ProcessTheTrust Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Murph is a huge homer, but I wonder....is there any other play-by-play guy doing a show about his team that isn't a homer? Hopefully Tasker can bring at least a shred of objectivity. Either way, they will continue to get the guests we want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I can no longer listen to the show now. Hearing Tasker say anything that ends in “ation” makes me want to punch a baby. And I’ve never heard someone use the term situation more than him in my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This show might as well be called "National Radio live from Gestapo Headquarters in Berlin." Having said that, I like Steve Tasker and getting rid of Jones is an instant upgrade. Steve is God awful at his color analyst job during pre-season, but he is actually much better spoken/more interesting in a more relaxed atmosphere. I think he will be a lot more interesting in this type of venue. If he contributes "real world" takes from the perspective of an ex-high end player and tons of stories about the old days with the Bills in the way Rob Ray does about hockey and the Sabres for WGR-550, this show could actually be worth listening to. I may give it a try for a few days to see what is up. I had previously boycotted the old Murphy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the most objective but they get decent guests and provide the news of the day, it's worth a 15-20 minute listen if I'm in the car at lunch time. Listening to all 3 hours would be painful.

T-Bomb Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Oh GAWD, that will be a terrible show to listen to. Just need to add Sal C. and make it the ultimate homer show. I'll stick the Schopp & Bulldog, thx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven233 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I listen on occasion because I can't get enough Bills talk, but this show should probably be called "The Company Line." So generic and their opinions very rarely are anything to talk about because they have to spin the company view and outlook. Can't really say anything controversial at all on that show.

YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) I don’t listen much unless there is some big news going on since it moved to noon, and if I’m not in high level business meetings I have a local show I listen to at that time. But I will stream some interviews on demand now and then. Every market has a show like this, don’t see any issue with it. It’s one of 4 local radio shows they have for the market, there is plenty of negativity to go around on the other 3. I don’t get the “homer” complaints. It’s pretty clear what the show is and isn’t. The rest of the day is filled with the other type of show. i can’t stand listening to tasker talk though. I do think he will add more insight as a former player and about the team than Jones. When i have listened, jones didn’t seem to care about the Bills much and said he was a Giants fan. He never came across as anything than an extra guy. He seemed like he never wanted to be there.

I agree. Hes been out of the game, the film room and the locker room for 2 decades. The most interesting thing the show can bring is relevant player perspective... Jones did that to at least some degree but I think Tasker is going to be offering the perspective of a 1989 locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This is bound to be short-lived. The first time Murph dumps his coffee mug full of brown gravy on Tasker's neatly pressed khakis, Steve will undoubtedly seek gainful employment elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
