Hannah Storms role will be reduced, Karl Ravech, and Ryan Russillo.  Crazy man.  

What???  Russillo got canned???  I was going to say earlier in the thread that He and Kanell were among my favorites that I hoped they wouldn't mess with...  Their show was honestly probably the only one I could bear to listen to in its entirety and truly enjoy it.  And iirc, Russillo had renewed his contract for several years when they let Skip Bayless go.  If they really let him go, I really have no interest in watching or listening to any of their programming.

Hopefully, my girl Molly Q doesn't get the boot. Hurt me when I found out she was with Jalen.

And I'll say it again; I don't like Sage Steele. If she gets the boot I probably won't shed a tear

She's the official dime of the network no chance. Once you start getting shoutouts from rappers you're vested.

Whatever you may think of ESPN these are still people with families. I have a few friends that work at ESPN and they are terrified right now.

Yup.

I went through a 75% reduction in my old company one day.  3/4's of the workforce I had worked with for years would be gone by 5pm that day.

Awful.  Gave them 15 minutes to gather their things, and were ushered out the front door with a box.  Computers and E-mail was locked down before you even made it to the bosses office.

ESPN is dying because they paid a poo ton for the NBA and people started cutting the cord. they bet on the fact that subs would go up and it tanked. its hard to cry for the network as a whole because they did this to themselves, they are by far the biggest reason your cable bill is so high.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.    
    • Sauls getting cut by Steelers if no trade happens.
    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
