Its the fiscal end of year for alot of companies like Disney. Shoot, people were tearing up on a call with my company yesterday.
Gotta get rid of old, expensive folk.

ESPN laid off Jeff Van Gundy EDIT Several layoffs.
- Thread starter Big Tex
- Start date
Buffoon just like Perk, but unfortunately Perk will remain
I think the platform matters.
Some will thrive post-ESPN, like Dan Le Batard.
But some of these people we will basically never hear from again.
And we'll keep hearing from people who have that platform, only because they have it.
We're going to hear a lot more discussion of Kendrick Perkins's stupid ass takes than anything Jalen Rose has to say.
Nah he took personal shots at Skip, that cac blood starts boiling when someone says something about him..lol
ESPN IS LEAVING CABLE TO JUST BE A STREAMING SERVICE
SHAY SHAY IS COMING
Wow, really?. Jalen can talk NBA and NFL though. The Jalen and Jacoby show was straight too
Yep, that's the only thing people watch ESPN for...The Games!!
Alot of people saying that, they doing all this paycuts and laying off people so if they bring in Shannon Sharpe they will have big money to pay him....
According to Forbes, ESPN plans to keep its channels on cable TV and streaming services. When this happens ESPN will also reportedly be offered as a streaming service alongside its cable channel similar to what The Weather Channel and some RSNs are doing right now.
Bomani made it through cut season......; maybe that's why he got those extra gigs outside of ESPN, just in case.
& Jalen's scalp is relieved, it needed a looooong vacation.
"Freedom can unlock unseen possibilities in ways comfort and safety can’t."
I'm betting that mufucka got major stock in ESPN!
Fa real
Van Gundy will be signed be tnt by the end of next week unless the NBA made that call.
Jalen should kill it in the podcast world. He was already successful at that.
Max needs to focus on his love of boxing. Make a YouTube show and monetize it. It's his passion and what he knows best. He could also join showtime or dazn.
The rest are forgettable.

Vangundy, Rose, and Kolber.. wow
It was already reported Kellerman and crew were going to be out, but how the fuck does bitch ass J. Will get to keep his gig? That passive agressive bitch be waxing poetic but really not saying shit that's noteworthy.
They just need to roll with a two man booth with Jackson and Breen and not try to force feed us an ill fitting 3rd person. Watch them try to add a female in there
Hairline aside, Jalen had really honed his skills over the years. I thought he was excellent.
ESPN continues to be a shit show. I really only watch them for some NBA studio coverage, the sports broadcasts themselves, and some of their documentaries. I don't check them for any of their other shit on any sort of regular basis as most of it is garbage.

Wonder what the theory is here-- I don't have a subscription:
It’s bloody Friday at ESPN/Disney, and some surprisingly big names are getting let go from the company. Perhaps the most shocking ouster is Jeff Van Gundy, their top NBA game analyst on a broadcast the company seemed really committed to branding as a triumvirate. It’s been 16 years together for that group of Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and legendary play-by-play man Mike Breen, and it’s finally broken up by, mostly, the economic fallout from strategic missteps at parent company Disney.
If you’re wondering why it had to be the performatively cantankerous Jeff Van Gundy and not his perhaps-less-popular co-analyst Mark Jackson, the answer is, as it so often is in these matters, some behind-the-scenes guy you’ve never heard of. In this specific case, the behind-the-scenes guy loves Mark Jackson, to a degree that other ESPNers find bizarre. We’ll get into that, plus the larger dynamics at play as ESPN restructures itself.

Wall Street Fired Jeff Van Gundy
But his boss still made the call

her and Sage Steele will not be going anywhere.
Didn’t want it, was curious to see who was to be executed in the Disney Red Wedding.
Suzy was a good commentator, so I’m surprised at this. Ah well…
It's not surprising at all. She's old. Same thing happened to Pam Oliver at Fox. They're looking for younger women that men find attractive.
This is basically saying hey why not the black guy. Fuck Ethan Strauss whoever he may beWonder what the theory is here-- I don't have a subscription:

LOL, "whoever he may be"
That is not what that it is saying. It seems very plausible that personal relationships play a factor behind who is fired vs who is retained.
got dam espn. the safest bet right now is not to be making a ton of money and not plenty of years. then this disney plus is just sinking ships. that's what should be getting the boot. i'm gonna miss everyone they letting go. jalen, keyshawn, max, suzy, mcshay, van gundy.....looking like vince......sheesh. of course they'll just replace with cheaper personalities. i like perk. but jaywill and reddick don't have any charisma to me. kiper shoulda been retired . i love malika but her sister is a snooze fest. wish all those let go the very best
