jscap Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I like many can't tolerate the afternoon show on 550. Brad Riter has a show on 1230 at the same time and honestly it is like a breath of fresh air. He has guests and actually talks sports not about movies or music or playing silly games. I listen to Simon in the morning and thats not a bad show but Dope and the Bulldog is intolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 no Schopp and no Gleason/Sullivan is a good thing. A very good thing. Trust me - you ignore these clowns, and you miss absolutely nothing in the way of sports news or intelligent sports analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills28 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 These guys are so pessimistic. They get so upset at the Bills for stupid media reasons. All as they kept talking about today was the fact that Buddy Nix said 80% of the stuff reported was false. They were so caught up on that because they felt it was a shot at the media...well good! I hope it was! The media is getting worse by the day. Who in there right mind would expect a franchise of any sort to come out and list guys that were interviewed for a job when they just hired a new coach? They attack the Bills like they are the only team doing this. If I'm a CEO of a company, and I'm announcing my new hire for a high ranking position, am I going to stand before the company employees and talk about who I interviewed???? It just doesn't happen. WGR550 was once my favorite station but I find myself turning it off more and more lately because they are just taking things too personal and being way too pessimistic. Howard and the morning crew are ok in my book but even they have been getting on my nerves lately. Schopp and the Bulldog are just a terrible combination and need to go!!!!

PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Riter's show is 10X better than anything on WGR. Good guests and he lets them talk. Ruben Brown offers some great insight. The reporters other than Jerry Sullivan from the Buff News are also pretty fair and balanced. Also enjoy the UB coaches shows. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copernicus137 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Excellent! A much needed change of pace. Being a cynical sports commentator in the city of Buffalo is not only void of any creativity, it is also an incredibly lazy alternative to what was fomally referred to as "journalism". Unfortuantly, it seems to pay the bills for WGR. I'm not sure how Nix will pan out as GM, but cracking on Sullivan at the press conference was great to see.

Schopp is constantly condescending to folks that call the show and seems to enjoy being an a$$. Bulldog's not as offensive as Schopp, but they both ridiculously criticized the Bills when the beat the Dolphins for "running up the score." I can also do without all of the actor draft and other crap they put on (that is not sports) to fill time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 do they stream on line for those of us not near Buffalo?? do they do actor drafts?? If you're one of the people on here, who seem to be the majority, who wants non stop sports analysis, then you're going to be disappointed in Brad's show. He talks about a lot of other things besides sports, and I don't think he'd be opposed to an actor draft........I love Brad's show, but also like S&B most of the time, too. I actually turn it, though, to Brad, if they are going on about a Bills or Sabres subject. There's only so many ways you can something in that regard.

sabres...yawn Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Btw, the best sports show is Shredd and Regan. And it's not even close. Last year- from the Super Bowl- Shredd and Regan had interview after interview with Hall of Famers....players.... coaches.... celebs....while Schopp and the Bulldog talked about their wallets and their toenails all the while decrying the banality of Super Bowl radio row. Too good for radio row? Too boring for the radio pioneers, Schopp and the Lapdog? Thanks Shredd and Regan- hope you do it again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasmo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 you can listen to John DiTullio's show at whtk.com Not as big a fan of Jonh DiTullio as I am of another host, Bob Matthews on WHAM 1180 or WHAM1180.com from 6-8 week nights. Bob has been on since before these other guys were born. Not stupidly negative, just fair. Actually takes callers and lets them speak until they are done. Love Bob. On a side note Bob is on right now and is talking on the subject of giving Nix and Gailey the benefit of the doubt and support. Pretty cool. He also stated that this next year will probably be another miss in the playoffs given the stages the Jets, Miami, and the Pats are at right now with players and consistency. Hopes the Bills can get off the injury reserve train... Anyways its good old fashioned discussion for the sake of discussion, not just to be right or some kind of guru.

Assquatch Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 "Mensa" Mike Schopp was running his mouth today about how impressive it was that Wegmans had never had a layoff. (paraphrasing): "What? Are they so good at interviewing, they've never hired someone they had to can because they stole something?" The genius bulldog had to immediately bail him out and explain the difference between firings and lay offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Probably the biggest difference between Brad and S&B is that he rarely takes calls from listeners........But, he'll definitely talk a wide variety of subjects, so if you are looking for straight sports (which I am not), then this is not your show, either.................The fact that he doesn't take calls makes his sports talk way better.

I don't think many people are calling! I've called and have gotten on in minutes. WECK doesn't have the listeners that WGR does. The signal isn't great, especially at night. And WECK is a shoestring operation. They can't afford a lot of advertising. Brad probably gets more listeners online than over the air.
