Damn, everyone is leaving ESPN. Robert Flores just left to join the MLBN. Something is up with the network. This move looks like a step back from Tirico. Unless he wants to have less responsibilities but more dough.


They've been downsizing for awhile now.

:ohhh:, but this better not Tirico also being the a possible replacement for the Doc Emrick in 5 years for the NBC's NHL coverage too, even though I am intrigued how Tirico would call a hockey game.

Looks like NBC is playing hardball with Micheals, and using Tirico as negotiating leverage.

Tirico is alright. I feel like a lot of these Breen, Turico, etc vanilla play-by-play dudes are interchangeable. Not much that distinguishes them from one another. Professional, but basic.
Tirico doesn't belong in that category. This guy can call golf, tennis, basketball, and football at a professional top level. I don't think anybody in the industry has his versatility.

None of them can touch Marv Albert now, or Marv Albert 25 years ago
