    I'm not posting a link because it's not worth it. Empty fluff. Nothing more.

    Apparently Damon has some new role with the team where he "works with the kids" or something. Whatever. I was hoping that Softy would ask Damon about the offensive line and the recruiting of OLs. No such luck. It was all "Austin is a nice kid," and "I'm a big fan of Keith Price" emptiness.

    The only takeaway for me is the question of how I can get those 6 minutes of my life back.

    maybe they could have asked him the proper way to throw off your back foot?

    KJR hasn't been the same since the Fabulous Sports Babe died.

    "Hi Sports Babe, first time caller here..."
    "I'll be gentle with ya honey..."

    That would be for his brother Brock to answer who works for 710. HTH.

    The Husky honks is the worst. Dick Baird is absolutely terrible.

    If they seriously wanted to improve the show they'd boot Baird and put in someone like Lambright.

    Although I'm sure they'd be afraid to have Lambo since he appears to be a straight shooter.

    I think even the Doogs don't like Baird.

    Please to be stopping your criticism of Coach Baird. Just because he gets it wrong the first 23 times doesn't make it okay to attack a REAL HUSKY who BLEEDS PURPLE like Baird.

    We're lucky to have him.

    Not to mention, Baird is the best boner pill advertiser in the biz.

    How can you say that?! Dick cares about THE KIDS MORE THAN ANYONE!

    The comments about Damon/Nelson are right on.

    The broadcasts with Rondeau and Nelson were professional and outstanding. Throw in Bill Swartz also, the sideline guy. These guys obviously wanted the dawgs to win but were professional, impartial and knowledgeable.

    Now we have Huard who doesn't really add anything and is hooting and hollering all over Bob's calls after a game changing play in favor of UW. It's like those fucking Coog douchetards.

    No reason to make any change and they fucked it up. I think they made the changes to get people who were less impartial and less critical. Could be wrong but thats my hunch.

    Why are you acting like you are surprised? When has Softy ever interviewed a Husky/Former Husky and it not be an on air hand job?

    Never said I was surprised, but admittedly I listened in case something tangible was discussed.

    In my view, Softy's best moment is when he gave himself an on-air thrashing for advocating to give tyrone a 4th year. Although it was too little too late and it was the least he could do, when is the last time a member of the media actually said "I was wrong and stupid"? It actually sounded heartfelt, and like he really meant it. Again, I am NOT giving this guy a pass for all the softballs he has lobbed to coaches over the years, and his love fest with everyone around signing day's OL failures makes me barf. However, nobody else from kjr, espn radio, seattle times, pi, news tribune, everett herald would have given themselves such a beating.

    PS. And you don't need to talk to me about baird. I've locked horns with him on air in a very real way.

    Okay, I agree with that, but here's the problem... Did Softy learn from it and change his ways? There he was a couple years later alluding to the Half Brains by saying that the people out there who won't jump on the Sark bandwagon must have something wrong with them not to see what's going on.
