That is great news, now if Matt Thomas could get fired in Houston and come back up, 1500 would be hands down the best sports station in Minnesota.

That PMAC stock I purchased seems to be performing nicely. Many congrats and the pairing with gruff but lovable Patrick promises to be the best inter-generational ball talk ever in this market. Onward and upward…

Good luck. I was a bit shocked after listening to you do LT watch on KFAN. A steady gig seems like a better deal. Hope you will still unload on the Twins and Gardy as needed while working at the home of the Twins.

The greatest baseball mind – and possibly the only true Twins fan – on KFAN is leaving. Hmm. I was just getting used to hearing you regularly.

I may have to pop over to 1500 more, now. They have better weekend programing and now you. I hope they are as podcastable as KFAN. It’s too bad 1130 didn’t give you Common’s job and give him the boot. That is the best time of day for me to “take a break” from kfan. I learn absolutly no new info from 12-3 and if I wanted to hear replayed bits and unfunny jokes I can tune into my own mind.

Now I just may have to check out your new gig. Four words: Good luck with Reusse!!!! (you’re gonna need it)

They intimated that they wished you would have let them try to match and that they had big long term plans for you. P.A kept talking about loyalty, seemed pissed. Anyway congrats on the job, I enjoy your takes and will continue to argue with you via twitter.

P.S. Great video.

Pat, I didn’t listen to the show this morning, but I was offered things at ESPN 1500 that KFAN simply never/can’t/won’t offer.

Loved working with PA. He’s one of my best friends in the business, and he’s like a big brother to me.

But I have a lot of great stuff going on in the poker world, and I felt like ESPN 1500 offered the best combination of exposure, compensation, and work environment.

No hard feelings from my end. Although, I’m sure you’ll hear me ripped apart (directly and indirectly) on KFAN.
