I have 49 direct reports. Seven of them are men. So I've got 38 women who spend 40+ hours together every week.
Last week - just between Thursday and Friday, I had 5 criers in my office. A couple of them were all out snot bubble crying. All over petty ****.
The McClinton Effect is real.
Are you sure it didn't have anything to do with the NFL draft? There was a lot of crying going on at TBD on Friday...

Is Van Scoy Diamond Mine still in business....i remember those god awful commercials from the early 80's....."hi, tommy van scoy here from van scoy diamond minds..." most annoying commercials i have ever heard
Buffalo radio's version of Tom Carvell's tv pitches. With all they were saving by not hiring a professional announcer, you would think they would have seen an ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Schtupp on GR would listen to your research and projections, say "uh...I disagree", and hang up on you.
Good research and effort, whether time proves you right or wrong.

So is the world. Before Twitter, there just weren't as many opportunities for them to prove it.

Should we get an analytics person to look at this thread to see who's correct?

Oh yeah let's go further my Futureama/ Matrix inspired Hypno-toad.... I'm onto you
58.5% is the completion percentage that has a 98% confidence rate in determining the failure rate among QBs.
IE if a QB is under 58.5% completion rate, there is a 98%+ chance the QB will be a bust.
But 585 is the area code of Rochester, NY! Rochester is the second largest supporter of the Bills and attendance at games.
So we have a double negative of 585 and 716 in play. That is a positive! McBeane is a numerology witch!
The last QB to beat the 58.5% mark was...... Brett Favre.
Brett Favre was a farming family country boy, with a big arm, who was agile, a gunslinger and threw the most INTs in NFL history, but also kept the Pack (the other small market team) in games and won a SB. He also used social media to send inappropriate texts! Just like the media is trying to show now with Allen! It's spooky
Look here:
Final college year stat comparison:
QB A - 150 CMP/ 275 ATT - 54.5%, 1572 YARDS, 5.7 Y/A, 7 TD, 6 INT 106.6 RATE
QB B - 152 CMP/ 270 ATT - 56.3%, 1812 YARDS, 6.7 Y/A, 16 TD, 6 INT 127.8 RATE
QB A is Brett Favre, QB B is Josh Allen
How can you argue these facts my friend?!

He was right. You kinda heard right. They divided the lottery up into two parts. The first part was which three teams were going to have a chance at the top pick. The Sabres, even finishing last, had a chance to draft fourth. So you heard the radio guy say they won the lottery because they were one of the three teams in the finals. Plus, it's generally regarded that there were three stud players in this draft and by getting into top three we would get one of them.
The second half of the lottery was announced almost three hours later. That was the order of the top three. And we won that too. So you kind of heard right. The NHL confused the situation not the intern.
Excellent explanation. Thank you!

Probably Brandon seeing it as 'free advertising' for PSE's 716 gin mill. Told you he'd have his fingers in it! ?

Jot a fan of Eric Turner. He’s essentially a fan with website, if they brought him into WGR, no one would listen
Isn't that how Parker got his start evenings at WBEN AM years ago? Granted, it's a different landscape on radio nowadays, with 2 dedicated sports talk stations on the AM dial.

He must have meant having the worst record, the first pick isn’t guaranteed
Could be, could also be 'senior hearing' on my part. ?

In a nation where English is regularly butchered, people here take it to holocaust-like levels.
Go have a look at what passes for 'journalism' at local news media websites. News compiled by scanning social media. Most 'reporters' aren't qualified to have sharpened John Corbett's pencils.

They did have less than 20% odds but they still had the best odds to win. I believe it was 18.5%
I remember the kid making the statement around 4 p.m., just going into a local news break, and was sure he implied that with winning the lottery, the first pick was not guaranteed.

The Buffalo Sabres
They finally WON the NHL draft lottery. With that win they get to select Rasmus Dahlin, who looks to be a transformative player not just for the Sabres, but potentially for the Defenseman position in the league.Then why was they radio announcer (a non sports station) blathering yesterday that the Sabres actually have a less than 20% chance of selecting first overall? He highlighted also that the odds this year are actually worse than the 'tank' year, and the Sabres might well not pick until the third, fourth, or fifth position. Weekend intern playing fast and loose with the facts?

BTW: WGR-550 is no worse than a lot of local sports talk radio in this country. Much of it is crap.
Talk radio = contrived controversy. Be it sports, right wing, or left wing politics. Entercom has been lining their pockets for years based upon that fact.

Either way, you'll be saying "Not this crap again!" five minutes after tuning in. How many times can you listen to Led Zeppelin's 'Black Dog'? ?

so does that make them feel better or worse about themselves?
It could do either I imagine, based upon the mindset of the viewer. In some cases, a reinforcement of the belief 'I am useless / too fat / stupid', but in some cases a catalyst to action, as in the idiot on Yonge St. Monday.

I would also blame the social media instagram vanity insanity culture as well which can foster this kind of hate.
It also bears mentioning that whereas this individual would simmer in their own inadequacies years ago, the interconnected nature of today's social media gives them an audience of like minded individuals.

That is so corny.
It's embarrassing. Why can't they hire a talented advertising company to do these for them?
The same reason so many local commercials sound lame on AM radio. That's what you get when a few interns, production assistants, and a septuagenarian ad exec (semi retired) whip something up.

Just watched a great documentary on Showtime.."New Wave..Dare to Different" about WLIR and the New Wave/Punk/Alternative music in the early 80's and the effect this station had on music in the US. Thought it was very good, and for people of my age(55) will bring back a ton of memories.
I don't remember a Buffalo station playing these songs..maybe someone here can help me out. I distinctly remember seeing the Police at Uncle Sams or Stage One in high school, so before 1981, so some station must have been playing this music.
WZIR and WUWU were about the only places to hear 'New Wave' , progressive, or whatever you care to call it back in the 80s. IIRC, most of the crew migrated to WUWU after WZIR changed the format, they weren't concurrent. Also available was the eclectic CFNY 102.1 (The Spirit of Radio) out of Brampton.
