“Little late bud...” wonder how anyone could take that rudely? 

 

Your intention was exactly how everyone took it. 

 

I for one am happy for the thread. I don’t listen to garbage radio and I appreciate the chance to discuss it with fellow fans. 

 

Ok....And here I thought at least I wouldn't say "in". Think what you want. You are more than entitled to your opinion, I know I now have one of you. What I said was neither rude nor untrue. And for the record, not everyone, as you claim, took it that way....including the OP. Thanks for chiming in tho

Already discussed in the other Steve Tasker thread. Apparently CBS did not renew his contract.

We decided it deserves its own thread, but thanks for the helpful input.

Tell yourself whatever you have to but you cannot dictate to me what the intention was. I know exactly what it was, and you do as well. 

 

You could own in and start your path to being a better man. But something tells me you’ll continue the charade.

Oh. Darn, I wasn't involved in that decision. Can I join the committee next time?

Whats your problem? I made my intentions known to the OP and life is great. And then...you. Lmao. Stop it. You don't know me or my "charade". How do you even know if I'm a man? Seriously....what's the issue? I made my intentions known from the get go. Settle down bud. No ill intent here except for what you are bringing

Kelso was excellent at analysis, able to explain NFL concepts so we could all understand.  I learned a lot listening to his broadcasts.  I'll miss Kelso.

 

One of the reasons Kelso was so good was because he came on the heels of VanPelt.  I hope Eric Wood won't be just another cheerleader like VanPelt.  There's already enough Myron Cope's in the league.

It's confusing to me as well.

Not really unfathomable that something would confuse you. 

 

Maybe you guys can hold each others hands and discuss with one another how deep my words sliced you.

Tasker is rough but Murph is the absolute worst...   Company shill down to the bone.  

Murph was never condescending back in his old days at WBEN, like he is now.    It’s like he has become a grumpy old man.

Tasker was rough early on during his tenure at CBS, but I feel he improved dramatically over the past few years. I liked seeing him do on TV; I like to see former Bills succeed. Best of luck to him, I’m sure he will be fine.

Good lord, what's with all the hostility around here.  

 

 

...EXACTLY.......plenty of Bills retirees who decide to make Buffalo their permanent home.....pretty damn good testament IMO and they remain actively involved publicly and on a charitable note.........

Just a guess, but I think you misread the topic. Taster is out a commentator for 21 years from cbs. Not, locally or on Bills radio broadcasts.

No Sir. It was announced yesterday at noon on OBL, talked about in another Tasker thread, and I was just bringing to light what I thought was already lit. I didn't mean to sound all knowing, was just passing along the info. No ill will on my behalf. Sorry if it sounded like it

Edit...thread topic title has since been changed

I heard Tasker talk about this yesterday. He really is a great guy, was completely honest and talked about his time there quite openly. I've said it before but considering the guy is a wall of famer and is always in discussions for HOF consideration, considered widely to be the GREATEST special teamer of all time, he has zero arrogance about him. If you didn't know he was a former player you wouldn't even guess. He's just a really, really nice guy.

 

But man he is painful to listen to for more than five minutes. Maybe give him a segment on Fridays before the games so he can give his thoughts. Actually he'd probably only be able to articulate one thought in five minutes.

 

I can imagine him ordering food in a restaurant:

 

Waiter: what can I get you Mr Tasker

 

Tasker: Good question, I erm, I guess I, well, lets take a look at the erm, the... the er...

 

Murphy (busy eating his fifth steak and eggs): the menu

 

Tasker: yeah, the menu. Hmmm. I guess there's a lot here, so I'll just go for the erm. you know. The way I'm feeling right now, with it being morning, which is different to evening. So with that in mind I'll probably just have lunch...

 

Murphy: Breakfast

 

Tasker: Right. Breakfast. I think the best thing, when you look at it from top to bottom would be, what are those things, those things that are round they put them in a stack. You know, we always pour over that stuff that comes from trees?

 

Murphy: Pancakes?

 

Tasker: Ya, that's it. I'll take the pancakes

 

Waiter: I'm afraid Mr Murphy has eaten all the pancakes.

Man. That was a RAPID 180. I wasn't prepared for the BUT after that glowing intro!

Tasker actually mentioned this on OBL a week or 2 ago. I guess no one picked up on it.

It's the "bud" aspect. That's generally seen as condescending.
