Skip Bayless will be done at ESPN

[GretnaShawn]

After the NBA finals. The loss of viewers/subscriptions seems to have woken ESPN up some.

Dan Libatard still has a job there? Weird.

R&K are really growing on me, those guys work well with each other and of course Wilbon and Cornhole also kick ***. M&M in the AM is also very good. ESPN is by far my favorite network.

LeBatard show today was mentioning Nebraska. Pretty hilarious conversation, and were essentially making fun of us, but we got some airtime.

Did he immediately follow it with a political segment highlighting an injustice somewhere against a minority?

Or references to Cuba and how Miami should decide the politics for Cuba - not DC.........dude is a little wrapped up in his little Havana world.

I dvr Lebatard show so I can watch it when I get home...so good

I decided to cut the cord once ESPN decided to give someone a courage award for having a sex change. I had held onto cable for sports, but that award was basically the moment I realized I didn't want to keep supporting ESPN. I have nothing against Jenner, or anybody who has a sex change, I just don't consider it a heroic act, and it disappointed me that a "sports entertainment" network decided to start pushing a political agenda.

 

[Blackshirt316]

Seems less about ESPN "waking up" and more about FS1 giving him $5M a year.

Why Fox thinks guys like Cowherd and Bayless are worth that kind of cash I have no idea.

 

[SPbObRT]

Bayless=idiot and loser. He sucks

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Guys lets keep the politics out of this, you racists.

 

[HuskerOH_rivals315145]

Now if they can get rid of Steven A Smith, that would be a HUGE improvement

This sounds like good bye SC... Where you going?

 

[sparky4986]

Now it looks like Nesler is leaving for CBS. ESPN, is starting to hemorrhage.

I heard Tirico is leaving for NBC also.

Heard the same thing.

Yesterday they said he was going to do Thursday night football.

 

[HuskAir]

Ugh... I actually enjoy Skip/Stephen A going back and forth...

 

[huskerfan1414]

When I watch sports or sports discussion, I want to watch sports and get a release. For some reason ESPN and anchors decided what they were doing wasn't important enough and have gone full Political agenda mode. I don't watch anymore because if that's what I want I can flip to Cnn or Fox News. I used to watch ESPN all the time but it seems sports are now the back story and I watch other sports channels much more unless a football game is on. It's sad, really.

I think we live very different lives.

He's going where all Libturds go when you flush.... Odds are he's a Floater.

I'm not worth 5 Mil?

 

[leodisflowers]

Jamele Hill makes me want to attempt to cut my fingers off with a spoon.

 

[jimbosc]

ESPN is getting hit by a revenue crunch as cable TV erodes and with many content contracts in place they overpaid to get. People is the first place to cut - both on air but also all the staff too. They have been cutting for the last 2 years - these are people jumping ship to keep getting paid when ESPN low balled them during contact talks.

Well, it's not really that sad.

 

[lionheartlvk]

Read Skip is headed to FS1. Can't wait for the moment when/if he and Aikman have to share the same screen. Going to be awkward.

 

[SPbObRT]

Steven A can go too
