’s longest-tenured reporter, is retiring Monday after 32 years at the sports network. The two-time Sports Emmys winner had last signed a multi-year deal in 2018 and of late had been a fixture on the 6 p.m.
He also covered high-profile stories like Joe Paterno’s last days at Penn State, the Tonya Harding case and the impact of the Flint, MI water crisis on young athletes. The reporter, who eschewed social media and was known for asking straightforward questions, said Friday that he knew his 2018 contract would be his last.
“Using a sports cliché – I’ve put it all out on the field,” he said. “I have plenty more to give, and I’m a young guy in good health, but there’s a lot more in my life that I’m looking to do right now, and I just want to enjoy the freedom that retirement offers.” He added: “It’s just so great in a business like this where there’s so much turmoil and so much turnover, to have been given the opportunity to put together this type of run with this company is extraordinary And I’m grateful and honored to have done it.”
