Three hours of Bills propaganda. It's good therapy after the Bills get hammered the week before. No matter how bad it was, by Friday I'm completely confident in a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that when Murphy and Tasker were off Sal does the time slot from gr No worries. You're 100% right regarding WGR/Bills production. Sal's unique though, he collects a paycheck from both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total rockhead. Agree 100%. Murphy is a horrible interviewer, constantly throwing out leading questions that he's already answered himself. He's not only dismissive of callers, he's dismissive of his co-host, as well. Whenever Murphy disagrees with anything that Tasker says...which is quite often...he condescendingly retorts, "I don't know about that." Tasker then moves on like a puppy who was just whacked on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. Murph also sounds like he's gasping for air half the time or smacking his lips and swallowing hard like he's been in the desert for a week without a canteen...not to mention that he often looks like a slovenly mess on TV. His play-by-play isn't any better. He's often late on calls and screams in a scripted, unoriginal way after a Bills TD..."TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN!! TOUCHDOWN, BUFFALO!!! TOUCHDOWN, JOSH ALLEN!!!"

But is this guy horrible on the radio or what . It's borderline hate at this point with me listening to this guy. He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about half the time. Seems not to take his job seriously as if he's just winging it on a daily basis. Doesn't have a feel for the draft prospects coming out or even for players around the NFL. I hope he leaves the job soon because he's just brutal. I mean he makes miss Donald Jones. . Mistake after mistake this guy makes every show. It's obvious this guy has this career based on the type of player he was in the NFL because if any other of us was this bad at our jobs we would be fired and living on the streets, lol. Does anyone else here hate Steve Tasker. Lol. Sometimes they do have good guests who come on ( not often enough) , I got a long ride home after work so I listen to the podcast to kill time , to me it’s more of an entertainment then anything , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Bills Fan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 To be fair, trying to come up with 15 hours a week during the offseason is pretty difficult. I do agree that Murphy seems to think he knows everything and talks down to Tasker quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I avoid the Bills Radio Network altogether. Murph is a dope, Tasker is borderline un-listenable, and even Kelso annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it. And none of the nimrod football analysis exists there that you see ... well .... everywhere else. For the 3 hour Bills talk show, I expect more in depth takes and knowledge. Most of the WGR hosts spend little time preparing for their shows when discussing the Bills. They seem a little more knowledgeable when talking hockey but have too little knowledge of the Bills and NFL to learn much of anything. But you would think the One Bills Live show would have more in depth knowledge being discussed. Unfortunately, Murphy and Tasker appear to spend little time breaking down the Bills and the NFL. The Cover One guys go much deeper and you can learn something while Murphy and Tasker seem to just show up talking like your average fan. The guest interviews are good but is it too much to ask for some film breakdowns during the season and free agent and draft prospect analysis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauleeeWalnuts Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He is way better than Donald Jones and takes that blowhard John Murphy to task sometimes. I hate Murphy's "my opinion is gospel" attitude when someone doesn't agree with him. Sal and Chris would be a way better show IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It’s just a symptom of the nepotism that exists at all levels of the NFL.

Last year in the lead up to the draft i heard him twice say that Andrew Luck has never made the playoffs. Both times he was trying to make a point about how getting a great QB prospect like luck doesn't guarantee success. He used the state of the Colts as an example and topped it off with "Andrew luck has never made the playoffs!" He did this on two separate occasions about a month apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsSB2020 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Living in Las Vegas, I find the radio shows much more enjoyable as they spend the majority of the time talking about stories from around the various leagues. I'm not bashing Murph, Tasker, or any of them; just saying that I don't feel the need to catch up on Bills news via radio considering I spend the majority of my sports time focused on what the Bills are up to.

Just want my fix of Bills talk but man I'm thinking about just staying away from here on out. I mean these guys get me nervous sometimes. Lol. Your absolutely right about Homer radio to. I's a tough pill to swallow but I can NOT listen ti Murphy. Tasker atleast jokes a bit. I just don't like his "since I played, I know" attitude. But I like him much more than some of the other. On 2/20/2019 at 5:39 PM, groupthug said: Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Murphy is downright awful. He is arrogant, and often rude and dismissive to callers. I don't listen to the show at all this time of year, and when I do listen to it during free agency/draft/regular season, it's for the guests. Tasker isn't great, but he's leaps and bounds ahead of Murphy. I don't mind Murphy's play-by-play, and Mark Kelso does a great job with color analysis, but One Bills Live absolutely blows. And I agree, Sal is great. He should host One Bills Live, not Murphy. Shopp and Bulldog are still my go to. Obviously sal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
