    This is the beginning of the end for ESPN folks. Jayson Stark is one of the best baseball guys on all of TV and he got canned too.

    I forgot about Dan. Only caught a few of his shows from that sweet home office setup.

    Thanks for that link.

    So far, a decent mix of people. A lot of "whiteys", but that was, believe it or not, the majority of their on-air staff.

    Kanell not taking it well, LOL. Not laughing AT him, just funny how he didn't follow the "I'm so grateful for the opportunity" template the others did.

    Let's start our own network, SBR NETWORK!

    Up to the minute odds, lineup changes, injuries and such. If betting on pro sports ever goes nationwide you know it would be one of the top networks anywhere. Information on every sport you could possibly bet on from Euro soccer leagues to Japanese baseball.

    Almost all sports shows are geared to this anyway

    I hated listening to Kanell. Too biased for my liking. I think announcers should be a little bit unbiased.

    That said, I hate to hear of anyone losing their jobs, especially put out in the public like this. I don't know many of the people on the list but my heart goes out to them and their families in this difficult time.

    Ironically, I spent most of the day today working with military vets on preparing themselves for corporate America after serving decades for our country. It is very scary to have to go out and find a job. It's sad that these men and woman put their lives on the line for us and we do not have jobs lined up for them.

    They should fire all the halftime sideline chicks. The stupid questions they ask they ask the coaches are always the same. They contribute nothing and are just on air for 30 seconds a game. Most are not even that cute.

    Here's a great summation of the cuts from Deadspin:

    "And that’s the truly tragic thing about today’s layoffs, that those who lost their jobs were essentially symbolic sacrifices. ESPN may have bought itself a little more slack from investors today, but its future remains just as uncertain as it was yesterday. Meanwhile, good writers and reporters like Doug Padilla, Mike Goodman, Ethan Sherwood Strauss, and many others—people who were not on million-dollar contracts but nevertheless did quality work on important beats, providing the depth and texture that make the network something more than just a lot of branded content and screaming dullards—are jobless. A lot of good people lost their jobs today, and ESPN got a lot worse, and all of it was probably for no good reason."

    Basically just symbolic bullshit. All these small salaries combined wouldn't dent the huge rights fees they pay and now they've lost some of their best reporters and writers...
