17islongenough Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The worst call I ever heard was after a preseason game. They called to say they trade away Josh Allen. This was because the backup played well and they should get maximum value. I think the QB was Trubisky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 2 hours ago, WIDE LEFT said: So this genius calls into Sal’s show this morning with this wonderful take. “Before the trade deadline Bills should trade for a QB”. His reason - Josh Allen needs competition so he doesn’t get too comfortable & and doesn’t get too careless ie turnovers. Initially Sal thought this was a joke, but no, our caller was serious. When he picked himself off the floor, Sal pointed out that JA was having an MVP like season. But there is so much more wrong with this take. Let’s start with the fact that what team with a QB good enough to give Allen competition would trade that guy. Who is this great QB that could threaten Allen, but doesn’t start for his own team. Unsurprisingly our genius caller did not name a candidate. You have to wonder how long this guy waited on hold to share this wonderful idea. there are more things wrong w the fan base narratives than our OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayg Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 1 hour ago, The Wiz said: There have been a few bad ones already this morning. Sal was on a heater a few minutes ago about a tweet he got related to wanting any defensive player over DHop (paraphrasing). I quit listening after hearing this tweet and response. In fact, I enjoy these shows much better when there are no callers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) You have your dumb callers who just ramble incoherently, and then you have somewhat intelligent callers who intentionally spout off with ridiculous takes just to fire up the hosts, or get their jollies with their buddies afterwards about what a hysterical call they made today. Callers on sports talk radio SUCK, and should be eliminated. Edited October 30, 2023 by LabattBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been the same caller that wanted the Bills to trade Diggs, so Allen wouldn’t focus on Diggs so much and could spread the ball around more to the other WR’s on the team.

strive_for_five_guy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 4 hours ago, QB Bills said: That was me and I stand by my call. Josh knows he's got zero competition back there. It was different when he knew trubisky or keenum could take over at any time and do as well or better than he did. So he had to keep his head more in the game. Now he's free to galivant at celeb parties and golf on off days instead of watch film or sit in the cold tub. I wrote a letter to the Bills detailing this also. I'll report back once they reply. So we now know Dorsey’s burner account on TBD too 🤔🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess he's the writer from Boston who claimed that Jake Fromm would be the Bills starter over Josh by midseason. I imagine after that take he's fallen on hard times & the only place that will even take his opinions on the NFL are call in talk shows.

DasNootz Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 By and large the call-ins are horrendous. It's even worse if you listen to the more than one or two segments per day because the same phone-in hot take will be repeated multiple times. Obviously the real knowledge doesn't wait in a phone queue. It rambles stream of consciousness on TBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s gotta be a bar so low you can’t flow water under it. the afternoon show doesn’t need any callers to continually be the worst ever.. that being said, Kyler Murray is available.

HomeskillitMoorman Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I liked Sal back in his Justin.TV days…and he’s probably a good guy…but the dude is a total homer now. I’m not sure how anyone could deny that. Weird call from that dude though. But I used to listen to WFAN…people that stupid really do exist.
