Brad Nessler has left ESPN for CBS and will eventually replace the network's SEC play-by-play broadcaster Verne Lundquist, according to a tweet from Foxsports.com's Clay Travis.

Nessler, 59, will do NFL games for CBS until taking over for Lundquist, 75, who has called SEC games since 2000.

whats going on at ESPN. Mass exodus.

Overpaid for rights fees trying to put competitors out of business and misforecasted that cable subscribers and carriage fees were going to increase when they have decreased. They are pretty massively in the red and have been cutting costs significantly the last few months.

I tried watching ESPN this morning for the first time in a long time.  I don't think I made it 5 minutes.  They were showing some 13-year old kid who did a science project on why Tom Brady is innocent when it comes to deflategate.  Like what?

Yeah, saw that also... Why they think crap like this is entertaining is beyond me.

I'm guessing there are only a select handful of people who they won't get rid of regardless of how much they get paid 

namely Mike and Mike, SVP, and Chris Berman

almost everyone else is expendable to them I'm guessing

Two days ago Tirico would have been on that list. He did absolutely everything for them. If another company offers those guys more money and there is a directive from Disney, their parent company, that they can only pay people a certain amount then those guys could be gone as well. Bayless made them a lot of money and they couldn't match Fox's offer.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.

      We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
