Long-time Buffalo Bills radio voice claims Joe Brady criticism got credentials denied

John Murphy, a long-time radio voice of the Buffalo Bills, claims he lost his credentials at new Highmark Stadium for criticism of the team's head coach.

Long-time Buffalo Bills radio voice claims Joe Brady criticism got credentials denied

John Murphy, a veteran radio voice for the Buffalo Bills at WIVB-TV, is alleging that his press-box credential at the new Highmark Stadium was revoked due to his criticism of head coach Joe Brady. Murphy, who has covered the Bills for 34 years, claims that the team's decision to deny him access was based on a policy against crediting part-time workers.

The controversy erupted after Murphy published an article predicting the Bills would finish the season with 10 wins, a claim the team reportedly prevented from being published. Murphy also felt slighted by the station for not being able to secure additional access. The Buffalo Bills have not responded to the situation, leaving it as a case of conflicting accounts.
