So, riddle me This, deadspinners. Sean says "...they had capped my ceiling. There was only so far I could go there".

Where else are you going to go and make as much money and receive as much airtime? I see all these talking heads leave, and there's not a competing entity out there. He could be an analyst on NBC's Sunday night show, but he's going to only be on for a half-hour a week, and I don't think they pay well for that.
