I wish Cover 1 film would break down some bad plays from Allen as well

I've been sober for 19 years.  Again, you're not the smartest one in the room 

 

Traditionally sober or is the green stuff ok?  But AA will make you sound nonsensically vague like that too.   Got a lot of friends in AA and they are big into ego crushing and room analogies as part of their process of staying traditionally sober.

Yesterday am in the 11 am hour.   It was amusing.   Shill was brought up on Chuck Dickerson and Art Wander saying anything they felt in the moment about the organization because there were no consequences for criticism.   So the WGR listeners really embraced him and his potential early on.  But over time his "what the fans don't understand" shtick gets old with a listener base which is full of people who are organizational skeptical or hate-listening to hear the organization skeptics.   The people who  don't want to risk hearing anything negative know to listen only to podcasts and the Bills sanctioned 1-3pm show with actual full-time Bills employees Brown and Tasker.   Shill has himself between a rock and a hard place.   

I think too much time in Sal’s segments are spent reviewing game day routines, the weather, waiver-wire protocols, practice squad rules, injury report designations etc. 

 

You’re halfway through a segment and we’re still talking about how he’s packing his suitcase to go on the road and who Max dressed up as for Halloween. 

 

He rehashed his Lewis Cine as a linebacker thought over 5x in segments last week, or his constant explaining that Damar Hamlin starts because he knows the system. 
 

Capaccio hedges every conversation now with “no doubt” to pacify fans that would point out flaws or even have interesting conversation beyond reminding people that DaQuan Jones was playing at an All-Pro level the first 5-games last year. He has really become sensitive to “negative” fans.

And this is a guy who idolized "The Coach" Chuck Dickerson to the point that he started his radio career as "The Coach" Sal Capaccio.   No matter what you thought of Dickerson.........he was never boring.   Shill sold out for a pair of pom-pom's.

Yeah, media in general has resorted to too much happy talk to fill time.  I get that material for a 4 hour show isn't easy, but those topics in your second sentence drone on too long.  I doubt many people care about that stuff, but there's not that much news from day to day about the team.  2 days after a game it's talking about injuries, the 10 minute window they saw at practice and what else?  

 

But they need to fill that segment and you get Halloween costumes, what they got out of the vending machine, and some other nonsense.  You can't talk about offensive philosophy, schemes, or anything nuanced because it'll lose the surface-level fan.  

 

Kinda reminds me of a story Mike Lombardi, a former personnel type told years ago while working for CBS  He was about to do his segment on the pre-game show and had planned to talk about a rumored GM change for some team.  I think it was Jim Nantz who told him no one cared about that stuff and to focus it on players or something else.  The inside baseball stuff loses people...but the alternative seems to be happy talk.

As long as I'm updated with everything Sal's son is doing, I got no complaints.

This is a good counterpoint, I agree that they have to be relatable.

 

I was also going to say this - Sal has a lot of love for the WNY area. 
 

Last year when the Bills won the division against Miami, you could hear the joy in his postgame, and McDermott reacted to that as well.

 

The Bills are 8-2 and have weathered several injuries, they are doing a good job I think, so no problems with the happier tone. Even McDermott has lightened up this year, and isn’t so overly serious every conversation.

 

Good post.

There’s a lot going on in this topic. Lots of smack talk.
