Bristol, Connecticut, the home of ESPN.
The New York Post quoted Cowherd as saying:
"[Keith] Olbermann didn't want to live there. [Bill] Simmons didn't want to live there. You didn't want to live there. I didn't want to live there," Cowherd said. "The seven bosses that worked for us at FOX didn't want to live there. It has become a huge unspoken disadvantage. ... Anybody we want, we get. Why? They don't want to live there."

The difference now - if you don't like Bristol, there are lots of other opportunities.
