re: ESPN LSU Correspondent David Ching part of mass layoffs

ESPN...liberal...election...congress...you people are fricking retarded. ESPN sucks because their original programming is boring, pre-packaged afterbirth from their days where Stuart Scott called players as cool as the other side of the pillow, etc. (30 for 30 is great, though).

The writing was on the wall more than a year ago. Cowherd, Skip, and Grantland's Simmons were the first wave of cost-cutting. The internet has democratized live events, including sports, making decade-long, billion-dollar TV rights deals too financially burdensome to balance with the sportscaster parrots that now anchor the sportcenter desk and the "color analysts" who just recite the tired tropes of broadcast-speak during the Taxslayer Bowl.

This shite ain't hard to figure out.
