Judgement Day at ESPN

[Stoney Mason]

Outside of the NBA, I barely watch any sports at all at this point but here is a bit of news.

Dan Patrick + the danettes > ESPN

Why would ESPN even have an NHL staff? They pretend the sport doesn't exist anyway.

my favorite part of this is who they promoted:

ESPN promoted executive Marie Donoghue—who oversaw the business unit containing ESPN Films, Grantland, FiveThirtyEight, and The Undefeated—to executive vice president, global business and content strategy.

ESPN Films is p. good tho

The only thing I watch/listen to on ESPN is the Lebatard radio show. There is nothing else I'm really attached to.

A decade ago, it was my most watched network. PTI, Baseball Tonight, Sportscenter, 30 for 30's, etc etc.

Hope those that were let go find another job. Ethan Strauss was the biggest NBA fired today.

I am not sure ESPN knows how to regain the audience they lost.

[Phoenix Dark]

Too bad that coon Sage Steele is still employed.

[Human Snorenado]

Damn, they let Jay Crawford, Jayson Stark, and Trent Dilfer go.

[Great Rumbler]

So ESPN is basically firing everyone who isn't Stephen A Smith or an intern?
