He has had to scale way back from the podcast that made him famous. I read a story about how the long time exec’s at ESPN were trying to kill the deal.

But he was just to big a deal with too many followers to not pay him to keep him from spending three hours a day whooping them in ratings and talking sh##t about the network or the established traditional sports outlets.

Remember when the networks went heavy on the disclaimers when Morton Downey was popular…..it is that way on this show almost on the return from every commercial break. He is beeped out so much that most times you lose the whole point or even subject he is discussing.

But when people click on your schtick millions of times and you develop leverage. I think it is hilarious that ESPN was manipulated into having to keep his show on air after their plan was to give it a shot and dump it. Oops that plan backfired. I never paid attention to him until he and ESPN started going at it and found his side of the argument easier to side with than ESPN.
