Today, things got a little crazy. First, ESPN 92.9 posted this on Facebook,
Statement from Dan Barron, V.P. Market Manager Entercom Memphis regarding Chris Vernon’s exit:
“We had hoped that Chris Vernon would stay with 92.9 ESPN. We made a number of offers for multi-year contracts but he did not accept them and broke off negotiations. Chris is very talented and we wish him the very best.”
He even adds in a #FreeVerno at the end! He had to mean it!
Chris was apparently not pleased with this development and released a Twitter firestorm shortly after (that gets continually more awesome by tweet).
