NewEra Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I’m really in awe that people still listen to them. You do realize, if no one listens to them, they will be replaced.....right? 3 hours ago, Dougy84 said: I can't believe how in the minority I am.

I listen to the podcast of the morning show most days but can only handle 2 hours then it gets repetitive. Mike Schopp always sounds miserable and is always sarcastic to callers. Chris Parker is good though You enjoy listening to miserable people huh? He’s not sarcastic to callers. He’s just an idiot. I don’t get it 1
Bangarang Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 The best time to listen to WGR is immediately after a loss. 1

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Like I said in another WGR thread, I really can't believe people still listen to that station, there is so much better out there from podcasts to sirius radio. If you stop listening they will find replacements. 2
Richard Noggin Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 White is a smart, witty guy in a general way. He's sharp. But, like Mike Schoop, who is also bright, he has arbitrary and uncompromisingly progressive approaches to NFL team-building that don't always align with reality. Schoop, in particular, refuses to temper his desk-jockey, fantasy-fueled infatuation with stats and analytics. He completely dismisses the complex human components of roster building and development. Which doesn't work with football, in my opinion. Measurable talent and past production are important, but there are so many variables, and so many reasons why some players progress and others don't, and why some teams persist while others unravel. Howard is a nice guy but doesn't seem to have any expertise about sports or Buffalo teams in particular. He might have at some point. But Jeremy carries him. If we were in a Mets market he'd be better suited. The guys they interview and bring in are worthwhile: Paul Hamilton is a snore but knows hockey. Sal C and Joe B offer better insight on the Bills and the NFL landscape in general than any of the hosts. 5

As do a lot of people on the internet, especially these forums. So many GR haters on these forums wanting confirmation bias content on the radio as well, my goodness. You have Murph and Tasker to fill the homer ache in your hearts, that should be enough. The reason these "morons" still have radio shows is because more people listen to them than not, pretty simple...

No I'm not employed by Wgr, just a big fan! I’m a sales rep and I’m in my car all day and love these guys. Yes , I disagree with what they saying at times but mostly they are entertaining. If they have horrible takes i turn the channel and come back later. The programming between 10-3 is tough to stomach cause they are boring as hell. 1
mcdamit Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 started off with Wide receivers today as well. It is fine to say the They need to be better but they offer no solutions.

He clearly isn't paying attention to the Bills or at least taking them seriously. While national guys that do, are. this is why i only listen to onebillslive. everything else is sabressabressabres bla,bla, f...ing bla. then of course the day after the draft the instigators can't give up any time. how bote dat eh?

These people's opinions, I have learned over the years, literally mean NOTHING. You or I are much smarter than any of these hosts when it comes to the NFL (or any sport we like). And that right there is the entire premise of the Dan Le Batard Show w/ Stugotz You might actually get the show! Seriously, if you listen to Le Batard Show with that in mind you're in on the inside joke and will get it.
MikeSpeed Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I like the morning guys. They each have their opinions, but they do their best to be respectful of others. Not always easy with some of the callers they get. The afternoon guys to me seem very condescending to callers. Almost like they are annoyed that someone would have the gall to bother them. I have never called into a radio show. Probably never will, but I would never call the afternoon show.
Gordio Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I listened to them briefly this morning & could not agree more with the Big Blitz. Usually listen to Sirius sports talk on one of the sports channels going into work but decided to flip on GR to see what the guys had to say about the draft. Big mistake. They dismissed Sills really quick, saying they had no chance of making the team. Obviously they never seen the kid play. This kid knows how to get open & knows how to find the end zone. I am not going to say he definitely makes the team but to dismiss before even mini camp is moronic. Howard said that the Pats/Cleve/Indy/SD/KC will definitely have a better record than us & Houston probably so there goes the playoffs. Simon has turned into a hack, he treats the Sabres with kid gloves & treats the Bills like sh*t. Anybody that has followed these two teams know the Bills are light years ahead in their development compared to the Sabres who are an absolute joke. I don't know, my fault for listening to them this morning I guess. 1
