This makes me think that ESPN is either getting a small part of the new media deal or they are out all together.

I’d agree with you, except it’s too blurry to read

Why didn't they fire his buddy Mark too while they're at it?

JVG became more and more toxic to listen too. Jalen Rose being laid off was a fantastic decision by ESPN too.

Can you change the title to ESPN Layoffs.

Max Kellerman and Keyshawn Johnson are also out.

Y'all think ESPN is trying to sign Shannon Sharpe?

I mean what's not to love? JVG is hilarious. Do people actually hear some of his ideas and think he's dead serious?

That's only part of the Van Gundy schtick. He routinely goes on insufferable tangents for possessions on end that have nothing to do with the broadcast. I'm there to watch a basketball game, not listen to him do a terrible Jerry Seinfeld impression like it's open mic night at The Comedy Hole.

JVG should probably just retire. He used to be decent but was hard to listen to the last few years.

He's great. Give me those tangents instead of the same thing you hear over and over in every game. He's the best (national) color commentators, the funniest and one of the best analysts too.
