Maddy admits she committed fraud in college: https://madglab.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/true-life-im-50 "It kind of sucks seeing the world from a low level, but being short definitely has its ups. I still pass as a child anywhere, so I always pay child prices. A year ago when I was in Colorado snowboarding, I passed as a child with my puffy winter jacket and snow pants. The lift ticket was $40 cheaper, completely worth the deal." Here are more pics of how short she is: Is that Josh Allen's younger brother in the last pic?

It might sound counterintuitive, but I have no objection to that. I'm not in the locker room or on the practice field, so I can't really judge if they have the competence to coach well. But as a sports fan who's listened to or watched countless hours of sports on the radio and tv for over 50 years, I feel I can judge if someone has what it takes to be a good broadcaster or reporter.

I feel like I’m listening to a 8 year old girl hosting the show. lol I don’t like listening to her either. What annoyed w is that on Friday they had on Sam Monson of PFF....you know the site that has been notoriously hard on the Bills and Josh Allen all season. Not one question all interview about the Bills or Josh Allen. Just SB talk. I thought that was a crappy vanilla interview. Tasker is to blame probably more than Maddy

Maybe take a look at the guy (it’s always a guy) posting a complaint thread about maddy glab every time he hears her and it offends his football ears. you realize what i highlighted above are exactly how these posters feel about her. I don’t like her because she’s not good at her job.....and her job directly affects something I enjoy......nothing to do with what you highlighted On 1/31/2020 at 10:41 PM, JoPoy88 said: they are being harsh and it’s sad but what can you expect from around here? Have you seen the posts when Mowins calls a game? Have you actually listened to Mowins call a game? You think she’s good?

A lot of Maddy Glad's job is the social media/fluff stuff on buffalobils.com and as far as I can tell she does a perfectly fine job there. Maybe that was the heart of her former job and she's new to the radio show aspect and will grow into it. 15 minutes ago, NewEra said: Have you actually listened to Mowins call a game?

I personally love me some Romo, but even he has been tamed and dialed back to the point where he's not that distinguishable from others. And I know there are folks who dislike him, too.

I read the thread and I saw waaaaaaaaay more people saying that they don’t like her because of her voice than because she’s a woman. Meanwhile, I was replying to a poster saying that we don’t like her because she’s a blonde bimbo. That didn’t make any sense to me and seemed like he’s just throwing **** on the wall to see if it sticks. 1

I mean, she has a woman's voice. Is there really something about her voice that's more objectionable than other women? (I don't find it so, but I'm open to the idea that for some, the answer is genuinely "yes")
YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Female sports media i think are good: Maria Taylor, Erin Andrews, Sam ponder, Laura Rutledge (really knowledgeable), Amy Lawrence, Doris Burke, Hannah storm, Michelle Tafoya, Suzy kolber, Rachel Nichols, cari champion, Jackie McMullen, Ramona shelbourne, Kay Adams ones who annoy me, nothing to do with being female: Mina Kimes, Sarah Spain, Katie Nolan, jemele hill, heather dinich, Charlotte wilder, Mary Kay Cabot 2

Some are not She has a nasally voice with an unpleasant tone.....which many have pointed out.

BillsPride12 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 The biggest problem is she just is not knowledgeable at all about football. Some of the stuff she says you could get that same analysis from a 5th grader. The problem is she is getting paid to do this job. I tuned in briefly to WGR this week when she was filling in and one of her commentaries was and I paraphrase but this is pretty close to that exact quote "The players who made it to the Super Bowl are going to skip out of playing in the Pro Bowl this year and you can't blame them for wanting to do that" and it wasn't being said tongue in cheek either, she was being 100% serious when she made that comment. Once again some of the stuff she says is generic football commentary that you could pay a 5th grader to comment on.

Teddy KGB Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 She’s terrible. Even the white knights in this thread know it.
Gray Beard Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I’m trying to watch Super Bowl pregame. They like to have Erin Andrews on the screen. Talk about annoying nasal voice and totally over rated! I change the channel to avoid her.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I seem to remember when broadcasters all had ‘good pipes’; a broadcast voice and presence that was generally pleasant to listen to. Listen to some of those voices of the younger males over on WGR and you’ll see it’s not just women who have terrible voices.
Commish Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Say what you will about Murphy [I happen to think he's excellent], but he's got a great radio voice.
