ESPN's decline continues: Zach Lowe is laid off

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

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

He'll be the highest paid person there other than the original 3 and maybe Van Lathan and understandably...and damn, getting rid of KOC and getting him is a huge W if they do it

Nikkas in here doing all this complaining and STILL gonna tune in to that trash ass network.

Just boycott 'em already....

For a site that claims to not watch ESPN outside of games, folks know what goes on over there.

SMMFH @ this story. This dropped just yesterday btw

 

[Big Boss]

That Stephen A contract extension ain’t gonna pay itself

Zach was lame Dorks loved him though

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.

Biden almost killed that shyt if not for some dikkhead Trump judge.

NBC would be smart to scoop him up for podcasts/columns

The problem for a lot of these talent is how are you going to be able to show your worth to the company if they keep giving the same high profile roles to the same talent?

Independent/YouTube

That's the part that gets me
nikkas bootleg...watching via IPTV or some bootleg YouTube channel stealing ESPN's content

no wonder he was off for over a month. Normally even during the dead period he'll put something out once a week.

The Ringer's probably gonna try to rescue him to replace KOC and still host The Lowe Post. Pretty much down to The Hoop Collective and a couple of other basketball centered pods for me.

I can definitely see The Ringer scooping him up, he'll have podcasts and what not that could do nice numbers

People tune into ESPN because they air live sports and everything else is just filler.

Most guys are coming home from work or working from home and just leaving ESPN on.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I haven't watched non-game ESPN content in forever....

They've made it clear over the years that this is their focus and if you want some serious basketball analysis (and not just X's and O's either), it's an abundance of podcasts and information available outside of them. They just want their cartoon characters to go viral on digital platforms.

It's that but they want people who do multiple things (unless you're NFL based and even if you are NFL based, they still have guys like Kevin Clark doing Around the Horn)

Zach was making 7 figures a year, only does NBA, he's demanding of his personal time, he didn't whore himself out like Stephen A Smith, he's a non-athlete, not a troll and doesn't drive engagement.
