billsredneck1 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) look , a million people just saw what was an absolute 2 step backwards this staff went with this team....but usually the post game show and hearing other people vent takes some of the steam, coming off my bald ass head, away....however... in shoop's keeping with his traditional bash the caller persona , even the post game show is as unbearable, as the game itself...sans dan fouts and the nerd sittin next to him. anyway, a caller brought up 3rd and 4..or 5 .....in possible fg range , why would you call a pass after all that has gone down....where even 3 points could turn things around and.... schoop treats the caller like an idiot. well i will still look forward to one bills live, schoop and his spittin lips have joined the radio coverage with the coaching staff at bringing this whole thing to a new low. i can't even get a minute to commiserate with fellow fans who call in.

Captain Murica Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Honestly, just don't tune in. It's his personality, and won't change unless they eventually win the Superbowl. Between Yolo, and 26 along with Twitter they're are better ways to gather information on the Bills than WGR. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Schopp also ripped Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott in the post game show. But not surprisingly, when he has them on his show he plays nice. He is the type of guy that will shoot his mouth off like a tough guy but hide the moment he has a chance at confrontation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also routinely forgets to breathe while speaking and runs out of air before he finishes a sentence. He also has the type of voice that causes him to perpetually have a frog in his throat. That's been flaring up lately. Other than that, his speaking skills are top notch. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually take 8-12 minutes from the start of the show to get on the topic of the Bills or Sabres...talk TOO MUCH about their personal life and/or family, and they don't really engage with the listeners-they like to state their own point of view..and then if a caller/listener disagrees they talk down to them or their point.

They definitely ease into the show at the very top with (allegedly) funny anecdotes from their personal lives, etc. That's clearly a stylistic choice being made by someone in charge of the show. I don't like it either. As I've said many times, Schopp does not simply attack anyone who disagrees with him. He tends to attack idiots who clearly are idiots. He is polite to callers who can articulate a logical argument, and don't refer to the HC or QB of the team by the wrong name, even if they are offering a contrarian viewpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He grew up on Grand Island and chooses to live there now with his wife and 2 kids.

Well he did start in Rochester, and do recall people saying he'd be on ESPN soon which never happened. Did he choose to stay because he never got a good offer. I haven't listened to him in probably 15 years as not on any local radio for me, but he seemed to be arrogant with all callers unless they 100% agreed with him.

But where I agree with you is where they go on and on about it. Fantasy football also. If you want to talk fantasy football, I'm totally fine with it. Have a segment where you bring on an 'expert' to talk about it or field questions. Have a whole 2 hour show about it (they do that, don't they?) But for all that is good in this world, don't go on..over and over..for days and days about your 'station fantasy draft' or whatever guillotine draft they are having. Want to bring it up? Ok, I can deal with that even though I'm not interested, but after many mentions over many days..give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Schopp needs a show on NPR where he can talk about culture, technology, etc. It seems to me he's not that into sports which is frustrating if you tune in to hear about sports. I find the palate of his show very limited. Buffalo deserves a sports station or hosts who are knowledgeable and passionate about sports related to Buffalo and nationally. There should never be reason for a meat or movie draft on a sports talk show. The hell those things have to do with sports? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
