Mina is good but that'd be a dumb move, she's an analyst not a host like Kolber is. If anything she'd be Young's replacement.

What I don't get is can't ESPN just tell their talent you can keep your job but you have to take a pay cut or go part-time? Hell Jalen Rose never really worked 40 hours a week anyways. I get they want to cut costs, but does just firing people and replacing them with cheaper talent really save money versus telling employed folks you are part-time and or you have to take a pay cut if you want to work at ESPN.

They offered pay reductions to some so they could keep their job. And they turned it down.

quote:

One source told FOS that Everett turned down a new contract that offered him a reduced salary from the one he signed in July 2021. The person said it was similar to the one Kenny Mayne rejected before leaving the company the same year. Mayne said at the time he left as a "salary cap casualty," adding that he was offered a 61 percent pay cut.

She'll get picked up by CBS or NBC very soon.

She would actually be really good on a college football or horse racing broadcast. She has a very friendly and positive demeanor and fits those sports.

For a long time, she seemed like one of the few women that actually knew what she was talking about. I'm sure they will replace her with a younger, more attractive bubblehead.

Pollack got too pro-Georgia in his comments. That interview he did with Coach Saban was over the top. If you want these jobs you have to stay sane, especially when you are a national product. I thought David had long since started coming off like a fanboy. Maybe he can go work the sidelines of the dawg games.

The writing was on the wall with Pollock. They reduced his role once McAfee came on

He was absolutely correct in everything he said in the interview with Saban.

I didn't think he was anything close to a fan. It's his alma matter, so of course he will have a soft spot for UGA. Just like our guys do for LSU.

Fyi,him and Glen Dorsey are the two most dominant d linemen I have ever seen in NCAA.

And now he's unemployed. Just connecting the dots.

Watch Rece Davis on being impartial. If he wants to ride that red and black pony he should have been over on the SEC network.

She is 100% all about race and equality. She is not Ryan Clark bad but she is bad.
