I'll admit that I only listen for about 15mins a day while driving to and from my house during lunch, but it seems his tone towards his network and especially his superiors has really soured ever since he got the boot from his Sportsnation Show.

Anyone else pick up on this? I know lame topic but don't care about NFL playoffs now so not much else to discuss.

was he actually let go from that or did he quit? i know he says he quit because it was getting to be too much for him but that could just be lip service.

Maybe he wants out of his contract?

He is consistently a douche. I started listening to sports radio at work, and the more I listen to some guys the more I realize I don't like them. Rian Riscillo (sp) is a great example. Used to like him alot, but it's really waned. Mike Detillia (sp) is another.

I forget what the story was, but I remember him in the last year saying he identifies with the little guy stuck working for the man and that he'll be moved on one day, but the ESPN machine will keep rolling. It made me think he'd be gone in a year or two.

According to Cowherd, he voluntarily left Sportsnation. He's really tight with Beadle, so when she left I don't think he was all-in on the show anymore.

He is kind of glib when he talks about ESPN at times, he definitely plays with fire a little bit in that regard.

Cowherd voluntarily quit SportsNation, didn't want to move out to LA.

Russillo gives off a "too cool for school" vibe that I can't stand. Kind of hope Svp goes back to a solo act. He is the talent.

He's mentioned a few times that he now owns a wine shop and I think he is just staying at ESPN until he is comfortable with the shop being his only source of income. I think once he is at that point he will let the espn contract expire and never be heard from again.

This is a little off topic but one of my best friends, the Video Professor, did a spot on Sportsnation a few years ago. LINK
