works for many active hoopa posters.

 

[wood20ks]

No idea who that is. I threw in the towel on ESPN years ago. Their format is just so incredibly stale. I can’t believe people still watch it:

8:00AM-2 men arguing
9:00AM-black man arguing with white man
10:00AM-2 black men arguing while a woman looks on
11:00AM-old guy arguing with young guy

Etc…etc…etc…

Sounds like this Sports forum.......especially the Politics forum.

I like watching Get Up,The Herd and First things First....

Only reason I turn on First Take is Molly Qerim....other than that,the show is dead to me.

What the fuck is with all your bloviating?
I said Disney is having some financial distress and you are talking politics, NFL kneeling, and dissing on conservatives.
Pull your inflated head out of your ass before it does more damage!

More damage to his head or his ass?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

yeah they should have stuck with sports & not politics.

ESPN lays off 20 on-air employees in latest round of job cuts

It’s part of an effort to shore up its finances before the sports media giant faces greater scrutiny from investors.

Meanwhile that moron Mcafee gets huge money.

I'm surprised they didn't start making cuts to their sports analyst staff sooner. Seems like half of retired NFL players who ever had a good/popular run of even a couple of seasons was getting an analyst job at ESPN when they were hiring guys like RG3, or when they once begged guys who clearly wouldn't be cut out for it like Brett Favre to do it. Never seemed sustainable to me, and it's a small miracle that that gravy train managed to last as long and hard as it did.

I still miss Kenny Mayne. He wasn't the most talented announcer and perhaps didn't possess that classic 'sports reporting' voice, but he was the network's wittiest broadcaster, a trait I've always appreciated.

He was great

Him and Dan Patrick had great chemistry

Instead we get unqualified dei hires
