Fat Boy Dan contract won't be renewed by ESPN

[DARTH SILKWORMS]

According to Rick Glaser

It has now been confirmed to yours truly that the Original ESPN Fatman Dan Rafael will definitely not get his contract renewed by ESPN on his current contract concludes. The handwriting was on the wall when ESPN hired well known writer Steve Kim, and ESPN.com dropped Rafael's Friday Chat that was weekly, claiming the software was out of date, which was just an excuse. So once he is nolonger at ESPN, Rafael will now just be simply "the Fatman"

Glaser is four months late.

Old news. Everyone has known this for months.

The irony of a publication named the Athletic hiring a fat waster in Dan Rafael...

[REDEEMER]

I don't know I think about Fat Boy Ice Cream sandwhiches when I see those words.

I was thinking a show or commentary or something random not writing. Imagine he could freelance his writing.

But yea the Athletic. I hate that name btw

How do you feel about dazn?

They literally had to take out an ad campaign to try to teach people how to pronounce it lol.

DAZN should pick him up. He knows the sport and is a solid writer.

He makes the 'writers' for boxingscene look amateurish.

I called it D A Z N, spelling out the words for about a year lol. Dazone overall reminds me of Autozone Lol. It's an alright name.

Sucks for Dan. Hopefully he finds a soft landing spot.

His fat behind?
