First and foremost his voice makes it sound like he just had 3 xanax before the podcast and secondly he cant get off the Josh Allen stuff. He actually drags Joe down a bit. Just no enthusiasm on that pod once so ever. The Locked on Pod is a good listen albeit a bit formulaic. He is very hard on Sean McDermott due to an altercation they had last year. McDermott took issue with something he wrote and really tore into him at OBD. I think there’s resentment on both sides and sometimes you can hear it in press conferences 7 hours ago, Mrbojanglezs said: Thought his podcast was common knowledge? I also recommend Cover 1 podcast, Bruce Nolan podcast, Buffalo Beat (joe B on Athletic) podcast as well.... You really do not need to listen to WGR much if you listen to the podcasts Bruce Nolan is tremendous. Just wish he would be himself instead of the Jim Carrey character from Bruce Almighty. 1
HappyDays Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I will also endorse the podcast. I've tried some of the other Bills podcasts out there and they're just too disjointed for me to enjoy consistently. I listen to Joe Marino's every day because he genuinely makes really good points and he knows a lot about college players and the rest of the NFL. Worst part of the podcast IMO is Twitter Tuesday because some of the questions sent in are terrible, but still a hundred times better than drunk WGR callers.

("ayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay doh-no wadda mayka dis team"). I will say that by far best thing on WGR is in fact any show with Eric Wood on. He's great. He is so sorely missed on the game broadcasts.

Joe Ferguson Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I like listening to most of these podcasts. https://player.fm/podcasts/Buffalo-Bills

Monday - Victory Monday Tuesday - Twitter Tuesday - Answer questions Wednesday - Preview of Game ahead Thursday - Cross over - Have a discussion with Opposing team writer Friday - Final Thoughts, Injuries, Predictions (not just W/L) Tuesday is now 'Herd Mentality' and he has a great podcast.

Strong voice, concise thoughts and his draft/player evaluation background gives his opinions insight that most of the others lack. Opinionated = interesting while pigheaded = annoying. One of his best takes was on DJ Metcalf. While the whole NFL community dropped him down in 2019 he kept him top 5, I think. His evals of Bills picks often fall in line with where Beane actually ended up taking them. He is a professional at podcasting. It is one of his gigs. He does Draft Dudes (also excellent!) and Locked on Bills podcasts and writes for the Draft Network. No other jobs. He is a pro!! Edited October 26, 2020 by TDRupp

PromoTheRobot Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I started listening this season. Was desperate from something other than WGR.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I like Joe’s take on most things with the Bills. He does a great job of not being a blind loyalist and yet he is also a fan and feels the pain after a loss. Smart and articulate. Honestly if you like the Bills his podcast is a must. They usually are 40 minutes or less.
Paul Costa Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I don’t miss a episode. Good guy. Big bills fan ,knows the game especially with draft stuff! I live in Connecticut so it’s great to help keep me updated on the team. He lives in Charlotte so I guess it doesn’t matter where you live. 😀
NI Bills Fan Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I listen to Joe Marino's pod every weekday morning, it drops just in time for my morning work commute. As a fan from across the pond, I feel much more informed these days having listened to it regularly. Like someone else mentioned above... he's really polished and could well end up doing something bigger/national someday.
JESSEFEFFER Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Just heard that he will have a segment on WGR at 8AM for those not familiar with him. Much better as a guest than say John Clayton. You know, national types that know nothing of the Bills actual roster or the situation with their franchise.
