ESPN won't be the same

NBC Sports’ Dan Patrick says he expects Mike Tirico to eventually replace Al Michaels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb-tO2Uz1X4)

The Football Night in America host says he and Al Michaels’ contracts both end after the 2018 Super Bowl in Minnesota, but he has no idea (http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/tirico-to-nbc-brings-bevy-of-questions-with-very-few-answers.html) about any succession plan involving the departing (http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/breaking-news-mike-tirico-leaving-espn-for-nbc-sports.html) Monday Night Football play-by-play announcer (http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/who-will-wear-all-of-mike-tiricos-many-hats-at-espn.html). PLUS: Why Tirico dumped ESPN for NBC (http://www.newsweek.com/al-michaels-and-bob-costas-cant-broadcast-live-forever-452606).

Why Skip Bayless leaving ESPN is bad news for sports fans (http://mashable.com/2016/04/26/skip-bayless-leaving-espn/)

Bayless (http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/skip-bayless-will-leave-espn-in-august-when-his-contract-expires-headed-to-fox.html) is considered the "Michael Jordan of garbage sports commentary,” as Sam Laird notes. And that kind of commentary could thrive at Fox Sports (http://deadspin.com/source-skip-bayless-is-leaving-espn-for-fox-sports-1773145374). PLUS: Fox Sports personalities (https://twitter.com/OldTakesExposed/status/725060591161892868) don’t particularly like (http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/here-are-what-fox-sports-personalities-have-tweeted-about-skip-bayless.html) Bayless.

I prefer Skip's brother Rick who has a Mexican Cooking show "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"...

Is it me or does he seem to whisper a lot?

ESPN better cancel First Take

I'm Shocked

Trent Dilfer is supposably leaving too, but I guess no one cares about that one
