ndirish1978 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 This guy could stop an interview in it's tracks like no other, but Murphy is awful so it won't mean I'm listening any time soon.

BobChalmers Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 So apparently no one here can grasp the concept of a "company show" where you get some perspective from people aligned with OBD. This is right up there with the people who complain that Chris Brown's take is too pro-management - as if they are confused by who he works for. These guys are useful b/c while they have to keep things controlled and occasionally close-to-the-company-line, they are the easiest way for us to find out what the company line is!! 1
blacklabel Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I had last summer off work and would flip on the JM Show on MSG for background noise while doing stuff around the house. Thought DJ got better with experience and it was interesting to hear things from a recent players perspective. He shared some fun stories about some of the guys he played with here. But yeah, commuting back and forth from Jersey every weekend sounds like a grind. Especially during winter. Sal C would be a great co-host if he doesn't already have enough on his plate. Have him and Murph with former players stepping in as a third host every now and then.

Das RAYSIS man!
BBills88 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 With the news today Maybe we can see if that is something Eric Woods would like to do
aceman_16 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I do not listen to WGR live (other than for games) BUT I do cherry pick segments on-demand that have interesting guests on and ALWAYS Sal's segments. I could be down for Sal being on the show.
Heavy Kevi Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Put Eric on. Would make me pay attention to it, and I don't now. Or somebody beloved (like freddy or kyle when he retires), not a mediocre receiver who was only here for 2 sips of coffee. I have no interest in Jones, they might as well have had Gibran Hamdan on. Look at Sabres, Biron has made their stuff watchable again.
Steptide Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Jones gave some decent insight on the game of football. I remember after the Carolina game this year where zay dropped the catch at the end, he gave a great breakdown of that play and why it wasn't necessarily tyrods fault (Tyrod was taking almost all the blame) Having said that, he's not the greatest talker, and sometimes I feel like Murph hates his life working next to him. I definitely like(d) the idea of having him with Murph. Gave us a younger voice and an ex player which was kinda cool at times
CuddyDark Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Murph seems to have good chemistry with Lorenzo Alexander. I'd like to see him get the job after his final season. 1
Beast Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I’d rather listen to Mike Schopp than John Murphy. That’s how bad I think Murphy is.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I wish Sal could host. I can't listen to Murphy.
mjd1001 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I thought Donald Jones was OK at the job...I think he gradually got better as time went on. He didn't bother me as much as others on this board. I do wonder about Murphy and how long he will do the show. He is 63...while not 'old', 5 days a week of the show and the prep he does during the season is a lot for some people.
NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I can see Lorax being the guy once he's done.

I don't speak jive, so pardon my confusion. You say the old white non-athlete is a "naïve idealist". Then you say the young retired black athlete should "do this for a greater purpose", which is...."whose [sic] got my money? I do it for that money". Is that the "greater purpose" that the show would be missing without the young retired black athlete?

This is a ridiculous conversation but your point seems to suggest, they only pay the black athlete?
MAJBobby Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 In light of Recent News if Eric Wood wont replace Juan Castillo as an OL Coach have him replace Jones with Murph
LabattBlue Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Jones couldn't put two coherent sentences together on that show if his life depended on it. Very often, he'd just rehash what was said minutes prior. I didn't know he was going back and forth and didn't even live here in WNY. Gone and forgotten.

Is that the "greater purpose" that the show would be missing without the young retired black athlete? Maybe something got lost in translation. Murph is very old school. Too old school to be left alone as the sole voice of a show. That show needs a voice from a person with a younger on the ground perspective. so when Murph can’t understand why 20 year olds like to celebrate after Touchdowns a former player who is still youthful can give that view point. And with other subjects as well. murph has lost touch of the modern day athlete and speaks from a perspective from a past era. Its good counter balance programming for a sports show.
The Tomcat Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I liked Donald Jones. I learned a lot from him. Seems like I'm in the minority but I like him.
