AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted February 28 Posted February 28 RIP big guy … he was a local icon in the early days of sports talk, bombastic, controversial and often wrong … but always an entertaining listen. Don’t think we would have won the super bowl against Washington even if he didn’t provide motivation for the hogs. I’m sure Wade Phillips and Glenn Parker send their condolences 😂 1 4 Quote
SoonerBillsFan Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Damn. I talked to him several times. I called into his show from here and he stayed on the phone a couple times into his show break to talk Bills football. 1 Quote
QB Bills Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Maybe I'm in the minority, but I got a kick out of listening to him. Certainly preferred him to a lot of the milquetoast personalities out there. "Who loves ya baby?!?"

John from Riverside Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Isn’t this the guy that had nothing good to say about the bills? 3 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted February 28 Posted February 28 My fondest memory is having a buddy in high school that would prank call into his show all the time. It was always a cat and mouse game to get past his screeners, get on air, get a few sentences into a "real" take and then go into the prank. Would send Coach off on a furious tirade. Was funny every time. 1 6 1 Quote

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Imagine Chuck Dickerson doing his postgame present day after 13 seconds.. it would probably be the best postgame bloodbath you could ever imagine. I always enjoyed listening to him heading home from the Stadium. . He was great. RIP coach. 9 4 1 Quote

There was some really really bad football going on at the time. Probably more of a reason they were in trouble, rather than Dickersons ranting 1 Quote
Let's Go Buffalo Posted February 28 Posted February 28 R.I.P. Mr. Dickerson. Thanks for the memories! 1 Quote

BADOLBILZ Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Dickerson was a GREAT radio personality. I have fond memories of his very entertaining shows. That show couldn't exist in WNY today because you can't REALLY be critical of the Bills and keep a job in local radio or tv. One of those great memories is hearing @Bill from NYC regularly calling into his postgame and expressing his Bills pride as we drove home from games. Dickerson was not a particularly successful coach but Casper Milquetoast.......as Dickerson used to call Marv Levy........had mostly sh!tty coaches anyway. Those late 80's and 90's Bills were totally driven by an outstanding personnel department. Chuck Knox brought a really good group of scouts with him from the Rams and they beget guys like Polian, Butler, AJ Smith and the great Dwight Adams. Buddy Nix was a really good scout in his day too. 6 2 2 Quote
RiotAct Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Oh no!!! Horrible news. I loved his postgame show in the 90s and early 2000s “Who loves you, baby?!?” 1 Quote
Mr. Wonderful Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Entertaining, colorful, and interesting man. Used to listen to his show over the internet in the late 90's in Florida. That and Shout magazine is how I got my Bills info. RIP Coach. Edited February 28 by Mr. Wonderful 2 Quote

pennstate10 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 He and his sidekick (Art Wander) were both grade A aholes. Dickerson would say he only wanted to hear strong opinions, strongly held. In other words, people who wouldn’t compromise, and wouldn’t change their opinions, no matter what the facts were. In a microcosm, everything that’s wrong with the US today. 1 7 Quote
