    I remember Dwight once doing a favorable translation for Jon Busch.

    I don’t remember details, but some play involving him had just finished, and the opponent was in his face a little. Busch just rolled his eyes, looked sideways at the guy, and said “f*** off.” Like four times. Plain as day.

    Dwight: “Busch would like him to please go away.”

    Dwight gone. Pipa gone. Steffen gone. Trapp gone. Stadium soon to be gone. Dear lord a lot is changing. I know it's for the better, but it's a bit overwhelming. Have to make up for the years of neglect and apathy I suppose.

    Not at the present time, no. Who knows what the future holds, but nothing to that effect is in the works at this moment.

    Might have some other news for 2020 in the coming weeks though.

    @Sirk could tell the story much better than I ever could, but there was one time he was in a press box with Dwight (I hope it was Dwight, considering this is a thread about him) and the announcers of the other team were in the neighboring box. They started papering the wall with what looked like logos of the other team. I won't give it all away, but the only thing Sirk and Dwight had was some little tiny Crew logo...

    That was with Neil in Seattle. There is a glass wall between the visitor's radio booth and the home TV booth. A guy in the TV booth kept taping Sounders logos to the window. At first I thought it was funny little jab, but he just kept going and going. He probably taped like 15 of them to the window before I decided I'd had enough. I tore the Crew logo out of the game notes and taped it facing into the Sounders booth. The guy started laughing.

    Not because I got him back.

    Because I am a dolt.

    He flipped one of the cards around and showed me they were the ad spots Arlo White needed to read on the air. They just taped them to the wall and would pull them off and hand them to him at the appropriate time. They wrote them on Sounders index cards, so he wasn't actually wallpapering our booth with the Sounders logo as a prank. He was merely taping Arlo's ad reads to the wall for easy access.

    Despite him driving me nuts at times, I will miss Dwight. 24 years is a pretty good run, however.
