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

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

What does espn shows have to do with a klutch party? Nothing. The soccer girl isnt a household name and she was on it. The list to lebrons party means nothing

She's more famous and notable that she ended up on the list and Katie Nolan didn't. That's the point. The entire premise of them even telling the story was making fun of how non-famous she is that she had to fake like she was someone famous just to get into the afterparty.

Never knew Katie Nolan stans existed

I'm not a Katie Nolan stan. I just think that she gets a bad wrap and comparing her to Mina Kimes when that's not who she is. As I've said before, should have never signed with ESPN in the first place and instead went to The Ringer.

A mill isn't easy to turn down, but all money isn't good money.

Only thing I remember about Katie Nolan is she kind of resembles the joker and she made a joke about sucking dikk for a sleeve of Oreos

Where?

Where?

Not sure if she was just used wrong/underutilized or overhyped, probably a bit of both, but she was a waste of some big dollars from espn. That said, she grew on me as part of Dan’s orbit of people and I hope she either joins the lark or finds a successful endeavor elsewhere. I assume Bomani will be sending a similar tweet in the coming weeks

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.

Agreed. Espn had a better lineup when they had more personalities doing smaller roles or niche shows. Now they’ve tried to create these big 1-2 hour blocks and leverage the same 5 headliners and 10 rotating guests across all their shows all day.

They added shows no one asked for and got rid of shows that were necessary. How do you get rid of NFL Primetime, Outside the Lines, and the Sports Reporters? They used to have the perfect mix of entertainment and quality sports journalism then they started leaning too heavy on personalities.

Somebody gotta do a piece on how Skip Bayless fukked up the game.

Katie Nolan is the typical "quirky" white woman who makes sarcasm her entire personality. everytime she speaks, its like she expects a laugh track to follow her words.

ESPN is an entertainment network that happens to broadcast sports.

Once PTI is out out to pasture, they won’t even try to give you journalism at that point. It’s indicative of America.

You buggin, jemele was dope when she was strictly a sports voice, Mina Kimes can run any dude out the room in NFL talk and analysis, Doris Burke, Candace Parker, and Chiney O are great at basketball. Put some respect on the XX gene
