Not sure if...




...this is a good or bad thing.  In fact, I'm not even sure this will end up being a thing at all--wouldn't surprise me if they came to an 11th hour compromise, since Bill generates clicks and ESPN could give a flying cunt about anything other than clicks (and TV eyeballs).  But for now, I'm going to enjoy it.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, you fucking jackass.

I would get a lot more pleasure out of this if I watched any of the fucking tripe on ESPN, but it is nice to see them boot him out the door and undercut his bargaining position with any future employers. Also, if the report about him finding out the news via Twitter is true, that's just an extra bonus for his pompous ass to be blindsided like that.

I'm gonna gues he was sleeping at 8AM Eastern when the news was released.

Wonder what he'll do between now and September. First whiff of attitude and he'll get another paid vacation.

I think it actually came out around 10:30 EST. And it's not like it was a spur of the moment decision. It sounds like Skipper had been planning it for weeks and just hadn't told anyone. Hell, Walsh spoke with Skipper the night before, and he didn't mention it then.

I think he's gonna toe the line between now and September. He'll cost himself money in future negotiations if he acts like a spoiled brat. He'll still be wildly overpaid, regardless of where he goes, though.
