ndirish1978 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This guy could stop an interview in it's tracks like no other, but Murphy is awful so it won't mean I'm listening any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So apparently no one here can grasp the concept of a "company show" where you get some perspective from people aligned with OBD. This is right up there with the people who complain that Chris Brown's take is too pro-management - as if they are confused by who he works for. These guys are useful b/c while they have to keep things controlled and occasionally close-to-the-company-line, they are the easiest way for us to find out what the company line is!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I had last summer off work and would flip on the JM Show on MSG for background noise while doing stuff around the house. Thought DJ got better with experience and it was interesting to hear things from a recent players perspective. He shared some fun stories about some of the guys he played with here. But yeah, commuting back and forth from Jersey every weekend sounds like a grind. Especially during winter. Sal C would be a great co-host if he doesn't already have enough on his plate. Have him and Murph with former players stepping in as a third host every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Kevi Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Put Eric on. Would make me pay attention to it, and I don't now. Or somebody beloved (like freddy or kyle when he retires), not a mediocre receiver who was only here for 2 sips of coffee. I have no interest in Jones, they might as well have had Gibran Hamdan on. Look at Sabres, Biron has made their stuff watchable again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Jones gave some decent insight on the game of football. I remember after the Carolina game this year where zay dropped the catch at the end, he gave a great breakdown of that play and why it wasn't necessarily tyrods fault (Tyrod was taking almost all the blame) Having said that, he's not the greatest talker, and sometimes I feel like Murph hates his life working next to him. I definitely like(d) the idea of having him with Murph. Gave us a younger voice and an ex player which was kinda cool at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't bother me as much as others on this board. I do wonder about Murphy and how long he will do the show. He is 63...while not 'old', 5 days a week of the show and the prep he does during the season is a lot for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too old school to be left alone as the sole voice of a show. That show needs a voice from a person with a younger on the ground perspective. so when Murph can’t understand why 20 year olds like to celebrate after Touchdowns a former player who is still youthful can give that view point. And with other subjects as well. murph has lost touch of the modern day athlete and speaks from a perspective from a past era. Its good counter balance programming for a sports show.

Best Player Available Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 One would think a couple of TBD posters would be an excellent replacement. They are certainly dialed in and have sources.
