Todd McShay taking a leave of absence

Todd tweeted this out a little while ago, taking a break for his health and family.
If it is alcoholism, I wish him well. After all, that is a disease just like any other.

he clearly has something going on. he looks absolutely awful

Looked bloated and disinterested the other day.

He definitely looks like something is wrong. Good luck, Todd.
Wasn't there a pretty signifiant denial or backlash against everyone that said he looked like shite a few months ago, by either the network or McShay himself?

Good. He sounded terrible doing those live shots. Stuttering and looking off into distance when talking. Something was clearly wrong
Hopefully whatever it is, he comes back 100%

I am going to take some time away to focus on my health and my family. Thank you ESPN for being so supportive and for all the well wishes - I can’t wait to be back on the sidelines soon.

He did prior to the incident that happened to him on the sidelines last season, but he sounded just as bad or worse on Saturday.

Yes, was hospitalized last year. If he were a serious long hauler, seems like something you would be open about, but who knows. Clearly something seriously wrong.

I noticed this during draft stuff this past March/April, that his face looked noticeably puffy. Maybe it isn't alcoholism, we obviously don't know.

I remember a couple threads last season asking if he was drunk on air
Posted on 9/7/21 at 1:21 pm to Cole Beer
I remember watching the episode he had last year and thought it was booze and benzos. Either way I hope he can get healthy. Have always liked him.

He looked awful and was slurring/misspeaking on his sideline interviews this past weekend.

I wonder what kind of punishment the producer gets for letting Todd go on the air like that? Surely someone noticed something in a production meeting.

A guy I know has a bad case of Covid and he got pretty puffy for a while. Hospitalized for over a week, lots of physical therapy afterwards to basically learn to walk again. This was a guy that was in great health, on the skinny side, and when I first saw him in person after he came back from it I almost didn’t recognize him. It has taken several months for him to look normal again

Cue Norm Macdonald.
"My friend told me he has a disease...that he was an alcoholic. I said Richie, sure you have a disease but I think you got the best one. It's the only disease that lets you drink booze all the time."

That’s one of my favorite South Park episodes every. Randy when to see the fountain of Mary and was pushing all the cancer patients assured because his alcoholism was just as real.
