Is Disney going broke

Who will be ABC/ESPN's lead announcer?

Also is Tirico going to play second fiddle to Michaels?

It looks like a bad day for Dan Hicks at NBC. He leads their golf coverage and calls Notre Dame games. Makes sense that Tirico would take those gigs.

he doesnt even get prime time CFB

He has done several prime time games and does alot of 2:30 games. He was also the lead guy on CBS before Uncle Verne took over. He's more than capable.

He's got a good voice, knows his stuff. Not sure what the complaint is.

I guess Musburger will be the lead guy for ABC/ESPN? Maybe Fowler?

College ball, sure. Don't see him making the move to NFL games.

It missed the beginning of the clip, but I gather McDonough, who was talking about the Yankee game, mentioned it was Wednesday Night Baseball, and Boone follows it up about it being a day game.

He was probably promised Micheals gig whenever he retires

until then he can collect a fat check to work less

I like Tirico all right, but he honestly needs to be golf and studio and that's it.
