I never want to be glad someone lost their job, but I’m glad Jackson and Van Gundy won’t be doing NBA games together—super negative, not-fun vibe everytime they do a game.

Yesterday, I had read about Van Gundy but had not seen Breen or Jackson until now.

Don't like to see people lose their jobs (unless they are inept and/or corrupt) but I will make an exception for Keyshawn Johnson. Also hope that among those people let go was the person who hired Keyshawn Johnson.

Sucks about Suzy she's been great for a long time. But I listened to that Max and Key radio show once for about 3 minutes and never turned the radio to that channel again. Looks like more and more problems with money for the Disney family though with these layoffs

I enjoy her work. She is great friends with Rich Eisen and so maybe she could pair with him again, somehow?

Disney stock has been absolutely hammered. It's a reminder how brutal corporations are and how they can't
care about the individuals, only the bottom line. Full discloser, yes, I do have some stock.

Could be added at NFLN or wait was his time up there? I forget but thought I heard something about that with him.

Shrugs. Most of those are tv personalities who don't know much about actual sports. Sans Steve Young

I am a Suzy fan too, really thought she conducted herself above reproach with the Joe Namath incident. Never listened to Keyshawn & Max I have Sirius and listened to Mad dog sports as I like Adam Schein, Lance Medow and yes Chris Russo.

Overall the Todd McShay layoff shocks me the most, but as you so eloquently communicated, the Disney Family is hemorrhaging money and appears to be reshaping their organization.

Although Keyshawn was an LA homer that didn’t really translate to the Rams. I couldn’t listen to him on the radio or watch him on tv, he was going to say something stupid it was only a matter of time. Hopefully JWill is on that list as well.

KeShawn is terrible. He’s as bad as Michael Irvin or Sam Acho.

I sensed an arrogance, plus a lack of respect towards others. IMO, Johnson thought his views were beyond reproach. Making matters even worse, he struck me as a commentator that did not put in any work but thought his playing experience made him "all-knowing".

@Elmgrovegnome mentioned Michael Irvin above. I always got that same feeling about Irvin being someone who did Not put-in-the-work.

Kolber won't be out of work for long.
She does a fantastic job.

Keyshawn, on the other hand, needs to stay fired.

ESPN sucks. The problem is the the content not the talking heads directed to talk about it.


Disney really sucks. Ruining everything in their path to media dominance.

I miss 20th Century Fox studios.
