billsfan89 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 These pundits are paying for ESPN’s bad business decisions. Yes some of these pundits were on bloated contracts and every few years some people get let go or not resigned to deals. But ESPN has to do massive cuts because they failed to develop anyone or any programming meaningfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I always wondered why all these sports shows add so many former player commentators. Even if they were all good at it, they’ll put like 6 on at once. How can you have a good discussion that way?

ESPN could have developed their own shows from the ground up cheaper, I think circa 2018 they could have outright hired McAfee for a fraction of the cost he went for later on and been more ahead of the pack instead of playing catchup and having to buy into the market at a premium cost. It's sad that these people are out of jobs because the company they work for couldn't adapt and had to dramatically shift resources over to streaming. But yeah the time would have come eventually just sad to see that this likely is going to impact other office and production workers and not just the well off pundits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I hate for anyone to lose their job, but some of these guys like Keyshawn and Booger add absolutely nothing of value, and they should be set for life already. I wonder if they are making cuts at lower, non-visible levels too? Those folks I’d feel much worse for. They’re working to feed the kids and pay the bills. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t feel bad about this at all. It's exactly how it works. It has gotten way too expensive to keep up with the increased costs the NFL demands to host MNF. NFL and the players are greedy as heck and will do anything for an additional dime in their pocket. Just waiting for the day for the NFL to price themselves out of more networks and they will end up on some dumb streaming platform that will kill their audience. NFL is playing with fire with the amount of greed they are trying to obtain. I can assure you, the NFL isn't what it is today, without MNF for all these years on ESPN or ABC. They are currently biting the hand that is feeding them. It may not seem like its an issue now because the money is flowing, but the harder it is to find the games or buy a service to watch the game, the more future fans you are throwing away. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here’s the thing - I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t like people screaming around me and all talking at the same time. That seems to be largely the ESPN formula. I can’t take too much of their schtick. If other people have noticed that, maybe there is a reason. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
