    I know we had a bit of a tumultuous start with the guys from Rip City Mornings, but I have been listening to the show pretty religiously for the past three or four months, and I really like it. They're Blazer fanatics, like us, and they want to do nothing but talk Blazers all the time, like us.

    They revealed this morning that Bunker is leaving to move to Atlanta to be with his girlfriend. His last show is on Friday. Pretty sad. I'm going to miss that little bastard.

    What happened to the Dan guy who is their guest and does all the analytic's? I think he still joins their show but he doesn't post his recap in here like he used to.

    He must have wanted paid higher than @HCP huh @Denny Crane?

    We need to see pictures of this girlfriend before deciding if this is a good move.

    That is the least surprising response you could have posted. I should have guessed...

    That is sickening.

    Well... we have pics of Bunker, so if there's a woman out there who will have him, I think it's a good move :devilwink:

    Is Bunker the one who was from Seattle or the one who was from Oregon?

    Good, he sucked! (is this how it's done? I'm not good at this).


    Actually, I enjoyed the show, and wish him luck. I think Taylor is the better of the two though. But that's only because he PM'd me on here and told me to say that.

    Indeed sad. I listen to the first half hour every morning on my way to work. Ive come to really like them as well. sad news indeed.

    I even like Kirkers!!!
    Someone needs to twet bunker to put his balls back in his pants and have his GF move here. I moved across the country for a girl once. Three years later I was back. Heed my warning Bunker!!!!

    They're bringing in Dan Sheldon to take over for Bunker. He's definitely an experienced professional, but I seriously doubt he's going to have the same chemistry with Danforth that Bunker did. I have a feeling the shows going to suddenly get significantly more buttoned up.

    Yup. I really liked how the show had the feeling of a couple Blazer fans chatting about the team. I don't know if that's going to endure with the new guy.

    I like Dan, he's good at talking about the team without being a wanna be know it all.
