Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

He's good but still young. He would be better partnered with a veteran announcer

Like Mike Breen and/or Doris Burke

Keep getting them checks Rich.

Mike Breen is a plat by play guy. I'm talking about another veteran analyst. I would like it if they replaced Burke with Leglar.

I don't see thus happening but I think Mike Malone would be a good color commentator cuz his alpha personality would be a good balance with Jefferson softer analytical approach. Doubt it would happen tho cuz Malone wants to coach

Givony will probably go the paywall route

 

[Jmare007]

WTF is a Peter Schrager?

One of the lamest, more boring ass cacs you'll encounter covering football

Givony will probably go the paywall route

Wonder if he's gonna get replaced by Rafael Barlowe.

I rock with dude, that would be a dope addition

I don't know if that's what Rafael has in mind. He wanted to do more in depth storytelling about college prospects.

James on the other hand would probably LOVE to do this, but my guess is he'll just take over for his brother on Locked on NBA Big Board.

KOC was recruiting them big time this past draft cycle though.

That's cool. ESPN pivoted from trying to dominate that space when they let Simmons go imo. Pablo failed on TV. Why hasn't he made an effort to get back on that type of medium?

A lot of those talent aren't built to be on TV and that's okay.

ESPN has to make their tv shows work.
They can always buy a podcast network, but with their tv they are losing Disney money

I would think the entertainment TV side of Disney is what’s losing money (Hulu, ABC, Disney+).

Live sports is where it’s at and looks like they’re winning on that side for the most part.

My thing is, with all of the money they have at their disposal, why cant they hire people that are likable. Nobody on the planet turns on ESPN for Mad Dog Russo or Kendrick Perkins but they are on marquee shows. I dont get it.
