Ron Burgundy knocked off SportsCenter in wake of Winston case press conference

Best laid plans right….?

Will Ferrell’s appearance as Ron Burgundy on SportsCenter has been cancelled. He had been slated for the 6 p.m. show, along with Anchorman 2 co-star David Koechner as Champ Kind.

With the Florida States Attorney holding a press conference related to the Jameis Winston case today, ESPN decided this wasn’t a good night to be having fun with Burgundy on SC.

In a statement released via Twitter, ESPN’s David Scott said:

“Ron Burgundy’s scheduled Thurs. appearance on @SportsCenter has been cancelled in light of the potential implications of any news from the State Attorney’s press conference in Fla. As of this time, there is no reschedule date for Ron Burgundy.”

Ferrell, who has been everywhere with the character, will do a two-hour stint on Dan Patrick’s radio show today from 10 a.m.-noon. The show also can be seen on NBC SN.
