Deadspin: ESPN laying off hundreds today

Wow... Unleash the hounds...

 

Deadspin may go out of business now.

 

He should take a video of himself cleaning out that office...

Lynn has always been nice to me and he gave a few of my close friends their career breaks, but the only thing surprising about this is that, it took this for him to be shown the door.

The last two years or so have not been good to Hoppes.

It will be very interesting to see where he winds up.

 

Head of Poynter.

 

I hope Sarah Phillips' job is safe.

 

Not you Mizzou, but some people are celebrating Hoppes losing his gig. He might have sucked at his job but losing a gig is tough. My heart goes out to him and everyone else who got the call from the turk.

 

Hoppes will wind up somewhere, because someone will want to hire a "name" without caring about his rep ... my guess (and I have no evidence to back this up) -- Huffington Post ...

 

I don't lose any sleep over plagiarizers losing their jobs. The work comes first.

 

Hoppes is a good plagiarist and an even better copier.

 

Do you really think Berman is relevant still? I can't imagine anyone would lose an ounce sleep if his schtick went away tomorrow.

 

Drip's heart would go out to him, though.

 

It may takes months for Hoppes to clean out his office of all the swag.
