I wonder at what point does SVP get tired of doing midnight shows and want's to live a normal life, especially once he has animosity towards ESPN for cutting all his old buddies

but no more boring than mundane sports talk about manufactured topics because there's nothing else to talk about IMO.

I tried listening the other day...he was being a condescending dick bag about baseball (he said with certainty LSU would sweep the remaining OOC games ooooops) and then started screaming in a segment about the saints likely not dealing for Butler, it was just awful.

Agree. I like some of that show. And disagree with some takes which is fine.
But the extended dead air time and never knowing if they are actually still on the air bugs me.

looks like a lot of the layoffs are writers for espn.com

I cannot wait for their final show ever on the network:
ESPN 30 for 30: How we died.

Who wants to listen to non stop sports talk from 8am-5pm. LeBatard fills a niche.
Is there only 1 radio station out there that we are forced to listen too?
Who wants to watch non stop business stuff on Fox Business? Maybe they should talk about sports every now and then.

Viewership is declining because of cord cutting. Hell sports radio is dying a slow death. Mainly because people don't want to hear the same old takes throughout the day.
I would love to see what the MSB would produce for espn because I highly doubt the content would be any better than what's on their now.

He doesn't know the game; he doesn't understand what he's watching; he doesn't know anything about situational plays. Hell, 2 weeks ago he was calling for Watson to be benched just to get Romero on the field when Watson at the time had our highest SEC batting average and was in the middle of a 12-game hitting streak. He's fricking clueless.
he was being a condescending dick bag about baseball

One thing I'm learning from this thread is that I legit have not consistently watched ESPN in quite some time.
I've only recognized a couple of names on the fired list and I have to take the board's word on how bad some of the people staying are because I've never seen their shows.
If a lot of people are similar, ESPN is in deep shot no matter what because sports viewing in general would be plummeting. And I've got Tigerdroppinhs to supply my spicy hot take fix on all manners of topics.

Ed Werder is the only one i even recognize so far.
The Cowboys training facility won't be the same without Ed. Every time something newsworthy about the Cowboys has come up in his many years, Ed has been right there camping out getting the scoop. I have always thought he was a damn good reporter and I hope he catches on somewhere.

Everybody hates ESPN pundits and rightly so but their ridiculous NFL and NBA contracts are the main culprits for why ESPN has been struggling in recent years.
You think those contracts are the only instances in which that company is mismanaged? It's top to bottom.
