Peter Gammons Leaving ESPN

[BoSox21]

“My decision to leave ESPN and move on at this point in my life has been conflicted. I owe a great deal of my professional life to ESPN, having spent more than half of my 40 years in journalism working for the network, and the choice to move on was made with nothing but the strongest feelings for the people with whom I worked. ESPN gave me a great deal more than I gave it, and will always be a huge part of who I am."

 

Gammons Ends Hall of Fame Run with ESPN

I wonder where he goes from here. MLB network perhaps? I doubt he retires. If he went to MLB Network they would have an incredible lineup of insiders in Gammons, Heyman, Rosenthal, and Verducci.

[yeszir]

The guy did have a major stroke. I wouldn't say retirement is out of the picture.

Next stop: Old age home, drooling, dementia and then death.

[jacksonianmarch]

He had a subarachnoid bleed that was not major. Major subarachnoid bleeds do not recover like he did. He was lucky, but I am pleased that he recovered like he did. I am glad he left on his own terms. He brought a lot of info to the table, most of it biased and wrong, but probably less wrong than the next guy. So be it, that's the age we live in today. Maybe we can get a former NY Post hack in there so we dont have to listen to the Red Sox love day in and day out

You choose to post at a Red Sox message board yet that annoyed you?

Exactly right.

[redsoxrevenge]

I would guess that his journalistic standards are much higher than the standards he has for an internet message board.

I expect it here. It shouldnt be a part of a website that is supposed to be impartial

And he is going to MLB Network! Great pickup for them. I'll NEVER have to watch ESPN for baseball coverage AGAIN! Despite his Red Sox bias I've always been a big Gammons fan, and know he will do well being added to that superstar lineup they have. It should be announced tomorrow.

Even though he has Sox bias he is still really baseball smart. HUGE UPGRADE for MLB.

I will never forget how he said that by the end of Damon's contract, Crisp would be better.

 

I do like him though as an analyst. All I watch besides porn these days is MLB Network, so that's cool.

You'd be in heaven if you could combine the 2, huh? Maybe one day Bob Costas and Tony Clark will get it on during a broadcast and fulfill your wildest fantasies.

 

 

 

 

Honestly though it sucks Gammons is leaving ESPN, I enjoyed seeing him on there. I really should try to get an MLB Network subscription.

Yeah, Damon was a fantastic CF for the Yanks.......Oh wait......

[Dipre]

Gammons will be a studio analyst and a reporter for NESN. He'll also work for MLB Network.

Who cares? LF, CF...he produced on the field. Crisp's biggest contribution was being traded for Ramirez...who wasn't all that good anyways.

If THIS was the case, then ABSOLUTELY.

You would have cared if it benefited your argument. Simple as that.

[Gom]

Not really. Just going to show that even though I really like Gammons, he tended to be optimistic due to his fandom when it pertained to the Red Sox.

 

Crisp better than Damon at the end of Damon's contract.

 

Smoltz will be the best pitcher in the AL East.

 

I laughed at both of them...WHEN he said them.

[26 to 6]

In addition to MLB Network and MLB.com Gammons will be joining NESN as well.

So much for toning it down after heart problems.

[Wells]

Thank Christ he's done with those f***ing hacks at ESPN.. I love MLB Network.. the non-stop baseball coverage is awesome and it sure beats having to wait for all the goddamn football coverage to get done with IN JULY just to hear some baseball talk..

 

Awesome move for Gammons, MLB and NESN.. f*** ESPN with a big rubber dick.

I knew he would be going to NESN in some capacity. Made too much sense. Covering your favorite team to wrap up a HOF carrer ain't too shabby either.

ESPN is gay for the Yankees

Agreed Wellsy!! Just wish my Fios package had NESN, of course I get the fk'n YES network which I never watch.

 

ESPNFL sucks and it's football coverage is ENDLESS.

[a700hitter]

Has anybody seen Gammons on NESN pre or post-game coverage of the Sox games? I have seen him on the post-game show and he seems a little bit slow in understanding and reacting to the conversation. He also seems to be slurring a bit. It could be residula effects of his massive stroke a few years back.

[Spudboy]

He looks like death warmed over too.
