No face to face, no letters of resignation, just a couple of emails on Friday from John Ramsey and Mike Rutherford to Drew Deener that they were resigning from their sports radio talk show on ESPN 680.
Outta here. Gone. Effective immediately.
No advance notices, no apologies to the listeners, nothing that would be considered anywhere close to a graceful exit. They were done.
So abruptly that many University of Louisville fans thought it was an April Fool’s joke, occurring on the eve of April 1. Others speculating that Ramsey and Rutherford had been enticed to another radio station and were unable to discuss their plans because of contractual obligations.
