Semi-OT: Andy Katz leaving ESPN?

[Rico444]

He posted this with no context...makes it seem like a goodbye.

 

[UConNick]

I really hope not. I've always liked Katz and he was usually fair to UConn.

Could also be all people were let go by ESPN.

Those are people laid off. He was thanking them publicly, because Andy is a good dude.

That's too bad, Katz is a good guy and loves Uconn and Ollie.

What's too bad? Katz isn't going anywhere.

It's hard to believe ESPN is laying off anyone. How is that organization not making money hand over fist? Good grief!

How is [ESPN] not making money hand over fist? Good grief!

The hand is too busy stroking the golden power 5 programs and the fist is too busy beating down the competition.

As cable companies lose subscriptions espn loses subscriptions. Several million over the last couple years. Target is $250M savings next year. Rich contracts for NBA, NFL, NCAA contracts aren't helping either.

Yes.

 

[intlzncster]

Yes.

Good to hear. You're like a cockroach.

Can they make Neil Everett (aka Dove) and Jennifer Mendoza 2 of them lay offs? Neil thinks he's the new Keith Oberman except he has even less talent or comedic value, he's plain awful and not the least entertaining. And Mendoza uses every baseball hitting term she ever learned whenever possible in an attempt to make people believe she actually knows something about hitting, which she doesn't.

They are painful and should be canned!
