    I don't listen to him regularly but I actually have enjoyed his NBA stuff.

    He had a pretty healthy entry in the Shitty Men in Media list.

    I don't know what you are getting at. I have never been to Wyoming.

    ? He seems to have some real insightful NBA thoughts and it seems as if he has his share of inside info. I have no idea where or when his show airs but as far as his on air persona, I have always found him to be about the best of the entire ESPN lot. Granted that is like being the tallest man at a midget convention.

    Chef, you seem to have a boner for "Rotillo". I am agnostic towards him, and I have found his podcasts to be better than average, and his takes to be better than average.

    I know he was found drunk in a strange apartment, but tbh, I am having a hard time believing his pants were around his ankles, and he kept his Disney job. Maybe SAS or Bob Ley could do that and keep their job. Maybe.
    Zero chance "Rotillo" could keep his job under those circumstances.

    Well, he didn't get his contract renewed and he wasn't a very high profile employee when this incident occurred just before #metoo.

    Rotillo has had other incidents where alcohol may have been a factor.
