Neat fellow, I even watched him – and I'm bored silly by even three minutes of sports coverage. Talked <i>to</i> all his viewers, not <i>at</i> them. Seemed to give us credit for being smart. Made sports accessable and interesting.<br /><br />Then, just like the kind of firing wave that excused Rod, Lou was just gone. Finito. Steve Arena, a former KATU sports anchor, was back – suddenly, no explanation, no reason. From Arena, whose approach spoke more to just the sports fans (they really promoted that he was a coach in his off hours) we evolved into the endless tedious jocularity of the Carlson years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-90304747482989403172009-07-31T18:05:01.943-07:002009-07-31T18:05:01.943-07:00I was honored to meet Rod in person just once.

A more unflappable, affable, ready-to-chat, personable person I've not met lately.<br /><br />You'll be happy to know that, even though I have no idea of his employment opportunities, he's developing his website <a href="http://rodhillforecast.com" rel="nofollow">(www.rodhillforecast.com)</a> and if you get on his mailing list, you'll get nifty emailed forecasts. He's also on Twitter (@rodhillforcast).<br /><br />Northwest weather for northwest people.

Don't forget what they did years ago to Lou Gellos and the Steve Arena sports problem. There have been so many shown the door you begin to wonder who is in charge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
