Buftex Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 My least favorite WGR personality is Paul Hamilton. Actually, I like Hamilton, if only because he is one of the few guys at the station who ever offers much insight into the "behind the scenes" workings of the Bills and Sabres. I will say, however, I like him much more for Sabres coverage. I just feel that he, along with all the other GR guys, really don't have any exclusive access (at least that they are willing to share) and insight into the Bills. They see what all of us see, nothing extra....I think GR is cheap, which is why the force Hamilton (definitely a "hockey guy") to cover the Bills. He is way better at covering the Sabres...I kind of like his sardonic style too!
Very wide right Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Sorry but I have trouble listening to Murphy, hes way too partisan and constantly makes mistakes during the game broadcast.There are better guys out there.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 7-28: REX RYAN ON THE JOHN MURPHY SHOW (11:33) As the 2016 training camp opens the Bills have several questions; like Sammy Watkins health, teams improvement, and Tyrod growing in the offense.Rex on 2015 QB competition - that was an experience. We had to make the right decision, and we did.Rex on Tyrod - this is his teamRex on defense in 2016 - we're gonna be further along than we were last year... We replaced a lot of guys, but the commitment is fantasticRex on WR battle - I was impressed with certain guys. We want guys who will separate themselves. Competition will be good there.Rex - we have each other, and also a TON of fans. We do the night practices for the fans. It's unique for us 7-28: KIM PEGULA ON THE JOHN MURPHY SHOW (16:00) Pegula - I didn't know what to expect at camp last year, but it was great to interact with people and it was a great time.Pegula - what I really enjoy about camp is talking to the players and fans at a more personal level.Pegula - We have a great facility at St. John Fisher. It's a long season, allows players to get away from the stadium and interactPegula - Winning. That's what we expect from the upcoming season.Pegula on MSG WNY - I'm so excited about it. We want a one-stop shop for all of our fans. Allows us to expand our coverage #Bills #SabresPegula on My One Buffalo App - we should be exercising the plusses of Buffalo.

bbb Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Not sure if you are being facetious (I think you probably are), but I may be one of the few people who actually liked Dickersons' show. I thought he was a major a-hole more often than not, but he was one of the very few Buffalo Bills radio coverage people who ever really offered any real insight to the actual games. I know Kelso has a decent grasp too, but he only does the games (which I don't listen too, as I am watching them in some gin mill every Sunday), so you just get a lot of people with very varying degrees of knowledge blabbering on about nothing most of the time. I personally don't even hate Schoop and Bull Dog, but they are probably the worst people they could have doing the Bills post-game show. It is un-listenable...especially when the team is losing...I can take Schoops musings during the week, but I don't want to hear that after the game. They need more knowledgeable football guys. Well, I was making a joke because it would never happen. But, they would be the two ends of the spectrum. Both with blinders on - one of them all hate, and one of them all love...............I hated Dickerson despite his knowledge. But, I don't like Murph's show because it might as well be Baghdad Bob. Totally agree about S &BD - I am OK with them when I hear them during the week, but the post game is horrible. I actually usually turn it off and turn it back on when Sal comes on after them. They don't want to be there, and I don't want to hear them.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 7-29: TYROD TAYLOR ON THE JOHN MURPHY SHOW (11:15) Taylor - I take pride in going out there in being a leader. #BillsTaylor - This time of year it's getting out there and throwing as much as possible. Gotta be prepared and stay in shape #BillsTaylor - Last year was unique. I had to prepare myself mentally for a QB competition and physically for the rest of the season... #BillsTaylor - I'm excited going into camp this year as the starter. It will be a big year for our team #BillsTaylor - to finish last year with a win was huge. We showed thing we could build on for this year. I'm excited to see what we can do #BillsTaylor - As an offense, we have to prepare ourselves to go out there and do whatever it takes to win games #BillsTaylor - my focus, dedication won't change. I'm looking forward to the opprtunity and we're excited as a team to see what we can do #Bills
bbb Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 So, the 7-9 slot is filled by a 24 year old kid who seems like he's just going to play most of the John Murphy show over.
Buftex Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 So, the 7-9 slot is filled by a 24 year old kid who seems like he's just going to play most of the John Murphy show over. Perfect, the "new and improved" 3-hour John Murphy show, culled down to two hours!
Kemp2Warlick Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I rarely listened in on the 7-9 slot...but now I'll listen often...I hated Jim Rome

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 So, the 7-9 slot is filled by a 24 year old kid who seems like he's just going to play most of the John Murphy show over. it will take him a bit to get his legs under him but he should do alright, besides I heard about the "new" Aggie fight song from him, well worth the read gentleman. http://thecomeback.com/ncaa/texas-am-has-a-football-chalk-talk-for-women-and-its-really-sexist.html
bbb Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 He probably will get much better. It seems so low budget though - because he has to answer his owns calls. You'd think they'd spring for one producer or whatever to help him out.
harv shitz Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Great guests for the first show, wish it was Sal's show thou I will second that. Sal, in my opinion, is far and away better to listen to than anyone else on GR anymore. He has a great knowledge of what he's talking about, and his voice is clear and precise. Some of their reporters voices are just grating to me.
