Ouch !

I really enjoyed commentary from a lot of them

[Mr. Scot]

Kinda surprised to see them let McShay go.

I know he never really became the heir apparent to Mel Kiper that they wanted him to be, but I still see this as unexpected.

Absolutely glad we won’t see David Pollock on Gameday.  Guy annoyed me to no end

ESPN has been garbage for over a decade.  I would not even care if they ceased to exist because is stopped watching that channel over a decade ago. I have it blocked on my streaming package just to cut down on the channels I have to skip over. Good riddance.

Ya said everything I would have said, and a little extra!

LOL. Asheville traffic is a cakewalk compared to other cities in North Carolina. 

Traffic anywhere in North Carolina is cake walk. 

Far worse states and cities with terrible infrastructure.

If you aren't entertaining or controversial you likely will get fired with the new ESPN.

Watching Vince Carter on ESPN right now.lol

 

Must suck to know you're getting fired after the show.smh

Just so you guys know this is just ESPN getting ready to pay the big bag to Stephen A, Pat McAfee, and Grenny. Those 3 guys are the headliners for ESPN right now. Also wouldn't be shocked if they add Shannon Sharpe pretty soon.

Fwiw, I think a lot of the money that is currently paid out for sports broadcast is unsustainable.  Especially for college sports.  ESPN pays 600 million to show College Football playoffs and a lot more than that to show NFL games.  With ratings dropping, I am not sure this is sustainable over the long run.

So I guess Keyshawn, JWill and Max are done for or just continuing without Keyshawn.

Edit: just saw Max is gone too. I wish it was just him, he is annoying AF. Maybe Jwill has his own show now?

Maybe we can hear about something other than the Lakers now.

They were all flawed. Max, annoying AF. Jwill, too emotional. Keyshawn, too LA centered and can be annoying at times, but the most level headed of the 3.

Jay Williams always get a lighting quick channel turn for me.  His takes are ultra annoying IMO
