Outkick has heard from a variety of different sources that ESPN is cutting up to $100 million in on-air salaries. Yep, on air. This means you're going to know many of the people leaving the network.

ESPN thinks they are ESPN-PC. When they made Finebaum and the others apologize for criticizing Colon Kapernack's sit down I just shook my head. Go ahead, run your customers off. They would lost less if they had let the Colon fans quit ESPN.
The other thing hurting ESPN is the fact that Cable and Satellite keep raising prices and forcing me to purchase over 100 channels I never watch. I got tried of being ripped off four years ago and bought an antenna and Roku box. My wife subscribes to Net Flix and Hulu. Antenna and Roku are paid for. Netflix and Hulu cost us ten dollars each per month. I don't miss those hundred dollar bills at all. As the article points out I can get most of the BIG games over the air and I can keep up with the other on the live updated scoreboards on internet.
I have broken the cord .... and not going back. I hope all the arm twisting, price gouging Cable and Satellites go bankrupt.
