Gugny Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 About 7 years ago, I called in and requested, "I'm All Out of Love," by Air Supply. Beerball had just given me a one-week suspension for calling Dog90210 a stupid ***** ####### in the Shoutbox. I thought, maybe, he might be listening and realize that I'd learned from my mistake. They didn't play the song. I did my time. Now I bag groceries. #so was red 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Called into the Marv Levy show once. Asked Marv about his decision to punt on a 4th down and 2 or 3 when inside the other team's 40 when trailing on scoreboard in 3rd quarter or so. He explained that the league average going for it at that distance was something like only 30% success. I pointed out that a punt into end zone was worth less than 20 yards and he politely again defended his decision. Next game the Bills were in a very similar situation and decided to go for it. Could it be? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having left WNY in ‘96, Sunday Ticket & more recently web-based radio has been my ticket for the games. After the games, I head to the car for the WGR post game. Aside from my love of the team, I don’t know why. It doesn’t take long to shut it off and go back inside, hoping against Hope that only the dumbest, drunkest and the very worst of Bills fans are the lone callers to the program. Not that the hosts are any better. Step Up your game, WNY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Technically, no. I did call Murphy’s Monday evening show on WBEN with Larry Felser to question Todd Collins’ imitation of Shaggy (“wasn’t me!”), when post game press conference reporters would critique his performance. Offensive team failures were NEVER Todd’s fault (according to Todd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first_and_ten Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Murphy/Tasker are homers. I suppose there Isn't anything wrong with that but I like to get a more unbiased take sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your employment situation? Yep. I called The Coach's show on the day Flutie was signed b/c it annoyed me that he was attacking a guy so mean-spiritedly before he even got there -- mostly because, if memory serves, he had another player on and was trying to get him to say bad things about Flutie. I started to say something silly about how anyone with a ruler can see how tall he is, what matters is he's won games in the NFL and maybe should not be run out of football." -- but he hung up on me pretty fast. At the time I was working at a record store on Main St. while in college, but within weeks would be out of Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I have real life friends (and all message board!), so no. I don’t get calling into a radio show and waiting to talking for 2 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Back in the 7th grade I talked to “The Coach” Chuck Dickerson. It was just after the Bills to this date won their last playoff game. Edited March 30, 2019 by Leonhart2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand how if you don’t agree with them, they slam them either when the caller is on, or after. Im not saying you make a good point Murph and Tasker can be a bit of homers, but the two are the JERRY Sullivan of the radio. Sorry for the caps on Jerry. That was an auto correct on my IPad. My fault for not checking before posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Eh, isn't there an age restriction where you have to be at least 50+? I mean, I feel like that is the demographic that will call into WGR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I have a voice for silent films. If i called i would most likely be introduced as former Bills CB Leodis McKelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I called into GR when I was a kid after a Sabres game. I had to be about 12 years old. Anyway, I thought I knew hockey and couldn’t understand why the Sabres would put Larry Playfair on the ice in a tight game, protecting the lead, when he led the team in penalty minutes. The host took the time to school me and I think he enjoyed beating up on a kid that didn’t know what he was talking about. That was back when kids could take a tongue lashing without having to go see a psychologist after.
