Some ESPN Personnel Sending Out Resumes In Anticipation of Next Huge Round of Layoffs
A bankrupt ideology leads to... well, pretty obvious, isn't it?
In the next few weeks, the Worldwide Leader is expected to undergo another round of massive layoffs -- Sporting News cites 40-60 layoffs coming, with Sports Illustrated reporting the number will exceed 100 -- and the next wave of who’s-next worry has many scanning their options. According to a Monday Sporting News report, which cited a source at a rival network, some ESPN staffers already are sending out "just-in-case" resumes to competitors such as FS1, NBCSN and Turner Sports. "The narrative from many long-timers still there is: 'I know my day is coming. It's not if. It's when,'" another source told the site.The SJW Clownshow Sports Center is expected to face some of the deepest cuts. But whyyyyyyyy????!!!! Bonus, via Instapundit: ESPN hosts insists that no one he knows has stopped watching ESPN, and never will, because what would people do without television at night?

I answer a lot of questions to people about streaming, trying to encourage them to get their feet wet, for crying out loud. Into at least the '100' level. Which saves them a ton of money.
I can't even begin to talk about Kodi and the '400' level of add-ons to streaming. I think their eyes would glaze over.
I showed an extended family member a foreign channel on Kodi and he was amazed. "You pick up the remote and click this, this, and this? That's all?"
The real esoteric stuff and pron channels (I've heard) are only a click or three away.

Seriously, I just set it up on an old computer set up as a linux box to play around with. Many distributions include it or can be easily installed. My personal favorite is Linux Lite.
After that, watch some youtube vids to see all the stuff you can do. It's a pretty remarkable bit of free software.

I suppose it's just further evidence of the progressive bubble they continually orbit. They never venture outside of it, never observe anything outside of it and basically don't give other opinions any consideration at all because icky conservatives.
It's elitism and nothing, not even declining viewership or falling revenues seems to convince them that they just might be doing something wrong. They could reverse course at any time, abandon their leftarded, anti-American progressive narrative and return to their former place as a good sports reporting outlet.
But they refuse. F 'em.

The NFL demanded more cash than Disney felt comfy with, so they altered the business paradigm.
ABC was hamstrung by market forces in having to sell "advertising" to make the transaction make sense.
MSESPN could and has shaken down cable subscribers as well as sell ads.
The math worked by taking the game private, they then started getting politcal and now the math won't work.

Any time that SportsCenter is on, I make a request for the channel to be changed. I generally say, "Hey, is there a live game you could play instead" and the bartender is happy to find something else. In reality, I don't care what is on the TV - since I just ignore it.
The other day, as I was walking in, there was a huge panel discussion about the NFL Protests and one of the anchors was going on and on about Trump. As I got to the bar, I said, "Oh give it a fucking rest, I can't stand these fuckers blathering on about politics." The Manager said, "Yeah, so-and-so is pretty fired up" and just turned around and went about cleaning up some stuff. The bartender looked at me and I said, "I'm gonna go see what they have on at Legends" - the bar next door - and I turned around and left.
I think I've only seen SportsCenter on the Irish Pub TV once or twice since then. They have actually started leaving it tuned to FS1 instead. I guess being a cranky asshole pays off ;-)

ESPN, you're supposed to be a SPORTS network. It's in the name. Show sports and get out of the way.

Hey ESPN your demo is male sports viewers. Do they have a ESPN 5 they could call it the V and market that directly to women and see how it stacks up to a male targeted demo.
I watched a half of football Sunday night. In one commercial set all the ads were 100% targeted toward women complete with the idiot men meme. The next set was 70% women. (The beer company ad with the hot 27 yo chick CEO? What and who are they even selling?) Not that there is anything wrong with that. Don't be surprised, though, that as male viewers drop out women don't step up and watch more, and the women will follow the male exodus.

Yes, ESPN is filled with a lot of jerks, and a lot of these people have directly contributed to the collapse. However, do we really believe that ALL of the 100 (estimated) people are jerks?
When you read about the situation in Venezuela, remember that not all of them voted for this catastrophe. Not all Californians are self destructive. Plenty of "Republicans" drive you crazy every day.

Unfortunately those at the top and those in front of the camera are hell bent on ramming leftist propaganda down our throats every minute of every day.
ESPN's disappearance would be a shame for the average employee who does not share this mission. But disappear it must. And it's the ownership/leadership that wold be to blame.

Yeah it seems that just like with all the Hollywood perverts the newsmedia perverts this behavior was known about and ignored. At least until it becomes public knowledge.
And you know I'm tired of some trying to turn all this into a "this is an attack on relationships between men and women an you're helping!" that some are pushing. No these are perverts getting their rocks off at work. This is not some spring break party in Cancun where everyone is there and knows they're going to be hooking up.

