If you and others want to attack Mike Schopp with no regard to this thread title, please start your own thread. I listened and my opinion hasn't changed. Loved how right after he let Sal off the air, he asked Bulldog if he thought the Bills were a better team, looking for support. BD didn't really back him up. Schopp cannot stand being wrong because he's in MENSA or whatever. When it comes to sports, he is pretty clueless. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That was pretty entertaining. I find myself agreeing with Bulldog the most. I like the way Beane and McD are running things better than Whaley and Rex to paraphrase Bulldog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Didn't seem heated at all. I get what Schopp is saying. Beane and McDermott talk about the previous regimes as if they have won something. They haven't won anything yet and maybe they should ease up on bashing previous regimes until they have at least one meaningful accomplishment. A healthy salary cap isn't an accomplishment. You don't hang banners or get rings for most salary cap space. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he played a sport in his life. He couldn’t carry Sal’s jockstrap. I think Schopp might have played a little tennis. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike changed his tune fairly quickly. Callers don't have the opportunity that Sal was afforded. Funny listening and Bulldog just let's him get crushed. LOL Thx for sharing- This is likely a small sample of the people that call in (since most of them usual ramble on about nothing) but true. This is the scenario I have come to expect listening to them: Schopp has a stance on a topic Caller A points out the flaw in that stance Schopp dismisses/hangs up/etc. 15 minutes pass Caller B agrees with schopp on stance and adds more info to back it up schopp didn't think of that so he brings up the counter point of caller A from 15 minutes earlier to put down caller B that agrees with him. rinse and repeat. Even when people agree with him, he has to be right and someone else has to be wrong. And good for Sal. I'm sure he's been getting sick of having to deal with the doom and gloom every time he's on that show.

BillnutinHouston Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I listened to the clip only because of reading this thread. It was nowhere near as contentious or entertaining as I expected. Oh, and Schopp is pompous with everyone. Sal is only pompous with some callers (he's in the process of forgetting where he came from). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I heard his opening segment today before Sal got there. Didn’t quite get why Schopp sounded so offended by McDermott’s quote. I just assumed he was trying to fill his show with a topic. I get what McD was saying though. Just didn’t seem like that big a deal to trigger Schopp. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) 54 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: Disagree that he contradicted himself. Sal was trying to compare Mike's comments about the win/loss record mattering with his policy of being pro tank, which deliberately takes on losses. The point of the tank is to produce a team that gets the wins, Sal. Mike is quite a bit brighter than Sal and that's not debatable. They represent naturally opposing forces as each has very different views on most sports related topics. You can hear Schopp restraining himself constantly when Sal says things that you know Mike hates, if you listen enough. Normally Mike is professional and does not go after Sal, but today he kind of did, and Sal retaliated! Which is why I posted it here.... I found it to be quite entertaining. This quote from McDermott today really triggered Schopp. Mike said so himself, even using the word "trigger." He was feisty all day and it was a good day for listening. Intelligence (or "brighter" as you said) for the most part is subjective...hence highly debatable. Can you provide examples demonstrating how Mike is brighter than Sal? Edit: didn't think so.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 40 minutes ago, Bills fan since 87 said: Listened to that live, got a little akward. I don't dislike Schopp as much as others but his clap back when Sal used his own reasoning to back him into a corner was a bit much. Sal was right, he did contradict himself. And he started claiming the Rex teams were "measurably better" because Orton had a 300 yard passing day. Weak tea. Mike stepped in it and tried to tap dance his way out of it. 2 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: You're entitled to your opinion. As a regular listener, I can assure you that this was pretty edgy.

Bangarang Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That wasn’t heated at all. I remember them actually having a heated debate about teams tanking in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way Beane and McD are running things better than Whaley and Rex to paraphrase Bulldog. What was that bit about how the current regime is not trading players at midnight while drinking red wine? LOL. I thought that kind of came out of nowhere. Was there some story I missed about Whaley drinking wine late at night while making football decisions?! Schopp kind of called Bulldog out on that after Sal left the conversation, saying he had no reason to know how the previous regime acted or when or if they were drinking wine....and you could hear Bulldog do his usual "deep breath" routine with his breathing clearly audible. LOL. Bulldog routinely refrains from talking while Schopp is saying something Bulldog disagrees with. He comes across as a nice guy and a taste for confrontation is simply not within him (Bulldog that is). Schopp is the exact opposite, which is perhaps why their pairing works. 1 minute ago, Bangarang said: That wasn’t heated at all.

Schopp NEVER gets into it with Sal, even though Sal routinely says things you know Schopp positively hates. Mike gives Sal a lot of courtesy/respect that he does not give to callers who express the same opinions as Sal. 10 minutes ago, Green Lightning said: A healthy salary cap is an accomplishment especially when you were in a black hole because of past decisions.
