Royale with Cheese Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sal Paolantonio was supposed to be a cut until the ESPN president woke up with a horse head in his bed. He also received a Sicilian message in the mail....the package was full of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Just another example of the 1% keeping us down. How much does the CEO make? They'll probably get replaced by chinese announcers. Edited April 26, 2017 by Just Jack politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No announcers, please!! I can see exactly what happened out there, 1 in 15 hired has something interesting to listen do during lulls in the broadcast. Worst is the three doing Final Four games, add nothing but screaming someone dunked the ball out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 No network is losing money on their NFL contract. It is the only guaranteed money maker on TV year after year. Yeah, that's why ESPN is cutting 100 people today. They're paying the NFL $800M more a year than the next closest network. Expect that to change in 2022.

Expect that to change in 2022. The NBA is the league with several outrageous long term contracts that never made sense for even one second, they have to rewrite the rules to get out of this mess every so often.

dpberr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 All of these people got cut for a simple reason. They don't yell nearly enough. You don't see Stephen A. Smith unemployed do you? ESPN is doomed. I doubt it'll be around in 2022 to renegotiate the contract. Signs of irreversible decline are everywhere. Their website is even garbage.
