But people don’t need to point that out every single Saturday when he’s on TV and call for the man to be removed from the show that he helped build into one of the most popular sports studio shows of all time.
Last weekend, Twitter was filled with nasty messages such as, “Corso needs to retire,” and “ESPN should stop trotting him out there,” and worse.
