Jalen Rose out at ESPN as company continues high-profile layoffs
NY Post ^ | 06/30/2023 | Andrew Marchand and Ryan Glasspiegel

ESPN has let go of NBA Countdown’s Jalen Rose, The Post has learned.

Rose, 50, had been on ABC/ESPN’s top NBA broadcast for a decade, which was especially impressive because of the amount of changes the network has made over that time.

The Post first reported Friday morning that ESPN was laying off around 20 on-air personalities.

Top NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy was also let go by the network.

ESPN had reduced Rose’s role at the network after his daily program with David Jacoby was canceled at the end of 2022.

The only time I ever see ESPN anymore is when it’s on the screen, directly in front of the equipment I’m using at the gym.

Feminized, faggotized, woke garbage.

"ESPN likes some of its emerging analysts, such as Kendrick Perkins"

Never considered Rose to be “high profile.”

I like ESPN because they show a lot of college lacrosse in the spring. They are, for the most part, good on televising college football.

But I never watch SportsCenter or any of their talk shows.

No idea who this guy or gal is, but ESPN has been unwatchable for a long time.

I knew the founders of ESPN, an associate of mine told me about this plan to sell Hartford Whalers and UConn games to homes. The was the begining of ESPN. I almost bought 100 shares of it, but my parents and my stockbroker both told me it not going to work. One of the few times both were wrong.

But, Rose DID lift the accumulated IQ of the Fab Five out of negative territory.
