This other stuff is superfluous...and I never stated NYRA was a step up from TVG, but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it is.
I believe NYRA is on the come and TVG is stagnant, JMHO.

I will also say that y'all would be shocked at the lack of correlation between talent $$ and what channel they're on.

Was I wrong? Maybe- but we don't know all the facts on the reason he left. First I've noticed that you edit my tongue n cheek humor attempts as if I was serious. Why? Was m joking about him knocking boots that awful? I was joking. You and some people reading this are wound to tight. I was joking about his scandal. But when I see a guy with a somewhat checkered past with affairs and getting sued for unpaid bills just up and leave a network that's easily accessible thru many cable and satellite providers switch to a broadcast that's limited it makes me wonder. I love this site and it's got good info. I apologize if I've offended you or others reading this.

The guy was doing studio work for nationally televised college football, and probably will continue if I had to guess. He would seem to have a lot more going for him than being tight with TA.

Ive seen him doing studio work for college basketball also. This is a perfect off season gig.

Greg Wolf is a super nice guy. I got to know him just as an acquaintance when I lived in SoCal. As to his broadcasting career, he was doing UCLA football while in college if I remember right. He's done a lot of small stuff to move up. He's paid his dues

Greg Wolf was part of a team that, clearly, made TVG number one in the ADW space. He is a solid broadcaster who has done his job. He does his research but understands his role. He allows the experts to do their job. That is a talent that is largely overlooked these days. He has a certain "boy next door" charm that makes him easy to watch. He controls the talent and makes for a longer than normal viewing experience. He seems like a decent guy. NYRA looks like they are trying to recreate the situation that carried TVG across the finish line first.
