Late Tuesday night, an anonymous party sent a Deadspin reporter four videos, which appeared to be a cell phone recording of a video feed, that shows ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, host of the afternoon NBA show The Jump, in a phone conversation with an unidentified man about personnel matters at the network.
Nichols (whose face never appears on camera) and the other party to the call discuss Nichols’ career, ESPN staff, and the World Wide Leader’s decision about who will host the network’s coverage of the NBA Finals. In light of privacy concerns and our being unable to view the entirety of the conversation recorded, we have chosen not to detail the conversation or post the video of the call. Sources have told Deadspin that the entire video of Nichols’ conversation was 30 minutes long. Deadspin received about four minutes of edited footage. It is also worth noting that the videos were sent to Deadspin as an attempt to discredit Nichols’ job status within ESPN, and with the public at large, with the anonymous source texting our reporter that the videos would “expose” Nichols as a “back-stabber” and a phony ally.
Nothing in the videos Deadspin viewed show Nichols saying anything that could be construed as either a back-stabber or phony ally. Historically, casting successful women as conniving backstabbers has been a tried and true method of encouraging public condemnation of them. (See, e.g., Clinton, Hillary, and Warren, Elizabeth). You love to see the classics trotted out. (Huh?)

Funny that those names would come up in their minds linked to ‘back-stabbing’ and ‘conniving’....................................
Why? She is not even attractive.
“Why? She is not even attractive.”
For the same reason they film farm animals.
Pretty sure my last colonoscopy is on the Internet somewhere. Doesn’t matter though...they all look alike.
Bunch’a assholes.
Better than some of the lesbos they have on staff.
And they all have opinions.
Has Erin Andrews called her yet?
Because that’s the ESPN culture.
Yeah
Maybe a decade or so ago.
I’m waiting for Laz’s opinion on this pic...
What’s funny to me is how woke Deadspin has become after changing owners. That place was a real internet frat house sewer at one time. Still is now just in a different way.
Married to the son of director Mike Nichols. I would think her perch is secure at ESPN.
