yup....looks like a whole bunch of fall guys. Perhaps they can hire Chris Carter to work for 10 cents an hour?

Don’t have the hate for that network as many people on this board. Having said that : ESPN isn’t one of the companies I even remotely feel bad for during the virus.

I would whittle down their Game Day booths from 8 bloviators to 1 spunky Hostess.
And..... let’s have some costume changes during breaks while viewers are fetching beer, scratching, or talking with bookies.

Since NFL gambling is legal now and the NFL draft was suppose to be in Vegas they should have ESPN2 devoted entirely to draft gambling.

Focus on certain casinos offering long odds on matching players to their ultimate team.

Vegas could recoup lots of lossed money by effectively have a 32 man horse race.

AJ Epenesa to the Pats at 10-1.

Pats trade down 3-2.

Todd McShay has better picks than Mel Kiper 2-1.

Float a little extra tip money to the ****tail waitresses to make bets and watch the jump up and down if they win.

70% ?? Woulda thought it was lower than that. No sports, no entertainment... There's only so many 30 for 30s they can run before people just bail. Lot's of fresh programming on out there. Netfliz, Amazon, You Tube.

Stephen A Smith gets paid $8-10 million? For what?

 

[TheRainMaker]

I’d like to know who actually watches their shows?

I can only tolerate clips on YouTube. No way I can watch a full show on regular TV.

They can save more money by just getting rid of people outright. I don’t know one person that says “I watch this show to see ______”.

Thats about 8-10 mill more than he should be making

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

I guess Rex Ryan maybe shouldn't have trashed Amari Cooper and Geno Smith, as they both will have jobs and Rex won't!!

What a clown, no way he ever coaches in the NFL again, who would play for him?

Stephen A Smith gets paid $8-10 million? For what?

For having naked pictures of Disney execs with various species of live stock.
