I assume this means he's leaving Bud and the Manchild, to which I call into frequently. I'll miss him. I didn't used to like him when I just read his columns but when I retired and started listening to the show, I got to like him and found him to be a nice, if somewhat eccentrics guy. He has a wealth of knowledge of sports on a personal basis. He never cared about the contests nearly as much as he cared about the people. His interests were much broader than sports. He didn't care about recruiting ratings, the NFL draft, breaking down games,. etc.  He had met anybody and everybody you can name and his observations of them were always interesting.

He could be dismissive and that came across in print as arrogant or cold. But he was far from arrogant or cold that in person. He had his likes and dislikes. But he was fun to listen to in his interaction with Jim Lersch, "The Manchild". You could tell he liked people and enjoyed telling their stories. I think to him, that's what sports was really about. I will miss him.
