  • Riter & Graham

    Brad Riter & Tim Graham have been awesome! Really hope WGR keeps them on from 1-3p now that the state run Bills show is finally gone.

  • Sal totally hopped on the bus!

    Never thought I’d hear Sal so quickly join the narrative that the SINGLE reason the Bills didn’t EVER make the Super Bowl was Sean! I guess when your job is on the line and you have to follow your boss you do. Receipt-give two years and still no Bowl will he call for Beanie to finally accept the blame? After all that’s what the media’s job is to assign THE BLAME.

  • Sal is my favorite PT Bills-caster!!

    I listen every time Sal is on. Show deteriorates when it’s the other two.

    As for everybody else they expect everyone and person in Bills land to be perfect all pro coaches gm’s EVERY time. What a joke!! Have some humility and show some grace.

    Reminder how WRONG media was from first to last game of exciting, wonderful, unexpected season that like Al 31 teams ALWAYS ends in heartbreak

  • Sal is my favorite Bills-caster!!

    I listen every time Sal is on. He’s interesting, but not hyperbolic or TOO excitable. His ace factors making him so interesting are years of broadcasting and sidelines reporting.

    1/22/23. Never thought I’d delete a whole show after listening to several minutes and seeing the segment titles. Why are all Buffalo casters wrapped up in what it will take to FIRE McDermott! All they talk about. Except Steph.

    Sorry Sal, you’re off today.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

11/2/26 Full Show
Q: How do you reconcile that great performance, their best performance of the year, but against the worst quarterback they've seen?
Sal Capaccio says the defense did what it needed to do and became more aggressive because Joe Fagnano was less mobile than the Ravens' other quarterbacks. He says the Bills sped Fagnano up and forced him into difficulty, while noting that the performance came against an inexperienced emergency quarterback.
11/2/26 Full Show
Q: What do you see in terms of these teams? Who's got it together the most? Who's putting it together? Who's losing it?
Henry McKenna says the Bills are in good shape but need a better defense. He sees the Bengals and Jaguars as potential contenders, expects the Chiefs to remain dangerous in the playoffs, and says the Patriots are improving but face important tests.
The Athletic's Alec Lewis on the Minnesota Vikings before they face the Bills
Q: What do you think the Vikings do at the trade deadline?
Lewis expected Minnesota to pursue one or two moves, with a running back as a likely target. The team's ambitions are complicated by competing priorities between winning now and building through the draft.
The Athletic's Alec Lewis on the Minnesota Vikings before they face the Bills
Q: What's the overview of Minnesota's quarterback situation heading into this game?
Kyler Murray suffered a hamstring injury against Detroit, and his availability remained uncertain. Lewis expected Murray to start if available, while noting that limited mobility would remove a key element of the offense.
Hour 4 - Paul Hamilton on the Sabres returning home to face the Senators and Jim Leonhard
Q: What is your take, if any, about how this team is carrying itself or the vibe around this team now that this is over?
Hamilton says Luukkonen appears more relaxed after trade rumors and suggests that clearing his mind may have helped his performance in Los Angeles.
