    Looks like Danny Kanell is out, I liked his show with Russillo. Russillo is an odd one, I like to listen to him but I don't like seeing him on TV, he seems to stuffy an out of place

    Poured my heart and soul into ESPN for last 8 years. Moved my wife and 3 kids to CT to go "all in" 5 years ago. Bummed it ended in 3 minutes

    Was just about to post this. That's too bad, I liked Kanell as well. Russillo and Kanell starts right now... wonder if he'll be on today.

    edit: nope. Adnan filling in. Awkward opening segment.

    Curious, how much do these guys make? Do they get severance? Will they be ok in the interim?

    Jayson Stark won't be unemployed long unless he wants to be, he's one of the better ones covering baseball on any network/website.

    Bummer for Hannah Storm's "reduced role" also, because she's just awesome.

    They are trimming the ratings losers.

    Baseball, Hockey and a little bit of bloated college football.

    The NBA coverage will not suffer any loses because the ratings only keep going up.

    See above. Ethan Strauss covered the Warriors, if I'm not mistaken.

    They just axed Calvin Watkins.

    Odd timing to fire him and the Warriors guy. You know, with the playoffs going on and all.
