On January 1, 2023, longtime Buffalo Bills radio play-by-play voice John Murphy suffered a stroke that sidelined him for the remainder of the season and forced him to miss all of the 2023 NFL season.

Unfortunately, Murphy’s voice hasn’t returned to where he feels he can broadcast Bills games on the radio anymore, and today’s edition of the Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by remembering Murphy’s tenure on the mic as one of the best voices in Buffalo sportscasting history.
