ESPN Hemorrhaging

[Pharm Frog]

You asking after the Skipper/Le Batard bar photos he posted to his twitter?

Well that’s one thing but just the corollary to his report. I don’t like “unnamed” sources so have a suspect feeling

Yeah, me neither, not about something as serious as that.

I figure if the John Skipper sexual harassment allegations story has legs, it’ll get picked up by other news outlets.

Just can't help themselves I suppose.

ESPN will NOT suspend Katie Nolan after she called Donald Trump a " stupid person" on VICELAND's "Desus & Mero" talk show on Wednesday ... a rep for the network tells TMZ Sports.

"We have looked into the totality of Nolan’s comments, they were inappropriate and we have addressed it with her," the rep said.

Wait, her plucky little show on FS1 didn’t pan out?

 

[Zubaz]

Why would they suspend her for that?

She's a rising star. Can't believe how badly she was used at Fox.

Who is Katie Nolan????? Never heard of her, and I guess if she is on E(ASS)PN that is a good thing!!!

Well maybe because her employer issued a directive that employees "should refrain from overt partisanship or endorsement of particular candidates, politicians or political parties" while avoiding "personal attacks and inflammatory rhetoric." However, since she didn't do this on social media, it technically doesn't fall inside that directive. If the ESPN release is to be believed (and who would?), the brass considered her commentary inappropriate and took action to address it with her.

Note to networks - guys aren’t interested by and large in listening to women opine on sports and acting “like one of the guys.” The next time one of these women has a successful sports show as anything other than a hostess will be the first.

Agreed. Still WB though.

You have to hand it to Katie Nolan. She has parlayed little talent and pseudo-cutting edge F bombs into a career because ESPN executives dig it.

Had no idea she was with ESPN now. Never watched her show on FS1 either though

Those commercials were relentless. In fact, most of their commercials are that way.

 

[PO Frog]

WB but that three minutes would be about all I could tolerate of her.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I could do it in 2.

 

[cdsfrog]

Hot and crazy. Definitely WB and then as quickly as possible.

She’s the one with the dead tooth.

Didn't know that DM or Eric Davis worked for ESPN but leaving this here.

DONOVAN MCNABB FIRED BY ESPN AFTER SEXUAL HARASSMENT INVESTIGATION
http://amp.tmz.com/2018/01/05/donovan-mcnabb-fired-by-espn?__twitter_impression=true

It's over for Donovan McNabb at ESPN ... the network has officially cut ties with the ex-QB after an investigation into sexual harassment claims during his time at the NFL Network.

As we previously reported, McNabb was named in a lawsuit filed by a former NFL Network wardrobe stylist who claims several famous employees harassed her ... including Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor, Eric Davis and Warren Sapp.

Those of us who listen to what was Sirius XM college sports have hear the pathetic full on cover for ESPN and CFP broadcasts of the First Team show. Greggy and Taylor have been laughable due to the levels of water carrying going on.

It was fun to see Kanell troll them last week.





Interesting how Kanell has was not on a few of his show's broadcasts last week. No matter how much folks like Packman say that it is just a name and it won't influence their shows, the ESPNU pressure on that sirius xm channel is becoming obvious.
