The details are still being finalized, but layoffs are expected to take place through June.

Since the cuts are aimed at “talent” it looks like Bayless is safe

Bayless left for Fox Sports. Maybe Stephen A. Smith can be axed (crosses fingers).

If ESPN had railed against Kaepernick and the 9ers ‘Management’ they’d be in fine shape. They’d have MILLIONS more watching.

Kill the messengers, instead of the fools who create the message.

They should get rid of those bimbettes who walk around with micro phones and ask stupid non football questions about how the players are feeling emotionally. I know that won’t happen.

I think Berman is retiring anyway.

One thing for sure....the entire list will be made up of white males.
