Sports Biz: ESPN Highly Quarantined w/ Dan Le Batard & Friends UPDATE: CANCELLED! Now DEBATABLE! Now DONE!

what the fuck is up with espn
thanks for the links
but damn have they gone full right wing or some shit?
 
Didn't read the entire thread, but I usually enjoyed Dan's show when it aired on the local ESPN affiliate in the afternoon here in Kentucky. When he went off the air, the station replaced it with Mike Greenberg which was informative but boring. Then they went to Bart and Hahn which is decent but hardly either of the duo are on at the same time it seems like so it's always a guest host. Then they went to that asshole Jim Rome for an hour. I miss Lebatard

ESPN-on-ESPN Crime: Colleagues Take Anonymous Shots at Adam Schefter



The profile takes you inside the world of ESPN's top NFL newsbreaker and gets his take on several recent misfires, including controversial tweets about Dalvin Cook and Deshaun Watson and sending a story about then Washington president Bruce Allen to Allen for changes and referring to him as "Mr. Editor."
The piece gives off the vibe that it’s supposed to help Schefter win back some of the people he may have lost during recent controversies. He talks about all the standard stuff: learning his lessons, learning to slow down, learning to lean on editors

The juiciest part of the feature story, though, is that some of Schefter's colleagues spoke to the Post anonymously about him.
”He is your preeminent journalist for the preeminent sport in America,” said one on-air ESPN personality. “I would hope that as a network you’re embarrassed by that, but I’m blown away that ESPN doesn’t seem to care.”
Also via the Post: “The Cook incident was the most serious, and multiple people who work at ESPN, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters, said they worried that it and the Watson reporting reflected a failure to understand the sensitivity of domestic violence allegations.”
Schefter, however, didn't offer a direct response to the criticism from colleagues, saying, “Are they going to go on the record?”
I have no way of knowing whether ESPN cares about getting embarrassed by Schefter, as the off-the-record ESPN personality claimed. But I do know this: Schefter reportedly makes $9 million a year; he breaks every big NFL story there is and is as valuable an asset as ESPN has on its payroll. It’s not shocking that ESPN and Schefter would just move forward, business as usual, no matter what controversies pop up now and then.
