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

I didn't even realizie they lost Josina Anderson too..She was one of their best NFL reporters

i wouldn't blame that on them, one, outside of bo, katie is probably the main voice on there. two, it really wasn't going to thrive, nor be an ESPN priority, without Dan. i think it only hung around as long as it did because there was nothing else to put in its place.

i hope they all join the lark/LBS (although the main show is crowded as-is unless they get a formal rotation going). but there doesn't seem like much out there for them re: sports networks, and everyone has a podcast, including (ex-)athletes themselves, so i'm not sure that would pay the bills given the saturation.

Pablo will stay as TK is getting ready to retire and will be his replacement. Bo can go Meadowlark and team up with the other former ESPN talent that Skipper thought highly of and gave opportunities to.

She wasn’t going to supplant Schefty at the top spot and she was actually beating him to the punch with a lot of stories and supporting, so ESPN picked him over her. Even now she’s still breaking news and stories before the majority of other reporters out here who are under those network umbrellas.

Her sources were actually legit though seeing as they actually came from the players themselves.

Majority of these sports show are shytty. I hope they cancel 90% of them

sports media business outlets made a bunch of noise about Nolan signing there from Fox Sports and she didn't contribute much at all.

 

[thenatural]

She's probably going to do some contributions for Skipper's media network and find somewhere else for another source of income.

ESPN was more than kind to her keeping her around till now, Mina Kimes took her spot and did what she was supposed to do.

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

forgot katie nolan even existed. i remember the hype and attention she got when she signed with ESPN like she was the christopher nolan of sports content

Its probably you instead of the two major companies

as @puggle pointed out Mina Kimes is thriving in the lane that Nolan was supposed to, she was there for 4 years and couldn't make shyt shake she's just not that talented.

Lol Katie Nolan has NEVER had a successful program.
Not on youtube, not on fox, not on espn.
Espn paid her millions of dollars after Fox CANCELLED her 2am show because it was a loser.
Let that white privilege sink in. lol.

She is a fukking joke and a testament to white women/people getting multiple unearned opportunities over those who produce.

Some white liberals will pick her whiny repeated failure ass up and give her another million dollar contract and I guarantee she will fukking fail again.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Should have went to The Ringer from the beginning, but I can't blame her for not turning down the milli that ESPN was offering. ESPN threw the bag at her without knowing how to fully utilize her all because they were enamored by her winning that Emmy for Garbage Time.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

She's probably going to do some contributions for Skipper's media network and find somewhere else for another source of income.

I don't know why she would go work for Skipper again he didn't even know how to fully utilize her while he was there. She might as well call Simmons on the phone and see if he still has faith in her.

Mina is probably my favorite along with Bo and Pablo.

Maybe it's me but I've always felt like ATH was the best show they had because everyone gets to rotate in and out while still working as writers and columnists. Then you'd have guys like Adande who do some NBA reporting but he didn't need his own show. Smaller roles, smaller salaries except for the SAS's, Wilbons, TK's and the big dogs.

Trying to give people bigger roles isn't always best. Bo was great on Highly Questionable, Mike and Jemele had something good with His & Hers, and ESPN messed it all up trying to bump them up.
