No. LeBatard has a ton of dead air and talks about Bruce Jenner and other dumb shite that has nothing to do with sports.

looks to me like its regional types. Regional sports/ specific teams /leagues and expiring big dollar contracts

truthfully no different that what any big business will do

some shifts will take place, holdovers assume additional responsibilities perhaps for the NFL one reporter to cover one division .

Which is why his show has good ratings. Who wants to listen to non stop sports talk from 8am-5pm. LeBatard fills a niche.

Congrats on being the 50 millionth person to use the "show you supposedly don't watch angle." I have a prize to mail you for your originality and wit.

Fun fact, viewership is declining, so people actually aren't watching.

I think you completely missed the point

There is a reason we no longer watch

73rd time this comment has been made in this thread. Not annoying at all.

Is it not possible some people have given ESPN shows a chance, realize they don't like it, stop watching, but want it to be better?

I actually like Lebatard in the offseason, it can be an entertaining show. Now when he goes into SJW mode? I can't listen. I think that's because he's lazy and knows he can rely on the kaep stuff to get him through most of the show.

Who actually does that?

His time slot goes against music, not other talk shows.

I honestly have only heard of two people in this thread who got laid off thus far (Werder and McMurphy). These all seem to be regional/online people.
