On February 10, Dov Kleiman, a Sports Journalist, shared on his X account, "Just In: Dan Orlovsky hints at moving on from ESPN while signing off from his final appearance on First Take this NFL season: "I'm taking a break, won't be on TV for a long time... never know what the future holds... just want to say thank you. Appreciate you guys so much." Thank you and best of luck Dan ❤️👏"
Cut to March 3, a fan spotted Dan Orlovsky on SportsCenter and tagged Dan Orlovsky on X with this response, "I thought you were gonna be off tv for awhile brother @danorlovsky7 Good seeing you on @SportsCenter this morning"
To everyone's surprise, Dan Orlovsky replied to this X user, and he wrote, "I was". X user replied to it again, "The way it sounded, I thought you were not going to be back on tv until June…. I'm so happy your back tho bro"

Looks like this break was for Hawaii! For family. For taking time away from TV! Check this conversation out.


"How was Hawaii?" - asked Molly Qerum, Host of FIRST TAKE on ESPN.
"Hawaii was amazing. I would go back in an absolute…" Stephen A. Smith interrupted Dan Orlovsky and said, "Stop. Stop. Stop."
"How did you get there?" - asked Stephen A. Smith.
"We flew commercial. 30 row 37."
"You flew your wife coach from the East Coast to Hawaii which is about 10 hours in coach." astonishingly replied Stephen A. Smith and dismissed with his hand and left the FIRST TAKE show at that very moment!
"Yes, my wife, my kids, my mother-in-law - 12 hours - and on the way home non-stop. Red-eye through the night." innocently expressed Don Orlovsky.
"He's about saving money. I like it!" - Shannon Sharpe fistbumps Dan Orlovsky.


"I see a lot of hate towards Stephen A on this but I agree with him. He knows what Dan makes. He also knows the difference in experience flying first. He didn't say YOU had to do that. We all got friends that'll choke a penny! That's what this was about."
"Society needs less Stephen A Smith."
"nothing resonates with a sports show television audience like disgust over not flying first class to hawaii."
"He should have at least done business class lol"
"If I had more money I would definitely fly first class to Hawaii! But he probably saved like $30k lol"
"This is the same dude that talks about racism and oppression 24/7"
"I agree with Stephen A. I don't have the money like them but I'm deffff not flying coach now adays lol"
"Elitism attitude by Smith. Good for @danorlovsky7 for being normal even if he has money."
"Then you see SAS talking about athletes going broke" (SAS- Stephen A. Smith)
"The disconnect between these tv personalities and average Americans couldn't be any larger"
"I'm so confused on why this is even a topic of discussion. People are hating on this man for being conservative with his $$$, and that's an issue? You all have no lives."
"That man probably makes a couple million a year on ESPN and has made millions playing QB...a direct 12 hour flight in coach for the mother in law and the kids is nasty work LOL!! My knees hurt thinking about it."
