Mike Missanelli has quit his job as a radio presenter on the radio show 97.5 The Fanatic. According to the information provided by The Philadelphia Inquirer, he will join Derrick Gunn and Devan Kaney to host a live Eagles postgame show for JAKIB Media Partners.

“I was prepared to watch the Eagles on TV like everyone else this season. But working with great football players like Seth and D-Gunn was a fantastic chance I couldn’t pass up,” Missanelli told The Inquirer.
