Layoffs at ESPN

Literally anything Disney touches they fuck up. Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, everything. Hope them bitches go bankrupt, they literally have no clue how to manage anything. Does Jay Zygmunt run them? Lol

Their ESPN content has been shit for a long long time, about time they got rid of mental midgets like Keyshawn need to others like Stephen A (does jackass Dilfer still work for them?). It’s sad, I used to like watching ESPN, it was informative and/or entertaining at one point.

I used to like it too. I rarely watch it.

I think if you're one of these guys who got laid off and you have the ability to put out good content ESPN may have done you a favor. Because things are definitely trending to personalities and content over the label.

Plus ESPNs content has sucked ass for years now. If I'm Todd McShay for example I'd be setting up my shit on twitter and youtube and do my own thing with the inevitable cameos with Kiper during the draft season.

You're not wrong.. Interestingly enough, ESPN just signed Pat McAfee to a lucrative deal to bring his show under their label. I was kind of surprised he took the deal actually...

I’m sure you are very good at, and have been successful in your chosen career. However, I am guessing it was not Human Resources.

I somehow think that Keyshawn is going to end up with Bayless on Fox. The new Undisputed lineup.

Can we not with the Disney takes?

I mean, it’s abundantly clear that SOME folks are chomping at the bit to bring yet another culture war issue into this football forum and then why?

I won’t go into why the Disney cracks are an invitation for conflict about certain issues (this one is not only very close to my heart, but not one I’ll back down from even an inch and also not for a single second) just like the Bud Light cracks were about those same issues.

It’s entry level dogwhistling and it’s not cute or clever.

Can we keep it about football? Please?

I ask this not because I’m incapable of conversation or debate, but because this isn’t the venue for that.

We have an exciting season of Rams football coming up. That should be plenty for this venue.

It's so obvious and it's not even funny.

It's almost like when the word "Disney" comes up...it's like a trig...

Nah. Not going there.

Besides Disney had espn since the 90s, and now with layoffs and equating the two is ridiculous. What about those 30 years? Lol

No shit? I’m sad to hear that, but I’m sure it’s hard to turn down guaranteed money.

It sucks because then other people are going to get involved and ruin what made the show successful in the first place.

I dunno, any idiot can produce their own content these days and many do. Maintaining a following is probably easier when you have a network behind you.

Woulda never guessed Suzy Kolber is 59 years old. She carries it well.

 

[Corbin]

j/k

I fucking love that movie!

 

[Ram65]

I really liked Suzy Kolber back in 1999 on Edge NFL Matchup. She has had a good long career.

So glad I can watch Ram games on the internet and long Dodger highlights on YouTube.

Suits ruin everything.

Oh great - 2 Ram haters

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.

I don't like to see anyone lose their job, but I often find it funny when these somewhat celebrities, experience layoffs at their networks, whether it they are gone or their colleagues lose their job, they act like it's a tragic event that only they have to deal with.

The avg person deals with these job pressures and situations all the time and don't have million dollar contracts to soften the blow.

Suits ruin everything.

No doubt. The censoring will start right away with that show. They'll frown on f bombs and begin the process of leaching the natural feel that made the show so damn good in the first place.

Pat will end up regretting taking the money from ESPN. And again I think the electronic media marketplace is changing so rapidly that it won't be much longer until the overarching companies like ESPN are superseded by personalities on these social media platforms. Number of follows and views will drive everything and that is already flipping the old media applecart on its head.

I’m thinking this all gets weird if Disney animated characters start filling in at ESPN for the fired staff, ala Roger Rabbit.

Yeah, but what about Jessica Rabbit

i haven't watched any of his videos for maybe a year. they're all over the place in their takes, there's no cohesion at all in their segments. i just got bored listening to them babble on and not finishing points brought up. not a fan at all.

are they better than the other garbage on the net, probably. but still unwatchable.

Jessica Rabbit: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
