bbb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I still don't know what it is. It's a lot like a country draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm really glad you people don't run a radio station.........Today was a big day to talk about sports? I'm as interested in getting a left tackle as the the next guy. But, once you say Yeah, let's get him, what else is left to talk about? Announcers...

Commander Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The announcer draft is on WGR on a day where stories are out about the Bills getting a left tackle and I was covering rookie camp all day. I'm not here to talk crap, but you should tune to Hometown WECK 1230 AM (streaming at www.weck1230.com) Special occasion, Brad's going to take calls... about FOOTBALL (716.783.9325) Nick Nick, I live in Virginia Beach and have to listen over the internet. No offense, but how are we supposed to tell you are going to be on based on your "Programming" web page? I don't see you listed there anywhere. I would much rather listen to Bills talk than some of the drivel on WGR, but throw me a bone here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 What is an announcer draft? It's a lot like a country draft. Well, that explains it. The country draft was just like the actor draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll answer for Nick because I think I know the deal - he'll be on at nights throughout the Yankee season when the Yankees aren't playing a night game (ie when they are off or have a day game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Announcers... It beats 4 hours of people calling in with their opinion of how to get the left tackle. I want to hear a few opinions of the guys I know (those on the radio). I don't need mind numbing calls from everybody who has a great idea of how to swing this trade..........For the record, I listened mostly to Brad, as usual, but did listen to a segment of the announcer draft, and I liked it........It's basically about opinions and rankings and I like that stuff. I love doing top ten lists and such........Announcers are a pretty good topic, too, since there are so many opinions about who is good, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 It beats 4 hours of people calling in with their opinion of how to get the left tackle. Funny, IMO the best sports talk radio in Buffalo history (One-on-One Sports) had this quaint philosophy that the callers were the reason for the show, not the hosts. I guess that page got ripped out of the 'format consultant's' playbook a few years back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndZoneCrew Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well, that explains it. ok...it's like a douchebag draft......and the #1 overall pick is Michael Schopp out of Grand Island High Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that page got ripped out of the 'format consultant's' playbook a few years back... If that type of show got a big audience, they'd be doing it now........I'm as big a sports fan and a bigger sports talk listener than pretty much anybody I know, and I barely ever listened to that.........But, I wouldn't miss it on Monday nights after a Bills game when it was Monday Night Quarterback with John Murphy and Larry Felser. Now that was great Bills talk. It also helped that they were usually talking about wins and important games, unlike in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 PS And, actually I would have to say it's not the callers or the hosts that are the reason for the show, but the listeners. And, as a listener, I really don't care what Joe from Cheektowaga thinks because I don't know who Joe is. IIRC, the reason MNQ worked was because the callers were asking Larry and Murph questions, not so much giving their opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike In Illinois Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 As soon as I delved into what other "drafts" that can be broadcast I thought of Chappelle's Show: Racial Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather listen to Bills talk than some of the drivel on WGR, but throw me a bone here! No offense taken by any of us. I've only been at WECK for two weeks, and we're redesigning our web page. It's a much-needed overhaul. Thanks for your patience. BY the way, with the Yanks playing nights, my schedule is nutty next week.

grelit Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I think this is stuff that they should do on their own time and maybe not over the air for everyone to hear, especially at drive time. Unreal. These 2 guys are really getting stale.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 That station needs 1. A new program director 2. New morning and afternoon hosts 3. A football reporter Then it might be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know how the continue with their show, They have always had an AXE to grind against the Bills, I think Schoop likes to think he is above the rest of us.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 WGR is always unlistenable between the end of the Sabres season and the beginning of Bills traning camp. Other times it's debatable I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I take issue with #2. Howard Simon is quite good. If you say so. I regard him as a jackass who never played sports and certainly knows nothing about football. I listen to be be better informed about sports; it's supposed to be a sports station, not a gossip show telling us what his little kid or dog did yesterday.
