I'm going to have to check the deals Comcast have, I don't even watch a lot of channels anymore. Thanks bruh!
I hope those who got laid off the best of luck...
and also to be REAL careful what they post on social media about it.
This is a good lesson for the young ones too.
DO NOT throw a tantrum on the way out especially on Twitter Facebook etc.
You just NEVER know.

Damn really? Some of the people I have read about getting fired I have never of. Most of the main people are still there. People want SAS gone lol, not going to happen as long as First Take is getting good ratings. Personally he doesn't bother me, when he's talking nonsense I just watch Shannon Sharpe.
The worst Wednesday in the history of ESPN began early in the morning East Coast time when staffers were informed via telephone by management that they were losing their jobs. The management read prepared statements. There were HR people on speakerphones listening in.
“Cold as ice,” said one ESPN-er who lost her job.

“F---in horrible,” said another longtime ESPN staffer.
SI reported on Wednesday morning that the number of ESPN on-air and online staffers losing jobs was around 100, though it was impossible to confirm an exact number. Over the course of the day on Wednesday, a number of staffers announced via social media that they had been let go.
Those included the noted NFL information broker Ed Werder; longtime columnist Johnette Howard; espnW staffer Jane McManus; college football and ESPN Radio analyst Danny Kannel; NHL reporters Scott Burnside, Pierre LeBrun and Joe McDonald and a mass of college sports reporters including C.L. Brown, Eamonn Brennan, Jeremy Crabtree, Brett McMurphy, Max Olson, Dana O’Neil, Jesse Temple, Derek Tyson, Austin Ward, Ted Miller and Brian Bennett; MLB reporter Doug Padilla, ESPN Dallas Columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor, soccer reporter Mike Goodman and ESPNU anchor Brendan Fitzgerald. NFL analyst Trent Dilfer, SportsCenter anchor Jay Crawford and longtime MLB reporter Jayson Stark also tweeted they were being let go.
ESPN issued two statements early on Wednesday, including one from President John Skipper and a second from his deputies.
“A necessary component of managing change involves constantly evaluating how we best utilize all of our resources, and that sometimes involves difficult decisions,” Skipper said, in a statement. “Our content strategy—primarily illustrated in recent months by melding distinct, personality-driven SportsCenter TV editions and digital-only efforts with our biggest sub-brand—still needs to go further, faster…and as always, must be efficient and nimble. Dynamic change demands an increased focus on versatility and value, and as a result, we have been engaged in the challenging process of determining the talent—anchors, analysts, reporters, writers and those who handle play-by-play—necessary to meet those demands. We will implement changes in our talent lineup this week. A limited number of other positions will also be affected and a handful of new jobs will be posted to fill various needs.”
“Horrible.”

Those words, obviously, will be of no solace to those who lost their jobs. Throughout the internet, there was intense reaction to the news—ESPN has been trending on Twitter all day—
including many celebrating that staffers were losing jobs at a company they found too left-leaning.
