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 Hašek "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:
“The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
