die hard bills fan Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Murphy and Tasker were hard to listen to but feel bad for Murphy. He is very passionate about the bills and gotta be a big disappointment for him. Only way I can see him wanting to leave if it was a health issue. Brown is awesome as adds insight but wonder if he will be pulled away from practices and not know as much now. Glab is ok, adds youth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I know that he has his distractors on this board, but I always like John Murphy and am very sad to see him go. The last season or two with Tasker has been brutal though. Chris Brown? No thanks. Although he can provide good info, I find that he projects this "know it all" attitude that is hard for me to swallow. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the right time for Murph to leave the day-to-day grind. IMO, his heart hasn't been in it in recent years. Like most older guys, it gets harder and harder to be motivated and not just phone it in (i.e., Vic Carucci, Peter King, Chris Berman, me, myself and I, etc). Back in the day, One-On-One Sports was the gold standard of radio sports talk. It's a shame that younger fans never got to hear Murph when he brought his "A" Game--which was every bit as good as any national host--every night. Those were special times that I'll always remember fondly... Edited May 21, 2020 by Lurker 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Guy on the Bench Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I guess I'm in the minority, but I still really like Murph and over the last few years I've gotten many hours of enjoyment listening to the show while taking my walks. I'm even pretty fond of Tasker, though I admit his sentences often change direction in pretty perplexing ways. Brown often has good insight, so I enjoy him in short bursts. I'm a little skeptical about listening to him for three hours at a time, though. Guess we'll see. 12 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) People who are paid to talk about football should know about football. Maddy Glab doesnt know football, she also has very little knowledge on Bills' history. Unless of course you think "Dan" Beebe was one of the better Bills wideouts. I liked Murphy and Tasker a lot. I think it was en vogue to hate them and became a bit of a thing over time. I'll take Murphy and his historical knowledge of the team going back to the AFL days, and Tasker with his stories about the 90's team over Brown and Glab any day of the week. Also reading the article, its pretty obvious it wasn't mutual. To me it sounds like Murphy wanted to take the down time of the year off completely and only work during Training Camp and the season. "It was mutual, I guess" "They wanted to take the show in a different direction." etc. Edited May 21, 2020 by thenorthremembers 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Murph has never endeared himself to me as the Bills play-by-play guy. Never. As the Bills enter a new era of greatness they should look to upgrade their broadcaster as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back2Buff Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Murphy and Tasker were a train wreck every time I tried to listen to the show. Murphy is not up to date with what is happening enough, and Tasker is just clueless. They spent more time arguing about stuff that wasn't even true. Murphy would bring up some rumor from 5 days ago, Tasker would get all mad about something that isn't even happening, and Murphy would just turn into a grumpy old man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Murphy and Tasker just seem to go through the motions on the show. Its a same tired plug and play formula every day and a boring listen. Poll of the day to drive the day's discussion with callers.... the "Tweet Sheet", etc. Wouldnt be surprised if Murphy is just bored with it and is at an age where he is looking to get away from the daily grind. Brown is always good when he is on. I don't mind Glab on the occasional appearance or hosting. She is kind of the 'noob' to the area and team so its kind of fun hearing people fill her in and hearing her perspective as a Buffalo/Bills outsider. I think its going to be terrible on a full-time basis. I dont mind Murphy as pbp, but I dont think he is particularly good either. He does a terrible job of painting a picture for each play. He doesnt do a good job of describing distance. A pass could be 3 yards or 30 and you dont know for a little bit.

machine gun kelly Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I don’t mind Brown, and Tasker is fine with me, but if he’s gone, that’s too bad. I know a lot of people don’t like it, but not a big to me. Glad is fine for a filler, but a three hour host seems a bit much to me. She also has everything scripted with her trivia questions, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I respect Murph because of his passion for the Bills, but his play-by-play leaves a lot to be desired. As I've said before, we used to turn the TV down and listen to Van Miller call the game (even listen to him at the stadium while watching), but I would never do that with Murph. He lacks any real talent for calling the big plays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
