WGR this morning

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Has Gina from Delaware called in today to complain about mean posters at TBD-TSW? 🤔

*
And what little I have heard of Ross Tucker on his segment on the afternoon show gives me the impression of a real life Foster Brooks. 🤨

the morning show is talking about the giants niners 1990 nfc championship game.  They just said it was a battle of backups because montana was knocked out.

 

I imagine neither was alive at the time but thats enough for me today.

He didn't get knocked out until late in the game

My friend and I always laugh about how you can get more insight on the Bills in a 12 minute segment on Movin the Chains on Sirius than a whole week on GR. Idk who runs the show but that station is an embarrassment.  Bulldog must pick up his check with a mask and gun. Talk about mailing it in. 

 

This to me is the most amazing thing at that station.  Bulldog (and his loud breathing you hear in the mic), brings nothing to the table.  It doesn't seem like he preps at all, wings it every show.  When he is alone, you can tell its the worst thing in the world, and guys like Hamilton, Sal, etc do him a solid and sit in for hour(s).  Schopp at least has the radio talent to carry a show alone.  

 

But Bulldog, and Schopp to a degree, have been doing the same show for decade(s).  They don't try to find new ideas or angles, or seem to want to watch sports or do homework.  One thing I like about the younger guys, is they are hungry and try.  They introduce different perspectives and even talk about other stuff like wrestling, baseball, or soccer sometimes (which is refreshing with such Bills/Sabres heavy content that is beat to death).  

 

You would think Bulldog and Schopp are the most expensive 'talent' the station has, and they could be replaced pretty easily by younger, better, hungrier people.  The radio station company is always struggling, you would think that is an easy move (and I kind of like Schopp).

 

 

Tasker is another one who just seems to roll up and do a show with no prep.

yes that was my point.  He had nothing to do with the game. 

 

Montana got hammered by leonard marshall, broke a finger and injured his sternum and then a few plays later Erik Howard knocked the ball out of Roger Craig's hands and LT Recovered.

 

it was 34 years ago today actually.  Had craig not fumbled the niners win and the bill probably beat the niners by 7+.  

 

But that is the way it goes.

I remember being so excited because I was scared of the 49ers and since we had beaten Giants had a lot of confidence in Super Bowl win.

Ha!  That niners team couldn’t run the ball that’s how the giants beat them.  If I remember correctly they had some issues in the secondary.

 

i think Buffalo would have killed them.  The wild card would have been the fact that Steve young would have started and his ability to scramble.  
 

I think buffalos front 7 would have forced them into tough 3rd downs all game and they would not have been able to keep up with the bills offense.

 

oh well.

Yeah I think it was the aura around the Niners at the time. They'd won 4 SBs in what 8-9 years.

 

Just realized, they had won 2 previous SBs and were trying to three peat like KC this year.

Plus Simms was out... but this brings me back to Levy and his coaching... he just ... maybe I leave it there and not go on a rant LOL...

Yep Roger Craig’s final play as a 49er was that Erik Howard forced fumble that allowed the giants to go down and win.

 

that ended the three peat and that era of the niners.  Montana couldn’t stay healthy and young was the guy in 92 and the team changed a lot.

 

maybe most importantly bill walsh left after the 89 Super Bowl.  
 

This old Parcells bill walsh games were great.  Parcells when he was here in Dallas used to tell stories about Walsh, he really disliked the love that Walsh always got!  
 

he told a story one time about how bill Walsh invented the 15 scripted plays to start the game and every time the giants played them at candlestick the headsets would immediately go out and then both teams had no headsets but it didn’t matter to the niners offense because they had the start of the game all ready to go.  He really got irritated talking about bill Walsh.

 

the giants niners were on a collision course in 89 and then the rams got a cheap pass interference call while driving to tie the game and it allowed them to kick a field goal and go to overtime.  Then the rams won the toss and Jim Everett hit flipper Anderson for a walk off touchdown.   We all got robbed of giants niners in the championship game.   Then we got it in 90 and the giants found a way.  
 

I will never forget this game or this moment!  I watched the game at my friends house, a family filled with giants fans.  They were livid!  I was in 7th grade.  I loved this era of the nfl.

They need to block Gina from Delaware’s number. 

I heard her call! Was she the one who was talking about it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog? I assumed she'd been smoking meth.

 

Also, they played some more clips of Chris Brown's commentary. He actually said these words "touchdown Josh Allen - number 17 the touchdown machine!"   Equally as terrible as "super Cooper" and "the cook has found the kitchen!"

 

What's funny is when Davis scored he just said "Touchdown Ray Davis - the rookie". I laughed because he's clearly spent many nights lying awake in bed trying to think of something that rhymes with Davis, without success.

 

"Ray Davis - he went to college with a woman called Mavis! No, come on Chris you're better than that. Ray Davis, he's a guy you dare not diss! No, not punchy enough. Ray Davis, he's in the end zone, we're in bliss!     Ah, f**k it, I'll just call him the rookie"

Some guy this morning was barking like a dog?

[boyst]

I should call in sometime with a great idear or something samrt.

[Bruffalo]

Jeremy and Joe are the best show on WGR. All the shows that Joe has touched got way worse after he left. The extra point show is basically unlistenable. Does the Nightcap even still exist? The afternoon show was way better when he produced it. 

 

The callers are awful, but they don't choose those. They mostly skew on the homebound retiree or habitual drunk spectrum regardless. 

 

I still like the morning show as much as any Bills podcast. Podcasters often take themselves way too seriously and conflate subjective opinion with fact.

You piss off school and the bulldog simply asking "how are you". It's crazy that they get so annoyed by a common greeting.

Actually even better not only was Jeremy white alive, he was a giant fan at that point

If you dislike the announcers, that's fine.  Dragging their families into it is bush league.

Ross Tucker is the worst guest they bring on, hands down. I can't believe he does play by play.
