Kenny Mayne was a legacy dude and look what they did to him. You can add Golic to that list as well, who arguably got did worse more than anyone else.How do you know?

It's a business at the end of the day.
Kenny Mayne was awesome
Anytime companies get bought buy conglomerates they ruin everything
Yup as a lot of those legacy characters are/have gotten done dirty. Another one is Steve Levy, who will probably be one of those upcoming budget cuts as well.
Yeah I like Steve Levy
I met him on South Beach once he’s a cool dude
He was fascinated with my Kellen Winslow throwback Jersey
Steve Levy is the definition of an employee they've been trying to force to quit so they don't have to fire them, and they're too naive to just quit. He's had nearly every assignment taken from him and given to someone else over the last few years. He just got bounced from the MNF commentary B team because Chris Fowler demanded the spot after the wouldn't give him more money while negotiating his new contract.
For a lot of those ESPN talent, it’s too much money to quit so the company will wait until contract time and lowball them knowing that they won’t accept it.Steve Levy is the definition of an employee they've been trying to force to quit so they don't have to fire them, and they're too naive to just quit.

They didn’t even do that for Golic though and he acted blindly naive about the move even when it was obvious before that they were looking to toss him to the bushes. He thought that cancelled NYC move was the end of it eventhough initially adding Molly to the Mike & Mike was the precursor to Get Up
Your argument is basically Stephen A can’t do whatever he wants, which has nothing to do with what I said. I am talking about probability and you’re trying to do the same while speaking in absolutes in an attempt to win an argument.
My point is very simple, people who are regulars and tied to the bigger stars i.e. Stephen A are unlikely to be let go. Those same people are regulars on TV because of that, whether it’s on the Get Up, First Take, or any of the afternoon programming. Legler is one of those people throughout the past year. You literally just made my point for me but you’re so hung up on arguing that Stephen A can’t do whatever he wants — which no one said - that you don’t realize you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing. We’re not actually disagreeing - you just took my example completely out of context and missed my point while making it yourself.

I'd argue that Golic was less about him being naive, and more about him massively overestimating his standing, and thinking he had juice that he didn't even come close to having.
He really thought that he was the Stephen A of ESPN Radio. Meanwhile, Golic and Wingo somehow managed to be an even older and whiter version of Mike and Mike, and ESPN affiliated sports talk stations have been struggling, since the shrinking audience isn't tuning in to hear national shows at this point anyway. He should've known what time it was when Wingo's primary reason for quitting the show, knowing full well it was probably him actually quitting the company, was "I don't want to get up that early," and there weren't a ton of people rushing to replace him.
My point to you is being a regular on TV means nothing in the grand scheme of things as a lot of those ESPN talent during the layoffs were regulars that showed up on TV and were cut the next. No one is immune from layoffs out here. Having that mindset is how you end up getting caught slipping anyways especially considering it's already been reported that a lot of those layoffs are going to come from the NFL/NBA side of things.
He was naive in the point that he didn't realize Greeny's long term aspirations even when it was obvious in front of him the entire time. The signs were all there with the Mike & Mike move to NYC and them bringing in Molly as a 3rd host, but IIRC I think it was delayed and not cancelled altogether as they were still working on the new set at the time. The Get Up concept was rumored for months even before the official announcement was made, yet Golic was still blindsided by the move by his own words.
Anything about that was him overestimating his stand in still thinking that his legacy and stature from Mike & Mike would still keep him in those type of roles and why he and his family felt insulted by how they treated him at the end.
Did they do him dirty? Of course, but the signs were always there that they valued Greeny more than they did him.

Didn't he rape or sexually assault a grandmother or something? Might have been wondering why you'd wear that.Yeah I like Steve Levy

I have no doubt Jalen Rose is out after the Finals.
He's been a nomad since Jalen and Jacoby was canceled.
When he started showing up randomly on NBA Today with Malika I immediately assumed he's gone soon.

Probably Kellen Winslow Sr jersey, not Jr.
