More Cuts at ESPN

Add anchor Sara Walsh, freshly returning from maternity leave:

 

I was laid off today by ESPN (Earn Sparingly Pennies From Nowhere)... and I never worked there. Those f---in rascals.

 

Not mentioned on the thread yet.
Titts McHenry got her papers.

 

I feel like making a sexist comment here just to piss off SnarfSnarf.

 

Ah....did not see.
I shall now dip my toe in the lake of fail.

 

Do it!

 

I read that Marc Stein has more than three years left on his contract at 600K per year. I think Marc Stein was a very good guest on The Lowe Post and I am sure that he is very good at his job. I liked his work on breaking stories. But I would think that ESPN could have hired a really good NBA writer from a local paper and paid him 150-200K and gotten about the same results. Salaries have seemed to have gotten really out of hand in print at ESPN.

Also, I read Lowe signed a contract for 1.2 million a year. But Lowe has a podcast that he does twice a week in the season and I think once a week in the off season for a total of 80 times a year. Do audio podcasts, even highly rated ones, clear 15K an hour in advertising revenue?

 

That would take too much courage.

 

I'm sure he has many hot takes on that uppity Cassius Clay too.

 

Anything's possible, but $600K for Marc Stein? Not sure I believe it.
