They will all be re-hired sooner and in greater numbers than our unemployed scientists and engineers will be.

... significant cutting of on-air talent

"on-air talent"? Is that what they call that bunch of blow-hards they drug out of a Connecticut bar somewhere?

“And look, there’s a lot of uncertainty about who it’s gonna be and why. Remember, this is not quantum physics, so it’s not an exact equation.”

Apparently, he is not familiar with the uncertainty principle.

Dang! You beat me to it.

I can’t believe they actually referred to them as “talent.”

Talent only if you think screaming “They came to play” into a camera constitutes talent.

The most annoying channels on cable.

They should have a rule to stop more announcers then players.

Well, yes, that is true.

But since I have been in the “Arts” for over half a century, and look at “Entertainment” the old fashioned way...I engage in my art to ENTERTAIN people.

And make a little money at the same time. LOL! :-)

“They’ve decided they would rather do LIBERAL politics than sports.”

That is the bottom line and it is costing them viewers.

So the two or three women with their shortening skirts telling us all about sports isn't getting better ratings?

Nailed it. Documentaries about sports are not sports. Just like MTV made reality shows about music, but not actual music. Their "insiders" are no smarter than the average fan.

I kept cable for years only due to sports. I cut the cord and tuned out ESPN when they started adding social commentary and announcers advocated liberal politics. For me sports were an escape for a few hours. When they started infusion politics, they lost the dynamic. I miss sports, but not enough to buy cable, or ala carte ESPN. They worked hard to lose me as a customer.
