Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: Grumpier Than Uncle Joe on April 26, 2017, 01:04:25 PM I forgot Dilfer was on ESPN. I thought he was on the NFL Network. But who cares about him?
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: dead0man on April 26, 2017, 01:17:32 PM ESPN, like many cable channels and cable companies are losing buckets of money. This is because they were all dickheads for decades and now that the consumer has good alternatives, we're leaving in droves. efff 'em, efff 'em all.

Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: Illiniwek on April 26, 2017, 01:53:10 PM But why didn't they fire Darren Rovell?
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: MasterJedi on April 26, 2017, 02:49:42 PM When they cover the coasts, especially the east and then ignore most of the rest of the country, even when they are having amazing seasons/post seasons, people are going to desert.
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: 100% pro-life no matter what on April 26, 2017, 03:05:53 PM Some more significant names:
Eamonn Brennan (I will miss "Bubble Watch") Roger Cossack Len Elmore Brett McMurphy David Ching Max Olson Jay Crawford Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: Lambsbread on April 26, 2017, 03:30:48 PM They fired Pierre LeBrun too. At least one good thing to come out of this.

Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: 7,052,770 on April 26, 2017, 10:36:15 PM Cord-cutting is a prisoner's dilemma for everyone. The more people do it, the fewer and more expensive channels we're going to have. Enjoy the Golden Age of TV while it lasts.

Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: 100% pro-life no matter what on April 27, 2017, 04:56:42 PM Andy Katz too now. And, Stephen A. Smith is still there. Stick to sports, ESPN- not politics!
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: Donerail on April 27, 2017, 05:24:09 PM Andy Katz too now. And, Stephen A. Smith is still there. Stick to sports, ESPN- not politics! The conservative fantasy that millions of people are turning off ESPN because they occasionally mention Colin Kaepernick or whatever is ludicrous. ESPN is suffering because of cord-cutting, nothing else. Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: RI on April 27, 2017, 05:55:49 PM Andy Katz too now. And, Stephen A. Smith is still there.

Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: dead0man on October 29, 2017, 02:45:31 PM 40 to 60 more (http://ijr.com/the-declaration/2017/10/1007404-espn-ropes-massive-layoffs-expected-early-next-month/)
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: OSR stands with Israel on October 29, 2017, 02:49:23 PM Hopefully Stephen A Smith doesnt get laid off .
Title: Re: Layoffs at ESPN Post by: Illiniwek on October 29, 2017, 03:39:07 PM 40 to 60 more (http://ijr.com/the-declaration/2017/10/1007404-espn-ropes-massive-layoffs-expected-early-next-month/) Perhaps this played a small factor in Barstool Van Talk being cancelled. I'm sure the same parties would continue to be outraged if very well respected talent was let go while Big Cat and PFT continued to have a platform. No matter what though, we are seeing the beginning of the end of ESPN as we knew it. |
