Bills Media Critic Maddy Glab

[jethro_tull]

In short, she's awesome and does an excellent job.  Listening on One Bills Live with Tasker and she is knowledgable, super articulate in a classic DeeJay kind of way and passionate about sports and the Bill as Harry Cary used to say.  

The Bills are lucky to have her, hope she stays but probably won't.  ESPN for sure.

Sadly, no matter what she does here she will likely always be remembered for her "behind the scenes" takes.

Glad you enjoy her. But I don't ever hear her say anything that's remotely insightful and I watch a fair number of the official Bills videos and listen to the Brown/Tasker show a lot and she often fills in for one of them.

 

To each his or her own.

This seems suspiciously like a Maddy Glab TBD burner account…

She's not bad. She's lucky that nothing came of her snafu with the leaked Diggs audio besides some bad press.

 

ESPN for sure though? I'd doubt she's even on their radar.

Does ESPN even have a radar anymore? I think it got scrapped during the budget cuts.

There are going to be people that will take that and run with it and others that brush it off.

 

I'm sure it has happened plenty of times, not just with the bills but in media in general.

 

I don't hold anything against her for what she said but at the same time, she's not exactly great at her job other than offering puff pieces (that I do watch anyways) because it's bills content.

[Since1981]

Please. She’s employed by Pegs (Kim). There are plenty of reporters and insightful media figures. I’m NOT picking on a woman (see Jenna Cottrell for a very solid local). **Tasker’s insight comes from his occupation was ST superstar

 

Maddy is lucky to be employed by an employer that is a local monopoly. Her ratings would force change at a competitive media outlet.

I can’t imagine her ever getting a national on-camera gig. Her voice is just a tad regional. Fortunately, her thick Chicago accent is practically indistinguishable from one you might hear in parts of WNY, so she’s ok for Bills fans. 
And, she’s  a bit too Plain Jane for Sideline reports and Good Morning Football shows where they prefer a little more glamour from their female talent. 
I do think she’s as knowledgeable or more than some of the talking heads who’ve never played the sport. She does  her homework. 
My biggest beef with her is the same one I have with Chris Brown- they can’t stop themselves from interrupting when Tasker’s talking. Tasker was telling an amusing anecdote yesterday that involved a practical joke from training camp involving Reed, Smerlas, and Ritcher, and he was twice on the verge of saying ‘even today..’ (anticipating something about Smerlas, the prank’s victim), but thanks to her interruption, we were left hanging on that line.

Hope she sees this

See questions to Cossell this week. Her questions were 20-30 sec. It’s not how to interview. I hate her voice but asking questions as a 20 sec monologue of your guests is just bad media presence. 
 

again, she works at a local monopoly. Other media outlet ratings would give a market response +/-

Cosell was definitely holding back a STFU more than once in that interview.

[Goin Breakdown]

The  only time she sounded real was when she was talking about Diggs (behind his back sadly) Other than that she sounds like she's reading. If she'd loosen up and talk more like she's hanging out rather than giving a football lecture, she'd be fine. 
side note-  I'm sure I wouldn't do any better, so there's that I suppose.

Yeah, she can get unnecessarily wordy at times. I suspect she’s the kind of person you have to say ‘goodbye’ to five times before you can get off the phone.  

[RunTheBall]

You are either Maddy or her stalker. This take is laughable. The best you can say is I think she tries hard. That’s about it. The next time I hear an insightful comment from her will be the first time. 

[gonzo1105]

Eh my hatred towards her has nothing to do with her mic issue. My issue is she's like a female Vic Carrucci. She just drones on and on and on and doesn't get to her point. She also sounds like shes reading from a stat line most of the time and her voice is annoying.

 

Maddy Glad =Female Vic Carrucci, who sounds like shes reading from a stat sheet, who has a very annoying voice is my issue with her.

they must have one.  They need to keep replacing aging veterans with rookies on cheap cost-controlled deals.

 

she might be a running back, though.

[BADOLBILZ]

 

This has to be a troll job or you are her Bills fan husband.    She isn't as terrible as she was initially..........but she is still bad with her monotonous long-winded rambling.

I think the issue might be listening to the Brown/Tasker show and expecting anything insightful tbh
