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.

His Wonderlic would struggle to break double digits. A true rockhead.

PirateHookerMD Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Tasker is brutal. Reuben would have been much more entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

Living outside of the Buffalo area this helps with knowing them better. I live in Florida and I felt the same way. After a few months of listening, I just couldn't tolerate it. I look for Bills news everyday...I just can't handle Donald...especially Murph not being objective at all. He's on the payroll and can't handle people criticism of the team and management. UGH!

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...
TroutDog Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Can you please rename this topic to include some kind of QB talk? I don’t know what to do if it doesn’t include QB information anymore. Thanks in advance! 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...

He is an expert and speaking a lot while saying nothing, and no one is less tuned into the inner workings of the team than Sal, despite being around those guys 24/7. He is too much fan, not enough reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Fadingpain said: 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. Seig Heil ! 2 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: Not really.
