    I said he's the most intelligent person, not the biggest football expert.  Those are two different things.

     

    Also, your list of complaints doesn't relate to his intelligence.  If you're going to argue the point, argue it.

     

    Don't change the topic.

     

    Lastly, the vast majority of his callers are idiots.  Mike does have a habit of letting idiots know they are idiots.  I don't fault him for that, whereas you apparently do.

     

    Now and again Mike gets an intelligent, interesting caller who has something to say or a good point to make.  Mike is always appreciative of such callers and almost always makes it a point to praise them or their point.

     

    He often says things like "Well done," or "That's how you do it" or "Great call" or "This all makes a lot of sense."

     

    If you aren't hearing that it's because you are choosing to ignore it.

     

    Where did I change the topic?  You said he was the most intelligent and I said he wasn't. I don't believe he provides substance in his arguments.... and resorting to child like insults and sarcasm is a direct reflection of that.

     

    I have opinions about certain callers but and I don't have a problem with calling out inaccuracies.  But I don't think its right to call people idiots or make it out as if I think something is interesting, than everyone should accept that.

     

    when an on air personality says "Great Call" or the like, even when they disagree with the point..... shows more than giving praise because it's a shared opinion.

     

    full disclosure, based on aired content, I think Jeremy and Murph come across as the most intelligent.  And I don't agree with either very often. 

     

     

    You show show the same characteristics.  You find certain things interesting and you have an opinion.... and if that isn't shared then everyone else is "choosing to ignore it". When in actuality, these are subjective opinions, not factual disputes.

    Mike is the most intelligent guy at the station.  Jeremy is a total idiot.  Not sure how you lump them together like that.

     

    I finally had a chance to listen to the argument.  Schopp was definitely getting into it; that's the most fired up I've ever heard him I think, particularly with regard to a fellow broadcaster and not a caller.

     

    What started it was Mike's ego and Sal saying his theory was "ridiculous".  That really pissed Mike of and away they went.

     

    I don't necessarily disagree with Schopp's basic premise.


    He's basically saying that the QB competition obviously didn't work as Allen is clearly better than Peterman, and that a "competition" itself is not really necessary to determine who the starting QB should be.

     

    He's then taking it a step further and suggesting that the "competition" is a crutch relied on by coaches to absolve themselves of responsibility in making the QB selection and a tool to bring the team in line behind the decision he makes.

     

    "Hey, he won the competition, he must be the better of the two and therefor he should start."

     

    I agree with the crutch angle; the coaches like to lean on the competition angle so that they have a plausible defense when the QB selected plays poorly, if he plays poorly.

     

    I said all off-season that Allen should have started Game 1; Schopp has always said that too. 

     

     

     

    He is not even close to the most intelligent person on wgr, based solely on broadcasted content.  He is an instigator who doesn't have competition.  He is an elitist who talks down to everyone.  He is a blow hard when he and Chris are on alone, and then cowers during interviews.  He never admits he was wrong and spins his own perspectives to make sure he doesn't have to be humble, and to be negative to all the "lesser" callers.

    Is it time for Kaepernick?

    I wouldn't sign him. If his skill set was something the team wanted, they would have kept Tyrod, or drafted Jackson.  I respect Kaep for making his position as impactful as possible.  I also wouldn't support an organization that employs someone that promotes a blanket negative perception of law enforcement.  Or promotes a brutal dictator like Fidel Castro, while saying he meant just the investment in education portion of his agenda.... imagine some racist a$$hat whereing a David duke shirt saying he only agreed with his pursuit of public service through political office.   

     

     

    Jerry Sullivan Strikes Back With A VENGEANCE, Slams The BN, The Pegulas, and some of the Buffalo fanbase

    In my opinion, the wgr lineup is bipolar.  Ra Ra from 12-3.  Sully 2.0 from 3-7.  The night cap, I have found, to be the most objective.  Although I did like Ryan's show better.  Although the morning show isn't bad.  I would never have a beer with Jeremy and I find his socio-political rants annoying, but his commentary is good.... which was an art Sully couldn't grasp for the past 15 + years.  

     

    And no doubt .... BuffaloRush is, or has a personal tie to Sully.

    Mike Scopp Hacking it Up on National Radio

    I have been out of the area for 12 years and used to listen on the wgr app.  Like others have commented, I just stopped listening between 3 and 7.  Schopp is arrogant, condescending, uninformed and rude.  There are too many options out there to continue to listen to that crap.  I don't agree with J White hardly at all, but I will tune in because they are typically well thought out opinions.  

     

    Also, the Sabres couldn't even be discussed without Bulldog back in the day.  Schopp doesn't have a clue.
