I keep up with Bills news through a few podcasts.  Joe Marino is my daily choice, but I also tune in to One Bills Live and Shout.  Are there others you can recommend?

 

I appreciate the enthusiasm of Maddy Glab...it's clear she loves this team and is quite knowledgable.  However, I prefer listening to Chris Brown and Steve Tasker.  The other day Maddy went on and on about Trey Lance, and the next day spent another 15 minutes or so talking about the 49'ers third backup.  It seems that the callers to that show know just as much as Maddy but sometimes she madsplains stuff we've already heard.

 

I also enjoy Bruce Nolan, who comes up with some strange yet effective analogies about the game of football.

 

Who else should I try?

 

 

Cover1.

 

Most particularly Greg Tompsett and Erik Turner. Ant is good too.

 

They put out an absolute ton of content. I can't listen to anywhere near all of it, I'd overdose. But the best of their stuff is very very good indeed.

 

They do a lot of tape review, so some of it you have to watch as well as listen. But not all, and their tape stuff is often among their very best.

Don't even think about saying anything negative about Maddy Glab on this board. I made that mistake once.  

Even if you are right, just don't say it....you will be sorry.

Her commentary is flawless and she is wonderful 

I am a huge fan....

I think it’s important to understand Maddy’s role. She’s a Buffalo Bills employee doing PR, media relations and one of the faces to the public.  I don’t know that she studied or has any kind of extensive training in the broadcasting field. I’d bet she’s a really kind person who most people would like having as a friend or co-worker. I think her and Tasker have good chemistry on One Bills Live. 
Chris Brown is another one that takes the time to understand the game, players, cap, etc. Very knowledgeable. Just wish he’d learn to shut up when Tasker is talking. He interupts constantly. On some discussions I’m more interested in hearing from Tasker and his perspective as a former player, but Brown is forever cutting him off before we hear Tasker’s complete thought or answer.  Brownie acts like he IS the show and Tasker is little more than his sidekick, a la Ed McMahon. 
But regardless of the minor peeves, it’s great to hear the local talk for us out of towers.

All these podcasts are a HUGE! waste of time can't stand any of them. I just don't like talk shows of any kind especially by these amateur nobodies.:wallbash:

 

That's fine but why bother posting in the thread then? It seems like a waste of time to post about how you don't like talk shows in a thread about talk shows.

Yes, it's not her fault she's a woman. Good observation there buddy. 

 

Don't be a jerk your whole life. For some of us our writing style is to parse what we are going to say.  I guess your are one of those people who's ego needs the fake victory lap of making smart-*ss comments toward other people so you can feel just a bit smarter in your own mind....."buddy"

There all poor today for the most part I don’t listen to any of them because I am old. I know what I see on the field. If I don’t know what I see on the field after almost 50 years watching Buffalo sports in this Buffalo market I mind as well stop watching sports. I know what I am watching I don’t need Buffalo or National sportscasters old enough to be my son or daughter to tell me what I just watched. But Buffalo Super Fan maybe you will learn something? I learn new things everyday but sports wise it never really changes you win or you lose. Once you watched as long as I have you know that is all that really matters in sports that basically concept you either won or you lost. Yes the markets change the game grows but it is still win or lose and one champion yearly nothing else matters in sports in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

My trifecta is Joe Marino (Locked on Bills), Bruce Nolan (The Bruce Exclusive), and the Cover 1 crew (mostly Nate and Anthony). I do have to give a tip of the hat to Howard & Jeremy (it's radio, so does that count 🤷‍♂️). During the whole emergence of Tyrod Taylor, their "Who's the quarterback, thooo?" became Western New York vernacular. Priceless. 

 

I also gotta say, more "Bruce-isms" have crept into my daily life than I realize, until I think about it. My top Bruce-isms are:

 

-Isolate the variable.

-Expectations minus reality equal disappointment.

-Intellectual honesty. 

 

Dude just cranks out catchy sayings like it's his job. Would make a good community college professor, as a side hustle.
