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

[Bleed The Freak]

I'm glad Stephen A is standing up for himself....but it's hypocritical for a guy who routinely asks for people to be canned or bums ( they too have reached the pinnacle of their profession) but when nikkas come for his throat he's off limits......kind of like when Skip got all feminine when Jalen came at him. They routinely make their comments personal so get it how ya live.

Timeout, so ESPN brought Wilbon out only to do game 1 between the Celtics and Wizards?

Could they not afford him to do Jazz/Clips?

I don't have cable and when I did I didn't watch much ESPN. I'd either watch a game I wanted to see or read some highlights online after the fact. Question for the ESPN watchers - aren't there around 4 or 5 ESPN channels. Is there really enough desirable content to warrant the number of channels?

Reading this story makes me think of the problems Cable News has now. So much air time to fill with so little actual news (or desire to address real news). The void gets filled with more and more personality based content providing a "different twist" on the same stories.

Is the issue that there's demand for ESPN but the price point is too high for the consumer since it's bundled with a cable package? Or is it that people just don't want to watch ESPN to the extent they used to?

One reason they have so many channels is that a lot of the programming they air broadcasts at the same time. For example if they want to be the leader in college football they need more than one channel because at any one time its like 20+ games airing and there will be multiple big time matchups, especially late in the season. Same with college basketball.
