A national gig wouldn't surprise me, but I think it won't be espn. Baker has the smarts, the knowledge, the drive, but needs to add a bit of levity and a smile to his work. Espn seems to value this.
Sports journalism is entertainment. A lot of the national guys have a certain humor about them that is entertaining. I don't get a similar sense of fun or amusement from Baker. Which certainly doesn't mean he won't be successful on a national level. But the lack of it, I don't think it helps him.
