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.

 

[HooperScooper]

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​

 

[UCTitleTown]

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.

 

[alexd]

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.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Saw this today on Twitter. Happy to hear she's out and will be back at UConn!

 

[Waquoit]

I think Stephen A was sick of her. Bad call, no one was as good as her in the role. And that's not even considering her attractiveness.

He would have to be a really good actor if that's the case and I don't think he is. He always says he's extremely close with her and he always acts extremely close with her to the point there's been long running rumors that they're dating.

I had just seen this headline and was sure this thread was about something other than Molly Qerim

Edit: They changed the freaking headline! It was:

‘Can I Bring Drugs to the Wedding?’​

And every other guest-etiquette question you can’t ask the bride.​

Thought it was going to be a story about Molly Hatchet

 

[Waquoit]

He would have to be a really good actor.

He’s a great actor! I remember when he started on Best Damn Sports Show. His shtick was casual dress, sitting slumped in the chair, giving the peace sign when he was introduced. Nothing like now. He was even on the soft-spoken side. I heard a guy make the point that if Smith likes you, you get paid. “Like Dan Orlovsky” Molly’s contract was up and she wasn’t getting paid.

Two years ago I was at a wedding where like half of the people at the reception took molly starting at the surprisingly early time of 9 PM. I wasn’t one (not my thing) and by 10 PM, the influx of “deep feelers” was just too much for me. Bailed by 10:30 (why can’t we just have a couple beers and/or a little weed?)

So I attended a non-traditional wedding (They - They) a year or so back and... A father of one of the participants provided artisanal home grown weed for the budtender. Did I mention the father is professor emeritus from an Ivy League School?

Yup, not fun being with people that are indulging if you aren't.
