Lower their asking fee to cable companies and in the mean time eat a shitload of money that they have tied up in TV contracts for the NBA and the NFL.

The above isn't happening, so they have to figure it out or these cuts will happen again, and soon. They got fleeced by the NBA

Do you know David Greene also? They might have been roommates



No

I know they rode scooters together and were total toolbags

But regardless, he's grown into a pretty decent CFB guy for ESPN

Reading through this thread it's hard to tell who has actually been fired and who y'all are just speculating about.


Ed Werder is the biggest name so far.

And how much does Miss Jemele make?

Oh, her net worth is 4 Million, her salary is 1 million.

I can call for her firing all fricking day.

Her net worth to the company is limitless because she's a loud, independent black woman

Like other colleagues, I've been informed I am no longer working for ESPN. This is a crummy day, but I'll never stop pursuing my passion.

I'm thinking Tebow officially gets axed. No more of the back and forth with SEC Nation. You're either committed with us or not sort of thing

I got nostalgic about Fowler leaving too, but in the end, it's fine without him

I think Corso is probably going soon anyway, so they won't see it as a huge issue. Give him maybe through the end of this season or whatever

for CFB I think they would get rid of their fake QB guru Whitfield, Desmond, the Bear and maybe Galloway

ESPN expanded rapidly to capitalize on a market. Market is no longer there so they need to contract. Have one main channel, an alternate or two for live sports, and heavy online presence. Also, they need to shift their politics to neutral, though it's probably too late for that
