Yep. There was an incident with Holly Rowe as well. It's like he kind of went off the rails at the end, or perhaps he did stuff like that his whole career and it started to come out towards the end.Among other missteps…
He was an Hall of Fame announcer who disrespected and spoke down to his female colleagues.
Both things can be true.
Yea but in his defense they said some dumb things. All the female sideline reporters have ever been for the most part have been eye candy. Most of the time they offer little to zero informative news of substance and the coaches usually hate being interviewed by them at halftime.Among other missteps…

They could do without the Holly Rowes and the other sideline reporters and be just fine during a broadcast of a game but they can’t make it without the broadcasters such as Franklin and Gus Johnson and others.

I always wondered why he was moved off the main game after the 2005 season. He was the face of ESPN's college football coverage as far as play-by-play, but got demoted to ESPN2 and wasn't given all that many big games.
I don’t want anyone that treats females that way regardless if sideline reporters exist or not. Just because you’re good at your job doesn’t mean you get to be a mysogynist. Especially on live television.They could do without the Holly Rowes and the other sideline reporters female or male and be just fine during a broadcast of a game but they can’t make it without the broadcasters such as Franklin and Gus Johnson and others.

I’m guessing he operated in Ron Burgundy mode for a long time, before there were real consequences for doing so.
When those times changed, he couldn’t reprogram his muscle memory.
