News Article: ESPN layoffs
- Thread starter ALA2262

That's what I noticed too as I began to see who was being let go. Lack of page clicks not so much about viewership. When I look at espn.com I am overwhelmed by the different articles to choose from. I might read 3-4 at the most.

Well darn DK, my heart bleeds for you....Danny Kanell
@dannykanell
Poured my heart and soul into ESPN for last 8 years. Moved my wife and 3 kids to CT to go "all in" 5 years ago. Bummed it ended in 3 minutes

Do not watch ESPN if I can avoid it. Outside of Kanell, McMurphy, Len Elmore and Dottie Pepper, I have never seen or read anything by these people.
i think they make money off of corporate box seats and season ticket holders. it is way too expensive to go to any kind of professional (or cfb) game these days.
A man with a family to support lost his job, that's hilarious.

He was also smarter than Danny. He really backed off the anti-SEC rants that he used to do. I can actually stand to listen to Galloway now.
He could probably have a pick of jobs if it ever came up. I could really see him in an Athletic Director role one day.
CNN, Fox News, and others have done well copying the ESPN format over the last decade. I wouldn't bet on two people arguing over news items to disappear.
Thought he and Herb did a decent job on the field reporting at the A Day game.
I just saw where they whacked Dr. Jerry Punch, gotta love it when the VP's at ESPN get shown the door in another few months. Jerry will wind up on FOX on NBC doing races. IMHO he was best doing NASCAR. I havent watched ESPN since the National Championship game. Sure wish I could get a 6 month satellite package so I dont pay for crap I dont ever watch.
I just got ATT fiber. I have a 1 year contract on the bundle. I have a Fire TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime TV. I'm seriously considering singing up for PlayStation Vue and dropping TV service after the 1 year bundle is up. I get everything I want to watch for $35/mo.
The answer to this rhetorical question depends upon what incident you view as the Montreal Screwjob OR which one you view as Russo's rant on Hogan at Bash at the Beach 2000.
Not that I know much about it or anything....
As far as Kanell, basic human decency won't let me cheer his loss of job by any means. By the same token, I'm secretly glad he won't be there for the FSU-Bama pregame coverage and bloviating like he does - and not to rip on him but most folks don't make ANYWHERE near the salary he made there for as little as is actually involved with the job.....he gives an OPINION. That's literally it.
I do hope for his family's sake that he finds something good, but I also hope he has planned ahead for something just such as this. There's less excuse for someone like him to do that than for the daily blue collar guy making ends meet but that's all.

My boys want to go to a Texas Rangers game. My sister lives in the area and she sent me ticket prices. It would cost us dang near an arm and a leg to go. And that's just taking two of my boys. Lord knows how much it would be if I took all of them.
On that topic, I can't get ESPN or any other streaming service to work with Google Chrome. I can do Netflix or Hulu just fine but those of course are apps. These other services just won't work well at all:

Yeah baseball used to be affordable for anyone who wanted to take in a game but not so much anymore. It's really gotten crazy.
