I don't know if some of you have seen the news but 100 people are being let go from ESPN with Dana O'Neal being one of them. I hate to see anyone lose a job but she had this coming for the crap she wrote about Grayson Allen.

That's a shame.I don't know if some of you have seen the news but 100 people are being let go from ESPN with Dana O'Neal being one of them. I hate to see anyone lose a job but she had this coming for the crap she wrote about Grayson Allen.
Yep, I saw her post on twitter and wanted to respond with something about Grayson but decided not to. I was watching a press conference during the NCAA tournament and Dana asked Grayson a question and he just started laughing during the question and would not even look at her. I believe Frank was doing the presser as well and he just kept looking at Grayson while she was talking. It was subtle but very funny.O'Neal covered Grayson as if he were NBA vet, enjoy the off time! Say someone writes an article stating Dana deserved the layoff, bet she wouldn't enjoy the coverage.
Fixed itI don't watch espn any more. It's the same old thing just different people every hour shouting about the same topics as the ones before.
Bye! Enjoy the unemployment line. I've got a few others at ESPN I hope are on that list.I don't know if some of you have seen the news but 100 people are being let go from ESPN with Dana O'Neal being one of them.

TIme for "The SIx" to get cut too. I know they are targeting a younger, more diverse audience, but young people see right through their crappy attempt to be cool. Sports are cool by themselves, just give us highlights, numbers and the best interviews and keep the damn TMZ style sensationalism out of it. ESPN must be run by a Tar Hole or something.
You can thank John Skipper for thatI am in my 30s, so there was a day when I watched ESPN, and Sportcenter specifically, for the personalities - Dan Patrick, Keith Olbermann, Stuart Scott, Craig Kilborn, Kenny Mayne, Rich Eisen. Those guys were absolutely great. Highlights and humor. But that isn't what it is anymore unfortunately. They have skewed more toward the "sensationalism" side, and it isn't enjoyable.

True, but the majority of their revenue is ad based. Less viewers, pageviews/clicks equals less $$$Whether or not you watch ESPN, if it is included on your cable package, you are paying ESPN roughly $7 per month, or $84 per year. People have caught on. In the span of maybe 5 years, ESPN has gone from more than 100 million subscribers to less than 88 million. They are losing millions of dollars. I don't pay for ESPN once the college basketball season ends.

Patrick, Olberman, Eisen and Mayne...Those are the guys. Closest thing they have now is SVP and he's Maryland fan.
IIRC, SVP sent out a tweet bitching about the refs in a Duke-Syracuse game. His sorry azz should be fired as well.Patrick, Olberman, Eisen and Mayne...Those are the guys. Closest thing they have now is SVP and he's Maryland fan.
I stand corrected!Subscriber base is ESPN's main revenue driver, see link: http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/e...cribers-worst-month-in-company-history-102916
He was also referencing other posts on twitter as "evidence" that Hood should have been called for a blocking foul, what a joke!IIRC, SVP sent out a tweet bitching about the refs in a Duke-Syracuse game. His sorry azz should be fired as well.
Would be awesome if that's the route they choose to take!It is still called ESPN? I thought it was purely a NBA channel now?!? Or at least called LJSN - Lebron James Sports Network.....
Len Elmore went to Harvard Law and you'd never know it.
