Todd McShay taking break from ESPN (health)

DanMetroMan : 9/7/2021 3:28 pm
Todd McShay, a popular veteran NFL Draft analyst and college football sideline reporter for ESPN, announced today that he is temporarily stepping away from his duties with the network where he has been a fixture since 2006.

“I am going to take some time away to focus on my health and my family,” McShay tweeted. “Thank you ESPN for being so supportive and for all the well wishes. I can’t wait to be back on the sidelines soon.”

good for him, looks like he's been gaining weight

I'm not fat shaming. But could be an indicator of any number of other concerns. If he needs time off, I'm glad he's taking it.
He sounded off

I wasn't aware of that so just looked it up. Agree with your assessment...see video clip.

Seems like McShay might have an alcohol problem. If so, good for him and ESPN to give him the time and space to get help.

I was thinking the same thing. Whatever it is I hope he's ok.....
Always liked the guy, so this isn't me shitting on him ...

but he seems drunk there. Pretty simply put.

Maybe that appearance put him over that line when a drinker does it away from work and it's bad enough, but then the crossover, and it happens AT work.

Good luck to him, whatever the case.

That's a prednisone face. Unfortunately one segment of the extended family had auto immune issues requiring prednisone. That moon face. Hope all goes well for him.

Good catch. Can't delete since I'm not the OP, but my bad for not catching that clip embedded in the article was not from the same weekend when the story broke.

Like Joe Namath? I remember watching that live and thinking "Is he DRUNK?" as did a bunch of other BBI'ers who were on that thread that afternoon

He sounds sloshed in that November 2020 video. I'm not a HUGE McShay fan, but I obviously hope he gets his life in order ASAP. Wishing him the best.
