And then there's this...

You may have wondered where Bills PBP man John Murphy was on Monday night.

The answer, per the Bills' Twitter feed: Murphy suffered a stroke last weekend and was taken to Buffalo General Medical Center. The team further noted in a statement that Murph has already been released and is recovering at home. In the interim, Chris Brown will continue to fill in on PBP in the meantime.

Jeez louise! Poor Murph! I'm sure Chris Brown will do great, but the broadcast won't feel the same without Murph's trademark voice. Prayers that he's back to full health soon.

This is one helluva year.

My best to the Murph. I still remember Susan Banks leaving, Keith Radford asking him a stupid question, and the Murph flexing his hands on the table, grinning insanely, looking over at Radford and giving him something like "Well, I don't know Keith, what do you think ?".

Radford looks terrified, Murph looks gleeful, and they cut to a commercial. When they come back, Murph isn't there, Radford is sweating.

I think the Murph got along well with Susan Banks.

My best to him.

His calls in the comeback game are so burned into my brain that I can watch the highlights with no sound and still hear them.

The NFL had ****ty TV blackout rules back then and I remember listening to that game and numerous other blacked out games on the radio, with him doing the calls. He’s not quite as legendary as RJ is to the Sabres, but he’s close.

Hope he pulls through.

I think you're remembering Van Miller, pretty sure Murphy was not even on the radio crew at that time.

And Van Miller is just as legendary as RJ, maybe even more.

Dammit. I was thinking of Miller. Murphy was after. Still, hoping he pulls through.
