    Are we just talking about Highly Questionable? I definitely tuned out after Papi became less of a fixture.

    Still love the radio show, but that's mostly because of Stugotz, Mike Ryan, Billy Gil, Greg Cote, etc.

    I thought a big part of Dan leaving was him and all those guys parting ways? At least stugotz.



    EDIT: Not that it matters now, he wont have a show anymore.

    Never huge into Highly Questionable but love the radio show. The Shipping Container is so great and Greg Cote Tuesdays are fantastic.

    I think the chances of Dan re-upping with ESPN or ESPN wanting to re-up with him were always slim to none. All parties involved being free agents only solidified his leaving.

    If they could, ESPN would just create a Mike Greenberg robot that hosted every show they have.

    ya, I know a guy who is Cuban who personally knows Dan, since 1997. Dan's definitely Cuban and speaks Spanish with a Cuban accent.

    NBA, MNF, and CFB are really it and it's mainly NBA of the three. It's a pretty garbage network otherwise.

    The Jump is watchable occasionally when there's good topics. Other than that, it's pretty terrible.

    Pollack sucks, and so does McAfee. McAfee's entire schtick is just being loud and obnoxious while wearing shitty clothes he picked up at Spirit Halloween. And yet, he's the one collecting a massive salary while actual professionals with actual expertise on something other than being a flaming douche bag get sent packing.

    Couldn't have said it any better! They're both just terrible, terrible "analysts". Get rid of both of them, imo.
