Traitor! 😂

 

That’s home for him, right?
 

Seriously, Good for MLJ. Even if I’m salty he’s jumping ship for a division rival. Seems like a great guy and represented ESPN well with solid Bills coverage. 

I believe he’s from the west coast

I liked Marcel - he was neither a homer nor hater.  Just trying to give honest unbiased opinions, and report things.  

 

I agree, I thought Marcel L-J did a good and fair job and was a huge improvement over whoever that was who went before him.

 

He also embraced Buffalo food and culture

 

That said, now that he's covering the stinkin' Marine Mammals, he's Dead to Me.

Why do they randomly move these people around?

 

I'm wondering the same.

 

You'd think that if someone is doing well (which Marcel was), it would be in ESPN's best interest to leave them there to continue to build relationships with the execs, coaches and players.

 

This seems like very unnecessary turnover through which no one wins.

Would not be shocked if clicks, or % increase in clicks is part of their metrics to get paid. Miami is bigger than Buffalo, which probably equals more viewership, which may get him more money.

It confirms that it doesn't matter who they send where to crank out this content for them.  It's generic stuff.

Do they actually move to the City they cover full time?  I got the sense MLJ stayed mostly on the west coast. 

My understanding is they do live in the city. When Marcel was leaving he did a golf outing with all the Bills media.

Is it random? I assume the Miami job was available and Marcel wanted it and got the job rather than just being shipped out of Buffalo with no say in the matter.

Probably something like that. ESPN may also want their young reporters to not get too set on covering one team for years. I'd have to see what they do with the other team-dedicated reporters.

 

From a young reporter's perspective, it is great experience.
