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

[Rev]

Not a bad crew as long as it’s consistent and if they finally fix that Halftime commercial format.

So looking at this schedule, throughout the season are they just on whenever Inside the NBA is not?

Great look for her and Netflix. Glad she’s able to do both ESPN and that with her new contract.

Reading Marchand’s article there is some skepticism if she stays on ESPN long term with Netflix’s growing interest in sports. We will see, but I suspect she won’t be on ESPN past 2026.

Elle Duncan leaving ESPN as result of Netflix move:

that women’s basketball lineup was one of the strongest crews ESPN had

But she gets paid more to work less. Living the dream.

And gets/has to leave Bristol, CT. Who wants to live there?

Guess what I said in my post yesterday is out the window.

Props to Elle. She’s great, and can do her own thing like Kay Adams does but even bigger now.

Man that's a great move by Netflix. I'm telling you if ESPN don't start paying their talent, Netflix, Amazon and NBC will. See that, Molly. That's how you position yourself for a power move. Meanwhile Molly sitting at home doing nothing cause she wanted more than 500k.

Molly was right.

Stephen A.'s making 40x what she does after a decade of being the host of their #1 show.

It's asinine, asiten, aseleven

I would argue that it's not even just about the pay, it's about there effectively being a bit of a cap on where you can take your career at ESPN right now, since they don't really know what their identity is. Unless you're Greenberg, McAfee, or Stephen A, becoming a network defining personality is probably not in the cards for you for the foreseeable future. Can't blame some of these folks for wanting to at least take a shot at taking themselves further, especially if it's like her instance where she gets paid more to work less.
