How many sports stations nationwide have you listened to? I've listened to guys in Austin and San Antonio the past few years and they're WAY worse than anything bad you hear on WGR.
Although, having every personality on WGR tow the company line about the new Sabres (ugly) uniforms makes me doubt their credibility. Mike Schoop spent about an hour today trying to convince me that the new Sabres logo has a hidden sabre on the left side and a hidden B on the right side. And people who don't like it hate logos that "make you think." Then he added that he doesn't mean to be condenscending, which is the same thing as saying "Yes, I am being condescending." The reacharounds they've been giving Larry Quinn all summer are embarassing.
Well, I travel a lot for work so I do get to hear plenty of stations
around the country on GR is as bad as it gets. Some stations come close but GR sucks for so many reasons. Good point on the Quinn ass kissing. How that marblemouth Bulldog still has a job is beyond me.

Cowterd show sucks. He fits right in on WGR. Worst sports station in the country.
-
Freddy had some good points this morning....but boy does that morning show suck moose testy's
-
This is just the latest example of had bad WGR sucks. Wow....Dickerson's take on the Bills.....how original. From that moron Bulldog to that no-talent Brad, its just a horrible station on the whole.
-
Lol.....calling me Bob Gaughun?.....now really...lets not say things we cant take back.
Look, my point is that GR is a subpar station with awful content, and terrible hosts.
I'll tell you what, put on FAN590 for 20 minutes. Dont worry about the topic and just listen to how their hosts know how to broadcast. The intelligence of their approach and how they handle callers. It is night and day.
Like I said before, its sad when a 30 season ticket holder cant listen to the local sports station.
-
WGR sucks. No way around it.
The morning show is such a waste of airtime and Riter and Buttdog are such a pair of fratboy idiots that I'm ashamed of the thought of someone from out of town listening and getting the impression that this is representitive of how we talk and think.
If you really want to point the finger at who is responsible for what very well be the worst sports talk station in the northeast, look no further that the idiot program director Andy Roth.
He is the one who took Howards nuts away and paired him with that moron White.
He is the one who sets the tone and message of the station.
Its sad when a 30 year season ticket holder like myself cant even stomach five minutes to find out whats happening with my favorite team.
Hopefully another station will give them a run in the future.

Just an interesting side note to this incident...
I was in the ems room when this happened because my friend decided to drink a bottle of coconut rum and couldn't keep it down. As they walked her to the wheelchair at the top of the upper deck the guard was run over. Everyone in the er was watching the replay and I remember saying "well, we'll see him here in about five minutes...." Sure enough they wheeled him in a few minutes later.
-
I dont know why you all bother to appeal to Brad. Its obvious that he cant read. That fat load is both stupid and ignorant at the same time. God bless the day his show is vanished.
-
I hate it. Not even 2 4:15 games? I like having a week or two during the season when the day can breathe before the Bills kickoff.
-
Brad Riter the best?
hahahahahahahahaha!
He is a huge part of the garbage that is GR. He's stupid, uninformed and may be the worst pre-post game host ever. Unprofessional and unprepared describes his show perfectly. Never has an angle or opinion that you haven't heard several times before he says it.
The whole station has an amatuer "lets see how this goes" feel to it instead of a professional broadcasting outlet. Pity the people in Buffalo in a city with no other alternative. WNSA wasn't much but it was way better than this audio sludge.

OK sadists here's the final drive:
2:16 remaining
1-10 buf10-Kelly run in middle 8 yards (P.Johnson tackle)
2-2 buf18- (2:00)Kelly 1 yard run in middle (Howard)
3-1 buf19-(1:48)Thomas runs left 22 yards (Walls)
1-10 buf41-(1:20)Kelly pass to Reed 4 yards (Reasons)
2-6 buf45 (1:02)Kelly runs right 9 yards (Reasons)
Buf TO
1-10 ny46 (:48)Kelly pass to McKeller 6 yards (Thompson),play halted at :29 for replay review
2-4 ny40 Thomas runs right 11 yards (Collins)
1-10 ny29 (:09)Kelly spikes ball to stop clock
2-10 ny29 (:08) Norwood 47 yard FG no good wide right
it still hurts
-
Secondary Ed. since you asked. I just loathe sloppy hacks like Riter. He reeks of urine and vomit almost as much as that morning show. Listen to Fan 590 if you want quality.
-
My God, since you couldn't bore everyone with that audio dogcrap you call a show
you decided to post here? Its bad enough you're on the air but you have to spread your layer of grime here?
The guy who does color for the UB games who filled in for you the other night put you to shame. In regards to SportsExtra, being the first time I've seen you you are even more hideous that I imagined.
You are a worthless, lazy, POS hack.
Please go away for good!

