notwoz Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Listening to the Schopp/Bulldog show tonight. Schopp is not on the air. He has a day off. I find the show surprisingly listenable without Schopp and his addictions to gambling, fantasy leagues and his ego. 22 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Haha, he is insufferable at times but I've gotten used to his "I'm the smartest guy in the room ans you are an idiot if you dint agree with me" schtick so it doesn't bother me as much anymore... Sometimes he is actually pretty funny. 4 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I don't mind either of them honestly. I just wish they'd chill with the fantasy/betting talk so much. I know it's a big thing now, but it gets old after a while 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBillsForLife Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Schopp was always bad but now he's absolutely insufferable with the fantasy football and now actual betting talk, someone needs to put him in a program for addicts. Bulldog is OK but he can't carry a show by himself. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Haven't listened to WGR in years. However, I always appreciated that Schopp never hesitated to call dumb people dumb. 2 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schopp seems to be condescending to callers who he doesn't agree with and fails to answer many of the callers questions when asked. He's also such a fanboy for any guest involved with sports betting Edited October 5, 2022 by BfloBillsFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Madness Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) I love listening to Schopp. I really like the obscure references and odd takes. Feels very Larry David-esque. I enjoy Bulldog if Schopp is on with him. I find Bulldog minue Schopp boring. And thankfully I am not much into hockey as Marty's voice/accent/lisp drives me nuts.

BullBuchanan Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Schopp and Bulldog work well together, but Bulldog on his own is so boring. He's better as a B guy. I've always liked Schopp, and I've always liked Jim Rome both of which are pretty unpopular around here. I don't really have the opportunity to listen to them much anymore, but I try to catch their post games 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 The show has been the equivalent of "FanDuel prop bets" for a while now. I can't listen to them. Even the post game show that they do they talk mostly about the bets that they made and won/lost. Just boring radio. And Schopp has always had to be "the smartest guy in the room". He will make a point, a caller makes a counter-point that is valid and makes his point invalid. He cuts the caller off and says they are wrong. Five minutes later.... someone calls in and agrees with Schopps' point that he previously made and she will use the caller's point that he hung up on to make the person that agreed with him look dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even here in Cbus with the complete Buckeye focus / homerism, I catch myself thinking the same thing about just now amateur hour WGR is. I think Howard and Jeremy do a good job in the morning and I like listening to them when driving home the morning after a game. Sal is ok but the afternoon guys are brutal. The guys on here at least have some knowledge and can speak somewhat intelligently about sports outside of Buckeye football. Schopp & Bulldog aren’t even very knowledgeable about football, their “bread & butter”. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I find them tolerable for a while on the weekday show but it does get repetitive and the fantasy football stuff? so boring! I switch right away. What kind of bugs me recently is the post game show with them. Its like 80% commercials and very little dissection of the game.

Bills!Win! Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I have the podcast app and I listen to Howard and Jeremy on the way home. They are actually good. But I only listen to them about 3/5 days a week or it becomes too much. Schopp and bulldog just sound miserable and grumpy. I find myself laughing along with Howard and Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloButt Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I'm from CA and 4 years ago went to a Bills game. While there, I discovered WGR. Like a fool I didn't realize there were multiple Talk shows for the Bills and only thought there was Schoop & the Bulldog. I only listened to them for the next 2 years. One day I noticed Howard & Jeremy as an option along with Sal. Needless to say, I love & listen to Howard & Jeremy now daily and rarely tune in to Schopp. Seems like Schopp is always moody and ready to snap at the callers especially if they say something controversial or opposed to their opinion. I wonder if there are TV shows I don't know about??!! Edited October 6, 2022 by BuffaloButt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I don't care for Schopp's content.........he's not up to the standards of today in terms of analysis/discussion of pro football and he definitely doesn't understand that talking about his fantasy teams/results is like talking about your Dungeons and Dragons adventures.........literally nobody gives a sh*t about your personal imaginary successes or failures. But he is a legitimate professional broadcaster. Listenable and often insightful. But I have no idea how Bulldog is on the radio. His stuttering and stammering is totally out of control. He is actually a little better working by himself because most of his struggles with spitting out a sentence are related to answering questions or contributing to group discussion of any sort. Also, he's is a fan of the New England Red Sox........though he claims to have lost much interest in them since they won a World Series. Rooting for Boston sports teams should be a no-go for Buffalo fans..........the Patriots, Bruins and Celtics have been reviled in their competition with Buffalo pro teams.........but him being a "finish-line fan" makes you wonder if he'd mail it in on the Bills if they won a Super Bowl. If you are going to have a talentless Joe like Bulldog opposite a pro broadcaster at least he should be the kind of fan who is fully invested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagon127 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I do believe they lost a bet one day at the station, and that's why they got picked to handle the bills post game show.
