OT: No Molly?

[Waquoit]

Apparently Molly Qerim is done at ESPN with no notice. Besides being a UConn alum, she was great at what she did. How does this make ESPN better? Was it her choice, anybody know?

I'm worried it may be her health. She has a very difficult and often debilitating chronic health problem.

I like her and hope she's okay.

She announced she is leaving ESPN at the end of the year. I noticed she wasn't on the show today. Was that her choice or did they send her packing when she announced she was leaving?

Connecticut native Molly Qerim, host of 'First Take' for a decade, leaving ESPN at end of the year​

She's not leaving until the end of the year, so I doubt it's health related, although she's had that. She said "Stay Tuned" for her plans, so probably a new opportunity. It sucks to lose such a great UConn supporter in such a high-profile spot.

She announced it on IG yesterday. It was her decision. ESPN offered a new contract. She said "stay tuned" so she's got something planned. She was one of the few reasons to watch ESPN. A proud UConn & Q-Piac alum.

I plan on some this weekend at the mothership seeing Phish

she's gone now, whatever happened it looks like a decision was made to take her off the show ASAP

Yeah, at no point when I read the thread title was I expecting this to be about ESPN personnel moves.

We used to be a proper message board.

 

[Lafayette]

Yeah thought this was about the drug but now reading…hope she just got fed up with Smith

 

[mauconnfan]

Obviously the contract offer fell short of what other similar broadcasters were offered and she felt disappointed. Just a guess but think it’s in the vicinity.

ESPN sucks now so hopefully she lands a better position elsewhere, well deserved.

If she still lives in Westport I'd be happy to become her caretaker and lovingly nurse her back to health

I heard she was sick … and tired. Of Stephen A! I had the same ailment. Cure is quick and easy.
