Trent Dilfer is set to leave ESPN; bruh, what's up with the Total Sports Network?

[nctarheel0619]

 

Skip Bayless and Mike Tirico are not the only broadcasters leaving ESPN’s Bristol Campus.

NFL TV sources say Trent Dilfer, one of ESPN’s most engaging NFL analysts and member of the “Monday Countdown” crew, is likely headed out the door. Spies say money is the issue.

And according to published reports, Brad Nessler, one of ESPN’s top college football and basketball play-by-play voices, is headed to CBS to work NFL games.

The speculation is Nessler will eventually succeed Verne Lundquist on CBS’ SEC football package.

Its going to be interesting to hear Nessler do NFL games.

He's apparently going to join the 49ers in an unspecified position.

Nessler and Mayock did the Thursday Night games for several years before CBS bought into the package.

ESPN blew a lot of money on the rights to NBA, NFL and College games with the idea broadcast fees would go up again. well broadcast fees have gone down and ESPN is getting there asses handed to them. they are pretty much willing to let anyone walk thats not mike and mike, berman or SVP.

fug Trent Dildo...that is all.

ESPN is turning into MTV. They sold out their core audience years ago for sensationalism and quick ratings spikes and now they are on the downward spiral.

Spent too much to get games, people are cutting the cord, they let actual talent like Bill Simmons go, they've been TMZ for years now, etc.

 

And to all that I say, good. I always want ESPN to exist, but cut the dumb content out, focus on sports and great stories like the 30 for 30 series and Grantland (which, was Simmons' doing...RIP Grantland), and pay actual talent instead of the Stephen A's and Skip Bayless's of the world for years on years of shitty shows like First Take. I understand they have to feed the mouth-breathing population of the world, but they're shtick has been tired for years.

I changed my opinion of Dilfer when he admitted he was wrong about Cam, watching the Seattle game.

"He hits Olsen three times in tight coverage. He throws a corner route early. He reads blitz and hits the crossing route. I was blown away. I was like, boy was I wrong. I was glad. I don’t mind being wrong. It’s big-time."

Had some other positive Panther comments as well.
