ESPN pay cuts?

I'm not worried about any of them. I'm just saying, there will be a trickle down effect. If the NFL Network or some RSN pick up one of these guys, someone is getting cut.

 

Plus, the Mets were one of the biggest jokes in sports. A startup soaring, crashing and burning is a tale as old as time.

 

Reggie Bush has left Big Noon - replaced by Mark Ingram - purportedly over a contract issue. Bush had to be making the same as Leinart right? Bush had a better pro career and probably a better college career. Quinn probably should be the highest paid of the group, between his other work - an occasional pro game and the radio show.

 

Quinn has been gone from his FSR radio show -- Two Pros and a Cup of Joe -- for quite some time. They say he's coming back, but there's no explanation or timeframe about his absence. Maybe he's allowed to take the summer off.

 

It is odd, considering he does the show from his home in Florida. Not like the kids being home from school would be an issue.

 

I was pretty surprised about McShay getting dumped. As much stock as ESPN puts into the NFL Draft he was a guy that did a lot of writing on ESPN.com during the season and did sideline reporting for college football.

I'm assuming he'll go to FOX, but he'd probably be good at the NFL Network.

 

Steve Young appears weekly on KNBR during the season and is the most thoughtful, engaging guest - hands down the best sports talk radio guest I've ever heard.
While he's not bad on ESPN, that same thoughtful, engaging guest never appeared.

My guess is because his hit on KNBR runs 20-30 minutes. His spots on Countdown are a fraction of that.

 

Oh, I know he's smart and thoughtful - but that has NO PLACE on NFL pre-game shows!

Young finds a new gig quickly. This team will be fun to watch

 

Disney in serious trouble. This would be a shuffling-the-deck-chairs-until-we-figure-out-how-to-pivot move.

The business has changed. Mermaid will make $700 million international. Believe me when they cast it, in 2019 - they figured it'd make twice that. Lion King money - $1.6 billion. It'll make half.

Young kids like their phones, YouTube and Tik Tok. Disney hasn't figured out how to leverage that yet.

 

Aren’t they all in on the Marvel franchises too and superhero movies are (finally, Lord Jesus please) becoming passé?
