  • Scull can’t live another year

    I heard your recent podcast that you can’t live another year with McBean if the Bills don’t win the Super Bowl.

    I’m begging you guys not to commit Suicide!! It’s not the solution. Besides maybe the haters would miss you

  • First 20 minutes

    The first 20 minutes of the show is always the best. The banter is excellent. The rest of the show is great too, but I always like the off-topic amusing way they usually start the show. Great rapport between Schopp and Bulldog. Only critiques are that they should update some of the intros and I hate the random fan call-in segments.

    I’m sure Ross isn’t really that dumb to think the holidays are somehow diminished in CA. Be better Ross. And not so simple, parochial, and frankly offensive.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour One- Reflecting on the Sabres season and Sammy P
Q: What would it take for the Sabres to truly turn the corner and sustain success?
To sustain success, the Sabres would need to both lock in top players and maintain a winning culture, while navigating ownership's willingness to invest in a core that can compete consistently for playoff spots, even if it means overpaying in the short term to build long-term competitiveness.
Ross Tucker and his thoughts on how to fix OT Hockey
Q: What have you learned about the overtime format through this process?
There isn't a single universal truth, but there's a clear preference among some fans for reducing intermissions and focusing on continuous play, while recognizing ice conditions and broadcast considerations as key factors that complicate any simple change.

I've learned that hockey fans are incredibly passionate and that there is a strong appetite for discussing the format, with many suggesting that starting overtime right after regulation could keep the pace high and the action continuous.
