OT: John Clayton out at ESPN
Next you're gonna tell me they let go of Bill Simmons. Wait.....they what?
Wow, he is one of the go to guys for everything NFL. Whoever is in charge at ESPN is driving the enterprise into the ground. Did Dave Brandon switch jobs without me knowing?
Clayton to re-up with Desmond, I'll take it.
How long until ESPN goes to a subscription based streaming service like HBOGo? It seems to me that may be the only way to save the ship. Last numbers I could find was that cable providers pay $6 per sub for the ESPN family. $4(or less)/cable sub and $10 per streaming subscriber may work.
Cable subs will bring in the steady revenue and streaming subs will provide additional revenues during sports seasons.

The dreaded double post is back
I don't like learning things from reputable sources. 2017 rules!
ESPN is reputable lol
I wouldn't extend that compliment to the entire company.
Yea, Clayton is one of the better ones
The NFL is the king of sports right now with gambling/fantasy so this is kind of shocking. I guess he just costs too much.
No one is safe at ESPN!
Except Desmond!
And SA Smith. And Jemele Hill...
Yeesh, I suddenly feel bad for Desmond.
And they extended Lee Corso's contract.
Even though he was wrong sometimes, he was by far one of the less annoying people they had.
I blame this on the ridculuous contracts they paid for CFB and NFL games and not being able to see the cordcutting trend that's going on now.
Tuning into ESPN and having a political agenda rammed down your thoat is a problem as well.
Well always have the Slayer commercial John.
Hopefully he bounces back as he was one of their better personalities.
John Clayton! Are you kidding me? There's no fu*%$ loyalty anymore.
limited role ...but he was one of their best
too bad
*rips off tear-away suit to reveal slayer t-shirt*
He was a little peculiar but man his stuff was always spot on. I really hope another sports station can takes over as #1 sooner than later.
WHAT A CLUSTER FUCK ESPN HAS BECOME!
Does Anyone watch ESPN anymore?
All of these layoffs and they decide to hire chip kelly.......
