It's gonna be all the insiders they bring in for small segments. Former athletes and whatnot

She can't help but respond. That twitter handle will be a shitshow today.

Stephen A, Bomani Jones, and Jemele Hill will still be there the day they cut the lights off at ESPN. Not that they deserve to be there, just that they can't be fired according to the Disney/ESPN unspoken mission statement

That's a fake account bro

It seems like ESPN was just bloated on-air reporters who were getting paid way to much for the little bit of screen time they had.
No way they fire the two anchoring the 6pm sports center even if the more sports board hates them. Now Bomani Jones is another story, he doesn't really bring much to the table.

If I was cutting expenses the first place I would start is all of the former player analysts that periodically pop in for four days a month. ESPN has them under contract, flies them to Conn, puts them up in their ESPN Hotel on campus and pays them per diem to sit on a set and give their opinion.
People like Antonio Davis, Darren Woodson, etc that are good at their job but refuse to live in Conn and only appear sporadically. The costs to have these guys on the payroll and appear on the network must be astronomical.

Oh boy. They should do a show announcing these. Would be the highest ratings maybe ever
Yep. People would watch out of morbid curiosity.

he is paid. I'd imagine it would cost a ton to fire him
hes not at risk of being let go, but I bet hes pissed all the guys he came up with are being let go. He might go full nuclear if Melrose is cut

They need to fire Jalen Rose. He can't make a coherent sentence

Are you getting laid off, Jemele?

Replying to @CollinPrice1
No
There was no shot anyway, but damn
ESPN has brought their own failures on themselves with: A) their stupid TV contracts, and B) their insistence at pushing political agendas without realizing that their primary audience doesn't want to hear it

That Jemele account is real. That is her

He was talking about the Jeff Goodman account, that was fake, my bad.

So 3 confirmed names
Ed Werder
Scott Burnside
Jeff Goodman
All 3 guys I like
Good luck ESPN by doubling down and going all in on the African American demographic. Might as well change the name Sports Center while you are at it, sounds too white.
