When you lose your job, you're supposed to just move on and not burn bridges. Put the past in the past. All that stuff. But it's hard to stomach what's been going on at 710 ESPN Seattle this summer. #GoCougs

One last thing, if you ever read anything I wrote or listened to anything I said, thank you very much. I have been so damn lucky to do what I’ve done for a living in Seattle, 25 years as a sportswriter and 15 as a sports talk show host. All the best to all of you. #GoCougs

Saddened to hear that John Clayton died today. He was always great to me, always appreciated how he carved out time for us every day during his really busy schedule. My condolences to Pat. It would be hard to find a husband who loved his wife more than John.

Can’t believe some of the comments here about a kid who had a rough night in his final game with the Dawgs. Looked injured, faced a consistently good pass rush and continued to battle. And you rip him for having an off night after the season he had? Wow. #GoCougs

Happy Thanksgiving from Ritzville, home of the Broncos, Zip's and a nice little 9-hole golf course. Five years of losing to the Dawgs ends tomorrow. #GoCougs

Teammates again! Danny and I will write columns for The News Tribune every other week starting with Danny having a few more choice words for Howard Schultz. We had a good run at 710, hoping this will be another good partnership, going back to our roots as newspaper guys. #GoCougs
