Long Time Bills Fan Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 After YEARS of reading the Two Bills Drive forum, I took the leap of actually registering...for this purpose. John Murphy has the worst on air mannerisms I have ever heard. Worse that Shoop and the Bulldog (individually and collectively). What do we need to do to get some decent Bills radio coverage? 1
Roundybout Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 What do you mean? He seems pretty polite.
Captain Hindsight Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 You don't listen to much radio outside of Buffalo do you? Murph is one of the best. Gets great guests, interviews people well and his game calls are clear. I think he does a great job Go listen to the guys in Cinci. Its atrocious. 1
The Crowing Rooster Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) You mean you signed up to post this. Shame on you John has a great show. Edited December 18, 2017 by The Monk
BillsFan4 Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Schopp is way way worse IMO. Honestly, I dont know if he even realizes that he runs an opinion based call in radio show. He always seems so amazed and pissed off that someone dares call in to his show with a different opinion than his. lol I like John Murphy. I think he always treats the fans who call in with respect, and I generally value his opinion (most of the time, anyway). Edited December 18, 2017 by BillsFan4
PIZ Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 I like listening to Murph and Kelso. After being at games in person, they make me feel like I am there. I wish I could watch the game on tv and listen to them on the radio; I can barely pick them up in PA. 1
billsfan3482 Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Totally agree. Tyrod, the bills, the coaches can do no wrong, EVER. I don't need him talking **** about the bills, but don't act the like the previous 17 yrs didn't happen. Shopp and bulldog may be rude and hang up. But at least they have opinions both ways. When they're good and when they suck. 1

This is a pretty poor take. Murph is regarded as one of the best radio man in the game and one of the few who you don't need to see the game to know whats happening. Listen to other markets and how awful and truly bias their announcers can be. That idiot Scott Zolak is one of the Pats play by play guys and said Tre White deserved to get hit by Gronk because he was holding him. You will never hear crap like that from Murph because he is very fair and will straight up say when the team is crap. Now in regards to his radio/TV show now I think he is a bit too homerism on those, but given the platform its expected. Game wise though he is superb. 8 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said: Schopp is way way worse IMO. Honestly, I dont know if he even realizes that he runs an opinion based call in radio show.

Schopp is probably the single worst radio personality in this area of the state. His arrogance and self-righteousness is astounding and literally why I don't listen anymore. I wish he was replaced years ago. 1
Just Joshin' Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Good example of why new members should post x times before they can start a thread. 1
PABillsfan23 Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Not a big fan of Murph. Love listening to Kelso because he knows the game and explains things very well. Murph is pretty much a Bills propaganda pumper. Never criticizes them for anything. Alawsys defends everything they do for the most part.

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Liked Murph in his old humble radio and cable days, but something happened after he was fired from Channel 4. He seems to have a large chip on his shoulder and his defense of his buddy Russ Brandon at OBD is beyond embarrassing to fans. Edited December 18, 2017 by Jamie Muellers Ghost 1

I listen to his radio show most days, and early in the year when we were 5-2, and everyone was talking playoffs, he was sitting there basically saying that 5-2 doesn't mean anything and that it's a week-to-week league.

Murph has the unenviable task of following Van Miller as voice of the Bills. Not an easy task to begin with, but he handles his job with class. He's good to the fans and players. His show is (as some have said) just a platform for the Bills to put some good PR out...but that's not a bad thing. His game calls are all right, nothing fantastic but not Beth Mowins bad. He's just very average which in my opinion is just fine. 1
jr1 Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 it's hard to fill 15 hours a week about a 3 hour game
Bill Murray Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 i like Murph. Despite the fact that it is his job to be biased (a-la Chris Brown) i think he does a good job of making good points and being balanced, which makes him credible for a Bills-pocket reporter.

HansLanda Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Murphy, Chris Brown, Kelso and Donald Jones work for the Bills. All the other on-air personalities do not.
