    Wonder how he got the job, and if his references were just 'People of WNY and surrounding areas'

    Everyone one they turned and asked "So if he gets this job he will leave being a "journalist" and the radio? He is a great guy and would be a huge assett to your company doing whatever it is you do...."

     

    Its a PR position for a hospital and whether you agree with his opinion, he knows how to write and has worked in the media field for 30 years.  Its not exactly the most surprising career pivot

    I didn't care for them as writers but I thought he and Sully made good radio. They were funny, they got much better guests than WGR, and they never did food drafts.

     

    Now they still reverted to form once in a while being negatives tools but the good outweighed the bad.

     

    I wonder if they will try to pair Sully with someone? Speaking of, he just started a column in the Niagara Gazette.

     

    Good question.... I don’t know about a cohost for Sully.  Maybe if the workload gets too tough for him.  I know that 1270 AM probably pays very little, so I don’t know who they could bring in.  There is someone names Jonah Bronstein who I believe is a freelance writer for the Buffalo News and also helps out with the Tim Graham Show.  I could see him join the show to help out Sully

    Risk, benefit. Since you're talking "glass half full" thinking. He had a history of injuries. They hoped he would work out with a 4th round pick. Disappointing, sure. Yes, I'm with you.  A "huge" disappointment with the amount invested and injury history, no.  Which is what I said....Not exactly a huge disappointment.  

     

    I think your completely wrong

    4th round pick, with a history of injuries, and helped win them a super bowl. Not exactly a huge disappointment. 

     

    That kind of “glass half full” thinking is really nice. 

     

    The counter argument is that he only played 14 games in the NFL, and that the team (and fan base) had pretty big expectations for him which really never materialized because of injury.  I would certainly classify a 14 game NFL as “disappointing.”

    Help them win a Super Bowl? Seriously? 

     

    Exactly.... 

  5. Can’t believe that one one caught this a few days ago.  I check my podcast feed and notice that what used to be “The Bucky and Sully Show,” is now listed as “The Jerry Sullivan Show.”  Interesting.

     

    So I checked Twitter and came across this: 

     

    I also listened to the last episode of The Bucky and Sully Show.  First the audio quality was terrible.  I think it was a remote connection but it sounded like they had cheap headsets and a bad connection.  It sucked.

     

    Anyway, Bucky quietly announced that he was leaving the show.  He said he worked in journalism for 30 years and there were a lot of things he didn’t like about the industry anymore.  He said he is interested in starting a new career with Catholic Health and would be more bummed if he wasn’t so excited for the new opportunity.  

     

    I know many of you didn’t care for Bucky, but he always told it like it was - even when he said things we as Bills fans didn’t want to hear.  

     

    Id like to congratulate Bucky and wish him the best in his new career. 

     

    And by the way...Jerry Sullivan is back.  The BN can’t dixtate when he retires!  He is with the Niagara Gazette!

    PFF's grading begs the question: what are the qualifications of PFF's staff?  Are they ex-coaches, much less ex-NFL coaches?

     

    And the biggest reason for the struggles of the OL, besides Juan Castillo, are losing Wood and Incognito and replacing them with far inferior players.  Sure having a rookie QB didn't help, but having those guys and a run game would have taken enormous pressure off Josh.

     

    As for the run game, having Brown and Foster outside will prevent CB's and S's from crowding the LOS, allowing more room for the RB's.

     

    I will never understand how some fans take the opinion of the fan bloggers at Cover 1 as legitimate, yes choose to question an outlet like PFF.

    Realistically, if the price is a 3rd rounder like it's rumored to be, I'd bring him in here.  With Allen's play style, I'm worried about him missing games, Rosen would be on a cheap contract, worst case he's strictly the backup for 2 years and we flip him for something else.

     

    No way they get a second round pick.   I think a 3rd is more likely.  That’s terrible value for AZ.

    Lol. What happens when Goff gets hurt and Bortles lights it up? 

    Working with McVay in a very good, innovative offense might actually be a good spot.  I will always hold a grudge against Guff for playing so poorly in the Super Bowl and giving the game to New England

    Tim is shockingly sensitive considering what his job requires of him to the public eye. 

     

    I didn’t even know where Rodak was from, but all of his articles came off like Pats propaganda and the Bills were a waste of his time.  His Bills coverage was never more insightful than what you’d read on a ticker. 

     

    Neither are missed for me. 

     

    Right and Tim is basically says that some of work deliberately was pro-NE to stick it to the Bills fans who gave him such crap

    Seems like Timmah still lurks here.

    At one point he did mention "the message boards" but never refereed to TSW LOL

     

    I would be shocked if Pat Moran wasn't lurking as well

    Listened to a great interview with Tim Graham of The Athletic.  He speaks openly about his departure from the BN, WGR, and of course his current work at the Athletic.  But I feel the most interesting quote was about his friend and co-host Mike Rodak.  Rodak famously gets a ton of backlash from Bills fans.  I never got the Rodak hatred, but many times I thought that this tweets were phrased very poorly, as to take the piss out of Bills fans.  Graham basically confirms that's the case.

     

    I know that very few will listen to the his comments but you can find them at the 35 minute mark.  But here is what Timmy said:

     

    Pat Moran:  "You mention MIke Rodak.  I like that dude.  I feel like Bills fans gave him such a bum rap his first couple years in Buffalo because where he came from, but that kind of has turned now.  

    I sense now fans consider him one of their own." 

     

    Tim Graham:  "Not quite Pat.   I still see and hear about the grief that he gets.  He'll tweet something along the lines of 'Buffalo Bills sign Jordan Phillips to a contract extension.'  Just a tweet.  Just an update.  And within 5 minutes someone will say 'kill yourself,' 'move back,' 'get out of town,' 'please leave."  And he does play the bit of the troll, a little bit, but I think part of it is, and I'm speaking for Mike here and he's been on your podcast, so this isn't anything that I haven't discussed with him over beers but....I get it because it's got to be a bit of a defense mechanism.  Because if you were just to sit there and take it, I think it would be a miserable depressing existence...just to constantly told that you suck, when you know that you're doing good work, which he does.  If it comes time for him to leave at some point, I think the quality of work that he does in terms of breaking down the Bills, the transactions and the data, the position battles and covering the hard stories....like he's all over the LeSean McCoy legal stuff when a lot of others haven't (myself included).  But he's taken the bull by the horns there, and he's done great work.  But if he had just absorbed all the punishment and never gotten to a point where he's got to have a little "FU" in him, then I think that he'd be in a fetal position somewhere."
