".....Multiple sources inside and outside of ESPN tell The Big Lead that the network will be laying off “200 to 300” employees in the coming months.

These are the first ESPN layoffs since 2013, and might not be the last, as Disney has notified ESPN to trim $100 million from the 2016 budget and $250 million in 2017......"

Is Mark Brunell one? Get the tissues out.

 

[Wordsmyth]

Cris Carter will have his fall guy replace him.

 

[Joey007]

In seriousness though, one should be Mort. Let Schefter be the one who reports all stories. Yknow, actually have a credible source.

 

[ReverendMaynard]

Hard to be happy if it's just working joes losing their jobs. If it's the on-air "talent"...

Woo Hoo!!!

Mort, Brunell is a good start.

 

[Deus Irae]

I feel bad for the peasants. We can be reasonably sure that high management will cover their own asses.

 

[farn]

It'll be Dilfer, Bruschi... all those pats homers !

They plan to outsource much of the work to inexpensive Chinese and Mexican sportscasters. Translations will scroll at the bottom of the screen.

He's invested wisely. He'll be okay.

 

[Deus Irae]

I'd like FoxSportsOne become a legitimate rival to ESPN, so I'd love to see that station grab some of the talent that gets cut, assuming any of it actually does (I'd love to see Schefter head over, but that's a pipe dream).

All your base are belong to us

I hate ESPN, but I never want to see something like this. Unfortunately, most of the people laid off will be behind the scenes workers who don't make high six to seven figures as on air talent.

 

[RayClay]

What a shame. the fuerhers propaganda team might be getting restless. And that huge media contract krafty stuck them with...

 

[RayClay]

For the record, i don't want to see anyone getting fired...Except goodell, Kensil, Pash, etc.

Even Mort is just...well

I'd prefer it to what we have now

 

[RobertWeathers]

I just pray Lester Munson gets a good severance package.

Based on life experiences. the people you want to stick it too get away and the subordinates suffer.
