Spiderweb Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It was something I looked forward to every week as well, but almost every issue was received after the previewed game was played. Also, I wasn't a fan of Larry Bump but after it changed and he was replaced (by Chris Brown?) , I only got worse and less interesting. The internet was the final blow in it's death.

seq004 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I remember when I used to get it Mike Shopp was a writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We are in a golden age for the dissemination of football information. And no, I don't mean the fact that we instantly know which player got arrested. The interplay of key media advances--the All-22, vine, message boards, and good 'old-fashioned' blogging--means that we can consume the game with a higher degree of technical insight than ever before. We've come a long way since George Michael's Sports Machine, baby. Not only does this mean that a Shout-like magazine would have a hard time adding much value, but it is also making some of the established football journalists (who differentiated themselves based on their ability to get good quotes from players and staff) increasingly less important, at least to me. kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Was a fun read always and enjoyed it very much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I used to love that magazine.... Yep, it was always a treat to find it after school. But I think that ship has sailed due to today's technology. Actually, it makes waiting for Shout! to arrive seem kinda silly by comparison.

WotAGuy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have saved a dozen or more issues from the Super Bowl era - might dig them out and check them out this weekend! Hope they haven't turned to dust..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It was something I looked forward to every week as well, but almost every issue was received after the previewed game was played. Also, I wasn't a fan of Larry Bump but after it changed and he was replaced (by Chris Brown?) , I only got worse and less interesting. The internet was the final blow in it's death. I loved Shout! As a poor graduate student, it was my one luxury I insisted buying, even though it always arrived late! I still loved getting it in the mail and reading it cover to cover... just to see if the "previews" were right and to re-live the win from 2 weeks ago. The internet definitely killed it. I could get the same stories/reports online, quicker, and often for free (as a poor student, that was actually quite important). This message board (technically its predecessor) was huge part of that for me. I still kept my subscription for a couple years, but either they cancelled it or I did (don't really remember). But, for a guy not living in Buffalo and in a pre "all information instantly available all the time" world, Shout! was the best thing ever. I never kept old issues, but now I wish I would have.

ExWNYer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I used to love that magazine.... It's still around. The name was changed years ago to 'Bills Digest'. Chris Brown used to be the editor. Once he stepped down to be the Bills reporter, Mark Ludwiczak took over as editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngunz Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I used to like the Official Word, had better articles and writers than Shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he stepped down to be the Bills reporter, Mark Ludwiczak took over as editor. This thread needs a bump. This is what happens after 14 years of losing, your own fans don't even know that the team fan magazine is still in circulation. Priceless. The technology has moved on is pretty good too. I think that ship actually sailed in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBrad Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The thing I remember, as a former out-of-town Shout subscriber, is that it wouldn't always make it to me before the game. I assume that you can get electronic delivery now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 I know the internet has killed this mag, and that it was always late. I guess it's just a nostalgia thing for me as a kid and young adult looking forward to it during our glory years. Used to love the game pics and would hang them up on my bedroom wall.
