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

yea, NBC should put him on. he was all over the Olympics coverage too...could be good for the track coverage leading up to and during in 2028.

hope they get a good host for Sunday Countdown. Sam Ponder's voice was nails on a board.

Given how close it is to the season, I'm guessing they just give it to Laura Rutledge, and then give Joe Buck's wife the NFL Live job.

Devin Gardner is actually a really good football mind on his podcast and doing analysis, but tries way too hard to be a character...don't be that guy if you're not...

Gotdamn. Everyone has a podcast. I’ll check it out when the season begins.

It's a straight up Xs and Os show often with Al Borges.

Entertainment media doesn't have a choice especially entities like ESPN

BSPN let cornball RG3 go .

Dude knew he was a lame but instead trying to front, he embrace it and was actually funny with it along with his wife and kids. Can't hate on the man for that .

They should've fired hoe ass Joey Galloway

RGIII still has some humor about it.

We might need to have the conversation about how RG3 might be a hall of fame level self aware corny breh that somehow manages to be funny as shyt.

He's himself at all times.

I thought he was doing a solid job and better than Bart Scott and a few other ex players they have on there. Hopefully he gets picked up soon.

Agreed. He always comes off as just being himself, even if he's present a viewpoint that's bullshyt. The problem with a lot of the personalities on screen now is that it's blatantly obvious that they're playing a character for engagement. For example, whenever Dan Orlovsky says some wild shyt, it's clear as day that he's up to some bullshyt. Meanwhile, RG3 will do some wild shyt like the pictures with his wife, or "It's an Orji in the end zone", and you know good and damn well he's really just that goofy.

I don’t get ESPN’s love affair with Greenberg. He’s very good studio/anchor guy, but you think he’s Costas level with the money/jobs he ‘s had.

Naahhhhh Greeny hosting has to be a smoke screen, no? He’s doing Get Up in NY on most days, especially during football season. I know it’s just a Sunday morning show but damn.

I like the promotion to Sundays for Laura Rutledge but Sunday Countdown is such an afterthought. Feel like she’ll be buried on that show.
