Maybe all the laid off employees had made anti-gay slurs?

What’s the business case for retaining First Take and its gang of idiots?

Guess our cable and satellite TV bills will soon be going up.

ESPN has always been left wing...but they've taken it to new heights with Obama in office.

ESPN may need to cut costs because they have recently gotten rights to several live events (like the US Open Finals) which are very expensive.

I never understood this line of reasoning. Were these people simply being paid without doing anything productive? If so they should have been laid off long ago. Whether or not you bought rights to an event has no bearing on if these employees were creating profit for the company.

Hopefully Chris Vermin and Dickie the Shill will be among them.

I know it won’t happen, but I would do handsprings all the way to California if they whacked Rick Reilly...

Guarantee it is the result of NBA contract that nobody watches. The attendance at the games is low, and the viewership is way off. Advertisers don't like the product. They don't even replay the games as baseball replays pay better.

Maybe sports networks in the Boston and New York markets will hire them, since they pretty much work for them already...

Maybe this would be a good day for all the queer ESPN employees to come out of the closet...might save your job.

Looks like Erin Andrews made a wise move going to CBS Sports, especially since CBS has started it’s own sports channels.

I suspect some of the ESPN talent will end up there.

The on-air talent have contracts, so they are safe until they expire. After that, you can expect their pay to go down significantly, or not renewed.

I don’t know how Tony Kornhieser has managed to stay on. Most irritating sports guy on TV; even worse than Dicky V.

Running scared of Fox Sports 1 already. Cutting costs to try and outbid FS1 for big events.

Bread and circuses.

First they killed Hostess, and now ESPN?

Riots will happen...
