‘The year was 1984 and the unforgettable gravelly voice of Stan Barron was forever silenced by cancer. “Free Form Sports” on WBEN was appointment radio if you weren’t watching a game. Barron had the guests, the scores, the chatter, even played some music every so often. It had been that way since the ’60s and now he was gone. The station made a bold move. It hired a 27-year-old who was working at his hometown WLVL in Lockport. “WBEN One-on-One Sports with John Murphy” was born and so was a new voice in Buffalo radio.’

5 questions emerging after the Buffalo Bills minicamp
‘It was not a pleasant development that Bosa injured his calf during the OTAs and has been sidelined the bulk of the spring. He has been in the NFL nine seasons, all with the Chargers, and in only three did he play in 16 games.

‘”You want to know exactly what I see? Man, that shit trash,” Coleman said of what he put on tape in 2024, via the team’s official website. “You gotta be more efficient here.

You got to get that extra effort on the touchdown block so if [James Cook] breaks it, he goes up the sideline. Just different things like that. Calling out everything that you’re doing wrong to make it right.”‘
