Bangarang Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Murphy was tough to listen to but Brown and Glab aren’t any better. 5
MJS Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Brown is awesome, but Glab is useless. Edited May 21, 2020 by MJS 17
JinxedBill Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I like brown but glab is not my cup of tea. She seems more drama, backstory focused rather than football x and o focused as I like. To each their own I guess Edited May 21, 2020 by JinxedBill 1
die hard bills fan Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Murphy and Tasker were hard to listen to but feel bad for Murphy. He is very passionate about the bills and gotta be a big disappointment for him. Only way I can see him wanting to leave if it was a health issue. Brown is awesome as adds insight but wonder if he will be pulled away from practices and not know as much now. Glab is ok, adds youth. 4

Sounds like it was mutual, but he mentioned wanting to have more time with his family, including his grandson. 1
Bad Things Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I know that he has his distractors on this board, but I always like John Murphy and am very sad to see him go. The last season or two with Tasker has been brutal though. Chris Brown? No thanks. Although he can provide good info, I find that he projects this "know it all" attitude that is hard for me to swallow. 2 1

It's the right time for Murph to leave the day-to-day grind. IMO, his heart hasn't been in it in recent years. Like most older guys, it gets harder and harder to be motivated and not just phone it in (i.e., Vic Carucci, Peter King, Chris Berman, me, myself and I, etc). Back in the day, One-On-One Sports was the gold standard of radio sports talk. It's a shame that younger fans never got to hear Murph when he brought his "A" Game--which was every bit as good as any national host--every night. Those were special times that I'll always remember fondly... Edited May 21, 2020 by Lurker 5
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Glab’s voice is really, really annoying. Sounds like a cat torturing contest. 3 2 1

I don’t usually listen to the radio feed, but when I do I get the impression that he still does a pretty damn good job with the play-by-play
Last Guy on the Bench Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I guess I'm in the minority, but I still really like Murph and over the last few years I've gotten many hours of enjoyment listening to the show while taking my walks. I'm even pretty fond of Tasker, though I admit his sentences often change direction in pretty perplexing ways. Brown often has good insight, so I enjoy him in short bursts. I'm a little skeptical about listening to him for three hours at a time, though. Guess we'll see. 12 2 2
thenorthremembers Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) People who are paid to talk about football should know about football. Maddy Glab doesnt know football, she also has very little knowledge on Bills' history. Unless of course you think "Dan" Beebe was one of the better Bills wideouts. I liked Murphy and Tasker a lot. I think it was en vogue to hate them and became a bit of a thing over time. I'll take Murphy and his historical knowledge of the team going back to the AFL days, and Tasker with his stories about the 90's team over Brown and Glab any day of the week. Also reading the article, its pretty obvious it wasn't mutual. To me it sounds like Murphy wanted to take the down time of the year off completely and only work during Training Camp and the season. "It was mutual, I guess" "They wanted to take the show in a different direction." etc. Edited May 21, 2020 by thenorthremembers 4 2

But even that's slipping as he gets older. Radio talk was where he made his bones and no one in Buffalo has ever been better since the WBEN hay days... 2
Beast Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I can't remember the last time I listened to this show. I found John Murphy to be smarmy. Good riddance.
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 No mention of Tasker leaving - so a 3 person show?

LabattBlue Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Glab with her nails on a chalkboard squeaky 12 year old voice will make listening impossible. Edited May 22, 2020 by LabattBlue 1 2
