ESPN pay cuts?

I can't get over how many SportsCenter hosts they have and why the network does the LA show.

And does Hannah Storm not age? Kornheiser got in trouble for talking about her almost, what, 20 years ago and she is still stunning.

 

I can’t really take seriously a person who answers to Booger.

 

I’d like to see a series about Ben Franklin especially when he was old and horny in Europe raising a not-so-secret second family and attending orgies at the Hellfire Club.

 

There really is a vault of material on historical figures, and making them "relatable" rather than the statues in making that most historical epics portray them as. There is a popular show on the internet about Jesus' life, portraying him as more human - having normal conversations and not everything being some parable or commandment - even laughing at a joke or two.

 

I got to the point where I could stomach listening to Booger. He seemed to be the same as the obnoxious guy at the end of the bar at every sports bar I've ever been to. An idiot, but harmless.

Much rather listen to him than Tessitore and his smug, self-important, ridiculous bullshit delivery.

 

Relax, baby.

Why ESPN Picked Joe Tessitore to Rebuild Its Relationship With the NFL - The Ringer

 

The situation seems far worse than many think

I've always thought ESPN does a cruddy job negotiating TV deals - often negotiating against itself. There is probably a couple of hundred million in profits in rights deals they didn't have to spend that much on.

 

If I’ve got a giant sportsball league, why do I want to trade in giant checks for an equity stake in a business model you’ve just told me is faltering?

 

I still say we burn their fucking network down.

 

Another casualty. https://nypost.com/2023/07/26/bomani-jones-wont-have-his-espn-contract-renewed/
