Yeah I kind of agree. I also just think a lot of these Buffalo sports guys (at least the WGR guys) are kinda amateurs. Jeremy and Joe are kinda representative of the "Barstoolification" of sports media. I don't care about your golf game or your upside down hats or whatever the *****. Jeremy I liked as the younger-slightly "hipper" (but not really, Howard was way cooler imo) half of the Howard and Jeremy show. But he doesn't really carry the show on his own. And while I agree that the Bills should care more about the WR position than they do, the whole "WR train" brand he's created is kinda corny as *****. And Joe? I honestly don't get what he's good for. The only truly positive thing I'll say about him as he has the rhythm of the radio down pat. Like he sounds professional. But he also sounds like he's 17. And when I listen to him, I feel like he doesn't really add anything. Like all the rest of the main WGR guys I usually know where their point of view and personality comes through. I know many seem to not like Nate Geary but at least he has opinions. Joe is boring, sounds like he's 12, and did I mention he's boring. The job just seems too big for him. I personally think Schopp and the Bulldog are fun even if Schopp clearly has a sickness with the fantasy football (I'm not joking....does he really have hundreds of teams?) and Bulldog doesn't actually seem to do much more than just show up. Schopp does get impatient with callers, but at the same time, many are idiots who doesn't know what they are talking about. However, he also can be a bit of an ####### even to those who are bringing up an interesting thought. Sal Cappacio might be the worst though. Even after the Beane thing today, with Schopp and Bulldog definitely leading the direction of Beane being ridiculous about the whole thing, Sal of course has to tow the Bills company line saying something like "how could they bring in another WR, where would he even play?" and the whole thing. He's a total company man for the Bills which is insane, cuz isn't the company he works WGR? Not the Buffalo Bills. As I've seen others say, he just seems to LOVE his cozy relationship with the team. And to an extent, I get it. We are all Bills fans, so are those guys. But the other WGR guys at least have the guts to say things could be better. Sal just loves that access so much he just can't do it for the most part. Perhaps as a kid it just seemed like way more mature and cool, but listening to WGR it seemed like adults discussing sports. It was a bit much but it still seemed like adults. Art Wander and whoever. A lot of these guys just don't seem like serious people. And I get it, it's just sports talk, but still. Lastly, am I surprised Jeremy folded under pressure? Nah. I probably would too. But I wish he had held his own and truly went to bat against Beane, at least bringing the need to bring in Amari Cooper due to the Bills offense being stopped dead in it's tracks twice thru five games. But I get that. Beane showed up and he wilted. It is what it is.

JJ Watt to call games with Ian Eagle next season as CBS #2 broadcast team
Jim replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah both were bad choices due to their inability to leave politics behind on a sports program. I liked Deirdorf but that mighta just been because I was a kid and he was there with Al and Frank. -

Not political at all. Just because you brought up Dennis Miller and Rush Limbaugh. Hmm. -
Devin White Released by Eagles. Should we take a flyer?
Jim replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall
That was actually Shaq Barrett that happened to. Just absolutely heartbreaking. Horrible. -
NFL 2024 Kickoff: Ravens @ Chiefs, Sept 5 - 8:20pm
Jim replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
His offseason injury had dick to do with not getting him involved with the offense after we traded for him, in the '22 season, which is my original point. -

Jim replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree Moss sucked here. I'm just saying we traded for the guy (Hines) who the poster said maybe sucks. Hines sucking has to be on somebody, and I think it's fair to put that on the guy who thought it important to bring him in midseason. -

Jim replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually I said that I was not comparing players but you missed that I guess. I was comparing the fact that both were traded midseason (in the same season I think) and San Fran was able to incorporate their guy early and often, whereas the Bills traded for their guy, and he was non-existent on their offense. Also, if Hines sucked? Is that my fault, or is it.....Brandon Beane's fault for trading Zack Moss (who's ended up looking pretty decent outside of Buffalo) for Nyheim Hines, who you say sucks. Why would the Big Baller do such a thing?? -

Jim replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
You can already see it coming. For some reason when we got Hines, it was just too complicated to get him involved. But McCaffrey goes to San Fran and immediately made an impact. Not comparing players of course, but it's just funny that Buffalo seems to always need tons of time to get our guys "just right." -

Jim replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was waiting for this. Hows about we wait a full season before we crown him a success story. He had a small handful of good games in his first two seasons. He seems to be trending upward. However, did anybody really think there was much chance of him being our number 1 receiver after last season? Sure, now with rose colored glasses everybody (including me) is hoping he will be, but c'mon. -

Let's be honest. If Keon was really the guy we "wanted" we woulda taken him at 28. Beane doesn't know how to pick receivers. -
Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)
Jim replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
And the Chiefs third is basically a 4th isn't it? Cuz it's the last *****in' pick of the third round? More genius from BBB. -

You mean landfill right? Cuz apparently most of the end of this draft is filled with garbage. But at least we gots tons of picks!! -
I think it’s fair to assume Kincaid will ascend. With Shakir, who knows? He came on late, but Robert Foster (or was it Forster, the guy from Jackie Brown) was exciting for a minute as well and he ended up being an absolute nobody. Diggs, I think people are just being too hopeful. Dude fell the f uck off at the end of ‘22 and ‘23. Claims to be “him” yet when he had the chance to show us in the post season it slipped thru his hands. Maybe at one point he was THE difference maker, but I don’t see any more Minneapolis Miracles coming from him anytime soon.

This is almost exactly what I was thinking during the Gabe Davis discussion l.
