Flush with Disney cash? ESPN was typically over 30% of Disney's total profit and 2% of the overhead.

I'll admit my knowledge of business is minimal, but that seems like pretty good numbers for a branch of a company

I'll take you'er completely unsubstantiated quotes as gospel (I'm not really being a jackass... I believe you!) and just say that about that time they seem to have added a lot of over payed talent. :)

Read a stock prospectus. Read quarterly summaries in many publications. It's public knowledge.

The pivot is intersting because the dollars are so small in context.

The Force Awakens is at about 3 billion in revenue costing 300 million to make.

ESPN collects 3 billion in affilate fees in about 4 months.

They have just spent so much on MNF, NBA and MLB - that they are cutting loose people over money they used to have in their couch for Disney's earnings.

Makes sense. They can't cut costs on those contracts so they cut where they can.

Don't care for Tessitore's shtick....I hope this means that he will be exiting College Football Final.
 
via Reliable Sources:
It's finally official: Skip Bayless is joining Fox Sports 1. He said ESPN held him back... He'll be "completely honest" now... (THR)

This is akin to Trump's recent comment that _now_ he was going to "take the gloves off."

The NFL show has nearly completely turned over for MNF. Woodson is on board this year - almost a whole new team. Sundays in the studio and Mondays they will be on site for the games.
 
Its the end of an era, after 29 years Tom Jackson is gone, I will miss watching the hour long editions of NFL primetime with him and Berman. ESPN is going downhill and he knows it, Berman knows it.

Seemed to me Berman was driving the bus straight down the hill and had cut the brakes.

You do know the Sunday night version of NFL Primetime went off the air a decade ago right? When NBC got the SNF rights?

Exxxactly, EPN sucks, I agree Berman the last decade has been awful. I was just making reference to TJ and Berman when they did NFL Primetime thats all.

Life before kids.
