Worried about the time that Sal has to be out at the stadium. Wish they put the instigators on at 10 and then 4 straight hours of Bills talk with Sal and OBL. We will see how this goes.

I don't mind him with Sal because he is at least a bit of a counter to Sal's everything glass half full and what you end up with is a pretty balanced take of the team. I prefer Sal on the afternoon show than the morning show where it does get a bit "everything is always great" at times. But I think Schopp sucks at interviewing people from the team. It is why McDermott switched to mornings and that Beane interview..... eeeek. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I like it. They were in dire need of more/better Bills coverage, and no one wants to hear about the Sabres nowadays. Give a couple hours to Sal and Joe. They deserve it more than hockey or OBL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is how in the middle suddenly he will flip to fantasy football topic when Sal is talking about Bills DBs or some other inane non-football question in the middle of the training camp report. If he wants to talk baseball or fantasy draft with Sal great - put it in a different segment. The fact that Sal gets a 15 minute training camp section in the afternoon and nearly always 10+ minutes is wasted with a super long winded question that has no point or a fantasy/betting question that is non Bills related or an instant trivia thing that takes up 2/3rd the segment. The Beane interview was facepalm worthy and it was to bad because Beane provided great insight into the cut down process and Mike just kept taking the interview off the rails. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It’s a good business decision. The Bills are awesome so Bills fans want more. The Sabres are absolutely atrocious so cut them to one hour. IMO, you guys are a little too hard on Sal. He’s more fair minded than Tasker and Brown (I know they technically work for the Bills) as they sometimes are so positive when problems it’s hard to listen. I’ve listened to more than enough Sal taking the obvious shots at the D Line last year, etc. On the other hand I gave up on the afternoon show as they are bafoons. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Rubber Mats Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Any of you guys listen to Tasker and Brown on Audacy/Radio app? Does that show have a weird crackle/feedback when either of those two knuckleheads raise their voices? It's the only show that does this, and has for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 2 Hours of Sabres talk is 2 hours too many. This is coming from someone who was as die-hard as you could get from the 30+ years prior to 4-5 years ago. 3 Hours of Bills talk with boring Brown and Tasker is too much on a daily basis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped 550 on during the afternoon on day one of the NFL draft. It happened to be during Sabres talk time. I was floored. The Bills are lined up to be in the SB hunt and the draft is finally here, but let’s spend hours talking about the worst team in hockey.

He retreats into analytics and, as a result, betting to spice things up. For whatever reason, he sounds like someone winging it and doesn't care. I tire of hearing him simplify everything down to metrics when the human component to sports is always in play. Another thing I've noticed...I tuned in a few weeks ago after something Sabres related had happened only for him to talk 10-15 minutes about an experience at the vending machine. What program director or station manager listens to that and doesn't make a point of ending the incessant banter about nothing. The afternoon show needs some energy, but they won't alter their hosts because there's no competition.
