Talking Buffalo

Jhas came to work for Channel 4 last fall after spending roughly a decade in radio.  They talk about her radio career and how feeling a ceiling helped prompt Williams to get into working on TV and ultimately coming to Buffalo.

Before that they discuss Jhas growing up in South Jersey near Philadelphia a fan of all the area pro sports teams: Eagles, Phillies, 76ers and Flyers.  Jhas had many talents as a youth she’s incorporated into her adult life including writing and music.  One of her talents, however, was not being a good student.  She openly describes her struggles academically when she was young and some of the reasons.

They also hit on many other talking points, including her relationship with her colleagues at WIVB-TV, the schedule required to be a morning reporter, her thoughts on Buffalo so far since moving there, a few favorite wing spots and much more, including the traditional Fun Fact Finale.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with Ryan Talbot, Bills beat writer and podcaster with NYup.com and the guys discuss a variety of topics centered around the biggest Buffalo Bills 2020 season takeaways.

Patrick runs down a list of his 10 biggest takeaways of the Bills 2020 season, a 13-3 campaign that saw Buffalo fall one game short of going to the Super Bowl and Ryan has reaction to each.  Among the topics hit on is Josh Allen having one more level of growth to reach, Gabriel Davis making John Brown more expendable this offseason and tight end remaining an annual offseason significant need for the Bills.

Ryan’s insight focuses heavily on what the Bills offensive and defensive lines look like right now and what may change this offseason to address them. He also runs down a few well known veteran tight ends who could be enticed to come to Buffalo on potential one-year “prove it” deals and also sheds light on linebacker Matt Milano’s value and if he thinks the pending free agent will be back with the team.

They also spend time discuss Sunday’s Super Bowl, the blueprint for beating the Kansas City Chiefs going forward and the Shout! Buffalo Bills podcast Ryan is crushing with co-host Matt Parrino.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran has a conversation with WIVB-TV news reporter Gabrielle Mediak on a variety of topics spanning her life and career.

Gabrielle is born and raised in Western New York and has spent nearly her entire life there.  She grew up in Lancaster and ultimately attended Buffalo State College. Once she came to grips with a music career not being feasible she turned her focus on broadcast journalism and has grown into one of the better and more likeable news reporters and personalities in the Buffalo television market.

She talks about her experience at college and several interning opportunities and how it helped hone her craft, as did time spent working in both Elmira and Syracuse. She talks about how her opportunity to join WIVB-TV came about in January of 2019 and that her dream of remaining in Western New York to pursue her career became a reality.

They also talk about Gabby’s insane work and sleep schedule because of her early morning shift (often waking up at 3:00am), the challenges of working through Covid in the broadcasting profession, her colleagues at Channel 4, why she loves living in Western New York, her favorite wing and pizza spots and the traditional Fun Fact Finale, where we learn several other Gabby fun facts including her first celebrity crush, worst habit, what game show she could dominate and what her signature karaoke song is.

Give Gabrielle a follow on Twitter @GabrielleMediak and be sure to check her out weekday mornings as part of the Wake Up Buffalo team on WIVB-TV.

Patrick Moran talks with recurring guest Kris Baker from Sabres Prospects about a variety of topics focused both on the Sabres and Buffalo Bills.

The Sabres are at least staying afloat in a shortened season through their first 10 games but it hasn’t been pretty.  Kris has insight as to why the team is struggling so much five on five, Carter Hutton being lousy in net, several skaters to find production and Jack Eichel not playing great despite stats that suggest otherwise.

They also spend plenty of time discussing the Bills, including what’s likely to be a big dilemma on if the Bills will have the ability to re-sign Matt Milano and Darryl Williams. Both guys are prominent players important to the present and future of the organization but salary cap issues is almost sure to derail at least one of them returning.  They also add a little to the Josh Allen vs Deshaun Watson “who’s better” nonsense floating around Twitter, the possibility of acquiring Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and much ore.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, the Buffalo Bills season has ended and general manager Brandon Beane conducted a press conference via Zoom this week that went well over. Patrick Moran and recurring guest/friend Joe from NYC (@BuffaloWins) react to several of Beane’s talking points and much more.

For the most part Beane was pretty transparent during his meeting with the media when it came to several team matters, including how he feels about re-signing Matt Milano, not being as aggressive in free agency as the past few years with re-signings being a priority, needing more from the running back position, tight ends not being a threat to defenses and the defensive line being a light this season.  The guys break down all those points and more and that predictably results in disagreements, especially when it comes to Patrick’s take on running back Devin Singletary.

Joe also explains why he’s adamant that the Bills should be spending the vast majority of the resources on the offensive side of the ball despite the team ranking second in the NFL in both scoring and yardage this season.

