One of the people he named was Michael Eisner, and one can speculate that someone high up at Disney was sufficient pissed that they told ESPN to dump him.

His apology, which inludes the offending (and offensive) paragraph, is found here.

I am satisfied by his apology, but I am not a Jewish movie executive who pays his salary. I will miss TMQ, one of the few good things about Tuesdays. Perhaps we can convince him to post his thoughts on lawtalkers.
