Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 2421638, member: 4447"] I suspect the layoffs will be more concentrated on the talk programming rather than live event programming. For the NFL, ESPN pretty much puts on whoever the NFL tells them to. Last year there was a big bruhaha where one of the big name game broadcasters wanted a day off on a playoff weekend and the NFL told them no - just fly him from the Saturday game to wherever the Sunday game was (don't remember the logistical details, but it was something like that situation) (Tirico was ESPN's proposed sub, and he got vetoed by the NFL). BTW tomorrow is the last day for Mike & Mike. [/QUOTE]
