He should know the rules and abide by them. In this case he should speak in generalities. Talk about certain players playing really well and others struggling, but don't mention who they like up with. Most of the other media people are managing. Training camp has begun and the season is approaching. This is the time when there should be a greater degree of discussion about the team. He has a radio show that is on five times a week and is on for two hours a day. What is he supposed to talk about? Being bland is one thing but completely snoozing your audience away makes no sense. If the rules are to be strictly followed then he shouldn't be doing a daily radio show about the Bills and as an employee of the Bills. This is akin to a person who has had his penis amputated and then makes a daily trip to the local whorehouse. What is the point!!!!????
Richard Noggin Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 The information he shared live WAS quite detailed and definitely violated the team's 2020 reporting rules. There is no question there. Unfortunately, Brown was fairly concise and well-spoken, and balanced out Tasker's rambling, recursive speech patterns on the air. I've always been a Chris Brown fan in that respect. Hopefully he comes back. 4

Why would they? They don't care if it is tough to talk about the Bills for three hours a day. They also don't care if there is a show at all. They are focused on getting ready for the season. And if you are part of the media, you have to follow the rules, even if it makes your job hard.
Brand J Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Never used to care for Brown because I thought he was always too rosy about the Bills, but in the last few years I’ve noticed those rose colored glasses started to come off. He started to have more of an opinion and actually criticized some areas. I LIKED that Chris Brown, so I am sad to see he’s been suspended for reporting relatively mundane news, I don’t think that specific content should be in violation of the team’s mandate, but that’s another issue. 1
TheFunPolice Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) It's strange, because that was the type of reporting that happened every training camp. Who is lining up where? Who is getting first team reps? How do the rookies look? It keeps sports media and fans talking about your team and building excitement for the season. Now you can't say anything except "they practiced this morning" and if you're too specific about that it's probably a no-no. I'm more worried about the marketing team quitting all at once. It seems like once again something is going on behind the scenes. Edited August 27, 2020 by TheFunPolice 2
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 If true that he divulged too much info, it probably wasn’t malicious or defiant. More likely, it was a force of habit. 3
machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Training camp today. See you tomorrow. 1

And maybe those who were complaining about the Pegulas ability to run a business rather than just be a talented geologist weren't haters or wearing tin foil hats. Maybe there is some credence to what they were saying.

A few years ago after that Cleveland debacle he told Tasker off on that daily show when Steve was poo pooing some things. Brownie was having nothing to do with it and flat out said it was a horrible performance and that things had to change. I think murphy filled his depends because he just sat and winced.
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 They are making an example of him as a message to the rest of the media. Pretty silly really. Cody Ford working both positions on the right side is news? I think he got caught up doing a live report like he has done for over two decades.and had no one there besides Tasker to restrain him. Instead Steve was probing for more info. The Cleveland Browns have been live streaming and they do not show any view of their formations outside the tackles. Seems reasonable. As for Chris Brown I think he does his job well but slipped by not checking himself during a live segment. He reflexively did did what his training and experience had conditioned him to do. He was making the show better, imo. 2
YoloinOhio Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I might actually listen today. Throwback to “Douz and Donts” with Leger Douzable?

He was making the show better, imo. I agree. He was pretty detailed, but his detail was also super useless information. I live out of market now and don't listen to Chris Brown much, so I don't know how much of this has been common the last few weeks. It feels like this could have been solved by a slap on the wrist/warning first, rather than toast a guy who has been a nothing but a company man since 2006. Cody Ford might be RG or RT. If he is RG Williams will be RT if RT Winters is RG....real ground breaking stuff that no other scout in the NFL would have been able to pick up this off season. Davis and Hodgins rotate in at the bottom of the depth chart with the 1's. It would be wild if they didn't. It has been reported that Davis has been having a tremendous camp and is a lock to make the 53. Hodgins has also been great with tremendous upside and potential. More than likely to make the roster. So why wouldn't they be getting looks with the 1's? Hopefully Gregg Williams doesn't light us up after that wonderful insight. DL Rotation- This one is probably the most insightful in terms of opponent preparation. Trent Murphy getting most of the reps at LE over Mario Addison. For those who thought he might be cut to save cap space, looks like that might be wrong. Hughes was always going to be starting RE. It was already reported that Epenesa has been rotating all over the line during camp. Also McD seems to have a history of rookies having to "earn it" through their rookie years before they are in a starting role. So seeing AJE with the second team rotating through the positions is not anything crazy.

Murphy, Glab, Tasker and Brown are marketing employees, nothing more, it’s amazing that so many here don’t get that. And yes, media is marketing for all team employed reporters. Everybody knows this. This is why it is ironic they can him for actual reporting (on a completely useless piece of info) and not marketing.

That isn't true in the slightest. Chris Brown has been the same as he always has been.

A suspension seems a bit extreme for a first offense. I wonder if he's been warned before. Obviously something happened as this is probably the time of year that he would ordinarily be most visible. As a fan, I'm feeling rather starved for information as it only seems to come in dribbles as compared to the flow of ordinary years. I would think they warned him at least once or that there are some other extenuating circumstances. We don’t know for sure, but it would take some extreme institutional incompetence to result in the following situation: A reporter employed by the Bills whose job it is to report on the Bills does not know the rules, breaks them and is consequently suspended for violating them. Without some evidence of that I’m going with a reporter not taking some rules seriously and getting carried away. It really appears as though he violated the rules so I have a tough time thinking the Bills were looking for an excuse to fire him. Does anyone know if this is something he has been doing or if it was the first time? Edited August 27, 2020 by BarleyNY

Your still not getting it, they are employees that have restrictions on what they are allowed to talk to the public about concerning their employers company, it is that cut and dry. 1
