John Clayton out at ESPN

[Ricky Spanish]

Probably moving back into his mom's basement.

For real though, that sucks, I can't remember him not being on ESPN reporting on Football. 

[Cary Kollins]

MAAA, I'M DONE WITH MY SEGMENT!!

 

Probably the best ESPN commercial ever.

 

I always liked John, he'll land on his feet somewhere.

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....

How old is he? This might be a nudge into retirement more than anything

[2jakefansinva]

Did Scotty beam him up ?

That would be awesome actually

Damn, he's only 63?  Yeesh.

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

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.

[dave-o]

He has a face for radio....

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.

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.
