Sports talk should be entertaining and informative which is why Mike Schopp and the Bulldog control the WGR 550 airwaves every weekday from 3 to 7 pm.
Chris 'The Bulldog' Parker bleeds Buffalo and is as passionate about the Sabres and Bills as any listener to our radio station. Mike Schopp not only keeps the callers in line and dishes out his own opinions on the Buffalo sports scene, creates on-air fantasy drafts of anything from U.S. Presidents to sports announcers and is the station’s sports trivia expert.
Joe Buscaglia handles the 20/20 updates and is also the show's resident NFL draft enthusiast. Greg Bauch is responsible for all regrettable content, including on-air and on-line recaps to reality television shows and fake play-by-play highlights involving wolves, mimes and the moon.
'Ten Opinions in a Row' is an opportunity for the guys to let loose with takes on the secondary topics of the day.
Weekly guests include Jerry Sullivan at 5 on Mondays, Rob Ray on weeknight Sabres game days at 4 and Sabres’ General Manager Darcy Regier at 5:30 when the Sabres play at home on Fridays.
Also, make sure you check WGR550.com for Bulldog’s column every Tuesday and Mike Schopp’s commentary every Thursday.
Mike Schopp and the Bulldog once again held an open forum for their 'Earth Sports Fortress of Pantheon' on Tuesday. The idea behind the creation was to gather the very best in sport for one Ultimate Hall of Fame. This way, Babe Ruth wouldn't be on the same level as Bruce Sutter. The ESF of P makes sure that Wayne Gretzky does not reside in the same building as Joe Mullen.
** Instead of going to a job that pays far less money and requires real work, play a game. We need you to practice for a couple hours a day. Just like real jobs we need you to show up on time but unlike those jobs you'll get several months off. (Well unlike most of those jobs, right, teachers?)
Long live the Stanley Cup playoffs, one of the only things left in grown-up sports that's really, really great.
It's all been said before. The drama, the tension, the way a player's fate -- or a team's, or an organization's -- can hinge on the slightest things. Long, grueling seasons coming down to one goal, either labeling you a winner or a choker. It's just the
Somewhere along the way I got a tip never to ask listeners if they care about something. Instead, just talk about it. If they care, they'll be there. If they don't, they won't. What they won't do is tell you whether they care. It's not a question people call radio shows to answer.
I like this rule, but last week we purposely broke it to ask Sabres fans if they care who
Plucking from the transcript the Bills sent out after the draft was over, Buddy Nix apparently was asked by a reporter how he felt about his draft. Buckle up.
"We felt like we stayed with the board," Nix begins by saying. But ... "Everybody says that. Everybody says they do not draft for need, but basically you do some. Everybody
Tuesday, John Murphy and I chatted about Pat Summerall. Murphy called Summerall a "minimalist" broadcaster. That may be right, as I too remember Summerall well for how few words he did say.
Whereas another announcer might have said, "Cunningham gives to Keith Byars who runs into the line, and he is met by Harry Carson and stopped for a 2-yard gain," Summerall
Let me say first that I just watched Arnold Palmer fight bad guys so anything is possible from me here today. Let's proceed.
They're not a team we much care about except for that No Goal business. If we're watching their home games we might feel, by the look of their arena, like we're the only ones doing so. Their players are mostly lesser-knowns except two players that have
In fantasy sports, hard-core rebuilding is pretty easy.
You're in a keeper league -- Bulldog, that means where you keep most of your players from year to year -- and your team doesn't look like a winner. No biggie, just find somebody who does think their team is ready and trade him your good older players for youth and draft picks. In the Strat-O-Matic leagues I play in, you either do
Let's get the literal answer to today's headline out of the way. Buffalo is from the French "beau fleuve", which means city of old buildings, greasy food and light traffic.
I'm thinking instead about what Buffalo means in sports. I like it when teams have reliable, continual identities; I like it even more when multiple teams in a city share those identities.
