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

[No1]

They scruntize athlete contracts everyday, their contracts are definitely fair game. I remember Jemele and them having celebrations and jokes when Jeff Fisher and Marvin Lewis got fired but when their friends get fired it’s “private”. No.

That’s a fair point.

Didn't this woman just have a baby a few months ago?

That’s an old pic of Mina Kimes. She’s about to have the baby soon.

When this happen

At least it won’t be another Get Up situation where a contract leak changed the direction of a show and fukked up two people’s careers in the process.

What's the story on this ?

Elle got her own talk show?

Is it on ESPN? Cause it don't look like it....

 

[cheapshot]

Good for her. Everyone seems to have a talk show now & she's more likeable than most of them.

What's the story on this ?

When Get Up was first announced, I think it was THR that did a story on the show and mentioned the contract amounts for Beadle, Jalen and Greeny. For whatever reason, people completely lost their minds about it and doomed the show before it even started until they revamped it by getting rid of Beadle and Jalen.

That's it was such a big deal over the ratings from the beginning and why Beadle chose to dip out because it was said she never wanted to do the show in the first place and only did so because Skipper kept increasing the bag. They didn't do themselves any favors with the goofy superhero skits promoting the show, but still.

Weird now that contract numbers for sports talent are being thrown around like it's always been the norm.

That's news to me although ESPN did just revamp the SC set and the background looks similar to it with the name change of course.

The studio was a waste of money as they didn't even use the majority of the set and became more of storage space, which you could always see in the background.

I wonder is the West Coast studio that FT is in currently the one that's going to be closed down

So that means they’re just doing everything in Bristol?
