this brain-dead scrub still has a job?

How is that possible? (Oh, yeah. ESPN sucks)


ESPN’s Mark May believes Miami Hurricanes should get the death penalty
If there was ever a situation that (merited the death penalty), this would be it. That’s my opinion and I stick to it. What does it take to get the death penalty now? 100 players? 125? It’s a culture of corruption. This university, in my opinion, was not run in the correct way. We all know that. When you have a situation that didn’t happen in one year or two years or three years, it happened over the course of time, then something is definitely wrong ... If it’s not going to happen with this program, then what would it take?

If you want to keep score:

Here are the confirmed ESPN layoffs (constantly updated)

Glad that little goof ball Leprechaun Eamonn Brennen got the boot, his BIG homer act was nauseating (and yeah, I probably have more Irish bloodlines that are way more recent than his, BTW)

They are also moving ESPNU studio out of NC, back to Bristol...No, it wasn't reported that it had anything to do with politics, just what ESPN is causing Disney to do, hemorrhage $$$$$$$$$$

Saw that headline and knew exactly who it'd be about. Pretty baffling he's still employed
 
Finebaum and Stephen a. smiff still have a job ?

Danny Kennell who was actually pretty fair to us was let go too. Seems like the few unbiased voices on ESPN only got fewer
 
I don't care for ESPN outside of live sports (and **** guys like May and Finebaum), but ESPN being in financial trouble is not something we should be celebrating.

Like it or not ESPN has a huge stake in the ACC, especially with the upcoming ACC network. ESPN losing money means less money to pay conferences for media rights (remember Fox is also in financial trouble), which hurts Miami's revenues.

I hope ESPN makes some changes, but wanting them to fail, if you're a UM fan, is pretty dumb
 
May "might" be the only person that should have been fired ahead of Michael Smith and Jemelle Hill.

The idiot at ESPN that made the decision to keep these three must be the person responsible for their financial decisions that put them in this place they are now.

Disagree strongly. What has this ACC money done for Miami so far? $EC gets the most $$$$ from E$ECPN and use that advantage to hire huge staffs and improve facilities, since (with the exception of Vandy) they have the taxpayer pay for the physical plant, academic salaries, to a good extent. I have been harping on this board for years about Athletic Department spending caps on a per sport basis, i.e. want to pay $10 mil a year on a HC and $5 mil on assistants? Guess what, if your budget cap is $20 mil a year, you only have $5 mil for everything else. This effectively does what the NCAA states it does, BUT DOESN'T: Enforce a competitive balance by leveling the playing field when it comes to $$$$.

The 'Canes flourished when it was a hard-work, hustle and maximizing your local ties CFB...Money has ruined the sport so much that we are headed to only the huge money programs having a real shot, say 15-17 teams MAX.

Getting the crazy $$$$ out of CFB will save CFB...No E$ECPN is a good thing for the 'Canes.
