Being a Buffalo fan is being in a constant state of anger and fear. Even when things are going well, we can't stop bringing up past failures. We can't enjoy anything. Why in Gods green earth do you still listen to it then? You have a choice, dont load the GR app on your phone. You kill me with "its only negativity in Buffalo" and yet always react negatively to everything Buffalo and Buffalo fans. You do not practice what you preach young man!

May Day 10 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 People always bag on various figures in the Buffalo sports media because they are too 'negative'. What do you expect? Just graze the history of the Bills. Had a blip in the late 80s and early-mid 90s... but other than that, one of the worst NFL franchises historically. To add to the Bills' struggles of 17+ seasons, The Sabres possess the 2nd longest drought in the NHL, and are embroiled in what is by far the worst era of the franchise. Trust me. These guys want these teams to do well. They are tired of the same cycle, same talking points, same callers, same results. Its groundhog day and it has to be very tough to create content and make it interesting with the state of things. The program directors, at least for the afternoon show force them to focus on Bills and Sabres only. That's tough. Schopp's main base of knowledge are baseball, tennis, and he loves analytical stuff, especially when it comes to odds-making. And, to be honest, they arent really that negative, and WGR in particular has definitely softened the tone since they became the Bills' broadcast home.

plenzmd1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 May Day, you have it all wrong! Its Bills fans( who seel out the joint consistently) and Buffalo media who have caused a 17 year run of futility in the football team and 14 out of 17-year mess on the hockey team. The teams have made nothing but the absolute right decisions, and the stinky fans in Buffalo and the stinky media are just overly negative with 6 playoff teams in the last 34 years. We just have never learned to patient!!! Do I have that right PTR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a resolution years ago to stop getting bent out of shape over them. I still love watching games and going to New Era (and Key Bank) but if the game goes sideways I just let it roll off my back. The playoff droughts for both teams are the easy justification for the vitriol. I will bet you the day the droughts end little if anything will change. There will just be new goal posts.

I don't buy that argument the only way to keep up with the team is with GR. I mean we just had a what 30 page thread debating why pay for the BN when there are so many other outlets today available covering the team. I think, I should say know, you listen cause you enjoy the shows. You and everyone else would not listen otherwise. As an example, you don't see a lot of people bitching about Murphs show, cause no one listens, no one cares what he says, and the show is boring as hell. And I don't mean to get cranky, but I can guarantee if someone criticizes the team or a player etc, your immediate reaction is to say "typical buffalo, all they can do is B word".Sometimes they deserve praise, but a ton of ton they deserve criticism for the way the play and the decisions they make. To play it any other way on the radio would be disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 17 hours ago, Fadingpain said: The relatively high IQ of the show is provided by Mike Schopp and his general approach to the show. On days when he is off and it's just Bulldog, I usually don't listen. It's not just a lack of wit on the part of Bulldog; he is just a nice guy by nature who doesn't enjoy confrontation so he rarely disagreed with Schopp. Schopp definitely treats some callers poorly, but in his defense many of their callers are complete idiots and in general, that aspect of the show doesn't bother me. When they try to be funny or dedicate time to non-sports content, like holding the meat draft, I find the show unlistenable. Neither is funny or clever enough to sustain an entertaining banter when they try to go off topic. I've listened to this type of talk radio in a bunch of markets; I think it's pretty average for that sort of thing. Overall I listen b/c it keeps me connected to WNY. Yes, of course bashing these guys is a routine thing here; I think that was precisely the OP's point...to make it a dedicated thread that keeps expanding over time without having to create new ones from time to time. Not only is an X and O type show not listenable, it appeals to a very small group of people. Ironically, this is the crux of much criticism thrown at Schopp & Bulldog. If they actually did that type of a show and had the football IQ to do it, all of the Sabres/hockey people in the audience would be gone, any neutral casual listener would be gone, and even most Bills/football fans would be gone, other than maybe 100 or so people who are so into the topic, they live on a football chat forum 24/7. The radio station is not trying to appeal to those 100 individuals. They are trying to reach a large audience. I can't recall the last time he said something like that; he hasn't really dwelled on the Cleveland Browns in many months. I'm guessing you don't regularly listen to the show. wait...you think schopp is high-iq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I stopped listening to them altogether about 10 years ago partially because I moved to Chicago and partially because it seemed they would never really talk about sports. They did entire segments on tennis lessons, maple syrup, game shows and I kid you not some guy in Amherst’s dred locks. I would start listening thinking the mindless chatter was leading to a segment topic related to sports and then I would relize this was the topic. I actually didn’t mind it if they did talk Bills or Sabres regardless of their opinions but it seemed like it was not enough for a station that billed itself “all sports all the time”.

That's kind of funny, as he is paid to speak for a living in a purely audio medium. The other weird habit of his is to deliver a particularly long passage, and forget to breathe while speaking, such that he is literally out of breath by the end of his sentence and struggling to speak b/c he doesn't have enough air left in his lungs to produce words at normal volume without fluttering. That one is really annoying too, as it cause me to feel out of breath myself! All of this is very apparent. But his voice. Oh my, his voice! Truly ear splitting; a voice for print journalism.

That's why I think Sal Capaccio and Mike were a better fit. Sal would respectfully disagree with Mike and they'd go back and forth. Of course when Sal makes a good point Mike can't counter he just says "OK.....OK" and moves onto another subject. LOL You never really hear any memorable debates or exchanges between Schoop or Bulldogs. It's just Mike spouting off and the Bulldog backing him up. I don't agree with Mike and thing he comes off as smug sometimes but he's great for talk radio. Bulldog - not so much Schoop calls it like he sees it and comes off like a jerk but I can respect him as a talk show host. Bulldog on the other is brutal to listen to and won't stand up to Mike. Mike can come off as a jerk sometimes. That’s fair. But the callers are what’s really awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the DC area, I don't think any are better than S&B. Riggo is the best here but he only has an occasional spot. I do agree that S&B should plan more topics where they are at each other. I connect with their silly humor. Mike Bell is the best thing on Atlanta sports radio. He is better than anyone on WGR except Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
