Chris Brown to start season as interim play by play guy

[davefan66]

Paul Dottino covered for Murph in ‘21 when he had Covid. Thought he did a great job.

Wish Murph a great recovery. Prefer him not be the PBP guy. Football knowledge isn’t great. Always behind on the play, calling a first when short. Calling catches when dropped. Can’t figure out the yard line. Maybe it’s him, or maybe it’s his spotters. Either way, prefer a change. Just feel bad it is a stroke that may get him out rod the booth.

I agree with other posters that this icon franchise needs and deserves a top talented PBP guy, not some middler who is handed the job out of loyalty.

Brown surprised me as a PBP guy.  He actually was a pretty good listen - enthusiastic , decent delivery. Better than expected . After hearing him on OBL I expected him to be Dr. Dull. Going forward though, it’s time for a new PBP man. Neither Murph or Brown have a voice/ delivery you could consider iconic. There are only 32 of these jobs in the country; find an elite replacement worthy of the title.

Murph's track record of minimal on air racial and homophobic slurs makes him the top of his profession right now.  You can't just go out and find a guy who doesn't drop the occasional N-bomb on a hot mic.  If you could, everyone would have that guy. 

 

He has yet to give an anatomy lesson like "the Greek"...

When I hear Chris Brown talking about the Bills I make a face like someone slapped me in the nose with a wet fish. 
 

Admittedly, I’m a Homer, and I know it’s his job to be ultra Homer, but I get the same feeling from him as I get hearing Collinsworth schlobber on about the top five qbs. 
 

Also, he’s kind of a bore.

who knew he had a PhD in history and genetics

I think I might watch a game with the volume off and have Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata playing instead.  I just want to feel what it's like to watch to watch a Bills game in a state of despair like some fans do.

The problem is why pay big money for a PbP guy who is on a broadcast hardly anyone listens to?

 

This is why Brown will eventually be the permanent guy. Already on the payroll, lives in the area, and won’t be looking for crazy $$$.

I can’t stand Brown. Not that Tasker isn’t clownish in his own right but at least he was a player and a great one at that and Brown would always come up some kind of stat line contest to make Tasker look more foolish than he already is. I can’t figure out for the life of me on how this little squirrel got any kind of gig with the Bills. He’s just a weasel and now the Bills are giving him more responsibilities??! The Bills have the worse public announcers than any other team that I can think of and that also includes Murphy. Who in the world is making these decisions??! I guess we were all spoiled with Van Miller! What a joy he was to listen to!

It is incredible that Murph sat next to Van for so many years and didn't pick up on many of the things that made Van great.

 

He wast just incredible. Murph is just... terrible.

I guess everyone has their own opinions. I like Brown on OBL. He seems to know a lot about the inner workings of pro football organizations.  I never liked listening to Murphy.

You and I have corrected so many people on their nonsense takes that at this point they are very bitter.

I lived in south Florida for eight years...the dolphins radio broadcast is so embarrassingly bad...so so so bad

 

The first 27 seconds of this is basically what listening to an entire game is like...and they basically never tell you the score, where the ball is or how much time is left...I'd been in the car listening to them for what felt like almost 5-10 minutes before you'd get a score or time update...just brutal!

This is my problem with the current Sabres crew.  I turn the radio on in the car and I have absolutely no idea what the score is for 15-20 minutes.  I've heard them call a goal and then STILL not say what the score is afterwards, unreal.

I was up in Rochester last hockey season and listened to a game on the radio and felt the same way...that said, I'm pretty sure the sabres radio broadcast is the same as the TV broadcast...is that even possible?

Considering number of people let go by ESPN and Buffalo News they should be able to find someone.

CB’s voice for play by play is mind numbing…I don’t think he’s built for that job. There’s no power in his prepubescent tone

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Having lived in multiple NFL markets, I have to say that we have had it pretty good in Buffalo.  Whether it was Van Miller for the Bills or Ted Darling with the Sabres, I had no complaints.  A good PBP guy makes everything about the game and not about him.  A lot of the guys really struggle with that.

Mike Schopp as PBP!  Who’s with me? 😂😂😂
