So Big head (Orange on a toothpick) is leaving?

Hmmm?

I think it's baseball related. Stay tuned. He is a cool dude 😎

I'm going to miss him. It was fun watching Paul, Todd and Simon together.

NYRA has an empty chair now that the Mig is leaving.....
He could hit baseballs off the roof onto the inner turf course.

Couldn't care less. Like others have said they'll just get another klown to chatter with Schmeckel like they are on the View.

Honestly, any one of us here can do what he did on camera.

Always came up to our box during the "good" days at MP. One of the more diverse members of the TVG group.

Wow! That is terrible news for TVG.

He was the top handicapper on the show, in my opinion.

I really liked his insights.

OK I'll qualify it then. I could. I can handicap races and tell you why I like a horse.

However, there are races I do pass so maybe you are correct.

Sometimes you have to fill air time and be somewhat entertaining. Not an easy job. I wouldn't want to do it.

I remember Paul and Todd had a rather nasty (especially for TVG on air folks) exchange working live at Keeneland this spring. A horse won a race at around 7-5 by about 5 lengths. For whatever reason Paul immediately said that horse would never win another race. Todd retorted with something about what didn't Paul like? It was obviously as dominant a win as one can expect by the favorite or something like that, says Todd. Things got worse (nastier) between the two in this exchange and the next thing you know they are off the air for two hours before returning before the end of the card that day.

I thought to myself when it happened that I can fully understand hanging around with Todd for any length of time could drive anybody crazy. But Todd seems to be untouchable at TVG and Paul dissing Todd on the air was not the best move ever made by "the four time all-star". (Please note Todd still may not be able to stop saying that ad nauseam! )

Anyway, anybody else remember that exchange between the two at Keeneland this spring? Do you think I misremembered above?

Certain people are untouchable but that's what I liked about Paul. There are certain people who call them when they don't like what they say and tell them no more interviews for the network if they do it again. Maybe he'll open up about it if he lands a job in baseball.
