“The on-air chemistry Neil and Stan have can’t be manufactured,” Rob King, ESPN senior vice president of “SportsCenter” and news, said in a statement. “It’s as authentic as it gets, and we look forward to having them as part of our team for years to come.”
Everett added: “When Stan said he was staying, then I had no choice. We are joined at the hip. Plus, it’s a great gig so I’m glad Stan decided to stay.”
