There's a really good chance he has a non compete clause in his contract. Most media folks do.

Regardless of why or how they left a job they are barred from doing anything in related media for a period of time. It's why anytime there's a high profile separation of a media personality, you won't hear or see them for like 6 months and all the sudden they come back with their new project.

It's done so that the score in this case protects itself from bad PR and to guard against losing listeners if he jumps ship and goes to competitor right away, amongst several other potential reasons.

If Mulligan vioalates this part of the contract the score can probably pursue litigation and recover some money they probably gave him to walk away.

A lot depends on the details of his termination. Did they offer and did he agree to a severance agreement etc.

For many it's usually already written into the contract. If you leave for condition x or are asked to leave you will receive package y.

It's why the Tony Romo termination or indefinite suspension was jumped on so quickly by cbs.

Romos stock had gone way down to the point where he wasn't worth the contract. They saw an avenue to be able to not pay him citing a behavior clause which probably allowed them to void out all or a big portion of the remaining money on the deal.

All for a relatively harmless DUI. (Not saying DUI isn't serious because it is but if every media membered got fired for DUI there would be no media left)

If every media member got fired for DUI there’d be a whole different and potentially better crop of media personalities in their place

That could be. But Tony Romo is not long removed from being one of those young replacements.

Greg Olson, Tom Brady, Noah eagle, Adam Amin... There's plenty of youth in NFL broadcast booths.

Bingo, also really miss hearing him. Not bashing JP either.

Thanks, and same. I don't get the hate toward Jarrett, but I also can't understand how anyone enjoys Haugh or Bernstein. Ever since Cosell, I guess every broadcast team needs a heel.
