Sneaky Joe can't hold the last dudes beer. This show needs a better host. Agree/disagree?

It’s clear he’s learning but yes - currently he’s terrible. They are flat out wrong about several things a day. Need to script their show a lot better.

I am “Sneaky Joe”’ and I’ve been on this board for a few years. When I’m the latest sideline reporter in a few years, I’ll remember what was said about me. Call in and challenge me on Bills’ data. I’ll fact you under the table. Signing off.

I find that their takes often don't make any sense. That there's rarely any real thought put into anything they say. 

 

Last night was especially confusing. They essentially just said that the Bills need to design an offense that emphasizes what Allen does well and ignores what he struggles with. They said they're fine with him throwing picks, or stalling drives, if every once and a while he hits on a big play.

 

They were essentially describing the offense we had when JP Losman was out QB. Long stretches of the offense doing nothing but go 3 and out, only to have Losman hit on the occasional deep ball TD to Lee Evans. The result was a bad offense and a defense that often wound up on the field for way too long because the offense couldn't move the chains. 

 

If that's what they think we're getting with Allen, then we're screwed. Guys who do what they were describing simply aren't franchise calibre QBs at the NFL level.

I haven't been a fan of any of them since Murph left, I'd rather they  just replay One Bills Live or better yet give Sal his own show because he IS THE BEST guy at WGR.

Guess I’m getting old, but I find myself yelling at the radio when the 12 year olds hosting don’t understand or get 80s, let alone 90s references. Their history starts with Trent Edwards. Can’t listen. Just can’t do it 

That's ok.  It's not ok with how little he knows about this era, too.

Is there really a need to hop on a message board and post about some kid playing “radio”? He probably makes a nickel over minimum wage. Just turn it off. If you can’t find other entertainment than the AM radio in 2018, the problem might be you.

I have no problem with him,if GR did,they would have brought back Brad Riter when Gates left for childish reasons.

 

Really?  Leaving a job where you make barely more than minimum wage for one where you can make enough money to survive and actually have some fun in your life is a childish reason?  Or do you actually believe he left because the Bills drafted Allen?  If you believe that then you are one of the most gullible people on this board.

To verify the beginning of your statement, Greg Bauch left to go to the Talking Yellow Pages of WNY.  What does that say about Entercorpse's pay structure for producers?

I always saw the late show as a laboratory for the 'young' producers/employees to cut their teeth and learn how to be on air.  Joe B did it and was very rough early and improved.  The last kid I thought was rough early on, but he ended up getting better.  It was a more fun and loose show where they would be free to talk about stuff like wrestling.  It was fine to listen to, but I didnt hang on every word and take things seriously.

 

I havent heard it, but same thing here.  Its a young guy trying to practice to hone a possible career.  Don't need to take it seriously, and certainly nobody forces anyone to listen.  It is a 7-9 shift (I think) and there is a small fraction of the listeners any of the other time slots get.  I would also rather have that than pre-canned ESPN radio, that we can hear on at least 1 or 2 other stations locally.

Better than Schoop rambling on everyday about fantasy football 

I agree. The afternoon 3pm show has gotten bad for me.  It drives me crazy when I turn it on at 3pm..give it  5 to 10 minutes and they STILL haven't brought up sports...but instead are talking about the kind of morning they had in their personal lives.

 

I'll take the young guys...even if they are a bit rough around the edges and new...just because they mostly talk sports (even if its nba, nhl, nhl, wrestling...anything, not other junk that goes on in their own day-to-day lives.

eeeeeeeh not really. Their on-air time is a fraction of their workday, most days.

Not for Schoop and the Bulldog.  Those guys seem to work the least of any adults I know of.
