I have always wondered why he was replaced on Around The Horn. After leaving ATH, he briefly had his own show, which was pretty damn good, on either MSG or Fox Sports.

He was horrible on ATH and even worse as a boxing analyst.

Did put out a hilarious rap single back in the early '90s.

Mike & Mike and Jim Rome aren't anywhere near similar. You want bad sports anchors?

Dan Sileo - speaks like Shatner, if Shatner was a mongoloid

In short, he had a salary dispute with ESPN and opted out. Shortly thereafter, his younger brother, Sam, was murdered by a former boxer. He's an excellent boxing analyst and I hope he gets a big gig, which could revitalize boxing e.g. Inside the NFL or a high-end Friday/Sat Night Fights.

yes, it seems he handled his brother's death pretty well, especially on air. i heard it wasn't so much a salary dispute with espn as HBO paid him ridiculous amounts for boxing, but espn wanted him either in CT or DC, and he wanted to stay in NYC being a bronx native, and living in manhattan with his gf. tony reali was a watered down dyke in comparison.

Yes, but due to PPV, HBO only airs matches 4-5 times a year. The current state and appeal of boxing is unfortunate imo.
