So... McCord's biggest grievance is that he wasn't afforded an opportunity to bid farewell on-the-air during a live telecast. CBS offered him the opportunity to work two more tournaments to tick that box, and he said no thanks.
He's 71, worked for the network for 33 years.
Kostis is 72, worked for the network for 27 years.
Neither has a legit complaint about the number of years they were afforded to enjoy their ride on the gravy train. In fact, I'd consider them pretty dang lucky to enjoy it for as long as they did.
