I wonder did finding out that Ford would change his NBA draft mocks to seem more accurate got him on the fire list
Like if he had been actually accurate I doubt they would of fired him

They can make him the sekou smith of espn. The guy that the on-air personalities turn to when they need someone to explain the intracacies of whats going on behind the scenes.

I don't have cable and when I did I didn't watch much ESPN. I'd either watch a game I wanted to see or read some highlights online after the fact. Question for the ESPN watchers - aren't there around 4 or 5 ESPN channels. Is there really enough desirable content to warrant the number of channels?
Reading this story makes me think of the problems Cable News has now. So much air time to fill with so little actual news (or desire to address real news). The void gets filled with more and more personality based content providing a "different twist" on the same stories.
Is the issue that there's demand for ESPN but the price point is too high for the consumer since it's bundled with a cable package? Or is it that people just don't want to watch ESPN to the extent they used to?

The problem is there is content on demand online (YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, etc) that you can get from so many different mediums and people don't need to go to their TV and turn to ESPN or pay for cable at all to access it.
That's why many cable companies are launching internet packages or merging with internet providers. I expect internet prices to rise rapidly over the years to balance it out for them.
Maybe the one with the highest salary? Then that would be kiper.
Yep the thing with on demand is that it is a one time show or a show that is maybe 10 episodes in a season like on netflicks.
The issue with ESPN isn't just trying to be greedy and have every sports program. One of the biggest issues is having 24 hour tv shows and radio shows.
ESPN literally has stations in almost every large city in america. While also have nationally broadcasted radio shows from about like 5 am in the morning to say 9 am. Then from like 7 pm to 5 am again when mike and mike comes on.
This is a total waste of money. There is no need to have live sports radio on from 9 pm to 5 am in the morning. Nor is there a need to have a local espn radio station lineup in every major market. If you add up the local ESPN radio lineup and add it to the national ESPN that takes over in the early morning and late at night it is 24 hours of live radio broadcasting in say chicago or dallas or LA and etc. That is just a waste of money.
No wonder ESPN is hemorrhaging money. Then to add on the 5 or 6 cable channels they have plus the SEC channel and Longhorn channel which are both a waste of money.
Think about it......even BET, MTV and TVone show syndicated shows and infomercials to control cable channel cost. Yet ESPN does non of this.
