The corporate diplomat role sounds like makeup goodwill their part for giving the NFL gig to Greeny.
I didn't realize he's been hosting for over 20 years.
I still remember when he was "Stat-Boy"
would be cool if ESPN ends up with Red Zone and has Tony Reali host it. that could work well.
wonder how realistic both are though.
Should have diversified his skillset like Marty Smith did and probably dipped out long ago.

Former ESPN host and current DraftKings Network personality Dan Le Batard may be nearing media free agency, according to John Ourand of Puck. Le Batard told listeners on his namesake radio program (which airs on the DraftKings content platform as well as Peacock) that he may be leaving the company, although Ourand notes the two sides are discussing a renewal of their current deal. The show is licensed to DraftKings via a deal with Meadowlark Media, Le Batard’s partnership with former ESPN president John Skipper.
DraftKings has also declined to renew the contracts of former ESPN personalities Mike Golic, Mike Golic Jr., and Trey Wingo, the latter of whom had only joined the company last fall. Executive Marie Donoghue, who previously worked at ESPN and Amazon Prime Video, is also set to depart the sports betting company as it transitions out of the content business.

draftking is leaving content business, what about underdog and fanduel
Think he was trying to get on Good Morning America or The Today Show, can't remember which. Didn't work out tho.
It was Good Morning America and he flamed out not even a few weeks into the gig.
looking more likely that the ESPN + NFL Media deal is on the way...watch it be announced at or right before the Draft.
