Max "Cliff" Kellerman might be out too? Wow

 

[TheRainMaker]

They have too many analysts and too many shows. It's a good move.

McGinest was not recently fired by ESPN.

 

[BadMoFo]

in the end, only chrome dome Scott Van Pelt will be left

 

[IcyPatriot]

Nink is excellent.

 

[Joker]

Van Pelt is an unfunny punk...must have pictures on somebody high up the food chain at FESPN

Wow, you are really not too bright.

Willie worked for NFL Network and he got himself fired.

 

[Guts]

They gotta be able to afford the Pat McAfee Show

 

[scott99]

Not for nothing, but not a big loss for ESPN. Ninko was average at best.

A comment of being older aged ... ugh
I remember when sports fans would eagerly turn ESPN on in the morning.

Disney is slashin 'n gashin

It's been a tough last couple of years for Disney and its various companies.

 

[AQPE]

Clearly Mortenson is paying them to stay.

Good. Years of pandering has caught up to them.

SportsCenter for me every morning before school and every night before bed. It was appointment television. That was a long time ago. Now it’s just the Scott Van Pelt show.

 

[captain stone]

Nink is excellent.

He is... But excellence is a quality not particularly high on the 4-letter network's list of traits they seek in their on-air "talent."

 

[captain stone]

It's been a tough last couple of years for Disney and its various companies.

It hasn't helped that their Marvel "product" absolutely sucks now.
