    He hosted the 12pm to 3pm slot. I never really cared for him too much. He was from southern Cali and it seemed he really missed it. It's just weird how the Game suddenly changes things and then never explains where the last guy went,

    So does anyone know what happened?

    They can't make payroll, so they keep bringing in new hosts; then after a few months the paychecks start bounching so they have to find a new host.

    Don't think I'll miss Dave Smith in the slightest, I'd rather have them just patch into fox sports radio or something. The guy was horrible.

    that's typically how radio/tv works though, anchors/reporters/personalities are there one day and gone the next with no explanation. i work for a station that has made a big deal of two anchors leaving and found it very weird. one girl on the morning show did a week long good bye celebration even though she'd only been on the show for a 18 months.

    Atleast when Bernard Bokenyi's on I don't immediately change the station.

    can't say that it's a bad thing. Not that he was horrible, but he surely wasn't good.

    What happened to The Game since they went back to AM? I rarely listen anymore except when the Blazers are on. My radio is on 1080 The Fan all the time now a days.

    Bernard Bokeny original tried out for the noon to three spot when John Lund left. Brian "boss man" jennings hired Dave Smith instead. Recently Jennings retired, when that happened Bernard Stepped up. He coveted that noon to three spot and fired Dave Smith for essentially no reason other than he wanted the airtime. It's really too bad...
