    Now there's a name you haven't heard about for a while...

    Does anyone have any updates on him? Last I heard he was the color man for the Sonics, err.. before they moved to OKC.

    Hope he's doing well. I remember him battling with some health problems a few years ago.

    He was working on the Sonics broadcast their last season. Not sure what he is doing now. Sold his house over here in Alameda recently and I have seen him at 24Hr. fitness every now and then. We chat, but not about work. Looked good, but it has been a few months.

    Glad he's doing well physically. Funny thing is... I want to email him but I know he doesn't use email. MB can testify to that!

    I wouldn't mind seeing the blazers bring him back. He is a blazer through and through just like Schonz. Then you could move Rice back to radio.

    Snapper got old sometimes for me. Don't get me wrong, he is a quality announcer, but still...

    Of course Rice gets old sometimes as well. Maybe the two should split the games! :)

    I got tired of hearing "ball movement, player movement"

    I can't stand him as an announcer.

    It's not Snapper's fault that the players never got the message.