During the day I might have YouTube (streaming) on playing a playlist. At night a comedy show (streaming) before bedtime. The wife likes some current shows so the ota antenna captures them to an inexpensive PVR for her to watch later. She likes Hulu, Amazon, or Netfllix (streaming). When I wake up at night it's off to Kodi (streaming) for something more esoteric.
But 'regular' cable television with it's 400 channels of real-time junk? It's dead to me. I really question why people pay $150 a month or more for such garbage.

Is this actually true, though? Obviously there's some confirmation bias here, but I can point you to tons of well-written, well-researched, thoughtful, artful, long-form pieces of sports journalism written in the era of clickbait Buzzfeed garbage. I think it would be difficult to find that many "hard news" equivalents, even though hard news journalism outnumbers sports journalism by a pretty large number.
If any negative stereotype might be true, it's that sports journos are failed *athletes*. I certainly wanted to play baseball growing up, and transitioned to reading about and researching baseball when I realized I couldn't play worth a lick.

He prolly didn't want to either. But the press would have crucified him. Either way he loses with them...so it's picking which one seems the least painful with this kind of crap.

The bowling alley has TVs up there with the bolwing score monitors.
ESPN is generally on. Since labor day, I have yet to see a game of any
sort being broadcast. It's all bullshit and highlights.
I only see these sports networks in restaurants and bars, and it's astonishing how much of a time-sink it is. Not just watching sports, but it seems that it's ten hours of people blathering about sports for every hour of actual sports.
Do people really watch and hang on the opinions of these non-entities paid to blather on and on?

I wonder sometimes if it isn't just for the guys who would rather be sitting at the bar getting hammered but nobody will talk to them.
Sports talk is about the most vapid, useless.....
These are guys that never played, never competed, mostly sat in mom's basement playing with baseball cards or some such. All they can do is talk.
Barbara Walter's daughter once said that her mom couldn't cook, wouldn't clean, really had no marketable skills, but she could talk. Somehow, that is a paying gig. It's utter nonsense, but there it is.

I expect that Trump is actually big on tradition if its American or Presidential traditions. Like it or not that dumb turkey pardoning ceremony is a presidential tradition. The press dinner isn't a presidential tradition, its a time for the press to talk about how wonderful they are, and he doesn't think they're wonderful so he's not going to go to their stupid party where they talk about how amazing they are while bashing him.

Yes, I'm guessing Charlie Rose really thought these young, attractive women found him irresistibly handsome. He's probably got a variation of the same syndrome that makes skeletal, anorexic women think they're hopelessly overweight.
It's sad, really. But not too sad. I like the idea of that smug, condescending, partisan bastard walking the plank with hungry sharks circling down below.
Posted by: troyriser at November 21, 2017 01:44 PM (7IUXx)
I could not believe Rose was 75 yo. Thought he was younger. After reading the details of his behavior, it was truly disgusting. It was also clear many others knew about it.
Same with Glen Thrush. Interns warned each other about him.

And Forensic Files, for all its interest, goes a bit too far selling the "forensics" aspect. A good 30% of the cases or more were solved through just gold old fashioned police work, not the forensics.

The first GQ I recall reading was three decades ago. It featured all the fashion ads, as well as tips for men how to be suave and debonair, and adventure activity articles. You had the feeling that Ian Fleming's "James Bond" character was the role model for the men. Not realistic, of course, but at least something a normal man would want to read.
What I have run across more recently in waiting rooms? Pouty poofy men, scented ads, articles leftish and "gay friendly". One got the feeling there was a subliminal message telling you to bend over and vaseline your squeakhole.

Bottom line ESPN - don't get political unless that political is support for apple pie, mom, and the USA. or, at the very least, strive for some sort of balance. In fact, there is some advice right there - people don't mind a debate, but they get pissed as hell over lectures. So if you want to discuss the kneeling, and BLM, or whatnot, make absolutely sure both sides are heard, and that both sides are 100% respectful of the others opinion. If you can't do that, then the topic is off limits.

Stories I have heard tell me he may be another Charlie Rose...
Chris Berman is unashamed about one particular fetish: he LOVES the powder-blue jerseys of the Chargers (wherever they are playing - Los Angeles, San Diego, Tijuana). Whenever the team wears them, and he's covering the game, HE WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THEM, which suggests to me just the sight of one of them on a football player makes him uncontrollably horny.
(If he got run from the network, it would be a classic example of addition by subtraction.)
