sabres...yawn Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Schopp and the Lapdog are awful! But so is Brad Riter. Actually, Sullivan is the only media figure around here with any balls. I'm glad he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBaroo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 yes, he also has guests Mike Catalana(13Whamtv in Rochester, Leo Roth and Sal Moirano from the D&C contribute as well I actually miss WGR and schope and bulldog - I can't get it anymore - Ditullio Rochester show is hard to take - all ditullio says is everything is great! Schope had many more interesting and intelligent things to say - if you could take the negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsfan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Finally an alternative to the worst sports radio show ever. Someone is going to have to explain how the hell did these 2 idiots win an award for excellence in sports reporting. Maybe we can take uo another billboard collection to get these 2 removed from the airwaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hardly wait for the Groundhog Draft or Valentine's Day Draft Thank you XM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

I don't listen to his show much - I hope its better than his column in Rochester paper. All he does is quote statistics and get the picks wrong every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDRupp Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 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. I have seen the whole Buddy Nix and Chan press conference at BB.com and I have heard others referring to "his shot at Sullivan" but which shot was it? Anybosy know? If so, PLEASE share. I have got to know! Thanks! Go BillS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew026 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 the people associated with the afternoon show are miserable human beings who have miserable lives. the morning show with howard simon and co. should replace them in that time slot.

Yes. They are forced to care about sports and talk about sports for a grueling 4 hours a day. It's inhumane. PTR 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. You don't have to hear every schmuck's opinion on said subject (and in Schoop's case, then you don't have to hear him belittle said schmuck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYGD1 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I listen to WGR in AM WITH Howard Simon other then that its a Complete waste Colin Howert, Jim Rome and Then Schoop and Bulldog, I do not know how WGR stays on the AIR these guys all SUCK except for Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
