That and people are looking for nmore niche ways to get information about sports (podcast). I can remember years ago the local BR guys making fun of the podcast/blog movement. Now every single one of them has one.

The big question is how? What can ESPN do to reverse the trend and try to win back cord cutters? It's a losing battle IMO.
I don't disagree for the most part. Maybe they're trying to speed up the inevitable of by bolstering Steven A, SC 6 etc.

Podcasts is where it is at. The Pardon My Take podcast is better then 95% of sports talk on TV/radio

I've heard of two of those, Werder and Bowden. Bowden only because he's on Sirius fantasy sports radio.

I'm really interested to see where they go in the future. I think these guys are too good and getting to big to "just be a podcast".

Isn't she considered one of their top people now?
I really don't think any of their prime names will be laid off. If anything, they're laying off lower and middle tier people to be able to pay their top people big salaries.

looks like they're mainly gutting their bloated web content

he relies too heavily on theriot to back up what he says
Yes, I'm triggered.

In all honest, I miss the days when espn 2 used to show strongman competitions all night or x games material. The fact is that espn (like other major new agencies) are too big to fully adapt to the change in how people get their media.

They'll sell out at some point. They even admitted it before

Right now on ESPN they're discussing the "whitest" and the "blackest" positions in the NFL.

So more Kanell? While I like him, I don't think his role on the should increase. I like the fact that Russillio calls him out on some of the shite he puts out there.

they said "greatly reduced role" how do you even do that with a daily radio show?

That viewership isn't coming back.

Well, it's not our job. They are paid to put something good out there. Just because I can't do any better doesn't mean I can't acknowledge they aren't doing a great job. What an absolutely stupid comment from you.
It is your job. If you can't even tell us what you would prefer, what are they supposed to do?
I think one thing you said was go back to the way it used to be, which I assume you mean things like the same SC highlights in the mornings. We've already explained how social media has rendered that format obsolete. No one is tuning in to look at highlights that happened yesterday. ESPN had to change.
