    Yes he is. He also worked here before. I didn't care much for him the last time he was here. However this time I thought he was pretty good. How lame to leave after just a couple months.

    Well, from another perspective, he thought he was getting a show on a thriving FM station, and within a few months, he gets moved to AM on a station that for some reason broadcasts LA Dodger games in the evening.

    SF is a better gig.

    That sucks! Lund's show was the best show on The Game IMO. It was the only show I listened to regularly.

    I am so glad his annoying voice will be off the radio in Portland. The game is a sinking ship. It started when they cancelled wheel's show and it started sinking faster with the dumping of Rome. Then it goes to AM and now Lund leaves. I give this station less than a year or 2 before it is done completely.




    L O L, no. Thank God.

    They didn't cancel Wheels show. He didn't want to do it anymore for what they were paying him.

    Sports in Portland is in a death spiral. Incredible, since it doesn't seem so long ago that the Timbers were flying high and the Ducks were the darlings of everything.

    So how long until the game goes under, and they start broadcasting the games on KXL again?

    I doubt it goes under, just solely for the fact they have the Ducks and Blaser broadcast rights.

    The Fan survives and it's big draw (team broadcast wise) is what, the Mariners?
