On this episode of the Moran-Alytics Podcast, Patrick Moran interviews one of the more engaging writers of the Buffalo sports media scene over the past two decades.  Bucky Gleason, writer for the Buffalo Maven and sports talk radio host at 1270 The Fan joins the podcast for a wide-ranging interview. The two start at Gleason’s youth, talking about him being born and raised in Hamburg, New York and his love of sports, particularly basketball at a very young age. Of course, Gleason would go on to be best known for his 20 years at The Buffalo News.  Gleason talks about his time there, including thoughts on one of the biggest legends to ever work there, Jim Kelley.  Alongside several others, Gleason made headlines earlier this year when he accepted a buyout offer and abruptly left the News.  Gleason offers his opinion on the series of events that led him to decide a buyout was his best course of action. The discussion turns to Gleason’s current ventures. He reveals what led to opportunities to write for the Buffalo Maven as well as the Bucky and Sully radio show, both alongside his colleague and friend Jerry Sullivan.  He talks about the highs and lows of each, his brotherly relationship with Sullivan and why he thinks his show is different than other shows around. They wind down with Gleason’s strong takes on the Buffalo Sabres tank era before finishing off with the Mini-Lightning Round, where we learn among other things he nearly became a State Trooper instead of a sports journalist. You can read Bucky Gleason’s work at the Buffalo Maven website and be sure to check out the Bucky and Sully radio show weekday mornings between 9:00am and noon on 1270 The Fan  Follow Patrick Moran on Twitter @patmorantweets and “like” the Moran-Alytics Facebook page.

EP 66: Bucky Gleason, Sports Writer & Radio Host

Two weeks ago, Brian and Bucky Gleason recorded what might have been the perfect podcast. It was witty, insightful, entertaining, everything you’d want from this medium and more.And, then Brian went and messed up the recording but good.But Bucky, a former Buffalo News sports columnist and now the editor of Buffalo Maven, is a mensch. He joins Brian again this week. They talk a lot about the Buffalo Bills and what this team is like to cover. Bucky talks about how he writes columns about the team without having press credentials, and the challenges and opportunities that presents.Bucky details his career path from the Wellsville bureau of the Olean Times Herald to being a columnist at his hometown Buffalo News. He remembers the influence Jim Kelley had on his career (including the infamous Dominik Hasek incident) and discusses the challenges presented of writing what he calls “grossly unpopular” columns about bad teams for the past 10 years.Bucky Gleason on TwitterBuffalo MavenBucky and SullyJim KelleyMike Vaccaro booksSubscribe:Apple PodcastsOvercastGoogle PlayRSS
