ESPN's decline continues: Zach Lowe is laid off
- Thread starter 2legit
- Start date
Another talent that they overpaid years ago as they didn't want them to go elsewhere and are now using as a reason to let go. A major shocker though even more than RGIII being let go. In hindsight, both he and Jalen should have dipped out to The Ringer when they had the chance to do so.
How much clout does Simmons still have at Spotify and The Ringer with even he being a FA next year?

u would think with woj jumping ship, they could EASILY still afford to pay him. he's one of the best in the business when it comes to non-sensational NBA coverage.

bill simmons could easily get him on at the ringer, but I highly doubt they are gonna pay him that ESPN money.

Non sensational NBA coverage to ESPN = what, you tryna kick knowledge? fukk outta here
This decision is more than likely coming from the mouse and not ESPN themselves and they are doing their own set of layoffs right as we speak.

I know they'd much rather have buffoons like shannon sharpe,
, and pat macafee making all the money, but I see little appeal in any of their content personally.
One of the few good basketball people they had left. Im not a huge podcast guy but I enjoyed his.

no wonder he was off for over a month. Normally even during the dead period he'll put something out once a week.
The Ringer's probably gonna try to rescue him to replace KOC and still host The Lowe Post. Pretty much down to The Hoop Collective and a couple of other basketball centered pods for me.

I thought dude was a young and upcoming writer a few years ago?? Or maybe I have him confused with someone else. But he looks very middle-aged now.

I thought he was way younger I guess because of the graphic he’s always used for his profile pic and shows
Crazy dude is excellent at his job

They've made it clear over the years that this is their focus and if you want some serious basketball analysis (and not just X's and O's either), it's an abundance of podcasts and information available outside of them. They just want their cartoon characters to go viral on digital platforms.
