Re: Tom Jackson retiring from ESPN

He's been pretty good for years.  I'd completely forgotten about his appearance on Sliders.

ESPN is losing a lot of talent.  I've heard the network is in trouble due to some of the big contracts they've given out recently.  I've also heard they're cutting costs on talent because a) everyone wants to work for them and b) the games themselves are the draw - not the personalities.  Should be interesting to see what happens down the line.
