<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald had a new article online featuring quotes from Todd Grisham. In it, Grisham discusses leaving WWE for ESPN. Below is an excerpt:
"Jonathan Coachman is my best friend. Our lives and careers are like mirror images of each other. I'm just a few years behind. He was a local sports anchor, got hired by WWE, started out hosting shows and then moved to announcing.
"Then he did outside sports work while still doing WWE, got married, had a kid and left for ESPN. It's my story exactly. We talk about it all the time. The only difference is that I am more attractive than him and can beat him at golf.
"I think Coach working at ESPN and doing so well there has certainly paved the way for me. Like it or not, there are some places out there that look down at WWE and consider anyone that works there as a bit of a joke. It is hard to break the stereotype. Things aren't as bad as they were 10 years ago, but I firmly believe if Coach had gone to ESPN and tanked, I would have never even got an audition, much less been offered a job. So to Coach I say, 'Thank you for not sucking at your job.'"
