bill in Livonia Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 . I hate Steve Tasker and after today's game I have decided that the TV volume will be muted and I will listen to the radio broadcast. I am ashamed that he was ever a Bill. I'm serious. On the contrary, I like Tasker and he has a right to his opinion even if it is contrary to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frez Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Tasker really sounds like a Buffalo Bills hater when he announces the games. It makes me ill when he does the Buffalo games. Tasker needs a good ass kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 So Tasker is dead to us becuase he tries hard not to be a homer? His entrie tenure as a Bill is for naught....because he wont give the Bills a ball-washing and shake pom poms? A have some dirty windows that need cleaning. Guys?

As an announcer Tasker is OK. As a football player, no one played harder . I do not know him personally but have heard nothing but good things about him.

pBills Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Seriously.This guy was a key element in our super bowl run. So he struggles with announcing. BFD!! He is a buffalo bills legend and really should be treated as such. I know a lot of people on here are mad at him and won't change their minds no matter what I say, but just try and remember how this guy just laid it on the line for us fans back in the day. And did someone on this thread actually compare him to paul mguire? Gimme a break. Mcgurie was a punter no? I won't even start with how inane that comparison is. Honestly, I think he is an awful announcer and does overcompensate. But that would never affect the positive memories I had of him back when we were going to super bowls. But that is just me HVBF 878231[/snapback] Ok, so he was a special teams guy when the Bills went to the Superbowls. Does that automatically mean we have to love him? Ummm, negative. So treat him better even though he doesn't even call a game evenly, never mentioning anything positive about the Bills? Please. All in all he was a great special teams player nothing more? Was great at tackling, was great at the hard hits... he was our Rudy. So relating him to McGuire is no problem to me... after all both of them were, again, on special teams. Memories are just that.... memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Steve Tasker wasn't a great special teams player. He was probably one of the top five special teams players to ever play the game. And his loyalty as a player was unquestioned. As far as his announcer skills.....you don't know how he was asked to call the game. He may have specifically been asked to remain neutral or even pro Tennessee. The broadcast producer makes the calls there. Besides, it's not his job to root for the Bills, no matter how much he may want to. It's his job to call the game the way the producer wants, and if he doesn't, he won't have a job for long. Ok, so he was a special teams guy when the Bills went to the Superbowls.

Mike in Syracuse Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Steve Tasker may not be the best announcer in the CBS stable but this "I hate Tasker" stuff is childish and idiotic. He's a class guy and a legendary special teams player for this Bills. The guy is being paid to do commentary for a national sports network. He isn't being paid to be John Murphy.

He's not being paid to hate on the Bills. Ever hear him say anything positive about the Bills during a broadcast? I haven't. He goes out of his way to hammer on them in order not to appear like a homer. Hey Steve, a compliment once in a while would sure be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#89 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I wish I could have listened to Tasker call the game like the rest of you BUT I was AT the game. Send me the tape so I can actually listen to what has your panties in such a twist. Tasker is still wonderful in my book and my favorite player since the first time I met him. He was a powerful, skilled player that made plays without all the dancing and look at me stuff that the players do now. Nate should just play the game he gets paid to do and stop that blessed dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 with all due respect before the Titans won the game he said as long as Vince Young is on the field they can win the game and they have the upper hand with the big play capabilities, and it turned out Tasker was true. That can't be it. I'm sure he didn't run for a 40+ yard TD with 2 seconds left in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggins Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Is there an announcer that anyone on this board likes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I compare Tasker to Bill Maas, a well respected player who revealed himself an idiot after becoming a commentator. To them, I give the following: "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." -- Mark Twain ...
