John Clayton out at ESPN


Recommended Posts

I don't even have have cable anymore. Nothing. I'm thinking about getting an antenna for local sh!t, maybe some MYTV. Is that still a thing? 

Will ESPN be going back to 8hrs on, 16hrs repeat? man....The NBA might have to go to a best of 9 games....

espn sucks and has for a long time. he was one of the few redeeming commodities.

they got into too many political/social discussions in addition to just showing too much bias towards certain organizations.

it sucks that clayton lost his job like so many other good reporters they cut loose, but hopefully they will go somewhere that actually focuses on just good honest sports talk with no desire to get into social/political conversations.

sports should be an escape from all the turmoil in the world, not just another voice in the noise.

This (espn layoffs in general) is what happens when you let politics in to a sports channel. I'm glad they are having issues after pushing their political views and firing people because of their opposing political views.

I don't watch ESPN unless there is an actual game on anyway. The rest of it is pure garbage.

This. I have no idea why anyone would watch anything on ESPN other than live sports. Their programming consists almost entirely of shows where shameless idiots yell at each other. It's kinda like the Huddle, only televised.

    • Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water.  And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.   
    • 1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me. 
    • Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play.
