Sad day.

Another classic WGN employee is retirin'.

His last day will be today.

SO tune in TONIGHT on WGN 9pm news for his final-ass sports segment.

And then GN News right after for more tributes. Might have Rich King on again.

King retired. Jim Ramsey retired and died. And who was the chick that died recently. Allison payne. We still have Skilling at least. Hopefully Bob Jordan is still around. And Rick Rosenthal or some shit.

These are classic WGN employees that will never be duplicated.

why would you retire from a six figure income for 5 minutes of work each day?

The hardest thing he did was go to spring training and report from poolside

Hanging around with over paid, self indulged athletes isn't everything that it's cracked up to be.

Has Dan Roan ever said or done anything remotely memorable during his 30-year career at WGN?

great sendoff.

He had his whole family there on GN News.

Shed a tear as he said goodnight.

He is still at the top of his game.

What is his "game"? Being generic, nondescript and utterly forgettable?

He also mentioned on Wed. that after about a week they will announce a new-ass replacement. He made it sound as if it's a known name.
