Im surprised they didnt move Jessica Taff to nights and give this guy the morning position

 

Well he's in a sense a lot more experienced than Jessica Taff, he is the sports director for WTVG. So if all goes well maybe he has the potential to even be the next Scott Clark who is currently the sports director...

Why did they get rid of Marvell? I would ?NOT want to be the one to fire him...have you SEEN his BICEPS??!?!?!?!

 

It was Marvell himself who decided to leave to pursue a career in sports medicine, it was not WABC's decision.
