Is Rich Eisen On His Way Out Of The NFL Network?

NFL Network lead host Rich Eisen guested on the Dan Patrick Show this morning and was asked about my report yesterday that he was “fearfulâ€￾ for his job after the NFL recently hired former ESPN programming chief Mark Shapiro. Shapiro was in part responsible for ESPN not renewing Eisen’s contract in 2003 - leading to his departure from the network. There’s no doubt that the folks running the NFL Network think that Rich Eisen does a fine job. But as Eisen’s contract with the network expires August 1, why hasn’t he signed a new deal? Is it unreasonable to think that newly-hired Shapiro could have a role in the renewal of his contract?

Hope not, I like Rich.

 

I love Rich, hope he gets a new contract.

 

If NFL Network lose Rich Eisen, then they might as well pack up and shut down. He's the best sports presenter around IMO.

 

It's good to be Rich.

ESPN should bring Risen back to the big leagues
enough time has been spent in the farm system

 

Eisen is just the best. He freakin started that network basically.

 

It's hard to cross a bridge once you've burned it.

 

calling the NFL network the farm system is hilarious. They are so much better than ESPN.
