bschmoove Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I remember that guy when I was in middle school. Only in Buffalo can a no talent hack stick around in the media for so long and still have a job ... oh wait, I just described most of Buffalo's sports beat writers. Pathetic.

ET1062 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 This could be a game almost like the "count the jelly beans in the jar' game. How many times does Mike DeGeorge say ah or um in this interview? http://wgr550.com/Audio-Archive---Schopp--...Bulldog/1271132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 In TV, wouldn't he had been reading from a tele-prompter? On an interview, obviously that is as "live" as it gets. Other times I've seen him he does do that uh.........thing a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 He makes us ST Joes grads even more proud. I graduated in 78 with him, nice guy, pretty decent at sports, but not really a speaker that I recall, kinda quiet in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 that was really hard to listen to...I kind of feel bad for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET1062 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 that was really hard to listen to...I kind of feel bad for the guy. If he were a police officer who isn't educated in communicatios I would feel bad for the guy. The fact is, this guy is paid by the City of Buffalo to be interviewed and give verbal statements and is he god awful. Another big waste of tax payer money.
