ESPN will lay off more than 100 staffers after the Thanksgiving holidays, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated. The layoffs, which were described by a person briefed on the plans, will hit positions across ESPN including front-facing talent on the television side, producers, executives, and digital and technology staffers. The SportsCenter franchise is expected to be hit hard--including on-air people--given the frequency of the show has lessened considerably on main network ESPN. The network declined comment to SI on Thursday afternoon.ESPN laid off about 300 people in October 2015 and then another 100 in April of this year, and they still haven't tossed out enough crewmen to keep the sinking ship afloat.

Well, its not right but I feel a great deal of satisfaction watching bad businesses pay for bad business decisions. Even if they were smart about it, though, they'd be suffering now. Their big bet was on the NFL and people are using cable TV a lot less for their sports choices. Or rather, if they do, they're using the league's official channel rather than ESPN.
They need to pare back and focus on other sports more. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 09, 2017 06:30 PM (39g3+) 89

I found it fascinating to hear that Jerry Jones, who is a fairly savvy businessman despite recent kneeling-related events, has bought a stake in an esports team (Complexity Dota 2). He's probably betting that as normal sports decline for various reasons, esports will popularize, and he's probably right.

None of the people being fired at ESPN are the execs or the top "personalities" which really is probably the bulk of the problem.

Several years ago, I worked at a tv station. They got rid of a lot of their technical staff and automated everything they could. And that is continuing from what I hear.
Also... they want cheap labor, so they will take new college graduates and pay them nothing to replace someone with experience. The average age for a producer is probably 26 or so. Executive producers are a bit older; the only people in their 40's+ are the ones that produce the "investigative reports." Everyone else is young. This seems like it's more on-air related; however... on air personalities cost $$$. Overall... not surprising. Posted by: shibumi at November 09, 2017 06:33 PM (aT+Bx) 109

I draw a distinction between a play-by-play announcer and a color commentator (commentator of color?). The former can be anybody who has a good voice, and studies up a bit on whatever game we're talking about. The latter, however, IMO must be someone who played the game at that level, to offer player-type insights. Which is why Softball Girl pisses me off. OK, she played softball in college, and was doubtless a good softball player. But that's NOT MLB, and softball is a different game than baseball in so many ways.

108 Several years ago, I worked at a tv station. They got rid of a lot of their technical staff and automated everything they could. And that is continuing from what I hear.
Also... they want cheap labor, so they will take new college graduates and pay them nothing to replace someone with experience. The average age for a producer is probably 26 or so. Executive producers are a bit older; the only people in their 40's+ are the ones that produce the "investigative reports." Everyone else is young. This seems like it's more on-air related; however... on air personalities cost $$$. Overall... not surprising.

Agree-local news here in Boston used to be really good, with a long-time experienced local reporters that did a lot of investigative reporting--and being Boston, there was always a ton of stuff to investgate. Now? News is mostly random non-local eporters talking about who tweeted what, what is going viral, the occaisional fire or accident. The hacks are running the asylum and no one except Howie Carr calls them on it. The reporting is taken straight off the internet, for the most part, and is barely local. Not good.

Posted by: Soothsayer -- Fake Commenter at November 09, 2017 06:26 PM (yXCUX) Yeah, but the handle of a lawn mower runs parallel to the ribs. So you might break one, maybe two, that way, at most. To break six in one impact the impact would have to be perpendicular to the ribs, right? So that pretty much rules out an accident from a one time impact.

@151: "ESPN is very unlikely to retain any MLB or NFL contracts. Neither league needs ESPN and why pay to be shown on an increasingly ignored channel?"
I could be wrong, but I'd heard that the Monday Night Football contract gives ESPN unlimited rights to all NFL game clips, replays, etc., across all of their shows and distribution channels. That's a big deal, so going forward, it's not as simple as either ESPN or the NFL simply dropping the other. They'll end up negotiating something regardless. But, yeah, more broadly, it seems like all of the major sports leagues will end up doing more of their own broadcasting on their namesake channels and streaming services. Ten years ago, it seems impossible for leagues to lure the neccesary on-air talent and production peeps, so their shows didn't end up looking like local cable access stuff, with only one or two hours of original programming. Nowadays, not so much. Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 09, 2017 06:47 PM (I/iGu) 197

Posted by: goodluckduck at November 09, 2017 06:42 PM (yqvys) Good point, but our society is becoming increasingly fractured and silo-ed. Every interest is becoming a niche interest, and there is money to be made with a select group as we become more and more balkanized. That is why the destruction of the few things we used to have in common as Americans is so under attack, i.e. standing for the national anthem and respecting the flag. The left wants to destroy anything that might get us to lay down our difference and come together as a nation. They, with ESPN's assistance, are succeeding.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 09, 2017 06:26 PM (gLfJd) ---------------------------------- Well, she did play as a little kid before switching to fast-pitch. And there are a lot of good (or famous) sport-casters who weren't players --- Vin Scully, Jack Buck, Howard Cosell, etc. IOW, she could be a sports-talker. The problem with Mendoza is that the original set-up was the non-player talker, an offensive ex-player, and an ex-pitcher, with the last two actually having been pros. With Mendoza, they now have 2 talkers and one player. If they insist on keeping her, get rid of the other talker and bring in an ex-pitcher. As for me, I find all the blather annoying to begin with and especially annoying with a higher pitched voice. I don't know why but it just grates on my ears.

Sure. But what's your point? Breaking six of them in one go must surely a pretty substantial impact, like e.g., a baseball bat struck along the long axis of the body.

T-ball experience is nice, but doesn't count. Hell, I played in high school and college, and I wouldn't consider that I was suitable for a color commentator.

That makes it sound like almost a freak accident; but why did Boucher attack him then at all?
I think the sustained attack makes more sense. Incensed by something or other, he tackles Paul, throws him on the ground, and kicks or stomps him. Makes more sense, doesn't it? There are only two people who know for certain what happened. The perp sure isn't going to tell us, and the perpee won't either, for fear of tainting the jury pool. I'm guessing there was a flying tackle. Had a kid try that on me one day in PE class. He'd done it before, tackled me from behind while we were playing soccer. I was ready for him the last time, sidestepped him, got him in a headlock and pounded his face into a bloody pulp. He left me alone after that.

So my co-worker went to a wedding a week ago (I believe it was his brother that got married) and apparently one of the brother's in-laws works at a brewery (Fullsteam) and brought the beer.
Co-worker doesn't drink so he asked me if I wanted it. I said "sure" thinking what, a six pack or something. Oh no, at least a case. So I have about a case of Fullsteam Rocket Science IPA in my refrigerator. It's pretty good so far, and it just keeps getting better...so I've got that going for me.

Sounds like the Fusion GPS investigation is starting to get very interesting.
