Wow!
I thought he worked for that ESPN station that Danny owns... Is he trying to get fired?
Is he drunk here? We know how he likes to hit the bottle.
Hilarious stuff.
I live here. Danny basically fired him a year ago when he bought the stations. He didn't renew his contract... but essentially the same thing

Sports-talk programs on WTEM will be carried simultaneously on at least four of the six stations that Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting controls. The stations include WTEM, which Red Zebra bought in early June, and three smaller stations originally known as Triple X ESPN Radio. Snyder bought the Triple X stations when he entered the radio business in 2006.
Among other moves, Red Zebra will announce -- possibly as early as today -- that it will drop "The John Riggins Show" from its simulcasts. Riggins, the Commanders Hall of Fame running back, was the marquee personality on Triple X, but his afternoon talk show failed to deliver much of an audience.

On July 21st 2008, radio listeners throughout the Washington DC Metro area tuned to ESPN Commanders Radio at 4:00 pm to listen to their favorite radio personality, John Riggins. To their dismay, The John Riggins radio show was no longer on the air. In early June, Commanders owner Dan Snyder reached a deal to buy three local AM radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, including Sportstalk 980 WTEM. The deal essentially gave Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting control over sports talk radio in Washington. As a result ESPN Commanders Radio and Sportstalk 980 WTEM have combined into ESPN 980. The new radio lineup doesn't include the John Riggins Show and this is your chance to tell Dan Snyder and Red Zebra Broadcasting VP of Operations Dennis Glasgow, just how you feel by signing the petition below.
