ESPN plans another big round of layoffs
ESPN reportedly plans another big round of layoffs in the coming weeks
BY PETE GRATHOFF NOVEMBER 10, 2017 9:10 AM Once upon a time, “SportsCenter” was must-see television for fans. But ESPN’s one-time signature program apparently will be at the center of another round of layoffs that reportedly will happen in the coming weeks. Sports Illustrated reported that more than 100 people will lose their jobs after Thanksgiving. This is from the SI story: The layoffs, which were described by a person briefed on the plans, will hit positions across ESPN including front-facing talent on the television side, producers, executives, and digital and technology staffers. The SportsCenter franchise is expected to be hit hard—including on-air people—given the frequency of the show has lessened considerably on main network ESPN. As more people drop cable in favor of streaming, ESPN has felt the financial pinch. In April, ESPN cut a number of long-time journalists as part of a round of layoffs that included 100 people. According to the Los Angeles Times, ESPN weighed down the earnings of its parent company, Walt Disney, in a report on Thursday. The Times said that Disney’s “revenue declined 3 percent and the company failed to meet analysts’ expectations.” The holiday season may seem like a harsh time to shed jobs. But Sports Illustrated said one reason why ESPN is planning the layoffs between Thanksgiving and Christmas is so employees can received another year in the stock vesting program.

Shannon ****ing Sharpe managed to get Chiefs fans to like him by giving effusive praise to our QB. Why can’t Kellerman? Even moreso, because Kellerman was relatively early to the Mahomes party.

I've always had a weird crush on Suzy Kolber.
On the other end of the spectrum Jeff Van Gundy was in need of a foot to the ass to lead him out the exit door moons ago. |

Somewhere on YouTube is a clip of Sharpe hating the Mahomes pick and Bayless loving it. It’s almost like watching that show in an alternate universe.

Brewer is the only loss from that group.

Outside of college basketball and Monday night football, why in the world would you give that network your time?

I used to be an ESPN junkie - now I only watch when forced to, and I know I'm not alone.
What do we think will become of ESPN in the long run?? |
