New York Post

Before the controversial former SportsCenter host and ESPN agreed to a divorce and a buyout of the remaining three years on her contract, ESPN tried to talk her into becoming a regular on Highly Questionable and a host on the since-canceled SportsNation, according to the New York Post. Hill's last day at ESPN, which was originally reported to be last Friday, will instead be on Sept. 15.
