If you believe Jordy was fired on a whim over some interview thing that may have rubbed LSU people wrong...Then you don't get how companies like ESPN and Guaranty media actually work.

Changing a host of a regional affiliate radio station on the early morning local sports radio show seems like it's something that doesn't take much planning or whatnot and can be done suddenly...But it's not...

ESPN has a say over who broadcasts their content no matter what it is big or small. They have the final say. And they don't make rushed decisions. That's why this was done on the day before the weekend. A weekend that could see the saints final football game of the year. A weekend that will have an LSU basketball home game...So the content will be great enough to bury this story come Monday and we may even have another person entirely with T-Bob by that time. Wouldn't shock me at all.

This wasn't at all done because of a single screw up or mistake. It's been coming for some time and I absolutely guarantee that Gordy Rush knew way ahead of time. Because even the boss like him still has a boss at both ESPN and Guaranty that had to approve this to begin with. The fact it's done in the way it has been done tells me and anyone else with a brain that this was thought about and discussed a lot. Honestly I wonder if there is something we don't know yet that Jordy did that made this all come to be. Because a single thing like the interview stuff is not enough to part ways with a guy who has been there since day 1 and has a fanbase like culotta.

NOT even close to being true.My brother has been a VP in Radio for the past 25 years, currently in a top 20 market while overseeing three others markets, with two of the stations in the clusters that he runs, being ESPN affiliates.He said ESPN has absolutely zero influence or say so as to who local stations choose as host during local day-parts. None.