They also spend time catching up as Patrick points out this is Joe’s milestone 50th time appearing on Talking Buffalo Podcast.  Before the segment Joe gets off nuclear takes on former President Donald Trump.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, the Buffalo Bills season ended one game before the Super Bowl and host Patrick Moran discusses that and much more with Joe Miller from Overreaction Sports Podcast.

Buffalo traveled to Kansas City for the AFC championship game and the wheels finally fell off their magical season.  Patrick and Joe discuss everything that went wrong, ranging from Sean McDermott’s rare cowardice coaching decisions to Josh Allen struggling alongside an offense that gave him little help and a defense that quite frankly had an embarrassing performance.

That said, the guys discuss how successful the 2020 Buffalo Bills season was in totality. They briefly examine why the franchise is set up well for the future and spend time reflecting on how this year’s success helped bring joy, bonding and hope during a time when fans need positivity in their life now more than ever.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, the Buffalo Bills are in the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Moran previews the game and much more with friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover-1.

The guys discuss many topics including what it will take for the Bills to win, what they need to do differently than the first time they played them in Orchard Park in Week six, why we shouldn’t read too much in that game and why it appears the Bills have went from NFL media darlings to near afterthought this week.

The guys end with somewhat surprising predictions and trust me, Patrick takes it even a step farther by specifically elaborating on his.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by David Tilton from Buffalo Fanatics and the focus is squarely on the Buffalo Bills advancing to the AFC championship game this week after defeating Baltimore last Saturday night.

The Bills defense was the story Saturday night as they stifled Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense en route to a 17-3 divisional round playoff victory, highlighted by Taron Johnson’s 101-yard interception return for a touchdown to finally break open a tight game. The guys break down everything from Saturday, including Stefon Diggs being the best player on the field for either team, Josh Allen getting it done without needing to look spectacular and a defense that looked terrible for most of one drive and then tightened up the rest of the way, including knocking Jackson out of the game with a concussion near the end of the third quarter.

They also hit on some guys who had some key roles that may not have gotten enough recognition, including Levi Wallace, John Brown and the Bills offensive line.

They then turn their attention towards Kansas City and start to glimpse on a conference title  matchup most fans and media have been wanting to see. Counting the playoffs the Chiefs are 16-1 including a nine-point win over Buffalo earlier this season, but Kansas City has looked very beatable in a lot of games.

The guys also spend a few minutes talking about David’s YouTube live show he does with co-shot Steve Mathes twice-weekly on the Buffalo Fanatics brand.  You can follow David on Twitter at @TiltMoney and subscribe to the Air Raid Hour on the BF Youtube Channel.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by “Maniac” Zach Sheldon from Trainwreck Sports to talk about a variety of topics centered around the Buffalo Bills playoff game Saturday night against Baltimore.

The Bills are set to host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round Saturday night in Orchard Park and it becomes clear quickly that Maniac’s more confident in the Bills advancing than Patrick.  He points out getting over the hump against the Colts without playing particularly well last week as a reason for his confidence while Patrick discusses the Ravens running attack as the primary biggest reason for his fears.  They both agree that Josh Allen performing well on a big stage last week bodes well for Buffalo and eventually both guys settle on a game prediction Buffalo fans will enjoy hearing.

They also spend a few minutes talking Sabres hockey and Maniac projects what he thinks Buffalo’s floor and ceiling is likely to be for this season. Meanwhile Patrick takes a shot at hockey analytical experts and worries that Thursday’s season opener could be the first of Jack Eichel’s final 56 games with the organization.

The guys also spend time talking Trainwreck Sports and Maniac discusses some of the fantastic guests they’ve had on their show recently as well as a discussion on the city of Buffalo and what the Bills success has meant to it, particularly during these trying times with Covid-19.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest, friend and sports media personality Joe Yerdon to discuss the Buffalo Bills advancing in the AFC playoffs and the Buffalo Sabres starting their season this week.

It wasn’t easy but the Bills held on to defeat Indianapolis in Orchard Park last weekend to win a NFL playoff game for the first time since 1995.  The guys break down a game that in a lot of ways after discussing feels like Buffalo should’ve lost.  Joe also chimes in on what the general vibe’s been in Western New York or late as the region has been starving for moments like this for a long time.

Barring Covid-19 setbacks the Sabres are also scheduled to take the ice on Thursday for a regular season game for the first time since last March. Joe has a nice little preview of the team including examining what in the world is going on with Jeff Skinner and his seemingly diminished role under head coach Ralph Krueger.

All this and much more.  Follow Joe on Twitter @JoeYerdon.  Follow Patrick on Twitter @PatMoranTweets for news on upcoming guests, contests and much more.
