That was a good one. I was sitting there babysitting AJ’s laptop while he was on that panel. Was I wondering in the moment what secrets must be just beyond his password? Maybe…
It’s time. After 23 years with ESPN, we have mutually decided to move on. I’ve learned everything I know there, met my best friends there, met my wife there, and leave with zero regrets. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
