- Rumors and controversies
The initial controversy experienced by the writercame from his profession. The Baseball Hall of Shame banned him, for a year, from denying him access to a sports news site known as Deadspin by giving him the right to vote for baseball player picks.
A second controversy in the writer’s life was when he was suspended from ESPN for a few days in August 2014 for referencing a billboard in Akron, Ohio that read “You are Welcome,” Lebron . Love, Miami”
- Net value
His job as a columnist earns him an annual salary of $45,000 and his estimated net worth of $1 million in 2016 reached $2 million in the first quarter of 2018. An upward revision in his net worth is expected to take place by the end of the year, as he is still active in sports analysis.
- Social media presence
The famous ESPN sports columnist is active on social, his Twitter account has amassed over 341 followers, but the sports writer is nowhere on Instagram and Facebook. Twitter seems to be his only contact with his fans and the public.
