Never felt like I was getting a corporate narrative with him. Guess that’s why others liked him. Also cost him a job.

No, stupidity did that. He wasn't working at Google, ESPN trade secrets aren't worth your job.

So he was ACCUSED of leaking info and they FELT like he didnt fully cooperate, so they fired him. I didnt read anything that said it was concrete evidence or if Adnan admitted anything.

That's too bad. All he had to do was lie to ESPN.

What kind of secrets could he share? “Psst, Tuesday will be meatloaf day in the cafeteria.” Is he giving up Kipers Big Board to non-insiders? And who is he leaking it to?

There have been some big leaks in the past, from Skipper doing cocaine and resigning to the leaks about Jemele Hill and how ESPN PR was trying to deal with her.

Deadspin also has a few moles in Bristol. No idea what he leaked but there are lots of big possibilities.

ESPN rising star Adnan Virk has been fired by the network, sources [Adnan Virk]told The Post. Virk is accused of leaking confidential company information to the media on multiple occasions, according to sources [Adnan Virk].




Fixed.....

Didn't Virk get his job at ESPN by being a part of that publicity stunt that ESPN did back in 2010, where for a month or so they had new SportsCenter hosts pop up every week on the ESPN channels and on ESPN News, and had them sort of compete against each other on the air?? They were all very young guys, that looked straight out of college or some looked like they were video game geeks. Seems like that was the first time I saw Virk on the network, and his name was a huge "WTF" for me....

Damn he was good.

Although the whole leaking thing doesn't look good and could be an issue with getting a job somewhere else.

Looks like it was about the future of ESPNs baseball coverage. Leaked to Awful Announcing.

quote:

The reason ESPN reportedly fired Baseball Tonight host, Adnan Virk, last Friday was because he leaked information to the website, Awful Announcing.

quote:

"The feelling was that Adnan had been leaking information and on this occasion, acccording to my sources, he pre-emptively told Awful Annoucing reporter Ben Koo about a conference call [ESPN] was having about baseball and then [Virk] missed some of the call and so then after he followed up with the senior coordinating for baseball at ESPN, Phil Orleans, and he asked him pointed quesions that weren't actually in the conference call and then that information ended up on Awful Announcing's website later that day, so it tipped off ESPN," Marchand told SI Media Podcast host, Jimmy Traina. "So they did an investigation and they felt like Adnan wasn't truthful or forthcoming when they figured out what happened. It's unclear if he'd been truthful if he would've kept his job, but it probably would've helped."
