Bill Raftery leaving ESPN for Fox Sports 1
Posted Jun 28, 2013
I've done my best and, as you can see, have somehow succeeded in not elbowing in a Bill Raftery-related pun into this opening sentence. The winsome Raftery, a college basketball color commentator for the past three decades, is leaving ESPN to work for the upstart national network, Fox Sports 1. The news was first reported by The Big Lead.
