row_33 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 One thing just about everyone agrees on finally "Buffalo sports media 100% truly does suck" question: what do people rely on for sports media outside of watching the game and looking at boxscores/stats if they missed the game?

GunnerBill Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 One thing just about everyone agrees on finally "Buffalo sports media 100% truly does suck" I'm not sure it does. I quite like WGR *ducks for cover* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I don't hate the News or its writers. Like anyone they can be good at times and bad at times. But the style of personal attacks is one I don't appreciate, and it can easily be avoided. And since the News writers don't do such attacks all the time they are capable of such writing.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm still confused why everyone hates the buffalo news. Because they bash a ****ty franchise? It's their job to write about the team. The team blows year in and year out. Because any assclown can bash something. I'm not sure it does. I quite like WGR *ducks for cover* You should listen to sports radio stations in other cities with pro teams. I think you would be shocked at how clueless WGR hosts are. Other stations hire former players and reporters who actually know something about the teams they discuss. WGR hosts are where they are thanks to inertia. They've had their jobs forever and with no real competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Dude, the GM gave an address about leaving the Bills. Of course they reported on it. And it was awful. They pointed out where it was good (he didn't attack the Bills) and where it was absolutely wretched (asked what you learned he said if he had to do it again he would make a plan to bring in a QB, essentially admitting that either he had no plan to bring in a QB when he was hired or he learned absolutely nothing on the job). They were dead on target. Correct. I will agree with those who say that the media does appear to have had a whole lot more venom for him than other chumps who the Bills have let go. To get this kind of reaction, I'm sure it's well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Someone at McD's presser asked him to stop using reporter's names when responding to their questions so they could use the sound bites Edited May 25, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Someone at McD's presser asked him to stop using reporter's names when responding to their questions so they could use the sound bites Gee, I wonder why that is. Any idea who asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Gee, I wonder why that is. Any idea who asked?i couldn't tell but it wasn't jerry Sullivan - he was the one whose name he used and the next guy asked him not to do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think the opinion pieces about Whaley's interview made the journalists who wrote them appear small. As a casual reader, and one who does not routinely read their work, IMO, the pieces came across as if written with personal animus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Your right. They could get a little more creative in their bashing in the ineptitude of the franchise. There is lots of room for improvement. They could actually introduce some football knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billz4life820 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The Buffalo media is way too negative about everything. The media just needs to be a little more balanced in their coverage. The sky is not always falling. so the bills have not been a failure the last 17 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I interned in the sports department of a medium sized city newspaper in college. The old sports reporters were some of the grumpiest, bitter people I'd ever met. Actually steered me in a different direction with my career when I saw how miserable they all looked. This was of course before the days of social media. But they sure hated their jobs. So this is how people become bond company stooges? I always thought a degree in finance........but nope.......washout journalism majors. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You're welcome to attempt to challenge my assertions. With proper coaching, Whaley's roster was ranked as a top 4 unit in points allowed (2014) With proper coaching, Whaley's roster was ranked as a top 10 unit in scoring offense. (2016) I understand Whaley's firing, I'm not saying the Bills were wrong in firing him, but to paint him as the sole reason this team didn't meet playoff expectations is an utter lie.
