Thunderstruck Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Wood was never the same after the loss of Levitre, but I'm glad he's back. He's always been a real stand-up guy.

Thought he was awful 23 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: It sounded like it was his choice - Wood said Kelso “had some other things going on”... I seem to remember he has another job but can’t recall if it’s coaching or something else I liked kelso too - especially with his film study, he’s so smart Seemed like Kelso got to the game Sunday mornings and said” hey, there is a game today, cool, who the Bills playing” I think he did zero film study 7 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said: He is part art of a NASCAR team down south and wanted to spend more time with that organization. Kelso was a great guy - very intelligent and seemed to really do an excellent job with film study and knowledge. Think he spend all his time there last year. One last note , EWood came by the TBD tailgate for the Monday nighter last year , had some of @mead107 Stromboli and what critter @CountryCletus was smoking up... when is the last time Kelso ever did that! 1
LabattBlue Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Who cares. Once the blackout rule was lifted, the radio team became irrelevant...and if you have ever listened to Murphy...that was a good thing.

MJS Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Kelso is involved in NASCAR or something like that, right? Probably didn't want to divide his attention anymore.

I haven't listened to a Bills radio broadcast since '70s with Van, Stan and Rife
Irv Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Did not like Kelso. I felt like that, If you never played organized football, he used terms that made it hard to understand. Tasker should be dragged behind a car by a chain. Murph should take some medicine for that chronic bronchitis. Can't wait for Fitz to retire. He will be legendary in the booth.

Instead, he should be given a swirly. No. Make that 2 swirlies, 4 noogies, 7 purple nurples, and then banned from broadcasting. 40 minutes ago, MJS said: Kelso is involved in NASCAR or something like that, right?

Hopefully Wood will stay at the same level as Kelso in his evaluation of the on field happenings & not go in the opposite direction like his new cohort did when Van decided to retire just sayin ?

dpberr Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Substance over style argument here and they are appealing to their demographics. Kelso/Tasker were A+ on the substance but ok on the style. Wood probably has the style and they hope he has the substance. Wood is like the goofy uncle at the barbecue, regaling you of always funny stories. He might shave, might not. Wears Nike slides year round. Kelso/Tasker are like dad's former service friends who haven't laughed out loud since that time in Panama.....during the invasion. Edited May 21, 2019 by dpberr 2
Bubba Gump Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Is there a NASCAR team somewhere that Murphy can join? That overly excited loud mouth of his would be easy to hear over any racing engine. 1

Does anyone know if there is a delay if you do it this way? I’ve tried this before, didn’t work out, I’m in NYC so many times bars will have the game but no sound, tried wearing headphones but the radio broadcast was a solid 1 minute behind. Could be different if you’re in the buffalo area?
Nextmanup Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) This is interesting news. Mark Kelso was outstanding at his job as color analyst and I have no idea why he is not in coaching. He sees things most analysts don't and explain them to the viewer/listener. Having listened to Eric Wood talk a lot on his weekly GR-55 spots, there is no doubt he is quite intelligent and well spoken, way beyond the norm for a pro football player. I think he'll be good, but I question if he truly understands the X and O side of the game on both sides of the ball the way Kelso did. Kelso's old job of free safety set him up well for his color analyst gig; but Eric at center is not bad either. I wonder if Kelso decided he didn't want to do it anymore. I can't imagine he was replaced out of a desire to improve the position. EDIT: So Kelso wants to spend more time doing NASCAR stuff huh? I'm glad he left on his own terms, though I'll miss him.
