RG3 and Sam Ponder have been fired by ESPN due to cost cutting measures.

[Harry B]

With him being fired, I’d imagine that ESPN will try and fight it.

That’s why I’m wondering what he did that was deemed bad enough to get fired.

There are a lot of other costs associated with keeping him there, likely they’d just write it off. Office, transport, assistant, insurance, shyt for family, bonuses and other perks and also having a disgruntled employee might not be worth it

 

[Womb Raider]

They will regret letting Robert go

ESPN YOU WILL BURN

 

[Max Power]

Good. Corny motherfukker.

 

[King Poetic]

ESPN is blockbuster

They just don’t know how to adjust the right way to change and their programming across the board is terrible as fukk

College Football season is their best programming

They kind of abandoned baseball and hockey personalities.. their NBA countdown and nba daily crew is bad

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

He was a good commentator
This is dumb.

So basically cut a guy with personality for another guy that might have personality. Kelce might end up in the same situation in a couple years. We will see though. Ponder. I don’t know much about her but I’ve seen her a few times. Kelce won’t be able to down beers with his shirt off on tv that much so we will see Whzt he brings.. He got hired for that moment and for being Travis Kelce’s brother and Taylor Swift’s possible bro in law

Exactly,doing a podcast and being on national television are two different things. Probably shouldve went the Macafee route. As annoying as he is,he gets to bring his own energy to the show. Rather than having to try to fit in with the other commentators.


But really I see they are finally doing what i said they should. You see people like Romo getting paid 20 mil a year. When you could literally just pay a bunch of popular podcasters or athletes 18 mil total or less to announce ALL your games


Same thing about to happen with this sector. Ill just pay podcsters to make appearances rather than pay people 1 million year. Heres 5K to come debate on First Take for a week

ESPN eventually gonna be down to like 10 people doing all the shows. shyt that’s kind of what it feels like now. Lord if they put Greeny corny ass on there. He didn’t fit at all with the NBA coverage.

Dude is complete trash

It’s jets talk and then always “ I want to get so and so on here to talk about so and so”

Dude is useless

 

[MrRDU]

RG3 was corny but he was a great commentator

 

[Sauce Dab]

RG3 and Ponder both probably going to fox if I had to guess. RG3 gone do sports and Ponder might get into far right politics. She’s a big MAGA lady. Somehow her Twitter popped up on my for you page and it’s just sports and MAGA stuff all on her TL and I was like

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Damm they lifted that man up to the sky like he was Jesus, letting him know they were gonna put him on the cross right there.
