Sometimes, the smarter and more talented man gets tired of playing second fiddle to his aging and inferior boss.
Gault bites his tongue on the reg when Rojo shows his brutish side. I’ll recount one recent moment. On this week’s podcast, the crew discussed the 2024 Boston Marathon broadcast. During this sequence, Gault referenced the poor quality of Juan Louis Barrios’ ESPN commentary at the 2023 NYC Marathon. Rojo followed with “Look, they made a DEI hire on their last ESPN broadcast...” Rather than cite the specific aspect of Barrios’ work that was problematic (such as, ”...they hired someone with poor English who was difficult for some to understand...”), he equates Barrios’ assumed employment class (DEI hire) with incompetence. Gault surely noticed this ugly conflation and might have even thought to check his boss straightaway. He didn’t (hopefully he had a word with Rojo off-air). But sometimes, as we’ve seen and heard, enough is enough.

Rojo can be an idiot, but he was actually correct there. Debatable whether he should say it out loud but he's not factually wrong.

nah. that was absolutely a DEI hire. they all bitched about it when it happened in the fall. they are all on the same page there. there was zero reason to hire him outside of meeting some sort of a quota or quite simply checking a box.
