  1. Any chance of getting Gabe Northern more often? Or other Bills of the past? The most interesting conversations on sports talk are ones involving past players discussing things we as fans don't normally get to hear. It was really funny hearing Gabe and Ruben talk about the woeful Buffalo QBs after Jim Kelly.

     

    VERY good chance but I can't tell you anything that's "officially" happening. All I know is that the show is growing, Ruben's got some decent contacts, and we've got big plans.

     

    Best interview I've ever heard on a sports station was back in the first year that we turned WGR into a sports station. The NCAA basketball tourney was in town and Doug Young accidentally booked Billy Packer and John Cheney at the same time. Everyone just got out of the way, let them speak to one another, and it was amazing.

  2. Brad,

     

    I've always liked listening to you and am very glad that you are starting up a 2nd sports station in Buffalo. But please explain why Artie booboo blah, blah, blah not saying a gosh darn thing on your show / Ruben's show is news worthy?

     

    I just don't get it.

     

    People like him. People care. Blast from the past. If you don't care, that's OK. I bet others do.

  3. I'm in the process of editing the interview down so that I can post a link to just the Peters portion of the conversation w/ Jim.

     

    Jim is a regular part of the UB pregame show. I usually interview him separate from the radio show but this week it worked out best to have him on as a live guest and, while the focus was on UB, I had to get some Peters stuff in. So, I encourage you to listen to the whole thing but the shortened version will be here shortly.

  4. Thanks PTR and everyone else for checking it out.

     

    I'm tempted to come to TSW and say "you've gotta hear this" about three times a week but I don't want to be accused of too much self-promotion. The thing is, if I found some of this stuff on a DIFFERENT radio show, I'd come here right away to tell people to listen but I hesitate b/c it's my own show.

     

    So, hopefully, some of you will check out the podcasts regularly and keep people informed. I don't want to be anymore annoying than I already am. (It's a work in progress, so bear with me.)

     

    Thanks,

    Brad

  5. The Bills today announced that the team has signed LB Blake Costanzo.

     

    Costanzo originally joined the Bills practice squad on October 24, 2007. He was promoted to the 53-man roster on December 14 and played three games last season.

     

    Costanzo returns to Buffalo following his release on August 30, 2008. A graduate of Lafayette College, Costanzo originally joined the NFL as an undrafted free agent in May 2006 with the New York Jets.

  6. The Bills have all the power here.Peters has none. He will be 29 when he gets to choose his own team..and he won't have played any football or made a dime.

    Why is he afraid of showing up? ...we all hate to think about the possibility that he is injured.

     

    Those years don't come off the contract while he's sitting out. Not that I think it'll come to that, but he's not getting any closer to the end of the contract until he's back with the team.

  7. Stenbar is a solid poster. Thanks for backing him up Brad.

     

    No problem. You could call it "sticking up for Stenbar" or you could call it "not letting WGR get credit for my interview." Either way is fine.

     

    The audio is now up, btw. (www.buffalomainevent.com)

     

    And no, I'm not on WGR. I'm on WECK-AM 1230 and WLVL-AM 1340 6-9PM M-F. The show also streams at my site.

  8. My dad is blind so he doesnt watch tv..I am 40 with 4 kids and a job..I was working and he called me to see if I had heard that...I was wondering if anyone else had heard it..

     

    It was on my show. I'll have the audio link up shortly at www.buffalomainevent.com.

  9. They're out (as in "printed"... no word on their public availability.) I have one in front of me right now. There are 2 different versions... one with offensive players on the cover and one with defensive players on the cover. They are identical other than that.

  10. Time to dig up the running Riter thread, I suppose ...

     

    Tonight, before beginning an in-depth discussion of the Chinese government's "weather modification" efforts, he announced that Steve Christie will join play-by-play man Paul Peck on the UB football broadcasts. Wonder how that's going to mesh with Peck's Bills Radio Network sideline duties, or if someone else will be taking over that job instead?

     

    From what I understand, Paul Peck's Bills stuff is not effected in any way. The Bills people and the radio people all supported his decision to take on the additional role. I'll know more tomorrow but I'm 99% sure that everything else has stayed the same for Paul.

     

    We're all excited about the UB broadcast team, from both an on-air and a technical, behind-the-scenes standpoint. There's really only one position left to fill and there are a few candidates, all of whom are more than qualified.

  11. One question...are you hot? Because if you are, that could be why he was incredibly nice to you.

     

    Bruschi sounded a lot like Flutie to me in that "article." I'm not saying I buy what the writer is selling but it's very plausible that Tedy is one of those guys who makes nice at the black tie affair and then MF's the same guy who writes about what a good guy he is. I've seen it before.
