Dan Le Batard will be leaving ESPN in January, the network announced via a press release on Thursday afternoon. The finale of the Dan Le Batard Show will come on January 4, Le Batard's departure date, and will be the final day he hosts Highly Questionable.

I honestly had no idea he had multiple shows on ESPN let alone one.

His show is the easiest listen among the shite that is the ESPN radio lineup.

Firing the producer was probably the last straw.

He doesn’t need Espn anymore. He’s basically created his own version of the ringer

Yeah I am sure he will have his own deal like Dan Patrick.

But the thing is Dan is at his best when they are all having fun and making fun of how serious people take sports. That is the best version of the Lebatard show.

ESPN was able to keep his wackjob politics in check a little bit at times.

When he has his own deal there will be no one to keep him in check. It will be at least 50% wackjob unhinged loon politics and just a much worse product for it.

yes but on the flip side, him completely untethered could provide for some nice moments.

this is a big blow to the ESPN radio line up like him or not

You're probably not wrong here but on the flip side, they'll be able to do more shite that ESPN wouldn't allow him to do.

Like getting suspended for simply putting up that Lebron billboard, he'll likely be able to do more off the wall stuff like that, so that could help in that sense.

Yeah but you'll have to wade through a veritable shite river of interminable dreck to get there. Will it be worth it?

I'm sure I'll see the best things he does in twitter clips without having to hear 45 minutes of MSNBC.

They'll probably just be extremely lazy and switch Greenberg and Kellerman's show to 3 shows.
