Booger McFarland doesn’t work at building his brand OR at getting better at his craft. At least results on screen suggest that he doesn’t.
The truth set him free.............
Everybody wants to be the next LeBron James...........
Well, espn sure can “pick” ‘em.
Whatever happened to free speech?
They fired a black guy for criticizing black players on the grounds of racism?
Is this satire or have we reached Peak Clown World?
He sucked because he was advanced thru the ranks too quickly from the SEC channel. With that said, he shouldn’t be fired for this, ESPN was probably looking for an excuse to get rid of him to trim payroll.
McFarland is one of the better and more interesting people on espn. Not great on MNF, but super likable and original thinking in his commentary. He’s gonna find a home quickly if he wants one.
Kinda like what blogpimps do.
Booger should not have been showed the door for his truthful comments. He should have been fired last year for not being very good at his job.
Was he Wrong??
Jamarcus Russell may have had problems but I don’t see any evidence he cared more about building his brand. Same thing with Dwayne Haskins. But I don’t think Dwayne hoskins has run out of chances.
To be replaced with Aqua Talib from Ebonics U.!
"ESPN is Firing Booger McFarland for Fictitious Reasons in Order to Cut Payroll Due to Declining Viewership"
WTF? Thats a valid point and concern, especially with todays young athletes who are deep into social media and marketing themselves. A thoughtful question for sports journalism, which apparently has been reduced to Outkick and a few other organizations. He needs to hire a lawyer and sue them.
I’ve watched ESPN through the decades morph itself into some politically correct culture network that really cares nothing about sports and everything about the progressive agenda. Sports is just the vehicle for their message.
If there should be anyone fired, take your pick at any number of these women who sit around on these mid day shows and opine about things they know next to nothing about. They are not interesting, they don’t have a lot of knowledge, some of what they say is outright stupid. Some are borderline hot to look at but then again if the volume is on, whatever hotness they portrayed evaporates when they open their mouth. Who the hell cares what they think. How does their opinion or analysis help our fellow man? Better yet, who cares what any of those ppl think. And they are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to run their mouth. What a gig.
I don’t know if Chris Berman has retired or not. He can just give ‘em the middle finger and say goodbye to this crap.
