Could be a true retirement? Or just a move to weekly tv and/or podcasting......I'm thinking the latter, since control over schedule would probably be the only other thing he'd care about at this point.
I think it's a real retirement. Mike's a workhorse, but he's getting pretty old and still has young children. Plus, he's made a shit ton of cash in recent years and actually does have 'fuck you' money.
I think even with that, he'd do some kind of weekly thing, because he's still going to be watching sports and having opinions. It's not like having to keep doing edgy humor in your old age.
Good point. Sports are in his blood, even if broadcasting isn't. Horse Racing seems to be his major passion, even though he can't bring too much of that passion to the radio. I haven't listened to him regularly in years, but I think 10 years ago owned and raced horses at Saratoga. I could see him investing heavily into the ponies.

That Katie Nolan broad is quite a "looker" as CQ would say. I just wish she would leave more to the imagination with the outfits!!

I bet he goes and reunites with Russo. IIRC he only does 3 hours a day now.

I doubt it....they might enjoy that for a weekly show, but not day-in, day-out.

Much like O&A, they are only good together.
