  • 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.

Brad Riter on WGR 4-24 Full Show

Mark DiFilippo on the Section 6 and WNY referees needed
Q: Where and when is the official recruitment event taking place?
The recruitment event is next Saturday from 12 to 3 at the Dix House of Sports locations in Amherst and Orchard Park, with staff on hand to answer questions and collect signups.
Tim Graham on WGR 4/17 Hour 2
Q: What was the key takeaway from Sean McDermott's first public comments after his firing?

Paul Hamilton on the Sabres getting ready to host Boston for Game 1 of the series
Q: What are the injury and lineup considerations as the Sabres prepare for the series?
He notes Lyon may be at practice and could be available later, while Ostlund is not ready for the start. He also mentions Carrick being out and how that affects face-offs and depth, emphasizing the need for the team to adapt and rely on others to step up.
