        David Aldridge leaving ESPN 07/23 -
        10:21 PM
        Friday 10:18 PM EST

        ESPN's headquarters in New York has confirmed to us tonight that David Aldridge will be leaving the network after his contract expires on August 28th. At the moment no reason was stated for his departure.

        This news has been circulating around the Internet for the past few hours as it came as quite a surprise to most. Aldridge is generally considered to be the top basketball analyst in America today, or at least the most trusted, with the most trustworthy sources around. His calm and professional style of reporting will surely be missed on the worldwide leaders in Sports next year.

        TNT has already been rumored to be interested in his services.

        The 39 year-old David Aldridge was hired by ESPN as an NBA reporter in February of 1996, after working for the Washington Post.

        With Aldridge leaving ESPN next month, Steven A. Smith now appears to be their top basketball analyst. Smith is very popular amongst the younger viewers and therefore even more popular amongst potential advertisers, but his personality and style of reporting has rubbed many basketball fans the wrong way countless times over the past year.

                    I bet money he goes somewhere either in DC or something high profile in football. He started out as a beat writer for football in DC when Joe Gibbs was with the Redskins and winning, and when Gibbs came back I saw many interviews with D.A. where he sounded in awe of Gibbs and seemed to truly be nostalgic. Anyway, that immediately came to mind when I saw that he decided to leave after his contract expired. We'll see. He's better than Stephen A., so I hope he has exposure somewhere.

                        Rumor has it he was fired. Can't imagine why, unless he got fed up with ESPN's crap and told them off. I'm sure TNT would gladly have him, if he wants the job.

                        now all of the ESPN reporters are morons.


                        And to think, I was SO excited about ESPN getting the NBA. What a waste.

                            Looks like ESPN is trying to promote Stephen A. even more. When will they learn that he is not Charles Barkley? Barkley is funny, Smith is just stupid.

                            Sucks DA is going because he was the man. I just hope he doesn't end up on Fox Sports like Kellerman did. Maybe CBS Football or Fox Network Football.
