Mike Tirico To NBC; The Open Championship On His List
/John Ourand reports that the hardest working man in sports TV--Mike Tirico--is leaving ESPN for NBC and it sounds like the Olympics and some golf were part of the draw.
With Dan Hicks doing Olympic swimming, Tirico could be in line to host the Olympic golf coverage and also serve as host of The Open Championship coverage on NBC, an event he made no secret about adoring during his ESPN years. His ESPN contract is up this summer, so it's hard to say when his new affiliation begins.
