others feel the same way about Greg Bauch as I do. I can't believe this guy moonlights as a comedian. I have never laughed at one friggin thing this guy piped in with, yet every time he says anything, Schopp giggles like a school girl.
My problem with WGR is that there is not one on air personality that hase gone on record as saying that either Darcy Regier or Lindy Ruff should be fired. They're afraid to because of their relationship with the Sabres. If anyone thinks that they're going to objective now about the Bills, you're crazy. Not to mention, they do not have a single host that has enough football knowledge to break down a game.

7.5 mil per for 4/5 years is fine by me. Watching his routes against Revis convinced me he's a star. I believe he's genuine in his love for the Bills and the city of Buffalo. He wants to be here and be a part of this thing. He's a big name around the league. It all adds up to the fact that you have to pay the man!!!!
-
Andre Branch from Clemson is a guy who has caught my eye. He looks like a pure speed pass rusher from the clips I've seen. Anybody have any info on him?
-
It might cool down the local media a bit, but you're probably right they'll still kill the Bills all offseason. That's why I have Sirius XM NFL Radio I guess.
-
I'll be watching. If the Billa could win this game, there will be great vibes going into the offseason. Ending the season by beating 2 playoff teams would br a great sign. The local media will lay off a bit and actually talk about the Bills in a positive light in the upcoming months.
-
My guess is they let Bell go because they have Hairston behind him, but the way Bell controlled Dumerville last week, I'm not so sure this is the smart thing to do.
-
One of my New Year's resolutions is to not listen to WGR for a whole year!
I've been saying I'm going to stop listening to WGR for a long time. Unfortunately we don't have any other real options. It's a shame that were stuck with these hosts that don't really know anything about football X's and O's and clearly don't enjoy talking about football.

Bills vault book, 50 year retrospective
Awesome book, I got that for Christmas last year!
This year I got a ton if stuff that would have come in handy if there was one more home game. I got a fleece blanket, zubaz pants, and 2 hoodies.

I was lucky enough to attend every game tis season, preseason and regular season. I had a lot of fun at the Bronco game. I love Tebow, but I admit I was chanting "Tebow Sucks" along with everyone else. There's nothing horrible about that. We're passionate fans and it felt good to stand there, having fun together and giving Tebow a warm Buffalo reception. Even my wife was chanting it!

People tend to say that Freddy is a young 30 years old because his NFL career started so late. He still took a lot of shots in college and in the arena league. In fact, I think they play both sides of the ball in indoor football. So, I'm a bit concerned about how much more he has left. I love him, but the his shelf life won't be all that much longer IMO. I've been a supporter of CJ's from day one. I think he can handle the feature back role. If it came down to paying Freddy or Stevie, I'd have to want them to commit to Stevie.

Hands down Bar Bill in East Aurora!
-
I'm a huge Tebow fan, but it's Bills to the end for me. I've been to every game this season including preseason, and I'll be there on Christmas Eve. I'll be rooting for the Bills that day but I will say there is no team I'd hate to lose to less than the Broncos.

Anyone know where Floyd from ND is projected to go? If we could get best available pass rusher in round 1 and Floyd in round two that would be great! They need a WR, but pass rusher has to be first priority.
-
Very cool. Good for him. Thanks for posting.
-
We are still talking about his wallet . Right ?
Lol! One of the funniest things I've ever read on this forum.
-
I agree on Pike. He was the first name that popped into my head. He always seemed to come up with a big play.
How bout Kenneth Davis? Whenever he spelled Thurman the offense didn't miss a beat.
-
I agree about the lack of pressure, but let's face it, Brady seems to have all day in the pocket regardless of who they play. Meriman is hurt, somethings not right with him. When he gets right, look out! With Merriman and Dareus not yet hitting their stride this season, the best is yet to come with this Defense.
-
I agree, and could the Bills get a Sunday night flex this year???
-
That play in the 1st quarter of the Kansas City game… he came off the field with what looked like "a stinger."
He was not the same after that play.
Referencing a different thread, I saw what Bill from NYC saw in the preseason, a guy (Merriman) with explosiveness. After that play he had no explosiveness.
If what you say is correct (and I don't doubt it) it could very well be that he's been nursing an injury that he sustained in the KC game and that he re-aggravated it.
Yep, a re-aggravation of the stinger seemed a possibility the way he reacted.
-
I have not seen it anywhere, but when Merriman was introduced to the crowd Sunday he seemed to have injured his right arm while doing his famous lights out dance. Right away he sort of grabbed his arm and then let it hang down without moving it. Moments later a trainer was looking at it on the sideline. Did anybody else at the game notice this? Could it explain his poor showing Sunday?
Wow colt done in cleveland

I'd consider it. Colt isn't going to be a franchise type of QB, but to me, he seems like an ideal backup. He's smart, he's a winner and just seems like the type of guy I wouldn't mind plugging in for a few weeks or whatever if Fitz got hurt. I'm scared to death about the backup we have now.
