Is this a drunk thing or something?

Yikes didn't know that, sorry Paul

This is spot on.

The one day he was asked what the Sabres might be thinking for the 8th pick and he replied "I don't know, but if it were me..."

Like, aren't you the beat reporter? No inside scoop huh?
- sbroads24

No, he is the beat reporter. From the guesses from our own people with inside info, few people really had inside info.

Some of you guys are amazing with this stuff. The team makes 2 or 3 significant moves a year. Is he going to speculate the same stuff 4 times a week? If he did we'd kill him for always speculating on moves that never happen.

The station is 100x better than it was ten years ago when they ran out the knuckle-dragging "tell it like it is" neanderthals. I'd much rather listen to people that at least try to bring some intelligence to sports radio. I don't get why you guys are killing White - he was on the tank bandwagon since day 1 and I can remember so many people here killing him for it.

As a Jets fan, I miss Kane's on ice game, but don't miss the circus that came with him at all. It gave the team, the city and fans a bad name. It's unfortunate that it has continued in Buffalo, but it's kind of like vindication for us Jets fans who were painted as intolerant hicks when we spoke out about his antics.

Having an opinion 4x a week is better than going on the radio and saying "you don't get into that". Its entertainment.

I also agree on the White and tanking point. I agreed with him from the get. Not that it means anything now, but I was saying this when we drafted Risto.

And he isn't good at it, is my point. I don't mind the others, I might disagree with their opinions, but they do there jobs.

Hamilton does not do his well. He gets no inside info. For a beat reporter that's sad.

Joe Buscaglia as the Bills beat reporter is 10x better than Hamilton

Edit- I should say *was the Bills beat reported before he landed a better gig

One single part of an interview was clipped and referenced here. The guy has a lot of opinions and I enjoy listening to him. He had no idea what TMGM was up to other than the obvious so what?

Others like Buscaglia or Capaccio are always saying that "people in the building" are telling them stuff. Of course, they tell him what they want they want him to know. Hardly inside information.

You should expect better from a "beat" reporter. They are supposed to break news, get inside info etc.

No one is asking for TMZ gossip, but come on....

But what? There are 2 or 3 moves a year. You're right - he is a commentator and reporter and not TMZ.

For the record he has reported on inside information in the past.

This is his big scoop every year Murray's done press conference at four

Like Roy will not be traded 2 hours later traded to Dallas

You're acting like only trades need to be broken/reported on.

Please, name any time Hamilton was cited nationally for a story for the Sabres. I bet It's a lot less than Harrington, Vogl, and others

Do you follow Eric Stephens for the Ducks? He's good.

Actually knows prospects, writes a lot, suggests who to follow for info on opposing teams

- GERBE!!!75PTS

So the guy does 4 updates a week and you're down on him because he doesn't scoop one of the 3 moves we make a year? Can anyone name a beat reporter that regularly scoops moves? I have a feeling that if he were regularly getting inside information that he would quickly lose his access to the team.

Why would I possibly care who was cited nationally? What does that tell me about their merit as a beat reporter?

I listened to the interview and he had lots of opinions. What else should he be doing right now? Last time I checked the players are on the golf course.

Is this still the Vesey argument ?

Prognosticating potential trades/ free agent pickups is fun to do. He doesn't need to be so snippy and holier than thou

It's July 7th, we're focused on Paul Hamilton

Right now? Trying to be the first with info on the Vesey meeting. But I doubt he will be.

Just in the last month we have had

Stamkos
Okposo
Vesey
NHL draft
Kane

Lots of topics to do some good work on

He will just retweet the Boston Globe guy for his information like he always does
