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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
