Rush was one of the people who interviewed for the MNF job a few years ago - people wanted him to tap into his 20 million fan base.
From what I read, the raiting were up significantly ( in TV terms) for the show since Rush was on it.
I personally like Rush, but thought the football thing was akward - having him away from the others, seperated - it was forced. Hwoever numbers were up.
ESPN did get what they want, their rating numbers up - at the end of the day its all business.
I am sure they forced him to resign, or else they would have canned him.... we see the leaving on my own, and we will still be friends thing over and over again - even in this industry!
