Dare I say Chris Brown is a better PBP man than John Murphy?

[Stanley Lombardi]

He attempts to convey drama with sheer volume, and his quips are prefabricated.  Bring back Murph.

[Goin Breakdown]

The way he EMPhaSIzes drIVES me NUUUts

Mindless hype machine.  Like a hopped up Gus Johnson, without the intelligence.

 

Boom goes the dynamite.

They should replace Woods with Maddy Glab

 

Brown: "Allen drops back, looking for Diggs"

 

Glab: "f***ing a**hole"

 

Brown: "throws it to Diggs..."

 

Glab: "f***ing a**hole"

Makes me think this Mattie Glab person is okay, she has chutzpah,  it would be a land mark duo those two,  😁👍

Agree, had to listen to parts of last couple games on the radio, for most of the time, I had no idea what yard line the ball was at, and some of the time, not even the down. Yesterday, he actually said the yard line..”..on the Bills 38..”..but thankfully Wood in 

his color commentary surreptitiously mentioned the ball was on the Commanders 41.

 

I don’t care if he is excitable or not…but at least get the basics down.

 

At least am not getting Murph’s..”..BIG hole on the right side!!!…stopped after a gain of about a yard…”

Everyone needs to listen to other play by play guys just for perspective. If "sounding psychotic" is a turn-off, you're in for shock.

Yeah yeah yeah we know.

 

Touchdown! Kansas City.

 

Touchdown………Raiders….

 

But someone like Jim Donovan also yells, but it’s a much smoother delivery, without the “he’s hotter than a firecracker!”

 

Merrill Reese comes to mind with the iconic voices.

His voice goes through my head like a spike. I’d take Murph back any day TBH, CB sounds like he’s calling a high school game and he’s one of the students. 

[offyourocker]

I cant stand listening to him and tasker

[K D]

I'm not much of a Chris Brown fan after what he did to Rhianna

Truthfully, just about all "hometown" announcers are brutal.  You hear the clips if you are driving around listening to SiriusXM NFL Radio on Sunday...I cringe at 95% of the touchdown calls.

 

100% this.

I’ve only heard his TD calls on GR and am not sure I could deal with him for a whole game. Van Miller, Jeanneret and even Ted Darling spoiled me. 

 

As sainted as Rick Jenneret was, EVERY and I mean EVERY damn time a Sabre crossed the blue line his voice went up 4 octaves and 20 decibels!  EVERY.  DAMN.  TIME.  That was huge annoying to me.......especially during game 78 in one of the many many rebuilding seasons......

That’s because it was such a huge accomplishment for the Sabres back then.

That’s a good analogy.  It reminds of some college hockey broadcasts I listen to.  The student announcers try to sound like Rick Jeanette at a “10” the entire broadcast.  

[Roundybout]

You like him? He’s irritating as hell. He doesn’t need to go FULL SHOUTING on a pass breakup on 3rd down. 

[bklnpete]

I listen to One Bills Drive with Brown and Tasker. If there's a voice out there that makes me cringe it's not Brown's; It's the Stans from "Chic-towaga" or the Joes from Elma or all the Daves from the Southtowns that call in.

Love Bills fans, cringe at the accents.

I really couldn't care less who does the radio call.   Just wondering why Murph gets little to no love from the fans?   

 

 

 

He was a good Sports Director at WKBW but that didn't translate as a natural pbp man. He kept repeating the same phrases -- "the snaaap" --  and when the play called for excitement, his voice strains and he just doesn't have the pipes.

Love me some Gus

[Da webster guy]

i like all announcers that are bills fans.   loved kelso and murph, Van (duh), and Brownie has great enthusiasm and knows the team better than anyone so he's good for me too.  Eric Wood is awesome in broadcast and mondays on WGR.

 

now i need to figure out how to synch the radio with the tv so i can listen to these guys instead of the TV weenies

Yes but Murph the lesser bad.

It would have been OK if he hadn't started yelling "MAY DAY! MAY DAY" when AJ scored.
