My take, Dan & Marc got a severence package that is paid out over a period of time contingent on their silence on the matter. To say it another way, they talk, the checks stop. As to 60% G, my unfounded take is the NFL knew his personal Healthcare situation and leveraged it to prevent the heroes from simply going independent. Non-compete clauses are basically invalid in California, so the only way to ensure the show doesn’t simply get resurrected, is to keep Gregg. As to the why this all happened, mirth, I believe that as the popularity grew, what the podcasts bozos said hit the SLF's and owners' ears more and more. ATN's profit, in the eyes of the owners, was less than a rounding error, however, the mirth, the mirth we know and love, became too much for them to bear.
Gregg made some reference to a health scare that’s in way better shape now on his first NFL Daily pod but I don’t know what that’s all about. He’s also been in management there and I think has continued to write more than the other guys. Weird for him to stay while the other guys got canned though.
Nothing lasts forever, I know. But this one should have had a few more years in it. The NFL blew it, and they don’t care that they blew it. They mint money and they’re in the business of not giving a shit about staff (almost all businesses are). So. Alas. Perhaps other, very good content will eventually come from the heroes in other places.

Thanks for sharnig. Well-written. I can't believe ATN is gone.
