The Van Gundy bros on the same broadcast sniping at each other could be great TV.

I saw Neil Everett was being let go. It wouldn’t shock me if Stan Verette (his late night SC partner) was axed as well.


I really liked that combo.

So who’s gonna do First Take with Stephen A? Or was Kellerman already not doing that anymore?

Kellerman’s been gone for a while. They rotate guests at the moment.

who thought Buck was in trouble.



I don't think he's in trouble. I don't think any of the guys mentioned (SAS,SVP, JB) are being fired. I just want to see evidence it would matter if SAS or JB were fired.

MNF is less successful than it should be because it is on ESPN. Buck and Aikman are better than some crews but we're decades past the Madden and Summerall era. We're more in the Jay Glazer on Twitter and Instagram media era.

ESPN is neither respectable enough to carry traditional media credibility nor modern enough to compete culturally.

Told the mouse wasn't fricking around.

They will continue cutting

ESPN will look like a new network in about 2+3 years with new announcers

No Perkins, Jason Williams or Ryan Clark list is incomplete, this wasn't about talent.

Mark Jackson is conspicuously absent as well but wouldn't want him to lose his MVP vote.

Hadn't watched Sports Center since the NBA and NHL playoffs were on, and they'd have SVP interviewing players after games on ESPN. Watched some of the earlier ones during the CWS. Other than SVP, most of the people on Sports Center are cringe worthy.

Was anyone aware John Anderson was still with ESPN? Saw him on some random event not long ago. Maybe SEC track and field.

LaPhonso Ellis out. That's too bad. I liked him.
