fridge Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I only tune in when something major happens just to hear people chat about the Bills/Sabres. I have nothing but pity for you if you're actually spending serious hours listening to these guys. If you listen on your commute maybe learn how to stream a podcast or something?

steven50 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I really don't care for Schopp and the Bulldog, the only position in football they ever talk about is QB. I cant see the whole field during a game, I don't need endless recaps of what I saw on TV. I want to know if receivers are open that I don't see and what linemen are blowing assignments etc. They were also the pied pipers and lead cheerleaders of the great tank in hockey. I don't think it takes 5 yrs of unwatchable hockey to finish in last place again, so ya I thought all that tank crap was stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often he frames his conversations in a way that tries to give him credibility or "experience drops." Last time I heard him and couldn't change the channel, I think on a gamer day, he said "I walked out the tunnel this morning and it was a beautiful day for football." Not simply "Hey, it's a great day for football" but interjecting himself into it. All the time. Don't care about his kid. And every time he's on with other WGR people, he cuts them off. Annoying as hell. Knowledgeable, but in a horrible package. After that it's Jeremy White, who takes all his cues and knowledge from pop cultural and social media, has no original thoughts of his own, just a regurgitator of collective approved ideas. Agree completely. Sal is a grade a douche bag. Whenever he starts talking about what he used to do in HS, or coaching HS and how he coached his players all I can think is "will this never was shut the !@#$ up". I respect people's opinions for the most part, but when you start using your High School experience as a basis for what you're saying or use it to show you're more credible in what you're talking about, you lose me. High School sports suck, especially in WNY. 5 minutes ago, steven50 said: I really don't care for Schopp and the Bulldog, the only position in football they ever talk about is QB.

Bulldog hated the tank, and was trying to shoot down talking about it like 2 weeks ago or so. I'm not his biggest fan, I think he's a stammering moron, but do you even listen?

He's the worst Bills commentator because you don't agree with him politically. Jeremy's not bad at all, and you can tell he's also a fan without being a blatant homer. I don't even listen to this Schopp/Schoop guy but John Murphy is PAINFUL to listen to. Just terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flomoe Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I’m out of town so I can’t really opine about anything other than WGR since I have the app to listen to it. Schopp isn’t that bad. He can be snarky and his defense of Tyrod was way too over the top but he’s tolerable. Jeremy White, imo, doesn’t know enough about football to be taken seriously. He’s a hockey guy and he should stick to that. Some of his opinions and comments about the Bills sound like some of the National guys who follow the team once in a while, very uninformed.

They kept saying that soccer is the most popular youth sport in Roc....while totally ignoring that no one in Roc wants to pay to watch pro soccer. Their takes are predictable dead horses.

I'm not his biggest fan, I think he's a stammering moron, but do you even listen? I really don't care what he was saying two weeks ago. I listened when the great tank was going on and he was going right along with schoop. I also remember one episode when he was talking about how he was explaining it to his kid, How losing on purpose is a good thing. I am a LL coach and I am sorry but that is not the lesson I want kids to learn. Sports should be about being competitive not about rolling over. Your view may be different and your welcome to it. In hindsight they all say sing a different tune then they did in 2013 and 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) From my ears way out west here, it’s Donald Jones. You guys don’t like Schopp and Bulldogg but I don’t mind either. On second thought, I’ve heard Craig Rivet attempt to talk football so I’m going with him. ~ Pac-12 Guru Edited March 14, 2018 by Jay_Fixit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) The worst thing imo about the main WGR hosts, is it doesn't seem like any of them ever played organized sports or were ever in a locker room. They talk down to people who have been there and act like they know more about the game from reading then people who played it their whole lives at high levels. Nothing substitutes for experience. They think they know but they don't. Things like culture and momentum do exist. So does being in the zone which can be scientifically proven. The thing about being in the zone you could never know what that is from reading. You would have to be in it to understand and you can't get in the zone unless you are actually good. The arrogance from guys like Schopp and White when it comes to these issues is off putting. Edited March 14, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
