Bret wasnt too bad
I dont know much about him. But I do know he twisted facts to create a story that was untrue. Which is what I hate most about "journalism"

The bear is just a crew guy that they gave camera time too, right? I am of the belief that he has no real asking power in terms of more money..


This is a case where the lower paid employees benefit. If they are good at what they do and don't get paid an obscene amount of money, they will likely get to keep their jobs.

I like McMurphy because he is an Ok State alum, but he isn't much of a loss for CFB fans.

Even with all these cuts, nothing changes in terms of their financial picture.. The combined salary and benfits on an annual basis for all these people probably doesn't touch 10 million.. I cant fathom that someone like Russillo isnt a net gain financially, which begs the question why?

To me its apparent that they have decided to completely switch the style and branding of the network. Good luck with that bullshite..

Six years ago, made most difficult decision ever made leaving @Rivals to come to @ESPN. Even after being laid off today, I don’t regret it.

Including in the ESPN layoffs are some college football people. I'd expect names to come out later today.
