Stephen A
Wilbon
Breen
SVP
Buck
Aikman

College Football:
herbstreit

College Basketball:
Bilas

Not sure who else

Malika?

I wouldnt say she is untouchable. I think she is one of the many they can keep around because her salary is so cheap. I was thinking people with big salaries.

I just feel like he is still an ESPN mainstay. But I could be wrong with him and SVP.

Yes he is.

I would add sage Steele. They will have a huge lawsuit if they fire her.

I’d also add Mike Greenberg

David Pollock was good that sucks for college football

no idea who Brewer/Joon Lee were

Joon is an MLB writer and Brewer was one of the SC hosts.

she's cute

surprised they let her go and kept Linda Cohn...how Linda Cohn still has a job at SC is wild to me.

This will probably happen. Media loves Doc Rivers both on the court and on tv

How the **** did Greenberg become the face of ESPN?! He’s mediocre at best.

Linda Cohn is one of the untouchables. Her & Kenny Mayne carried that show back in the day.

No, but they are not as profitable as in the past most likely. Layoffs don't happen just when company is losing money. (Meta, google, Amazon)

Linda Cohn had an affair with Chris Berman. I know Linda’s father…she will never be fired

As long as Molly Qerim and Erin Dolan are still there who cares who ESPN fires

jc23 · Post #258 » by **jc23** » Fri Jun 30, 2023 9:41 pm

for local sports there might be some good hires coming up. I hope Comcast Chicago can poach a few.

If you are interested in espn stuff - follow Jack Miller. He has written books also. Greenberg was physically assaulted by Mike Golic and threatened to go public and instead got a huge payday from espn….there’s thing that would shock you
