ESPN Layoffs: who was fired today
- Thread starter jetsaholic
- Start date
So Lebron James will still be working in the office? I haven't seen that deadbeat reporter publish one story.
Lol at all the tweets saying the same thing. Wonder if it was a condition of their release by ESPN?
Would be nice to see a "Fvck you ESPN! Suck my d!ck!" tweet. I know they all have to get jobs after this but it would still be funny.

Danny Kannell was hilarious, he knew how to poke the SEC fans that couldn't take a joke
Jamelle Hill still has a job? All of the afternoon shows are garbage. They should just create a sitcom or bring back that 90's cartoon with Bo Jackson, Gretzky and Jordan.
I'm convinced that they are intentionally running their network into the ground if Hill survives these layoffs. No way in hell she's producing higher ratings on SC, I can't find 1 person that enjoys watching or reading her content.
dropping McMurphy, Stark, Kannell, and Werder, but keeping assbags like Stephen Smith, Jemele Hill, and Jay Bilas (and don't forget they tried to throw millions at Skip Bayless to stay) is a total fail. Basically, you need to be a controversial windbag if you want a job at ESPN these days.
Unfortunately, that's what sells in the climate they have created.
Yet it doesn't. Ratings for their shitty shows get blown out of the water by Bonanza reruns.
There is nothing wrong with Jay Bilas. He is an excellent analyst and brings a lot to their college basketball games.
courtesy of an Honors find on the JV board. I remember Kannell being the color commentary for the UCF vs Louisville game, he was one of the first guys to talk up Bortles before that game
Broadcast color guy Jay Bilas is the best Jay Bilas. Opinion show Jay Bilas is an asshole.
He's a lawyer during his day job. He presents himself as one when he argues points on the air. I guess it never really bothered me all that much.
I quit watching and listening to ESPN a few months ago. Can't take all the liberal stupid coming from it.
The audience loves these crazy ass argument shows, it fits perfectly with society right now. Would I prefer ESPN keep actual reporters and get rid of these loud mouths (Kellerman, Steven A and Jemele), yes, but I'm also no longer ESPN's target audience.
