More Cuts at ESPN

Really?? I might actually be down with that. I think I signed up for Pluto the day before the pandemic shut everything down so I could live bet Big Sky men's basketball tournament.

 

Think the WWL just learned what Larry Scott learned the hard way. Don't eff with Canzano.

 

They also have classic MLB games. Went to bed two nights ago watching Mariners/Yankees 1995 ALDS game 5.

 

It was Northern Arizona and Weber State in a 7-10 play-in. Competition problem.

 

After the game Buck and his wife met on the way to the bus, crying. They knew it was the end for him in NY.

 

Not ESPN but of note.

Tappen was a post-game host for NESN programming (Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics) before NBC, and I always found her to be pretty solid. I have no idea how network pay structures work - Is sideline reporter much of a "bump" in status or pay from the hosting role she's currently in? I'd rather be a host than asking two questions to coaches before halftime and providing injury updates.

 

Always liked Tappen; never liked Tafoya.

 

Tappen was terrific as a host on the NHL Network.

 

What's Jeremy Roenick think of the move?

 

Tafoya's good, Tappen's good.
