Duncan Returns Following Brain Tumor Treatment

1-30-2013
On Monday, former St. Louis Cardinal Chris Duncan will return to work at Hubbard's WXOS (ESPN) in St. Louis. Duncan has been dealing with intensive surgeries, treatments, and physical/occupational therapy for a brain tumor that was diagnosed in 2012. He has been absent from his full-time co-host seat since October 8, 2012 but recently has been appearing on ?The Fast Lane? for brief interviews during his treatment.

Hubbard St. Louis Market Manager John Kijowski said, ?Chris Duncan is a key member of our successful on-air team, and his presence has truly been missed on the 101 ESPN airwaves. We?re relieved that he has recovered, and we?re thankful to have him back and healthy.? Duncan said, ?I?m really excited and grateful to be back on ?The Fast Lane? with Randy and D?Marco. I?m blessed to work at a great place like 101 ESPN with such outstanding people, and the timing couldn?t have been better with spring training a couple of weeks away.?

Bruno Off The Air Following "Illegal Alien" Comment

There are several reports stating that Tony Bruno has been suspended for a week for tweeting that a San Francisco Giants pitcher was an illegal alien. He was not on the air last night yet nothing official about a suspension has been posted on Bruno's Facebook or Twitter pages or the KNBR radio website. Bruno did post the following message on his Facebook page: "Thank you Piolin for the prayers and thoughts. My family and real friends keep me strong because they know who I am and what I am. Threatening my life or wishing bad things makes those of you who resort to this truly troubled."

Bruno posted the inflammatory tweet about Giants pitcher Ramon Hernandez after Hernandez beaned Shane Vicorino of the Phillies. For the record, Hernandez is not in the country illegally and some are taking Bruno's comments as racist. He removed the tweet less than a minute later and apologized on the air. The tweet had already gone viral before Bruno took it down and the wave of controversy has not stopped since. Victorino was suspended for three games for rushing the mound. A bench clearing brawl followed.
