Yesterday, he actually said the yard line..”..on the Bills 38..”..but thankfully Wood in his color commentary surreptitiously mentioned the ball was on the Commanders 41. I don’t care if he is excitable or not…but at least get the basics down. At least am not getting Murph’s..”..BIG hole on the right side!!!…stopped after a gain of about a yard…” Edited September 26, 2023 by ControllerOfPlanetX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "sounding psychotic" is a turn-off, you're in for shock. Yeah yeah yeah we know. Touchdown! Kansas City. Touchdown………Raiders…. But someone like Jim Donovan also yells, but it’s a much smoother delivery, without the “he’s hotter than a firecracker!” Merrill Reese comes to mind with the iconic voices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauleeeWalnuts Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 His voice goes through my head like a spike. I’d take Murph back any day TBH, CB sounds like he’s calling a high school game and he’s one of the students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Miller, Jeanneret and even Ted Darling spoiled me. As sainted as Rick Jenneret was, EVERY and I mean EVERY damn time a Sabre crossed the blue line his voice went up 4 octaves and 20 decibels! EVERY. DAMN. TIME. That was huge annoying to me.......especially during game 78 in one of the many many rebuilding seasons...... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bklnpete Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I listen to One Bills Drive with Brown and Tasker. If there's a voice out there that makes me cringe it's not Brown's; It's the Stans from "Chic-towaga" or the Joes from Elma or all the Daves from the Southtowns that call in. Love Bills fans, cringe at the accents. Edited September 26, 2023 by bklnpete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why Murph gets little to no love from the fans? He was a good Sports Director at WKBW but that didn't translate as a natural pbp man. He kept repeating the same phrases -- "the snaaap" -- and when the play called for excitement, his voice strains and he just doesn't have the pipes.

Da webster guy Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 i like all announcers that are bills fans. loved kelso and murph, Van (duh), and Brownie has great enthusiasm and knows the team better than anyone so he's good for me too. Eric Wood is awesome in broadcast and mondays on WGR. now i need to figure out how to synch the radio with the tv so i can listen to these guys instead of the TV weenies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph half the time doesn't know who's who and dodders his way through He has ZERO clue who anyone on the other 31 franchises is unless they are a former Bill. I remember him calling a Brady touchdown vs us in that game at Tampa as being complete to Edwards for a touchdown. I think he meant Mike Evans. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Greg Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 People are pointing out his flaws which are all valid. But at least there’s a chance he could improve over time… I’d take that over Murphy who is awful, has always been awful, and is only getting worse. You’ve had a good run dude.

Dukestreetking Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Tone and timbre (during his good years) I give to Murph; football knowledge to Brownie. Combine the two, and we'd have ourselves a decent PBP guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I wish Murphy well health wise. But hope he never returns to the team.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Dredging this back to the top, it wasn't too many years ago that the radio 'Pregame Roundtable' was a good mix of print and broadcast journalists discussing the upcoming game. I recall Carucci, Felser, and a few other local notables having a place at that hour. Today I tune in for the first time in years, and it now consists of just Greg Brown and Sal Capaccio?! Audacy that broke they couldn't field a couple extra scribes? Or did Sullivan's rant over the hospitality table cause a mass exodus? 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Just heard some of the radio broadcast highlights. Not hearing the entire broadcast I can’t really judge, but for the big plays that he announces, the cliches and metaphors sound very scripted and contrived, like he’s reading off a Rolodex of 3 x 5 index cards with clever sayings. Not spontaneous. Edited October 1, 2023 by SoMAn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Every positive Bills play is a <human climax> (the "O" word is filtered) to Brown. If he dialed it back, and saved the emotion for the big plays, he could be very good. But he's done enough games now that he's clearly not getting any feedback to improve his delivery. He's a homer on steroids. Edited October 2, 2023 by Freddie's Dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I've been listening to the One Bills Live show, and talking to AJ, Chis used the word "repertoire" several times and pronounced it like this every time: Reh-pe-twah I wanted to smack Chris' bald head with all my might. He thinks he's being sophisticated but he's being a smack-worthy fool. Sorry, had to vent. Go to 4:56 for the first of many such offenses. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/a-j-epenesa-defensive-line-dominant-in-leading-the-nfl-in-sacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
