He will sign with the Ringer by the end of next week


Zach Lowe probably has a non-compete so he might be sitting for a while.

Think about it, it's been almost 2 years since we've seen Max Kellerman..........They're basically paying him not to work. I hope that's not the case for Zach Lowe but if it is, he's getting 7 figures to chill with his family which is the American dream.

ESPN realized that nobody is coming to them for shyt that doesn’t go viral. You can se it on their YouTube page. Titles are like “Rex Ryan goes ham on the Jerry”, “Shannon completely annihilates Bengals”.

Basically doubling down on hot takes, virality and building storylines

Shannon should be the best paid person on there cause he’s like the only one who has all traits.

From previous layoffs, I'd imagine that they want these talents taking televisions/front facing gigs elsewhere as it's less money that they have to pay out from the remainder of their deal.

Kellerman is probably doing the same thing that Beadle did in just collecting the paychecks as they'll still be in sort of demand even when those contracts expire.

Depending on how many years he has left on his deal and with him likely being in high demand, I'd imagine that Lowe won't have to sit out like that unless it's his choice.

Even sports talk radio is doing this crap.


WFAN posted a video the other day after the Mets lost to the Braves, it said

SEASON SLIPPING AWAY! Mets in Free Fall!​



Mind you, the Mets had just beaten the Phillies 3 out of 4 and had a 6-1 home stand.
