Shapiro Finally Sets ESPN And Viewers Free

It's official: ESPN overlord Mark Shapiro is leaving the network to run Redskins midget Daniel Snyder's bid to take over the Six Flags franchise. (His last day is October 1. Rest assured, you'll be hearing from him — and us — a ton.)

But we have to ask again: What kind of gimmicks will Shapiro bring to Six Flags (and, by extension, the Looney Tunes franchise)? Our guesses:

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny on Teammates? Wile E. Coyote's "ticketing-time-bomb life." "First and 10 With Elmer Fudd and Foghorn Leghorn." "Quite Frankly With Yosemite Sam."
