I honestly thought some of the online attacks (ie falling asleep, how he described the voting of the Pope) would get to him. Apparently not:

Of note: his Sunday morning NFL show is added to CBS Sports Radio. And Neil Best added that he keeps his $5 million/year salary.

..his Sunday morning NFL show is added to CBS Sports Radio.

So it'll still be heard on 66 AM!

Also, he said in his opening hour today that when this new contract expires in December 2017, that's it for him.

He won't retire in 2017, unless it's because of health.

He won't retire... his ego won't let him. He will die on the air just like Mr. Imus
