Russillo did an interview this morning on the Pels and talked about his time at ESPN and the future . I posted it on the Pels Board.

This would almost make sense and might work if it were the 10PM Sportscenter....but midnight seems crazy.

The Late Show and Tonight Show air at 11:30 PM on the east coast. Only a thirty minute difference.

Midnight Eastern, 11pm Central, 9pm West Coast
It is after most games end and it is the prime time for Sportscenter across the country

SVP is being given the keys to the most valuable ESPN original programming in the company catalogue. He cant turn that job down.

I am sure this is also a leverage play for Russillo as well. Russillo's current contract expires in June. If he decides to stay at ESPN and they decide they want him to continue on ESPN radio, he has a much stronger position to negotiate his next contract.

Are SVP & Russillo LSU fans?!

I love this guy. He is blunt, honest, and doesn't seem to give a frick. That voice takes some getting used to, but he makes me laugh.

my crackpot theory is that ESPN believed SVP has gotten to big for radio and has been wanting him for more TV. He held out cause he liked the radio show but it was made clear that they were going to low ball Russillo's next contract.

Timmy cracks up at the same joke every time and I crack up at Timmy's reaction every time. I love that bit. It never gets old to me,

Wait--Who's the quarterback for the Ravens?

I seriously might drop my XM radio down because they are only reason I listen to ESPN radio.
