Mango Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Can't quite put my finger on it, but Sal reminds me of Shuli on Howard Stern. Maybe it is that Sal seems to be the keeper for the WGR Wack Pack in Schopp and BD? Making a career out of being the smartest guy in a room full of dumb-dumbs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 28 minutes ago, krf139 said: I can see Sal as the kind of guy who walks into a bar like he's hot stuff because he's a sideline reporter. That's the kind of vibe he gives off. Having lived around the U.S. and listened to countless sports talk radio and beat reporters, we can do far better. Then you really do not know anything about him. Sal is a very approachable guy and easy to talk with. 27 minutes ago, krf139 said: They lost to the Jaguars and Texans in the playoffs. We should have won both games. Why does nobody want to talk about this? Of course, Sal dismisses it. Because NEITHER MATTER in 2020 and Why Sal Dismissed your take on the Radio and No the same reason why the Board is Dismissing it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerstm Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Sal is probably the best and most knowledgeable Bill's reporter there is. You were probably the stupid caller making the lame point.

416BillsFan Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Sal comes off as a good person but I don't find him entertaining or insightful as a host. He's at his best as a guest when he's asked very specific questions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 59 minutes ago, krf139 said: Not sure about anyone else, but I'm getting pretty tired of Sal Capaccio on WGR. While he's very passionate about the Bills and Western New York, he comes across as extremely arrogant and thinks he's a self-appointed spokesman for the Bills. He routinely dismisses callers who make valid points - this morning, someone called in wanting to talk about the few playoff teams the Bills have defeated during McDermott's tenure and Sal immediately cut him off and said the point wasn't relevant. When callers call in and it's unclear what they are trying to say, he starts screaming. Admittedly, this can be frustrating but it comes across as arrogance. It's also kind of tiring listening to him try to justify / explain every move the Bills make as if he's McBean's press secretary with the attitude of "you must listen to me because I'm a sideline reporter and used to coach football." Given his role is so visible on WGR, I certainly hope this is a position that eventually gets upgraded. Sal is ok but if you think Sal is bad go listen to Mike Schoop, he's 1000x worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Sal is the best radio personality on WGR by a wide margin. Sports radio callers tend to be ignorant loudmouths. Not only are they very often wrong, they feel that the world needs to hear their stale "insight" and anyone that doesn't give their views credence must be a company shill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 He's horrible. He tries really hard every time he's on to interject "me" into his stories. He often answers questions by making them about him, never simply answering the question. "Sal, what's the weather at the stadium this morning?" "Well, when I walked through the tunnel and onto the field..." He talks about himself way to much, and never prompted. No one cares about his kid either. He sounds and talks like a classic jocksniffer, which is basically what he is, wishing he was friend with the players, referring to them by their first name, which is poor journalistic form. But he does it because he is implying he knows them that way. He also cuts everyone off, not just callers but he interrupts and cuts off the hosts he's on with. He's unlistenable and if I am listening to WGR and he comes no, I turn it off. Shut up, answer the questions, stop interject "me" into every response and move on. Everyone lives him because he is a fan, a homer and when a reporter portrays that characteristic, the homers like him because they see their reflection in him. He's just so bad in so many ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand listening to the guy, which is unfortunate because he's definitely connected to the team and has inside information. I can't recall the last time he broke any "inside" information or news. His takes are generally wrong, and he has no understanding whatsoever his role should be as a member of the media. Ultimately, he's just not a very bright guy; he's an easy upgrade but I don't think anyone is looking to go that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to think he can cut people off and dismiss legitimate points because he's Sal Capaccio and used to coach football is arrogant. I guess people on this board are sheltered. Get outside of Western New York a bit. Sal is in the bottom of his field. Speaking of arrogant.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've said this before, I used to hate the guy. Found him really annoying when he had that little show he'd do from his basement. But I've really grown to like him. He knows a lot and despite being an employee of the Bills doesn't come across as totally biased. I mean, he is biased, but he frames his statements in a way that doesn't make it seem so obvious. He's also nowhere near as arrogant as the dwarf Chris Brown. I don't like Sal's solo show as much but when he pops up on WGR with his 20 minute segments I think he's really good. He also seems to have got to where he is through sheer hard work, which I admire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroutDog Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I appreciate Sal and his takes. He’s even keeled and confident...which is not arrogance. But some people can’t recognize that. I’ve never heard him yell at a caller. Does he correct them if they put words in his mouth? Sure, but anyone would. Here’s an idea, OP: don’t listen to him if you don’t like him and save us from threads like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, except he’s not that knowledgeable. The “I was a coach” thing is nothing more then to attempt to give his opinion validity. I have never heard him detail any of the football language a real coach would know. Hes on WGR because the people who followed him when he worked from his moms basement flooded WGR with “ hire Sal” calls and emails. For those who think those guys make a good living, you are very mistaken. Ill take my “living”over his any day. Having said the above, he’s probably the best that station has to offer. I’d listen to him anytime over most there. I listen when I’m driving and most of the callers are moronic, their questions are mostly uneducated drivel.
