I don't think anyone says they don't watch live sporting events on ESPN. They say they don't watch anything outside of that. Of course people still tune in for games considering the amount of contracts they have for live-programming inventory.

Turns out saying baseball isn't complex because even people from the Dominican Republic could pick up the game wasn't a wise career move. Who knew?
I always thought ESPN was a bit of an odd fit for him. He's funny enough that he could probably do comedy.

So can we all make fun of you when you lose your job for making dickhead comments about Hassel?
I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so sorry if this has been covered, but is Golic Jr. gone? I hope so. People getting jobs they have no business getting only because their family member works there infuriates me.
I'm guessing his daddy made sure he stayed on though. Golic Sr. just had to threaten to leave I suppose for them to leave little Golic alone. Heck, they both could go and I wouldn't miss them.

I'm not sure why I'd lose my job over Hassel but sure, go for it.
The outpouring of sympathy for a hawk shill hack like Hassel is remarkable. Especially here.
I don't use my professional position to run down ISU athletics. Not sure why your heart bleeds so badly for someone who does.
EDIT: did
Wait a minute! All of these personalities losing jobs are real-life people with families and responsibilities? Even the ones who are openly fans of teams I don't care for? MIND=BLOWN
It's darn sad to see a spectacle like this where people just trying to get by (the folks we are talking about here) are drug publicly through a ringer like this.
Honestly, I'm more interested in the list of execs that signed a bunch of bloated contacts with leagues and who had too little vision to see a invention-of-the-printing-press type disruption rolling through media and journalism (AKA their business).
Just trying to get by??? These guys get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to talk about how ISU should get relegated or about their fantasy football teams...now we're crying profusely for them because they might have to *GASP* get a real job?...or *DOUBLE GASP* take less money?
How many of these people actually talked about how ISU should be relegated? I'm guessing the hockey guys or MLB guys or the anchors didn't.
Don't care if someoen is a hok shill or not - celebrating someone losing their job is bad form. Hope you don't lose yours one day and someone conveniently has this post bookmarked.
I'm not a Hassel fan by any stretch of the imagination, but how are these not "real jobs"? Most of these guys and gals work awful hours and live in Bristol, CT. And no, you and your buddies are not capable of recreating what they do on television. It takes hard work, practice and talent to be on camera. Hassel is especially good at being most comfortable when the lights go on.
This - every show was basically the same thing to me. People arguing over issues that twitter had talked about hours earlier.
Are people really that thin skinned that they can't handle Hassel making light hearted jabs at ISU. (He does at Iowa as well)
Hassel is awesome. If you can't get over that "he's a hawk dousche" than that's a you thing.
