It looks like ESPN is firing all of their remaining talent..
So they can pay the big-mouthed idiots that drive their ratings.

Jemele Hill threatens to resign
I thought they gave her the boot in 2018 with an "amicable settlement" after her stupid racist remarks?

Karl Revech began his career in a small area and I thought he sounded like Kermit the Frog.
I was shocked how far he made it. He despised ND.
You mean I won't get to see real-life Ralph Bakshi character, Cam Newton, dispense his profundities?

Saban Herbie sas and mcafee ..soaked up all the cash..so the
Next time someone says what other people make has no bearing or impact on you...guess again ..ESPN sucks poo hopefully it folds
if i even must watch espdsn, the "mute" button is always pushed.
all you have to know is manifested by when they show an interview - they will often show the interviewer's name, but not the interviewee. that says everything you need to know.
They had remaining talent?
Who knew?
Some died, some got old, and some went crazy. Van Pelt may be the only quality talent left.

I do enjoy the telecast when McDonogh / McElroy are in the booth. Same for Ness / Daniels.
Back in the day Ron Franklin /Mike Gottfried and Summerall / Madden was must see TV. Going back even further, Curt Gowdy, Ray Scott, Dick Enberg, and Chris Schenkel made these games more enjoyable to watch. So, IMHO, the booth was important to a more enjoyable TV viewer. I notice ESPN isn't ditching any of these non essential sorority sideline gals.
ESPN is unwatchable and has been for about 15 years

When the pundits and commentators become more the story than the event u cover
U have issues.
Most cable networks have the same problem. It’s not reporting, its opinion. And it’s driven by the audience.
Please don’t let facts get in the way of their narrativess. Sometimes all u need is a box score
Big time decline, for sure
It got much worse around the time that Lou had left ESPN.
I'm glad he left before it truly degenerated into a cesspool.
Do people that watch a game because of the announcers?
It is one thing to be good at what one is doing -- and there are plenty of announcers that are.
It is another thing to be stupid $$ to someone because of their "name", especially when that "name" doesn't drive viewership.
My big example is Monday Night Football when Aikman and Buck. Does anyone watch that game because they are the announcers -- i.e., do they drive viewership? Yet they make gobs of $$ even though they aren't notably any better than a variety of announcers.
Never have and never will..
who is doing the talking is about #1000 on my list of reasons to watch...who is playing being #1 of course.
