That Marchland report about Bomani Jones that he and some others on this site downplayed last year might be true after all. ESPN typically doesn't let talent contract expire or go to the last minute, so it's more than likely that he's leaving.

I liked Bomani on ATH/HQ, outside of that don't really care for his content. I can handle him in doses

To Bo’s credit he has acknowledged that he comes across as condescending/arrogant/jerk and he has to work on that. I haven’t watched or listened to him in a while so I don’t know if he’s actually changed anything.
I remember listening to The Evening Jones a few years back and he read a question from a fan and Bo out of nowhere went off on him. It was some benign question and Bo just flipped out.
I was catching the pods during the NBA playoffs and he still had the same "know it all" attitude and going off on team fanbases. only interactions on the pods were with other media folks but dude swear he knows everything about this team and that player while at the same admitting he doesn't even stay up to watch the games,To Bo’s credit he has acknowledged that he comes across as condescending/arrogant/jerk and he has to work on that.

He's trying his best to not go back to working under Dan. He's said it on his podcast. Bomani usually takes a monthly vacation around this time, but he's making it sound like he's done. They're slowly fading out those Skipper hires at ESPN.

i's take a network of lebatard (and crew), amin & harper, pablo, elle, izzy, mina, and even tho they aint always my cup of tea, foxworth & bo, plus some jemele and mike smith...all the networks are built toward capturing white men 40-70, would be cool to try to corner the 25-50 more diverse/ok with diversity market
anyway, does Bo do anything at ESPN at this point aside from his podcast? not gonna miss him and i def aint checkin for him on HBO, him being in the orbit of lebatard was the only thing that made me able to stomach him

Nope and that's why a lot of people started questioning whether he was going to stay there long term. I don't even necessarily blame him for dipping out considering that they took High Noon away from them and it's obvious that Pablo is going to replace TK on PTI. At least Bo finally learned to look out for himself rather than wanting to stick with Pablo and whatever he was doing.
He comes off as an a$$hole…kinda hard to just up and change that
Jason Benetti is leaving ESPN to become #2 college football on FOX announcer. Makes sense with this Peacock MLB announcer stuff as well. Also, looks like Joe Davis will be #2 for NFL On FOX
