    Bad mistake if this is true. He is socially liberal /moderate. Those guys normally don't see good ratings in the political talk show world.

    a report was released that he is mulling this decision

    when i first heard it my initial reaction was he is just trying to get more money from ESPN...

    everybodys got an agenda

    in other reported decision mullings.... Troy Tulowitski says he's considering asking for a trade...

    Hey KLC would u be okay with the Astros trading Correa for Tulo ?

    he hasnt said he is leaving yet but i guess somebody has leaked this story

    i don't think they could easily replace him. His sports knowledge is pretty good. For some reason he talks alot more NBA than he does MLB... which i dont understand since he is white and white people usually dont pay attention to the NBA or atleast i didnt think they did

    maybe Artie Lang?

    No...no....and then no again. Barring injuries, I truly believe this kid can be the greatest Astro of all time seeing the potential he has.

    More moderate I'd think I always looked at him as a conservative to be honest you know he's a republican there's no doubt about that.

    He's claimed on his show himself that he tends to lean liberally on social issues. I don't agree with him totally on those points but like the other poster said, he is spot on with many other topics.

    He has his moments when he's spot on but I think wrong more than right and his absoluteness about everything makes him come across as a know-it-all asshole that really doesn't know that much in reality.

    He was one of the view on ESPN with an actual brain. Unlike Skip Bayless' fanboy, rooting/opinionated face who's plastered over ESPN2 every day for 3 hours

    why would he stay at ESPN, only reason is that its the biggest sports network. If he can get a few more million at Fox or CBS than go for it. Its like at anything if you are one of the best or get great ratings in any profession you want to get paid doesn't make sense for him to stay at ESPN.

    He did say on his show that he has moved to LA. Never mentioned the network change though. I like him in small doses, but man he has a few points that he hammers over and over. How QBs are most important in the NFL (Don't disagree, but how many times how many ways can you say it?) How NFL is King , blah blah blah. Anyway, let's see who replaces him, he's definitely not the worst out there.

    It's a good time for a change on both sides. Little by little I stop lisening to him. It's the same thing over and over.
