BillsFan4 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Was just coming to post this. Pretty cool! Very happy E. Wood is back in the Bills organization! Plus We can fully put to bed that there were any hard feeling over his whole retirement press conference debacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wood will serve as radio color commentator alongside John Murphy for Bills game broadcasts on WGR Sports Radio 550 and Entercom’s Bills Radio Network. He will also regularly contribute content to One Bills Live and all Bills media and content platforms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like it was his choice - Wood said Kelso “had some other things going on”... I seem to remember he has another job but can’t recall if it’s coaching or something else I liked kelso too - especially with his film study, he’s so smart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it sounds like it was his choice. As I said, I’m sad to see Kelso go. But I think Wood will be good at this, especially with all the insight he has into this current Bills organization and how McBeane do things. His articles on The Athletic have been really good. So I expect more of the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 They are replacing the wrong guy. Wood is an awesome choice. I loved listening to his show on WGR every Monday. Always found him very candid and is well spoken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I hope Wood ignores Kelso's advice and refuses to do the broadcast with 20 sticks of gum in his mouth. And is there a chance that Van Miller had a son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter/nephew/niece/ even adopted relative that could replace John Murphy? Please??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstruck Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wood was never the same after the loss of Levitre, but I'm glad he's back. He's always been a real stand-up guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Did not like Kelso. I felt like that, If you never played organized football, he used terms that made it hard to understand. Tasker should be dragged behind a car by a chain. Murph should take some medicine for that chronic bronchitis. Can't wait for Fitz to retire. He will be legendary in the booth.

Instead, he should be given a swirly. No. Make that 2 swirlies, 4 noogies, 7 purple nurples, and then banned from broadcasting. 40 minutes ago, MJS said: Kelso is involved in NASCAR or something like that, right?

Hopefully Wood will stay at the same level as Kelso in his evaluation of the on field happenings & not go in the opposite direction like his new cohort did when Van decided to retire just sayin ?

dpberr Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Substance over style argument here and they are appealing to their demographics. Kelso/Tasker were A+ on the substance but ok on the style. Wood probably has the style and they hope he has the substance. Wood is like the goofy uncle at the barbecue, regaling you of always funny stories. He might shave, might not. Wears Nike slides year round. Kelso/Tasker are like dad's former service friends who haven't laughed out loud since that time in Panama.....during the invasion.

Nextmanup Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) This is interesting news. Mark Kelso was outstanding at his job as color analyst and I have no idea why he is not in coaching. He sees things most analysts don't and explain them to the viewer/listener. Having listened to Eric Wood talk a lot on his weekly GR-55 spots, there is no doubt he is quite intelligent and well spoken, way beyond the norm for a pro football player. I think he'll be good, but I question if he truly understands the X and O side of the game on both sides of the ball the way Kelso did. Kelso's old job of free safety set him up well for his color analyst gig; but Eric at center is not bad either. I wonder if Kelso decided he didn't want to do it anymore. I can't imagine he was replaced out of a desire to improve the position. EDIT: So Kelso wants to spend more time doing NASCAR stuff huh? I'm glad he left on his own terms, though I'll miss him.
