Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

[H. Selassie]

I agree. I cringe watching 45 year old grown men talk abuot high school football recruiting for hours on end during the offseason

Like ya'll don't have anything else to talk about?

exactly. cut the 10 hours of sportscenter a day and do a damn mini 30 for 30 every fukking week. And if its not a live MAJOR sporting event or original programming, get rid of it.

Dont wanna see SAS yelling all morning and don't wanna see those PTI fukkers debating bullshyt at 5:30. Fans are more connected to athletes thru social media and the on air personalties are annoying as fukk.

When Lavar Ball is a higher draw than your whole on air roster, the ship is going down fast. ESPN News is pointless and so is ESPN2 if theres no live game on. If they are gonna bother to hire athletes to be on air, at least get ones who can convince current players to do some exclusive interviews or something.

Having Lil Wayne and Rae Sremmurd on air is corny as fukk and pandering. Get these lame music artists off the damn network if they arent singing and rapping.

Y'all goin in ESPN right now. Hard to argue with these facts though.

as long as they keep bomani idc.

i don't even care about his tv show, but his radio show is basically the only thing that keeps me connected to a lot of sports news that isn't related to the nba.

Bo would be a great fit on FS1 though... The freedom he would have on that network...

As long as my nikka Amin comes up

he seems pretty free on ESPN radio. idk about the tv show.

i mean he cant say certain shyt that i doubt fox would ever let him say on the radio either, but if you ever listen to his other podcast you can get a vibe of what he would say if he actually had free reign like when he was on the score.

used to walk to class every morning and then home from school listening to the morning jones. still the greatest sports radio i've ever heard.

Nah, that programming essentially costs them next to nothing. Y'all forget they got 24 hours to fill over several channels and radio, every day.

their problem is that they got too many channels and radio shows. shyt they shouldn't even be a 24 hour show. they dont say shyt for 18 of those 24 hours and thats being generous

No I didn't forget. That's exactly why it sucks. There just isn't that much news in 1 day.

So when ESPN getting the flattop?

they been had it. Ever since we lost Stu Scott.

 

[The War Report]

I blame ESPN for being one of the reasons why people cut the cord. Charging cable providers an arm and leg to carry them, which the cost is then passed along to the consumers. All this move does is help out their competition.

 

[Ill-Mind]

Please be c00nin A

 

[The War Report]

Disney is gonna be running ESPN like them cheap ass baseball franchises like The Marlins.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Viacom and their channels are 100000X worse than the Disney Owned Channels.

It's not even close. Viacom ALWAYS pulling their channels everytime their contract is up because of the rediculous prices they want. They do that shyt to everybody and it's fukkin disgusting

Gotta feeling my baby Cassidy H. Is gone

I thought she'd take Sage Steele's spot but going with Beadle might mean she's gone unless they still have her doing sideline reporting or filling in when Beadle is on vacay.

He's still there. I saw him on First Take last week or the week before when I was getting haircut. I don't even know why he's even there. Just a few years ago he was a conservative talking head on CNN and the the blaze but now he's discussing sports?!

SAS requests him on First Take. He needs to go since his sports knowledge is limited and I'm sure most people find him annoying.
