Not surprising given the way he looked and sounded on Saturday. I am not sure what exactly is going on I just heard them discussing on Nashville sports radio.

From his Twitter:

I am going to take some time away to focus on my health and my family. Thank you ESPN for being so supportive and for all the well wishes - I can’t wait to be back on the sidelines soon.

He sounded and acted like he was drunk or on Xanax.

He looked like 1977 Elvis the last few times he has been on. Fat and bloated. Wonder if he is addicted to pills?

I was at the game and only watched the conedensed game online afterwards, so I didn't see any of this.

Wow - that was almost scary.

His speech pattern suggests benzos.

I’ve never known what is going on with him. He was this way last season as well. Alcoholism is a big deal for a large number of sports personalities (Father and son Griese have been drunk about half of their games) and I just assumed this was another case of that.

Have you not seen him the last 2 seasons?

He either has a massive drinking problem or a degenerative brain disease.

His face is losing its form, he’s slurring words. Something is very wrong. I doubt a side piece is causing it.

That's a pill popping problem.

whoever the producer or director was in the truck should have seen this when they did their pre game round table and not allowed him on the field

Looks to me like alcoholism and he was going through withdrawals. His hands were shaking holding the mic

Yeah, somebody should have intervened. How can
you not notice the man was in no shape to
go on camera. Likely if someone did ask him,
the response was, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Mcshay was pulled from a game last year after
a similar sideline performance---but returned the
next weekend.
