All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

You still doing the live show Sal or just podcasts?
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Too tough rely on the same live schedule every week - and that messes people up, including me! LOL
So, I'll throw a few in this season hopefully. But just gonna concentrate mostly on doing them as podcasts and then making them sound better with some post-production. You should be able to notice the difference already this week in that regard.

Gotcha. Don't know if you saw it but I incorporated you into my cartoon last week.

You can find all the cartoons here. Yours is the 2nd one.

Anonymous Jets fan doesn't understand the optimism of Bills fans because, and I quote, "We got 1 good player in free agency"? He doesn't understand it because he isn't a Bills fan. It's the water up there in Jersey , makes them looney. : ) Go Bills. JMO

Enjoyed the podcast Sal. I was going to comment about how the sound is MUCH improved from the old days.

Haha, that was cool, King. Thanks for including me. Usually when people use media heads as part of a story, cartoon, etc., it's not too flattering. That was funny and true. I was like that after the game. Also, enjoyed the accuracy of my baldness and goatee :) Are you on twitter? I can link it and mention it there if you are.

I will say this: I like both the Coach Sal and the John Murphy podcasts, but it's hard to listen to them back to back because of the different pacing.
Murph's show is a little relaxed and moves at a slow pace. They spend a lot of time on topics and interviews, and, even though I like it overall, it does drag at times.
Coach Sal's podcast is "let's see how much content we can cram into 35-40 minutes without glazing over anything." If I try to listen to it while I'm working or doing something else, I find I miss things.
I'm not saying that one is necessarily better or worse than the other, but it definitely shows the generation gap and the difference between those used to working in traditional media and those who have had their whole careers in the age of new media.

Interesting. Thanks for that feedback.
I'll say this. The area I try to work on most is my pacing because I'm a naturally fast talker. Always have been, even when I was a kid. Then, when I get a headset on and a timer going, I rush even a little more sometimes. Like you said, not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely something I know I do and try to take notice of. I used to have a sign in front of me with big letters that said, "SLOW DOWN!" just to remind myself.
So, again, thanks. Glad it's not "too fast" for you. But I'd like to strike that balance of energetic and fast, yet not too crammed and rushed. I'm always working on it.

Absolutely! @MBBedard & @Billszone, I do the cartoons about twice a week. There's a link to them on our main page as well. They're not always hits, but I try.
