A local media gossip site was given this email from the Post:

Quote
We are sorry to announce that Howard Bryant will be leaving us at the end of this month to join the ranks of ESPN. Although he has been with the Post for less than two years, Howard has established himself as a huge asset to the Sports department. He played a major role in our coverage of the Washington Redskins the last two seasons as one of our two beat writers. It goes without saying that we will miss Howard tremendously. We wish him all the best.

This is 100% true. Had it last week but couldn't get anyone at ESPn to talk, and didn't have an address for Bryant.

Another big move coming .. will be up within 15 minutes ...

I heard awhile back that the WWL tried to hire Bryant to replace Whitlock and settled on my favorite columnist...

Great hire... Bryant is great...

Fantastic. If you're going to replace Whitlock, best to do it with someone who wouldnt be caught dead writing the self-parodic shit Whitlock spewed.

But Bryant's not one to tolerate fools. I wonder how that will jibe with working for the worldwide leader in stupidity.

Bryant will happily take the check from ESPN. You won't see him writing much, either.
