Comcast might also simply wanted out of his obsence $25 million/year salary.
You got it....... Mat in essence killed the golden egg laying goose.
That is my thought on a lot of these recent revelations.
Management is saddled with a contract that they are looking for a loophole to exploit.
It is no different than when the Yankees wanted to get out of A_Rods deal. He no longer was putting up the numbers because he wasn’t taking juicing. Matt wasn’t getting the ratings he once did. Now they can replace him with someone at a whole lot less pay.
