That is too bad. When he first came on I thought he was so bad that he never would make it to the next year. Now he is (was) one of the top analyst at ESPN. He probably pissed off an executive and that person found just enough credible evidence of sexual harassment to can him.
The bad thing is where can he go? ESPN pretty much has the national baseball broadcasting market cornered unlike football and basketball.

He could go to XM.

That's true. I didn't even thought of that market.

definitely one of the better personalities on ESPN/ABC Sports. such a shame that it's come down to this, and with no one talking, the rumors will really blow up.

He just gave her a hug. I guess he should have at least had his pants on at the time.
Also, how about Tirico with the harassment problems in the past. Now that I have that knowledge I feel like it's going to be weird watching games that he announces.

You can only be warned so many times not to flirt inappropriately with coworkers, and when you start getting physically aggressive you've pretty much crossed the line entirely

That sucks. I always liked Harold Reynolds he's 10x better than John Kruk. He's a very good commentator.
