More Cuts at ESPN

They put a lot of stuff on Peacock. But unless you are "doing" an in-house fantasy platform - I don't see the point either.

Thinking about it, it makes even less sense. NBC's main NFL coverage airs later in the day. Would they add a pre-noon pregame show like the other networks to take advantage of actually being able to use Berry? Using him on Peacock, I mean, sure, go ahead. Not really a step up for Berry, tho.

 

I saw that. Schefter with an all-time d-bag response. You really gonna quibble about anonymous sources, Schefty?

 

But he has extreme value as an info guy.

For those of us who have been here for a while, it wasn't that long ago when he was covering the Broncos for the Post. Now he's making $9 million. Cheer for the guy.

 

Whoring can pay well. Three cheers!

 

This fucking guy.

“I want you to get what you need,” he told the photographer. “I hope I never f---ing see them. I don’t need any more attention.”

 

ESPN loves people who "drive" content, say something, report something that can carry web traffic and the TV and radio talk fests for a cycle or two. SAS, Kendrick Perkins, Schefter, Woj - THAT is their value.

 

Never used a company phone for this very reason. My absolute nightmare…also, for you young journalists out there, keep a hard copy/word document/spreadsheet of your contacts somewhere safe and take time to update it every six months or so.

 

Definitely keep a hard copy somewhere. Home, travel bag, vehicle. Backups are helpful.

All of us Olds on here likely had a Rolodex or two, perhaps one for home and office, with every name, address and possible number on them for contacts. Home, office, hangouts, friends, some likely had the number of a guy's "niece" or "cousin from Kansas" on there. Whatever it was, whatever the number, you kept it. Unless the number was disconnnected you didn't scratch it out or remove it.

My last gig, I had a card file and a notebook with names-addresses-numbers printed out. Had a second notebook for home and travel. Threw them away recently because most of the people in there are dead or retired.

Losing those would've sucked.
