OT Mysterious tweets from Taylor Danforth at Rip City Radio

[SlyPokerDog]

I know some of you listen to him daily, any clue what's going on?

Wild SlyPokerDog guess, new Blazer Broadcast Color guy is also getting their own radio show. That way they're making enough money to lure them away from whatever job they have currently.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

ZEROES = 1
DANFORTH = 0

But that sucks for him. Corporate elbow strikes again.

 

[DaLong]

Outsourced to Seattle.

The Mikes found a new job?

Mike & Mike in the Morning would be epic.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Was he any good?

You guys heard it here first.

I wonder which of the two Mikes will be in charge of biting content from forum members, and which one will be in charge of writing songs about it.

Bunker left a few months ago and the show has gone downhill ever since. Sheldon is boring as hell. They used to talk blazers all the time but now it's a bunch of boring shit. Then you've got fucking Travis demers talking baseball exclusively on his show.

 

[Chris Craig]

Danforth is the new color guy!

 

[PDXFonz]

Danforth is the new color guy!

HCP would finally have to learn who Danforth is.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

HCP would finally have to learn who Danforth is.

Who is Danforth?

And who is HCP? FAMS?!?!?

Oh, Travis must be really good then! He knows the best sport to talk about!

HAHAHAHA POST OF THE YEAR!!!

Man, he was only 4k followers behind the Retro Gaming Expo too.

If the mikes do end up on the radio in the morning, we will get either hungover or still drunk fresh out of a party Mike Rice A LOT.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Mike & Mike in the Morning would be epic.

It's already epic on ESPN

 

[Strenuus]

It's already epic on ESPN

Epically bad.

Danforth didn't get along with Sheldon from day 1. It's tough when the new guy comes in with no experience, making more than you from the get go, and clearly not having any respect for you either.

He's also dealt with mono and depression over the past several months, so it's not surprising that he would get burnt out when work--which was basically his escape from real life--no longer becomes fun. From the chronology of the tweets, it sounds like he gave 90 days notice, and the bosses just told him "no need, you can just leave now."

Petty crappy.

Ya, super popular, hall of fame broadcasters......It is horrible

WTF?
HE is on vacation this week. HE is on vacation every other week How the hell can he be burnt out. Dan JUST joined him..

Sorry, but I listen every day and I think it has gone downhill a bit. Too often I tune in on the way to work and all the are talking about is moving or where they ate the day before or something. I was pretty mad when I came to work this Monday and listened to them for a half hour and not one mention of recent Blazers events.

Either way, kinda lame considering how often he is off anyhow....

Now what am I going to listen to during the AM commute? I wont have anything to bitch about now!

Dan comes in with tons of experience. He has been in radio for over twenty years. Not saying it was a good fit, but to say he has no experience is not accurate.

Dan is coming off as pompous though.

That would be awesome. I'd login and listen online.

Man, Portland sports radio has been trash for years. No wonder talent keeps moving on.

Incorrect. Dan's been in TV, but never in radio. Taylor had to walk him through the basics of radio, like which hours/segments get the highest listenership, or the concept of a "hard out", from day 1.

Portland sports radio generally pays very little, well under $50K a year for the working schmos who aren't already celebrities.

Ahhh... OKay, so they are generalizing when he says hes been in the biz for 20 years, he just means media, not radio.

hmmm...
All of this is wacky anyhow from the moment Bunker moved across the country for a girl. Fools move. I know. Ive done it.

Bunker and danforth had a ton of fun together. You could tell they really enjoyed working together. Dan Sheldon just has no personality and he ruined the show. I had a bad feeling from the get go when they said they were bringing in a Comcast stooge.

They put in a studio camera several months back (October, I think?), and you could see/hear Bunker & Danforth talking about anything/everything during commercial breaks, after the show, etc. Sheldon and Danforth basically don't talk during the breaks. It's palpable how bad the chemistry was.
