ESPN will cut more than 40 on-air personalities in May..

[Mac4Lyfe]

Please get rid of Beth Moanings. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Worst announcer of the bunch. I mute the TV anytime she's on. Reggie Miller is awful too but he may be on TNT?

[Ralphie Halves]

If you're a white, non-jewish male, look out!

Cable tv is dead. It's not the only network that's struggling. It got too expensive for the average household and millennials are just using internet streaming. The whole cable and satellite industry is failing because of operating costs and lower subscribers.

Sports programming will beccome ala carte, you live in Houston for instance, and want to see an out of market Warriors vs. Wizards game, give the provider 3.95 or 4.95 or whatever and it's yours.

I pay 165 dollars for the MLB extra innings package.
Every game, every day, real time.
Can't beat it.

ESPN? Who needs it.
It's day has come and gone, just like Erin Andrews (hate her) Keith Olberman (hate him) Skip Bayless (hate that fudge packer too)
Colin Cowherd (him I like) Mike Tirico (got shafted) Bill Simmons, and on and on and on and on

[JassieJames]

Get rid of Jessica Mendoza and maybe I can watch Sunday Night Baseball again!

[Jimmy Proffett]

They're going to keep losing subscribers and viewers of their TV channel and internet site if they keep screwing around and acting like a lamer version of TMZ.

Top stories on their website:

- Lavar Ball said something idiotic
- Tim Tebow went 1-12 in his last series; watch every at-bat
- Lebron James "Here's my thoughts on Lavar Ball and Tim Tebow"
- Here's a 120 page dissection of the Bucks/Hawks NBA series
- Is the NHL in their playoffs? We'll ask Barry Melrose and write 3 sentences about it.

I see YouTube has a streaming service now

[ChuckyTheGoat]

LINDA COHN: "Our newest anchor, JJGold, will give a rundown on tonite's NHL playoffs.

JJ GOLD: "Thank u, Linda. That's a nice dress."

LINDA: "Thank u, JJ."

JJ: "Wanna meet for a drink after the show?"

LINDA: "No, I don't."

JJ: "To the nite on frozen-pond..."

:

Hill should be gone too, but maybe they get good ratings at 6 PM with that terrible duo. The 40 will be 38 white folk. I hope Bucci doesn't go as the article mentioned. He's actually knowledgeable, especially with all Hockey. Actually, let him go somewhere else. He would be a great commentator for the NHL.

Bucci has his contract expiration date on his twitter profile...he gone. He'd be a great lead for the NHL network. Get rid of Tanguay and some of the ex-NHL players that can barely speak English. Flores landed at MLB Network after he was let go. The talented guys will find work.

[tony_come]

Former athletes must go

[Codasintehhouse]

ESPN going to the ghetto network
real cheap labor too


Democratic...going to keep losing viewers too

Liberals gonna liberal. Booob Costas talked gun control and lost money, ESPN just said they're gonna be more political (lol they have been liberal for years) I'm just a lurker but this place is turning liberal too, I notice the guy from Minnesota acts like he hunts and goes fishing but I'm not so sure. the liberals have taken over up there, a lot of terrorist in that state. I do trust the fella Opie he seems to be a good guy.


My reason for posting is I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago and this kid (probably around 30) saw that I was looking at the SBR odds, he said he was a big time gambler from Sterling Heights and was a big shot on sbr. I bought him his first ever Bloody Mary and he tried to tell me he wasn't Mexican (said he was some cockaratioin or something like that), I just laughed and said ok. After trying to keep up drinking with me I figured out he was just a hustler that bet everything he had on one game and wanted me to front his next bet.

I just ignored him after that until he told some girl from Missouri he was Italian. I'm Italian so I was gonna bust his ass about it but my daughter called him a liar lol.

Just looking out for you guys. I have his name,number and picture if any of you have been ripped off

Ok back to lurking

I'm drunk and didn't want to start my own thread and everyone reads Golds threads.

No worries. We're all drunk at this hour.

[Art Vandelay]

For some reason ESPN is shoving Jemele Hill down our throats -- She was a guest on 3-4 shows for awhile and now has her own gig with Michael Smith every night which is unwatchable! She must work cheap while the pros like Bucci get the boot... Just a a brutal product right now. I cringe when the NBA is on ESPN - TNT so much better. Thank God the 4-letter doesn't have hockey anymore!

[GoBlue77]

worthless moderators like Molly aka Jalen Rose's woman. bah bye

[Ralphie Halves]

I like John Buccigross for his knowledge and REM references.

I do not like John Buccigross for giving himself the nickname Bucci Mane. Let's take an awful rapper and name yourself after him. Doosh.

[TheMoneyShot]

Just think if you worked for ESPN at the moment... everyone always wants a raise... and to feel important for the company they work for. Everyone wants to move up in the rankings as well. Clearly, there is no room for raises at ESPN. It seems like everyone who's working for the company currently have decided on settling. People who've left realized their full potential elsewhere... and longevity.

Man... I wouldn't want to be in those shoes. Literally... they have you by the balls.

[jjgold]

The TV business and entertainment business not as lucrative profit wise now

Salaries have to be cut

[thetrinity]

Hope the whole network goes under one good show on there

[jjgold]

what is funny is ghetto people do not even watch espn or have it and most of network made up of that now

[stevenash]

No worries. We're all drunk at this hour.

I don't trust anybody who isn't drunk that hour.

[Mr KLC]

If I want sports talk, I go to IHeart Radio. Lots of choices all over the country for free. I get all of the sports packages (NHL, MLB, NBA, MILB, and MLS). Only time I have a need for ESPN is if they have a live game on or a decent "30 for 30". Why sit down and watch these guys talk their jibberish, when I can walk all over the house with my phone and listen to whoever I want to?

[turkkatarian]

In the middle of an Oreo. You got the right stuff

[Snowball]

Notice how they are keeping Greenberg and Kellerman.

Of course.

[jjgold]

I use tunein radio similar to Iheart but have to pay if you want all of it

I don't even know who watches talk shows on television anymore it has nothing to do with sports most of the time

Yep,Walt Disney knew how the game worked back in the day.

Of course.

Kellerman know theirs a smarmy prick for you.

[Foxx]

cockaratioin

If you google cockaratioin, this thread is the only hit on the internet. He made up a new letter combination.

Need to add that to the urban dictionary, I think SBR members have already added a few others, we are rewriting the english language up in here

[stevenash]

Golic and Greeny used to be a good listen.
Now they both sound like they don't give a shit.

[Foxx]

If you google it, you only get 1 word hit, this thread. If you go to images, 3 posters avatars come up: RalphieHalves, Mac..., and another. Strange.
