The only reason i listen is because he is whats on when im going to work. I hope Sal takes over someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've made the Sammy trade palatable. He is getting flamed because he took that report from yesterday and ran with it like it was a done deal, insinuating the Bills FO was foolish. Also for spending an entire segment of his show on draft day debating whether cauliflower is worthy for consumption. Then ranking other vegetables in front of it. Seriously he did that, on draft day, for an entire segment. They frequently spend entire segments talking nonsense on non-sports related subjects. That is why I barely listen anymore.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 1 hour ago, Nextmanup said: He is the only guy at all time slots (on WGR) that is worth listening to IMO. Sal is a dumb guy and clueless about what's really going on with the Bills; he knows nothing of hockey. Bulldog is not much brighter and very tough to listen to as he is such a poor speaker; he stammers badly and perpetually has a frog in his throat. Jeremy is a really dumb guy and just some broadcasting major stooge. Howard is better than Jeremy and smarter than most of those guys over there but he is kind of laid back and doesn't really say anything worth listening to. His natural voice is such that he is constantly losing his voice or in danger of losing it. Murphy's show is Nazi Radio reminding us that the war is going extremely well in Russia each day. No point in listening there whatsoever. The 2 instigators are moronic ex-pro hockey players but at least they are tuned into how things really play out on the inside of a pro sports team and have some useful insights into the Sabres for that reason. Peters constantly raises his voice to talk over others and violates every broadcasting general rule every day. The kids who come on at night or odd hours sound like student interns. Schopp, though not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, is by far the best broadcasting property at the station.

I won't argue about veggies, but he hardly manipulated the dozens of reports suggesting a trade up was possible. It was the topic of the day as far as the Bills are concerned. I'm glad he hammered it and made it known it would've been horrible asset management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the reports for Gospel and gave no credence to the fact that many of these reports are often wrong or exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when he JUST LOVED the Watkins trade and trading up but now he states you SHOULD NEVER trade up. He really doesnt even like sports he just likes controversy and gambling. Much rather have a guy who loves sports and is knowledgeable, like Sal. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You CAN have a sportscaster who likes and roots for the local teams, but can still intelligently criticize the teams. and NO.................he isn't fooling anybody as some here suggest...................it's just the only station in town. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm more surprised people still listen to that show, there are many other options such as sirius radio and podcasts yet people tune in and state "There are no other alternatives". I haven't listened to that show in 4 years and I'm up to date on all Buffalo sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I've moved away and tune into WGR every once in awhile after games. I've listened to Schopp for years. Dude just does not come across as a happy individual in general, it's gotten worse over time to the point where "negative radio guy" really seems to be his lane right now. It's interesting radio if you enjoy listening to a guy who clearly doesn't really like what he's doing. Pure, open misery is definitely a bit different than what you normally find.

He certainly doesn't appear to enjoy his job, or even sports. He does seem to enjoy fantasy sports and betting, though. Deep down I don't think he considers himself a Bills fan or even an NFL fan. Maybe a hockey fan. He just seems to go through the motions to me. EDIT: Which is probably why he gets off on so many meaningless, silly tangents that go on and on for hours.

I don’t think anyone playing in 2 dozen fantasy football leagues, as he does, is “sick” of sports per se. MS seems much more sick of the “bureaucracy” of sports, i.e. GMs, coaches, and owners than the games and players themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can someone who likes Schopp explain a little more about why they like him? To me he doesn't seem to understand football more than a random fan, and he doesn't seem to know the team all that well. He just seems like a random guy with lots of opinions without doing his homework. So maybe if he was an expert I would value his opinion, but he's not, at least with football. Maybe he knows a lot about hockey or other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
