George O'Leary's favorite "investigative reporter," WKMG's Mike Holfeld, retired last week. Under the station's mantra of "Getting Results," Holfeld aimed to get GOL's contract during the 2015 winless season, even crashing a press conference one time to put GOL on the spot.

Facebook sleuthing would uncover Mike Holfeld was a huge usf fan.



Longtime WKMG meteorologist Tom Sorrells has also retired, his last broadcast was earlier tonight. He did an interview earlier on Friday with Marc Daniels on The Beat of Sports.



Lastly, WDBO news director and radio host Joe Kelley was laid off from Cox Media Group. In a Reddit AMA, he was quite candid by saying he knew his gig would be up at some point due to Cox selling out to private equity five years ago. They wanted to rid his $200K salary and replace him with somebody who would do the job for $45K.
