ESPN let go of John Clayton today. Who needs real reporters anyway?

Credit to CyinDFW for finding this article. Figured this thread should be bumped. Mike & Mike are also bringing their radio show to a close in the coming weeks.

But Mike & Mike aren't really going away. They're just replacing Greenberg with Trey Wingo and then he's going to be getting his own show on ESPN.

Another round of layoffs coming up, just in time for the holidays. I wonder if ESPN will use this as an opportunity to dump Jemele Hill and justify it as a budget move.

I bet ESPN could make better use of Tommy Tuberville's salary. Maybe get some softer toilet paper for the employee lounge, or something.
I see they moved Linda Cohn to the pre-dawn weekend anchor a few months ago, maybe that's a sign she is on the way out.
Never quite understood why they need 4-5 people on Sportscenter anyways. It's more of a roundtable discussion. Just bring in a watercooler and some people off the street as they would be more interesting that the current morning shows.

It's not actually the "pre-dawn weekend anchor", it's the West Coast weekend anchor (which essentially amounts to the same thing for those of us living east of the Continental Divide after all of the taping and replaying they do for "overnight")
Maybe it's a sign they just have too many networks. Just have the main channel do sports center and the talk shows and use the remaining channels for live sports only. There's no reason to have so many pregame and talk shows on all the time. Why have Sunday morning NFL coverage on ESPN and ESPN2?
I don't do fantasy football but you can't seriously tell me they need a 3 hour fantasy show on Sunday mornings. If you watch that every Sunday, don't procreate.
Sirius/XM has an entire channel dedicated to fantasy sports. Never have listened to it.
The writing was on the wall, cable subscriptions are declining. I've been "mostly" off of cable for several years only subscribing for a few months for college football. This year I'm on Hulu which gives me access to every game I could want so cable is gone for good for me. I guess I'm technically a millennial and my generation is just used to convenient content (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix) and cable is no longer a good value regardless of content. The political angle is just ********, all of cable is in trouble. Cable/content providers should've been proactive and offered a la carte content as soon as Netflix streaming appeared on the scene although it looks like they'll recover their monopoly profits by killing net neutrality instead. Leave it to the government to protect greedy dinosaurs that make insane profits even while treating their customers like ****.
I will say, however, that even watching live CFB (which is all I ever did on ESPN) is getting bad just due to the length of the games. The commercial breaks are out of hand. At this rate, I won't be watching CFB at all in a couple of years and I'll just wait for highlights to hit YouTube.
