Mike has a lot more to lose than just a radio gig. His reputation. The handshakes (jobs), cigars, silk suits, the star treatment, center of attention, free cars, free meals, drinks,etc.
He needs this stuff for his ego. What will he do when he has to buy his own car or pay for his own steak. I know he can afford it but he will be insulted and embarrassed.
Undeniably screwed! Thats why he wants to work ASAP. He wants this buyout so he can go right to work and keep the gravy train of cash flow coming. I would not be surprised if he already has another job lined up but he needs the buy out so he can work it.
People forget you real quick when your gone from the public eye. Will Fox have an out-of-work sports radio reject on their Bears post game? Will some Mortgage company pay a loud mouth unemployed high school dropout to do their ads?
That cash cow is dying fast and he knows it.
