Todd tweeted this out a little while ago, taking a break for his health and family.

If it is alcoholism, I wish him well. After all, that is a disease just like any other.

He definitely looks like something is wrong. Good luck, Todd.

Wasn't there a pretty signifiant denial or backlash against everyone that said he looked like shite a few months ago, by either the network or McShay himself?

Good. He sounded terrible doing those live shots. Stuttering and looking off into distance when talking. Something was clearly wrong

Hopefully whatever it is, he comes back 100%

I am going to take some time away to focus on my health and my family. Thank you ESPN for being so supportive and for all the well wishes - I can’t wait to be back on the sidelines soon.

I remember watching the episode he had last year and thought it was booze and benzos. Either way I hope he can get healthy. Have always liked him.

He looked awful and was slurring/misspeaking on his sideline interviews this past weekend.

Cue Norm Macdonald.

"My friend told me he has a disease...that he was an alcoholic. I said Richie, sure you have a disease but I think you got the best one. It's the only disease that lets you drink booze all the time."

That’s one of my favorite South Park episodes every. Randy when to see the fountain of Mary and was pushing all the cancer patients assured because his alcoholism was just as real.

Looks like he may be on a long term steroid like prednisone that has him fluffy. He may have been dealing with covid long haul and steroids, BP meds, antihistamine and antidepressants may be mixed up.

looked like he was fixing to cry while he was talking about one of the OT's from Alabama.

i'm not making of him but he looked like someone who just received horrible news on live TV.

I though he might of had cancer,when I saw him on tv the other day (possibly a tumor). Radiation and steroid therapy makes your face swell...

It is NOT a disease! You can call it a mental illness, but it is not a fricking disease.

I wouldn't personally lump an avoidable disease from one that isn't. There is a distinction to be made.
