I don’t see how it’s about ego. At least not automatically. That could be one of the factors. It could also be that he enjoys his work and he’s the best person for the job.
There are no shortage of sports TV personality and commentators who are well into their 50s/60s/70s. And as long as they’re still good at what they do why can’t they keep doing it?
Was Peter Maher an egotistical maniac or did he just really like calling flames games? I think he stepped outside at the right time, maybe even a few years too late.
I don’t particularly like Ron. But it’s not like he’s no longer mentally or physical capable of doing the job. And it’s quite likely Rogers sees him as the most qualified person for the job.
