Jim I love how you’ve given us a behind the scenes look at all the crap you endured at both stations. Always thought Salk sounded like an asshole and you confirmed it. Have not really listened at all to 710 since you were let go. Was always a fan of you back on 710 both with Calabro and Danny O’Neil and Wyman. I sent a tweet to Puck and was like you should hire your fellow Coug Jim Moore and he wrote back with something like I love Jim. Then eventually you were on the show with him. I was thrilled when you became a part of his show and am so glad you are still on with him.

Always been a fan of yours. You’re such a relatable guy. Share a lot in common, love dogs, love the Cougs. Went to my same high school, and I think also elementary and junior highs. Of course way before me, I’m class of 1999 Redmond High.

Thanks for all the laughs, great writing and job on radio over the years and current appearances with Puck. Love getting your takes on the Cougs both basketball and football because I know you care as much as I do.

PS barely listened to KJR since you and Puck have been gone. Just Ian here and there.

I was canned once, quite a few years ago. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I took a year off, got a better job and then climbed up the ladder, and was able to retire almost 5 years ago at 55. The guys that fired me are still working. Go Cougs!

Was listening to ESPN Seattle the other day and thought I miss Jim Moore. The shows are now mostly lame and the same bits day after day and show after show. Sometimes I tune away and land on a pharmaceutical commercial but stay there because it is still more interesting. Glad you are doing well and full disclosure I am a Husky but always enjoyed you from Go to Guy articles to the radio.

Did they ever give you a reason for the firing? Like a GOOD reason? You and pucks rating had to have been damn good compared to where they are now. Do you think they would have fired you in the 90s? KJR is boring as fuck now. Why don't they take any calls?

“I thank them for that while reminding myself never to work for a dick or a Husky ever again.”
