ESPN layoffs

[Untouchables96]

Hopefully the first of many we don't like. Ed Werder also has been laid off.

Link? I don't see that anywhere. Not saying it's not true, I just can't find anything on it

 

[MWes11]

Ed Werder out I saw. Didn't see Goodman.

 

[CatCall]

Would be interesting to see a list but it will likely come out in dribs and drabs.

 

[Untouchables96]

Received my call. Laid off effective immediately. I love what I do and I will continue. Tough day for many with ESPN layoffs. Thx to all.

From his Twitter, sorry at work having issues.

 

[morgousky]

was just reading where Goodman signed with the show Stranger Things as creature.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Ed Werder out I saw. Didn't see Goodman.

So, now ESPN is down to 3,549,443 NFL pundits huh?

 

[ThwKentuckyKid]

I'm not seeing this anywhere else.

 

[Kats23]

Richard Deitsch with SI apparently knows who is going to get the calls and who isn't when it comes to the big time on air people but says he's not going to reveal and let them announce on their own. According to his facebook page yesterday, anyway.

Gonna be more........ESPN is clearing house

 

[UK90]

Hopefully the first of many we don't like.

Out of curiosity, who DO we like?

Our fans have put so many people on the UK Enemies List over the years that I'm genuinely unsure who's left.

ESPN will cut more than 100 employees today, Yahoo Finance has learned.

It has been widely reported for weeks that big cuts are coming to ESPN—so widely reported, and dissected, and gossiped about, in fact, that ESPN moved up its schedule and is notifying people earlier than it originally planned.

The 100 people getting cut are all “on-air talent,” a label ESPN uses for TV personalities, radio hosts, and writers who regularly appear on TV and radio. (ESPN says it has 1,000 such people, prior to these cuts.)

Hopefully all the biased against Kentucky ones get their walking papers.

 

[MWes11]

Edit the title. I see nothing stating Goodman is out.

You are literally just making this up. That's not on his twitter page.

Fake news.

I didn't realize we had an ESPN employee posting on here. Sorry about you losing your job. I know that must be tough.

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

I have a very hard time hoping anyone loses their job. I've been there before, not fun.

Someone fell for the fake Jeff Goodman twitter page again? Don't worry, so did Bleacher Report

 

[Untouchables96]

Sorry my bad, it was in a stream of Twitter feeds and I didn't go directly to his feed to see if it was really him or not.

 

[macaca]

Dana O'Neil gone, can't say I'm sorry for the Cal hater

 

[WeWant9]

[laughing] Whoever is running that account has gotten a ton of people.

 

[ThwKentuckyKid]

Sorry my bad

No problem, it happens we all can still hope though.

 

[bluedog79]

every duke guy will keep his job lol

 

[BBUK_anon]

I don't wish bad on anyone but if you don't do your job then...

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

I don't wish bad on anyone but if you don't do your job then...

These people aren't being fired, they are being laid off. It's a changing industry and ESPN has accelerated their decline with their left wing, political nonsense.

 

[BlueBomb]

This has nothing to do with them doing a good job or not. It's just diminishing revenue...so expense cuts needed to offset.

Hate to see anyone lose their job for something other than performance.

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Hopefully all the biased against Kentucky ones get their walking papers.

Doesn't matter. Fans would accuse the next in line to be Uk biased.

John Skipper should do the right thing and terminate himself.

 

[MWes11]

Pierre Lebrun out. Hockey guy apparently.

Joe McDonald out.

Scott Burnside out.

John Buccigross out.

Brett McMurphy out.

 

[morgousky]

Please fall on your face on the way out.

 

[mrdavisanddd]

Good

 

[MWes11]

Already in the ESPN layoffs thread.

 

[Big John Stud]

Hopefully the first of many we don't like. Ed Werder also has been laid off.

Yay, a bunch of people lost their jobs. This is so awesome. WTF is wrong with you people?

 

[CatsnRoses]

Already in the ESPN layoffs thread.

Figured this deserved its own thread.

 

[seccats04]

They have to make cuts somewhere since ESPN and John Skipper have been funding UNC's legal defense [sick]

 

[Me and Rex]

Please tell me they layoff the SportsCenter duo... That was a terrible idea

 

[JasonS.]

One of the best IMO. She'll catch on pretty quickly I'd guess.

Interesting day at the WWL fo sho.

Maybe they can clear enough to shut the whole network down except for the NFL of course. I mean isn't that their goal anyway? To compete with the NFL network and maintain rights?

Haven't watched the NFL in two years. Totally unbearable
