oldmanfan Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Maddy, welcome to the Bills and Sabres. I wish you every success in your job, and look forward to your reports. And as the father of two daughters, I am sure you ignore some of the sexist crap posted here because you've heard it before as have my daughters, but my apologies for the Neanderthals who post that kind of nonsense. Now, as for the important stuff: Ted's (hot sauce and onions), Bocce's (pepperoni with extra cheese), Beef on Weck (you'll hear several names, try them all!!), and Wings (again you'll hear various opinions, try them all but I'm a Duff's guy myself). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 23 minutes ago, Cripple Creek said: No, they really are not. What is true is that the anonymity and impersonal nature of social media, message boards etc. has made it much more likely for someone to say something demeaning about another person "publicly" where before only their small circle would be privy to their idiocy. So it’s “idiotic” to prefer an attractive media host to one that isn’t attractive? If that’s “idiotic” than the world is idiotic, because that’s what the world “prefers”. Well then, I suppose I’m an idiot, just like the majority of the world that likes to look at attractive people. Just like the countless media outlets that hire attractive people to host their shows. At least there are a handful of people, like you, that aren’t idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, well I was mostly being cheeky, I obviously understand their position/role with the org, and that certainly doesn’t fire me up as you’ve described. For the most part, I avoid the official website, I’m not one for fluff pieces in general, sports or otherwise. As I was explaining to a “TeH SlaNTeD MsM!!!1!” friend recently, it’s up to the individual to decide what and where to read and “believe” as far as news. I try to stick with “hard copy” reporting, and avoid pieces labeled “analysis” or “opinion”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997WS6 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Wow, I just read this thread and wish I hadn't. I can't believe what jerks some of you are. First, I want to say Maddy is a very good looking girl, but even if I thought she wasn't, I wouldn't say a thing. I guarantee the "men" saying these things wouldn't be saying them if she were standing in front of them. Why? Because it's rude, and not true. Thankfully, she's been told she's good looking her whole life and probably won't be too affected if she sees this thread, even still, I'm ashamed FOR you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I’m trashy because I typed “I wish she was cuter” on a message board that she can possibly read. Do you guys really think Maddy cares if a guy on a message board said “I wish she was cuter”? That’s the real point here. If she’d be sobbing all sad, than maybe I’d be a jerk, but she isn’t. No one would be......unless you count her parents, which seems to be my biggest crime in the world of trash. So sensitive to the honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akm0404 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’m actually pretty impressed with the near universal rebuke that a few embarrassing members of the community are receiving. Perhaps only 5 years ago, the comments would have been very, very different. I makes me feel happy inside to know that the “lady isn’t hot enough for a sports talkin’ jerb”” Neanderthals are in their death throes, and much to their chagrin, will be all but eliminated in less than a generation’s time. Also A+ to jizz mopper guy. Let us continue to point and laugh at the zoo animals as they go kicking and screaming into the wrong side of history. Hurrah!

Chandler#81 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I like her. She’s sports knowledgeable and carries herself well live in front of a camera. The vid link above with Morse & Dawkins is a good example. They’re busy but respect she’s live and stop and answer her questions when she finished asking. Extraneous things going on with an interviewee disrupt continuity. She deftly worked around this and brought her next question. More challenging than you might expect. I follow her on Twitter because -unlike Dirty Ol’ B, I’m NOT normal. She isn’t going away. She’s a competent Buffalo Sports reporter.
