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 .

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.

Last Thursday I was fired by KJR-FM. I pulled over on a dirt road between Redmond and Madras, Ore., with my dogs in the back seat to get the news that ‘my position had been eliminated.’. Turns out I was part of a nationwide cutback of iHeart employees….

The dumbest bet I’ve ever made - that the Seahawks would have a better record than the Broncos this season - became a winner when Denver lost to the Rams. Broncos can’t be better than 6-11 and Hawks can’t be worse than 7-10. Bring $100 to work Wednesday @JasonPuckett20 #GoCougs.

Even if they’re the Seahawks’ biggest rival, you have to pull for the 49ers to beat the Rams Sunday night, don’t you? 49ers are 2-3, Rams are 4-1, just one game behind the 5-0 Seahawks. #GoCougs

At Starbucks drive-through this morning. Guy in front of me paid for my order, and the barista also passed along a 'Go Cougs' from him. So I paid for the guy behind me and passed along a 'Go Cougs' to him. Don't know if he was a Coug, but that part doesn't matter. #GoCougs

One thing's for certain: If we win, I'll have a Jack Daniels on the rocks after the game. If we lose, I'll have a Jack Daniels on the rocks after the game. So there's that. #GoCougs.
