Dan Le Batard Makes Shocking Announcement, Future Even More Unclear Dec 30, 2020, 8:34 AM EST Dan Le Batard finds himself in a bit of a pickle right now.

With finding the most personally beneficial angle for himself at the expense of the larger group? Yikes. Now, just days before his final show on the network's airwaves, Le Batard did what he always does — make it about race — with a stunning admission that will rock the industry to its core and send ripple effects from Bristol to suburban Boston to wherever Alec Baldwin's wife's parents used to vacation when they were younger.
