Kevin Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Gotta be front office personnel. You'd think there would be some form of breaking news on the tickers of both espn and nfln. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Has to be a front office hire or marketing/former athlete angle. Would be odd for him to upstage Nix on personnel announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) John Murphy joins the Bills as a Full Time Employee is my guess. Lots of teams have their Play-By-Play person as an FTE and Murph's TV obligations are gone. Edited June 12, 2012 by JoeF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Has to be a front office hire or marketing/former athlete angle. Would be odd for him to upstage Nix on personnel announcements. Maybe he wasn't upstaging Nix. Maybe he was just excited and setting up the presser. Doesn't mean Nix won't be running it at 430. With that being said, I Think it's along the lines of a former player angle. Someone taking a job as an assistant Or consultant or something like that. Damn. I wanna know. Let's go 430. Oh wait, maybe it's a new technical guy for pressers and it's delayed another hour. Let's go 530. Woohoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Do they normally have pressers for front office personnel, below the GM level? I'm thinking it's got to be Drew Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm not getting my hopes up, but I doubt it's a front office person. Why would WGR550 carry a press conference for John Murphy and/or a front office staff person? It just doesn't make sense. When I hear "talent" from a front office person, I think "player". I don't think Brandon would refer to a co-worker as "talent". I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z i think the telling thing would be using the term org vs team. its almost 100% assured front office and not a player. in that case, its not surprising theres not a ticker. to put it in perspective - think of how often all the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL offices change scouts, marketing people asst coaches etc...

I could be wrong though. because the nfl is a league people tune into even for tedious updates and this will be the best chance to sucker those nfl fans into a super exciting offseason press conference. as to the term talent - a talented coach, a talented evaluator, etc... could all be descriptions. i really think the telling word is Organization, and not team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryCoke Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) im guessing its about john murphy Probably adding a new local show on WGR....maybe 7pm-9? They announced the new Sabres/NHL show yesterday (10am-12)...so it makes sense that they would also do a Bills/NFL show If it was anything to do with player additions they would tell people to go to buffalobills.com...not WGR Edited June 12, 2012 by CherryCoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoretalk Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 My guess is the John Murphy news, which was just reported on by the BUFFALO NEWS. He is leaving Channel 4 to work for the Bills and apparently have an ongoing Bill's oriented show daily from 7-9. Too bad they couldn't have him take over the afternoon drive time slot and actually talk sports from a knowledge standpoint. Murph's a quality sports guy and from everything that I have read and heard Channel 4 is not that interested in devoting their time and money into Van Miller's legacy.
