This is the best the Pegula’s could do.  I feel like I’m listening to a 8 year old girl hosting the show. 
 

lol

 

 

Yeah unfortunately I have to turn it off when she is on.    The combination of the faint voice AND heavy nasal makes it work to listen.    When she's on with Tasker who is constantly breathing into the mic and shifting the spit in his mouth it's just really bad.    A lot of people hate Schopp for his takes but the guy is really good as a broadcaster.

Jmo, We here are essentially old guys, (thirty and over)( and decidedly uncool) ?,  so she comes across as very young, but that’s the nature of a position like that, it’s a first or second step on a career ladder. I think she’s doing fine as to what is expected of her. It after all is a Bills propaganda show. 

 

Go Bills!!!

Yea, she's really bad right now. Only way to get better at anything is with practice. A few months from now and she is still this bad, then she should be replaced, but this is the perfect time for someone in her position to get some reps.

On my gosh, what you are describing could be used to torture suspects into a confession!! Haha

I don't want to come off as sexist, but some people are better off seen and not heard.  I have not listened to Glab (you all have done it for me), but I have seen picture of her.  She's a very attractive young woman.  Apparently, her speaking/reporting skills are not equal to her looks.  Hopefully, as others mention above, she will hone her skills and improve her broadcasting abilities.

Years ago Schopp did weekend fill ins on ESPN radio, he did a good job I thought.

 

He's grown old, like so many at WGR, that it just gets redundant listening to them.

The first time i heard her I'm thinking why are they allowing her to speak on air?  She's ok for taped video segments on the Bills website. I have no problem w that,,, But hey, I'm just a long time veteran Bills fan who doesn't really like the football product delivered to me on air by what sounds like a 19 year old.

I don't mind the things she has to say, I don't mind her opinions either.  But as others have said, her voice is just hard to listen to.  Its not her fault, and she seems to be someone who has the ability to be a good broadcaster.....but the few times she was on, I turned the station after a few minutes. Once again, its just the sound of her voice that doesn't come over the radio well and is very hard to listen to.

She does a pretty good job as a guest for Murphy and Tasker (when both are on and she does a segment) I think...

 

The problem is when Tasker is left to run the show when Murph is off. As much as I love the guy as a player, listening to him talk over her and struggle to get a coherent sentence together is just brutal.

I like her.  She appears to at least ask intelligent questions as if she actually did some homework.  It’s a nice change from listening to all the old guys on the show who often times appear to be winging it.  I’m sure she is there to help bring in a younger audience.  
I agree that Chris Brown is the best of the lot.

Disagree. She’s a 5, to me. Decidedly average. And, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Nice girl, I’m sure though.

 

Reading your posts is like digging sand out of the crotch of my speedo. I gotta give you a 2, decidedly below average. You're a nice guy though, I'm sure. ?

Meh I think she’s just filling in this week, if I’m not mistaken. She doesn’t have her own radio show. She’s just starting out, I’ve heard worse radio people. 


that’s right - she’s just a fill-in host and they have her on during the season for weekly guest spots. 
 

She’s very young; I know all of us were perfect at our jobs when we were starting out, but maybe everyone’s not that lucky. To me she always sounds prepared - she comes in with relevant stats and tries to explain them best she can. Meanwhile Murph and Tasker between them screw up at least half a dozen players’ names a day on that show.

I didnt want to say anything and she seems super sweet but she's not very good. If you watch the postgame show with Fred Jackson  its a hard watch. Hoping she gets comfortable and better at it

as a postgame guy he's as bad as anyone Ive ever heard which for me is a lot, absolutely awful

Absolutely brutal.  Like Tasker brought his  middle school daughter to the office and put her on the mic.

 

This decision is beyond bizarre.   An unforced error.

Who else do you know who starts out at the top of your profession (in this case, a fairly frequent co-host on and NFL team radio show)?

good point. It doesn’t appear she had to grind covering HS or college sports for any significant period of time. Idk, so many of the local media here covering the Bills are so plainly mediocre to me I suppose Ms. Glab just kind of blends in with the rest of them. 
 

I can respect those who complain about her voice though. It’s unique.

Murph is useless.  Hate listening to him on the broadcast.  Hate listening to him on the show.

 

Tasker is truly unlistenable.  Hate myself when I tune in and he is on.  Doesn’t listen to what’s being said, just spews garbage that may or may not be on topic.

 

Maddy isn’t horrible, just doesn’t have depth of knowledge.  Has surface knowledge.

It's no just the voice.  There's no content.  After Tasker speaks, she says "yeah really!!".

She covered University of Tennessee sports.  That's where left to come to Buff.

It took me google and 2.3 seconds to turn up this:

https://www.buffalobills.com/news/meet-maddy-glab-the-new-bills-reporter

 

I spent the last four years working for the University of Tennessee as their On-Air Talent/Multi-Media Producer (....) At Tennessee, I was the sideline reporter during football games for the University's official radio station as well as the sideline reporter for SEC Network digital games for several men's/women's basketball and volleyball games. I appeared on-camera for player interviews and different social media segments. In addition, I also produced feature stories for the football and men's basketball coaches shows. 

 

I don't know what you call "grind" or "any significant period of time" but 4 years OTJ experience seems significant to me...I mean, we're ready to throw top draft picks in the trash if they aren't lighting the league (and our hair) on fire after 2. 

 

She may have had a couple other years of experience beyond that - again a google search after looking at her Facebook profile showed she's ~28 yrs old.

 

I hope this means you don't consider anyone with less than a decade covering college sports to have put in significant time, vs Yet Another Let's Dismiss the Girl as Unqualified Before We Look At Her Actual Experience schtick
