Bruce Feldman has been known for living on Twitter as part of his duties as an ESPN college football analyst. Which is why people noticed when his feed went silent after a July 13 post commenting on a scooter-riding injury suffered by Georgia defensive tackle Derrick Lott. It was his fourth tweet of the day, which was a bit on the low side for Feldman. But since that day, the writer has been silent on the account as his role at ESPN has been put very much in the spotlight.

Feldmans Twitter account was once again active Thursday morning  to announce he had left ESPN, a company he had been with since 1995, to join CBS. His Twitter handle underwent a makeover, from @BFeldmanESPN to @BFeldmanCBS.

Im leaving a place, at ESPN, where I had lost all faith in the management there, Feldman said in an interview with the Journal, and Im going to a place where people have really shown me that theyre committed to me and to covering the sport.

ESPN vice president of communications Mike Soltys declined to address Feldmans criticisms.

Normally, a writer moving from one media company to another is not big news. But the Feldman-ESPN saga made headlines in the college football world this summer. The relationship hit a sour note the week before a book, Swing Your Sword, by former Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach, was released. Feldman wrote the book with Leach and says he got full permission from ESPN to work on the project, even clearing portions of the book with the companys lawyers six months before the book went to print. ESPN declined comment on the matter.
