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

Funny...because she probably got the flat out best football opinions on the whole network.

If she was a man she'd be a coach on somebodies sidelines.

Much rather listen to her than listen to that dude who ran out the back of the endzone rank quarterbacks

Also, them putting her salary out there like that is DIRTY. Someone hating heavy on her

I would always rather listen to players that actually were in the trenches but it is what it is

I think Mina is good at her job. I don't know that she is driving viewers/subscribers.

Would rather listen to somebody who has been covering the nfl for a long time than listen to some goofy who has the nerve to rank current qb's after he did nothing as a qb but run out of bounds and end up on every sports blooper reel ever.

Soon as Dan open his mouth I turn the channel. What he going to tell me? How to give the other team two points? Not interested in that.

Most of the best sports minds weren’t elite players. JJ Reddikk wasn’t some star but he knows the game.

Mina is good at her job. Whether she drives ratings by herself is another thing. I think you need that whole crew together.

Tim Legler, Louis Riddikk, Swagu

There is a difference between not being elite and doing the dumbest thing you could do on a football field.

I think that’s the question that poster is insinuating. Peter King brought up a similar question a last week with Diana Russini after it came out that she will be the highest paid person in the history of The Athletic.

It’s a fair question whether posters are willing to admit it or not. Swagu is probably the one talent lately that’s been able to avoid the question.

To be fair, this isn't a Mina exclusive question. I'm skeptical that any of these ESPN personalities are driving subscriptions. Is McAfee the exception because of the success he already had outside of ESPN? Maybe.

I'd argue theyre paying Mina because they believe it looks good to have a moderately attractive woman working at ESPN that knows football really well.

It's kind of the same justification that Netflix and HBO used for a while to produced shows and movies that no one watched. It seems they're not on that business anymore and it was often hard to find anything redeeming about the sludge they were producing, in contrast to Mina being good at her job but you get the point.

Is 1.7 million for Mina better than 1.7 for Bomani, Todd McShay, and Suzy Kolber (honestly the three of them probably made more than 1.7)? Who knows. Maybe having fewer people at Espn will make the ones that are there still more valuable.

She is not attractive, lets just stop not moderately or anything with the word attractive, and she is ok she has decent takes but yall acting like yall go on the hunt or want to hear her opinion, NOBODY has ever seen something go down and be like oh my god i can't wait to hear Mina's take on it..

 

[NYC Rebel]

She’s a woman and this is sports. The reaction you respond to is typical.

My GOD you are a shyt poster

Her attractiveness is subjective.

There's no one in traditional sports media whose opinions I'm clamoring to hear, so I'm not sure what your point is.

 

[Morethan1]

Dudes on here gas her up like she's legit eye candy.

Mina the homie but that bytch ugly.
Right @Thavoiceofthevoiceless

 

[Mister_DoItNice]

Y’all are doing too much. Mina is a part of one of their most successful shows. NFL Live is a show they value so they want to keep it going. As a result, her and Spears got rewarded.
