No, not me, Big Money Tony. Tony Kornheiser accepts a buyout from the Washington Post. He of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption and Monday Night Football. Also less known for his radio show on 3WT Radio, which is one of my "go to" radio shows even though I live and die on the iPod. In previous versions of the radio show, I blasted the show, which in hindsight, I was blasting that radio station. Even possibly less known about Mr. Tony is that he is a regular panelist on Full Court Press, a local show hosted by former sportscaster George Michael (not the singer) and also his more than occasional stints on the Redskins Report, also host by the same George Michael on WRC4.
As a life-long Washingtonian, I always enjoyed reading Kornheiser's columns in the Washington Post. It was bad the day he wrote his last Style section column, which I think coincidentally was the same day the Style section as a whole died a little bit. Then a few years ago, with his ever increasing TV duties, his sports column became "columnettes" as he came to call them.
For now, at least, he appears to be keeping his PTI and MNF duties. The radio show will go on hiatus in a month or so as Mr. Tony takes vacation and prepares for Monday Night Football duties.
As little as he has written for the Post in the past few years, he will be missed by many. Some do think he is a talentless writer, but that is not the opinion shared by many. So as I write this on an "e-mail machine", I'm confident there's no chance Mr. Tony will read it.
