According to Pope’s Instagram as of this morning, he left a somewhat cryptic message about his departure from GFW thanking them for his opportunity as well as stating “Thank You & Farewell.”
The post reads:
“The clock is ticking, never standing still, yet memories will come, in floods they will. This was no surprise as things began to click, when negotiations stalled because of arithmetics. In arriving hello is easy to say, in departing it’s different as some will sway. But no not me as I look towards the sky, for there’s a reason I’ve always walked with my head held high. Although the past will come trickling around and through, the future is bright with much things for me to do. So thanks to my friends and staff who showed me goodwill, because those memories are the only moments that makes the clock stand still.” ~PHS

Mike Bianchi is the station’s AM show host and also a sports columnist for the Orlando Sentinel; he was scheduled to opposed Kravitz, but he had pull out at the last minute – which led Kravitz to brag on-air that Bianchi clearly was scared of Kravitz’ managerial mind. Then The Shot Doctor stepped in and quickly threw down the gauntlet, challenging Kravitz.
