this week while I was down in Salt Lake City.  First, longtime KGON jock Mike Turner was let go.  I’m not 100% on it, but I think he’d become a Jack of All Trades for Entercom.  At least I seem to recall hearing him pop-up on more than one station over the last few years.  Lynn at OMI said it best when she said he’d been spinning records since the Beatles were still around.  The single best thing KGON has going for it is their personalities.  From Iris to Marty to Glynn to Gloria, they’re like listening to old friends.  That station is comfort food for me.

Also let go this week was Gavin Dawson.  The People’s Champion!  He was hands down the smartest guy at KFXX.  He’d been there for seven years, working his way up from coffee boy all the way to hosting Blazer post-game shows and a weekend morning show.  He was/is the one of the best NBA minds around.  If pressed, he could probably name 80% of every NBA roster off the top of his head.  There was a time I could have done that, but I completely lost interest in the league about a decade ago.  Dawson, along with ESPN’s Bill Simmons, brought me back in.

I’ve only met Dawson once.  I was invited to a radio guys poker game.  Dawson was the best player there, but ended up finishing out of the money.  As I recall, I did alright.  We’ve also exchanged emails a few times but not for a while.  I’ve heard second-hand that he took umbrage with a post I wrote on my OregonLive blog taking Canzano and The Fan to task for not acknowledging they were wrong about the 2006 draft.  Canzano was specifically beside himself when the Blazers took Tyrus Thomas (later traded to the Bulls for Aldridge) over Morrison.

The Blazers went on to fire Steve Patterson the day Adam Morrison’s Charlotte Bobcats came to Portland, so no mea culpa was given.  Nor has one ever been given.  Except by Dawson.  I should have pointed that out.  I didn’t and that was my fault.

Dawson’s a tireless worker who crated a helluva situation for himself at The Fan.  Entercom let a good one go.  Here’s hoping he can find a new gig quickly.  Are you listening Rick Emerson?

Walking into the arena tonight, I passed Ken Hodge, who was walking out.  We nodded to each other and said hello.  Had I any stones at all, I would have asked him about all the fuss that’s transpired in the last 24-hours.

The thing is, he doesn’t know me from Adam.  And even if I’d introduced myself and mentioned The Vig, he still wouldn’t have told me anything.  Such is Ken Hodge.  Its part of why we love him.

So Hodge is still around.  For how long?  I think only he, and maybe Goldsmith, knows for sure.  My guess?  I’ll set the over-under at 24-hours after the trade deadline.  I’ll take the under.
