Barely watch ESPN anymore. Sportscenter doesn't really appeal to me. The highlights aren't that great. I watch NFL Network and that's about it.
This. If I want highlights and analysis I watch that particular networks coverage. I DVR Lebatard and the 6 to give them ratings but I don't actually watch anything but their live games. Now, I listen to Bo and Dans podcast at work everyday. Just download the day before and listen during the day. But errrbody not black... Oh well, they'll live.

Same here bro. NFL Network is all I really watch too. I do watch the ESPN show at 6 and will watch the black girl during the day when i am working from home
 
lots of people there work from home, so a phone call is how it had to go down.
why fly you in just to sing a sad 3 minute song to you, then fly you back home~

many of the skills these "names" brought to the air are so readily available by freelancers.
legal opinions, human interest background stories, film room analysis - people who can do this are a dime a dozen.

I got into ESPN via a temp agency; I was a temp for 3 years in about 6 or 7 depts. then Disney bought them and I got a permanent gig, a raise but still a 70 hr. work week (Production Assistant, college sports). I hated being there but loved being there, as crazy as it sounds.

They let go of a lot of people they worked with bruh. And they probably thinking will they end up being next one day.
I get it, but dude is comical. First, he said that he's never called for the firing of a coach, because they are human and have to look out for others. Then, when Jamele admitted that she had called for the firing of a coach, he goes, "Hey, sometimes, that's necessary.". :hmm: I was with him up until that point.
 
I REALLY hope Skipper and them know what they doing here.

I understand saving money but what EXACTLY is the end game?

Cause for the MOST part?

they fired some REAL vets and SOLID news people...REAL news people.

They REALLY couldn't have maybe tried to hire them on a ESPN 24 hour online only streaming news network?

So its not just tweets and bumps on your cellphone..

some REAL journalism and INSTANT analysis ...stories getting VETTED...

REAL follow up interviews and analysis...

not hot takes and shock sh*t?

So are they going straight ENTERTAINMENT now?

Cause then your just TMZ with the NFL and NBA package.
 
they will one day...

and if they hadn't got that new contract a few months back?

they probably would have been.
seems like it was all cost analysis. Probably underpaid and they get decent ratings. Plus, like you said, they got a new contract and probably would have got a healthy cash out. Better to keep them for now. Most of the people they cut were overpaid. Stephen Smith (hate to say it) brings in the revenue by acting a clown. Mike and Mike bring in viewers too and they are paid decent. Folks that did commentary on games or just read off a teleprompter were cut. You can get that done a lot cheaper.

My boy, CL Brown was good, but you can get a lot of people to follow collegiate sports and write a few blogs.

But man Cossack, Stark just for starters were EXPERTS.

How is THAT good for business.

Especially since Stark will DEFINITELY be a lead on the MLB network...

unless ESPN are masterminds and will basically PARTNER with these networks...

and it will shows like Baseball Tonight WITH MLB network correspondents as part of the full time crew?

And the 2 entities share costs?

Yeah a lot of us have done that, they just happen to be on air. Today though they seeing what a lot of us have been through. They feeling what it's like to see a large amount of your coworkers fired and having that fear that they could be next.

"experts" that were overpaid. probably just didn't bring in the numbers to justify their cost. They have to be cheap now in this competitive market.
