ESPN pay cuts?

Conducting an interview?

 

Completely unlikely but that wasn’t the question.

 

How far away are the servers from the next SpaceX launch?

 

I liked the sports coverage at 538. The election coverage (and Nate's takes on the election) has gone from the standard bearer to a fucking abomination over the last three presidential election cycles. And yet I'm sure it'll somehow get worse now that he's gone, if only b/c the faux earnestness won't be there.

 

Damn good

Absolutely spectacular that Curtis mentions Bill Simmons first among the 30 staffers to exit ESPN over the last decade. What a fucking twit. (Simmons, not Curtis)

 

They laid off Mike Soltys?!?!?! :O

 

I can't say I watch ESPN to see any one personality - and I never have. The names that are left are content drivers, they say stuff and the rest of the shows knock it around for the rest of the day.

 

Was it?

 

It was, aside from the currying favor with Simmons part. Did a terrific job of explaining how ESPN has morphed into the establishment you only endure when you have to.

 

Pablo Torre is gone?
