Show Bits
Schopp & Bulldog's show feature a number of recurring segments, which have aired on both WNSA and WGR. They include the following:
- Hall of Fame Rejection Committee: This idea was started while Schopp was at WNSA. Each day Schopp and his staff (usually 3 in all) would eliminate one person from the Hall of Fame until only one player, the greatest contributor to the sport of all time, remained. In 2005, the Baseball Committee ultimately selected Willie Mays over Babe Ruth. Successors included the Pro Football Hall of Fame Rejection Committee (which selected Otto Graham), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Rejection Committee (which selected The Rolling Stones over The Beatles and Bob Dylan in August 2007), the Hockey Hall of Fame Rejection Committee (which selected Bobby Orr), and the Basketball Hall of Fame Rejection Committee (which is ongoing as of 2011).
- Haseoke: These are supposed to be the lost tapes of former Buffalo Sabres goaltender Dominik HaĊĦek "singing" in a heavy Czech accent and wildly off pitch. The voice of Hasek was never revealed but is believed to be Schopp's former producer, Steve Cichon, who sells the Haseoke tapes on his Web site.
- Greg Bauch comedy sketches which air occasionally as bumpers between sports updates and sometimes as comedy relief. They include the Colorado School of Mimes; a sketch about the real Division II school- Colorado School of Mines, changed to "mimes", that attempts to play a game of college football.
- The show incorporates their website, and asks listeners to respond to issues. These topics include: The Sports Facial Hair Hall of Fame and The Earth Sports Fortress of Pantheon

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or bits:
“There are so bewilderingly many laws in the Outside World. We of the circus know only one law—simple and unfailing. The Show must go on.”
—Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
