Miller Turns Down ESPN Radio Offer

Chooses to return to Giants full time

(insidebayarea.com )  Jon Miller officially severed all ties with ESPN this week, declaring himself ready to broadcast the Giants for the full 162-game season for the first time since he joined the club in 1997.

ESPN announced last week that Miller and partner Joe Morgan would not be retained on the network's Sunday Night Baseball telecasts, but left the door open for Miller to become the play-by-play man on ESPN Sunday night radio broadcasts.

After considering ESPN's radio offer the past few days, Miller formally declined it Monday afternoon.

"I'm going to just do the Giants games, that's it,'' Miller said from his home in Moss Beach. "I'm excited about just being to focus on one thing.''

Miller said he held no bitterness toward ESPN regarding the end of his 21-year run on Sunday Night Baseball, and was flattered that they wanted him to continue to do radio.
