I hope Fox will hire McDonough -- it would seem to be a logical fit given the 
possible combination of affiliate-network work which they could give him. 
While I like McDonough and his work quite a bit (when he has had occasion to 
do radio work, such as BC football and a couple of Sox games last year, it's 
been stellar), I don't know if he has that "Fox attitude," the high-level 
intensity which you sense when watching one of their broadcasts. He might 
indeed be a better fit for ABC/ESPN, though I would definitely miss him 
working Red Sox games. (I don't think Fox, even at the local level, would 
want to share on-air talent with another network, no?)
