|  #1 Posted on 19.11.10 0949.20 | Instant Rating: 7.08 | A memo from the editors (mediabistro.com) says he'll take a larger role at ESPN. He had been with the paper for almost 32 years.
As a former newspaper guy, I recognize the departure is a blow to the paper, but he's clearly an engaging TV presence, and his NBA work on ABC is solid. This makes sense.
Also, if he could work a regular ESPN.com column like Sports Guy, he could compete as that network's online basketball guy.

I assumed he already took one of the many buyouts that the Post has offered over the years.

Well, he was already an ESPN employee first and a WAPO employee second for a few years now. This just makes it official.
Adios, Mayor McCheese.
You will not be missed from the Post (anyway).
