Damn, this is giving me WWE 2021 flashbacks. Jalen Rose is the most surprising one to me, because his wife works there. (But maybe not for long...?) Him and Molly are divorced He's dating Angela Rye who works with ESPN off and on

I don't feel bad about wishing they'd fire Mark Jackson. The Lakers get eliminated and dude just shuts up the whole rest of the playoffs. Sounded like he didn't even want to be there. I barely even knew he was present until he'd randomly just say "there was contact" on an instant replay.

I don't like to see people losing their jobs. However I'll make an exception with Jalen Rose. One of the dumbest people on ESPN, and that's saying something.

Keyshawn's out, and Suzy kobler might be next. Disney makes so much money. Why are they even cutting people? ESPN drastically overpaid for games rights and negotiated bad deals naturally those who made the decisions to make these deals have not been let go

Those NFL rights fees are going to bankrupt all of the networks eventually.

Those NFL rights fees are going to bankrupt all of the networks eventually. I looked it up and they're reportedly paying near $45 billion for exclusive rights all total for the next few years. They're paying $1.4 billion alone for one season of the NBA, they're paying half a billion for the college football playoff. And not the new CFP that will have 12 teams, the 4 team CFP. That kind of bonkers spending caught up with them big time.

And the worst part is, they paid all that money for the NFL just to get saddled with the worst Monday night football games year after year, and now Thursday night can have games flexed into it.

and Mark Jackson still has a job?
Does he have a Big Show IRONCLAD CONTRACT or is he related to Walt Disney?

Truth be told, I only learned about this from FlemLoRap's recent video on the whole subject. Granted, I haven't watched ESPN since the mid-2010s, but this honestly caught me by surprise.

And yet Stephen A. Jackass is still employed. He's one of the few that gets ratings for ESPN, so despite what he's said they'll keep him around.

But they have enough to pay Greenberg to barely be on his own show. Mike Greenberg's success at that company tells me one of two things: either he is a world class ass-kisser or he is the nephew of someone much more important. Those are the only two possible explanations. He’s super close with several of the big bosses at espn. He sucks up to the right people. He’s probably WCW era Tony Schiavone’s hero as he tried the same thing but was way less successful due to constant management changes it’s why Tony had such a bad rep back then he was a total stooge but really didn’t benefit from it.

I want to like Acho, but he always seems that he's about to ask me to give him money for his ministry so he can buy a private jet.
