3rdand12 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Chuck Pollack deserves mention in this group. Good call . Bentley seems nice enough and know football but doesnt seem to know who is currently on the Bills roster or care. this has been an interesting thread . seems there is something for everyone . I had forgotten about Bob Matthews completely . Oops !
Mango Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I like the local guys but there is a benefit to someone who knows the NFL well, can be objective on the team. I like Pat Kirwan on Movin the Chains. He has an in depth knowledge of the team, can speak to their chances, and does not automatically take sides positively or negatively against the team like most national media. Anyway, Sal is a good guy, but i like hearing these guys as he does not regurgitate the rest of the national media. I also like Polian's take as he has a soft spot for the Bills but is still objective. I don't know how I forgot Kirwin in my first post. He much be my favorite. Although sometimes he sounds like a lame disc jockey with his tone. W-NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-B-C
machine gun kelly Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah, but he's funny how he puts you on the hot seat when you call and asks you the GM questions, "if you want to do this, here is the implication to the cap, who you have to give up, etc." He forces fans to think, but in a respectful way so people have to think through their wish list stuff, or what happens as an implication of their decisions. You don't get that at all on most shows.
harv shitz Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 If you're not from the southern tier, you may not be very familiar with Chuck Pollock's work, but he is as good as anyone anywhere in the print media. I have been reading Mr. Pollocks work since 1974, and will be lost when he steps away from covering the Bills. Check out his articles on oleantimesherald.com. Always has an insightful gameday piece, a detailed post game story, as well as a gameday notebook. He also covers media day, and usually has a Bills column on Thursday. I like to listen to Shredd and Reagen when they talk Bills. I would love to see a new station challenge WGR for sports talk, or see GR make some much needed and overdue changes, notably with new afternoon talent, and the Howard Simon show could use a new spin, also. I miss Bob Gaughan and "The Coach!"
Rico Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Sully is still the king. I also like JW, Pollock, Carucci, and Gaughan.
The Dean Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 The best journalist, who regularly writes about the Bills, is John Wawrow. Hands down. Sully is still the king. I also like JW, Pollock, Carucci, and Gaughan. Sully can write, but he knows squat about football. I thought he might get it after all these years, but it still isn't in his wheelhouse. He does know how to stir up controversy (real or imagined). He is a columnist, he's paid to stir up idiots. I guess he is pretty good at that.
beerme1 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Carucci coming back, I think he fits the title of this thread and saves me making a new one and getting flamed for it. Thank you. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/welcome-back-vic-carucci-20140903
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Vic Carucci was he even mentioned before the news broke?
eball Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah, but he's funny how he puts you on the hot seat when you call and asks you the GM questions, "if you want to do this, here is the implication to the cap, who you have to give up, etc." He forces fans to think, but in a respectful way so people have to think through their wish list stuff, or what happens as an implication of their decisions. You don't get that at all on most shows. I assume you're talking about Kirwan? If so, I agree and like him very much for that reason alone. The callers to these shows are often just a step beyond walking upright, and it's nice to hear a host encourage them to think through their knee-jerk opinions without calling them the mouth-breathers that they are.
ndirish1978 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 was he even mentioned before the news broke? Nope. But I agree, he wins the thread.
