950/102.9 KJR has Dave on occasionally, and they interview Ross and players and coaches a couple times a week, and they put up a poll this morning to ask listeners how much they should talk about the Sounders and other what they termed niche sports during the down time when there's little football and basketball on and when the Mariners are usually out of the race.

So go vote for More than normal, maybe then they'll include the Sounders audio calls in their morning montages and talk about them a bit more than they have been, which they're doing a better job of than 710 already.

MLS hosts these PDFs every week for every matchup, they're the handbook for the commentators and writers working the games. Much like the gameday programs a good chunk is the same from week to week, but the stats and matchup tidbits are fresh every week and for number and stat freaks they're pretty awesome.

I'm guessing a lot aren't aware of these as I haven't seen these linked or commented about here before so I wanted to share the knowledge. NFLmedia.com does the same thing but requires a login that I was able to get with faked credentials as they ask for it upon registration.

This is Columbu's feed, also at DC's and Chicago's websites but it's all the same feed, same quality.

Jaqua and Noonan were available as Boss and Graham retired, and neither were selected.

Could be worse I guess, but the fact that it happened at all is disgusting, and this means he's probably out of the LHUSOC Final.
