I think the ESPN morning crowd is a lot more liberal than people think. I mean Stephen A rules the airways and the topics that get shine usually don’t get highlighted on ESPN prime time. They talk HBCU, WNBA, and Stephen gets a ton of black co hosts etc.

Shannon might be able to give an apology about all of it, and with retracted statements he can play it off as nastiness but not anything too torrid.

There’s an avenue back. It might be slim but I wouldn’t be shocked :manny:

If his personal media ventures hold up and he keeps his nose clean moving forward he'll be back on Fox Sports by 2028.

They desperate over there for anything that catches.

If he smart he'll get married by 2027 or at least be in a public relationship w/ somebody age appropriate (40+)

Man I understand killing hookers at this point
Whoa, whoa, whoa... are you ok?

Statement by Flywin Lannister's lawyer:

Mr. Officer reading along to study what the Black people are up to for the CIA/FBI/whatever, my client does NOT personally know the Coli poster CM Burns.

I think he can 100% rebound with the podcast and get the sponsors back. ESPN shyt is done though. Too much other work related scandals came out when this lawsuit dropped
How would he get the sponsors back..? Wouldn't ESPN dropping him be the entire reason why sponsor's would NOT want to go back?

I think there's only 1 way

Go on ESPN

Apologize, apologize, apologize

And apologize, apologize, apologize

YouTube podcast audience and ESPN viewing audience are two totally different demos. They are going to see this as a shakedown which it was and continue to watch.

Also I’m sure the “workplace” environment around a podcast is much smaller than being at espn studios. He was lucky to even get back with fox after his last workplace shyt happened, that was a different era