FWIW
Fire TD and MM
Spend 1.5 Million and buy out Weis' contract at ND
The only way to fix this mess is to start over. The proof is on the field and in the front office. This has to stop and it has to stop now.

Being a huge Montana fan this idea of Brady as the best I've ever seen started to nag at me at the end of the '03 season. But he is.
His is amazingly accurate, clutch, and does all the little things exceptionally.
His play action and ability to set up the perfect screen throw is unmatched.
Sure he has great coaching but no coach can prepare you to make clutch play after play when the outcome hangs in the balance.
One game with the chips on the table, Brady is the man. Nobody is better when the pressure is on.....certainly not Manning. Oh yeah....he's as tough as they come too.
Even being a Bills fan, this kid is a pleasure to watch and could quite possibly have
5 SB titles before he's done.
-
Brad, You suck beyond comprehention and Schoop is just as bad.....pray for rain and another sports talk station to emerge
-
According to sources at One Bills Drive, J.P. was missing from the afternoon practice.
Same sources also report that Paul Hamilton ate him.
-
Brad is the laziest piece of sh*t ever to talk on GR's airwaves which is saying plenty. My friend insisted on listening to him last night and what I heard was so bad I'm amazed that load still has a show.
He talked over Mularkey's press conference as a segment. Lazy, lazy, lazy.
Hope he does his next remote in a driving rain. That'd be the only time I'd ever listen to that lame excuse for a host.
Brad=RJ

Load, you truly are a "load." You're telling me that smokeshops,law firms, and car dealerships are going to be hurt if people buycott them? You sound as intelligent as the morons who work at GR. The reason why so many people hate the station is because it is filled idiots who have no minds of their own and just regurgitate what they read in the paper or see on ESPN.
Listen to fan590 and see if you cant tell the difference betwen good and bad radio.
I stopped listening to GR long ago for a variety of good reasons. I did, however, hear a promo during a Yankee game where your expert Brad said he'd take Bledsoe over Vick. Case closed. If Entercom ever sells these guys better find a new career because no one in their right mind would hire these losers.
-
If GR every got some serious competition (and no, i dont think WNSA was a good fight) they would be finished. Almost everyone would switch to a station that had entertaining informative hosts that actually took the time to form thier own opinions. GR is an disgrace and all the morons who work their should be ashamed but they're too stupid to know the crap they fling.
Dont listen to GR and dont support their advertisers.
-
Loved the article. GR sucks and everyone knows it. Love how the entire lame staff will pretend to act like sportscasters when football season starts. Jeremy and Brad may be the two lamest excuses for informative hosts ever (ith Schoop and buttdod second).
Want to change GR? Dont listen and dont support their advertisers. Nothing speaks loudr than loss of money. Maybe then the retard PD and the idiotic staff will get the boot.
-
Everyone please relax!
When the NBC deal was anounced ESPN said that Primetime would be moved back to 11:30 and NBC would have some sort of highlight show leading into its 8:30 kickoff.
-
To the guy who likes Brad and his non-sports topics, you've kind of made my point for me. He isnt bright or entertaining enough to make sportstalk interesting for three hours so he has to deviate from it.
Another poster made the best point and its worth repeating: until management at WGR is totally turned over or the business of radio changes drastically or another sportstalk station starts up, then the pathetic state of sportstalk in the city will remain. Howard is just the latest example.
-
It must be management and its a puzzling approach. Howard doesn't have much of a personality and for some reason they insist on playing to his weaknesses. Howard is best (and i'm not a huge fan) when he's using his concise manner in dealing with local and national issues. By making him painfully fill time with non-sports topics and then pair him with a total moron, it makes for awful radio.
I cant help but think that management encourages this type of idiotic talk. Brad Riter is a great example. His show is one the alltime GR train wrecks yet he continues to keep his slot. It takes talent to keep sportstalk interesting when its slow but its done all the time elsewhere (Fan 590 for example)
Sadly, until another sports station comes along to give listeners who like actual sportstalk a forum, we'll be subjected to this garbage for awhile. Best advice: dont listen.
Has anyone heard Smerlas on WGR
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Smerlas is perfect for Simon and Whitey in Diapers. All three are terrible at what they do. When you think GR cant get any worse.........it does. The only thing that would have made that segment more miserable would have been that tool Brad Riter.
