Deadspin says Woj is "close" to leaving Yahoo for ESPN

[SHAQAVELLI]

I do love Yahoo for fantasy sports, but I'm not checking out much of its sports coverage.

Woj, Zach Lowe, Brian Windhorst, Marc Spears, Dave McMenamin, Marc Stein all reporting on the NBA like KD joining the Warriors.

Big for espn, clown Broussard out woj in

 

[mastermind]

This is huge for ESPN.


Thought dude had a blood feud with them from how he was treated when he used to work there.

 

[Reid2Achieve]

Doesn't he pretty much hate ESPN and always talk petty shyt about them in his articles/pods?

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

I wonder if he would bring The Vertical brand with him. This is smart, the TV exposure would be huge for his brand... he will easily have his own Grantland level hoops joint going within the next 3 years if he joins ESPN

but i thought espn trynna cutback? if im fs1, cbs or nbc, id throw the kitchen sink for breh.

as the great ted dibiase once said, "everybody has a price"

woj is the only person aside from spears here and there, that i fukks with when it comes to nba coverage.

Yep. Dude needs to bring that entire draft team with him. They did a way better job of covering the draft last year.

I was wondering why there were broken links all over the Vertical in the last two weeks...guess this explains it

Spears could have recruited him too, both are pretty close. Yahoo is sinking, espn is doing bad too but they are still miles ahead of others when it comes to ratings..etc

he'll get ROI for them, shyt sports radio basically halts production when he tweets news out to report on his reports.

AND THE NEWWWWWW......Bill Simmons.

Plus, hopefully this means we'll see less of Brian Windhorst. He is awful, and rough to look at honestly.

If Woj steps in, guys like Marc Stein & whoever else won't be necessary. Woj (and his little crew) is the only source necessary.

 

[puggle]

I would rather have Woj than another shytty "personality" they're trying to groom like Will Cain. Good get.

That'll be their biggest get since they took Schefter from NFL Network back in 2009.
