Been coming for a while, not really surprised if this turns out to be true.

I'd have to think he has something worked out to be able to still own Grantland when he leaves though, that's his baby.

There's no way he didn't have it in his contract that he takes Grantland when he leaves. He built everything there. I imagine he would lose the ESPN backed co-operation, but I bet Fox and NBC are like :blessed: right now

Yeah, i'd imagine he's going to be a Lebron-like free agent to sports networks. I wouldn't be surprised to see him bypass them and just do his own thing though. Maybe a couple guest spots here and there but i doubt he wants to jump right into being an employee again after all the shyt he went through with ESPN .

Should go to Satellite Radio, no strings, in there he can say whatever he wants. On ESPN he had to be "politically correct" to please whatever league ESPN/ABC was nuthugging.

Satellite radio pays nothing he'd be taking such a huge paycut
