Last week, ESPN announced that
Eric Wynalda was being replaced by
John Harkes on its U.S. men's soccer coverage, beginning with Wednesday night's U.S.-Mexico telecast. The network said Wynalda would be reassigned to do studio work -- most likely doing UEFA Championships League games, which are announced from a studio feed at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn.
This week, Wynalda lost that gig as well apparently.
We emailed the Westlake High grad and former U.S. national team star this week to see if he could respond to what was going on at ESPN.
"Nope" he wrote back on his BlackBerry.
Wednesday, Wynalda told the San Diego Union Tribune that he negotiated a buyout for the remaining half of his five-year deal with the network and "I can't comment further at this time, but I'm definitely contemplating my options about what I'll do next.”
