Kind of reminds me of that line from major league. I thought you said we didn't have any high priced talent. Oh, that's Dorn. He's just high priced.

They can't just do what they used to do. Used to be that the only place you could see highlights was on sportscenter. But now you can see things on social media much faster. So sportscenter has to adapt to add more incentive to watch. Which is why they add all these "experts" screaming opinions, give the anchors more personality and opinion, bring celebrities on etc..

They are locked into a long-term contract. That's why they
Mar 7, 2017, 8:25 AM

are in so much trouble right now. Their revenue is decreasing rapidly due to people ditching cable and most of their expenses are in long-term media rights contracts. That gives them very little wiggle room to cut costs.
Honestly, the SEC deal isn't even close to their biggest problem. They have a 2.67 billion per year deal with the NBA through to 2025 and a 1.9 billion per year deal with the NFL through to at least 2021. They are paying the SEC a fraction of that... about 150 million per year.

The first cuts should be the 2 clowns on at 6:00 p.m., then Fowler, then Stephen A. Smith.

As someone who lost $17,000 and a home..
Mar 7, 2017, 8:55 AM

in Wells Fargo's home loan kiting scheme, and got repaid a whole $820 in a Federal Class action suit against them ten years later, I don't see how rewarding crooks by bailing them out with my tax money helps the economy. If conditions of firing CEOs and making them pay back consumers were part of the deal, I could agree,. At the same time companies that demand "free market" to control employee wages, but demand "socialist" bailouts by the government to protect them from their own greed and corruption without some form of punitive action, burn my -ss!

Probably my favorite on ESPN is Le Batard, because he'll tell them when they're full of crap. They'll probably cut guys like him and Herbstreit, but hang on to Stephen A. and Mark May.
