Doug & Wolf say goodbye: Here are our favorite memories
Aug 31, 2021, 12:59 PM
Fifteen years is a lot of time for the memories to pile up.
Doug & Wolf said goodbye with their final show Tuesday, and it was time to reflect on the impact the co-hosts made in the Valley sports scene.
A parade of guests — you can visit here for the full interview with each of them — shared their favorite memories of Doug Franz and Ron Wolfley.
And so did the co-hosts.
Doug & Wolf put together one last impromptu power poll: They ranked each of their top five moments from the show over the years.
Among them: An argument between Wolf and former NBA executive Stu Jackson explaining why Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended after the Robert Horry hipcheck on Steve Nash; Wolf wearing a wolf shirt; and their former producer getting dunked on.
Then, with their final segment, the duo gave their final thoughts before signing off.
Thanks for 15 great years, @doug987FM and @wolf987FM! pic.twitter.com/p5JY8981ym

Here is what you, our listeners, had to say about your favorite memories of the Doug & Wolf show.
Thank you Doug. I started listening to Sport talk because of you and Wolf. I believe you were part of the reason why sport talk has boom into the FM radio!

Thank you for being there every morning to brighten the day. Personally, I've been through so much in the last 15 years, and there was two things I could always count on being there – church and the Doug & Wolf Show. The mornings will never be the same. Peace and strength.
