    Imagine if "Cover Alerts" came back. ESPN once broke in when a team was up 17 and the line was 18. They all got a little scared and killed it.

    Give me information I can use and care about. Give me serious info about who will win or lose and why. Even in games that aren't close matchups relative to the line.

    Steve Wynn is old, blind and past his expiration date. But if a casino person of his stature and financial means bought ESPN and addressed winning and losing in a serious way - you might have something.

    Sorta CNBC for sports

    Keep a few of the nonsense shows for lulz if you must.

    The pressure Wall Street has on Disney to get rid of this turd is intense. Layoffs just make ESPN more palatable for sale.

    I am curious how England handles the reality of sports wagering and sports entertainment broadcasting. I am sure it is more evolved.

    Wouldn't all of the talent be on air. I don't think graphic designers would ever be described as "talent" no matter how talented they are. It's a word for strippers and apparently all of ESPN's employees.

    wow dilfer is gone so is jayson stark...hacked off kannell too...they said they wanted to focus on digital content, but they seem to be getting rid of a lot of their .com staff...I get why theyre killing all of their hockey staff outside of Melrose, but how can you call yourself a sports network if you don't have any staff? man you vastly overpay for NFL/NBA rights and your other products go to fucking hell...

    I really liked russillo and kannell...deadspin article said theyre cutting russillo's time as well...surprised that show wasn't pulling its weight...

    surprised theyre fucking with mike and mike...greeny can be annoying as fuck but thought golic balanced him out well...

    but we're all safe, steven A is still employed...thank god...

    They didn't fire enough Jews and they were too scared to fire Stephen A Smith because he would cry racism.

    ESPN is following the same path MTV did. Focus on sports and forget the bs, especially political bs. ESPN was a go to channel for me. Now I may turn it on if there's a good NBA game or the rare golf tourney. Besides that fuck em.

    I like Stark but no idea what his value is to them. Same with DIlfer , very little value. I like Kannell

    GOlic will be gone or be in a limited role. Greeny will be getting his own show.

    Two words that should help put the importance of this in perspective:

    sports analysis

    guessing stark and kurkjiun are redundant although stark was the writer, just think tim is the TV guy...guessing stark didn't have that much value as a contributor to insider...they have a thousand guys on NFL so dilfer is probably redundant in some regards, but always like listening to him talk QBs...kanell kinda shocks me given he played a dual role as college football host and radio host as well...guessing R&Ks ratings were shit, which would make him expendable in a hurry...

    I think greeny by himself is gonna be a trainwreck...him trying not to be controversial is as annoying as steven A trying to be all loud and controversial...

    ya but the one thing greeny can do is lead a show. I am not sure GOlic can do that. Greeny can just have guests pop in etc and run sportscenter clips. I dont think it is going to be a traditional radio show like they have

    I wasn't calling you out. Literally 100 out of 100 articles on this use the same wording. It's obviously me that is wrong.
