PromoTheRobot Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've been extremely critical of WGR in the past but this last hour has been some of the best Buffalo sports radio I've heard. Signing the Bills has made them so much better to listen to. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hater Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said this morning that the team is planning to make waves with a free agent signing or two that makes the league take notice, and that once those big deals are done, the Bills will be done and moving on to preparing for the draft. "Free Agent Signing that Make the League Take Notice" Buddy gave me no hope after listing to his interview on WGR I don't think he knows what aggressive means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 ...or maybe it helps that the same ole' on-air staff(Simon, White, Riter, Schoop & Bulldog) are not part of the program. Gotta say, I like Howard Simon, but since he has been on vacation, I like Jeremy White a lot more...normally I find him extremely irritating. When he was on with Riter this morning, or with Joe Bucsalia (who is good), White is much funnier and tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) "Free Agent Signing that Make the League Take Notice" Buddy gave me no hope after listing to his interview on WGR I don't think he knows what aggressive means Obviously, you, and the PFT writer for that site did not listen very closely to what Nix said. He did not say "we will be out of the FA market by Friday"...he said "we would like to be out by Friday, but that doesn't mean to say if there is someone out there who can help us after that, we wouldn't be interested." He was talking euphemistcally. In other words, "ideally, we could just go out, get all the guys we want at 4pm today, and then move on to the draft"... but he knows that isn't likely to happen...he even said that!!! I can see why Schoop hates talking to "listeners" so much. They listen, but they don't hear! As for the tweet, sited in the article, to me, it reads, "we got our guys targeted, and hopefully we get them signed right away"....

richNjoisy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've been extremely critical of WGR in the past but this last hour has been some of the best Buffalo sports radio I've heard. Signing the Bills has made them so much better to listen to. PTR Listening in from 'joisy - I agree - it's been a great listen. I agree with Tim that Buddy gives you straight talk . But this will be a competition and even the FO's best offer might not be good enough even if it is the highest. Mario's (if he is the target and I think he is) - in a great position to choose not only how much but where. I believe our main $$ competition will be the Bears. Playing opposite Peppers has got to be an incentive. If the Cheatriots get involved, then it will be taking less money to play there. The Bills , I think, need to outbid the Bears and convince Mario to take it. As to Vincent Jackson - is he worth $13-$14 million? Maybe. -RnJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 You have a point. 'GR needed some fresh blood. PTR PTR don't know how often you listen, but Joe Buscalia has been on GR for a while...he has been their sort of "in-house" Bills guy for a few years...he just doesn't have a regular daily show, so you don't hear as much from him. Now that they have the Bills games, I assume he will be getting more air time. Hopefully, they get to the point where Paul Hamilton can just stick with hockey (his strong suit), and Buscalia just with football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Great line up today and Joe B and Tim were great. Best Bills talk in awhile. I agree that since Joe B has taken over for Paul the talk about the Bills is a lpt better and more interesting. Paul's first love is hockey and they'd be talking hockey in September and it was awful. Joe B loves football and the Bills and is knowledgeable and researches things quite well. I like Jeremy and Howard in the morning but agree Schopp and Bulldog have been hard to listen to during most football seasons and so negative and the Bills are moving and terrible blah blah blah although I felt this past season was better. I was skeptical about them taking over the Bills games and being the Bills' station although it certainly makes 100% sense but I have been very pleasantly surprised and it is a much more natural fit than 97 rock. Kudos to Joe and Tim today on a great show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Buddy on now! Buddy says there will be a number of "shocker" cuts, at 4pm eastern, as teams try to get under the salary cap...so the list of available FA's right now, could change dramatically at 4pm!

Beerball Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Brandon: ”We plan on being aggressive and resources will not be an issue whatsoever. And we will be out there trying to do our best to bring players into Buffalo that are the right fit. It takes two to tango and we’ll see how it all comes out.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anyway to listen live? You mean other than going to the website and clicking on the "Listen Live" button? Yup Im dumb You're not dumb, they are just mean! Two things can be equally true. It's possible Captain Hindsight is dumb AND that KD is mean… in fact it's probable on both counts. This is an interesting interview. Buddy's words give me hope for this week. Carl Mauck as your avatar? I wish we had a GM with balls Buddy Nix has none Speaking of being dumb… yeah he's one of 32 NFL GMs, a football guy with every fiber of his body but he has no balls. About once a year I call someone a name on this forum. You are an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
