I don't listen to McCown anymore, but he's definitely an icon. I'm sure it's a voluntary layoff if anything, so I'm curious if he'll spill the beans as he may be contractually obligated to keep a tight lid. I did find he was well thought out despite being brash. Now you have Tim and Sid on the same network doing the banter thing, with Sid trying the same shtick, but less naturally, more forced, and more visible. So McCown has basically lost his novelty and doesn't have a sidekick. It's too bad when icons just disappear. I'm sure he'll go the podcast route.
