I'm assuming he backed out for bigger projects. There's never been a greater need for monotone curmudgeons in sports broadcasting.

They conducted an internal investigation into the bottles of liquor that were missing from the lounge at ESPN. Since Bill Raftery is gone, all signs pointed in the direction of The General so they had no choice but to let him go.

ESPN owns all of the UK broadcasts. They may buy his services per game, but I doubt they would allow him to slander Kentucky. If they ever do we have more problems than just Bobby's hate going against us.

this UK team would beat bobby's 76 team easily!!

Look at Knight drinking his cup of soup during the game. It's probably boiling, but he keeps telling the production assistants that it's ice cold.
