The Twitter crowd will have to find someone else to make fun of on NFL Sundays, because it won't have Mike Carey to skewer anymore.
Bob Raismann of the New York Daily News reported on Saturday that CBS would not be brining back Carey, its in-studio rules analyst, for the 2016 season after two less-than-stellar years. The Big Lead has a network spokesperson confirming the news, saying CBS and Carey have "mutually agreed to part ways."
CBS hired Carey in 2014, after he retired from a 23-year career as an NFL official, to give it a rules analyst to compete with Fox Sports, which had hired former official and NFL vice president Mike Pereira in 2010.
